The official Beast's Lair Steam thread

[Malgos]

I think as far as something I don't have that I'm interested in, I'd like to have a game where you make something? I received a Scribblenauts game one time but I never got the hang of it. I mostly play games to calm down, if and when I play them. To have a focal point outside everything else. I enjoy hunting for things and whatever in the Bethesda games I have, and I like Plants vs Zombies, but I think I would like to have something that was both sort of game-like and creative. Building something or making something that is cumulative. I don't know exactly.

I'm going to assume you're looking for a Steam game. Well going through the list of stuff I have on there have you tried Recettear? You sorta build up your own little item shop and can play it extremely casually to semi-casually, since usually when you go item hunting in a dungeon with an Adventurer you want to clear 5 floors of the dungeon and depending on the size that can take a bit. Not to mention that you can just open up shop and haggle with people if you don't feel like committing "that much time", although I don't think these sort of things take long at all, but I never played Plants vs Zombies so I don't know how much commitment that tower defense takes. Also has a demo version, although that one seemed harder than the actual game, but it allows you to get a taste of the first ingame week or so.

Another thing you could look into is something like Terraria it sort of allows you to build up stuff and even make your own little town, and it has some boss fights. I got some enjoyment out of that game, but I don't feel fully confident recommending it either. I guess it's upside is that you can play it with friends and to be honest that's the primary reason I had it, because people talked me into buying it. I never really understood the minecraft craze nor will I ever like that game, but at least Terraria seemed bearable to me so I bought that to play with my friends.

Aside from that maybe some sort of turn based strategy game, in which you can build up a village or something? I don't really know, I don't have much experience with these sort of games, aside from Heroes of Might and Magic (3 and a bit of 4) and that one isn't all that focused on building some sort of town.

I tend to gravitate towards the sort of games that want you to invest a lot of time into them so I can't really be of that much help. Also I wouldn't say that these two games are good on the level of Fallout New Vegas, so I wouldn't expect too much out of them. I just tried to mostly stick to what the post said.

Bastion.

I'd recommend Transistor to you as well, but Transistor is meant to be played in large chunks, if not all at once, I think. Bastion can still be played in parts.

Anyone who happens to want a 75%-off coupon for Valkyria Chronicles?

[I3uster]

I can trade it off you for mine.

[Seika]

OK.

Wait, what if we give both of ours to one person? Then they can make Steam pay them 50% of the worth of the game!

[I3uster]

gaben...defeated...

[Five_X]

I'd like to have it, if (either of) you don't mind!

[Seika]

The giving of it to you is.

[Five_X]

Thanks, Seika!

Just played Factorio for 7 hours straight in 3 player co-op!

We have a huge perimeter wall with sentry guns, and factories producing ammunition and an infinite conveyor belt loop to constantly take ammo to the guns, and electrified cranes to auto load the guns.

Laser cannons would get rid of the logistics but it's not as cool

Lightning Returns for $10. >y/n?

[SeiKeo]

Y

[Trubo]

Oh yeah, when does that sale end, does it include 13-2, and is 13-2 even worth playing?

[Kirby]

Apparently, March 7. So like 3 days.

And 13-2 is also $10

[Trubo]

Hrm, maybe I'll actually get around to finishing 13.

[SeiKeo]

and is 13-2 even worth playing?

N O

[Five_X]

Not enough cute dressup fun?

[Dullahan]

if you liked 13's battle system, 13-2 is basically that but with some of the frustrating elements taken out and a few more added in

it's also less 'linear' if you honestly give a fuck about that

and believe it or not, its plot is exponentially dumber than that of 13

[SeiKeo]

sarah and noel are also both unbelievably boring drips, even compared to snow etc

only caius can save that game

[Mashina]

13-2 is the most fun of the trilogy gameplay-wise. (Except for those puzzle sections)
And the time-travel shenanigans are great even if they don't always make sense.
