Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I'm down for some co-op sometime. I just started so my character is low level.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Just really started digging into 2 last night, I like how some of the improvements are for all of your characters and am told the multiplayer is much improved.

Got it!

I'm all for co-op. Gotta do some leveling first.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I got the BL pack a couple of months ago when it was about the same price(I think it was around $23 or $24). Only have 1 character so far though, Maya, I think level 42 or so. went through the game once(except the newest DLC). recently started to go through it again in the true vault hunter mode. still a bit over leveled at the point of the story I'm at, so it's slow leveling at the moment.

Has anyone here played Prison Architect?

The game intrigues me.

It is fun, but not unless you get it around the $19.99 range. Awesome sim type game though, very well done.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Yep its up.

B1 got very boring after a while and I never played 2. Still waiting on some new experiences.

Same happened to me. I put down Borderlands for a few months before going back and finishing it. I played BL2 when it first came out up until level 20 or so. Got a little bored and then everything else came out last year and I still haven't gone back to it.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Do y'all have your inventories viewable? Mine is and y'all are more than welcome to ask me about anything in there you like.

I do now. It's empty. How do you even get stuff for it? Other than the special event things anyway.

Everyone go here and play this demo: http://undertale.com/
Don't read the kickstarter or watch the trailer or anything,it's better to be suprised. It's a fantastic game from what's there. Even has alternate endings just for a demo and apparently it knows if you try to "save scum" then calls you on it. (I didn't try,just read about it afterwards.)

So no Steam sale, but good news is that Rogue Legacy is out!

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

BL2 improves on everything from BL1, especially the characters and story. No real reason to play BL1. Lets get some coop going on Steam!

Here's Rogue Legacy review(? I think): http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013...-rogue-legacy/

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I would say Rogue Legacy is worth buying based on its run animation alone.

Well after watching the video of Alpha 10, $30 is probably a decent price to get it for now. When I bought it, it was in early alpha. Might have to give this another go.

Awesome game for those who love these style sims. It is fun.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

This is not a knock on Rogue Legacy, but don't y'all feel like the indie scene is becoming over saturated with "retro" pixelated graphics (and platformers for that matter)? I know I do. It was refreshing when games first started utilizing old school techniques, but now its getting ridiculous.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

The recent explosion of 2D games is simply a result of small groups of people making games within their means.

All it takes is one programmer and one artist to make an awesome sprite-based game.

3D games of any type, by contrast, require significantly more manpower and technology to create.

That makes 3D games a financial and logistical impossibility for smaller teams unless they are helped out by a major publisher. Especially if you're planning on having HD graphics and animations on-par with today's Xbox 360/PS3 games.

As for why there are so many platformers, again, it just comes down to what's easiest to make. Complex physics or multifaceted AI isn't needed in platformers, so once you nail down the main character's movement, the rest of the work is just a matter of building rooms and filling them with art, enemies and obstacles.
