FunderPants, do gaming w Confused about the ending of Metro 2033

In the book I don’t believe they were nukes, just described as a pre-war missle silo. They fire 4 into the gardens, it’s pretty clear in the games that the gardens and surrounding area are the home of the dark ones, they live really right on top of humanity. I haven’t played last light tho so I’m not sure about anything else.

Sequel expands but doesn’t really change any of that stuff. To OP I would suggest playing the next one, it might answer some of the questions.

flak, (edited )

I think it was heavily implied to be nukes in the books but never explicitly stated.

The gardens were above a station that was abandoned though, so bombing it wouldn’t do as much as if it was right over an active station.

I mean, I hope you used protection.

min_fapper, do gaming w Need some local coop recommendations

If you liked “It takes two”, you should absolutely play “A way out”!

It’s from the same developer and has a similar emphasis on co-op.

knokelmaat,

I honestly preferred A Way Out. Way more jank and less polished, but just the perfect mix of humor, drama, sillyness and emotions. And so many epic and memorable scenes.

ISOmorph, do gaming w Beautiful games?

Sable. No fighting. Just exploring and getting immersed.

loops,

That ones on my wish-list already, now it’s on my actual wish-list in my head.

clarfgg,

Just a heads up the game kinda made my head hurt physically. The characters move at like 24-30fps while the background moves at a full 60 (or something >30, was not sure). It’s a stylistic choice which I can respect but I couldn’t get into it due to the stark difference in fps between the two which made it feel laggy.

Abzu has a few moments like that, especially towards the end where you’re swimming through more and more densely packed environments.

loops,

Thanks! The same publisher is working on Nivalis, I’ll definitely check that one out sometime.

And you can add -x to only download the audio.

PonyOfWar, (edited ) do gaming w What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros, because the tutorials never stop. Even 20 hours into the game, it will explain which button to press in exhausting detail every single time. Gave up the game due to this.

On the opposite side, ΔV: Rings of Saturn. The tutorial does a really bad job of explaining the (very unusual) controls of the game. Worse, you can accidentally leave the area during the tutorial, which cancels the tutorial altogether so you have to restart the game. That happened to me twice. Third time was the charm though, and I did enjoy the game afterwards.

storm_koala, do gaming w Doing things in games because it simple felt good.

Riding around in GTA San Andreas. Like taking a truck and making long trips while listening to K-DST radio.

K-DST formed many of my current favorite musical genres lol.

Chozo, do games w Am I allowed to use a VPN with Steam?

Valve only cares if you're setting your VPN to a different region to take advantage of differences in currency exchange rates. It used to be really popular to buy the version of a game released for random eastern European countries with poorer economies for a lot less than you'd spend in USD, until Valve started cracking down on that.

As long as any purchases you make from your account are done from the correct country for the content you're buying (and as long as the billing address on your credit card also matches the correct country), the VPN shouldn't set off any red flags or result in any bans.

HawlSera,

Cool, so the only thing I’d need to worry about is if I actually went into my Steam settings to change the region, not so much the VPN?

Chozo,

Yup, as long as all your Steam Store and payment method settings match the country you're buying from, you should be good. My roommate games on Steam from a VPN all the time and has had no issues in the several years that he's done that (though I don't believe he's using the VPN to change his location, just to hide his IP).

gravitas_deficiency, do games w Starfield has gone gold. Preload tomorrow on Xbox/Microsoft Store, and on the 30th on Steam (Bethesda on Twitter)

So, I’m excited for this game, but after being burned one too many times on preorders, I’ve made it a personal policy to refuse to engage any sort of preorder.

Not_Alec_Baldwin,

Hallelujah!

If a few million more of us do this maybe the industry will improve…

Do we know when the review embargo will be lifted?

Reva,

According to this article, they sent out the codes today and the embargo may lift on September 1st.

nutlink, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?

GOG. DRM-free support needs all the help it can get. I have nothing but respect for Steam, so it's my secondary choice. The only exception is if it's a game that's been out for a while and there's been discrepancies between GOG and Steam support (or a dev/publisher with a history of said issues), in which case I'll go with the one that's better supported.

Rheios, do gaming w What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?
@Rheios@ttrpg.network avatar

On top of some of the commentary here, I’d like to add that I think there’s a real chance that WoTC’s put some money behind getting it heavily reviewed/boosted, and so more articles about it and wider attention. That is not to undercut its quality, just that I think its layers of support. (I’ll admit there’s more than a little bit of my distrust of WoTC in that. Like after all their other scandals they need a win to try and suck newbies into the game after so much messing up. And I don’t even mean in the last year or something, their release quality for 5e has been abysmal for a long time.)

Additionally Larian played the early access thing very well. Not only did they listen to their ongoing players, and even netted some “tried it didn’t like it” people back, it gave time for everyone who was perhaps too into the older isometric BG1&2 titles (like me) to realize the game didn’t seem quite like it was for them and not pick it up. So you get clear, mostly good(if outdated) information out there for people to use in researching if they wanted to buy it, helping to avoid a lot of the knee-jerk hate that stuff like Fallout 4 and 76 got from misplaced expectations that could dull the release.
