I don't think this one is even vaguely possible anymore, but "I Wanna Be The Guy" would be my suggestion for this question. That first encounter with the game is one of the most special moments in all of gaming.

Rai,

Ooooo play Syobon Action if you like IWTBTG!

UprisingVoltage, do games w What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?

Definitely fear and hunger (the first one)

Also, baldur’s gate 3 has an uncountable number of “no fucking way the devs did this” that make a blind run of the game a memorable experience

Same goes with the metal gear solid saga

superkret,

Lol, Fear and Hunger is banned in Germany (which usually means it’s good).

BG3 might be a bit above my current PC’s capabilities.
I’ve donated my gaming PC for controlling the lighting at a local non-profit concert venue, so now I only have my laptop to game.

Prunebutt,

I think it’s not banned, but doesn’t have an age rating, which makes it ill gal to be advertised in Germany. Since displaying the game counts as “advertisement”, Valve simply doesn’t let you buy it.

UprisingVoltage,

I’ve played BG3 mostly on geforce now, it’s a nice workaround if your pc is not capable enough. If you buy it on steam you’ll have synced saves for when you get your pc back.

They are still updating the game and it has official mod support (not on geforce now though).

It’s also discounted 20% on steam right now

EddyNottingham, do games w What is your favorite vehicle in GTA:SA?

That NRG900 sporty motorbike.

Loved going fullspeed down the highway so that I would crash and die and only see what I crashed into 2 seconds later once it had actually loaded in 🥲

analwound, do games w What is your favorite vehicle in GTA:SA?

Police bike. Once you max your driving skill it’s almost impossible to be knocked off of it. Only downside is no radio

Should have a good time with hollow Knight

I haven’t had any other communications associated with the account deletion, however.

Thanks for the input. I wonder if you were amongst the first few people to delete their account in response to the controversy.

Grotto!!

$1.29 for an absolute gem of a game. Totally recommend! Works great on my steam deck and ps4 controller

store.steampowered.com/app/1538850/Grotto/

SwordInStone,

I need to give this gane a second chance

Wiz,

I got Grotto based on your suggestion. Played it a bit yesterday. Interesting game! I’ve definitely gotten my $1.29 out of it already.

gothic_lemons,

Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying it

SeekPie, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?

My power supply on my PC died, so don’t have any money for games right now.

Wiz,

Sad trombone noise.

Skullgirls is the best game you can play on any machine, and it will run on that laptop. But if you’re mostly interested in RPGs, check out the Pillars of Eternity games, especially the second one. Wasteland 2 will likely run on that thing just fine.

Pillars was awesome. I need to grab deadfire

superkret,

I just started Pillars.
Great suggestion, thanks! Also bought Wasteland 2 (with the current sale, I think I bought 10 great old games for $20) and will try that next.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Awesome! That first one can be a lot of combat, but it is good combat, and Pillars 2 is, in my opinion, just a better game in every way that the first game feels lacking.

superkret, (edited )

I’ve bought both. The first one feels a lot like what I remember from the old DnD games (Baldurs Gate 1+2, Temple of Elemental Evil, Icewind Dale) and it seems to be very well-designed.
But if it turns into a slog, I’ll definitely try the second part before giving up. I already like the lore a lot.

Tattorack, do games w Palworld announces Terraria crossover
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Is Palworld still a janky mess?

QuadratureSurfer,
@QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world avatar

I think that’s a fair question given how it initially launched.

I’m no longer falling through the map. I can’t remember the last time that happened (except for the early days of the game).

I’ve only seen other players joining my world getting stuck inside of rocks when they initially spawn in, but you can just get out by spawning a pal that you can mount right next to the rock that you’re stuck in. Edit: Note: This bug is rare and doesn’t happen often anymore.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks for the answer. How are other elements in the game?

I wanted to get Palworld until I saw a friend play it near launch. I held off of buying it for these reasons:

  • Bad pathfinding with enemies and allies getting stuck or easily confused by terrain objects.
  • “Dumb”/static enemy AI behaviour, such as just standing and doing its basic attack animation.
  • Character clipping issues with player structures.
  • Occasional really weird physics issues.

Good they fixed the map falling issue, though.

ICastFist,

  • Pathfinding still sucks and people abuse that for bosses, building walls or whatever to glitch them. The good-ish is that this has been mostly fixed for base working pals, they’ll either work in place or teleport to the thing where they’re supposed to work. Sometimes they may still drop “inside” foundations, so you gotta remove/add them again from the base bench.
  • Enemy AI still sucks - same applies for your combat pals’ AI. Attack, wait, maybe move a bit, repeat. They don’t dodge or attempt to move except when positioning for an attack.
  • Happens more often with online play. Playing offline is a lot more stable regarding clipping issues
  • I think those are mostly fixed
Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Guess I’ll have to wait till the game is a bit more cooked. Bummer. I hope they win this stupid lawsuit from Nintendo, because Palworld does have good potential.

Bad Pathfinding:

  • Allies: aren’t getting stuck anywhere near as often at my base compared to what they were doing near launch. I haven’t noticed it recently, but they likely still get stuck depending on how complicated your base gets. Beyond that, any pathfinding is fairly basic, they’re not smart about it.
  • Enemies: I’ve seen them navigate through trees and up simple mountain trails when they’re running away from me. And if you attack them, and hide up on a nearby cliffside they usually just get stuck at the cliffside below you trying to walk into the wall.

Dumb/Static enemy behaviour:
Yeah this is still very basic. They usually stay in the same place unless they are running away, chasing you, switching targets, or using an ability that forces them to move. It’s trivial to just hide behind a tree or a boulder and attack them until their health is low enough to catch. They won’t actively try to adjust their angle of attack to compensate for objects between you and them.

Character clipping issues:
The only player structure I still have clipping issues with is one structure meant for increasing your storage/showing off pals at your base. Even then I only saw one player get stuck in it once recently. But he was probably jumping around on top of it for that to happen. It’s rare to see issues at the level we saw at launch.

Really weird physics issues:
The one I can remember off the top of my head was where an attack could launch a character up into the stratosphere and then they would fall and instantly die when they finally hit the ground. I haven’t seen anything like that in months.

Minecraft, and the number is still growing.

STALKER and The Elder Scrolls probably hold the record. I may have wasted even more time in my life on World of Warcraft, but I feel like that doesn’t count since you’re just in a fucking trance for several years until you finally break away.

roofTophopper, do games w What games have you put the most hours into?

EverQuest was my jam back in the day. It ruined highschool for me. Nearly 5 straight years of farming and raids.

I wouldn’t do anything different though. I met some awesome people that got me through the awkward years of high school when the internet was still somewhat new.
