Oh man. SimCity meets Lovecraft. This is a game I never knew I needed.

It‘s also on Steam in case others are wondering like me. Wishlisted there. Really cool theme, hope the gameplay can deliver too.

wccrawford, 5 miesięcy temu do pcgaming w Has anyone tried the stadia controller via Bluetooth on PC?

I tried it, found it had horrible latency, and threw it in a box.

I’ve been using the (wired) Gamesir T4 Kaleid on my desktop and loving it.

I’ve been using an XBox Elite (the one that worked, not the one I sent back because the trigger was broken) and it’s been okay, but the dead zones are much, much larger than the Kaleid. I looked at Gamesir’s wireless options, but wasn’t impressed with the reviews, so I haven’t tried any yet.

Baldurs gate is just so good. Constantly impressed and on my way to act 3!

The old Might & Magic games are very nice. Especially 4 and 5 that you can combine into an even bigger game with additional quests and an ultimate ending are awesome. And it should even run on your phone through ScummVM.

You mean Heroes of Might & Magic? I remember there were several closely named ones. Played the 3 so much :-)

bjoern_tantau, 5 miesięcy temu

No, just Might and Magic. Same universe but different genre. They were RPGs while the Heroes series was strategy.

Valmond, 5 miesięcy temu

Thanks, will check out the 4 :-) !

Finished The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles last week.

This may be heresy, but I think I enjoyed these two more than both of the other trilogies.

Maybe it’s the setting or characters or unique mechanics, I don’t know, but I fucking loved every minute of it.

I’ve fallen back into playing Celeste. I’ll never be great at this game, but when it’s going well it’s so freaking satisfying to play. Aiming to collect all the strawberries and have a crack at the B-side levels I didn’t complete the last go-around.

The last year 2023 was incredible (providing a lot of good games).

You’re missing out if you haven’t played balatro yet, goty quality game.

virku, 5 miesięcy temu

It’s the perfect game for the Switch!

jordanlund, 5 miesięcy temu

I’ll look into it!

willya, 5 miesięcy temu do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

Don’t a crazy amount come out towards the end of the year rather than the beginning? I’ve never really paid a whole lot of attention cuz I’m always playing old games.

jordanlund, 5 miesięcy temu

Starting in September, when college kids are supposed to be spending their money on tuition and books. ;)

We don’t have release dates for that window yet.

Panda, 5 miesięcy temu do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

Not sure about the upcoming months but I felt like 2024 started off with quite a few games coming out one after another, including Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Helldivers 2, Last Epoch and Dragon’s Dogma 2.

And Manor Lords is coming out this month as well.

Vordus, 5 miesięcy temu do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

The problem you’ve got is that the two lists that you’re looking at are ones with concrete release dates, and we’re currently in the period of the year where the release dates are the hardest to come by. Basically everyone’s either just started their fiscal Q1 and so have a completely clear slate, or like Microsoft have just started their Fiscal Q4 which means all they’ve got left on the slate are the delayed stragglers.

BurningnnTree, 5 miesięcy temu do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

I assume you’re talking specifically about upcoming games that haven’t been released yet? Yeah I can’t really think of anything coming up that I’m excited about. Currently the only games I’m looking forward to are Metroid Prime 4 (if it ever comes out) and the indie game Dreamsettler (the sequel to Hypnospace Outlaw)

ampersandrew, 5 miesięcy temu (edited 5 miesięcy temu) do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

No. As others have said, there’s just a lack of information about what’s coming out. Basically starting last year, companies got fed up with announcing release dates that they can’t meet, which has a tangible marketing expense on their side, among other problems. So now we basically only hear about games’ release dates when they’re imminent. This year, we’ve gotten:

• Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore
• Balatro
• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
• Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
• Penny’s Big Breakaway
• Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
• Tekken 8
• The Thaumaturge
• Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes

…and while it’s divisive, I quite liked Alone in the Dark.

We’ve got the likes of Palworld and Enshrouded in early access, with No Rest for the Wicked to join them shortly.

There are a couple of games from smaller developers and publishers I’ve got my eye on with likely or confirmed 2024 release dates. They may have a wide spread in quality when reviews hit, but some of them could be winners, especially since they’re in genres currently underrepresented by the wider market:

• Aero GPX
• Agent 64: Spies Never Die
• Big Boy Boxing
• Broken Roads
• Conscript
• Commandos: Origins
• Core Decay
• Fallen Aces
• Kingmakers
• Phantom Fury
• The Plucky Squire
• Streets of Rogue 2
• Tempest Rising
• Titan Quest II
• V Rising (1.0 release)
• Warside

Then some other noteworthy games that are likely going to be very good and have a real shot at releasing this year:

• Avowed
• Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
• Dragon Age: Dreadwolf
• Gears 6
• Hollow Knight: Silksong
• Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
• Judas
• Mina the Hollower
• The Rise of the Golden Idol

What this year doesn’t have, at least so far, is a clear front runner like Baldur’s Gate 3 or God of War, but there’s more than half of the year left.

Vordus, 5 miesięcy temu

The Elden Ring expansion straight up has a release date: June 21st 2024.

ampersandrew, 5 miesięcy temu

Yup, just made more sense to group it with the other high profile releases. I’m looking forward to that expansion, for sure.

Kolanaki, 5 miesięcy temu do astronomy w Fake Vs Counterfeit Eclipse Glasses. Did You Get Any?

Are pinhole glasses safe? Just a pinhole made between two pieces of cardboard? We made those when I was a kid, though we never got to see an eclipse.

nik282000, 5 miesięcy temu

You can use a pinhole to project an image of the sun onto a sheet of paper but not directly as glasses. Look up a ‘pinhole projector’ you can make a pretty good one with an Amazon box.

Karyoplasma, 5 miesięcy temu

In case this is not sarcasm: Do not use selfmade glasses to observe the eclipse. It will temporarily or even permanently blind you.

Edit: I misunderstood. Pinhole projectors are safe. Just make sure you don’t accidentally look directly into the sun.

Kolanaki, 5 miesięcy temu

I can’t see it anyway from my part of the world :( I was just curious because it doesn’t seem like it would be safe, but it was literally taught to me in elementary school.
