PapstJL4U, do games w I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying.
@PapstJL4U@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe look out for single player games?

Diablo-likes are not good, when the design team thinks about retention and game time instead of accessibilty.

Stuff like Van Hellsing, Victor Vran and other AA release are not about the grind.

Insteaf of 120 hours of PoE you can have 30-40hrs of 3 to 4 different diablo-likes a d I will tell you the difference is greater then within PoE.

daddy32,

This. The stuff OP hates in the games is added as the “endgame content” for people planning on spending half their lifetime in the game. That kind of “content” is generally not added to single-player-first games like those you mentioned.

Remember when mandatory Bethesda account in Doom64 was “just a bug” and then Doom Eternal had it for real?

You can play something like dota with people on a very basic computer and okayish connection. You’ll always find matches too.

Selaco (Steam)

It’s technically still in early access, but damn I haven’t had that much fun with a boomer-shooter in a while. The level design is top-notch, the music slaps, and the AI is actually good at cornering you.

They’re working on the next two chapters, which you’ll get when they come out at no additional cost. Also, the OST is on Bandcamp.

Zahille7,

I don’t know why you got downvoted, because you answered the question. I don’t know if they’re planning on making any DLC, but as it is right now I’ve played for about 6 hours and just made it past the mall. This is all still in the first chapter, for those who didn’t know.

#4: No early access games, except for games that were in early access and hit v1.0 this year. Even if it’s a great game this year, odds are it’ll be a better game when it’s done, so I made this thread to call out games that are done.

Zahille7,

Fair enough. I didn’t read the whole post because it was an absolute wall of text.

I thought I did a fairly good job of segmenting it so that it wasn’t a wall, but maybe next time.

Faydaikin, do gaming w What are the scariest games you've played?
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Soma is definitely up there. It’s slowburn and not jumpscares. But when that shit hit, it hit hard.

Megaman_EXE,

I thought it was pretty good! There were definitely some tense moments for sure

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

But what type of spooky are you looking for?

Megaman_EXE,

Oh man, absolutely anything to make me feel dread or have me not knowing what to expect. Which is vague, I know. I feel like I’ve played so many horror games that they start to feel too gamey? If that makes any sense? It’s like I can predict when scares will happen or the gamey aspects sometimes don’t immerse me.

Oddly enough, subnautica really had me on my toes a few years back. Fatum Betula was an indie that also gave me some heeby jeebies but wasn’t exactly scary either.

I feel like I’ll probably need to crawl through dozens of indie titles or something. Or possibly go back to titles made prior to 2005. I’m also not caught up on recent games in the past couple of years, so maybe there’s something special I’ve missed.

But I’m also just curious to hear what made everyone else scared, too!

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Welp, as a tie-over I can recommend plowing through some of the stuff on Gamejolt.

There’s a few pretty good indie spookies for free. They aren’t too long, but have some pretty good concepts if nothing else.

But yeah, one tends to get a bit numb on horror after a while. It helps to take a break every now and then.

Megaman_EXE,

I don’t know if I’ve ever been on gamejolt before, thanks, I’ll take a look!

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I’m chasing that next scare. Something to wow me again, haha. I’m sure there’s gotta be something out there

warm, do games w Is overwatch 2 really that bad?

Nah, they took the fun out of it to sell skins.

rockerface, do games w Any good games that break the mold

Antichamber really stood out to me even among other puzzle games

Donjuanme,

I was ready to replay antichamber and make it one of the few games I did every puzzle in, then the ending happened and I put it down never to pick it up again. Why the heck did they change everything up in the last 2% of the game?

I much prefer recommending lingo these days.

Rai,

Superliminal is also a VERY good puzzle game that isn’t like others.

WereCat, do games w Does AAAA just mean awful triple A games now?

ViscloReader, do gaming w Higher difficulties in every single RPG.

Surprisingly, in COD (at least bo2 & 3) enemies get more and more “abilities” the higher you set the difficulty (this means, grenades, better accuracy, use of special equipment, higher burst rates)

LMagicalus, do games w Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before

Automachef is the most unique factory game I’ve ever played. You make factories to handle food orders, try to reuse as many parts as possible to save cost, figure out how to handle massive rush hour mobs without burning too much power or dropping orders, and so on.

Down the line, this game has its own coding language for controlling machines and handling orders. It’s got a puzzle campaign, and a whole contracts mode, all around a good time. You can make VERY tight factories, especially with late game tech.

sjmulder, do games w What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

Okami! Please, more!

cheers_queers, do gaming w I don't hate Body Type replacing Gender, I hate laziness

Starfield did this the right way, just as you are suggesting. it’s the only game I’ve seen so far that does it, but your character body exists on a wheel of buff, slender, thicker, etc. you can adjust every little part of this to get a truly unique character. i believe there were also at least 4 voice options. the rest of the game was meh, but maybe other games will start doing it that way. i think inclusion is still a very new concept in gaming, everyone is trying new things, and i appreciate the effort. it’ll get there.

HawlSera, (edited )

I definitely have to say, Body Type A/Body Type B definitely feels like a groan-worthy growing pain that will be ironed out sooner or later. It’s just disappointing that we have to resort to such awkward terms that mislead players about how much variety across the gender spectrum is actually being offered. It almost feels like a vegan menu that still heavily uses animal byprdouct.

This almost makes me want to buy Starfield to support a proper way to revamp gender selection, but it’s going to need the same amount of work that FO76 getting it from how it was at launch to the awesome experience it is now for me to dip my toes in that…

shattered space might be a perfect time to try it. that dlc is just 1 planet so it’ll most likely be made how previous bethesda games were

Trainguyrom,

The Sims 4 actually added a similar approach to character creation about 2 years ago, but very different kind of game with a very different market

Off the top of my head it has options for male presenting body type, female presenting body type, sliders for fat and muscle (and you can generally reshape most of the body) and the available clothing and hairstyles got sorted into masculine and feminine with I believe more traditionally gender neutral stuff getting placed into both, then for biological purposes there’s “can pee standing up/cannot pee standing up” and “can impregnate/can be impregnated” It defaults to Male/Female defaults but makes it easy to customize, and a good mix of default townies (NPCs) are all over the spectrum.

They also recently added more complex relationship and romance preferences, so sims can be sexually bi but romantically straight for example, but also expanded to allow various levels of openness to relationships as well as poly relationships

USNWoodwork, do games w Mafia: The Old Country will offer voice acting in Sicilian

TIL that Sicilian is a language that is separate from Italian?

Virkkunen,
@Virkkunen@fedia.io avatar

Never confuse an Italian with a Sicilian

computergeek125,

I hear it’s also bad to get into a battle of wits with a Sicilian - especially when death is on the line.

PeroBasta,

Its a dialect. But i assure you if a Sardinian, a Pugliese, a Siciliano and a Valdostano all speaks their dialect only, there won’t be any communication going
