overload, do games w The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

I’ve been wrapping up endgame dungeons in Clair Obscur this week, having played through the story last week. I was a big PS1 final fantasy fan as a kid that later got into dark souls/Sekiro, so this game hit so hard for me. I can’t recommend it strongly enough if you’ve been a fan of these genres.

I really do lol. I was so caught up with getting territory before the Faction that kept starting wars with me could that I forgot to actually do the anomalies

MyDarkestTimeline01, do games w This new game Jump Ship looks interesting

From the videos I’ve seen I’m interested Unfortunately I’m only on XBSX so I’ll have to keep my fingers crossed that they bring it to consoles. They said that they are going to buy will be day and date or later on?

_hovi_,

Not sure about console releases, cross play would be sick tho

On the official website there is a link to the Xbox store… So yeah

MyDarkestTimeline01,

That’s good to hear. Hopefully the demo makes it to consoles as well.

I recently finished Horizon Forbidden West and immediately started Oblivion Remastered. It’s just as good as I remember it and I’m enjoying exploring Cyrodiil all over again.

red, do games w What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.

Got to argue, I’m a 39 year old gamer, started with PCs back in 90s.

The games are casual fun, they work great as co-op shooters. Story is what it is, but the games themselves are lighthearted and just pure entertaining fun.

Not masterpieces. Just good.

I have been playing a lot of Vintage Story. It’s been drawing me away from “finishing” Blue Prince and really digging into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. They’re all so good, I just don’t have enough hours in the day to actually play everything. Stupid having a job and adult responsibilities.

I'm assuming the post is actually about DRM operating at ring 0. That's not really root level though. That's kernel level. Root is still operating in user-mode and politely asking the kernel to interact with hardware.

But it doesn’t have the mandatory kernel level disclaimer either.

I did some more reading on this, and it apparently isn't due to DRM, its about an update to ToS that occurred in April. The update expands data collection for advertising and forced-arbitration. Arguably that's worse than kernel-level DRM. DRM can be ripped, legal shenanigans can't.

Sure, but it also seems like it’s data that you offer up via a 2K account, which I don’t have. I have a user name tied to my Steam ID, and that’s about it.

thermal_shock,

You think that will stop this from spreading like cancer?

Saw your first screenshot in the post and immediately thought Eve online.

I haven’t thought about that game in a few years.

I know that’s not what you’re playing but now I’m thinking about Eve again.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve heard of Eve before but know nothing about it. Is it similar to this? I might pick it up

RedditAdminsSuckIt,

They are completely different experiences. Eve online has a steep learning curve and is a player driven open world sandbox.

I haven’t played stelaris but after a google comparison between Eve and stelaris, I want to try it.

Eve online offers free to play now. They offer alpha accounts with the option to upgrade to omega whenever you want. I’m thinking about getting back with just an alpha account for frigate pvp.

I could never get into Stellaris, or most other Paradox games for that matter. I have a thing where I want the complete experience on my first playthrough, and Paradox’s DLC practices are like anti-catnip for me. I can’t enjoy the base game because I keep thinking of what all I’m missing out on, but the game with all DLCs is overwhelming for a newbie.

Side note, I got excited seeing this post’s thumbnail because I thought you were playing Starsector. Great game if you haven’t picked it up yet, one of those indie games that does a half-dozen genres and does them well.

Oth,

Yup, I had this exact issue with this game and everything paradox. I can’t enjoy it if I feel I’m not getting a complete experience, and if doing so means buying a hundred bullshit DLC, I’m out.

Grimm665,

This is a fair point, though I will say for most Paradox games the majority of the changes come out in free updates when the DLCs drop. And I’ve found (coming from Europa Universalis IV) that there are only a few crucial DLCs that really feel necessary to the experience, many just add cosmetics or minor changes that get balanced out with free updates anyway.

Doesn’t solve the problem, you still feel like you’re missing out, but for example EUIV has like 20 DLCs, only 5 or so I would consider mandatory, and they go on sale in packs so often I don’t think I’ve paid more than $50 for the full game and all necessary DLCs for any paradox game.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m getting a lot of game recommendations from this lol. I’ll have to give Starsector a look because I’m always in the mood to try a new game

I was up until 5 AM playing lol. If I didn’t promise to play something else with some friends I wouldn’t not be surprised at all if today was Stellaris too

I wish the switch made making miis a little easier. It felt a little more fun and natural on the wii, but I’m not sure why.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

They’re so buried in the system settings and the Maker is so… bland. I mean. I get it. They wanted to distance themselves from the Wii U as much as possible but it does feel like a lot of identity was lost because of that
