orenj, do games w What are the best free mmorpgs for a beginner?
@orenj@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Warframe is an unconventional mmo, and there’s actually a bit of rpg in there too, moreso than I would’ve expected coming in. It’s great fun though.

I will say the mandatory trading for weapon and frame slots is kinda annoying, but gets less annoying as you progress and get more access to better grinds.

Also not good if you get RSI, damn that game destroys fingers.

oh fuck i forgot about that. I had to stop playing atlas altogether because his 1 spam was brutal.

A simple and earnest request to all Warframe players. Please Change. Your. Keybindings.

Damn near broke my pinky from pressing ctrl for bullet jumping. Had to change movement keys to ESDF and ctrl key to A.

Dont actually like playing frames where only 1 ability was viable, but I knew some who did. They’d bind that particular ability to the mouse wheel.

Right.

Toes, do gaming w Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?

You should be able to select “GE-Proton(Latest)” as your runner in Lutris. But if its missing for some reason, github.com/gloriouseggroll/proton-ge-custom

I haven’t noticed any major issues between using Lutris and Steam for the games I play.

Lutris is definitely the strongest contender, and is mostly based on the same compatibility technology.

Meh, I like Heroic better personally. It’s a preference thing at this point between the two of em IMO

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, Heroic is good but sadly it only supports gog and epic. Not everything is from those stores, sadly. Whereas Lutris supports a lot more sources.

entropicdrift,
!deleted5697 avatar

It supports GoG, Epic, and Amazon, but it also supports installing games manually, which has worked for literally everything else for me so far.

I used to use Lutris, but in the last year or so Heroic got so good I stopped ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SweetCitrusBuzz,

Ah, okay, thanks for the correction!

Yeah, it’s been at least five years since I tried Lutris last time. It’s probably matured alongside Proton. Honestly I started moving all my non-Linux games over to Linux after getting a Steam deck and seeing how well the games worked without tinkering.

I don’t mind leaving my Steam games in Steam but I would like to run some of my Windows titles e.g. GOG titles, Guild Wars without relying on the Steam network being up. Is Heroic the way to go?

swab148,

If Heroic doesn’t work, Bottles is usually my go-to for GOG games.

ampersandrew, do games w The EU initiative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!!
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

About my lowest threshold for success is that this at least makes disclosures about what you’re buying more prominent and restricts the ability for software licenses to just alter the deal and pray that they don’t alter them further. Even better disclosures would make the raw deal you’re getting become more poisonous before the point of sale. Especially as an American, I’m going to have wait a few years after any legislation goes through before I can trust online multiplayer games again.

@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

I just feel bad for a lot of kids because maybe their phone or tablet has the game they want but often they are playing using just the touchscreen and that interface sucks for anything that requires joystick or button controls (where the touchscreen just has vague areas with pretend joysticks and buttons).

It just does.

I get that kids get used to it, but it’s like getting used to being kicked in the nuts when you have the option of not being kicked in the nuts.

gegil, do games w A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

For me it was war thunder. Seen this game advertised on youtube a while ago, and about year ago i decided to just install it and see what this game is. Firstly i liked it. It was fun game to play. After some time of playing this game, i wanted to see videos of this game on youtube, and thats where i found a lot of criticizm for this game. Only after hitting about 60 hours of total playtime, i started understanding the hate for this game myself. I did not played war thunder ever since. For context, the main reason for hate to this game is that it is too grindy, and it will take hundreds of hours to reach top tier, even with premium account.

Saleh,

I remember having a lot of fun in the first two or three tiers of war thunder. But then the higher tiers hit, everything gets way too fast and you have to deal with too many sweaters.

RisingSwell,

Can confirm, several hundred hours in and I have like, 3 usable jets with missiles. And I deliberately rushed the shortest tech line to get them faster. And Im basically permanent premium.

How the fuck is a free player meant to do it

augustus672,

That’s the neat part, you aren’t! Gaijin 100% expects you to pay to get to top tier.

frenchfryenjoyer,
@frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world avatar

it’s very pay to win. it feels good to play at first then your progress stagnates to the point of frustration and paying players get put in the same matches as non paying players. paying players get access to entirely new planes and upgrades and they always kill me soon after i spawn.

Lv_InSaNe_vL,

I just wish they would fix bombers somehow. I wish I could fly my B-17 or B-29 and actually drop bombs.

All I want is high altitude carpet bombing, I know everyone else thinks it’s boring but it’s what I want 😭

AlexanderTheDead, do games w PC Gaming’s Mascot Squad—who makes the cut?

As a pc gamer, I disagree with the premise. PC gaming doesn’t have a mascot squad because PC Gaming isn’t a monolith, whereas Nintendo (or Xbox or Playstation) is.

You want THE PC gaming mascot? It’s Steve from Minecraft. No other character, not even Doom Guy, comes even remotely close.

    Coelacanth, do games w Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind?
    @Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

    I played it obsessively for a solid month or so following its release. One of the best puzzle games ever and still a GOTY contender for me.

    I know some people didn’t like the RNG, but for me it never became a real big problem. You get some control over the randomness eventually, and I also just found the drafting part of the game enjoyable in itself.

    Piecing together the story and the world building bit by bit and uncovering the mystery was also super enjoyable. It’s one of the most rewarding games ever for note-takers. So much so that keeping physical notes in a journal was like half my enjoyment.

    SilverShark,

    I did find a few ways to control the randomness, but I’m wondering if there are many more? I basically got:

    spoilerThe Coat Check where you can leave an item, and I think the well at the entrance of the mansion where you can drop a coin per day which increases your… luck or something?

    Coelacanth,
    @Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

    There are several more. Some examples (light spoilers):

    spoilerPick any room upgrades that give you extra dice. There are also two items that let you reroll, though they aren’t the easiest to acquire (but can be Coat Checked!). I also recommend looking into the Sheet Music puzzle.

    There are some other ways to reroll or affect RNG, but I don’t know how to hint at them without spoiling too much.

    SilverShark,

    spoilerOh I think I’ve seen something about sheet music but have no idea about. The dice and such are indeed practical.

    Thanks!

    grrgyle,

    Excellent horror level, with great resource starvation that forces you to use the gravity gun. Also introduces the poison headcrabs I think? Either way, uses them really really well. Like that part at the end where they’re all creeping around an abandoned mine? 👨‍🍳

    I remember those prices. I was there, when we went past a dollar and the gas station attendant was pissed saying, “we’ll never see it under a dollar ever again”, and he was right.

    MolecularCactus1324,

    I remember when it went past $2 because I worked at a gas station at the time and all the patrons were pissed. This was before pay at the pump, so people would come in to the register and pay cash mostly. They would also bitch and moan. Yeah - sorry it isn’t my fault. I was making minimum wage and had my first car. I wasn’t too happy either.

    surewhynotlem,

    Minimum wage? I bet it was stupidly low back then. Probably like $7.25

    another player to try an compete with Steam

    Here is the mistake. It does not trying to compete. It only tries to catch as many fish in its bucket as possible, while leveraging (burning) Fortnite money.

    It’s a wasted effort, and it will never come close to Steam like this. It may even die along with Fortnite, or degrade further.
