brihuang95, do gaming w What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?
@brihuang95@sopuli.xyz avatar

The game that comes to mind is Dark Souls. They teach you the bare bones of the controls and that’s it.

Nothing about where to go, what stats to level up, ways to defeat specific enemies, what spells/elemental attacks to use, etc.

I had to Google a lot of things in the beginning.

Skua,

I still don't know what the fuck the intended use of Resistance is

ninjakitty7,

I think the numbers that go up when you level resistance were supposed to go up more than they do.

Umm was it supposed to help you “resist” getting poisoned or cursed? 🤨

CylustheVirus,

A trap for the unwary.

spiderman,

Elden ring was my first “souls like” game and it was also an open world game too. For a gamer who wasn’t accustomed to these kinds of games, it was a totally different experience for me.

Elden ring I think is still much more accessible for a newcomer. If you try Dark Souls 1, you’ll realize that the difficulty of the game also learns pretty hard into more tedious aspects.

Getting cursed in Dark Souls 1 means you’re HP is capped to half until you find the cure, as an example.

tmyakal,

I always figured this was an intentional part of the design philosophy. The game lets players write and read one- or two-sentence strategy guides anywhere in the world. I took the hint and figured they wanted me to look up strategy guides.

DeusHircus, do games w I accidentally bought a game while my VPN was on

What’s your concern? I’ve never heard any issues with purchasing anything on VPN. In fact, it’s recommended to save money by getting around geo-pricing

SymbioteSynapse,

It is against the steam subscriber agreement to use a VPN. Particularly if you’re using it to get around a region restricted game. Will they check and catch you? Probably not, but they can. It’s definately not recommended though.

HawlSera,

Getting around geo-pricing is a bannable offense

QubaXR, do games w I accidentally bought a game while my VPN was on
@QubaXR@lemmy.world avatar

(assuming your home country is USA) You are allowed to purchase games from US websites while you travel. As long as the purchase is linked to your US payment method, with US residence address on the bill, it does not matter where I’m the world you connect from.

You might raise suspicion if you bought something via NL VPN, using Dutch credit card and address. Otherwise you are all good.

This whole quest scene was so unexpected, disturbing, hilarious and made me fall in love with the game. The timer for this choice makes the situation feel like a real intense JESUS FUCK WHAT DO I DO moment

OfficialThunderbolt, do gaming w What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

Simulation games, like the ones Maxis used to make (other than SimCity). SimEarth, SimAnt, SimTower, etc. Those were educational and fun.

I also once played a simulation game that realistically simulated running a shipping business where you shipped things by boat, sailing your fleet from port to port, dropping off your cargo and loading new cargo, giving the occasional bribe, etc. while avoiding bankruptcy. I think it was called “Port of Call.” It was made a long time ago, and I haven’t played anything quite like it since then.

@storksforlegs@beehaw.org avatar

Yes, I totally agree with this. I would play these games so much growing up. Especially SimLife.

I like sim games where you feel like you’re experimenting with a scenario, not just trying to get the highest score or some win condition.

@Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Not exactly educational, but Sid Meier Pirates was also a lot of fun.

frankivo,

Oooh, reminds me of SimFarm 😃

Water,

SimFarm was surprisingly fun.

Rodeo,

SimAnt was awesome

Eddie, do gaming w What game mechanics do you love and hate?

Anything that involves the mechanic “defeat all the enemies in this room in order to unlock the next room” is a huge turn off for me.

bread, do games w Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?
@bread@feddit.nl avatar

Can’t say that I’ve ever had this issue. Usually mod authors will tell you where to install them, or package the files in a folder structure such that there is no thinking involved.

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

So I’m just an idiot.

Sounds about right.

reseller_pledge609,

Like most things, you’re just “an idiot” until you figure it out. Like any skill, the more you practice the better you get. Just take the time to understand it better and it will start making more sense eventually.

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Even then it can be difficult. A lot of mods have other dependencies that need to be installed and those dependencies and can have dependencies.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yeah, I usually just follow the instructions, which seems to work 99% of the time. The main problem is usually if a mod still works with the latest game version.

Phegan, do games w What are your favorite games for killing nazis?

I came here exclusively to reiterate.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

AwesomeLowlander, do games w What are your favorite board games? I'm looking for games that are satisfying and lead to a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment or connection.

Check out !boardgames in case you’re not aware. Lots of discussion happening there.

Regarding your question, it’s hard to say since you don’t mention any mechanics, or complexity level, that you prefer. Based on the couple of examples you provide, you seem to like cooperative card games. If so, you should check out ‘The Crew’. It’s the most popular of that genre in my game club.

Ranked #1 in family games on bgg

cannedtuna,

The Crew is solid.

The Gang too, which is sorta similar. I’ll bring a bag of board games and only end up playing The Gang all night if it comes out too early.

MoonlightFox,

Looks fun, just ordered the game now! 😊

codexarcanum, do gaming w Now what?

For me it’s trying to remember what I was doing, realizing I’m right outside the door of an extremely difficult boss that I’d given up on, and now i also have no idea how to play anymore. At that point I either uninstall the game to wait longer or I flush the save and start anew.

zante, do gaming w Now what?

When you’re 50, it’s 7 days.

And forget having two games on the go at the same time

JeanMichelVase, do games w Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions?

In the style of Slay The Spire : Griftlands, Monster Train, Wildfrost, Accross The Obelisk, Dicey Dungeons (kinda)

More action oriented : Risk of Rain Returns, Risk of Rain 2 (both games are awesome and quite different), Rogue Legacy 1 & 2, Gunfire Reborn, Spelunky 1 & 2

Unique : Balatro, Noita, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Cultist Simulator, Ballionaire, Luck Be A Landlord

Feel free to search about any of these games or ask some questions about them.

spireghost,

Would not recommend Crypt of the Necrodancer, considering barely anybody ever beats the game even by default, and then completing the full story is far too hard to not be frustrating

JeanMichelVase,

Can’t say it’s not difficult, but it’s not a reason to not talk about it. OP may be one of the 10% who could finish it.

For people who found it to difficult, Cadence of Hyrule is the same concept ported in the Zelda universe. It’s easier, more forgiving and if you die, you don’t have to start all over again. And its musics are awesome, Zelda music remixed by Danny Baranowski.

How_do_I_computah, (edited ) do games w What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game?

I don’t know if these are the most joy but some good memories.

When I first saw Mario 64 in Toys R Us I was awestruck. Just unbelievable. Mario in 3D.

When I was playing Ocarina of Time I was hunting Poes in Hyrule field on Epona. I fell asleep because it was late. When I woke up the game was still running. Nothing overheated. Nothing killed me in game. No loud jarring noises. I wasnt late for anything. I just woke up and started hunting Poes again.

A friend and I were staying up late playing one of the early Kings Quest games where you can dial a 900 number to help you if you got stuck. This was back when save points were maybe once every 10 minutes if you’re lucky. We had gotten to a really verbose riddle that we were supposed to have found a clue for earlier in the game but missed it. We just figured out the riddle and guessed it on the first try. It was an unbelievable triumph.

B0NK3RS, do games w Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package?
@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

Get them a month (or 3) of PC Gamepass so they can play everything and find out what they like.

owenfromcanada,
@owenfromcanada@lemmy.world avatar

This is probably the best way to go. You won’t be able to beat the flexibility for the price.

B0NK3RS, do games w My recent experiences with big budget AAA after years of avoidance
@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

no time to admire the view

Apparently everyone wants instant gratification and we need to be on to the next scripted moment, then the next one, and the next… No time to admire anything you see.

The best thing about Gamepass is all the non-AAA games that I wouldn’t normally get to play because there is a lot more variety in them.

XeroxCool,

I don’t have time to be rushed like that. If anyone needs me between now and January 3rd, I’ll be parked in the deserts of Far Cry 2 at night with my buggy ignoring whatever petty need you have to admire the dark serenity and distant zebra yelps.
