That was my first “i cant believe how fun this is” in a while. And all the DLC is cheap and adds a good chunk to the game for how simple it all is. And addictive.
Just got RPCS3 set up on my laptop and now I just gotta see if my laptop can handle it or not. If not, I’m continuing to stick to solitaire and mahjong on it for a while.
Otherwise, I’ve just been addicted to both Backpack Hero and Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate. Though, I’m less inclined to play Backpack Hero since my story mode save got wiped after I went to the main menu after losing a run.
That’s been sitting on my wishlist a while. It caught my attention when I saw RTGames playing with his friends; but I’ve been hesitant to pull the trigger because I’m worried it’ll be one of those games that’s only fun with friends.
Ark is so good! Do you have any adjusted collection rates or mods? I have been looking for another friendly community server to get back into the game. I have about 2k hours on steam in Ark, but I only play on chill servers with nice people, and usually we have to form those ourselves
We’re also barely digging into any wiki or walkthrough to keep experience super green and just learning on the fly. I’m sure we’ll start looking stuff up soon enough but for now we are woefully ignorant. No mods yet.
I’m certainly considering opening up ports if the kids start playing with us (while they’re at the other parents house), but for now I’m only running the server while we’re playing.
I’d be happy to provide any advice or assistance if you want to start hosting! In terms of gameplay, get some good collection Dinos! Collecting by hand is designed to be too slow. Get a nice trike for thatch and berry collection. Get a beaver for wood, and an armadillo guy for stone and flint. Then you can go out and do massive collection runs in just a few minutes to restock all your basic resources. Getting a bronto is awesome for berries but a bit overkill. Trikes do great for swiping berries up in mass quantities! Then you can get enough narco berries to tame more. It’s all about taming! Get a slingshot and shoot some low level pterosaurs for a nice quick flyer.
Honestly, there’s way too much in this game to go without the wiki IMO. Not that you can’t have a good time without it, but it definitely opens up so much in the game.
Stuff like which dinos are good at gathering which resources, some have weight reductions for some materials, etc. Some dinos have passive abilities that are nice to know about.
If you’re all about the grind and randomly discovering things, that’s definitely an option, but there’s stuff that you’re likely to never find accidentally, like boss battles and the means to unlock them.
I’m addicted to Grand Turismo 7 right now. I don’t play anything else which is rare with me. I even got to the point where I bought PS VR2 just for this game.
It’s the sense of speed and degree of realism is higher than in Forza games. GT Sophy AI is also amazing. It adds personalities to the AI cars so they no longer follow predefined lines but they block, attack, crash or spin from too much throttle.
I’m away from my PC/consoles for the next year but I’ve been all over Polytopia on mobile. Easy to learn hard to master. Very complex little game that I can play through a few times a day with lots of replayability.
I’m a little late to the game, but I started playing Breath of the Wild on Ryujinx (I learned in December that my secondhand Switch is jailbreakable). And now I see why so many people loved it.
It also gave me strong Elden Ring vibes when gliding through the world, so I see where ER got its inspiration.
I don’t see an issue, if 99% of the people are straight, and the goal of your character is to put the players in their shoes, then making them straight (if sexuality is in the game for whatever reason) is the right choice. Btw I’m not straight
Your numbers are off. The proportion of straight people is closer to 90% in western countries, and this is likely an overestimate as other sexual orientations are still stigmatized in most countries (source).
As a straight guy, I think I can relate better to a gay woman in an RPG than a straight woman. Romancing men is something that knocks me out of the thing still, more than anything else about playing a woman.
That said, about most games IDGAF. It’s not like straight men would not play Tomb Raider because the main protagonist is a woman. And even some RPGs, if the female voice actor is better, or the story makes better sense with a female lead, then that’s that.
God forbid any game doesn’t cater exclusively to the greatest size group. Why not have representation in games proportional to the real life people that play them? If all you care about is plurality, then every character should be straight, Han Chinese men. We should cater to the maximum amount of people, right?
It’s not party catering. Or art. It’s a money business that has to create games that sell, so that the developer can get paid. That is the main goal. If there is room for a message, without alienating buyers, that’s also an option.
Anyhow, we have robots, those sell. We have aliens, they sell. We have unidentified that sells. There’s elves and orcs, which sell. Bunnies and hedgehogs. Various made-up things. Tons more. They all sell copies. Find a way to make it profitable, and it will happen. It’s not about representation. And it never will be. Unless it makes enough money to make more after that.
It’s clearly not about diversity. Capitalism isn’t about demographics and equal representations.
That lies in demand. Create actual demand, and game developers will follow. They always do.
Yea pretty much, unless the point is to highlight an aspect of culture like setting your game is Egypt and including Egyptian mythology and history, don’t alienate the majority of your audience, introduce them to something new
Oh man, you've got sooo much to go! It's great. I love that whole starting area. It's so much fun.
My second play through was a wood elf bard. She was pretty fun to play. Considering I'm a barbarian player usually. First play through was a half orc barbarian, she was really cool.
in my experience, you can get pretty smooth gameplay at the cost of graphics, or pretty decent graphics at the cost of smoothness and fps.
I have mine set to pretty ok-ish settings for both. but then I tend to swap between handheld and docked for most games. so I’m kinda used to the graphics by now.
