Granted I haven’t played them since they first came out, but far cry was great and the second one was ground breaking. The second one also started the trend of memorable, nuanced villains with the Jackal.
It’s kinda why I hated farcry 5. Joseph seed wasn’t nuanced, he was a religious zealot with no redeeming qualities, and since I despise religion I found him insufferable and not interesting. Also the bad guy in 6 was pretty straight forward and boring
A lot of people meme about the malaria in Far Cry 2 as being annoying but personally I hated the instantly respawning checkpoints wayyy more. Getting the malaria pills side quest adds to the flavour and danger of the land, and like 1 button prompt once in awhile, while not ideal, isn't the worst and can add into the tension when if flairs up at the wrong time.
But clearing a checkpoint, realising you made a wrong turn, turn back and needing to fight at the same checkpoint again? Gah!
Yeah, same for me. Those constantly respawning checkpoints killed immersion for me and took away all sense of progress. What’s the point of clearing them if you already know it will repopulate within moments anyway.
Not mods per se, but there’s walk-through guides living up to their name by walking you through every step of every puzzle. As someone who loves CRPGs but is absolutely awful at puzzles, they’ve saved me countless hours in BG3 alone, let alone game’s in general.
An example search string would be “Baldurs Gate defiled temple puzzle”
As for the barrels, I can’t find one about those specially, but the Fair Fire mod removes unavoidable fire damage fromsurfaces, so that might be of interest 🙂
League of Legends: I try to get diamond before Riot removes Linux support.
Mushy Score: I a lot of testing before releasing the game.
Spiritfarer: Just to have something relaxing alternative.
Witcher 3 Quit smoking and drinking a few months ago and been going through my backlog to keep my mind busy. Started with Skyrim, then assassins creed Valhalla and now Witcher.
Not sure what I’ll do next. I have fallout 4, assassins creed origin and odyssey. All these games I’ve started and never finished and would like to finish.
In the game, she succeeded in casting it before her death. The reason there’s another disk is Sephiroth is preventing it from working. So Cloud et al go deal with him, then holy happens, end of game. If she survives, not much changes at that level.
I’m about 45h in. So far I’ve completed most side stories, the Pokemon League and I’m now doing Dodonka Island. Still have most of the main story before me, didn’t even had a fourth party member for close to 35h. It’s still great.
Aerith is my favourite character in the remake and nobody else comes close, I hate that I’d be seriously tempted to get this DLC. I’d pay to have her Mikiri counter the blow and shove that sword back up his ass.
Hell I dread the event so much, I don’t even know if I want to buy Rebirth: I could just pretend it ends at the first part.
The somewhat new Deep Rock Galactic: Survivors. Its a singleplayer 2D horde autoshooter version of the game, with the same design / voice acting as the main game but randomized runs where you find different upgrades and weapons leading to lots of cool valid builds to go for.
Its in Early Access rn but if they devs put 10% of the love they have for the main game into it, then it will only become greater. Its 9€ rn and the devs already released a roadmap with great future plans.
Yeah youre right, the original devs hired another team to develop survivors apparently, i didnt know that. However the publisher for survivors is “Ghost Ship Publishing” so i assume the creative direction is still heavily influenced by the ghost ship team but i have no idea if thats true.
Nice. I’m rooting for Survivor to succeed, from the sidelines.
I’m not going to bother while it’s single player, but I’m cautiously optimistic for a multiplayer variant of DRG:Survivor in the future, should they make one.
It strikes me that a DOTA style game, built for the DRG player base, could be a ton of fun, and Survivor might grow in that direction.
I can’t be bothered by most current DOTA clones because their communities are famously toxic. Of course, I’m sure there’s already exceptions, but I’m not so desperate for a DOTA that I’ll do the research.
In any case, bringing the DRG community to a DOTA clone sounds like a good time. So I’ll keep an ear out for how Survivor develops.
