BeardedSingleMalt, do gaming w What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?

2 very recent ones on PS5

  • God of War Ragnarok: I did the story and as much f the side missions and challenges as possible. But there are a few Berserker Graves, and the final Valkyrie Gna that no matter how many times I tried it would just get absurd. I almost threw my controller through my TV a few times when trying to roll-dodge to the side for an attack after they’ve already jumped at you and, i shit you not, they change direction in mid-air.
  • Spider-Man: I did 100% the main game, all the side-quests and collectibles just not all the skills. Did all but the last DLC, but finally ragequit when trying to do the base tokens. Interior with tight corners. and you have to take out a dozen enemies including the whip-enemies attacking you from all directions…while rockets are being fired at you in the middle of 5 enemies.
Stillhart,

Oh yeah, I hated the God of War reboot. It was so cool for like 15 minutes. Then I got to the actual combat and I couldn’t stand it. It was nothing like the original, it was hard AF, it used button combinations I’ve never seen before (I think it’s based on Souls games?), etc. It was so disappointing.

I don’t mind Souls games, but I kind of hate how so many games lately (especially sequels) have been trying to low-key fit the genre when nobody asked them to. God of War, Darksiders 3…

Commiunism, do games w Games that force you to make hard choices

Pathologic 2 - it’s a really stressful game, but I think it’d be perfect for the criteria. The choices matter aspect are intertwined in both how you spend your time (it’s limited and you can’t be everywhere at once), and in quests (the more traditional choices, like pick A or B or C). Don’t want to spoil any more but it’s amazing, you don’t need to play the original.

Besides it, I’ve also heard good things from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, though I haven’t played it personally.

I thought Thromebreaker: The Witcher Tales had some extremely tough ones. They also heavily effect your gameplay in that many times they add or remove a character from your party. I had built a deck in that game that relied heavily on a character. That character then did something morally reprehensible and I decided to banish them. That removed them from my deck, too, so I had to come up with a new strategy after that.

Fun game if you can get into it. Almost every choice is extremely morally gray and often feels like there is no good choice at all.

trustnoone, do games w What are your opinions about 'handicap' features in games

Don’t really see it much because it’s either single player game and thus it only matters to me. Or its a multiplayer game in which case it’s just a new option for a group to agree on, on what is good.

Fwiw I’ve only really seen it in smash bros that I think of, and I think it’s a great option. Let’s me try out when a friend is toooo good and we give them less lives and stuff

Dragon Age, the original first one. Definitely no really happy endings there…

FlihpFlorp, do nintendo w In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch, how do I see my starred courses?

If by started courses you mean for getting all first gives you 3 stars that’s hovering over the CC and looking at the cups

If it’s replays if memory serves there’ll be an MKTV button on the bottom of the main menu

Nah, at the end of a race you can star (favorite) a course with Y. Haven’t seen the use in it yet.

Didn’t play the Switch version, but on Wii U this simply saves the replay of the race

I’ve given another chance to Lords of the Fallen as I’ve realised I might have held it to the absurdly high standard of the masterpiece that is Lies of P and it’s a fun game, I’ve just reached the last dungeon.

It has a ton of problems: the jump is terrible, the lock on mechanic is the worst I’ve ever seen, camera is bad, the only challenge the designers seem to know is to gank the player with 50 enemies all the time, quests can be failed by beating a boss too early, selling an item(no buy back) or opening doors, bosses are kind meh and so on BUT it somehow is still fun and good, it’s like it’s more than the sum of its parts. 8/10 and I actually would recommend it.

I’d suggest valheim but I’m not sure how is the performance nowadays, our rented servers struggled a lot with only 3-4 people and I think 10 is the max. Sailing was especially very laggy and glitchy because if it unfortunately.

HumbleFlamingo,

The issue with Valheim is it’s not really a dedicated server. It’s more of a shared saved game repository.

Whoever gets to a region first is the host, and everyone nearby connects to them. If that person has a slow machine, or high latency to the other players it can be really painful. When I was playing with friends, we banned one person from entering dungeons first because they had the worst computer in the group and it was really bad for the rest of us. Same thing with our main base, if they wound up the host, they’d disconnect and log back in so someone else would become host.

I played “The Expanse” (on Linux PC) and I enjoyed it so much that I didn’t put the controller down for over 6 hours (beko.famkos.net/x/1CMPu)

Just recently started my fourth playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, with occasionally playing Starfield and Divinity Original Sin 2.

I’ve found myself playing Armored Core VI with the expanded weapons and balancing update. Burned through my first playthrough, now working on NG+ for more parts. I’ve spent hours designing color schemes for my mechs, and then immediately pounding others into the sand with it. Glorious. Anticipated? The Horizon Forbidden West PC Port, I am going to take 2 days off work when that drops.

hazle, do parlamentarna w Żarty, żartami, ale jak sądzicie co wydarzy się podczas protestu 11 stycznia?

Jakoś tak wydaje mi się, że to będzie niewypał. A jeśli nawet wypali, to nie spodziewam się, żeby dorównało marszowi niepodległości, który znamy i kochamy PUBG name generator.
