Fallout 4! I’m playing on Survival mode for the first time and having a lot of fun. I have a ton of mods installed too, but nothing to make it easier really lol

I’ve found that mods like iHUD, removing the cash register sound for XP, directional pipboy light, flashlights, darker nights, and storms (these can be set to be just visual rather that radiation inducing) all help make the game more immersive without dramatically changing the difficulty.

I do enjoy the health rebalancer which removes scaling health and instead makes some enemies baseline tougher and some weaker. IIRC it also makes headshots on humans instant death. No more blasting away at some scaled raider as they just keep attacking.

Recostuming the Minute Men in something closer to surplus military clothes makes them instantly less lame.

Also replacing all the pipe guns with weapon packs of real world handguns and machinepistols is for me nessesary, as I do not at all enjoy the FO4 pipegun designs.

Finally, the backyard bunkers mod allows a bomb shelter with a hatch you can place inside a settlement. Going inside moves you to a private space. NPCs won’t barge in and it’s a safe place to store extra gear.

Fridgeratr,

Replacing pipe guns and re-clothing the minutemen sound like good ideas! I’ll have to look into those

I prefer a bottle of that old Janx Spirit.

I bought several Infocom games in their day, I think HHGTTG was the only one I ever finished.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You finished it?!

Davel23,

Yup. As I recall it was kind of a school-wide effort, with kids relaying solutions of various puzzles to each other until we had enough to complete the game. I do recall working out the Babelfish puzzle on my own, though I also neglected to feed the dog at the beginning of the game soft-locking myself on at least one playthrough.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That was the most frustrating part of the game- finding out that you should have done something else ages ago and now you can never finish even though it let you keep going.

I never got far in this game because I was too young. I’d love to give it another go.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I spent days on it. I did finally get the Babel Fish. I think with help by talking about it with friends who had solved other parts of the puzzle… but it got even harder after that!

spoilerFirst you had to put together the improbability drive, then you jumped into different characters’ bodies and had to survive in their bodies AND bring back the items you need to make it an infinite improbability drive and I didn’t get past that, but apparently after that, you land on the planet Magrathea and you have to figure out how to get the door open and that’s where the game ends.

Hyperreality,
surewhynotlem,

Oh god, it’s just as hard as I remember.

Thanks!

Total war Warhammer 3, been playing with a group of 6 in a campaign. Mainly just been doing beastmen and empire. But been getting into some DLC races so they’ve been a lot more challenging.

Been playing Sons of the Forest. Visually stunning, this is good looking game. I like how it can be played as a shooter or an adventure or base building or combination of all three. The map is huge, backstory mysterious and the atmosphere is incredibly immersive, particularly in the caves which are creepy AF.

HotPurplePeach,
@HotPurplePeach@lemmy.world avatar

How does it compare with the original Forest? I liked that game, but after you explore all of the caves there’s not much to do. Building is fun, but I think some stronger enemies were needed.

BilboBargains,

It’s an improvement. The enemies continually increase in strength and number. More weapons and the map is bigger. I’m avoiding using the cheat maps for the most part and it feels like it would take a very long time to complete. I’m playing it on normal difficulty.

The game is still in beta for another month and building options are somewhat limited, which I assume will be expanded. If you liked the original, this one makes a lot of sense.

@HotPurplePeach@lemmy.world avatar

Great, thanks for the info. I’ll give it a go at some point :)

This tickled a half-forgotten memory. I was into a few "ASCII" "game engines" when I was a kid, ZZT and MZX. There was definitely a Hitchhiker's game on one of those. Doubt it was official, of course.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe an unofficial sequel?

amio,

Almost definitely just some random guy making an homage. I think the games/engines were pretty niche themselves.

xyguy, do games w Earth will be destroyed in 12 minutes...

Wow! Spoilers much?! I can’t believe they spoiled the “Beer Ending” in the trailer…

I will say though that even though I know it will just be a text adventure, I kid of want to play it now.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly, if you like text adventures, despite the difficulty, it’s one of the most entertaining ever. Douglas Adams himself wrote most of the text, so even if you don’t get very far, it’s all funny.

SnotFlickerman,

Starship Titanic is similarly incredibly under-rated, as is the companion novel written by Monty Python’s Terry Jones.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t read the novel, but I have played the game. When I played it, it was new, and it was really slow to load levels, which made it kind of a pain to play, but I did restore a good 3/4 of the ship robot thingy’s face.

And my god the parrot was annoying.

Warframe has been consuming basically all of my game time. It took a long time of playing off and on for it to really click with me like it has now where Ive stuck with it. I’m actually a bit glad though because it’s left this ocean of different things in the game I can do and it’s been great.

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

I would have been playing baldurs gate 3 with my buddy who is on vacation and has only his mac book, but because of the differing versions, because mac version is behind by two weeks, and steam needing to have the up to date version of the game, we can’t…

Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. Been in an SF6 slump so changing it up has been refreshing. Not super into the anime style of it but the gameplay is incredibly fun. Its also a really well put together game with a good single player and a Fall Guys rip off thats also really fun.

Also old school runescape because the grind never ends.

I’ve been playing some Terraria recently with friends. I still don’t really have too much of an idea what I am doing to be honest. Seems like a game that would be hard to beat without the wiki. It is fun though since I have some help, hope I can continue learning.

MrGerrit,

I’ve tried it a few times and I have no idea what I’m doing. It seems like a fun game but I’m overwhelmed with everything it’s got to offer.

Think I’m going to use a beginners guide the next time.

@DagonPie@lemmy.world avatar

The wiki is your best friend. When we started we were clueless but it really does a good job of hooking you in. Keep giving it time and you will enjoy it! Eventually it will start to click.

Re4 remake. Pretty good so far, but Ashley is such a pain.

DagonPie,
@DagonPie@lemmy.world avatar

They made her significantly less of a pain in the remake. And they kept they that you can hide her or she just stays out of the way in a lot of fights. And doesnt have a health bar. Big improvements comparatively in my opinion.
