I hate using AWSD as direction keys. I don’t understand why some games refuse to map the arrow keys to the same commands, but some don’t and it becomes up to me to manually set that right before playing anything.
It irritates me so much to me that if a game doesn’t let me change the key mappings, I’m probably going for a refund rather than play at all.
Oof, yeah I’m pretty picky about some keybinds and games that lock down keys can be almost unplayable.
Helldivers 2 doesn’t let you remap interact to F (which is the only muscle memory interact key I can use) and I haaaaate that so much. I had to get a workaround just to fix it.
So many people just open a game and play it, ignoring the settings.
The default controls in StarCraft 2 set you up for failure in custom games. Turning off simple command card and allowing the selection of enemy units helps a ton.
When playing interactive story games like until dawn, try to pick up everything in each room before continuing. Be nice to the animals!
Breath of the wild is more fun if you do the major dungeons in reverse order.
When playing with emulators let the game go through its idle intro card and listen carefully to the sound if it distorts or pops then your game is likely to be unstable try changing more options. Such as enabling interpreter mode for the audio.
When playing Super Mario World, don’t be afraid to explore the stages esp the boo mansions.
When a game offers Vulkan/dx12 mode, try it.
The Nintendo switch allows you to control the MTU of the wifi connection, adjusting this can help in poor connectivity situations.
Changing your DNS to a public provider such as Quad9 can help.
Investigating if you can enable ipv6 on your network can offer you some boons.
Confirming port forwarding is working for your games will help immensely in games that rely on that. (Also resolve any double NAT issues)
Do not attempt to game on a wifi repeater, only sadness follows.
Unless you are playing fallout 3 or New Vegas on era correct hardware there are mods to make it more stable.
Was getting all set up for another playthrough of New Vegas, mods and all (even made my own, though I ditched it last minute), and then I realised, “Wait, why am I doing this? I don’t actually feel like playing this at all right now, even with the new mods.”
So, now I’ve downloaded some stuff in my backlog, but don’t know if I’ll play any of it at the moment because I’m kind of burned out a little.
“This is the 1 game I would bring to a desert island”
“one of the most captivating puzzle games ever”
85%, 88%, 70%, a C to a B. That is just above average.
Meanwhile you get an absolute broken AAA piece of crap that barely functions, incoherant story, generic and boring and those same reviewers say “70-80%”. So there is a <10% difference between absolutely mastering a genre and releasing straight garbage?
IGN and its consequences have been a disaster for video game journalism.
“This game barely works. I had multiple game-breaking bugs during the tutorial. The art style is ugly, the music is annoying, the gameplay is generic and not fun at all, the graphics stutter constantly, and it tried to make me drink a can of mountain dew on camera to verify my purchase. We give it a 7… point 1.”
I am interested in the game series, but it looks like there are many points to start from. Myst 2021, realMyst Masterpiece Edition, Myst Masterpiece Edition, Riven, Riven 2024.
Seems like the starting point is a relatively controversial topic amongst fans. I thought of starting with Myst 2021, then playing the original Riven.
I don’t think it’s a big deal where you start. The latest iteration of Riven will likely be the most accessible and that’s probably what matters most if you’re just starting out.
Much of the appeal (for me at least) is that the storyline is a Tolkien-like epic story spanning thousands of years. Myst takes place before Riven, and if you wanted to consume it in chronological order you would start by reading the books (which are surprisingly good). But it’s fine to go back and “fill in the blanks” if you play in a different order. It’s like reading The Hobbit after you read The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Also note that Riven and Riven 2024 are the same story so there’s no need to play both of them. Same with Myst, just pick the most modern iteration of it. The versions that allow you to move and look around freely take away a lot of frustration with trying to make out what the world looks like and finding clues.
Something they didn’t fix for the Myst remake that the Myst-like Quern is much better at is not making puzzles so obscure as to essentially require a guide to complete the game. Was anything done about that problem for the Riven remake?
Well I suppose the issue is that not everyone sees the obscureness as a problem. I love the Myst games and quern, but I think it would be a bad idea to change the puzzles to be different. The Myst series is quite difficult to be sure, but that’s part of why I love them. I don’t think everyone needs a guide to finish, but if one does every now and then, is that really such a bad thing? For single player, whatever method of playing that gives you the most enjoyment is the correct way to play
Admittedly I did need a guide at times for Quern too; I think the best compromise is what Cyan did for Firmament and just include an optional hint system in the game itself. By avoiding the need to consult walkthroughs, not only would excessive spoilers be avoided, but the experience would remain self-contained, something especially important for a VR game.
I just beat this guy. Walked in with a colossal hammer and pancaked him. Took two tries because the first time I didn’t realize he didn’t turn into the fat one, but it was a summon instead.
I don’t really have much advice, really. Run sideways towards him when he spams projectiles, dodge into the big projectile, ignore his summons since your big hammer will hit them too anyway.
I haven’t had much issue with him. Using heavy weapons every attack staggers him, so you can pretty much stunlock him. Running right or left dodges most of his projectiles, his only dangerous attack is when he summons the fat enemy.
You can ignore his summons, they go away after some time. Just rush the boss down.
Lol thanks, so easy. My dumbass kept trying to play it safe hiding behind Graves to block. As soon as I went up close I got him 2nd try with ruins greatsword.
