simple, do games w Is assasin's creed origins good?

It’s alright. It’s the only one of the newer AC games I’ve played so I don’t know how it compares, but exploring ancient egypt was neat and the combat was fun enough.

As with most Ubisoft games, I never finished it. The open world is very copy pasted and it gets repetitive ~15 hours in.

This is almost exactly my experience, but I stuck it out for more like 30 hours because I really dug that desert setting, which is criminally under used in games.

Also, does anyone remember the Animus Save Editor? Back when Ubisoft Connect was still called UPlay, there was a tab in the in-game overlay that allowed you to change a bunch of parameters of your save game, including disabling enemy leveling, making assassinations insta-kills on any enemy, adjusting DPS for your character as well as NPCs, etc. For some reason though, after Ubisoft rebranded UPlay, they removed the feature. I still have my modified save, but can’t make any further adjustments. It sucks because I was able to make the game feel much closer to the old AC games, and new players can’t.

One Way Heroics+

Semi-Rogue-like RPG, flee away from the darkness on the leftside of the screen, try and defeat demonlord and save the world. (Multiple endings)

One of my favorite games ever, guy made his own engine.

It does have design flaws, don’t get me wrong. But this is is really novel and has enough content to get somewhat deep into it.

Eventually you start seeing the same things but for essentially a one man team it’s really impressive.

Bugvasion TD (9 reviews)

It’s a charming little tower defense game where you fight bugs with very fun abilities. I also play tested it so I may be a tad biased but I think it’s underated and fun :3

I recommend Scavenger SV4It’s a very unique game where you send a rover down to a planet to grab what alien artifacts you can before your radiation exposure gets past the point it can be treated. You can bolt some of them onto your rover to make it better and send it down again. It also has several hundred different endings that are decided by how much radiation you absorbed and how much loot and what loot you brought back.

Crab Champions is a fast paced PvE shooter with roguelike elements. You basically are a crab and fight through multiple waves of enimies. You collect loot to become stronger, and there are fun boss fights. It supports co-op multiplayer, and is made by a single indie developer.

hal_5700X, do games w Star Wars Outlaws - Review Thread

Star Wars has been dead for years now. Thanks, Disney.

PunchingWood,

The main trilogy hasn’t been great.

But so much other content, from books (High Republic and other novels) to games (Jedi and Battlefront) to other movies (Rogue One, Solo) and shows (Andor, Ahsoka, Mandalorian, Bad Batch, Clone Wars) have been mostly amazing.

Star Wars is only “dead” if you live in that artificial negative hellhole the online community created.

Melonpoly,

Most of what you’ve listed haven’t been great to put it lightly.

I’m tired of the Internet trying to gaslight me into thinking that Star Wars is doing well when it’s not. The past few shows/ movies that have come out have basically been:

  • “Creator” gets hired that knows nothing about Star Wars and wants to make their own thing under the Star Wars brand,
  • new thing flops,
  • “Creator” blames the fans.

What makes The High Republic books, Ahsoka, The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch amazing? What about “gems” like The Acolyte, The Book of Boba Fett and Kenobi which I’m sure most people have forgotten about? Are they amazing?

Star Wars is only alive if you live in the artificial consumerist hellhole that the online community created.

Hawk,

I really enjoyed bad batch, clone wars, rogue one and Andor

chiliedogg,

Dave Feloni, the producer behind Mando, Boba Fett, and Ahsoka isn’t some outsider who knows nothing. He was the producer of the Clone Wars and Rebels, and has a deep love of the franchise and its lore. In fact, what alienate many people about his shows are that they are so incredibly respectful of what came before that newcomers don’t follow it.

To understand everything in Ahsoka you needed to be familiar with so much lore that wasn’t in the films that it felt more like homework to understand for some viewers.

Melonpoly,

Dave Feloni is a clown. If you are familiar with the lore you end up being more pissed off with how he fumbles it. This is especially true if your a fan of Thrawn, Boba Fett or the Mandalorians.

There are plenty of shows that are still entertaining without knowing the lore. How can you claim that Feloni is respectful of the source material when he’s turned light sabers into non lethal weapons, given Mando a ship that doesn’t fit with his role as a bounty hunter, or how he’s turned Thrawn into an idiot?

Hand of Fate

A deck construction game where the cards you choose to put in the deck are the challenges you will face on your run. You unlock more cards by completing challenges on the cards you have.

You can skip the first one and play the sequel, it’s more polished.

CrossCode, great characters and great story. Really good game.

ByteOnBikes,

Absolutely love this game. It has all the energy of SNES games of my youth. It’s one of the few games I’ve replayed after beating.

Downvoted.

Katana314,

Sorry for the downvotes. Look at it in a positive way! Crosscode has hit a lot of popularity over the years to be so well known.

I like everything except the long, LONG dungeons full of puzzles. I suffer through them so I can experience more story and overworld gameplay, but they’re a real slog for me. Similar problem to what I had with Fenyx Rising, actually.

Underwaterbob,

Long, long puzzle dungeons that encourage you to race against the NPCs. I hated that mechanic so much, I never finished the game.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

I didn’t know that it was actually keeping track when I first played it, but once I read that it doesn’t actually do anything, I was fine with continuing to ignore it.

Underwaterbob,

Yeah, I might get back to it sometime. It is a mish-mash of so many video game tropes I love. It was just one particular instance where I forced myself through a dungeon as fast as I could, got frustrated with the boss and died a couple of times, finally made it, and wasn’t fast enough to beat the NPC that just completely ticked me off and made me put it down. Those monk trial things really tested my patience for a bit there, too.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

I turned the difficulty all the way down, and it’s still not all that easy. I wouldn’t have gotten very far if that option weren’t there, though.

@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

Same, that part was really annoying

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

This is a fantastic game. I haven't finished it; I screwed myself over by losing patience and skipping content near the end and wound up stumbling into the final boss so underpowered that I effectively softlocked myself. I should play this through again and stick to a completionist play style.

ampersandrew, do games w Nintendo: Join us tomorrow, August 27 at 7am PT, for an Indie World Showcase followed by a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase!
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone’s waiting for a Silksong release date. I am too, if for no reason other than Fantasy Critic. I do still expect this game to release this year, given it got age rated in some territories back in February, but if it does release this year, it’s strange that it’s taken this long to get a release date. Every showcase where Silksong doesn’t have a release date is one where people are underwhelmed by any other game shown off.

As for games I’m looking forward to release dates for far more, I’d love to see them for:

  • Commandos: Origins (not so much the indie showcase but maybe in the partner direct)
  • Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age
  • Mina the Hollower
  • The Rise of the Golden Idol

@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Alan Wake 2 was by far my standout choice for GOTY last year. I’m still bummed it didn’t win more awards, particularly narrative ones as I think it handily beats BG3 in that department. I love Remedy and Sam Lake, and I love them pushing the envelope of AAA games. It’s one to add to the example list of “video games as art” in my opinion.

I’m glad the DLC was great, I’ve been trying to hold off until I can play both at once but maybe I’ll need to cave soon…

AutoPastry,

If it helps you decide, the Night Springs DLC is technically a prequel to AW2 but more or less standalone. The DLC is also pretty short with 3 separate chapters that are just a couple hours long total, and locations are reused from the base game. I believe there were supposed to be a couple extra chapters that got scrapped (partially due to James McCaffrey’s passing). That being said, I did enjoy it and think the third episode in particular was pretty interesting.

In a similar vein to another commenter wanting a pre-Paradise style Burnout; I’d like another NFS:U entry, but honestly am so over ‘open world’ racing games… give me a good ol’ fashioned menu any day of the week!

tigeruppercut,

Curses! Looks like word got out faster than I anticipated, which makes me happy as a doom fan :)

ByteOnBikes,

Might I recommend Doom Infinite mod?

I’m blown away by its creativity

tigeruppercut,

I saw this one in a yt vid of various mods and it looked great–adding roguelike stuff into Doom is so cool. I’ll definitely give it a shot.

morphballganon,

Spear of Destiny or Rise of the Triad would have been better picks

tigeruppercut,

I’m just surprised everyone has heard of a mod that’s like 2 weeks old.

morphballganon,

It’s the same game though

tigeruppercut,

Yeah I prob should’ve posted one of the total conversion mods like doom zelda
