FrostyCaveman, (edited ) do games w What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs?

I despised it in World of Warcraft, but I actually loved it in The Witcher 3. How I feel about it seems to be at least somewhat related to whether it’s a singleplayer game or multiplayer. But it’s more complicated than that - in TW3 without scaling enabled the whole game becomes piss easy even on Death March so it’s kinda required for me to even enjoy the gameplay at all. There are still many ways to gain relative character power that exceeds the level scaling that eventually you just WILL overpower everything regardless.

Unless it’s basically broken I will play games on the highest difficulty possible, because that’s just more fun to me. It makes each game an epic saga and something that can grip my (limited) free time for many many months. Which is good, because I have issues picking up and putting down fictional universes, I get a bit too attached. I don’t get super emotional about it, I just really don’t have the mental energy to deeply engage with something new unless I’m truly done with the last big thing. (I am also neuro-non-standard, I have heard of a term for this, “inertia”)

homicidalrobot,

CRPG doesn’t usually refer to MMOs or action rpgs. They’re referring to games that emulate a tabletop RPG but on a computer, which is where the C comes in. Generally they’re modeled after Dungeons and Dragons or similar systems, like Pathfinder.

FrostyCaveman,

Ah, I didn’t see the “c” in my sleep deprived state, whoops

Dunno, I hardly ever played it xD

…kidding, I like it but I tend to ignore the boring parts in games so bites me 🤷

Overcooked has couch co-op Right? I’ve been looking for a new game to play with my son. If it’s still available I’d be really grateful

Adalast, do games w What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs?

Consider me a psycho with a hot take, but I have always preferred games that mix the enemy difficulties around in a zone. Something like Ark where, sure, level 3 Dodos spawn on the starting beaches, but a level 70 Spino can spawn not far away and you have to be sure to skirt it lest you become a healthy snack. The steady progression of “zone difficulty” has always bugged me a bit because it is just so far off from realistic. Sure, close to a settlement there would be culling of particularly dangerous creatures, but some of them would still exist (if the settlement is being responsible). And yeah, as you get farther into the wilds those sorts of cullings would fall off rapidly, but to say that there would be areas where there are no easy monsters or no hard monsters, even in the wilds, is just not accurate.

Also, you get the same feeling of accomplishment, sometimes more, when you have died to hard monsters in starting areas a bunch of times then learned to skirt aggro properly, but then suddenly you come back after being out for a while and utterly decimate them. Just feels so good.

MelastSB,

It worked, thank you!

t3rmit3, do gaming w Far cry 5, where are the mods?

Ubisoft has never been a mod-friendly publisher, and none of their titles support modding to any extent that I’m aware of. The mods that exist for it are pretty limited in nature (i.e. they modify existing values and textures, and don’t really expand the game afaik). I like FarCry 2, 3, 5, New Dawn, and 6, but the series has definitely written itself into a corner. Removing the guns makes it not work (e.g. Primal), but they’ve literally ended their timeline with 5 and New Dawn, and 6 just makes it feel like they don’t know where to go and are doing offshoots. 6 felt more like Just Cause than Far Cry, to me.

squid_slime,

Thats fair I’ve heard good things for the first two Far Cry’s. Once I’ve played through the dlc of 5 I will probs go and check another entry in the franchise. What are you thoughts on Blood Dragon? And also cheers your informed response, it makes sense so few mods exist.

Megaman_EXE,

Far cry 2 had the best fire and foliage. It lives rent free in my head lol. Only downside was the constant patrols trying to mess you up.

discord.gg/farcry-modding-846424998888734731 this discord community it also has a website but there’s far more mods on here including all the ones that are on the website so this is the best place to link

edit: after looking there’s now a website where you can search through those discord mods but it still links back to the discord to download them mods.farcry.info but it might make browsing a bit easier

D4 bad. POE2 good.

reseller_pledge609,

Grim Dawn also good if you’re looking for something a little more old-school.

bassomitron,

Grim Dawn is fantastic! I can’t wait for the new expansion coming in a few months. I also heard they’re making a sequal after they finish their town building game which is coming out of EA soon.

no time to admire the view

Apparently everyone wants instant gratification and we need to be on to the next scripted moment, then the next one, and the next… No time to admire anything you see.

The best thing about Gamepass is all the non-AAA games that I wouldn’t normally get to play because there is a lot more variety in them.

XeroxCool,

I don’t have time to be rushed like that. If anyone needs me between now and January 3rd, I’ll be parked in the deserts of Far Cry 2 at night with my buggy ignoring whatever petty need you have to admire the dark serenity and distant zebra yelps.

Anytime I see someone bitching about the writing in Diablo I know they are just looking to be mad.

Diablos writing and story has been garbage and unimportant for 35 years. It’s a slot machine.

Diablo hasn’t changed since D2. It’s just gotten quicker to do hundreds of runs.

Probably a bit harsh in this post, op seems to mean it, but they clearly don’t represent the general audience.

_sideffect,

He’s not bitching, but it sounds like you are.

IsThisAnAI,

Diablo’s story is now entirely detached from its gameplay, the protag can see the villains cutscenes due to a plot device, no more clever writing to explain events after, you get rewards not from an NPC but from the menu from completing world events, and somehow there are localised areas of 100s of enemies just waiting for you to start a fight in a random spot on an open field, theres a GPS showing you the way to the next objective

Diablo 2’s story is also detached, it’s nothing new lol. I’d say Diablo 3 actually had the most protag focused story besides Diablo 1. In D4, all of the cutscenes at least involve main characters you regularly interact with.

Regardless, no one plays those games for the story. They’ve always been purely about gear grinding and demon/monster butchering. D4 is probably the most polished in the series, except for maybe D3, which was a very streamlined experience, for better or worse. I like all of the Diablo games, but I still think D2 and D3 are the most fun I’ve had playing with friends. Fun is always the most important aspect, and D4 was making strong strides to improving that aspect when I last played over the summer. Not sure if that’s still the case in the new expansion, but I figure I’ll try it out when the xpac is on a deep discount.

To w ogóle super ciekawy wybór mema, bo gość na tym obrazku sam się ochrania.

W sensie, wychodzi na to, że Musk sam się ochrania za pomocą Xittera. Używa Xittera jako tarczy, którą w pełni kontroluje. Co robi dużo sensu, jakby tak chwilę się zastanowić.

olafurp, do games w My recent experiences with big budget AAA after years of avoidance

I don’t play new games a lot because I don’t want a Ubisofted ARPG game where you’re just riding an open world rail with grinding sessions in between or a generic AAA shooter with crazy system requirements. Horizon Zero dawn was pleasant play though even though it had the Ubisoft formula because.

Elden Ring was great though and I’ve heard good things of Black Myth Wukong.

I just want to have fun and experience some new fun game mechanics or with some fun exploration element or with a gripping story. Indie games satisfy my itch very well.

I’ll play the next GTA since those are genuinely just a marvel of modern technology with a story and exploration elements.

I’m now always looking for a game that’s doesn’t require 30h of filler grinding to complete. It’s crazy but Magic Archery is free on Steam and I had more fun with it than some AAA games albeit very short.

It’s fascinating to connect free speech ideals with hair extensions! While Musk champions unfiltered expression, cheap professional hair extensions empower personal expression through style. Everyone deserves affordable options to feel confident. Like free speech, beauty should be accessible to all, reflecting individuality without barriers. Thoughts on balancing quality and cost?
