Evotech, do gaming w A reminder to not take online negativity too seriously

This is called survivorship bias

LwL,

Not really. It should be obvious that not every indie game will be super successful. This is just proof that some random reddit comments saying a game looks boring from an early trailer don’t mean shit, because basically everything will have those.

echodot,

Right so it’s not really proof of anything.

Wolf,

Well it’s kind of proof that the opinions of haters don’t meant shit. If both good/successful games and bad/unsuccessful games have them and they don’t affect the outcome at all, they have no value.

ieGod,

Might as well give up before even trying! Wtf is this defeatist attitude.

sqgl,

WTF is this feelgood fascism?

echodot,

What has fascism got to do with any of this?

Saleh,

I wonder if the opposite principle also has a name.

The first comment imo. is fair. It says that the market is saturated, so it is difficult to succeed, but it doesn’t rule it out by default.

The other two comments are just plain hostile and ended up being wrong. Lets call it dead troll bias or something?

Kingdom Come Deliverance II

Still working my way through this one. It’s aight. Not as good as the first one; better mechanics and QoL, but lacks the amazing writing and soul of the first one. Still very enjoyable when doing main quests though and excited to finish.

But… from what I’ve seen on Twitch I, next I really want to play Abiotic Factor. Described as Half Life 1 meets Minecraft, with apparently amazing progression. Can’t wait.

Quetzalcutlass,

Please post your thoughts on Abiotic Factor when you get to it. It’s tied with Grounded as my favorite game of the past few years.

Really? The first one seemed content to just let you do mundane tasks as part of your quests, but I’ve found that this second one makes sure that there’s always something interesting along the way.

Zahille7,

I’d say AF is more Half-Life mixed with SCP, personally.

Ghost Recon Wildlands?

Echo5,

I was gonna say this, not sure if it’s quite meeting all the OP specs but pretty close on most fronts.

I know it’s not what you asked for but i think you would enjoy the doom games, specifically eternal but 2016 is also great.

It has great campaign, great music, arguably the best combat system in a shooter game, it’s highly replayable, 20€ with all the dlcs when on sale and when played on higher difficulties it becomes extremly technical.

It also has a multiplayer mode but i don’t know too much about it

0li0li,

Oh, don’t worry, I think 2016 and DE are the best boomer shooters ever made, and play most other shooters to their music (I’ve been a fan of djent since Chaosphere).

slamphear,

I’ve been a fan of djent since Chaosphere

Wasn’t expecting to see this here, but same! I got into Meshuggah shortly after Chaosphere came out, and they’re my favorite band of all time over 25 years later.

xactoman, do games w Looking for a PC FPS with deep gunplay, where NPC enemies are humans

Not human NPCs but Hunt Showdown 1896 has the best gunplay in any shooter I’ve ever played, not even close.

0li0li,

Oh yeah? Interesting!

That’s PvPvE only right, or is there offline PvE for loners too?

xactoman,

nah unfortunately but i still recommend, game is a rush

sigmaklimgrindset, do games w Day 431 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

It’s so interesting that the Roche fight is where you felt the combat click, because it was the exact same for me! The game got waaaay more enjoyable once that happened, haha.

I know people dog on the remake for not being the OG/overpriced/a scam/whatever, but I really enjoyed my play through.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it’s because it felt very 1-2? Like, he has a pattern for his attacks I felt like so that helped it click

tpyo, do games w Day 428 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Oh that looks so fun! I’ll definitely check it out. I feel that I might be able to scrounge together a group that would enjoy this

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It’s definitely a fun time. It can be a bit awkward when you’re starting off or if someone doesn’t play along with the improv, but once everything starts moving smoothly it’s a fun time

tpyo,

It’s hard to get over “that”. It feels good but vulnerable to let yourself out. But literally no one cares

That’s the advice i’ve always given friends who are shy about this kind of stuff. Everyone will just forget about it in like a few days. Usually minutes. It’s better to kickback and relax and let that part of yourself have some fun.

Psythik, do games w Looking for a PC FPS with deep gunplay, where NPC enemies are humans

Find a popular multiplayer shooter that you like and play that.

You’re not going to get any sort of “deep gunplay” against bots, no matter the game. The technology just isn’t there yet. Sorry but you’re going to have to put up with humans if you want a good, deep experience that doesn’t become repetitive and predictable.

0li0li,

You are not wrong about bots, but by deep gunplay, I mean gun mechanics, like planetside 2’s or CS.

Things like this:

Psythik,

Oh okay.

Carry on, then.

The reviews are promising. I might pick this up on release after all

shelf,

I played the network test with my friend the entire weekend it was loads of fun I loved being able to more drastically change builds.

Evotech, (edited ) do games w Looking for a PC FPS with deep gunplay, where NPC enemies are humans

The finals is great.

They have a bot mode

0li0li,

You don’t say! Online only tho right?

Evotech,

Yeah, seems like the bot part if only in a practice arena for now. Rest of the game is online PvP

But it’s very fun

neon_nova, do games w Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.

The price is insane. No way I’m touching it until it’s about $50 cheaper. It doesn’t even have regional pricing for my country which makes it extra expensive by comparison.

dhhyfddehhfyy4673,

The dlc listed has a higher combined cost than the game even as well lol. All this seems particularly egregious for a remake of a 20 year old game.

neon_nova,

I don’t know why they thought they could get away with these prices. I’ve never even heard of this game before.

If the total cost was $20 and the dlc was included, I’d consider it…maybe

ratten,

But DUDE, it’s for the PC what Final Fantasy 7 was for the PS1!

You HAVE to buy it RIGHT NOW!

neon_nova,

If it was, we all would have heard about it. Everyone says they are the ffvii of blablabla.

Katana314,

A lot of it reads as lazy DLC meant to satisfy investors that want “value-adds” without taking a lot of development time. I’d imagine only obsessive fans (admittedly, there are many) would be considering them.

But the fact that it’s a remake of a 20 year old game doesn’t seem like it would affect the value. For reference, the old one was top down with prerendered chibi sprites. The new one is fully 3D with voice acting. It’s a pretty sizable change in appearance, even how the combat functions. $60 is probably normal, though it makes sense that for anyone unsure about it, either play the demo or just wait for it to go on sale.

At least in some stealth games you can avoid confrontation and killing.

The secret behind many great party games is that they facilitate improv and it’s really the players making the fun for each other

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Improv definitely makes a lot of games better, even non party games
