Marvel: Midnight Suns went on sale this week, and is living up to the early positive reviews.

I’m not far enough in to say if it will rival similar games I enjoy, or will replace Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance.

But the early game is fun, and the mechanics feel like they may get better as the learning curve and progress hit full gear.

Edit: And it’s already fun, in the early game.

I need to try it again. I used a mod that mucked things up and turned even simple battles into nearly impossible fights due to poor scaling

MajorHavoc,

It might not have been the mod, honestly.

The difficulty curve is all over the place, even unmodded.

Katana314,

I liked the card tactics, but I got very quickly bored of all the story conversations; given the way they seem to be connecting to the most obscure Marvel comic lore and characters. I’m sure it’s amazing to some people, but I could not give less of a shit who the “Original Midnight Suns” were, or even the lore behind my playable character.

Maybe when I return to it I’ll just start skipping any dialog not related to the core story.

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!

Aganim,

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.

Jokes on you op. When I get into a series I always go back to the start of it.

I try to do that too. Friends think I’m crazy for starting final fantasy from the beginning.

Valve will never have this issue.

Can’t play all of them except the first two if there’s only two

I’m replaying Baldurs Gate 3 again. Now with even more mods, bringing my total of “nope, can’t possibly play without that one” into triple digits 😄

FenrirIII,
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Are there any mods to bypass annoying puzzles or remove exploding barrels and shit?

Viking_Hippie,

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.

That would be such a boring DLC. If she lives, she finishes casting Holy, which stops meteor a whole disk earlier.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks, (edited )

That’s not how holy works…

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.

Still on Like a Dragon 8: Inifinte Wealth.

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.

I still remember the forest trees and the cream Porsche in the point to point, no damage level.

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.

NounsAndWords,

Alternate timeline spinoff game where she kills Sephiroth and goes on her own sword-based action RPG a la Metal Gear Rising.

I recently set up a home Minecraft server, so I’ve just been enjoying the Vanilla+ experience

NimbleSloth, do games w The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion

Last Epoch. Loving it so far!

SaintWacko,

Oh yeah, I need to try that!
