Space Station 14.

Frontier station gameplay: This game is intentionally complex. Gettimg a space suit on? Don’t forget your oxygen mask. …and helmet. …and to make sure the oxygen’s on. …and that you have grav boots. …and that they’re on.

Grab an ore bag in one hand, pick in the other, and start breaking rocks. If you’re lucky, you can get with a good captain and make some dough.

But honestly, i usually get paid more working as a janitor for the station. Or as a bartender, mixing up various drinks, if it’s a good day and people are tipping well. I’ve been trying to run my own food truck, but it seems mostly what I do is die.

…but, then there’s sitting at the bar after a good run, drinking and playing music. You can join in a midi band, or play your own uploaded song. Dance with people, or drop banana peels and watch ‘em slip. It’s a good tune to be alive.

Regular SS14 play: Or, try to do the above. But the station is faced with some awful inevitable catastrophe. Serve drinks and secretly dose them with hallucinogens, until the zombies come, or terrorists with nukes, or alien artifacts that do… …Things. Or join sec and try to keep the station going by dealing with whatever threats there are (including errant bartenders slipping drugs into peoples’ drinks), or at least evacuate the people. …and anyone could be a bomb-packing terrorist.

Or be a hamster. Or, y’know… Anything you want to.

All amazing. God of War has such a wonderful moving story and great combat. Horizon Zero Dawn is an expansive open world game with also a great story. It also has a lot of additional info in discoverable content, like logs to read and sound clips. So, it depends on how deep you want to dive, but I’d recommend both those games. God of war is more challenging on higher difficulties. I loved them both. Probably Horizon Zero Dawn just a little better than God of War, but then, I loved God of War Ragnarok more than Horizon Forbidden West.

Wow, surprised nobody recommended God of War. It’s by a mile better than any other game in the franchise, won game of the year if memory serves right. And then when you play that one you get to roll into Ragnorok which is arguably even better.

paultimate14,

Do you need to have played the earlier games for it?

I got this with my PS4. I already had the GOW 1&2 collection for PS3, so I figured I’d beat those and maybe get 3 first. But the first game is… rough. I’d say it hasn’t aged well, but honestly I don’t think it holds up to its contemporaries well.

I played it on-and-off for a few years now and finally beat it a couple weeks ago. I’m debating if I even want to bother with the 2nd game now.

wcSyndrome,

It’s not required to play the previous games, there is some reference to them and the emotional impact of one scene may be diminished but that’s about it. I’m sure there are video recaps you can watch if you decide to skip the previous titles

LittleTarsier,

I would say no. The earlier games are very very different types of games. If you played the earlier games, I think you’ll appreciate Kratos’ journey more but it’s not necessary, imo.

TooMuchDog,

Definitely not, I played GoW 2018 first. I loved it so much that I went back and played every other previous GoW before GoW Ragnarok came out. The others are very different (but still very fun) games, and it definitely makes you appreciate Kratos’ story better, but they are by no means essential.

Wermhatswormhat,

Like everyone said, nope not at all. I played a couple of them, but there’s a nifty YouTube video chronicling his journey in Greece!

Just finished playing Dawncraft(a “souls like” Minecraft mod) multiplayer with a friend, and we called it a day after we killed >!notch!< and then got wrecked by >!“divine elementals”!<. Back to Disco Elysium now.

Im_Randy_Butter_Nubs,

I’ve installed this but haven’t touched it yet. It’s meant to be pretty good.

Back to Apex Legends. Lot more casually this time. I’m a lot worse than I was, but still good enough to win a lot of fights.

Also trying to pick up CS2, but I forgot how bad my precision aiming is

quiterather,

Getting back into Apex here too, after having rage-uninstalled the game during season 15 lol

Advance Wars By Web

Advance Wars is an old turn based strategy game, for the GBA (Game Boy Advance), and AWBW is a fan site to play AW online.

I’ve gotten pretty into it ever since Advance Wars Reboot was announced, and being able to play it in the web browser means I frequently find time to play…

Ironically I don’t play the actual AW Remake because in classic nintendo style the multiplayer is extremely lacking, only being able to play with players added to friends list, not being able to upload/download maps except to friends, and extremely limited map sizes for online maps

Chee_Koala,

Thanks for sharing, I’m doing a replay of it AW1 on my Steamdeck so I can play Advance wars 2 after (which I never played bfore)! Never knew about this website, gotta check that out!

ioslife,

AWBW is awesome. I’ve been playing WarBits+ with my friend for over a year now (it is in Alpha/Beta stages). Check it out on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2338990/Warbits/

If it looks interesting to you, they have a Discord you can join to get access to the beta.

Astaroth,

Neat, we need more games like AW and Wargroove

Cyberpunk 2077. My second playthrough. First one with ver. 1.0 and it was painful

JoeKrogan,
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Its still on my list to play. Having played initially , what are your thoughts on the update ?

evilgiraffe666,

Not that person, but the update is really good.

Throwing weapons are decent to use now (they were awful when they were added). I like the new skill tree and while I’m feeling a bit constrained by the cyberware limits I can see how it would make me feel much more powerful if I built towards it, instead of just having ED and SC limits I can easily exceed.

Thanks for the info 😉👍

Started to play for the first time on Friday. Bought it after watching the anime. I am 30 hours in, it’s great but a little overwelming. So many things to do, to collect and upgrade…

Titanfall

There’s no wrong choice there.

crius, do games w Having trouble deciding what game to play next . which one of these games should i try

Titanfall 2 has a great gameplay and surprisingly good story with the added bonus to not try to lock you in for 300 hours for no reason with stupid boring side quest or “activities”.

I would start with that.

Voroxpete,

Agreed. Titanfall 2, then Horizon next.
