Rimworld is one of those games I’m addicted to for like 2 weeks non-stop.
Then once I have 30 colonists and they can’t even keep the floor clean cuz I have too many things going on, I’m done because i know I’ll never “finish” anything. Even though every time I start that game I tell myself I’ll finally build the spaceship this time.
Nobody builds the spaceship. Nobody I know has ever built the ship, unless they were playing the save our ships mod (I think that’s the mod name IDK I don’t use that one) but then that’s not end game
I just accepted that I will only ever lose and it’s fine
It’s the most underwhelming finale in any game I’ve played. Completely pointless. You work your ass off to establish economy which can sustain building of a ship and then once you are done defending it, you get a black screen saying good job grunt. If they connected it with new game, say what you left the planet with is your new starting gear, then I could see it being more relevant. Kind of set it up for mods with extreme planets and stuff. So you have to prepare on more acceptable planet before going somewhere extreme. The way it currently is makes ending pointless.
Playing my first non-vanilla run with Krastorio right now, and it feels like I’m playing a whole new game. I can basically kiss my life goodbye… again.
That alone just adds the extra ores, and not too much else. Really good introduction to an easier overhaul mod. Takes.about 60 hours to finish at a first go
I am glad you got it working again, and thank you for warning me about the state of your mouse, I will bring some disposable gloves if I need to use it
Minecraft. There's always another automatic farm to create, a new cave to explore and a new mod to try out! Not to mention the fun that multiplayer brings...
I’m currently playing a modpack called Divine Journey 2 which I started back in the middle of October. 280 hours in and still in chapter 11 of the quest book (30 chapters in total) and it’s still addictive and enjoyable.
thanks for the recommendation! i have been slowly getting into modpacks. just tried this out for a few minutes and already look forward to exploring more tomorrow.
I’m very glad that you’re liking it so far. The tips you see at the bottom left of the world loading screens are actually very helpful so don’t miss them
Against the Storm. Really great roguelight (meta progression) city builder-esque. Has some Tropico vibes, but the replayability and mechanics are really good.
After my friends recommendation, I gave the cod mw trilogy a try. First one was good, but shows its age (thise red dot sights are awful).
2nd is great, and my favorite. Seeing a major conflict in the usa, dropping down in a small neighborhood, fighting for your life in a random burger restaurant, its great.
MW3 is good, but its hard to top usa being invaded. Loved Yuri tho.
I want to like Rimworld so much, but without mods it’s unplayable, and with them the game stops being fun. Rimworld misses something, I I can’t put my finger on it.
I loved the in-the-moment gameplay and the narrative arc they had going there for a while. Despite myself I’m still invested in some of the characters… but it’s one of those games where I really recognized how all-consuming the engagement treadmill I had been on once I stepped away. It’s probably a good thing for me that it’s in the shitter at the moment, or I could easily get lured back in.
Oh, and the r/DtG mods deleted my highly-upvoted Lightfall “lore/prediction” shitpost that was a massive wall of text winding up to an Attack on Titan pun, so fuck 'em.
Yeah. I’m so captured by the setting and enough of the characters that I’m seeing the light and dark saga through to the end, but I largely agree with the sentiment towards the game at the moment. I’ll let the studios next release come out and really gauge my interest carefully. Bungie has set my personal style for gamefeel and almost every game I enjoy, I enjoy due to its moment to moment similarity to destiny. Robo Quest, Metal Rising: Hellsinger, Bullets Per Minute, to name a few PvE based games.
That goes all the way back to playing halo on 2 original Xbox’s wired together in the attic of my friends barn at 3am, and even back to Marathon as a younger kid. On top of that, compared to pretty much every other major FPS title, the studio stands behind a lot of causes I align with. The representation in the game, and seeing myself and people like me present in destiny’s vision of the future un-ironically gives me a warm feeling.
I was just talking with some friends that an extraction shooter with world events the complexity of destiny raids would actually be super cool. A fireteam activates a raid (like sea of thieves forts) and begins diving into it, but then other teams can follow them in as the original groups clears encounters and puzzles. Maybe the teams following them in have some smaller scale mechanics to do, then there’s a heavy fight back out with whatever loot. Could make for the gameplay loop gambit could have been. I think the studio has potential to do the PvEvP really well, but we shall see.
