NuPNuA, do gaming w Star Trek: Infinite Review Thread

Played about an hour and a half last night. It seems essentially a glorified Trek themed Stellaris expansion. Which given it was only £25 quid I don’t mind too much.

espiritu_p, do gaming w Two (three?) games free on Epic Games - Blazing Sails & Q.U.B.E. ULTIMATE BUNDLE

I enjoyed a few of them. GtaV, or Borderlands 3 (altough part 2 will be my favorite part forever)
Civ6 was merely only a demo version, and TW:Troy really sucked and helped me save some bucks.

But mostly I just add them in the hope that Tencent will pay a few cents to The developers who created those games in the first place.
But I won't buy anything there. Games that are only sold via this platform don't exist.

I love Souls-likes. I’m looking forward to this one, but I’ll wait for additional patches to fix the performance issues.

Gotham Knights.

It’s not terrible, but it’s pretty much what I was expecting.

Could really do without the crafting shit and leveling system. I know the Arkham games also had skill trees and what have you, but it wasn’t ever as bad as this.

I do think I fucked myself over a bit in not focusing on the main story early on, because I very nearly burned myself out on the side activities.

Turns out that a lot of my issues are kind of addressed at key points in the main story as well, so I really should focus on it more (like getting the glider thingy from Lucius, which I had no idea existed and would have been a tremendous help earlier on when I was navigating the unnecessarily large - and, to be honest, very boring - open world).

I don’t know how popular Pokemon Sleep is yet, but that concept of a „game“ is seriously fucked

EsheLynn,

It’s not a game, it’s a gamified tool. It’s a sleep tracking app with gameplay elements to keep one interested.

pixelscript,

I would classify it in the same mental bucket where I put activity and workout monitor apps that track steps or calorie goals.

Now, whether it actually produces consistent, net positive health results, I can’t say either way.

EsheLynn,

Pretty much. If they made a “Pokemon Fitness” that tracked steps or heart rate and calories burned, it would be the same thing. “Your steps were converted to fitness energy! Here are the Pokemon you met in your walk!”

It’s not even that, it’s a data-harvesting engine disguised as a gamidied tool.

simple, do games w Just beat Lies of P and I love it!

I’m currently on my 2nd playthrough looking for all the records. Lies of P is pretty darn good and it’s the only non-fromsoftware souls like I enjoyed, and I’ve played a lot. The bosses in particular are really great and most of them are memorable.

I’m a bit bummed at what you have to do to get the real ending, I feel like it’s kind of a betrayal of Pinocchio’s main theme, but I understand what they were going for.

I’m pretty hopeful for Lords of the Fallen but from the previews I’ve seen it’s a little… Clunky. I hope it plays better than it looks.

Watched FightinCowboy play the initial intro chapter and it looks pretty standard.

Reviews are generally what I’ve feared. The visuals and concepts are cool but the combat seems floaty and the game seems generally unpolished.

NocturnalMorning, do games w Just beat Lies of P and I love it!

I don’t understand the obsession with super difficult games. I can get plenty good at them. But I don’t enjoy getting angry at videogames when I die 14 times fighting a boss.

I’d love to play Lies of P, but no difficulty level means I’m not playing it. I tried Elden Ring as well, and Bloodborne. These kind of games just aren’t for me.

FooBarrington,

The trick is learning not to be angry. It usually takes a while to beat a boss, but from then on it’s suddenly easy (especially on replays), and that feels really, really good.

NocturnalMorning,

I wish I was like that. It might be an adhd thing. I’d love to play some of these games. It’s just not worth my sanity.

FooBarrington,

Definitely not! I used to get pretty angry too, though weirdly Rocket League fixed that for me. It turned my anger at the loss into anger at the pressure of performing in a multiplayer game, which isn’t a factor in Elden Ring.

Dyskolos,

Me too. Would love to play all those, but my tries were just frustrating. And it’s not just difficult enemies. But that artificially inflated difficulty like all enemies reset when i fail.

There’s motivation to beat a tough enemy, and then there’s motivation to beat 30 enemies again for 30mins just because i made a tiny mistake.

Maybe it’s a generational thing. I grew up with very difficult games, i just grew out of it. Newer generations only had these honey-drenched easypeasygames the industry came up with. There really is a hard challenge to beat anymore. Then came fromsoft and reminded me of how nasty games were 😂

Xylinna,
@Xylinna@lemmy.world avatar

I felt the same way when Dark Souls (and subsequent sequels) came out. Sekiro was the first game I had ever refunded on Steam when I rage quit it after couldn’t get through the tutorial level. I’ve since tried it again and made it to Genichiro but couldn’t beat him as it doesn’t let you grind to level up. It’s truly a game where you have to “git gud” and I’m simply not that good at parrying.

Honestly the only reason I gave Bloodborne a try was because I saw someone else play who was a much worse gamer than I was, it was included on PS+, and I thought the world seemed really interesting. I absolutely do not think this genre is for everyone but when you can beat a boss, the rush is intense and addictive.

TootSweet, do gaming w Switch update 17.0.0 bricked my console

Shite. That sucks.

Can you share more about the symptoms? You say “it does not get past the Nintendo logo.” Do you mean the “Switch” logo? What’s it do when it gets to the Nintendo logo? Hang on the logo forever? Does the screen go black after a second or three? If the latter, after the screen goes off, does the power button repeat the performance, or do you have to hold it down for a while (to shut it down), let go for a sec, and hold it down again to make it boot up again before it responds?

You can of course send it to Nintendo to get it fixed. That’s probably your best bet.

But if you can’t or don’t want to go that direction, you might be able to resurrect your system with homebrew/hacking. That’d require getting set up to hack your Switch, though. And might void your warranty.

First thing I’d try if you want to go that direction is to just run Hekate (a fancy homebrew bootloader for the Switch) and boot into Atmosphere via that. No need to set up EmuMMC just for that test, but there is some risk of getting banned from the eshop and online play if you make any changes to your Switch (like installing pirated games, for instance) and then connect to the internet.

It’s possible something went wrong with the efuses on your system and your Switch isn’t starting because it thinks you’ve hacked it and manually downgraded the OS even though you didn’t. I believe Hekate and Atmosphere would let you boot into your Switch’s OS in a way that would make your Switch ignore any efuse discrepancies. Might get you past the issue you’re having.

But again, there are some risks with this approach and if you’re wanting to get it fixed by Nintendo, I’d say probably your best bet is just to send it to Nintendo.

N00b22,
  1. When it gets to the Nintendo logo it cuts to a black screen. I never see the Nintendo Switch logo
  2. I have to hold it down to shut it down
TootSweet,

Yeah, Atmosphere might be a way forward if you wanted to go that direction. (Assuming a) the issue is an efuse issue and b) you have the right version of the Switch. You can check if you do by checking your serial number against the list here.)

Only other suggestion I’d have is to get in touch with Nintendo.

DrSleepless,

Nows the time

bitwaba,

I really want to finish TF1 campaign before doing TF2. Is it worth it, or should I just go straight to TF2?

I’m not interested in multiplayer. I just heard the TF2 campaign was pretty incredible.

It’s really frustrating that the TF1 campaign is all multiplayer. Queue times take forever.

turkalino, do gaming w Switch update 17.0.0 bricked my console

Do you use the official Nintendo dock and power supply? I know there were some issues a few years ago with third party accessories bricking consoles and firmware updates can cause that sort of thing to resurface

N00b22,

Yes

ulkesh, do gaming w Switch update 17.0.0 bricked my console
@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

Contact Nintendo? I haven’t checked mine, and I have an OG Switch as well (I believe). It would surprise me if you get more traction here than contacting Nintendo.

This does have me wondering what the warranty terms are concerning updates like this.

ulkesh,
@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

Verified, I have an original Switch model.

I updated to 17.0.0 just fine. So either you have run out of battery or perhaps it bricked because it had very low power when you updated it. These are just guesses and certainly nowhere near helping with a solution.

N00b22,

The battery was full when it updated

N00b22,

I’m from Costa Rica so I don’t know if I can contact Nintendo. Should I try to contact a authorized store?

chooglers,

go buy a box from fedex and send your switch to japan

Couldn’t hurt, probably. Good luck to you, hope it can be fixed and with little to no cost.
