AceFuzzLord, do games w Is it me or does it seem like review bombing on Steam has become so much worse recently?

I have not seem this happening because I don’t check reviews when 99% of the time the reviews are spammed with people giving the most useless review that tells you absolutely nothing and tries to be funny but falls flat immediately after posting or a bot wrote it and it’s the most factually inaccurate piece of shit you’ll ever hear.

I honestly wouldn’t be too opposed to Steam making reviews possible only after refund policy to prevent abuse. Really try and keep the trolls away and bots away, at least from paid games.

Absolutely. Also, I'd love to make it a rule that you can't start a review with:

"I really wanted to like this game but..."

Aww... Did you pumpkin? Are you SO disappointed that you don't get to like a thing you wanted to like? That must be so rough for you.
Anyone using that opener is immediately suspicious to me.

Luffy879, do gaming w Thought's on this month's Humble?

Atomic heart looks good, but it is just not enjoyable

System shock Remake is really good, its mostly just QoL changed, but again, you can get it for like 3€

Hotel renovator sim is just another one of these slop games

Otherwise I dont know anything else

After beating Deus Ex 1, there was a time where me and some friends would install a coop mod and instead of playing through the game normally, we’d pick a map, clear it and play proper hide and seek.

It was really fun since you could easily hide under objects like tables, the lighting system let you essentially become invisible in shadows, the maps had a fuck ton of all kinds of nooks and crannies meaning plenty of unexpected hiding spots, etc.

I have that one!!

Having read it many times, it did help me breeze through many of the 7th Guest puzzles.

Die4Ever,

That’s awesome. Are there any T7G/T11H/Clandestiny puzzles in there that I missed? Maybe even a The 13th Doll puzzle might be in there.

I play Minecraft to build incredibly dense, complex, automated farms and sorters. I love the new copper golems, but they’re actually worse than my usual redstone. I’m currently testing them as a flush system and redundant sorter for when server problems backup my main hopper loop or someone decides to toss fish in my system again.

Postmortal_Pop,

You’d think it wouldn’t be as bad as rotten flesh, but it’s worse.

My Animal Crossing island is pretty great as-is, so I’ll often just sit at my campfire to chill

Azzu,

I’m not sure chilling at your campfire, enjoying your island, is unintended gameplay there xD

Just the other day my buddy was telling me how he would play Warzone 2100 with friends and they’d just focus on base building. Combat was consensual and didn’t focus on destroying opponents’ bases.

Speaking of Pokemon, I’ve been playing one Pokemon challenge runs for a while and they’re fun. You modify the game to choose a specific mon as your starter, and from there on you can only use that mon in battle. If it faints, you reload. You also can’t use items in battle. You can have other mons for HMs to navigate the world, but otherwise you clear the elite four with one Pokemon. If it’s gen 2, you also beat Red.

My current record for Crystal is something like 11 hours in game time using Jolteon. Since it’s so grindy, playing it on an emulator at 4x speed makes it so you can literally complete a run in a single day depending on your starter.

Excel is meant to be used for virtual spaceship markets and industry tracking, but I keep hearing people are using it for real world companies.

Saganaki,

ProsperousUniverse I presume?

boonhet,

Ah no, Eve Online. But now you’ve given me something to check out. Curse you!

Saganaki,

Almost like I did it intentionally…

But seriously, try it out. It’s a great game. You can play free for about 6mo before hitting the free wall, but you’ll probably pay for PRO soon enough.

I like the devs because they don’t do auto-renewals.

toddestan,

Excel? The flight simulator? That Excel?

Back in the warcraft 3 days, i would always play either tower defence or hero defence, or hide and seek, anything but the RTS the game supposed to be.

Just remembered all the servers for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy that were dedicated to polite dueling. You had a big etiquette to follow if you wanted to do lightsaber battles. If you attacked someone with their lightsaber off you got banned instantly. Those servers were mostly used for chatting.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Those were basically the reason I played the game so much back in the day. The lightsaber combat was insanely good. I especially liked the ones that only allowed the Force Jump and Force Throw powers, so it was pure melee combat and not just throwing each other around or zapping a dude with lightning from across the arena.

I’m reminded of my daughter who used her Hulk puppet as a baby puppet. Kids will always find a way to play what they want.

She also didn’t care much for the story in Spider-Man or GTA but then again I think those games are designed with such players in mind.

Every time I think of some example I realise that it’s actually encouraged by the game. Like Creative Mode in Minecraft to just build stuff, playing Sim City without catastrophes, killing every NPC in an RPG.

My brother used to shoot me in the back in Doom co-op. But if PvP wasn’t intended it would be turned off.

My brother used to shoot me in the back in Doom co-op. But if PvP wasn’t intended it would be turned off.

Reminds me of playing Rainbow 6 on the N64. It had co-op, with no PvP but it had friendly fire so my friend and I would clear out all but one terrorist so the mission wouldn’t end, and then try to kill each other in a now mostly empty map. I once dodge his bullets because it was one the earliest games where your model would bend and move as you aimed, and my controls wonked out and made me look strsight up in the sky so my dude was bending over backwards as my friend shot over me lol

lath, do gaming w Games designed to be one thing, but are commonly played other than intended?

Because I’m bad at pvp but still find it fun at times, I tend to pick classes and abilities in the vein of traps, status effects and dots. I know i can’t beat them, so instead i try to annoy them.

Postmortal_Pop,

This is my go to. For a brief period of time I dominated in this free to play game called Loadout because the meta was for each player to dodge roll in a circle why trying to recover and spam automatic or sniper at the other before rolling again. Instead of all that I loaded in with a proximity mine bazooka and just shot my own feet every time I came out of a roll. They’d roll into the bombs trying to dodge me and I wasn’t trying to shoot them so I could dodge faster. Honestly the game was amazing, just too bad all the characters looked like a sexed up Dr nefario from dispicable me…

The sims, Skyrim, cyberpunk and many others all eventually evolved into. “Modding, the game” the moment i get to tweak a game so the details are just what i want i feel so satisfied i rarely play much after.

I promise myself i keep em ready for when i do want to play, but in reality that means a update got me interested again because now i gotta start modding all over again.

MojoMcJojo,

I spent months modding Skyrim to be as realistic as possible. Nutrition, calories, temperature, disease, frostbite, starvation, injuries, infection, no level scaling, dangerous combat, one life. Took a week to gather and prepare for a dungeon dive.

Frost Troll greeted me when I entered the dungeon. One swipe killed me.

That’s when I learned that the modding was the part I had the most fun with.
