@CAVOK Anonymous torrenting? Is this a fever dream?

Sharp312,

Nope, and it’s awesome. I2P works similarly to tor except instead of being discouraged, there’s a torrent client built in. Only down side is as it’s an entirely P2P network with alot of hops (more than tor) it’s quite slow.

Stardew Valley is a really chill and fun game. You can talk to the towns people but don’t have to and the dialogue is all very short if you do.

Yeah, I’ve played that game to death at this point, I’m afraid.

I’ll also add Urbek City Builder. It’s a city building game but it’s a more simplified one. Resource management is very easy and you can build your city as fast or as slow as you need.

Nobody’s gotten this yet unfortunately. Solution:

spoilerIts Prince of Persia The Sands of Time. Princess Farah, who you escort, always find a conventient crack only she can fit through whenever the game needed her gone. This got kind of memed.

@GiuEliNo@feddit.it avatar

I hate it I try to always avoid always online drm but sometimes it’s really impossible, i’m gonna be honest and say that i got some issue with my steamdeck for them. (f u ubisoft btw) So if i find that a singleplayer game needs an always online drm i just don’t buy it.

loops,

Same. I really loved the first two Diablos, but I wouldn’t touch the new one because of it. I’ll just wait a decade or so and emulate it.

Never into the 3d Metal Gear Solid games. Also most RTS; no matter how cool they look they just aren’t my cup of tea.

Auggie_Otter,

I like Metal Gear Solid a lot. Metal Gear Solid 2 was okay but the bait and switch from Solid Snake to Raiden was just aggravating and the plot started getting more crazy than I cared for. By the time Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater came out I was just done. I know I’m in the minority here but it just isn’t for me. The first Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 was about the right balance of game play and funky off the wall story for me.

Hideo Kojima needs someone to tell him when enough is enough.

@GetsThruBuckner@lemmy.world avatar

Persona 5 Royal. Close 2nd is Nier: Automata. Both amazing OSTs

youknowthatthing,

P5R had an excellent soundtrack

BluePhoenix01,

My main wish after P5R soundtrack was released… is that I wish there was a definitive playlist of the order once both soundtracks are merged. As of right now, there is a set list for P5 and then a separate one for P5R…

Maybe I need to keep looking, or generate it myself (it’s harder than it seems though).

Check out J-music Ensemble’s Persona 5 cover album Metagroove! It’s really well made, I couldn’t go back to listening the vanilla soundtrack without thinking of it.

Red Dead Redemption 2. Everyone goes on about how awesome it is, but I just found the story and gameplay really slow and dull.

sjolsen,
@sjolsen@beehaw.org avatar

RDR2 suffers heavily from the same problem as GTAV’s single player mode: it’s a movie posing as a video game and both aspects suffer for it.

RDR2 would have been great if it was just the part where you wander around tracking critters and collecting flowers and playing cowboy dress-up, but the game really doesn’t want you to do that. Not to belabor the point, but between how unpredictable the connection between “interact with item/character X” and “start mission with character Y” can be and the game’s tendency to fail missions the second you go off-script, RDR2 often felt like it was directed by someone who actively resented the concept of player agency.

Kindajustlikewhat,

You articulated my issue with it perfectly. In theory it was this amazing open world with tons of player freedom, but the minute you engage with the actual story at all you have no choice in anything. There was one quest where I HAD to rescue Micah and kill a butt load of people which really annoyed me given I was going for a white hat run.

Stardew Valley. I don’t find it relaxing at all but a chore and stressful due to the day/night cycle. I feel like Terraria is handling day/night much better.

sydneybrokeit,

Yep. I love planting things, harvesting them… I want Stardew Valley without the time management stuff.

asqapro,

If you’re on PC, there’s mods to help with the time (even stopping it altogether). I haven’t tried them out myself, but this mod would solve the time management issue: www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/169

sydneybrokeit,

Yeah, I’ve tried those out before. It tends to make the game feel weird, if that makes sense? Like, everything is still expecting time to progress.

Really, I want a game like Stardew, but without the hard timeline baked in from the start.

laresek, do gaming w What’s everyone playing this weekend?

Tears of the Kingdom. I’m going to be here for awhile, but this game has made me want to play some other Switch games in my collection that I’ve been putting off, like Xenoblade Chronicles.

Xenoblade is awesome! It blew my mind that sooo many really outstanding Switch games were in fact done by the same company!

Banana, do gaming w What are some of your LEAST favorite game mechanics?
@Banana@kbin.social avatar
  • Excessive grinding or padding in a game just for the sake of it or for microtransaction reasons.
  • Microtransaction and pay-to-win models in full price $70 games...
  • Overuse of Quick time events Press E to dodge etc etc
  • Escort missions when developers want to pad their game out
  • Terrible stealth mechanics when an enemey spots me when im standing still in a bush from the other side of the map
sverit,

Yeah, the older I get, the more “I don’t have time for 10h grinding a day” I get. Just let me play a complete game in peace please.

smikwily,

I decided a few years ago that I play games to have fun and if a game isn’t fun, I don’t play it. I don’t have much time these days to dedicate gaming, so I want to enjoy the time I do.

I’ve had a few I’ve really enjoyed until I hit some really terrible game mechanic or even a boss encounter I can’t get past. I’ll usually give it a few days/tries, but I’ll flat out just bail and uninstall a game if it is causing me too much stress.

sverit,

Same here, life is too short to struggle ingame :)

Deestan, do gaming w What are some of your favorite game mechanics?

Creative allowance. Even if it makes the game “unbalanced”.

Just Cause 2 with the grappling hook you could attach one end to a statue and one to a truck.

Grand Theft Auto 3 was the first game where I realized I could complete an assassination by stealing a police car, use the swarm of police cars following me as a “net” to trap my target’s car so he couldn’t drive away, and then blowing up the pile of cars with a grenade.

Rimworld where I can create a settlement of nudist vampires trading beautiful wooden sculptures for slaves to feed on.

The Sims 3 of course.

From the Depths, Minecraft, Space Engineers, Valheim also to a large degree.

pcouy,

The last two Zelda games (especially totk) lets the player get really creative as well

BOTW for sure. The expansive open world is just great to get lost in. Not to mention the soundtrack can be calming when you’re out riding your horse in the fields.

Mandy,

Got any favourite track? Always up for some music

ericskiff,

I highly recommend checking out the Zelda and Chill trilogy - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoupLnv0rZ6yQYLT…

XCOM 2 on the lowest difficulty. Sacrilege, I know, but there’s just no better feeling than waltzing through some aliens with my whole squad intact at the end while feeling like a tactical genius. And even the weird Chimera Squad is just fun at times for a bit of a changeup.

donio,

I am taking this as my permission to play on rookie!

@hikaru755@feddit.de avatar

You play however is the most fun to you! Gaming can become so much more fun when you realize that different difficulty levels are there to serve you and your enjoyment of the game, not the other way around!
