Oneeightnine, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 27th

Trying not to commit to anything too strenious with Lies of P and Starfield on the horizon, but I have found the time to start two games over the last few days. Those games are:

XCOM: Chimera Squad

It’s an XCOM game. I’ll probably play a it until I inevitably make a mess of the base management stuff and find my city in ruins, you know, like every other XCOM game that’s come out over the last decade.

The Life And Sufferings of Sir Brante

I started this today and I’m kind of blown away by it in all honesty. It’s a story heavy RPG where you play the role a child born into a semi-noble family. During the game you’ll do an awful lot of reading and then make decisions and judgements based on the character your playing. I’m maybe 2 hours in so far and it’s unlike anything I’ve ever played.

Limeaide,

are you going to buy starfield at launch?

I’m not a massive Bethesda fan, but I’ve absolutely got the preload done on my series X. Gamepass is perfect for that sort of thing.

AnEilifintChorcra, do piracy w How can I use yuzu If I don't have a switch in the first place?

Fitgirl also has some repacks of popular ones and I’ve personally had good experiences with stuff from Sineater213

Have you tried searching for them?

Devjavu, do piracy w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?

Some possible issues are:

It could be a honeypot. While this likely won’t be the case, if you connect to a website and download directly from there, depending on your browser and os, general privavy and anonymity, they might be able to fingerprint you. Check against some other databases from sites that you visited today that have your real name and you’re bust. Unlikely, but possible.

If the website gets shut down because of suspicion of malicious activity and they intentified visitors, again, through a fingerprint or similar, it’s beasically the same as a honeypot.

So basically, the complexity of modern web browsing is the general issue. How do you circumvent this? Ideally you don’t. Just use a torrent with a p2p VPN in a secure and anonymous manner and you don’t even have to worry about your Javascript canvas.

You lay out a highly sophisticated attack when it’s simple to adjust the downloaded software to call home. Why would anyone invest that much into something like that (you left out where “some other databases” would be and how reliable they would be) when there are much simpler and more reliable approaches?

Devjavu,

I gave examples you twat

HumbleFlamingo, do gaming w Need some local coop recommendations

Here’s my goto search engine for coop games: www.co-optimus.com/games.php

Just heads up the ‘review score’ is trash. Not enough users review, so it’s easy for people to review bomb because they personally have a grudge or something.

AttackBunny, do gaming w Beautiful games?

Ghost of Tsushima for sure. I didn’t see anyone else mention it, which is a big surprise to me.

I really liked the look of Stray and Biomutant too, but they are a bit more on the cartoon side

JustARegularNerd, do gaming w Beautiful games?

Half Life 2: Episode 2. Especially the Citadel with the portal storm, White Forest itself, just so immersive.

megapenguinx, do gaming w [PS4] What are some other games with both social and other gameplay, ala Persona and Stardew Valley?
@megapenguinx@reddthat.com avatar

Fire Emblem has relationships you can maintain, as do Mass Effect/Dragon Age though to a somewhat less gameplay impacting scope

ScaredDuck, do piracy w How can I find my schools Adobe Premiere/Photoshop Elements 2020 key?

I know this is a piracy board, but please don’t steal from your school and just get a cracked copy if you need it.

FireTower, do games w Best games to improve language fluency
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Play the games you know. If you know when a character is supposed to say “Get to the helicopter now we are leaving!” When you hear them say “Kommen Sie zum Helikopter, jetzt fahren wir los.” you’re more likely to have that 10-20% you wouldn’t otherwise understand click.in your head.

Also I recommend any games set in a region where the language you want to learn is set. This is because all the signs will be in that language.

Vaggumon, do piracy w Is it wrong to pirate movies I've purchased digitally and load onto my Plex server?
@Vaggumon@lemm.ee avatar

Asking if pirating something is wrong in a pro pirating group…

adonkeystomple,

Fair lol

giant_smeeg,

Its wrong they bought it in the first place…

Kolanaki, do gaming w What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?
!deleted6508 avatar

So many I can’t even narrow down a specific one. Many new titles have tutorials that go over generic bullshit like how to move and aim and then don’t tell you how to do anything that’s actually unique to the game itself. I hate that shit.

Really hate having a tutorial objective of “put the goober in the jibjab” but then it doesn’t explain what the fuck either of those things are, and it’s not obvious by just looking at the situation.

Oh, The Ascent did this. Tells you to hack something early on; does not tell you how this is achieved. Everything up to that point was walk up to thing and press A/X. To hack you have to HOLD A/X. But it doesn’t say that. I had to look it up online. Which is stupid.

Dark Souls also. But… It’s hard to be mad at that one, since being vague is literally purposeful game design with those. 🤷🏻‍♂️

AMillionMonkeys, do games w I am LOVING Baldurs Gate 3
@AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not sure if I’m enjoying it yet. I’m only 4 hours in and it feels like Divinity Original Sin 3 and not a Baldur’s Gate game. Maybe that’s fine, but it’s not what I was expecting.
The combat seems more complicated and I’m having to rest after even basic encounters, but I guess that’s the way BG1 was too.
Still messing with the graphics settings to get it to look decent and run ~60FPS on my creaky old Vega 56.

Evrala,

I’m 65 hours in, I’m on act 1.

@Amir@lemmy.ml avatar

The combat becomes much better when you gain some levels. Early you only have few spell slots and cool bonus actions. I can assure you it gets better the longer you keep going, especially if you loot all the usable consumables (scrolls, arrows, etc)

SaddlerFan, do gaming w Doing things in games because it simple felt good.
@SaddlerFan@feddit.de avatar

Drive all around the map in GTA V’s multiplayer (invite only session, of course) when the weather is nice. Or just walk around the city. Browsing tattoos or clothes etc. Just doing ordinary things instead of riding around on a flying motorcycle and whatnot.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

I kinda hate that I am targeted because what I have fun doing in GTA5 is stunting with the Oppressor Mk1. People see it on the map and immediately start trying to fuck with me when I’m just in the mountains doing flips and ignoring everyone. :/

I don’t even have the guns unlocked for it!

espiritu_p, do gaming w What are some open source games you can recommend for Linux?

I haven't seen OpenTTD mentioned yet: https://www.openttd.org/
If you like it you may also check out OpenRCT - although this one needs original game files from RollerCoasterTycoon (a few bucks on Gog or Steam)
