theskyisfalling, do gaming w What is the most overrated game gamers hype up?

Elder Scrolls games but specifically Skyrim.

I have tried it multiple times but I just don’t understand how so many people can put so many hours into a game when an element you are going to be engaging in for a lot of your play through is one of the worst in the genre, the combat. It is floaty, imprecise and has zero feeling of impact. It is just horrible. I felt the same about Oblivion but Skyrim seems to be held in even higher regard.

Tried it when it was initially released and it was crap. Did it get any better since?

Well it doesn’t play like a complete potato anymore at least in the character creator on low settings 😮‍💨 but I will say their low settings like like high setting on most games. Turn off ray tracing for some ungodly reason it’s in by default

I was hyped for it’s release earlier, but now that it’s not out of early access yet and they’re already releasing DLC, I think I’ll give it a pass.

I played one zoi through most of the idol career track. The career gameplay is very similar to Sims 4, in that you go to your work lot and try to perform all your work tasks before the end of the day. Similarly to Sims 4, I didn’t feel like there was a meaningful sense of progression in my skills and career. I went from having 0 in the career relevant skills like singing and dancing to having them maxed out in, IIRC, a little over an in-game week, in which time I didn’t perform in any idol shows because that didn’t seem to be implemented: work was always training, never performing. (It’s possible this has been updated since I played, which was in April, or that performing is hidden behind the very last level of the career track, which I don’t think I reached.) Like Sims, you never struggle to advance a skill or have any kind of challenge to overcome, you can improve at anything indefinitely by practicing alone. I started a romance with a coworker, but it wasn’t very interesting: it didn’t cause drama at work, it didn’t affect how my other coworkers thought of me (which was mostly “not at all”), and it wasn’t clear to me if the other zoi had any skills, interests or hobbies outside of work. Similarly to the Sims, I think we were at the point where I could have proposed after only one date, which mostly consisted of hanging out at the park. It seems like, similarly to Sims, the actual game mechanics are fairly basic and you need to invent a good deal of your own fun.

I liked being able to customize items by importing textures. The AI texture generator isn’t any good, but the option to noodle around in GIMP and then put my texture on something in the game is neat. I also imported images to make custom posters for my zoi’s room. There is also an option to turn a photo of an object into a 3D model of a decoration to place in your house or wear as an accessory, which I had mixed results with but was at least novel.

So far, the critical component that the Sims clones lack is character. Sims understands that Sims are a bit different than real people and they go out of their way to make them quirky and a bit hyperbolic. The clones seem to try and be real life simulators which I would argue is difficult to actually make enjoyable. Real life is boring.

Boring for whom? Life is not boring at all. But I think I know what you mean

It means Matthew Costello created several puzzle ideas years before The 7th Guest, and some of those early concepts—like the maze and bathroom spiders—were later used in The 11th Hour.

Ah, nice. I destroyed my first one playing Sekiro; the trigger buttons are really awkward to get to pieces to replace the internals, and my replacement Steam controller is almost too valuable to use, since I can’t replace it any more.

Blaiz0r,

Same for me, Sekiro killed my left bumper and I tried to replace it using aluminium from a soda cab, but it hasn’t worked well 🙁

This is the 3D-printable replacement bumper mechanism I used in my controller. And by “I”, I mean my friend, who did the printing and installation for me. The click is a bit stiffer and sounds deeper than the original, but it works fine again.

Blaiz0r,

Yes that’s the bit! Thank you, I will look into using that, I’ve 2 controllers that have gone that way now.

Way back in the day, Tomb Raider, there was this pit, with a break away floor, and water beneath it.

Fell, hit the platform breaking her neck, then the platform dropped her in the water, twitching and drowning. It was horrifying!

This post feels extremely familiar to a post I saw a while ago. A quirky spin on wordle and some needlessly long AI-like text body. What’s going on? Has anyone else seen a different post that looks like this?

nyctre,

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was a different but similar game from the same person. Even the background story was the same or similar. So… maybe just new account

PlzGivHugs,

Yep. The post was removed, but I can still see the comment on my profile from two weeks ago:

The whole website seems to be just AI nonsense, and AI nonsense running at 2fps at that.

Edit: Also, the formatting on mobile is horrid
