jjjalljs, do games w "Modding is pretty big" says Baldur's Gate 3 director as over 1m mods are installed in less than 24 hours

Fingers crossed for total conversions. Give me some non-5e rule systems. (Unlikely, I know. Double unlikely to get anything other than maybe Pathfinder, but I can hope)

LouNeko,

Or importing new maps and characters, imagine somebody porting the Resident Evil Mansion or Raccoon Police Station with the Resident Evil Characters. Playing Resident Evil 1 with 5e rules would certainly be something. People have already done it with Men of War Assault Squad 2.

TachyonTele,

I read somewhere the modding tools are extremely limited because the DnD company doesn’t want people to mess too much with the game.

Someone already figured out how to “unlock” the full thing.

Should we tell them about the Pathfinder thing?

Honestly all I want is to replace Laezels nipples with floppy peens. It’s all I ask for. It’s all I want. I love Baldurs Gate 3 but it’s missing this. I cannot hope to be satisfied fully in any other way. Im a reasonably happy guy with a reasonably good life but if someone was to make this I’d pay BIG money. I’m talking more than $5.

thesporkeffect,

I didn’t know I wanted this but now it’s all I can think about.

Did not expect to see ddp doj on the list, kind of respect that. It’s a good pick if you had to choose one shmup.

I reinstalled BG3 just because I heard about mods coming to console.

I bought it at launch. Played it until my saves deleted themselves right at the start of Act 3. I was broken. It was such a slog for me to get that far. I had to Claw for every inch of progress.

With mods tho. I can cheat. And boy I love cheating. I grew up with Action Replay, GameShark, Game Genie, etc. I’ve missed them terribly.

Ardyssian,

Did you ever find out how your saves got deleted? Been facing save-related troubles with a similar impact when cross playing between PC and ROG Ally

frigidaphelion,

I dont have an answer, just want to commiserate as I also had two different characters vanish to corruption or some such

RangerJosie,
@RangerJosie@lemmy.world avatar

I just heard that right after launch it started happening and apparently they fixed it without much fanfare. At least on single platforms. Like I’m just on Xbox.

Dozzi92,
@Dozzi92@lemmy.world avatar

Play the games how you want to have fun, and anyone who says otherwise is dead wrong. I’ve dabbled in “cheating” myself, whether it’s giving myself 60 pts for starting traits in Zomboid, or building really unbalanced maps in AoE II and preventing the computers from ever advancing, it’s fun to sometimes modify the rules to benefit me unilaterally.

RangerJosie,
@RangerJosie@lemmy.world avatar

Games are about fun. As long as you’re having fun then where’s the harm?

I don’t play online games much. And I’ve never even tried to cheat when I did. I know the difference.

But if it’s a single player game and I’m having trouble? Hell yeah I’ll cheat. Proudly.

Dozzi92,
@Dozzi92@lemmy.world avatar

Oh yeah, I wouldn’t cheat if I were playing with other humans, but sometimes I want to explore depths of a game that time just doesn’t permit, so I gotta skip the grind and get right to the part where I’m unkillable. And yeah, if you’re having fun, that is the point!

FordBeeblebrox,

It bothers me that stuff like GTA V or Red Dead doesn’t have cheat codes. Memorizing the whole list for San Andreas made you a god when playing with your friends and taking turns. Single player should let you turn on all the wacky physics and crazy mechanics you want

rickyrigatoni,

I am a singleplayer cheater, and all the times in the past that I lost massive progress because of glitches and crashes is one of the major contributing factors to it.

Some really weird picks here. A few standout bad takes:

  • Diablo 4
  • Football Manager
  • AC Odyssey
  • Mario Kart 8
hasnt_seen_goonies,

I have no knowledge about diablo 4, but I think the others are really fun games in their genre?

Sylence,
@Sylence@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I think there is a stark distinction between “really fun” and “one of the best games ever”. This list contains almost nothing which pushed against the barriers of gaming either now or in the past.

hasnt_seen_goonies,

I thought the story in ac Odyssey was very unique with how it prioritized the morality of the time and contrasted it with our modern day morality, and I spent plenty of hours really enjoying that world. Probably my favorite large open world to date (but that is entirely personal preference). I do think Mario kart 8 is the best kart racer ever, and definitely deserves to be on the list for that alone.

Stovetop,

I’d say Mario Kart 8 deserves recognition, but agree with the other ones.

PunchingWood,

There are no bad takes, they’re personal preference. Not everyone likes the same game or genre.

I know people who play Football Manager and Diablo religiously. While I enjoyed Odyssey for a while. Also tons of people still play Mario Kart 8, it’s a fun game for the right audience (not me).

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Very interesting selection. Desperados III made the list, and Street Fighter 6 appears to be the only fighting game.

essteeyou,

Unless I missed it multiple times, I’m amazed that Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t on the list at all but something like Mini Motorways is. No offense to Mini Motorways, but RDR2 was a mind-blowing game for me.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

For me and many others, it was a very divisive one, so I’m not so surprised by that. I guess Eurogamer is staffed by a lot of the game’s detractors, which is possible. Hell, if it was me making the list, #1 with a bullet would be Skullgirls, but that’s not here either.

filister,

Same with Witcher 3. That was an amazing game. Or Skyrim 5.

Skyrim 5: The Elder Scrolls

daddy32,

There are FIVE Skyrims already?!?

smeg,

Smash Ultimate is on there too

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, you’re right.

simple, do games w The Eurogamer 100

Definitely a lot of oddballs here. Why is Grow Home on the list when Grow Up, the sequel, is literally the same game but so much better?

Also pokemon go being in a top 100 list. Hilarious.

And am I reading this right, there isn’t a single Bioshock game here? Kinda expected more from Eurogamer.

GoodEye8, do games w The Eurogamer 100

I’m going to give my probably controversial opinion. I don’t think Animal Crossing New Horizons should be on that list and the main reason it got critical acclaim is because it released at the height of Covid. Had it released any other time people would’ve seen that it’s a shallow game where in long term it’s mostly a repetition of the same menial actions. There’s nothing wrong with repetition, but having to check the store every day isn’t exactly the peak of compelling gameplay.

Ashtear,

This is 100% an “it’s just not for you” situation. I mean, it’s not really my thing either, but it’s literally the best selling game ever in Japan. That’s not just the pandemic.

GoodEye8,

I agree the genre isn’t exactly for me, but I don’t think that’s really relevant. Stardew Valley and Sims more or less fall in the same genre and I loved Stardew Valley and could see the appeal of Sims. I don’t have an issue with those games being on the list but New Horizons just felt shallow. Outside of collecting things for the Museum there really wasn’t anything that engaging. I remember also checking if I’m just playing it wrong and the sentiment from the AC vets was that the gameplay of New Leaf is better.

I did a quick check to see New Horizon is still in the same state as I remember and some people are claiming the 2.0 update made the game better so I guess I’ll give it another shot one day. Maybe my opinion is dated because I haven’t really played since 1.3 update.

PunchingWood, (edited )

It’s one of those typical games that I tried because the entire world was lyrical about it, including grown adults. Figured I gave it a shot (as a grown adult myself) and it was indeed during the time we had fuck all to do. Didn’t like the game at all and frankly didn’t see the appeal of it either, it’s fine if people enjoy that kind of gameplay, but it was the most bland and “do your daily chores”-game I’ve ever played. It’s baffling how something so stale was regarded so highly.

    This is me. I don’t give a single fuck about achievements, unless ive really enjoyed myself and (usually) only if I’m most of the way via my regular playthrough. Requiring multiple playthroughs is an immediate turn off, too many other games to get to lol.

    Does anyone have any mod recommendations?

    MarcomachtKuchen,

    So far the mod selection seems rather shallow but more and more are coming every day

    The mystic class seems really cool

    That’s been a thing since before the official mod tools.

    bane_killgrind,

    Halsin and Astarion would be modest Ds I think

    Gale however, F minimum

    Canadian_Cabinet,

    Look on the main page of Nexus mods. A ton of older mods are being updated for patch 7

    WadeTheWizard,
    @WadeTheWizard@fedia.io avatar

    Better Hotbar 2 is basically mandatory for casters. The of the Longstrider/Jump aoe mods are convenient. Kay's Hair Extensions and P4 Bangs Everywhere are nice if you really like customizing characters. I don't they've been updated to patch 7 yet, but a lot of the class/subclass mods are worth getting; Cleric Subclasses, Rogues Extra, Hexblade, Artificer. sumradagnoth8 and havsglimt on nexus mods have a bunch. 5e spells is also a must have.

    Ashtear, do games w The Eurogamer 100

    Hrm, kind of an odd mix of classics and recent releases that aren’t going to be remembered five years from now. That said, I’m just glad Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is on here. It’s a wonderful hidden gem that barely gets talked about. I don’t even like puzzle games much, but the gorgeous pixel art and soundtrack helped me get really into it.

    I’m also reminded that I need to get back to Citizen Sleeper. Was very surprised by it when I tried it (before I got sucked into Honkai: Star Rail).

    RightHandOfIkaros, do gaming w The Eurogamer 100

    Stopped when I saw “The Last of Us Part II Remastered.”

    This is an advertisement.

    essteeyou,

    Surprise, a ranked list of games leads to controversy.

    RightHandOfIkaros,

    They could have just put the normal LoU2 and I wouldn’t have batted an eye. I didnt like LoU, but putting the Remastered version is just straight up shilling. It didn’t need a remaster in the first place considering the remaster came out only a few years later with barely any changes.

    essteeyou,

    Yeah, I tend to agree with that.

    If I was looking for a game to play right now, and The Last Of Us 2 was my choice, I’d go with the remaster over the original though. I think most people would, so I think it’s a good recommendation.

    Just waiting for the achievement reenabling mod so I can play with some of the real nice QoL tweaks

    CosmoNova,

    I have doubts you will find it in their official mod loader at any point and have to use an external source instead.

    MonkderVierte,

    Why do they always disable achievements in modded games? Just let me cheat on singleplayer, not your beer.

    cmhe,

    The achievement enabling is part of the script extender

    Can I make my own campaign yet?

    jawa21,
    @jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    That’s what I want out of the game, really. A full toolkit a la Neverwinter Nights.

    CosmoNova,

    Read through the documentation of their newly released modding toolkit and find out, I guess.

    cmhe,

    Yes, but not with an unmodified toolkit, which opens levels as read-only, and disallows creating new levels. But there is a patch for the toolkit on nexusmods which unlocks the toolkit and makes the map editor and other stuff available. If you know what you are doing, you should be able to edit the main campaign or make your own.

    I played around with it a bit, and all I can say, its complicated.

    Poach, do games w "Modding is pretty big" says Baldur's Gate 3 director as over 1m mods are installed in less than 24 hours
