alyaza, do gaming w What would you be interested in out of a modern games focused journalism outlet?
@alyaza@beehaw.org avatar

Would you be interested in supporting an outlet financially? Would you even if all content was available freely, eg. public media as opposed to “premium access.”

if you think you’ll be doing this for a long time, i think “should this be paid or free” is more a question for yourself to determine and not the hypothetical audience you think you’re writing for. at least for now, there is room in the medium for both paid gaming journalism and unpaid gaming journalism.

teawrecks, do gaming w Should I get Monster Train or Inscryption?

I hope you’re not disappointed by Inscryption, because it’s not going to be what you expect. But it is great. Don’t look anything up before you play it.

gk99, do gaming w The 8 hours escaping the Police Station in RE2 Remake are maybe the best 8 hours of gaming I've ever experienced

Honestly, you’d probably like a reasonable chunk of other RE games for the reasons you listed. Several of them also have randomizer mods if you’re playing on PC, which can change the locations of item spawns, enemies, and even what room is on the other side of the door (for the older games) so you really have no idea what’s around the next corner.

4, 5, and 6 are more linear, but 4 and 5 are great for inventory and economy management (with the caveat that you should play 5 in co-op) and 6 is definitely a skip. 0, 1, 3, Code Veronica, and Village are all recommendations from me, though RE2 is one of the most beloved games in the franchise for a reason.

The comment section has become a meme already, but this post reminded me of the pitiful amount of games focused on dragons.

I wish there were more games akin to HttyD/Eragon where you play as a dragon knight, or games where you play as the dragon itself.

People don’t typically do dragons well in general tbh. Even when dragons are secondary to the plot, opting for wyverns the no-armed beasts and calling them dragons. It sort of hurts me inside.

But I agree I want more genuine dragons in my media.

(Side note, I haven’t read the OP as to not spoil myself so for all I know OP could be arguing the same thing so sorry for the redundant point if that’s the case.)

uzay, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?

Among Us. But it was free and I only needed a couple of rounds to figure out I don’t enjoy it much

Albbi, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?

Subnautica, because lots of people said it was a great game and there were things that could be spoiled, so that indicated a neat story. The beginning was freaking awesome! But I hate crafting survival games, so I didn’t play for very long.

Cethin,

The grind and particularly the inventory management make me never want to play Subnautica games again despite loving the first one. I hope they sort this out for the next game in this style if they do it again. The base needs to have a shared inventory that it pulls from when crafting, and preferably stacks of items are shown instead of individual items.

That said, I don’t know if they’ll do another survival game again. They made Natural Selection before it (which is awesome and still has a community) and have made Moonbreaker now. They tend to jump around to a ton of different styles of games.

TimTheEnchanter, (edited ) do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?

A lot of the Zelda games, for me. I tried Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask and they were not my thing. A lot of people raved about those games but I couldn’t get into them. Then there were a couple on the DS that I couldn’t get into, either.

But then I found Wind Waker and absolutely loved it, and then loved Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom (so far), too!

Any reviews touch on PC performance?

And I don’t mean “it ran a smooth 30fps on my 4090”, I mean is the FPS unlocked, does performance chug in random places etc.?

TheDubz87,

I’ve watched a few spoiler free reviews on YouTube and the general consensus is that it drops a little in densely populated cities, but otherwise doesn’t struggle. If your interested it’s one of the first things this guy touches on.

MJBrune, do gaming w Starfield Review Thread

Comes to game pass in 5 days. Might be worth buying on Steam though. Just so I know I have it until Steam closes down.

comicallycluttered,

I’ll just be playing it on Game Pass and then probably buy it when it goes on sale on Steam in a few months. Probably Winter Holiday sale or whatever.

By that time, maybe the Creation Kit will be released (though, that’s more likely to be next year) as well, which makes for much more in-depth mods. Also any script extenders (which will very likely only work on the Steam version) and unofficial patches should be a bit more stable early next year.

Until then, I don’t really need it on Steam.

I keep forgetting to preload, though, which I should do when I get a chance, just to get the initial ~120 GB out of the way.

MJBrune,

it doesn’t seem to be open for preloads yet on game pass. At least I can’t find the button to do it.

mudeth,

I preloaded it via the Xbox app.

Seraphin,
@Seraphin@pawb.social avatar

I’ve downloaded it on two devices already. It’s on the Starfield - Standard Edition page, not the premium edition one. The usual play button will say “Pre-load install”.

MJBrune,

ah thank you, I missed that button

I use AirVPN as well

dudemanbro, do piracy w Whats your preferred codec?
@dudemanbro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I mainly stick to x265 for the size. I’m not too snobby with quality and for the size its fine with me. I want to like AV1 but have issue with playback on some of my devices. Usually i just play locally off a HDD on xbox (Kodi) . This may not be an issue if/when I get a NAS. Not sure if there are issues with transcoding as I haven’t really looked into it

kniescherz, do piracy w Where might I get German (mostly tv) content?

Everything which is aired on the public channels lands in the mediathek and you can legally download it for a while. Here is a handy search tool:

mediathekviewweb.de

prenatal_confusion,

While that is a nice service and a great resource it’s not what I meant. I was looking for shows produced by Amazon or the like explicitly for the German market.

This year will easily go down as one of gaming’s best, if not THE best.
