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.

They said it will. Hopefully it will work better than with civ6

nokturne213,

I never realized 6 had it, but I have not played multiplayer in probably 12 years.

It’s kinda broken because you have to use the same build but 99% of the time they are not synced across platforms

Binding of Issac, new update added some cool stuff as well as online mode.

chloyster,

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 :)

squid_slime,

Your playing at a higher level than me, I need to lookup guides at some point lol or at least the wikki. I just vibe my way through the game.

chloyster,

Super fair! That’s what I did for most of my play time. Something clicked for me my most recent pick up of the game though. Been blazing through it

I picked Dauntless back up, though that might be short lived.

Still, it’s been fun and familiar, though they completely reworked the weapon and armor system back in December, so I’m having to relearn good builds.

CaptSatelliteJack,

I’m sorry for your loss

Telorand,

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.

Honestly, I trust Steam user reviews more. So I will definitely wait to see what the reviews are there and then buy when it is discounted.

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.

To be fair, Mass Effect has one of the most convoluted modding processes and dogshit communities of all time. Other games are easier lol.

I was doing it for the Legendary edition to be fair. I dunno if that makes a difference at all. I ended up just sticking with a couple of basic community patches, staying in casual outfits on the Citadel and such in ME1, and upscaled cutscenes. Anything more than that was just way too fuckin confusing.

Oh and adding back the same sex romance options in ME1 and 2. I had no idea that was an option but my gay ass is super happy to be able to romance Kaiden throughout all 3 games now. Time for a break from Cortez, my beloved.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Haha awesome! Actually i was referring t9 the original trilogy being terrible to mod. I’m not sure about the legendary edition.

Majorllama, do games w Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?

Some games lend themselves better to modding. Some are much more complicated to mod. Some games need a mod manager to do conflict checks and some games can just have mods piled on top of each other endlessly without issues.

Mods within certain game engines can pretty much be moved between games ofln the same engine often with very little adjustment.

I would say in modern modding it is usually fairly straightforward, but some games and some older mods definitely require some deep computer fuckery.

Stick to things you’re comfortable with and skip the ones you aren’t.

SgtAStrawberry,

It also depends where you get the mod from as different sites offers different amount of help. On some sites you need to download, un zip, drag and drop files in different places and change files both in the mod and outside it, and other sites you just press a button and your good to go. Even when it is the same or similar mods.

Rogue, do games w Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?

I decided to not even bother with a significant number of mods because they just seemed mind numbingly confusing to set up.

I’m not complaining, I’m just wondering if I’m missing some trick or something.

I think you made the right choice here.

There’s no quality control in modding communities so I’d say the effort the developer puts into the install instructions is going to be a reasonable indicator of the quality of the mod itself.

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

Well the one that I was thinking of specifically in that moment came with a wiki and a youtube guide on how to set it. I just balked. Like some fuckery sure, but that is just obscene.

I played a bit of FFVII rebirth at the start of the week, but then had to pause I don’t have my main pc with me and I doubt it plays well on deck. I’m not sure if I wanna continue it tho, as my overall experience with the game up to now (middle of Costa del Sol) has been pretty bad.

I started Granblue Fantasy Relink, I think I’m near the end of the story mode. It’s pretty fun, although I wish the story too was coop.

I’m also playing Fire Emblem Engage (chapter 14), and it’s much better than Awakening: the maps are more interesting and the break system encourages you to be aggressive and makes using weaker units easier. The engage rings are pretty interesting; they feel a bit overpowered, but at the same time I feel like I’m not using them optimally.

I played a bit of FFVII rebirth at the start of the week […] I’m not sure if I wanna continue it tho

I’m also playing the game, it’s kinda disappointing, since I loved Remake, but I like the characters enough to continue.

_Lory98_,

Remake is great, I replayed it recently too in anticipation for Rebirth.

I too like the characters, which is why I’ll try to continue, but I’m probably gonna play the original game instead. I’ve already played around 20 hours of it, up to just after the

, and while the fast pacing is a bit jarring when compared to Remake, I enjoyed it much more than the parts of Rebirth I played.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I’m definitely not as down on Rebirth as you, but I liked Remake more. The combat is still fun enough, even if some fights/enemies are terrible.

I’ve also been thinking of re-playing the original, when I’m done, just as I’ve done after Remake. Like you said, I remember the pace throwing me for a loop.

Eurogamer 3/5 for reasons unrelated to technical issues. Stay classy Eurogamer…

Guilty. I have half a bookcase of legacy PC games

dan1101, do gaming w What video game franchises do you not need to start from the very beginning to enjoy? What would you recommend as the entry point into your favorite series?

Forza Horizon lol

Also Far Cry. No story connection between the games although there is one minor recurring character.

XeroxCool,

I’ve played Far Cry 2 through most of 6. If you don’t recognize particular references, there’s nothing that makes them substantial otherwise in the sea of creative, humorous descriptions of everyone/everything else.

I would say it’s similar with assassin’s creed, keeping it in the family of “ubisoft series gamers love to shit on”. The references are in the same style as other database entries, so you’re not missing anything if you’re unfamiliar. I’ve played 4 through Odyssey.

I’m trying to think of other series and keep landing on the same reasoning, actually. Yeah, I love having more basis for the lore in other series, but I don’t feel I’m missing much without every reference. I mean, Ace Combat was my personality for a few months when 7 came out, prompting me to replay 4 and 5 and buy Zero and 6. As others have said, the main thing is if you do choose to go backwards, things get clunky for both general game and specific series development reasons. Assin 4 was my most recent AC (tried 3, beat Unity>Ody, then beat 4) and man, parkour is tough. I gave up on 3 because it was so awkward and I was too old to learn at the elder age of like 23.

I gotta say though, Forza Horizon 1 remains my favorite. There’s certainly some nostalgia tied to it because it set me up for impossible expectations in the car community (especially now in the post-covid takeover bullshit). It had a more concise campaign and had some story attached to it. I’m up to 4 and it just drops me in like “this is just what you do now” and every race unlocks 4 more races with no end in sight.

Isn’t New Dawn a sequel to Far Cry 5?

dan1101,

Yes, you got me there. Forgot about New Dawn even though I finally played it for the first time a couple months ago.

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I feel like I recall a lot of people saying it was kind of forgettable though I might be thinking about Far Cry 6.

What did you think of it?

dan1101,

I put it off for a long time but I enjoyed it co-op. It was relatively short, the antagonists weren’t that compelling or even very present in the story, but I felt like it was greater than the sum of it’s parts and I enjoyed re-visiting Far Cry 5 locations with post-apocalypse appearances. Like “Hey, here is the island where you started FC5” and “Hey, here is the gas station at the rural intersection where you had to steal the truck.”

Tap for spoilerI really liked the first game, maybe in a year or two will try this one.

Nearing the end of the non-DLC portion of Pokemon Scarlet. I’m trying to finish my Pokedex before I jump to the DLC here and just have a little bit more focused breeding/leveling up the babies before I’m all set. I forgot how much fun a mainline Pokemon game is as it’s taken up a lot of free time as I get towards the end. I do think this has been one of the better entries and the technical issues, while present, are nowhere near game breaking from what I’ve experienced.

The open world was a little daunting at first. They give you three “quest lines” you can follow right out of the gate and I was initially stuck trying to figure out where to go and what to do, especially since two of the quest lines are literally in two different directions. The region is basically a big circle/clock face. You start at 6:00 and the first things you can do when the game opens up are at 4:00 and 8:00. Once I got the hang of the travel down it was a lot easier to do, but they throw a lot at you to start.

I am still waiting to see if they kept the ‘play by cloud’ feature.
