What game are you wasting time on?

[JulyPiS]

Does anybody lose time with Dota2?

A lot of degenerates for sure.

 

[Catacombs]

Does anybody lose time else enjoy self-flagellation with Dota2?

FTFY because Dota2 is shit.

Also, welcome, new bro.

 

[HansDampf]

Would you recommend Prey 2017 or Dishonored?

Prey.

I'm playing Demons Age. What a mess. Two bosser are downed. I have a party of four. Cleric/Wizard/Fighter/Ranger.

I'm playing this out of curiousity. This is self flaggelation, not Dota 2.

I'm playing Demons Age

Oh right, that one existed too. Soo, is there any story at all or is it just killing until the endboss comes?

There's a "story there", with side quests, but they are barebones. Dialog is voiced, and the intro movie is actually decent. All I can say for now is stay away. I'm playing out of morbid curiosity.

Freedom Force - Someone in a screenshot thread reminded me that i have it in my library. So far i think it's a cool game.
Pick 4 superdudes/girls from the constantly growing roster of superheroes to complete a mission and try not to wreck the city while doing so. If the city is still intact and it's citizens are still alive when you can get an extra prestige which you can spend on getting extra heroes to your roster. They're pretty expensive and i felt at first that i wasted all my prestige on Man-o'-War and Sea Urchin, but these two with ther electrical attacks proved to be very useful in those levels were you fight against Dr.Mechanical and his robots.
Kinda enjoyed all of the heroes the game let me to try so far. My least favourite of them is probably the Mentor, not because his focus on control abilities suck or anything but more because i am more of a "i quickly close distance, hit them hard and scream for justice" kind of person. I prefer using Alchemiss to him anyway.
Agree with the opinion that this is one of the better implementations of realtime with pause.

Started playing ATOM. It's really cool and once I turned on the isometric mode I got kicked in balls by Fallout nostalgia. It's insane how much better the game looks to me in that mode.

It was the only RTwP I ever played and I didn't had a great time with the gameplay and you're telling me it's one of the best implementation? Though my biggest complain was how it wasn't possible to chain orders (like move there, then shoot)

By "one of the better implementations" i meant that i didn't found it too awkward to control 4 heroes at the same time. I sometimes loose track of the characters if they're fighting too far away from each other, apart from that i have no big complaints.

I found it rather awkward personally, in addition to not being able to chain commands, the way the select button is the same as the move button, so I'd often give a move order while trying to select a hero.
But I mostly played with ranged heroes (I used Mentor in a lot of missions, for example) rather than melee, which maybe explain our respective impressions

I got to the final boss of blasphemous and stopped there. Final boss was tough so I explored more and got a bit upgraded. I then looked up what stuff I was missing, which always kills the magic, but in this case saved me major headaches. I got annoyed that stuff I missed was giddamn impossible or at least very tedious to figure out without looking it up. This is NOT a part of souls games worth emulating. Decided I had explored and gotten as much fun as I could and time to move on. Great game overall. Now playing modded oblivion which Ive always loved despite codex feelings on it. Also simcity 4.

A silly dream of mine has come true. I was browsing the Steam Workshop for different things to add to Football Manager 2020, because I got the urge to play it again. I found that someone had implemented the lowest divisions in Sweden. I quickly downloaded it and started a new career as my club. The club I have co-founded in real life. It's hilarious. There's no real staff or players, but the stadium name and stuff is correct. Cross off a childhood dream off the list.

The ascent from division 6 to Allsvenskan is about to begin! I'm also doing my best to get promoted with Boston United in the English Leagues. They start at the lowest division, and I am now sitting in first place in League One. Championship teams with decent squads have approached me, but I have resisted the temptation to move to a bigger club.

Just almost beat Jupiter Hell on NIGHTMARE, except the last figth, where you apparantly need some WMD weapon, like rocket launcher with toxic cloud mod, or Toxicologist perk, cause summons the Summoner summon (welp) are too numerous, I underestimated it, cause on ULTRAVIOLET this figth is a cakewalk.
Not going to do that again cause there will be no difference except the last 5 min, bleh.

Half Life 1 Trilogy in VR via Quest 2 port. About halfway through HL will soon play OF and BS.

Might and Magic X: Legacy.

Random stumbling at the codex review has prompted me to even install uplay for it. What a nice game. Rolled with 2 fire priests/2 free mages glass canon full crit blast party, having fun.

Unfortunetaly the non-combat parts like Tower of Enigma where I'm atm aren't nearly as fun as they were for the 1-2 times but oh well.

Too many buff/heal shrines around are begging to be abused which encourage OCD backtracking and its taking some fun away.

Still, as I said, a very nice smooth and decently looking game to this day, will finish the run for sure.

have you guys played UFO Aftershock and UFO Afterlight yet? They are, in my opinion, currently the best RTwP tactical combat game.

I did try Freedom Force a while back but quit after one hour I think. The combat did not make me feel very tactical.

7.62 high calibre takes the cake from your UFO games and beats them on the head with it.

Next up on the budget Unity coop horror games list is Devour. It's about on the same tier as Phasmophobia in terms of polish and a bit behind in content (only one map so far, but it is large and they're working on another one with a different game mode) but it is cheaper. A friend gifted it to me and we went into it blind with 4 players and that was the right approach. You're part of a demon worship cult and you show up at your boss' house to find out what's gone wrong (hint: she's possessed, big time) and the objective is to herd goats to a ritual site and burn them to sever the link between her and the demon. Each goat you burn makes her a bit more aggressive and causes changes in the atmosphere for the darker. The only way to fend her off when she hunts for you is by using your magic flashlight's limited charge to stun her. There doesn't seem to be a limit to how many times you can get downed outside of how many medkits there are in the map for your buddies to revive you with. The sound design and graphics are good for the budget though the voice acting is iffy, they seem to have used amateur voice actors which is fine, but they also don't seem to be native English speakers, or doing weird accents. We got 7/10 goats before she picked us off one by one. There's definitely an optimal way to play by piling up the necessary resources before sacrifice so that you can get it done quickly. Going in the first time was a very unique experience with the fear of the unknown and figuring out what we were supposed to do; find hay, bring that hay to goats, pick them up while they're eating (initially thought we had to manually lure them), use gasoline the lit the pyre, etc.

I am hesitating to judge 7.62 because I did install it once or twice over the decades but never play long enough to have a proper opinion about it. Shouldnt be over 1 hour of playing if I make a guess.

I just got into Erannorth Reborn because it's a sandbox adventure deckbuilder thingy. I got hooked so I bought the expansions after playing ~4h today. It feels more ambitious than most games, while keeping complexity properly scoped to character builds and factions.

The downside is that it's windows only so I have to play over Parsec from my mac.

I've played a bunch more and it's miles ahead of any other deckbuilder. It has both "arcade" mode like any deckbuilder, and a sandbox/infinite mode. The event system was revamped with the last expansion and it's like a card-driven CRPG now. You can point-buy your stats and perks. Each class/race/faction combo has its own card mechanics, and there are tens of them. From the events you can recruit unique allies or collect special loot that changes your whole playstyle. So even within the same class you can make several viable builds that are unique.

For example, I have played a vampire necromancer focused on DoTs and draining health. Then I found a lair that gave me a thrall every turn and respecced into spamming disposable summons while leeching them for health. Next game I started with an Ifrit Paladin that was building its own company, where a healer kept alive several guards that'd defend and retaliate every turn while I sat back and casted light arrows. In the last one tonight I was a Fey Monk that could do, every turn, two flurries of 6 blows that would down any boss without high physical defense.

10/10 lads.
