frongt, do gaming w Honestly a game set in the japanese ministry of finance during the late 80s and 90s sounds interesting to me

Maybe a Sim City scenario?

There’s also Capitalism (1995) or its sequels that you might be able to find. I’ve never played it, but they reused the engine for Seven Kingdoms which was (and still is!) an excellent RTS.

It’s not exactly “set in the Japanese finance ministry”, but it’s contemporaneous with your time period, and the developer is from Hong Kong, so maybe it’ll scratch your itch.

NuXCOM_90Percent, do games w I'm playing Gears of War Reloaded, and I have a question. Will there be some point when the Chainsaw I've had for hours actually gets explained to me?

Considering it is a microsoft game, just wait for the Palestinian children to appear.


But to actually answer the question. Gears was a game from the late 00s/early 10s made by Epic who had been making THE best arena shooters for almost a decade at that point. The chainsaw bayonet is just another Impact Hammer or Gauntlet. It isn’t something you are actually supposed to use outside of stunting on other players. Which lines up with Gears being a cover shooter through and through and charging out of cover being a REALLY good way to get gunned down on all but the easiest of difficulty settings.

RampantParanoia2365,

I actually did play it on XBox back in the day, I just don’t remember anything. But yeah, I’m re-learning that pretty quick. Still though, the chainsaw is pretty awesome, why not explain it?

Dariusmiles2123,

I’m trying to avoid buying from companies on the palestinian boycott list, but I already know a Gears of War remake playable on Steam Deck is gonna be one exception.

emeralddawn45,

You dont have to buy it to play it. Then you get to skip all the epic game store bs too.

Sounds familiar.

Looking at you, Dota 2.

And Starcraft 2

And WC3

And smash melee

I’ve been playing Elden Ring for the first time (also my first fromsoft game). Yeah…

Konraddo, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

You could get GamePass and play Expedition 33 at a cheaper price.

Also, three examples you quoted are both first person based, while BG3 is not.

Elden Ring is third person and Skyrim allows for both. I’m not picky on it though, I like both.

That’s a good point about GamePass though. I also learned that BG3 had a two hour demo on PS5 which I also own. So I might look into that too.

Cethin, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

They’re very different, so you need to figure it out for yourself. Both are great, but we don’t know your tastes. I would recommend BG3 though, for what is worth.

However, if you’re strapped for cash, I would recommend playing indie games. They’re often more interesting than these larger budget games (though these two are exceptions to large budget games being shit), and they’re usually like $20 max. Most people can get more out of Factorio or Dwarf Fortress, for example, than they can out of these games, at a much lower price.

And tbh since OP said they’re generally more into Soulslikes and such, Silksong comes out in 2 days for $20

Yeah I read about that after posting. I’ll probably pick that up honestly, but these two games are both super tempting too.

I wonder if that’s the first sea lion in a 3D game. Looks like a good boi.

Now that you mention it I am curious what the first record for first sea lion in a 3D game is though. We get a lot of them nearish to where I live, so it was fun seeing them in a game. Can confirm though, absolute good boy.

When you ended your last post with "it feels like I'm close to the end" I couldn't wait to see how you'd react to the switching sides thing! Seems like you took it better than most!

I’m a sucker for nuance in a antagonist (as long as it’s not trying to redeem someone who can’t really be redeemed), so getting to see Abby’s perspective really is something I like, especially now knowing her motivations

By the same token, when you do finally get back to the main missions you can tank them solo and keep all your companions safe at your base because you’re so damn OP.

Just try not to think too much about the conversations they’re having while you’re gone. 🤣

They all go to different settlements.

PSA someone ported it to Linux. There’s a Flatpack. You’re welcome.

I think you mean from Windows 95…

somerandomperson,

Nope, space cadet pinball was from XP.

Venator,

It was included in both, but it was in 95 first 😅

FooBarrington, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

Expedition 33 is very good at what it does. It’s a great experience, well worth the money (though I found combat to be repetitive over time) and as others have already explained, a lot more artistic.

BG3 however was a mind-blowing game for me. The amount of choices you have at every point was something I’d always wanted, and I’d always been let down.

I still think about E33s story often after my ~20h playing it, but for BG3 I really wish I could play it again for the first time, after having played over 200 hours already.

froufox,

my first walkthrough of E33 took 183 hours, there’s pretty huge world to explore and some optional bosses are quite challenging

YiddishMcSquidish,

That first big bad nevkron was like the asylum demon in dark souls for me. Yeah, he kills you in one hit but he’s not impossible. Also I didn’t know you could just not fight them again. I though I was stuck cause the failure screen just gives you two options of retry and something else. As a souls player I saw “retry” and nothing else. Took maybe six tries, but the combat was more intuitive afterwards(at least the parry)

froufox,

which one? first chromatic or pink ball?

YiddishMcSquidish,

Like a big version of the first couple you come across. He gave me a “first attack his harder” attachment. After the second big shield jumping guy.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

When it’s equipped, you just use your melee button, which ought to be B, if memory serves.

elvis_depresley, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

I enjoyed both, but members of my family who are into souls like games enjoyed E33 more.

YiddishMcSquidish,

That’s where I am. I loved bg 1&2. For some reason 3 just isn’t clicking for me. I can’t get past the first goblin cave and have the difficulty low. I’m no slouch either as I’ve gone through every single one of the fromsoft library. I even beat pre patch balteus ffs. I know there’s something simple I’m missing but bg 1&2, icewind Dale, shit even planescape never gave me a problem! I’m absolutely love Clair obscura though. It’s giving me huge ff VIII vibes which I loved.
