Finally seeing some post apoc stuff where you play as the good guys for a change. Metro: Exodus is fun and shiny but every now and then you gotta dive into multi-faceted numbers heavy games.

Might want to try that one first if you can get it cheap. It's been free on EGS before but it looks like the best current deal is "only" 75% off on GamersGate.

Thanks for the feedback but to be honest I am interested in this particular game because of the whole supernatural. horror element. I dont normally play Sherlock Holme adventure type games Do you think this is a supernatural, adventure game ....in other words I dont just want to solve crimes I want to solve supernatural crimes ?

Keyrock Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 I think I have all the evidence I'm going to get in Paradise Killer. I have a pretty good picture in my head of what happened. One suspect, in particular, I have dead to rights. I have a veritable mountain of evidence against said suspect. That said, there's more at play here than just that one suspect. Furthermore, I may be able to topple the entire Syndicate if I play my cards right. I have the game saved right outside Judge's chamber. I'm going to sleep on it and formulate a plan, then tomorrow I'll go to trial. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
LadyCrimson Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Well I managed to survive long enough to place a HUB in Satisfactory. Then I upgraded the Hub a few times right off the bat. Placed what I think is an auto-miner bot. I guess one needs a lot of fuel and right now all I have is leaves and twigs, apparently. Now I'm supposed to scan for copper ore, which of course will lead me out into the wild again. I have the feeling almost all ore sources are going to be "guarded" by beasties. Bets on survival? ...also reinstalled DIablo1 for the umpteenth time and poked the Butcher full of arrows. Using the Hellfire version, haven't done that in ages. ...I need another expansive, open world-ish, shiny but somewhat mindless/simplistic rpg.

Grim Dawn's action may be mindless but the character building is fairly complex, and it's hardly what I'd call open world. Having said that, probably the best Diablo clone I've played, as I have 352.7 hours sunk into it.
marelooke Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Been mucking around with an alt in Final Fantasy XIV. Playing through the early game again really underlines how "heavy" the story becomes later. In Conan Exiles I've mostly been playing the new DLC map, Isle of Siptah. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it. the entire map feels PvP focused, every resource is centralized in some way to maximize the chance you'll run into other players, but it is a new map, with new story to uncover Wild Surges only spawn low tier Thralls, T2 crafters are as rare from Wild Surges as T4 spawns are in the Exiled Lands oh yes, Surges are the only real way to get Thralls there's no Purge, so there's really no reason to build a defensible base in PvE (then again, the Purge is so buggy that even a defensible base doesn't help if they just spawn inside. So yeah, just ditching it was easier than fixing it, I guess) to get better thralls you have to grind a whole bunch of new resources to spawn a "greater" Surge, which only gives you a chance at better Thralls. A very low chance, if the CE forums are to be believed, and there's then even the chance that you'll get non-humanoids spawned too, which are entirely useless. there's basically nothing to do on the island until you get high enough level (45+) the various combat and healing nerfs that came with the expansion have made boss fights, and the early game, really painful (combined with the terrible hit detection and dodgy server code...well, combat's not the game's best side, imho) various crafting materials drop that you cannot use since the recipes appear missing from Siptah (but maybe just haven't found them yet) Since the last mod I needed updated for my Exiled Lands save has now been updated I might just go back to playingbuilding there for now. Still got a humongous pyramid to complete, after all Edited September 30, 2020 by marelooke 2
Malcador Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Still plugging along in Majesty. Did the ring mission but not sure how - I didn't see what hero picked up the ring, and if they got nuked by the Dark Phantoms, maybe was the AI hero that got it, but won the mission with no one around the objective. Guess I won't look at a gift horse too closely. Why has elegance found so little following?

Hurlshort Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Yeah, Isle of Siptah for Conan felt a bit empty. I think it is the lack of all those enemy camps everywhere. I set it side for a bit. I know the base game doesn't have a ton of story, but I do feel like I stumble across more letters and stuff. 1
Keyrock Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Is the Isle of Siptah completely separate or can you reach it from the "mainland"? RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Need to run a separate server instance for it as well (so I have two Conan servers running now...) The good news being that multi-map is now supported, so stuff like Age of Calamitous should be easier to support for modders.

Malcador Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Slowly making my Brno team better, means I probably will end up with a non Czech team though, as inevitably all my home grown players are garbage and I keep finding decent Slovaks and Serbs to replace them with. We may even win an away game now (this game models home advantage by making the away team stultified) 2 Why has elegance found so little following?

LadyCrimson Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Conan Exiles is an online game right? Or you have to at least be be online/in a private server to even play solo?
