Banana, do gaming w What are some of your LEAST favorite game mechanics?
@Banana@kbin.social avatar
  • Excessive grinding or padding in a game just for the sake of it or for microtransaction reasons.
  • Microtransaction and pay-to-win models in full price $70 games...
  • Overuse of Quick time events Press E to dodge etc etc
  • Escort missions when developers want to pad their game out
  • Terrible stealth mechanics when an enemey spots me when im standing still in a bush from the other side of the map
sverit,

Yeah, the older I get, the more “I don’t have time for 10h grinding a day” I get. Just let me play a complete game in peace please.

smikwily,

I decided a few years ago that I play games to have fun and if a game isn’t fun, I don’t play it. I don’t have much time these days to dedicate gaming, so I want to enjoy the time I do.

I’ve had a few I’ve really enjoyed until I hit some really terrible game mechanic or even a boss encounter I can’t get past. I’ll usually give it a few days/tries, but I’ll flat out just bail and uninstall a game if it is causing me too much stress.

sverit,

Same here, life is too short to struggle ingame :)

pixelbound, do gaming w Got a Switch today, need some recommendations.

Nobody mentioning the Xenoblade series? If you like long JRPGs with 100s of hours of gameplay look at Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3!!! Recommend starting with the second one, but it’s not neccesary to play them back to back

haui_lemmy, do games w Is there a sort of collection/discussion of the stopkillinggames.com campaign?

There definitely should be. And folks who read this (sadly only those outside the US) should act immediately.

Edit: Thinking about it, you might wanna have a look at !anticorporate.

theorangeninja,

Yes exactly, there should be a community or something. But I am not familiar with creating lemmy communities or moderating online forums so I don’t think I am a good fit.

More Horizon Forbidden West, just exploring, killing, looting. While I think it's the best looking game I've played (on a technical level), it does have some super ugly effects, mainly the water reflections and the steam that comes out of the big doors, when you open them for the first time. Those look like ass. Also, climbing is pretty much brainless like the latest Assassin's Creed games, but has a few too many bugs to match it. Regularly you'll get "stuck" on a cliff, because Aloy doesn't want to get to one of the dozens of handholds in arm's reach. Same with climbing up on top of a rock or cliff, sometimes Aloy just refuses to do so, unless you move slightly to the side. Those are pretty minor issues, but are still annoying.

Then, some Dave the Diver, although that's been on the back burner this week, since I got really into Horizon.

Thymos,

How do you like Dave the Driver? Would you recommend it?

Immortals Fenyx Rising.

Feels a lot like Ubisoft still don’t understand the appeal of BotW vs their usual icon vomit on a map, but the gameplay and traversal are decent.

Oxygen Not Included. I really like this game eventhough I’ll probably never beat it.

Gabadabs, do gaming w Need fighting game advice

A lot is going to vary depending on the exact game you play, strategies and game mechanics can be super different. The best way is to find a character that you really like and focus on having a good time. It’s a genre built off of learning from failure, so you’ve got to try your moves in different situations and see what works. You can practice moves against bots to find what situations they work well in, and plenty of people post combos you can learn online. Just gotta lose a lot.

sleepybisexual,

The game I’m starting with is sf2 the new challengers for the SNES.

sleepybisexual,

My main problems are thawk and blanka. Those 2 often end my runs

Thx

World of Warcraft Season of Discovery. Something about Classic keeps me coming back. I think it’s the sense of progression.

testman, do games w Is there a sort of collection/discussion of the stopkillinggames.com campaign?

there is a channel in AF Discord
and there is /c/accursed_farms@sopuli.xyz, but there is not much going on in there.

theorangeninja,

The community is dead, unfortunately.

Stovetop,

Is there a dead dead game news channels channel?

Funny you mention Outer Wilds. I just recently finished Outer Wilds (first time), and so this week(end), I've been playing through the Echoes of the Eye portion. Really enjoying it. 😄

chloyster,

Yessss!! Everyone needs to play the game ༼⁠ ⁠つ⁠ ⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠ ⁠༽⁠つ

I’ve been watching streamers I like playing it so I can relive it in some small way

Still on Dragon’s Dogma 2. (at 94 hours of playtime)

I’m still finding new places around every corner. It’s got a ton of fun stuff to discover if you like open-world games.
