On my second playthrough on Baldurs Gate I messed up and made the dog “Scratch” hostile to my party by accident. (I yelled at the dead guy.)

I couldn’t bear the thought of hurting it so I got Gale to cast a sleep spell and ran away.

My party takes a lot of extra damage in encounters with both animals and people. We’ll just absorb animal attacks while focusing on their handlers in the hope that killing them will cause the critters to disengage.

I didn’t feel bad killing the dogs in Resident Evil.

discostjohn,

Yeah zombie dogs are the exception. Maybe robot dogs too.

Suuuuper late to the game, but a few weeks ago my husband talked me into playing Detroit: Become Human (I shy away from Sci Fi games so I knew nothing about it/was hesitant to play).

Holy shit. That may have been some of the best fucking writing I’ve ever seen in a game.

It also got me really turned on to those butterfly effect/QTE games! I finished Little Hope by the Dark Pictures Anthology in one night (last Friday), and I’m in the middle of Man of Medan right now. The writing isn’t as good, but they’re still Hella fun and quirky!

If anyone else has any reccs for the Butterfly effect/QTE style games, I’m mad obsessed enough and will most definitely play it!

thorcik,

I’ve been thinking about it recently, might finally give it a try

AquaTofana,

Ugh, I cannot say enough good things about that game! Top notch story!

I went into it completely blind, but even if you’ve seen some game play, there are so many choices and endings that you’ll end up surprised no matter what! Everyone that I’ve gushed about it to gushed back if they’ve played it already!

Playing through Monster Hunter: World again! World was my first MH game when it first came out on PS4, and man I struggled. I never cleared >!Alatreon!<* or >!Fatalis!<. I used Insect Glaive. Now years later, with time spent in Generations Ultimate and Rise (fully clearing Rise) and finding a love of the Switch Axe it’s fun to see how different World feels now.

caut_R,

I also still have to beat it, can‘t remember where exactly I left it tho, I hope I can 100% it some day

I finished Jedi: Survivor last week. The story was really good, and all the systems are basically better than the first one. Definitely worth a playthrough.

Then I started playing Against the Storm (going in basically blind, only knowing it’s a roguelike city builder), and boy it’s fun. The only negative so far is that the rounds can take some time (1-2h if I’m unlucky) and I don’t always have time for a full run since I’ve got two kids taking up the biggest chunk of my day.

burliman,

Do I need to slog thru the first one to get the full experience? Sort of quit and never went back for really no specific reason.

bitwaba,

Not OP, and am only ~15 hrs into Survivor, but I feel like you should.

The start of Jedi Survivor after the prologue is that the group of 4 from Fallen Orderwent their separate ways at the end of the game, and youre starting by tracking down one or more of them. So, it’s gonna feel pretty bland if you don’t know who these people are and why you might want to seek them out.

Just put it on easy and don’t go on any tangents.

However, even without the story I personally really like the first one because it was my first introduction to a dark souls like combat experience. I enjoyed learning how enemies telegraph their moves and timing my parry and dodge.

That’s my take anyways.

Cavemanfreak,

I agree with bitwaba. You’ll get the most out of the experience if you finish the first one. Easiest difficulty and only focusing on the story should get you through it in a couple of hours.

Edit: But also, if you really don’t want to there is a recap in the beginning of Survivor that I believe will catch you up ok. (not 100% if that’s enough to bring you up to speed, it’s been a couple of weeks since I saw it)

Did you play on PC? Is the performance acceptable now?

Cavemanfreak,

Yes and yes! At least for me. I’ve only got a 1060 6GB, but it managed 30-40 fps on medium in most places, which felt fine to me. I’ve heard that it’s the higher end cards that have been having problems though, so can’t comment on how that is now.

stoy, do games w Midtown Madness 2 on Windows 10

Midtown Madness, wow, what excellent games!

I remember playing them as crazy as a kid, the first had a extremely 90s UI, and the mini map was just a normal map scanned in and then zoomed and scrolled as you drove around.

The second one had better maps, but still weird bugs, you could drive up the side of a building and accellerate, when on the roof you would drive out in the air and just park floating next to the building.

I’m currently playing one of the games in Last Call BBS: 20th Century Food Court.

For anyone familiar with the Zachtronics catalog of games it’s like someone bolted one of the programming games onto one of their factory games, but the programming part is done using cables. Unsurprisingly, programming with cables gets quite messy, so even after a short break I usually have to restart a puzzle because I don’t recognize what part was supposed to do what anymore.

So yeah, great game, would recommend.

I love cult of the lamb I got it on my switch and I genuinely think it’s a perfect game for handheld

Cause you can easily pick it up and play it a little and set it down

But also engaging enough to sit down and play it on your TV

Plus the combination between rouge like and base building is honestly amazing

INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I’ve gotta say, it’s properly weird and I wonder what’s it got in stock for me.

Playing through my backlog, and finally gathered enough courage to play and finish Soma, and now I’m going through the Turing Test since I felt in the mood for a Portal-like game and I finished the Entropy Center not long ago.

vonxylofon,

If you haven’t, give the Talos Principle a try. It scratches the same itch as Portal for me, although the tone is less whimsical, but equally bizarre.

@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

Oh I completed that one a long time ago, I haven’t bought the second one yet.

I just finished Talos Principle 2 and what a ride! I love Turing Test too and would also suggest Spectrum Retreat to scratch that puzzling itch.

Ohh haven’t heard of Spectrum Retreat, I’ll take a look thanks :)

Finally finished Halo 2 and it was a slog. Now on to Halo 3 and straight away more fun, better movement and better gunplay than halo 2.

Finished Zero Entropy 2 and wow. Its canon in my mind. Feels like Half Life 2 Opposing Forces Episode 2 if valve had shown us the combine side. Now will 3 come? 3 is cursed so I just putting it to one side.

Finished Pony Island. Weird game. Not too sure what was going on but ok. Its off the list now.

And heroes of the storm ofc. Started storm League with a friend and we are having a blast together. Aram when I am solo.

Planetside 2, recently started it up again and it’s still fun.
