KaChilde, do gaming w The Epidemic Of Gamers Forcing Themselves To Play/Like a Game.

This mindset from people is what makes online multiplayer games unplayable for me.

I don’t get a lot of time to play games as an adult. When I do, I don’t particularly want people telling me how I should be having fun. There is this weird competition that happens where you need to know everything about a game before you are allowed to partake in the game. It sucks to have missed out on so many experiences, but i guess my not playing sub-optimally made someone else’s experience better, so it’s all good.

No man, by all means you bought the game enjoy it however you want. But be real, if you play Ranked in a competitive online game then are expected to at least understand the games mechanics. If not, why not stick to standard? That’s what irritates me.

Akrenion,

If you want to figure out how good you are and enjoy a challenge you play ranked. If the ranked system is good you should rarely or never play with teammates less knowledgeable and less skilled than you.

I don’t think we need a higher barrier of entry for ranked. Just accept that the skill variance happens on both sides and focus on your own game. If you can mentor that is nice and helpful if done right.

I agree 100% and for the record I’m decent at my best days on most online FPS games that I play. It’s not the outcome that irritates me it’s the “why” behind it. In R6S for example “I’m not opening rotation holes because I don’t know where to open them/forgot about them” and “I don’t care about rotation holes because I’m here for my K/D” both have the same outcome. One is an honest play style while the other actively ignores a core part of the game. This I why I’m left wondering if some players like the game itself or they’re just jumping in to jump in. Despite everything it’s still an online game and other players are players not NPCs.

who, (edited ) do games w Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

For interesting game mechanics and replay value: Baldur’s Gate 3.

For beautiful music and nice scenery: Expedition 33.

If I had to choose, it would be BG3.

I like replay value, but music and atmosphere is very important to me.

Can you replay Clair Obscur?

How’s the soundtrack for BG3?

who, (edited )

You can replay any game, of course, but Clair Obscur’s gameplay is mostly on rails with basic JRPG combat repeated over and over again, so I wouldn’t bother. (Honestly, I found the gameplay boring within a dozen hours or so.) Its music is where it really shines. You could buy the soundtrack alone for a fraction of the price.

BG3’s atmosphere is good. The soundtrack is IMHO less inspired than Larian’s previous soundtrack and not really outstanding like the one in Clair Obsucr, but still decent. And as a game, BG3 has a lot more to offer.

@BurntWits@sh.itjust.works avatar

Good to know, thanks.

teft,

Less inspired soundtrack?

Lives, all mortal lives, expire
Souls go to their dooms
In flame, forevermore

That song is fire.

zipzoopaboop,

Unfortunately for you both are great in both. Though bg3 music is mostly atmospheric and 33 has multiple songs that went in to my regular playlist

Clair Obscur does technically have an NG+, though I’d say it’s less of a focus than in Souls games. There is, however, quite a bit of foreshadowing and pieces of the story that you won’t understand on your first playthrough but that hits different the second time through. I personally opted to consume it by watching others play after I completed my own first playthrough, but I’d say there is grounds enough for a second playthrough if that’s important to you.

lelgenio, do gaming w why do many game run better with Proton than on native Linux builds? i know that it's a non-issue from the technical point of view, but it grinds my gears.
@lelgenio@lemmy.ml avatar

I assume this is part due to many games only having support for OpenGL and DirectX, and no Vulkan support. OpenGL has the worse performance of the three, and DirectX is windows only.

But when you using proton, you are likely also dxvk, taking benefit of the optimizations made by game/engine developers for DirectX, while suffering little overhead from the DirectX to Vulkan conversion.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA, do games w What games have mastered "Both emotional extremes"?
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

which emotional extremes? happiness? joy? fear? sadness? terror? hunger? beautiful food? lust? lust for the beautiful food? i got a lot of emotions just right now lets be real, there’s more than two.

Katana314,

Sorry I should have clarified.

I specifically meant hunger and lust. I will begin removing other examples.

MycelialMass,

I dont think hunger is an emotion

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,

Tell me this doesn’t uh evoke or invoke, maybe invoice I dunno anymore, an emotional response

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8a3d0e5c-4417-4967-8dc7-7b32b5155cbc.gif

MycelialMass,

Oh no doubt food can evoke an emotional response, like coming home on a cold rainy day to smell of your loved one baking cookies or something. But hunger itself I wouldnt class as an emotion

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

i guess you haven’t experienced capitalized Hunger yet then. like, not eating for two months hunger. trust me, it’s an emotion as well as a physical response.

slimerancher, do games w Day 408 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

I want to try this, but I am not a big fan of sandbox games without any set goals. Is there any kind of single player campaign in it?

lankydryness,

Sortaaaa, it’s pretty weak from what I remember and mostly served to give you a reason to explore more of the sandbox and use the different features of the game.

Schal330,

It has a loose story to get to the center of the universe, but I can’t say I’ve ever made it there as I always end up doing other things

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Heh, have heard similar things from others, just not sure if that would work for me, but still, sounds like worth a try at least.

plm00,

The campaign is more or less the tutorial. Otherwise, you set your own goals. Like unlocking new building materials, buying a new ship, stuff like that. It’s a sandbox. A very good one at that.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks. I guess I should just give it a try some day.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

There is a story. I wouldn’t say it’s particularly fascinating unless you really love Sci-Fi but there’s a bunch of side quests to do as well

Doc_Crankenstein,

The game has periodic expeditions that have some story to them, and there is the main overarching story plus the “Journey to the Center” bit

But yea, it’s mostly a sandbox where you make cool bases (and now cool space ships) or try to make number go up and grow an intergalactic trading empire.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Number going up can be fun for a while too…

TipRing, do games w The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.

On the m/m side, the visual novel Coming Out on Top is a remarkably well-written, if saccharine, dating game about a college guy figuring things out. I don’t usually like VNs but this one was worth playing. It’s has a lot of gay sex in it, that is literally the entire point so, you know, be aware of that.

Apeman42,
@Apeman42@lemmy.world avatar

Nice. I don’t typically go for M/M unless femboys are involved, but it’s what my wife likes, and that’s one of the ones I linked her when she asked me to research a few games for her to try.

TipRing,

Femboys can be hot too, though often authors seem to mix up femboys with trans women and that ends up being frustrating when I try a CHOYA game marked as m/m and it doesn’t have any actual m/m in it.

drmoose, do games w The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.

My recommendations:

  • Aurelia is an adventure point and click where you move to a cozy fantasy town. Beautiful art and presentation and just good erotica all around with reasonable puzzle and rpg gameplay.
  • Third Crisis is an ultimate gooner game. It really goes out there and if you’re into that sort of thing and it’s really well made.
  • Kaiju Princess hang out with a girl who’s secretly a kaiju monster

Most steam erotica games started out as poor quality visual novels or clone games with titties but the scene is really shaping up to something much more interesting!

SabinStargem,

I personally like Galaxy War’s “Let’s Get Married!” series, which is two puzzle games. The premise is to advance through dungeons by spending health, keys, and money. Enemies are not just obstacles, they drop money and the route you take through each level will determine what resources you have down the line. The meta game is to keep track of routes, and in future playthroughs, have a more precise plan that accounts for the future. It is very math-based, since there is no RNG. Each action is a tradeoff. It is the same gameplay as DROD RPG and Tower of the Sorcerer. The characters and molestation elements feel similar to Rance, though more good-natured.

The Dungeon of Lulu Farea is the first entry.

Another game of interest is Monster Girl Dreams. While I personally don’t care much for the battle fuck system, I very much like the variety of characters and the large amount of dialogue that can be had with them. The game is freeware, and well worth playing if you enjoy lovey-dovey sex with monster girls.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/ba77d3bb-1bc5-4f38-9b0f-44ea87b8fe56.png

In a similar vein to Lulu Farea, I am interested in Star Knightess Aura. Some resources cannot be replenished during a playthrough, so you need to consider routing. The plot might be interesting, as it is about brainwashing the protagonist. You select what aspects of her personality are altered, changing her one thing at a time. For those who are into corruption, I think it holds promise.

congratulations on starting your journey with adult games!

i’ve found my way to it via visual novels. my initial thought were like they’re almost the same as any “teenage-romance book” but with more interaction so what could go wrong, right?

totally agree with you that there’s a lot of stigma going on around sexuality that makes people miss out on good games.

The Fallout 4 intro and main story still irks me.

It wa really hard having fun ripping through the wasteland as the ugliest self-indulgent chaotic-evil idiot savant I could be, while knowing the backstory is from perfect picket fences and I could lecture Dominic Torreto on family.

“You need to find your son!”

“Uuuugh, do I have to? You can have him.”

I was so uninvested.

RaivoKulli,

@Supervisor194@lemmy.world avatar

I won’t even play the game without modding it, and first in line is always Start Me Up. You can write your own story about who you are and it converts all the Sean quests into “find this dead guy’s kid.” So much better.

saltesc,

Oh, that’s cool. That rnlght be worth a reinstall once I finish my current games… IF I can make it out of Nexus with under 15 mins browsing mods and not picking up any that CTD and take an hour to isolate and remove lol

the option for Max to kiss Chloe showed up, I immediatly went for the kiss (well… the first time was a dare and that was barely even a kiss) Their relationship is just so sweet. I chose to sacrifice Arcadia Bay cuz fuck the dumb corrupt town. Max&Chloe is the canon ending to me. (The butterfly killed Arcadia Bay, ’sfault)
