NuXCOM_90Percent, do games w Obsidian's Alpha Protocol is available again thanks to GOG

gog.com/…/alpha_protocol_is_back_drmfree_for_mode… is the actual announcement. And the Raycevick sponsored video is 100% worth watching as it very much acknowledges… Alpha Protocol is probably a bad game but it is still fascinating. And then pivots into a strong push for the preservation aspects of things.

Which is a stark contrast to the way that the usual “I downloaded the latest AAA game because i want to preserve it” pisses on the efforts.

Also, bonus points, Raycevick managed to get THE Matt Rorie to talk for like two minutes on his greatest contribution to society and gaming.

Renowned Fighting Scientist Matt Rorie?!

I don’t think he was ever a fighting scientist. That was Dr. Gerstmann, Dr. Oestreicher, and associate Pack.

The amount of my life that I have confused Jason and Matt is almost insufferable. I accept what a terrible person I am.

Here’s the video.

If you buy Backpack Battles you can get a copy of Slay the Spire for free … just sayin’. I mean I am totally not hoping for a lot of people to hop on Backpack Battles, so I will have a lot of people to play against forever. 😏 It has a demo, so no blind buying necessary. It is Early Access but worth every Cent in my eyes.

Dadlyni feel like I own everything I want. And will never play, ans bew games discounts aren’t worth it.

Sorry but Dragon’s Dogma 2 releases next week and I won’t need to buy any other games for a while after that.

@Infinite_Indecision@midwest.social avatar

Yes, but what if you just impulse buy 5 or so games that you might want to play someday before DD2?

rickyrigatoni,

My impulses are under control. My impulses are under control. My impulses are under control. My impulses are under control.

why is my credit card balance suddenly $500?

I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away. I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away. I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away.

OO $35 for every Yakuza game!

Somehow the game is 100$ Canadian, I really want to play it but i’m definitely waiting a while. Gonna mention Millenia, which comes out in 9 days and is an excellent looking civilization competitor, i’m definitely looking forward to that.

rickyrigatoni,

That looks neat. Wishlisted.

is it spring? i have completely lost track of the flow of seasons at this point. Its like the game of thrones weather but every other day instead of every ten to twenty years

Grabbed Fate of Ort. Never heard of it but I love small indie games.

With the state of free to play games, looking at you, the finals, I can’t justify buying games I’ll never even have time to play

…which is fine. The finals is great!

Kinakuta,

I’ve been curious about The Finals, it looks fun. Is it easy to get into? I worry about toxicity in multiplayer because I’m not great at team based games.

SlapnutsGT,

It’s a toxic hellhole

lud,

Well it’s multiplayer 🤷

SlapnutsGT,

Yeah sadly you can’t get away from it these days.

swordsmanluke,

This is why I loved thee Demon’s Souls approach - single player game with crowd sourced miniboss AI.

AFallingAnvil,
@AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca avatar

Turn off voice chat and have a great time :)

candid,

It’s excellent, and I mainly play with randoms. The toxicity not so bad if you accept the BS that comes with random partners. Personally I have only dealt with some shithead teens and one guy who got mad I kept healing him. You get quitters quite a bit like in any PVP game, but it fills quickly. I have voice chat disabled 90% of the time, since pinging is in the game. The destruction is peak physics destruction in a multiplayer game, some of my favorite moments in any game have come from the pure chaos of things falling apart in the Finals. They also added a new 5v5 mode that feels way less frustrating and more casual (to me at least).

I imagine it’s even better if you’ve got a trio of well coordinated players, I’ve certainly played against some nasty trios in my 80 hours. Personally I think this is the most unique PVP shooter out right now, and it’s extremely polished for F2P.

Kinakuta, (edited )

Thanks for the detailed reply, I think I’ll give it a shot! Glad to hear they added a 5v5 mode.

Just bought and played through Pony Island. $.75 and 2.5 hours later, a nice little experience.

Great game!

dinckelman,

Huge fan of that game. Can’t wait for the second one

swordsmanluke,

If you haven’t played it already - Inscryption - by the same author - is also really good.

… and I should lay off the emdash for the rest of the night.

candid,

I can second this, wasn’t into card games when Inscryption released but I was hooked on it until completion. Excellent game.

arefx,

Bought that game years ago as a joke and it ended up actually being a cool indie game lol

Finally gonna play the first 3 games of The Longest journey and Dreamfall. I am convinced Funcom are great story tellers but awful mmo creators. See Anarchy Online, The Secret World, Conan Exiles. Great story telling. Terrible mmos.

dumpsterlid,

Ohh I played those so long ago during a really difficult time of my life, they were definitely a fun escape and the story felt well suited to a point and click.

I loved Anarchy Online back in the day. I don’t think I ever did anything particularly in depth on it, but I remember being proud that I had an in game apartment and a flying car thing.

Arbic,

Secret world had such a good setting. Unfortunately it wasn’t a good MMO. But damn those riddles were cool. And I had to look up most of them because they were hard and you often needed outside sources.

I have some news for you…

Grabbed a bunch of yakuza games, been meaning to play those for a while.

I also got the Yakuza Collection just now after finshing Yakuza 0 a few weeks ago. 35 bucks for Yakuza 1 - 6 seems like a steal.

Passerby6497,

I’m installing Yakuza 0 on my steam deck now, I can’t wait!

Played most of it on my Deck and it ran well, enjoy. :)

I bought a cat game where you need to find and click 100 of them! They had cute noises and every single cat was named!

delitomatoes,

What’s the name of the game?

makes me think of this, but these are “free”?

cordlesslamp,

I think the DLCs cost money.

Goodbye, money.
