I agree, Bethesda is shit.

Idk what you look like to narrow down the recommendations. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I will say that despite all the negative shit I’ve heard about Forspoken, I think the combat and traversal systems are super fun and the stupid bracelet is vastly more annoying than the protagonist. The game is literally “girl boss power fantasy” too.

I would say the only thing I cherish from Fallout 4 is the power armor mechanics. Throw that shit in New Vegas and let’s gooo

Oh the hate for the two health bars.

FooBarrington,

Oh boy would you enjoy the final boss of Sekiro, 4 health bars

moody,

The first one doesn’t count. It’s really just a formality.

FooBarrington,

Tell that to my gourds!

ramble81,

Never play most any Final Fantasy game…

colderr,

Spider-Man 2 has a cool thing where every single boss has at least 3 health bars technically. You beat it the first time and then a cutscene, then you beat it a second time and you get a cutscene, and then you beat it for a third time and you again get a cutscene.

The final boss is especially annoying, where it does that same thing but just 10 times (no joke).

The fights play out pretty similar too, which doesn’t help.

But I still loved the game!

NotASharkInAManSuit,

Spider-Man is one of the few games that I loved the long drawn out battles in, they made the combat in those games so much fun, and it made it feel like a proper comic book superhero fight.

Goodeye8,

I haven't read the new TOS but if this review is correct it looks like a GDPR nightmare for them. Good luck to them explaining why they need to collect all that personal data.

raltoid,

The “collected data types” in that comment seems to be copy/pasted from the privacy policy

www.take2games.com/privacy/en-US/

avattar,

That might be US only, where the companies have freedom to get all the customer’s data and do with it as they will.

echodot,

The list where this doesn’t apply seems to basically be every country with consumer protection laws.

They obviously know this won’t fly pretty much anywhere other than the US so that’s all they’re trying to push.

@Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub avatar

Most people don’t care about privacy.

Most people in the western civilized world are on Facebook, so…

blind3rdeye,

but ask those same people whether facebook should be allowed to collect and use all that data, and people will generally say ‘no’.

LainTrain,

Sad truth, but it’s no excuse.

Vinstaal0,

Do we know this is a thing in the EU?

Peter_Arbeitsloser,

I just read the german version and compared them a little. (www.take2games.com/privacy/de/) Its about the same. But ist also reads fairly normal like any other privacy policy. I also think its in line with EU law. The collected data always relates to whatever TakeTwo service you use and whatever data you provide voluntarily or technically by using it. Thats fine by EU law.

moon,

Due to Steam’s tos updates a few months ago, isn’t take-two opening itself up to a massive lawsuit?

SaharaMaleikuhm,

No idea, but I think it would be funny, so I’m all for it and hope you are right.

Nephalis, (edited )

Hm… Ok. Thats crazy. Someone wants to create a new branch of income it seems.

Thats a fucking shame. Now I need to reconsider my plans to buy Borderlands4.

But how will they do it? Which information is gathered from which source? Most of my accounts only hold as little informations as possible. Also my Os knows nothing about me. My MS account neither.

On the other hand my steam 2FA need some mobile information.

Fiivemacs,

Checkout Jump Ship? It’s some weird borderlands, Star citizen, (insert other generic shooter) type game. Pretty neat, was recommended to me by a shooter fanatic friend of mine. I trust his shooting game opinion

store.steampowered.com/app/1757300/Jump_Ship/

topherclay,

oh cool, I can see that it’s similar Borderlands by the screenshots, and I can see that it’s like Star Citizen because it’s not actually released yet and they’re taking money for early access.

Fiivemacs,

Hah exactly :D

thermal_shock,

😂😂

Dagamant,

Unless you use Linux, your OS knows a ton about you. On top of that, with root access to your computer they can do whatever they want and if their system gets hacked you become a member of a bot farm or crypto mine.

Nephalis,

Well I use Linux, but not on my gaming pc. I would switch to it because its all amd, but I don’t want to because it lacks the driver suite for my gpu (adrenaline) and I don’t want to install a bunch of small applications to gain a small fraction of options it offers.

It’s a pitty. Because I realy want to ditch windows since its newest iteration.

wirelesswire, do gaming w Self insert power fantasy recommendations?

Last Epoch: Fun ARPG with a couple different female characters available. The buildcraft complexity strikes a sweet spot between Path of Exile and Diablo 4. You can definitely turn your brain off and kill enemies by the truckload.

Fallout 4: Along the lines of Skyrim, just swap fantasy with post-apocalyptic sci-fi. You can play as a girl, and see plenty of tiddies depending on mods (shoutout to the “A Storywealth” collection on Nexusmods).

Fallout 3 and New Vegas: see above, just older.

Wayfinder: fun RPG game with set characters, but a few are girls. Combat was fun IMO. This one started as a live service game, but after backlash and their publisher dropping them, the devs rebuilt the game as a pay-to-play game with an end.

Bayonetta: kill tons of baddies with over-the-top combat as a sexy witch.

Dynasty Warriors & other “musou” games: lumping these together, but girls to play and TONS of enemies to kill

Granblue Fantasy: Relink: plenty of girls to play as, and fun combat. Honestly, the biggest drawback to this one IMO is not enough content after you finish the campaign.

Saints Row 2, 3, 4: definitely self-indulgent trash, definitely boobs, still fun

ReplicantBatty,

I’d also recommend Saints Row 2 and 3. It starts off pretty normal but you get OP pretty fast to the point where you’re like an unstoppable force of nature, it becomes completely gratuitous and over the top. Pretty decent character customization as well.

Keegen, do games w The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

I finished my second playthrough of Drova - Forsaken Kin (wanted to see both of the camps + experience the new content added with the last patch) somewhat recently and it gave me the itch to go back and replay the first two games from the Gothic series. I’m already done with Night of the Raven and making my way through the first game now. Getting them to run smoothly on Linux was a bit of a process but other than that they still hold up incredibly well, at least in my incredibly biased view.

blomvik,

I am som enthralled by Drova, you should give the Myrtana: Archolos mod a try. Really liked it.

Keegen,

Worry not, I already played it long ago! I’m patiently and eagerly waiting for them to release the Mod of The Decade edition to re-play it again, I’ll definitely try the city guard path and I’m very excited to see what the teased water mage path will be.

It depends on your definition of “pretty” but in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup you get to slaughter countless hordes of critters to dragons. Go for a brain off Minotaur Berserker with an axe and shield and get killing! Go here if you need more character ideas: tavern.dcss.io/t/…/1057

I’ve spent so many hours building empires in that game. I even played to it on the Deck (docked) with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. :D

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Damn. Last December if I had played then that would have been my load out too lol. How does it run on the deck? I’m seriously considering installing it on mine to take it on the go

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

It ran great.
Obviously it is better to keep it to a medium to small sized galaxy for his tiny CPU to keep up during endgame, but I was very surprised how well it ran.

I should try one of my enormous galaxy endgame one day, to see how well it will manage 😆

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll have to set it up then. I probably won’t go larger than a medium galaxy so it should do well then. If I get back into fine tuning the performance for steam deck maybe I can get a good balance too

Is 4.0 out yet? One of my favorite games, but late game often gets unplayable

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I believe so! I’m like 90% sure I’ve seen the version number listed as 4.0. Along with a bunch of workshop mods saying it’s 4.0 compatible

you_are_dust, do games w The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Really good game but some of travel is rough. Fast travel is very limited. Good combat and I like the pawn system.

Justdaveisfine,

Its been awhile since I’ve played, but you should get a few Portcrystals around mid-game, and combined with the eternal ferrystone will help traveling around significantly.

you_are_dust,

I’ve only found two that were movable. I don’t know if I’m somehow missing them or something? I think I’m a decent way into the game. I’m at the point where you actually go into the castle and talk to the duke or whatever.

blomvik,

I think there’s 5 movable stones, and only one missable. But very few stationary ones. If it’s nagging you enough, there’s some mods, one gives infinite stamina outside combat.

And remember: Wolfs hunt in packs!

We’ve seen 3 phase boss battles. Maybe even 4.

Where’s the game with a 10-stage boss battle? I wanna yell “WHY WONT YOU JUST DIE?!” after he gets up for the 6th time in a row.

NigelFrobisher,

Nanomachines, son.

pastaq,

Whamp whamp What’s new pussycat…

DragonTypeWyvern,

I know I’ve played a JPRG where the final boss had six stages, but it also was annoying, not epic because I was overleveled and the game wasn’t hard in the first place

teft,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

World of Warcraft had some fights that had way too many phases. Illidan had 5 if i remember right.

@buggybug@sh.itjust.works avatar

maybe the 10 phase boss battle was us, the players all along. you die to a boss and you show up at their doorstep once more, while they are thinking “HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON”

Pnut,

What’s worse is you beat the absolute shit out of them and they usually get set on fire and stabbed several times . Just fine, apparently.
