Gladaed, do gaming w Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games

Game being hard means the struggle of the character can be conveyed to the player.

Cocodapuf, do games w For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?

Having played Minecraft and No Man’s Sky, I can say that no world is necessarily too big, because infinite is not too big.

bytesonbike,

This is it.

GTA 5 was boring when it came to exploring, much of it was pretty empty unless there was a mission. Elder Scrolls Arena was just random generated repeated stuff - miles of it. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was a lot of copy and paste.

dejected_warp_core, do games w What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?

Portal and Portal 2.

GLaDOS’ constant mockery of your person, your ability to navigate tests, and general spite pretty much make both games. It all even manages to provide a lot of world-building without lore-dumping. 10/10, would get roasted again.

Wytch, do gaming w They literally don't know they were born

Tough thing about being a kid. Lot of free time, no responsibilities, and no idea what you wanna do with it. In a sense anyway. When I was a kid yeah we had fewer choices. But I also had limited experience. Didn’t know what I might like or not.

I see my niece grow up with a similar attitude about movies. “I would not like that.” You can’t know that. So many games, you just don’t know which ones to play. You don’t have the criteria in mind to make an educated guess about what might be a good match for you.

In one of the Leisure Suit Larry games, you get called out for saving the game too often during a particularly difficult section.

I’ve heard Black Desert is an absolute grind fest that does not respect your time.

Kolanaki, do gaming w The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

If it’s one of the oldest ones, I assume it’s for Java, which means it’s entirely run by the server operator and not one of those shitty 3rd party hosted servers you can rent out from within Bedrock.

I don’t remember ever seeing anything about how you need to run a server of your own in compliance with Mojang’s rules in the EULA or TOS.

logan_hero,

Bedrock server is distributed same as the java one and before starting a server the eula.txt has to be manually edited or server won’t even start:

changing the setting below to TRUE you are indicating your agreement to our EULA (account.mojang.com/documents/minecraft_eula). eula=false

zabby, do games w The Outer Worlds 2 | Review Thread

I’m SO relieved!!! I enjoyed the first one more than most people. At the time I was in a rut where most video games were not enjoyable or fun. Then the first game came out and I felt alive again from the SECOND the music started on the title screen!

I’ve been looking forward to the second one for years and I’m so relieved that Microsoft didn’t fuck it up.

I’m taking it as it was mostly completed by the time Microsoft bought them, the story and everything had already been decided, so hopefully an easy win for Obsidian. Future titles started under Microsoft though… idk

I enjoyed the first planet but the ones after that didn’t feel as good.

ImgurRefugee114, do games w Why would I buy this?

Play Necesse or Abiotic Factor. Both just left early access recently and are great real games for good prices and aren’t stuffed with the modern AAA bloat

Edit: I posted this just before reading the last paragraph… Well, glad it’s taking off lol

MirrorGiraffe,

Been oogling necesse. Would’ve loved couch co-op with the kids. On a scale of 1 to terraria, how much do you enjoy it?

ImgurRefugee114,

It’s a bit more basebuildy than Terraria which I actually prefer as someone who enjoys rimworld. It’s pretty big on boss fights tho, but i usually leave that to my friends and focus on the base. It has a lot of polish and quality-of-life features. I’ve sunk about 140 hours into it so far but I’ll probably rack up a lot more than that. It isn’t very replayable and has a weak endgame loop, but it’s a very solid game.

This is crazy you’ve kept this streak up for so long, kudos

wizardbeard, do games w Lake Isabella Lore Drop: What’s Your Favorite Find?

The fuck is Lake Isabella and why is this written like an ad? This might make sense if you were writing about the setting of a famous or popular game, but even then it would be a stretch.

Lost_My_Mind, do games w Do you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart?

“Does you feel”? Noes I don’ts.
