spongy bosses don’t always mean they’re challenging. I can’t count how many times I’ve fought a boss who isn’t hard or interesting but just wastes time cause they have a ton of health.
I love my older retro games, like I’m a huge Metroid fan, but jebus to Betsy, they fall for this trapping all too often.
I don’t fault them, those were the Wild West of gaming when devs were still figuring things out, but damn does it make going back to older games a bit rough.
Your work is always so sick. Love the attitude in your work; it’s so angular, and aggressively posed. The line work is beautiful. The shadows are so deep and so clean. Very impressive stuff, you’ve clearly worked hard!
Altho CoD and GTA are my main games I still play other things and I have like, 251 games on my Steam account, and countless others outside of it… Like, you do not need to restrict yourself to only yearly release triple A stuff… Those games get boring eventually.
please download and install the new launcher. please login to the new launcher. your login does not work, please go to the website to reactivate your account. you must restart your system to reset the launcher login screen. please wait a full minute for the launcher to finish loading. please wait thirty seconds for us to process your login credentials. please wait fifteen seconds for us to begin the process of launching the game.
Games with bird sounds. This wouldn’t be too bad if i could turn them down or off but because of this I can’t play some games or spend time in specific areas of some games because it make my birds go crazy because they think there’s another bird in the house.
I wish we could individually turn up or down all of the different elements if sounds not just music/sfx/voice etc
I have eustachian tube issues that make most headphones very uncomfortable. Not only that I’ve always seen it weird to do that when I have a TV and a good sound system in my living room to use.
The idea that this same person would actually play something with as much soul as Until Dawn is pretty unbelievable. Can you believe they have like, emotions and crap? Plus just so much talking, I mean come on. They don’t even have a BattlePass!
Currently enjoying emberward. I really liked dungeon defenders and I played hundreds of hours of that. Kingdom rush. There’s a more mobile-like game islet defender or something. Gemcraft? I didn’t like bloons or plants vs zombies… Oh well, those are the ones I liked and if you have any recommendations glad to hear em.
Gemcraft is pretty crazy. Once you learn that combining gems in different order change how they upgrade. Had to use a small program to optimize that. It is so much fun but forever since I played so… I would suck now.
I have BG3 and I’ve played through a handful of times…I can’t bring myself to finish. I keep going back. I recently bought Divinity. I’ll add the rest to my list. =)
Yeah! 1000%. That sounds like a blast. Now I have motivation to work on a computer that can handle it. A lot of my little sim games aren’t very taxing. BG3 makes it overheat.
You can undervolt and TDP limit CPUs and GPUs to get that!
On GPUs, you can often get 90% of the FPS for like 60% of the power consumption, since AMD/Nvidia push clocks so hard. Download MSI afterburner, run its “OC curve” utility for an easy but optimal and safe undervolt, and then cap the max power at like 75% of whatever it normally is. Or cap the max clocks, which is what I usually do.
Unhide the “Processor Performance Boost Mode”, and set it to enabled or disabled (instead of the default aggressive).
Let me emphasize that this is safe, and not an overclock.
Basically all modern CPUs and GPUs overclock themselves, boosting higher and higher until they operate at like 80C+ steady state. It’s kinda stupid. Hence, all these tweaks do is get them to stop boosting so hard, so they run at efficient clocks that don’t overheat your machine.
Cool! reply/PM or whatever if you have questions, possibly multiple times since Lemmy sometimes misses notifications, heh.
And I don’t mean to shoot down the possibility of new parts! This is just a good workaround for overheating, far beyond what FPS limiting will net you. And it’s honestly a good thing to do on any hardware you may have, as it saves power and extends its life.
Yeah for sure. This is a new thing for me to learn. If it can extend the life of this computer I can use it for work/experiment with alternative operating systems xD. And be able to use it again for gaming? Win/win.
*I do feel like I play BG3 wrong and that’s why I can’t finish it. I’ve never formed a single relationship with any of the party members XD
Yeah, relationships were weird on my one run. I think I accidentally turned Will down after accidentally pursuing him, and never got the door to any of the others?
Divinity shows you why Wizards of the Coast went with Larian. At the time I played it popped as a game that had a lot of developer love, after seeing a lot of decline within the industry.
Oh, x_x…well…that would be another reason. Sure. Or accidentally going left instead of right and losing the optimal route with the power-ups. Or my eyes played a trick and the ghost is gonna eat me and now I’m running and they’re all chasing me!
Can I get one last ghost before the power-up runs out? Oh no I have one more corner because I messed up…why does the music sound like a heart attack?
You got lucky… A lot of people haven’t, it’s pretty much completely RNG depending on your ISP. And my internet is not slow at all (500 Mbps down/250 Mbps up fiber with a decent ONU) so I’m just confused.
It got a LOT better after the last update, but the fact it took this long is absurd.
Yeah it seems to be a desync between client/server that can happen depending of your ISP. I once turned on the event graph and recorded an entire match on OBS while trying to get in as many gunfights as possible. I had 153 client hits (AKA hit markers that went off on MY end) but only 98 server hits!! The server ate almost TWO entire magazines of hitmarkers…
When a game rereleases with an enhanced version or remake and it ruins the atmosphere. Been playing SMT Strange Journey Redux, and the new artstyle feels so generic and bland compared to the OG Strange Journey. The original had this kind of dark and oppressive atmosphere that Redux is sort of missing. Its really minor, since Redux does add a ton of stuff, so its probably still the better way to play, but that original tone just isnt the same.
The fact that games act like climbing doesn’t exist. You reach a path blocked by a small rock that any normally able bodied human could climb and it just pisses me off.
Like Pokémon games with a rock you could easily just walk around but noooo you gotta travel to this other town to get a special item or learn a special skill to get around this thing you could easily climb over or walk around.
It’s even worse in VR games. As much as I love Half Life Alyx, there were certain barriers that are literally just a pile of rubble or a chain link fence.
