5.1 sound system from DaLi (Danish Loudspeakers). Even the Oberon series is fine for ambience. Love losing myself in Zelda BotW and its weather effects. A good subwoofer adds a lot to the experience aswell.
I stopped looking into much new stuff beyond word of mouth, last I played was Neither, I think, and it was very disappointing that that didn’t go anywhere. neat that you can still run a server, though
I think the steam deck might be worth it for the sake of giving her the option to play stuff that’s isn’t on switch.
Like, sure, maybe she never ends up caring about anything but first party Nintendo originals. But, giving that option opens up a world of possibility.
I have a little cousin, he’s not exactly the most technical, not the most patient with such things, he calls me a lot for help with stuff. But he’s on a laptop instead of a switch or a console because he wanted to play modded Minecraft, i’ve seen him grow a lot in being willing to understand this stuff because he was given an opportunity and a reason to engage with it.
I would love to play this game, but the lack of a FOV option makes it entirely unplayable. I tried several times and within minutes I’m at the point of almost throwing up. I’ve never encountered another game with a FOV this bad, it’s pathetic!
Thank you! It’s been a lot of fun doing these. I’m just glad I’ve gotten a chance to talk about games I play. I like to help people broaden their horizons, and I think in a way this has helped me broaden mine too. There’s been so many people who have suggested new games and other stuff that it’s helped me try new experiences (ironic considering all the Halo it’s been lately though).
It was quite some time ago when I played the game, so I might not remember everything.
The story felt like it was a good continuation of the first title and somewhat tied in to the books/movies.
The combat was fleshed out more with more moves and weapons
more interesting uruks, personalities, afflictions they can developed as a result of the way you killed them first
the sieges were a cool addition
It was definitely more of the same in a way but it was executed well. There was that whole controversy around real-money loot boxes to pull good uruks from that you could employ to guard your fort, in a way being pay 2 win if you had money to spend on loot boxes. But at least that was removed and made free.
I just realised the game came out like 7 years ago. Where does the time go…
I always hear people praise the Shadow franchise, and not to put Mordor down, but get the feeling War is the one everyone is talking about, so I do plan on playing it. I know a bit about it and it sounds like a lot of fun
It’s pretty much the same game but better. Mordor feels a little more dated in comparison, but it still stands on its own compared to War. If you liked Mordor, you’ll definitely like War even more
I really wished there are more games that implement something like the gambit system from FF12. My dream game is some monster / pet collecting and battling game plus the gambit system from FF12. now if only n*ntendo wouldn’t be such an @ss…
Definitely a different kind of game than FF12, but the way the combat works reminds me quite a bit of gambits. Really fun game too, with beautiful art style.
Oh, it’s one of Vanillaware games with their distinct art style! Doesn’t seems to be released on steam though. Too bad because it seems like a perfect game to play on the steam deck.
Tanking with shields (force/kinetic shields in sci-fi games, not physical shields)
I liked when games let you face-tank damage with your shield (like in Mass Effect, before Andromeda where they made shields weak af and even removed shield gating) and not having to care for healing (unless you lose all your shields)
I don’t know if it’s due to the souls-like trend, but it feels like game developers need to make punitive games nowadays
Battlezone II had force shields. They used your vehicle’s weapon energy. The shields used energy, and also taking hits would drain your energy. You needed a ship with fast energy regen to make the most use out of them. One ship from the X-Mod mod, the Jade Falcon, could actually regenerate faster than the shields drained. So you could keep them on all the time, and still shoot some. It wasn’t invincible by any means, but that regen speed plus the fact that the radar ping twice as frequently made it my absolute favorite ship.
After many years I finished myself a few weeks ago! Nice gameplay, and funny you mention Arkham which I played for the first time also a month ago and it’s definitely recycled mechanics, which is good!
