Coelacanth, do games w Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package?
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

How powerful is the PC? Is the question more about games optimised for mouse+keyboard, or is it about demanding recent games that allows his new machine to flex its muscles?

Since you say he likes Souls-likes Black Myth Wukong probably checks both boxes - I never ended up playing it (my backlog is too long) but it looked great with stunning visuals and I heard good things about the gameplay.

Cyberpunk with full path tracing is still one of the prettiest games out there and a pretty damn good game too after the patches and expansions.

Finally, something like Fallout: London could be an interesting suggestion as mods of that nature are out of reach of the console crowd. Could give him a whiff of what he’s been missing out on.

Is biking also implemented? Unrelated: Standard kommt nicht von Standarte ;)

It’s kinda supported - if you have your phone in your pocket you do get some steps, but it’s not as efficient as walking.

I’m Finnish myself and my German skills aren’t that great :D The translations for the game are made by the community, you can help correcting errors at translate.walkscape.app (the tool is currently hosted on a very underspecced server so it’s laggy, we’ll be moving it to a beefier one soon)

Edit: Well this was sooner than I thought, I’ve moved it to another server and should be very usable now.

isaaclyman,

+1 for biking. I track my bike rides with Apple Health and it’s pretty solid, I don’t know if it would be hard to make those importable to the game.

schamppu,

When it comes to tracking, smart watch support is the most frequently asked addition and biking is the second. We will definitely add biking after smart watch support, as long as we find a viable way to do that. Biking relies quite heavily on GPS data which we don’t want to deal with, so we would likely be using Apple Health and on Android some specific apps to pull that data from.

Hey! I almost forgot about this when I left Reddit. I was so excited to see it come to fruition some day. I’d love to beta test but I’ve moved to an office job since then so I probably won’t be able to help much.

Loved the game when I first started, now I’m feeling stuck. I need to watch the tutorial videos!

walkscape,

Eric from the community (and a bunch of others) have been making some videos on how to get started. One I’d recommend for beginners is the Ultimate Beginners Guide video.

Also, if you feel stuck you can try wiki.walkscape.app and map.walkscape.app

Thank you so much! When we get the quest system into the game, giving some direction to the players will be much easier.

It’s great.

caut_R,

Game was hard for me to get into but once it clicked, it was awesome

Artyom,

An excellent choice, and the sequel is also great, although the gameplay is very different.

9point6,

Where have I seen this before, and does it involve Mario Kart?

Kovukono,

Closest thing I could think of with Mario Kart (Raccoon City is at the end).

9point6,

Yes this is exactly what I was thinking of, thanks!

nesc, do games w What MMORPG are you playing, and why?

Every year I return to play GW2 for 2-3 month it’s always a blast. It would have been better if I had enough tine to play it constantly but. I love how fluid the combat is, I love how different classes are, I love the worldbuilding.

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

It depends. When done correctly it can be fun, if all creatures/enemies are always scaled to your level, no. Dragon monsters for example should always pose a challenge or some kind of monsters that are you mirror images/copies, that type of thing. Maybe it’s your rival or someone that has far more experience then you do, why wouldn’t their level also grow?

edinbruh, do gaming w The four horsemen of unmet financial expectations

That’s five…

qwerty,

Well, the last 2 are kinda the same thing.

slazer2au,

The last one doesn’t apply in all situations. If you don’t subscribe then you don’t have to accept the EULA.

lath, do games w What game surprised you with their length?

That Pathfinder Kingmaker was long as hell. Not sure i want to start the sequel until I’m good and ready for another pleasant slog.

mcforest,

I just finished it recently as well and also need an break until I start WotR.

TwoBeeSan,

Pleasant slog should be the tagline on every owlcat game.

Love them but they definitely love a long game and a fuck you puzzle here and there.

@HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone avatar

I still think owlcat is nuts for adapting not one, but two full APs to video game form. Those are each six books worth of TTRPG adventure and those can take years to complete

AgentGrimstone, do games w Do you have any recommendations for casual games?

Enter the Gungeon is another good bullet hell game. Slay the Spire if you like deck building. Both easy to pick up and stop.

ABCDE,

Balatro in addition to Slay the Spire, gaming crack (and game of the year).

smeg,

Gungeon is not casual though, one of the hardest games I’ve played!

Rai,

Hard as shit and also my favorite musical artist ever

I neglected to mention in the post that I’ve already reached out to the ICO. Appreciate you linking this here for others in the UK who have dealt with the same thing though

catloaf,

Good shit. My first reaction to posts like these are always “ok but did you actually do anything about it, or just whinge on social media?”

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

I suppose I did want to find out if it happened to other people ahead of reaching out, but it can take up to 15 weeks for a case to get looked at, so I figured I’d send it asap.

Tolstoy, do games w What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?
@Tolstoy@lemmy.world avatar

Not a favourite anymore but still beats my second most played games by a factor of 4… Warframe was fun at the beginning and really clicked at about 200hrs. I left after about 2200hrs because I burned out but it still has a place in my heart.

EvilBit, do games w Is a Quest 3 really worth it?

I will echo some of the other sentiments.

Meta sells a lot of their tech at a loss. You are not buying a VR headset with just your dollars. You are taking a huge kit of cameras and sensors hooked up to the world’s most advanced internet-connected telemetry and strapping it to your face. The data it gleans is how you’re covering a large portion, if not the majority, of the cost.

In my opinion, a PS5 and PSVR2 is the best way into VR for most people right now. I have that and a Valve Index and while the Index is awesome, it’s pretty dated and fiddly and while my computer runs it pretty well, catching up to more modern tech will cost me $2000 in upgrades and the fuss associated with building/upgrading/buying/migrating a PC.

I’m hoping Valve releases their rumored standalone headset sometime before the end of the world.

Katana314,

Much as I trust Sony more than Meta, part of the issue is that 80% of the cool stuff from VR comes from indie teams running an ItchIO page or Patreon, not established publishers.

Supposedly, PSVR2 can work with PC now but I don’t know how refined that integration is.

EvilBit,

I agree that there’s a ton of good stuff coming from the indie scene and also some amazing modding of existing games out there (check the Flat2VR discord - they just modded full VR support with motion controls into Silent Hill 2 Remake), but despite all the complaints about the PSVR2 library, there is more than enough gold in there to keep a lot of people entertained for a very long time, and some of it is truly AAA stuff. The headset itself is extremely well designed and easy to pick up and play, and the amount of tech you get is pretty nuts.

I’ve heard it’s pretty minimally supported on the PC because they’re kind of trying to get away with building half of a bridge (spoiler: it won’t work) but even without features like haptics and eye tracking, it’s a reasonable baseline headset. There may be some Bluetooth inconsistencies for some though, if I remember correctly.

quafeinum,
@quafeinum@lemmy.world avatar

The integration is ok and the psvr2 is quite nice with the oleds. I have the adapter and it works. BUT VR is an utter joke… specially on the ps5 itself. So unless you are a furry and really really really need that much vr porn then I’d wait another 5 years and spend that money on hooker and blow instead.
