Fiivemacs, do gaming w What's the video game equivalent of fast food?

anything that claims to be AAA, or is made by a giant lifeless shit corporation

Panties, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 28th

Still playing Silksong, I should probably be getting to Act 3 now, but I’m procrastinating and trying to find more hidden places.

Krauerking,

I have been procrastinating and exploring every nook and cranny of that world. Its amazing how much it feels real and lived in. Like they have the whole thing figured out down to why some screws are more rusted than others.

I am so reluctant to start act 3 cause i already struggled with the first funeral. Its gonna break me i just know it.

Most mobile games. They follow one of a few basic formulae, they rarely have anything original, and they’re full of bloated ads and other garbage. But they know how to give that dopamine hit.

Hmm… I think this one is gonna be personal because people enjoy genres to varying degrees.

For me, it’s Konami’s PES (eFootball now, or FL2025 if you’re modding)

Start career mode, buy players, play a season, forget about it, and repeat like a month or two after. It’s a fairly mindless activity to me and I do it when I wanna give my brain a break.

Cookie Clicker (and clicker games in general)

I’m prepare to be hated for this one but …

Cyberpunk 2077. (At first I was thinking CoD but I’m no multiplayer player) There’s no new mechanics, if you know the source material there’s also nothing new. Dialogues are so so and the expansion story line is awful.

In my opinion it’s a basic game with a new gen console veneer, anyway I’ve played the story 2 times

ordnance_qf_17_pounder,

Amen to that. We Cyberpunk haters are few, but we do exist.

It’s diabolical how a Cyberpunk game can have such little customisation and such a shallow world with virtually nothing to do outside of missions.

renegadespork,

You’re allowed to not like the game, but “fast food?” It’s a massive RPG with AAA production and hundreds of hours of content.

“Fast food” would be short/shallow experiences that are just designed to be addictive like clicker games.

TribblesBestFriend,

Agree to disagree

Cyberpunk have clear gamification mechanics in it but that’s not the point.

Fast food food are easy to digest with low effort production, Cyberpunk don’t try to incentivize something new, it used mechanics that we have seen a hundred of times and clear story beats for all its plot points.

Don’t get me wrong, you’re allowed to have fun with it but there’s nothing new in there

renegadespork,

You’re clearly missing the point of OP’s post. This has nothing to do with novelty or creativity.

A steak isn’t original or avant-garde, but it’s certainly isn’t “fast food” even if you think the steak is cooked poorly.

I think you’re just conflating “shallow” with “bad”.

Bloons TD fits this for me, I play it when I’m too ill to think properly but still need something to pass the time

On the first picture, you could headcanon that’s for a planned future extension to the highway.

Ooh, that is an interesting idea. Isn’t 8’s version of the map a little different? Maybe after 21 years, at some point the expansion is finished and that’s actually what we’re driving on

As a plot and gameplay device i love when games with party mechanics remove the Main Protagonist from the party for a bit and have you control someone else.

Same! These moments always feel special. I also really love how Wall Market is depicted in this chapter.

Heh, that’s some interesting bits of exploration.

To nie pytanie, tylko komentarz. Dziecko lil masti nie ma jeszcze 2 lat, a już ma ślad internetowy. Dziecko to nie jest zwierzątko, z którego można robić kontent. Najgorsze w tym jest to, że istnieją ludzie z parafilią dotyczącą niemowląt dla który takie zdjęcia mogą być soft porno.

Czy nie bo się, że stworzone swojego rodzaju wyścigi szczurów o lajki, ale w którym to dzieci będą brały udział, będzie miał jeszcze gorszy wpływ na rozwój dziecka i jego postrzeganie świata?

Drugie pytanie, to jak on odpowie że odziera to dziecko z prywatności, samostanowienie, dziecko jest traktowane jak towar, jak atrakcja dla widzów. Co jeśli dziecko nie chce takiego życia, jeśli w przyszłości sobie nie poradzi w bardzo toksycznym świecie celebrytów i influ?

Worx, do games w I've been playing 'Ruby's Rebalanced HALO: CE' mod and it is fantastic.

I really don’t get the hate for the Library. It’s one of my favourite levels in CE. The Flood are a creepy and scary new enemy (on the first play-through at least…) who back you into a corner and attack relentlessly. You’re left fighting for your life with no way to retreat or charge past. It’s one of the rare times in the whole series where you’re forced to play defensively.

It’s also the level that introduces rocket launcher flood, wtf is up with them? So unfair that the enemies get such a good weapon!

It is tedious, with repeated samey layout and a limited selection of flood enemy types. The mod mixes up the environment and adds more flood enemy types for variety.

    I do, it’s copy paste. A lot of the game is.

    Now for the bad news, you are easily at the best part of an otherwise pretty mid game that fails in many ways that you wouldn’t expect from such an expensive title. This game is just troubled in so many ways that I couldn’t even really feel comfortable giving it a 7 out of 10 as it maybe deserves a 6.5 at best.

    HeyJoe, do games w Day 439 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Man, I am jealous of how much you get to play, lol. I am literally at the last hour of this game from when it first released, but I haven’t been able to finish it since… same goes for everything I play. I recently saw you going through the last of us 2, and it’s the same for that, but im only about halfway. List goes on and on and I haven’t picked up anything really in the last year that’s not a free monthly game.

    I think your post is going to motivate me. Im going to try and beat it this week and break my awful no finish streak.

    @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

    Doing these screenshots definitely has helped to give me a clear goal when completing games. Before i used to bounce around my backlog and not finish anything. Hell, i still do it from time to time lol
