Who needs the author’s name in the crop, when you can have scrollbar instead?

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

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 😄

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 🙂

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

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

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.

Helldivers 2, Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time (40 hours in currently), Dead Space 2023, and surprisingly Rogue Company.

Been playing Rogue for 2-3 years so I’m pretty damn good at it, which is the reason I keep going back.

CheeseNoodle,

Cyberpunk has really come into its own. I just wish it had more cosmetic options, outside a few iconic outfits there aren’t many options for good looking clothing unless you want to look like a member of a grunge band or go full casual daywear.

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.

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.

Hearts of Iron
Europa Universalis
Sid Meyer’s Civilization
Armored Core (with a bonus freebie title)

Oiconomia,

Civ has a lot of old fans since civ 1 or 2 that just buy and play any new civ game that comes out. I had: Civ 1 Civ 2 + Addons Call to Power (which was no official civ) Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri Civ 4 + Addons Freeciv Civ 5 + Addons Civ: Beyond Earth Civ 6 + Addons Unciv

TheAlbatross,

So does Armored Core, Yakuza, Final Fantasy, Fallout and a few other of the series posted here but I’m here to make jokes not accurate observations about various niche gaming communities

Here’s a hot take. I really like the leveling system in Final Fantasy 2.

De_Narm,

I loved it too! Until I learned you can attack your own party to essentially powerlevel. Couldn’t stop myself from abusing it instead of doing some proper leveling.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Yep, punch myself in the face until I never need equipment again.

Same, you can really see the bones of what would become SaGa on it, I like it very much from the combat to the keyword based dialogue.

johannesvanderwhales,

I think it’s worth noting that if you’re playing the Pixel Remaster version, it’s significantly less jank than the original from the NES. They also made the trap rooms a lot less brutal. That said the game is overheated for sure. It had ideas that didn’t pan out but it also was pretty ambitious for a NES game.

Sabin10,

The first version I played was the dawn of souls on the GBA. Never tried the og.

gamermanh,

That’s why you like it, then. Every version of FF2 beyond the original has made the levelling less awful as well as try to fix up some of its other

If you go back and try an English translation (or can read Japanese I guess)of the original you’ll find its a shit ton of pointless grinding that just hurts to play

Im usually ok with a grind and some pain in older JRPGs but FF2 is not ok

FF2 is my favorite in the series. This meme hurt me. :(

kratoz29,

Is it any different to any other FF games? Sorry I entered into this meme 😅

Son_of_dad, do gaming w Many are worth checking out

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.

I loved ff1. But I can no longer find an instance of it that plays like the original, the phone remakes don’t feel right.

Twinklebreeze,

Emulate it.

BirdEnjoyer, (edited )

With Final Fantasy Restored. Its definitely worth revisiting old favorites with As Intended/QoL updates.

But I can see why they are hesitant to replay the original as is, because it can be a bit rough.
Yet so charming. And its hard to keep one without losing the other in the rereleases

mephiska,

A cheap retro-handheld can scratch that itch pretty easily. Miyoo Mini Plus, RG35XX H or plus, even a RG300X can run FF1 great.

paddirn, do gaming w Many are worth checking out

Valve will never have this issue.

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