What is the best post-apocalyptic game on Steam? Fallout, the Witcher, and several other games involving zombies are the first to jump to mind, but there's surely much more out there.

It wouldn't be an Obsidian game then.

And/or Bethesda engine game.

But really, these games keep their legacy engines because of how extensible they are. They know a lot of the reasons people buy/play/love these games is because of how customizable they are. Creating a new engine would probably iron out a lot of the problems, but it may also reduce a lot of the modding.

I really can't think of any other games (including ones with modding tools like the Witcher and Dragon Age Origins) that have as much community knowledge and involvement.

But yeah, better exception handling might have been something they could have patched in themselves.

I can't keep track of all these Steam threads!

... wait, no. Yes, I can.

L4D2, STALKER, Wasteland 2, Metro 2033 + Last Light. Plenty of good stuff out there.

Don't forget The Age of Decadence.

i would say it's because Obsidion and Aspyr are chill while Bioware only wanted to make a mobile version and not lend those enhancments to PC

Shitty if that's the case. I'd definitely pick it up again if it had full controller support.
 
Thinking about getting a Windows tablet. What games would run on a Atom/Bay Trail? I don't want to stress it, I mean what are good Steam games that would be suited to this power level? SCUMM, Wadjet Eye, Grimrock, Shmups?

Mad Max, STALKER, This War of Mine, Neo Scavenger
 
Was this mentioned? Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- finally coming to PC on December 14th.




On a side note, I just fucking bought this game when it was discounted on PSN a week ago. Oh well, maybe I'll double dip on the PC version. And in case you're wondering, store description states no cross support with the PS3 and PS4 versions. Bummer.

The ammount of steamthreads makes me confused

i am alive is far from the best post apoc game but i actually liked it quite a lot. lots of good ideas in that game executed on a lower budget than it deserved


is that post apocalyptic?

or is it post apocalyptic like the witcher is lol

The Witcher is post apocalyptic?

AoD is more post-post-apocalyptic tho
 
Good recommendations y'all, thanks.

STALKER seems like something I should check out some day. Also, the Long Dark... maybe Underrail; though I normally like a little more story in my RPGs. The backlog grows.

It is, sort of. The Witcher was a normal world until the Conjunction of the Spheres, which introduced the three M's to the setting: Monsters, Magic, and Man. It was quite the catastrophe.
Another thread?

A good thread always comes in twos: one to use, and one to preserve for the ages.
 
You can make a case for the Witcher being post-apo in a couple ways. My favorite:

The humans are hinted at coming from Earth or an earth-like planet during the Spheres thing. They get there and proceed to murder the shit out of almost all of the non-humans (among other atrocities). The original world ruled by non-humans is basically gone and the remaining ones are being exterminated by the humans; so the world is post apocalyptic for them.

No mention of it but I hope they do the same thing as last time and include all the DLC as a pre-order bonus.

Really wishful thinking though :/

What's new in Revelator?

What if the other thread is also by MRORANGE?

MRORANGE loves to spam Steam threads? :D

Nah, this one is just temporary. I'll make a December thread when it actually hits December here in the UK, which will also be temporary until morningbus makes a December thread when it hits December in the US.

Simples.

Bought this game for my PS4 and never even put the disc in. I'm looking forward to seeing Millia in 8k! In the meantime I'll just listen to Big Blast Sonic all day.

So if we replace elves with dinosaurs, wouldn't that mean we live in a post apocalyptic society already?

Post-Post-Post-Post-Post Apocalyptic Society, yes. There's been five mass extinctions, and best of all, we're currently in one.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

Keep an eye out for my holiday-themed 12 Days of Steam Threads, where I'll be posting a new Steam thread every day until Christmas, where as a gift to all of you, a new Steam thread every hour/half hour/three-quarters of an hour (based on timezone) will be posted to help you get in the Christmas spirit!

After that, come back for another new Steam thread where MROrange and I fight each other for your amusement in a special Boxing Day Steam Thread.

Looking forward to this. I'll set up a special betting thread where we take bets on the result of that fight.

So Darksiders Warmastered has FXAA and FSAA options only; can I inject MSAA via NVidia Inspector? For now which of the two is best and should I leave Vignette post processing on?
What's new in Revelator?



MRORANGE loves to spam Steam threads? :D

REVELATOR has the following-
1- Rebalances the game
2- Adds in half a dozen new characters
3- Each character can perform one of their supers with the Dust button now, this'll use the same animation for that super but will deal more damage. This will consume 50% of the super meter and drain a full Burst gauge to perform it though.
4- Easy Input mode! Press the R2 button after select easy input at character select to perform all special moves with the button ala Smash Bros.

From single player side, the MoM has been improved from what I heard.
 
It's unacceptable that Xrd and BB doesn't natively support joysticks. All the KOF games support it and they were barely a co. at the time they release those games on steam.
