snipgan, do gaming w No Man's Sky is enjoying its 'biggest month in the last few years', coinciding with the launch of Starfield
@snipgan@kbin.social avatar

From what I have seen, granted I haven't played it myself due to my burnout with Fallout 4, Starfield is just a Bethesda flavored No Man's Sky.

Not much to grab my attention and most people I have seen played it seem to put it at a 5-6/10 type of game. Good, but nothing really great.

Meanwhile we have an arguably more fleshed out space exploration game that is No Man's Sky to suit your itch, that is probably cheaper or on sale somewhere. Doesn't helping modding will take years to reach really big game altering levels as it took a while, If even that.

Tbh, No Mans Sky and Starfield have little in common except being space games. Starfield isn't a space exploration / space sim game. It's an RPG set in space. Starfield has more of a storyline and characters then No Man's Sky, they're different games for different people

kayjay,

I wouldn’t call Starfield Bethesda-flavored NMS, I’d call it a NMS-flavored Bethesda game. NMS and Starfield aren’t very comparable except for the setting.

I’m honestly amazed that anyone could have completed it more than once already. I’ve played it every day since Friday and I feel like I’ve barely got out of the opening seconds of the game.

davepleasebehave,

I haven’t even finished Elden ring. but that’s apparently a skill issue.

BeardedGingerWonder,

Any % speedrun is already under an hour!

InfiniteLoop,

another article said a ng+ run is about 90 minutes. so it seems if you just wanna complete loops, the post-game is a much different pace than your first run

They also had a big update recently so…

Maybe it's for the best if they don't incentive the use of severed body parts.

I would be curious to hear what other new game releases brought waves of people to a different title.

@platypode@sh.itjust.works avatar

The game just has two too many buttons. I played it on both, and it feels much better on controller. Holding down both triggers to unload twin Gatling guns right into the spider’s pinecone ass is just satisfying in a way that mouse and keyboard isn’t. That being said, the fact that you need six easy-access buttons and constant camera control makes it really awkward/borderline unplayable unless you have a controller with back paddles.

Osrs players doing anything they can to play the game as afk as possible.

That being said I’m interested in this mining method. What’s the xp per hour?

CMLVI,
@CMLVI@kbin.social avatar

It's only 1.5k/hr more, so short term gains are marginal. But over the course of the skill, you can expect to save roughly 30 hours.

(This is literally all made up, but you have so many extra toes, just try it out) ((Also ignore that they added a tired mechanic so you can't AFK mine it anymore, that'll get reverted. You wanna be ready for when it comes back, detach that sucker))

I’m getting rid of all my toes just incase the remove the tired mechanic. Toes are useless to me anyway

rancor,

I read that it’s a 10k/hr method or thereabouts

Yeah, I’m loving AC6, but the design decisions that make the game so much better on the KB+M are actually kind of baffling from a console-first company like FROM. I played the hell out of the AC1 games back in the day and while that series’ aiming controls were a joke, the fact that you cycled through your ranged weapons instead of having all 3 accessible at the same time, combined with the fact that the game used only one button for “boost” which covered both jumping and dodging, meant the weapons and boosting actions fit nicely on the 4 face-buttons. Now, AC1’s weapons were very flawed in that there was often minimal reason to cycle through them - they didn’t generally have cooldowns or meters so putting a weapon away wasn’t super useful. Best strategy was a 1-weapon mech, generally. But still, the simpler controls were a lot more pleasant on a game controller.

And author is quite right about how rotation rate has grossly changed the game’s strategy and feel. For example, if somebody got behind you in old AC, the strategy was to get to cover while you ponderously rotate, or to burn energy like a fiend boosting backwards to get them into your cone of fire.

Not that I dislike AC6 - I love the game - but I hope this renewed interest in the AC series will lead us to a simplified spin-off or copycat 3rd-party game that properly fits onto the controller.

I just think there was some good gameplay lost.

But yeah, I’m playing it on KB+mouse, and I’m a PC gamer primarily.

Belgdore,

Have you played daemon x machina?

Pxtl,
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes. Hated it. The flying mechanics were joyless, the plot was tedious, the weaker enemy units were harmless filler, and there were too many overly-scripted fights.

I feel for the employees, but I would still tell people to stay away from “gaming headsets” and just buy regular good headphones and a cheap mic.

dingleberry,

“Gaming XYZ” is just a code for ugly ass accessories with some RGB slapped on it.

I’ll be honest, I had never even heard the name. Neither of the company, nor of any of their products. Still sucks for the employees of course, the current downturn is huge and as it accelerates and more and more investors pull out, the money the C-suites care about disappears and they panic even more about their bonuses so they fire and shutter even harder.

The made-up money that is the stock market can sadly have very real effects on employees’ livelihoods. :( But of course not on the CEOs who happily cash their 6-/7-digit base salary and then just fuck off to the next company they can drive into the ground.

The comparison is funny, considering how easy it is to fire the mining laser accidentally. Button shiny!

That ending scene is used in at least one other circumstance:

spoilerif you kill the emperor at the start of Act 3 inside the astral prism

It’s probably just a generic scene for miscellaneous unwinnable game states.

Wogi,

Your spoiler tag isn’t spoiler tagged.

Also I saw that cutscenes once before making it as far as you describe, I don’t even remember how, pretty sure it was midway through act 2. But it’s definitely a semi generic cutscene for when you lose in a particular type of way.

MimicJar,

I got it during the Act 2-3 transition. I had a fight that had to end in 3 or so turns and I didn’t make it.

Wogi,

That’s where it got me. I remember now

Hoomod,

I don’t think you can use line breaks with the spoiler markdown

My ideal Star Trek game would be a first-person immersive sim where I can just be a random citizen in the galaxy and just… Live there. Maybe I join Star Fleet. Maybe I join the Marquis. Or I could be a Klingon or a Borg, or one of the Dominion’s warrior slave dudes addicted to drugs.

Prewash_Required, do games w Atari acquires massive Atari archive (AtariAge) after revealing a 'new' 2600 that takes cartridges

Sadly, this may mean the days of homebrew programming for the 2600 are at an end. AtariAge is where all those programmers sold their wares, along with homebrews for other platforms like Intellivision and ColecoVision. I’ll have to head back over there for the first time in a while to see what they say about it.
