SinningStromgald, do gaming w Watching my integrity slip away after having to backtrack once.

I almost never fast traveled when I played Skyrim. To busy exploring every random cave and building along with climbing random mountains because why not.

I didn’t fast travel except all the treks to and from High Hrothgar. That got old quickly.

SinningStromgald,

Pretty sure I went there once in all the time I played Skyrim.

First to meet the Greybeards

After the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller

The Civil War meeting

That’s just off the top of my head having not played Skyrim in yonks

I tried that and gave up after being attacked by five bears within the same quarter mile stretch of road.

MrShankles,

The mountains I managed to clip my way up… I spent way too much time doing that. Climbed the “Throat of the World” before I got the shout that would clear the wind barriers—because why not lol

Redacted, do gaming w What's going on over at dwarf fortress?

Ah the fish wrestling game

5190tent, do games w What are some lower size games that work well on linux handhelds?

One of the smallest games in terms of disc space is Animal Well with under 40mb.

Suck_on_my_Presence,

And it’s a great game at that

GottaHaveFaith,

Really??? Watching the trailer I thought it would be at least 1-2 GB

ieatpwns,

That dev is a magician

prole,

Was going to say Animal Well. Amazing game

Unrealistic loot.

Like when you kill a wolf and get shotgun shells as loot.

But also more subtle stuff like enemies in a remote place that don’t carry or have any kind of food and drink with them.

And when the enemy is clearly carrying a weapon, but it’s not lootable and you get some random stuff instead.

ArsonButCute,

I think shotgun slugs would be good loot from a werewolf, but they should be a junk item or a crafting item to combine with gunpowder and casings to make new ammo, not ready to use shells that’s just silly why does a werewolf have those?

Devial,

Reminds of the old pile of gold (empty) meme

Vupware,

In Hades II, there is a zone which has sentient gold bag enemies and flood littered with gold. Neither of these things provide you gold apart from standard drop rates.

Blahnominous, do games w Gaming Pet Peeves

Only having one master audio slider. Please at least give me one for music, voice, and sound effect mixing separately.

almost1337, do gaming w Look how much I'd need to purchase a fraction of their game time!

It’s too bad there are no private servers like Turtle, Ascension, or Epoch. It would really suck to be able to play an enhanced version of classic wow for free.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Yep. What an absolute shame that they don’t exist…

catalyst, do games w What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?
@catalyst@lemmy.world avatar

I would have swore there was a moment in Disco Elysium where a character makes fun of you for talking like you are trying to exhaust all the options in a dialog tree. But now I can’t find it. Anyone know?

@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

Don’t remember that dialogue, but the OP made me think of the Jamrock Shuffle (constantly running around town like a crazy person).

catalyst,
@catalyst@lemmy.world avatar

Yesss that was so good lol.

It’s possible I’m thinking of another game entirely on the other thing. Haha

leftzero, (edited )

Also a certain obsession with containers, if I recall correctly.

And at some point Kim mentions the detective’s surprising endurance (especially given his physical and mental state) which allows him to keep running tirelessly all over the place.

Spoilers about the later.Turns out Harry was a gim teacher before being a cop, and still has some good health from that time, despite everything that he did to himself after.

Famko,

That was during the dream sequence at the end, no? You can even correct the character saying that they’re not lists, but trees or something like that.

TL;DR: Fascists fucking over (mostly) fascists. How about we sit back, watch, learn and switch to alternatives (Luanti), or at least offline/cracked Minecraft?

mcforest, do games w Why would I buy this?

Maybe because there are still people who are not tired of Call of Duty, liked the predecessor and are still looking forward for a sequel and play it with their friends?

Oh wait, this isn’t even the newest CoD? Probably they just forgot to update the prices. Probably forgot it even exists because there is a new one.

snooggums,

Didn't forget, they just want full price forever.

mushroommunk,

Nintendo Intensifies

warm,

They dont want people buying the old games, even their 15 year old ones are still full price on purpose. They want you in the latest game each year, exposed to all the predatory extra-transactions, then they want you to do that again the next year and the next and the next... the games are not priced like that because they "forgot", it's a business strategy.

Nefara, (edited ) do games w Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response)

Probably April Ryan from the Longest Journey. She was clever, empathetic, funny, and grounded. She certainly had more than enough opportunity to get annoying over the many, many hours it takes to play that game but I found myself reading the journal that served as a story tracker just to see what she had to say about events. I genuinely missed her during Dreamfall. Though I had a few other favorite games with female protagonists that I loved (like Rynn from Drakan, Cate Archer in No One Lives Forever), it says something that decades later I still remember April’s name, and her major character traits.

nuko147, do games w I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies
@nuko147@lemmy.world avatar

I am just ignoring them. Not playing their games even pirated.

Played the demo of Prince of Persia last year, totally liked it, price was good, saw the Ubisoft Logo (CEO tells that you don’t get to own your games, AAA games priced 70-130 €, anti consumer practices), never bought that game never played it.

Nintendo also took a red card this year from me, not another penny from my wallet.

Bonus i put in my Steam ignore list all the games that come out with price >60 €, so i wont make a mistake and buy them even on a huge sale.

I buy indie games and only AAA games full priced like BG3, Expedition 33, Elden Ring, etc… , games that they worth it and they don’t bloat you with stupid stuff. And also their companies respect the players.

TheOakTree,

BG3, E33, ER, all amazing games that don’t add live service junk, don’t require online connections, and respect the art of video games. They are all worth their price and then some, to me.

Review embargo for hades 2 also dropped. What a month it’s been for gaming, between Silksong, Silent Hill f, Hades 2, and a couple of other big name titles releasing within a very short time frame

mesamunefire,
@mesamunefire@piefed.social avatar

Hades 2 is a really fun game. Ive played it heavily on early access and even if they didnt change anything, it would still be solid. That being said, and actual ending will make this game one of the best in the year for me.

Brownboy13,

Yes please, the first thing I tried after every update and I got disappointed every time :(

Katana314,

Don’t forget Baby Steps.

stephen, do games w I'm playing Gears of War Reloaded, and I have a question. Will there be some point when the Chainsaw I've had for hours actually gets explained to me?

Hahaha here I thought I’d just missed something in the beginning of the game. Turns out the game just doesn’t bother to teach its players how to play it.

RampantParanoia2365, (edited )

I mean, I’m pretty sure. I guess maybe there may have been a pop-up message I never noticed, but Dom explaining these new guns with friggin chainsaws on them, like, with his words, woulda been nice. I did figure out it’s O or B eventually, but I keep running up to people, pressing the button while he fails to start it, or lock on, then get blasted.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

This may have been a game that came out at the tail end of the instructional manual era, and missing a mechanic like this in the tutorial area would have been an oversight that they could live with.

CrayonDevourer,

It’s so weird that players these days don’t press buttons and figure shit out on their own…do you really need a tutorial for a basic weapon?

stephen,

The game begins with a tutorial.

Why would I be remiss to be confused as to why there is a tutorial, but not include any mention of the existence, let alone the use, of a basic weapon?

Further, yes, I expect all products to tell me about their features.

mohab, (edited )

Damn, you should steer clear of Japanese action games then.

Further, yes, I expect all products to tell me about their features.

Oh, really? I should get my money back from 20th Century Fox… they didn't tell me Fight Club had the twist feature at the end. Thank you for pointing that out.

I cannot believe I had to discover it myself as I was watching the movie. Bizarre stuff.

CrayonDevourer,

Games should allow you to discover their features, they shouldn’t be telling you directly. That’s the cool part of figuring out a new combo in Mortal Kombat, etc.

They don’t give you a clippy tooltip that says “Press Up Up Down B A Down Down to rip this bitches head off!” – You figure out the combos on your own, or with friends.

This idea of every little thing having to be presented DIRECTLY to the user is laziness. There are ways to help a user discover things narratively.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Its a generational mindset. Because, remember, the game this is “reloading” came out in the late 00s

Back then? The idea was to teach you what is actually new in a given game. So the cover system, more or less. Shooting, aiming, and melee’ing were more or less bog standard by that point and players were mostly expected to understand it used the same controls as every other game or to take a quick visit to the controls page in the menu to see what the jump button was.

I forget if Gears actually teaches you the melee button or not. I want to say tapping melee is a rifle butt and you have to hold to chainsword? Which also lines up with games of the time. The charge and hold is mostly a humiliation kill you save for multiplayer and sizzle reels.

So to use… probably equally old nomenclature: it would be like teaching people how to do a no scope 360 during the tutorial.

mohab,

Capitalism + hyper consumerism. No time or patience to play around and discover. Gotta wrap up ASAP and move on to the next game.

That backlog isn't gonna play itself.

RampantParanoia2365,

Yes, amongst fights when I thought about it I tried and figured out the button. Then he wasn’t really locking on easily, and sometimes he just like, can’t start it after rolling or something, and then I get blasted. A few times doing that, and I got pissed and made this because everyone’s carrying the damn thing and I was just in prison. Why the holy fuck has no one daned to mention the goddamn chainsaw on everyone’s gun? So, really this is just a rant about design.
