Tibert, do gaming w Do you prefer playing with Keyboard or controller more, and for what type of games?

KBM. As I played on a keyboard and mouse since so long, I lost the usage of controllers. And whenever I have to use controlers, it’s a bit of a pain. So I don’t, as much as possible.

Tho in some games I tried, like elite dangerous, I had to use a controler for movement as on keyboard it was painfully slow, or too fast, but also just to be able to use most of the controls.

Hang out with a bunch of cool dudes, do some diving, make some sushi.

Sounds pretty ideal.

I’d look pretty out of place as an overweight 43 year old man playing in the Women’s World Cup.

MrGerrit,
hactar42,

I actually watched that again a few years ago when I started coaching my daughter’s soccer team. It honestly holds up fairly decently for a 90s movie dealing with gender. However, Rodney Dangerfield totally carried that movie himself.

    ampersandrew, do gaming w What's the most surprising facts about a game you've gleaned by reading a game's achievement/trophy acquisition percentage?
    @ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

    Bloodborne (PS4). Only 44.6% of players beat the first boss, Father Gascoigne

    He was the second boss for me. The first one I encountered was the Cleric Beast. Then I got so fed up with the frame rate after that I swore off the game, especially since I just found it to be Dark-Souls-but-less. Still, Gascoigne was a hard fight, so it's not surprising that the first major souls-esque game on PS4 had a huge dropoff at a difficulty spike.

    The one that always got me is that even predominantly multiplayer games have a very low participation rate in multiplayer. I've heard about 70/30 split from developers in most cases (and I've gotten a peak behind the curtain at a few other games where this trend continues to hold up, within a margin of error), where even if your game has a bad single player mode and focuses on multiplayer, only 30% of the player base will ever go online. I'll bet that's why these games stopped putting in achievements for "win one online multiplayer match", because it was astonishingly low. Far more people finished a single player story in Street Fighter V (which were awful) than those who went online to play multiplayer.

    OfficialThunderbolt,

    Multiplayer trophies are the worst, in general, except in multiplayer-only games. Once the servers go offline, those multiplayer trophies become unattainable. It’s especially a problem on PlayStation where, once the trophies become unattainable, so does the platinum.

    Oopsies. Thanks. Corrected.

    @aard@kyu.de avatar

    My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it’s riddled with ads.

    Did you ever consider using this as opportunity to educate your daughter about ads in general, how some games try to push adds to get you to do something, and also how some games have game mechanics trying to push you to do specific things, and then just let her figure out if those games are worth playing, or not?

    She’s definitely old enough - I had that discussion with my daughter when she was 5, we have an agreement that we limit the number of games installed on her phone - and the kind of shitty game you’re talking about typically gets uninstalled again pretty quickly.

    In a few years she’ll be able to install stuff by herself - if you never explained to her what and why games/apps are doing she’ll not be ready to deal with that, and it’ll be out of your control.

    sylverstream,

    Thanks for the insights. Totally agree with you. Yep, I’m having those conversations and she understands it more and more.

    Netflix offers free Android games with no ads too. If you have ad subscription it might work

    sylverstream,

    Sorry, no Netflix here. Thanks anyways.

    If you haven’t played it, try Mooncrash too! It’s a great side story to Prey.

    restingboredface,

    That will probably be my next purchase. I’m excited yo try it!

    Someone should take this project on as their first foray into game dev. Bonus points if it’s a middle-aged woman.

    @Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

    If you are okay with Vox Media Group, I’ve been pretty happy with Polygon. They even have RSS!

    mana,

    I think Mike Mahardy from Polygon is alright, but generally I find their content leans into social commentary more than I want in a gaming outlet. I respect that some people want that, and I’m glad these sites exist for them.

    I haven’t really noticed that…? But, maybe that’s just because whatever’s being said “agrees” with me or isn’t in the articles I choose to read from them (?)

    bighi,

    I’ve never seen any social commentary content from them. I haven’t watched everything they do, but can’t be that common if I haven’t seen it yet.

    LucyLastic, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

    1: An open world exploration game that doesn’t have combat … like Breath of the Wild but without all the fighting and with lots of short stories and puzzles.

    Basically I want to be able to go wandering off and uncover ancient ruins etc without having to fight for my life.

    2: Snowrunner, but with a good narrative story mode and gearboxes that actually work.

    There’s so much potential to have engaging stories in that game, which could be tied into improved game structure (namely restricting truck / tire choice to make some tasks challenging in an interesting way).

    Ultimatenab,

    For your #1 point, have you heard of Palia? It got released last month and it is a chill have where you gather and build your house. Additionally you can explore ruins to uncover your origins.

    JakenVeina,

    Give Outer Wilds a go.

    laxu,

    This fits OP’s description perfectly. Great game. It’s on PS+ if you play on Playstation 4 or 5.

    space,

    Wobbly life is like that. It’s targeted more towards children, but my kids absolutely love it.

    dom, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

    A few things come up for me.

    An rpg based on wheel or time or storm light archives

    Open world top down skyrim-like with combat more akin to ghost of tsushima than traditional 2d zeldas. (As in focus on bad guys, dodge roll, fluid combat)

    Modern single player carpg, similar to original forza horizon

    GrayBackgroundMusic,

    Storm light could work, but I think it’s more about the politics than the power sets. Idk maybe it’s gets more fantastic. I’m only on book 2.

    Mist born would also be a great universe and the powers are really adaptable into a game, IMO.

    dom,

    There are definitely adventures. But even the concept of the powers aligns well to a game. Wouldn’t need to follow thr narrative, but I dont think it would be bad if it did. Would have some cool cut scenes and missions
