To offset that negative fella, continue posting! I enjoy them.

Thank you! I’m glad people are enjoying them

30 days was enough. Can you stop now?

Skipcast,

Fuck off, let the man post what he wants.

MagisterSieran,

Block them then

randombullet,

You commented 11 times in 24 hours. Can you stop now?

naticus,

But why though? Ugh.

It probably means you’ll get fucked by pay-to-win mechanics

@ALERT@sh.itjust.works avatar

do you have any examples of this game being pay-to-win?

Fiivemacs,

I’d say it’s pay to advance/skip the grind

If you suck at the game, no amount of money will fix that.just speeds up getting the ships and stuff.

Still need skill

I’m not sure paying for time is paying to win.

Maalus,

Yes, it is.

ALERT,
@ALERT@sh.itjust.works avatar

but no amount of money would give you the skill, right?

Maalus,

You wouldn’t need skill to win. That’s the point.

Fiivemacs,

Paying doesn’t make your maneuvering or aiming better. A noob buying better ships will still die because they are a noob.

In most games, I fully agree though.

ALERT,
@ALERT@sh.itjust.works avatar

what exactly is the point? how come you don’t need the skill to win? sorry for stupid questions, I’m not very deeply familiar with Warships.

Maalus,

Plenty from World of Tanks, going as far as match fixing to keep people in the “ideal for monetization” range of winrate. Shots literally going away from tanks you were aiming for. Spotting working differently. The patents for matchmaking they had to specifically foster that environment.

ALERT,
@ALERT@sh.itjust.works avatar

The question was about Warships, not Tanks.

But your statements about the unfair advantage of paying players is just a very wild guess, that has nothing to do with reality.

Maalus,

It isn’t a very wild guess it’s been empirically proven. Hopping on a low winrate account just makes you a god with impenetrable armour and perfect accuracy. There have been people going through statistics on this. People who say “nah it doesn’t exist” are either low winrate, or haven’t played the game much.

ALERT,
@ALERT@sh.itjust.works avatar

could you please point me towards the statistics?

Nibodhika,

But that’s nothing to do with pay to win, that is a form of balancing. If you’re bad at the game the game gives you advantages so you can play with the big boys. Hopefully the game gradually turns off those advantages when you start getting good and high skill matches have no one with those advantages on.

That being said I’ve never played the game, or watched anything about it, so I might be missinterpreting what you’re saying, but to me it sounds like a good balancing system to keep noobs from being frustrated and experts from destroying everyone who’s not at their level of skill. It’s like if CS gave you more damage or auto-aim if your account was low K/D ratio, they’re trying to make everyone be on a leveled play field. Obviously competitive matches need to have that turned off, but for people playing just for fun that’s the difference between every time I spawn I die and I can kill someone every once in a while.

_Atlas_,

I play WOW without having paid for anything and I have felt no effect of pay to win

That’s kinda hot.

MyOpinion, do games w Looks like I'm getting into World of Warships

It gets a little repetitive, but I is a great game to open and play a few matches when you have a little free time.

How do I block an user? Specifically from seeing their posts?

RangerJosie, do games w Day 29 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

Definitely grab Jedi Survivor after you finish this.

It’s good.

I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers, but from what I can tell I’m going to really enjoy it

OWB is fantastic. I hit it ASAP for the upgrades. Then I take the money from there to the New Vegas Clinic and buy all those upgrades I can.

Bionic Man before Dead Money.

tbh i love all the DLCs. i feel like they all scratch a different itch for me. i’ve been trying to play them in a sort of cannon order though since i never got to play the DLC on my PS3 copy of the game. It only feels right

redhorsejacket, do games w Day 28 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

Are you running any mods, or rolling vanilla?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I had my fill of modding Bethesda games on Linux with Skyrim. Way too much work. NV is purely vanilla

Old world blues is so fun. I need to boot fnv again, damn

skinless_corpus, do games w Day 28 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

Keep it up. I will always upvote these posts. They give my feed some actual happiness.

Once you finish New Vegas you will “forget” to post screenshots, right? It was just a way to sell New Vegas to others?

I respect that.

GoOnASteamTrain,

I also can imagine New Vegas being “well, I’m going to play for a few hours… oh god it’s been four months!”

Electric_Druid,

Every time I boot the game up, it’s this

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I had to stop myself from running straight to Old World Blues the moment I finished Honest Hearts. It’s so tempting

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m supposed to finish New Vegas?

Mwa, do gaming w What are your thoughts on crouch jumping?
@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

I find myself accidentally using it

BradleyUffner, do games w Day 26 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

Do you just play these games for 1 or 2 days, then move on to something else? I didn’t think I would enjoy playing some of these for only a few hours, it’s not enough time to really get the full experience.

I have a lot of free time because I am (or was, courses started today) a college student who is waiting for school to start. Couple that with not having a job, or any other obligations really. I have a lot of free time. I have a Steam Collections of “Games I’m Currently Playing”. Usually I’ll play maybe one or two for the day depending on my mood. Some games I also only play with friends. Like No Man’s Sky. Most of the time it can’t be seen but I have a friend in the lobby with me
