My shit-flinging catapult flinging shit onto your house is a bug, it was meant to stay still, peacefully targeting it with a huge load of shit and never firing.

missingno, do gaming w Looking for a Tales-like RPG without active combat
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

So, you're looking for something like Tales, but not at all like Tales?

The only Tales-like that comes to mind is Summon Night Swordcraft Story, it's a successor to the classic 2D Tales games, but I'm not actually sure if that's what you're looking for.

I’ve never heard of this, so it is perfect as a recommendation! Because now I have something to look into :)

Snarwin,

Summon Night Swordcraft Story has active combat (that's what makes it Tales-like), so probably not what you're looking for here.

Indika (Steam, GOG, Epic, PS5, Xbox X/S)

Indika is, at its core, a story-driven game about a woman and her troubled relationship with her religion. There are some light puzzles to be found here, but it is primarily about using interactivity in new ways to tell a story, and I think for those reasons, it’s very worth seeing. In the opening moments, it clearly conveys that it’s got some ideas. On top of that, it’s a looker. It’s using most of the benefit that Unreal Engine 5 offers, and someone on the development team really understands cinematic framing, at times resulting in some of the best real-time images my PC has ever rendered.

juergen,

Thank you for pointing that out! I always thought it looked interesting, but somehow thought that it was only available on Steam - and my PC is not up to the task. Just bought it for the PS5.

Eiri, do games w Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening

Has something in particular been happening lately? I feel like Ubisoft has sucked for quite a while, but their stock price was fine until relatively recently, right?

DragonTypeWyvern,

If games sucking was the same thing as games being unprofitable gaming would be in better shape.

@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Isn’t Sims 2 still the most robust and fleshed out Sims out there?

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

I think 3 was, I guess it’s subjective though.

Maybe the base game of 2 had more features or something, and with 3 you needed add-ons

Cagi,

Relative to its time, yes, but Sims 3 is peak Sims. It improved on 2 in every way, but the thing they did the best and left out of 4 was the create a style tool, which allows you to make any surface any texture and colour you like. You could have a wooden sweater and metal carpet. No limits. You could make uncanny replicas of most homes, furnishings and all.

Try Warhammer Space Marine 2

Hmmm, this game looks sweet, maybe a good option for future once military fever is down a notch.

Flamekebab, do games w What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game?
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

The Ezio trilogy, I reckon. I was very invested in Desmond's story and the series felt like it was building towards a conclusion.

Will we ever get the present day AC game?

sigmaklimgrindset, do games w how is final fantasy XVI

This is just my opinion, please if anyone reading this loves FFXVI don’t take it personally!

IMO: The story is ass, the visuals are spectacular (especially the Eikon fights), the soundtrack is amazing, and the gameplay is a weird combo of FFXIV and DMC5. If you’re not opposed to some game spoilers, I would really recommend watching a stream of the beginning of the game just to see what you’re getting into.

If you’ve played other mainline Final Fantasy, it’s very different gameplay-wise. Your party is AI controlled, and you only control the main character of the section (usually Clive). This really turned me off from the game tbh. The mainline story can really drag too, and the sidequests vary in quality so much I genuinely wondered if they had several different teams working on them and not communicating. The only ones I really liked were the hunts, because I think that’s the only time you as a player actually have to think about your moveset and how to tackle a boss.

If you can get it on sale, and you’re willing to sit through like…15h of intro to actually get to the main parts of the game, go for it. If you want something a bit shorter, but shows what modern Final Fantasy games seem to going towards, maybe try Final Fantasy 7 Remake. If you want a cleaner version of Clive’s gameplay, I recommend the Devil May Cry series, especially 5.

ieightpi,

Geezus the story isn’t ass. I know you prefaced with it just being your opinion, but with a charged comment like that’s it’s hard not to want to push back.

sigmaklimgrindset,

That’s fine, you can disagree. But as someone who 100% the game (and somehow kept my sanity), I really do think anything that is outside of the Clive/Joshua/Rosfiels story is pretty weak, and that is like…35% of the game total.

I don’t want to get into spoilers, but I think all the Eikons outside of Dion are severely underutilized, and could have been much more impactful in the story. The whole Ultima payoff is also really not very well thought out with how it’s explained. That’s why I genuinely think the writers were segmented into different teams and were not communicating with each other.

The Rosfield-centred plot is genuinely great though, I really wish they had stuck mainly to that.

lime, do gaming w What is your most stressful, hectic and panic-inducing base-building game?
@lime@feddit.nu avatar

Oxygen Not Included. it’s just a constant stream of entropy-driven-crisis mitigation.

my current issue is that part of an oil field deep underground briefly became too hot and since then my base has been slowly filling with toxic sour gas. the only way to get rid of it is to turn it into methane and sulfur by cooling it to -160 degrees but i don’t produce enough hydrogen to run the thermal nullifier.

Electric_Druid,

Currently on day 600 on my current file. Still having power and heat regulation issues. Some things never change!

Hugin,

You can always vent the gas to space. Door crushers work great if you don’t mind exploits. Sour gas is useless until late game.

You should liquid lock your base to prevent unwanted gases from getting in.

My best tip for oni is after 4 dupes the number of dupes is the difficulty setting. Grow slowly.

lime,
@lime@feddit.nu avatar

i’m like 1400 cycles in on this run :P got eight dupes and just passed a million stored calories, have infinite air, water and copper, so i feel like i should be able to do something about it

Hugin,

I’d shot for supercoolent next. With that and a proper counterflow exchanger a sour gas boiler is just a lot of construction.

TommySoda, do games w Frostpunk 2: Review Thread

I was so worried about this game being bad. Not that I didn’t trust them to make a game as good as the first Frost Punk, but more that some of the expansions for the first game were pretty meh. Still good, but nothing like the original experience of the game. Anything above a 7 is a great sign as it’s not a game for everyone. The fact that it got a decent amount of 8’s and 9’s is even better. I can’t wait to play it!

… After I beat the first one again.
