Started the Lies of P: Overture DLC. Rough beginning, getting back into the groove, some bad enemies, that culminated in an absolutely terrible boss fight. Just complete garbage.
You’re stuck in a tiny arena, with a big ass monster, and a terrible camera. You constantly get shoved around, into the walls, clipping halfway into the boss, because of terrible hitboxes, just living life. Half the time I died and couldn’t even see my character, so I had no idea what my mistake was. Did I mistime my block? Or maybe the last block sent me reeling, and I couldn’t react in time? Or maybe I was just on the ground because the hit before that knocked me down? Nobody knows, not even the boss, because his face is inside the wall.
It’s been getting better since then, the next two bosses weren’t as bad, the second one might even be fun with a few tweaks, and the fourth (which I just beat last night) was actually pretty good. I hope it continues like this, and doesn’t go back to the atrocious start.
As much as I absolutely love Lies of P, I've been holding off since I've been hearing about a lot of bugs. Sounds like I maybe need to wait for another patch, unless the patch they released a week or two ago is the only one.
Performance felt a bit choppy at times (need to activate an FPS overlay again to check for drops), but otherwise no bugs as far as I could tell. It’s just that I think the first boss is terribly designed, and I don’t know if stuff like that would get fixed in a patch.
I am currently addicted to stardew, I am playing with my friend. She doesn’t own the game but thanks to steam family share, she can play with me through someone elses copy.
She does want her own copy and I am commenting for her because she doesn’t use Lemmy.
I actually have that game and have never even finished the tutorial. Would you recommend I just go blind or do I need to watch some How to video to get started?
You probably want to watch a “beginners guide” video or two. There are tons of amazing mods as well, but you probably want to just play vanilla first to learn the basics.
It can provide literally endless hours of entertainment. The game itself is a “story generator”, and every single game will be wildly different than the last, forever. That’s not even an exaggeration, it’s kind of ridiculous actually lol.
If you want to be very sad or maybe inspired, spiritfarer was excellent. The two Oris are great time sinks. Horizon Zero Dawn ran fine on my deck but chews battery life.
backlog gamepass would be hype. Like, this whole thing is shit and old game should probably cycle into the public domain; if a corp put work into keeping old games playable, how cool would that be?
Let’s plays can be okay for new games, but I’d look into emulating something on your phone. If you crave the pc experience (which I totally get), you can probably get an old laptop for very cheap, slap linux on it and have fun.
Quality mode, as I can’t see the difference between 30 and 60 fps. I think it’s one of these things that only connaisseurs can tell the difference, like for 99% of people Pepsi taste the same as coca cola but for the 1% that drink it daily there is a difference.
I’m sorry to hear that. Obviously we don’t know your situation but I just want to say that gaming doesn’t have to be expensive so hopefully you’re back to it sooner rather than later.
