In the end game of Tears of the Kingdom. The systems for collection are really obtuse. I’m pretty sure I have all of the Shrines, but still missing a couple of hearts. Also have to look around for quest starters by teleporting all over

EveningPancakes,

I’m also in the end game part, trying to max out my hearts before putting the game away. I’ve been using Mapgenie.io to help me figure out what Shrines I don’t have. While I love the exploration and the sensor+ helps point you in the right direction, I just want to wrap this one up soon to get to other games in my backlog.

I bought it for PS5 today and realized after I bought it that it isn’t even out yet for that platform. So unless I can get a refund tomorrow, I guess I can’t try it out for 2 more weeks.

Keeboy,

Don’t forget to send me the apk

KonekoSalem,

I think they were trying to help by providing metadata for you to check against. Not actually sending the APK itself.

Keeboy,

Ahh I understand

Late to the party? Wasn’t the game released a few days ago?

Tunic, but that was kind of the point.

The OG Splinter Cell. I modded my original Xbox not top long ago and am looking to play games on it so it wasn’t a waste so I figured why not give it a try?

I am enjoying it so far but I’m used to playing the new Hitman games where the AI is rather predictable and I can gun my way out of most situations. I just beat the Kalinatek level and feel like I need to finish the game at this point.

I don’t know if I need to play one game after the other to full understand the overall plot or what game I should stop at if I just want to play the best in the series.


Not sure if I’ll play Baldur’s Gate 3 because I own the first two on multiple systems and haven’t beaten them

There is a bit of a continuing story in Splinter Cell, but for the most part, each one is its own story. I'd say I was fairly unimpressed with Pandora Tomorrow and Double Agent, but neither is bad. Conviction is very different from the games before it but still plenty of fun, and Blacklist somehow manages to marry Conviction's gameplay with the classic gameplay of the series in a modern way, but Michael Ironside was battling cancer at the time, so Fisher was unfortunately recast. If you're asking the average person which one is best, most will say Chaos Theory, and then you'll get a contingent of people such as myself who prefer Blacklist, but CT is still great.

As for the old Baldur's Gate games, no better time than now to go through them. I'm inching closer to finishing 2 after beating 1 earlier this month. They're great.

DracEULA, do gaming w How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?

I play usually with my spouse, and occasionally my brothers. With the former, we usually get pretty into ARPGs (PoE, Titan Quest, Van Helsing, older Diablo) or Don’t Starve Together. With my siblings it’s usually random stuff they suggest that’s not too complicated so we can catch up while we play.

I used to do Overwatch, but the time commitment to stay good is just too much, and the games end up sucking more often than not. Haven’t touched OW2. TF2 is still fun, and I’ve been doing a bit of Sea of Thieves solo but occasionally interacting with other crews. Basically anything that involves playing with strangers is usually not worth the effort for me.

Don’t trust “free” services.

Riseup is free because it is made by people who want the internet to be better. The same way tor is free.

But you should be donating if you find it useful. And I could nearly guarantee that a service that is used for censorship resistance that gets used for P2P will go from nice and fast to ungodly slow

What’s the catch?

reddthat,
@reddthat@reddthat.com avatar

Technically you should be donating if you get value out of it

Ilandar,

The catch is that free services like this are run for people who need them, not people who want to save money. In my opinion it is very scabby to use something like RiseUp for potentially data intensive tasks like torrenting if you can afford a paid VPN service. Leave it for those who genuinely need it.

Usually free high dollar sports packages and free paper views like ufc fights are included.

Brother, it is pay per view. Not paper view.

I’ve been playing Divinity Original Sin 2 with my partner, we both never really got that far into it in the years we both owned it, so we’re trying to get more into it in anticipation of playing Baldurs Gate 3

flamingos, do gaming w What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?

The Binding of Isaac, just some drawings on the ground that don’t actually tell you anything.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

That game is very good at introducing concepts gradually though, and plenty of other things you'll discover by accident, as intended.

Euphoma, do gaming w What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?

Acceleration of Suguri 2 has a tutorial that is just 9 pages talking about the games systems telling you about how specific buttons are for what attacks and which button combinations and other stuff, but it never tells you what those buttons actually are, it just says they are the attack A, attack B, dash button, hyper button, super button. It took me an hour of playing the game to figure out what all of the buttons were.

NateSwift,

This is super common with fighting games. The expectation is that people will be playing on all kinds of input devices, many of them custom. I wonder if part of it comes from the older game’s tutorials being written for arcade cabinets where that’s how the buttons were actually labeled

@chloyster
Not a new game, but I've been replaying Undertale as part of a large randomized multiworld. Every item or big event I unlock turns into a random item or unlock for somebody else's game. And random items in their games are sent to me as random items in mine (or another game). It's called Archipelago, it's really fun and there are games you wouldn't expect to be supported (like The Witness). It's called Archipelago.

chloyster,

Oh cool! I’ve been really wanting to try out Archipelago but the setup for it all seems pretty involved. Still really want to give it a try sometime
