Sigh! Iāve added it to my Steam account. If Iād have known!..
Dude donāt sigh - just play the heck out of it whenever youāre ready, lol.
Thereās two games here Iāve been really wanting, Battle chasers and Deathās Gambit. Had I heard about Fell seal earlier it would also be with those two. Then thereās four ones I wouldnāt mind having, Nifleheim, Etherborn, My friend pedro and Exapunks.
Planet coaster Iām ambivalent about, on the one hand I do like a good management and builder game on the other itās a game which I believe started out with a bit of a lack luster content depth āfixedā with too many expensive DLCs.
I think I will probably pick this month up, though pick 9 and 10 will be hard.
Ooo Exapunks, another Zachtronics game I can add to my list of uncompleted Zachtronics (aka all of them). Sadly, there isnāt anything else I really want.
Fell Seal is a great game if youāre looking for something like Final Fantasy Tactics, especially since there really arenāt too many other games of the same vein.
I mean if you dont have planet coaster get it but if you already do⦠I would skip.
Be advised that Planet Coaster and F1 feature Denuvo, in case that matters to you.
Frontier Developments appears unwilling to consider the removal from Planet Coaster, actively shutting down threads on it last I checked.
To curb potential arguments resulting from this post: if you donāt care if Denuvo is in those games, by all means get them. Some people donāt like the software, and thatās fine too. If you wish to have a discussion on this, please consider using your local inbox or search function rather than rehashing the discussion. Thanks.
The only one i donāt already own but would want would be Niffelheim.
but there is a few good games there if someone didnāt already own them
I only want 198X and maybe FellSeal. Maaaaaybe also Deathās Gambit and also Etherborn looks nice. All the others are not my cup of tea, so Iām probably skipping this month.
Itās weird - last year it was all about the big titles for me, with Spyro topping the cake, and this year Iām semi-indifferent to biggies, but the smaller titles make me buy months I would 100% skip if I only saw the āmainā bundle games.
turok 1 is a really good game
is it rly though? i mean in todayās standards? I can understand someone playing it out of nostalgia, but otherwise, why would one play this today?
I want to say I played it about three years ago, first-time playthrough.
First of all, say what you will but I find N64 graphics to be charming. Theyāre repetitive and blurry, but incredibly smooth. The Kex Engine port by NDS and Kaiser just kind of preserves the original look and feel as much as possible.
The game is at times more like a 3D platformer than a shooter, and the 3rd stage has aged badly with its endless pillars of jumping⦠but I had a great time playing the game, much less so with Turok 2. It encourages you to explore every inch of the levels and find new things in them, and I had a fantastic time playing it to the end. The bossfights aināt a slouch either.
There is a modding community on Steam and some people have done some pretty neat-o things, not sure if itāll be enough to keep you interested though.
I dislike DENUVO but from a developer standpoint I can understand the frustration of piracy and the feeling of helplessness all devs experience when they see their game being pirated. Again, I donāt condone something as invasive as DENUVO but itās not impacted me or the gameplay and the gameplay of Planet Coaster is amazing. Itās a slightly more serious Roller Coaster Tycoon ā and considering how hard that franchise has fallen off (RCT: World anyone?) I cannot recommend any theme park management/builder game more than Planet Coaster.
Also, you donāt need the DLC to enjoy Planet Coaster! There is so much content in the Steam workshop, knock yourself out designing and grabbing other playersā creations, even professional studios create items, buildings, rides, and parks for others to use. Iām not attacking the DLCs either, if you can afford them (or next time they go on sale!) they are fun too, this is just Frontierās business model for how they fund continued development of their games. As much as Iād love to keep getting free content, I understand why some studios choose to charge for it.
For those that think Frontier is just āanother greedy developerā, they are a medium (but growing) UK studio that I really want to succeed because theyāve shown to care about creating quality games first, and then monetize them later. Yes, they do care about money, but itās not been to the detriment of their games (so far). For 2019, their entire year they made Ā£17.4 million in net profit while spending well over Ā£70.3 million creating and maintaining the franchises we love (Planet Coaster, Elite Dangerous, Planet Zoo, Jurassic World: Evolution, and future games). This is not egregious by any stretch. And they arenāt tax dodgers or anything sketchy: they paid their U.K. and overseas taxes ā to the tune of about Ā£2.2 million despite the company as a whole not running a retained profit yet (basically they ran at losses for years, and still have tax credits so they are using about 50% tax credit and paying 50% each year they do book a profit).
TL;DR - Planet Coaster is a great game, tons of content, both paid and free, and the devs do care about sustaining and supporting it.
Andā¦I want all 12ā¦so there.
I tried a quick play of Fell Seal and also Battle Chasers: Nightwar. I think Iāll prefer the latter game tbh. Weāll see if that changes when I put a little more time into each.
Planned to do the same tonight and ended up in a long chat instead, hee hee. Sleep soon and hopefully can try tomorrow myself. Will likely trade for Battle Chasers if opportunity presents itself.
Sleep?! Whatās that? Itās only 04:32 here
12:46 am here. Why am I up you may ask? Maybe, because I slept earlier today. More likely, too many thoughts and feelings in my head.
Unless you really need it on Steam and not DRM-free, DONāT choose Etherborn, itās in trove now.
The other new trove game is Snake Pass, itās decent imo, and I say itās worth checking out.
good info
wonder which other iām gonna leave out then
