Midnight Suns maybe, haven’t pulled the trigger yet

Albbi,

I’m the same. It’s sitting in my cart.

aStonedSanta,

The combat and deck building is fun as hell. The story and everything else can fuck off imo lol

MrBusiness,

Aye, funny seeing it as a jrpg. The downtime gameplay doesn’t really suit the rest of the game. Would have rather seen an XCOM setup with more cutscenes, but also I do love the Abbey itself that place is a dream home.

!Also my favorite team is probably blade,wolvie,morb. Itsa lotta bleed!<

AProfessional,

Just a heads up to those interested, it’s part of this months PS+ Extra too.

ABCDE, do games w What are y'all buying on the steam sale?

Likely nothing, maybe one title if it’s shorter and I’m done with Balatro for a while.

I can’t beat the goddamn black deck, I don’t know what’s wrong with me 😢

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I have managed to beat the black deck. Vagabond for a lot of death cards, shoot the moon to make those death cards queens, and an early triboulet led me to victory. I wish all fellow balatroers a pleasant evening and a lucky night

ABCDE,

I’ve done it on the Magic Deck; I do think it has a lot of luck involved at the higher stakes, sadly, it could definitely do with a bit of balance or engineering to make each run possible (as Slay the Spire always seems).

There is technically an unwinnable sts seed

simonced,

Broooo, that black deck is harder than the next stakes on other decks, it’s insane! I need to try again though, it unlocks a new deck and I want them haha

Blackmist, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

An actual boomer shooter would be like Space Invaders.

But at least it’s got a name I suppose so if you like them you can find them and differentiate them from all your online XP bar tutorial modern bullshit.

I just think of it like boom as in explosions. Boom-boom shooty-shoot; or boomer shooter if you prefer brevity.

Arkane Studios, for Dishonored, Prey, Dark Messiah, Deathloop.

Used to be Looking Glass Studios. And then Ion Storm. Do you see a pattern?

Grzmot, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

Boomer today is used for anything that’s old, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you get Gen Xers that get called boomers. Since boomer shooters are a homage to old shooters, we call them boomer shooter. The ultimate problem is that it’s just catchy, so unless you find a more catchy term, you’re shit outta luck.

I’ve been saying this forever too! Boomers were the ones complaining about thier kids playing them back in the day because of the violence and demonic imagery.

In the 90s people called them "Doom-like"s. I usually just say “90s FPS games”. Which I guess could be confusing and make people think I’m talking about framerate, but eh.

Renacles, do games w Best sidequests in the Fallout games?

Wasteland survival guide and the mechanist quest are some of my favorites but Fallout 3 has fantastic side quests in general.

Fallout 2, 3 and New Vegas are basically a pile of side quests with an optional main story.

bionicjoey,

Wasteland Survival Guide combined with the evil ending for the Megaton bomb quest is one of my favourite bits in Fallout 3.

I get that the term doesn’t line up age wise with actually Boomers in terms of calendar years, but also video game generations are shorter than social generations. We’re currently on the “ninth-generation” of video games, and Doom came out at the beginning of the third generation of video games. So you could consider Doom-likes to be 6 generations old, and baby-boomers to be 4 generations old. So in terms of “generations”, Boomer shooters should maybe be named after an older generation such as the “Greatest Generation” (6 generations ago). Therefore I propose we call Doom-likes “Greatest Shooters” instead of “Boomer shooters”.

Oh, I’m liking this take. Get ready for “Z Shooters” and “Alpha Shooters”.

frog, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 10th

Playing Subnautica this week. Having the slight problem that I find all the small fish so adorable that I feel bad about cooking and eating them. It’s also worth noting that I have thalassophobia, which is impeding progress a little because underwater caves are scary, deep water is scary, not being able to see the bottom is scary, and not being able to see the surface is scary.

Skua,

As a fellow scared-of-the-ocean-ist, I actually feel like it kinda adds to Subnautica. The game is meant to have some horror. We just get a bit extra

frog,

Yeah, it’s definitely more of a horror game if a lot of the setting fills you with primal dread! I’m definitely enjoying it, just… only in small doses.

DmMacniel, do gaming w GTA Online - What is this green tractor?

It looks like a tractor… that is green?

frosty99c, do gaming w What are some games that too few people have played?

Bastion

Albbi,

Such a good game. Those guys are my favourite developers.

mathematicalMagpie,

I recall Bastion winning GoTY from some major publications.

etchinghillside, do games w Physical or Digital?

Does a disc even matter these days? There’s still a 100gb patch and likely internet connection required?

llii,

Yes. You can resell discs.

etchinghillside, do games w What does getting "delisted" off Steam means for games I already own?

I still have Rocket League and might expect the same behavior. It just won’t be sold or appear in search.
