To… participate or watch? Because these days I can’t say I’m competitive enough in any game to bother. Not that I’m all that interested in competing either, anymore. Ten years ago me and my then Dota-friends were toying with the idea of signing up for something for a period there when we were playing a lot and doing well
To watch, well… I’m not sure. I don’t really play any esports type games currently. It’s a cop-out, but it would depend on the organisers. After mainlining the Olympics for a month I think I could probably get into anything - provided the commentators are good.
I’ve always heard it described as Minecraft meets Primitive Technology. I would say that is quite accurate. Maybe some (optional) Don’t Starve like elements where you have to worry about the temporal rift (sort of like insanity) and drifters (largely at night).
Technology progression is much slower than Minecraft. Also much more involved. Want a stone axe? You have to place a stone on the ground and use another stone to knap it into shape first. Make an iron shovel? You have to heat up the ingot first and then beat it into shape on an anvil. If you are too slow and it cools down you have to heat it up again.
Farming has 3 nutrient groups, so fertilizers and crop rotation is important.
Leather making is a multi step process of soaking hides in various liquids.
It has a built in and very extensive guide/wiki. It also has a native Linux build.
I was just recommended a video about this game earlier today. I had already opened this thread, but had not read everything yet. I’m taking it as a sign. Terrafirmacraft is one of my fav Minecraft modpacks, and Vintage Story looked to lean into what TFC was trying to do to Minecraft. Cheers for the recommendation!!
The only competitive game that I’ve ever been particularly good at was Battlerite (Blossom main), and that was completely abandoned by the devs and community.
Titanfall is likely the only competitive game I’ll ever dabble in going forward. I’m not even particularly good, I just love the moment to moment gameplay, the meta, the artstyle, everything. If i saw a local tournament, I’d definitely show up just for fun
I already attend local tournaments for Skullgirls, Street Fighter 6, and Guilty Gear Strive. If you’re looking to improve in fighting games, you’ll never get better faster than by going to locals.
What’s your nearest major city? Work with the TOs of the most similar game’s local and make it a side bracket with a small pot bonus or something, and see who shows up. Otherwise, there are majors like Combo Breaker and, this year, East Coast Throwdown running the game as an official tournament.
The nearest local that runs Skullgirls is juicy in Orlando/Oviedo and it’s not every week. I’ve been talking to the people who run the closest local about it but there’s not much interest. Everyone just wants strive and Tekken
You could probably make that work with Strive. Just make sure you’re helping them out and pulling your own weight. I know CEOtaku runs Skullgirls, and I know there are some SG players in the state, but I can’t speak for how much of a hike they are from Orlando. I think there’s hope for you yet. Otherwise, you can approximate the experience with online tournaments, as there’s one almost every night of the week.
In person? None. I ain’t about to spend all that money on gas to drive to some place where I for sure am about to get my controller handed back to me in pieces. Definitely not when I would probably need a respirator due to attendees reputation for less than ideal hygiene.
Online? Name the game. Dead By Daylight? Pyramid Head main reporting for duty. Halo? Any of the Bungie games, any map. Smash? Melee or Brawl only, Final Destination no items. Forza? I can handle any of them but prefer Motorsport 7 with no assists enabled. Heck, I’m even down to do score competition in Silent Hill The Arcade via Teknoparrot.
Most of the time I play for fun. I don’t try to be good or win or whatever. But that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to, and if I get a challenge I ain’t declining out of fear of losing. I might decline if I can’t be online at the desired time or for long enough to complete the match though.
“A lacking, mundane experience that leaves the player unfulfilled. 6/10”
like bish that’s a 2/10 you’ve just described. My review for Subnautica Below Zero:
“A new adventure that deviates from the cold, lonely word of the original Subnautica (which I gave an excellent 8/10). If you enjoyed the original game, you’ll certainly have a great time in Below Zero. The dialogue gets a bit cheesy, or well… off? at points, but the story is serviceable. The new vehicles are very fun to play with. The above-ground part is an absolute slog, but that a small part of the game. Overall, I loved Below Zero; it just didn’t quite hit the same notes as the original. 6/10.”
THAT IS A SIX OUT OF TEN! A GOOD GAME! A FIVE IS THE MIDDLE AAAAAAA
If there was going to be a game I’d show up for it’d be Forza Horizon, I’ve got the most hours in that and kinda do ok when I occasionally play online against randoms. Haven’t been playing much recently though, so the former statement probably still applies.
As a viewer or as a player? As a player, I’d be interested interested in joining for Dota, and maybe CS2. As a viewer, Dota, CS2, or maybe some of the classics that are easier to understand on a surface level like Age of Empires or Smash Melee. That said, it’d obviously depend on specifics; as much as I love any excuse to play more Dota, for example, I only have one consistent teammate and tend to rely on randoms for other lanes.
I’m certainly not expecting this game is amazing, but in terms of bringing a playable slice of a popular fictional world to life, I have a lot of respect for it. What I’ve watched doesn’t even fall too hard into the worst of Ubisoft formulas - and I would argue a lot of people can’t even identify what those are.
I don’t even expect to love it myself if I ever get it, but some of the hate towards the game seems so poorly formed and weird - stuff like “Looks like a mobile game” or “The main character is so ugly”. I can even get worries about it being a Ubisoft game, but just like EA, it seems like they do put out a game low on microtransactions every so often. I want to be sure they’re recognized for efforts when the game is decent.
I don’t even get the main character complaints… She’s got a cute coffee shop barista vibe to her lmao people are just weird about women being “beautiful” in such stereotypical ways I guess. Must be exhausting and extremely lonely to have such trivial “standards” for a damn video game character.
You are Quote, an amnesiac robot. The world appear to have gone to shit and you don’t know why.
It’s a 2D sidescroller, which if I told myself, I would find immediately boring, but the animation, controls and story combined as just so good. It’s so good.
