My friends are now into running archipelago randomizer worlds so I’ve been playing Pokemon Emerald and Fire Red together with my friends who are playing Tunic and Satisfactory.
Super pleased with how smoothly archipelago works and how much effort modders have put in to keep it that way.
I am considering buying factorio to play as well. It’s so much fun to add a multiplayer aspect to single player games while also essentially adding infinite replayability because every game is different.
The question I’ve had since this sequel was announced: Does it use the same approach to combat skill progression as the original, where players are robbed of agency instead of encouraged to learn effective use of available tools & moves?
Eike Cramer from IGN Deutschland seems to have my answer:
The game design is annoying with forced stealth on top of a frustrating save system. That’s especially true for some of the longer story missions. On top of this, the combat mechanics are extremely inaccessible and, with their mercilessness, put far too many obstacles in the way of the players, especially at the beginning. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is nevertheless an utterly unique, ambitious and, in large parts, very good adventure. But it’s also a video game that misses important points a little too often in the gameplay details and does not respect the player’s time in certain places.
Thank you Eike, and thank you OP for posting those quotes.
Who isn’t keeping multiple vintage pcs? I keep a core2 system with a floppy and disc drives to deal with old media. It even has parralel and serial ports in case I need to deal with old hardware like zip drives. It has internal sata so it can boot from an ssd.
Anyone know if it will have cross platform play? My brother is going to get it on ps5, but I would rather get it for Mac… unless we will be unable to play together.
Hell yeah. 90% of my game time has been Isaac. Finally motivated to go for dead god with the new update. I got all marks for the non tainted characters last week :)
Still going as of last night, but I’m waiting until after the current season ends in four days to see where things are.
I wouldn’t mind spending a little to support a game I like, especially since the rework seems like a pretty good direction to go, but not if the company that bought them is just gonna shut everything down and possibly pocket any recent sales.
Motortown: Behind the Wheel. The driving feels fantastic, it has just the right amount of RP-ability to be present, but not forced, and it can be high speed or high chill, your choice. I seriously recommend it.
