+100, my feelings exactly.

I am now 45. I tried Deadlock, was overwhelmed, some other player told me to “fuck off” through the vocal chat because I was in the wrong lane, I uninstalled.

Generally, I don’t have time anymore to play online games that are about grind and skill. I don’t want to play only one sort of game. I want a game with an end so that I can move to another one.

MOBAs were cool at the time of warcraft 3. Let’s move on.

Random123,

If youre looking for a game with an end then you might wanna stick to single player. Online multiplayer is designed to keep players coming back for more

ramirezmike,

MOBAs were cool at the time of warcraft 3. Let’s move on.

What kind of statement is this? MOBAs are still insanely popular. And “move on”? as if there’s no reason to iterate or improve on a genre?

I don’t even play MOBAs but I’ve heard this same sentiment on arena shooters and it makes as much sense there as it does here.

wizzim,

Yeah you’re right. This statement was intended for me.

Everyone can of course play what they want.

Katrisia,

Let’s move on.

I enjoy MOBAs a lot, but their communities tend to be so toxic… I’m playing other multiplayer games because I am tired of the toxicity (among other things).

NOOBMASTER,

All online games will have a certain amount of toxic players there. No exceptions.

sickhack,

Valve’s last two releases were Half Life Alyx and Aperture Desk Job. Both are single player games.

Aperture Desk Job even runs on Linux and Steam Deck.

Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I WON A FIVE MAN BRACKET WOOOOO Also played some Skullgirls casuals for a little while after the bracket ended.

Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Ever since Balatro blew up, people have been joking about when we're gonna see the mahjong roguelike next. Then four different ones went into development. Then Mahjong Soul surprised dropped a fifth one as a limited time event, and it might be the most promising of all of them. Then I broke the hell out of it.

Splatoon 3 - Team practice. Don't have any cool clips to share rn, maybe next week.

I've technically completed out the season in Diablo 4: Season 5, but I've decided to see if I could go for a completionist run and get every objective. I'm thinking about remaking a couple of my other characters in different classes, since I finished so quickly, but that depends on how motivated I'm going to be once I'm satisfied with the state of my current Necromancer.

Still crawling around in Alien: Isolation. I'm kind of stuck in one section because the androids keep killing me, but I don't have enough ammo or items to fight all of them. I've reverted to running around them and hoping they eventually give up following me, but since I don't have a map and it's been a while since the last time I played, I'm not sure where exactly to run to. I might have to give up and look up a walk through so I can get through this area.

Gearing up for a swing at The Sinking City.

I approve. It's a pretty decent game imo.

I really want a Condemned 3 that wraps up Ethan vs SKX. They never got a proper final face-off in 2, and (spoilers) since SKX has joined the Oro and Ethan's unlocked his yelling power or whatever, it would be nice to have that loose end tied up.

I’d really like to see another time-based drama similar to The Last Express. It had a lot of time-based events where you could run into particular passengers of the train in the hallways, and gained a strong sense of physical “presence” as people pushed past you in the halls using detailed rotoscope animations.

The Invisible Hours comes close - it’s non-interactive, basically letting you play as a ghost cameraman watching the mystery.

The first Deception game by Tecmo. A pretty basic game in concept: Invaders come in your castle, you set up traps, lure them into the traps. But- Something about the limiting view of first-person, combined with the poorly lit castle, chilling music, and dark story tone has never been replicated. Add on how you could customize your castle with extra hallways and rooms with special attributes, capture invaders to make your own monsters, or even use masks to change the way invaders react to you… mmm, now I want to play it again.

I tried playing the second, third, and Trapt, but everything after the first game switched to a more action-oriented third person view and started to shy away from the heaven/hell connection.

I wouldn’t mind if it was a game outside the Deception IP. I just want the atmosphere back.

Katana314,

I own Deception 4 on PS4, didn’t know what the original was like. I think there’s a lot of cartoony appeal in luring people into elaborate multi-stage death traps, but it’s tricky to garner appeal out of more than just a lot of animation work for each variety of trap.

Cyberstadium Series: Basewars.

Sure, it was only 1 game, so maybe not a series, but as the name suggests, it was meant to be a series.

Not a game per se but if she plays music, Ear Cat and Rhythm Cat could be something.

muzzle,

Thank you! I found ear cat, but not rhythm cat, do you have a link?

bravesentry,

Ah, sorry, my memory tricked me there. I meant play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.demax.rh… this one and thought it also was by the ear cat developers. Good app, but nowhere near as cute.

Anyone have an invite for Deadlock?

Tokyo Xtreme Racer

And thankfully, they just released a teaser for a new one so I guess my wish is going to be granted!

Ok, I’m a bit out of the loop but is Deadlock actually any good? Like, most of what I’ve heard is that it just isn’t very fun. Even though they kinda fell apart the auto battler and the card game from Valve were generally fairly well received from what I remember. But everything I’ve heard about Deadlock is that it’s not fun, and is bringing the worst elements of DOTA with it.

Maybe since it’s barely even a thing yet, it might wildly change since that’s part of the Valve MO.

LaserTurboShark69,

It’s big and complicated and smooth but ultimately nothing special

VoterFrog,

The thing is I don’t think it has anything to offer to bring in people from outside the genre. Some people really enjoy it but you kinda have to already be into that kind of thing (DOTA).

Not a series, but I’d like another.
