Similar. I played a lot of Diablo 2 back in the day, but Blizzard got a lot worse as a game publisher during the years they were focused on WoW. I’m not super interested in starting up on Diablo 3 or 4 or even Starcraft 2.

For a different direction on this – I played Subnautica. It was terrifying. I’m not going to get the expansion or Subnautica 2 when it comes out. shudder

Abundance114,

StarCraft 2 is the bomb, just download it and play the campaigns, it’s worth it. Probably the best RTS campaign IMO.

Might I recommend Median XL?

An OG D2 mod, adds a load of content and changes things dramatically, vibrant MP scene, and even after having spent most of a decade playing D2 back in the day it’s changed enough to feel new and shiny again.

Aljernon, do games w Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?

I haven’t really looked deeply into this issue but what caught my eye was the claim that a 30% fee was excessive. I’m no insider into video game publishing but 30% is the standard retail markup for many things. If you bought a candy bar today, it probably cost the mini mart you bought it from 70% of what they’re charging.

Cyberpunk 77.

I don’t have a big enough SSD or SD card to put it on my Steam Deck haha.

Great, you’re in for a treat

mohab, do gaming w Looking for real-time RPGs with combat based around positioning

Hmm… I thought I knew what you mean, but you said MH and now I’m confused. Monster Hunter is mainly dodge and hit? I’m not an expert, but this is how I played World/Rise. How different were older MH games?

_Lory98_,

It’s less important in the newer games, since the monsters are less predictable and their attacks track a lot, and the hunters get parries or other options (in GU and Rise in particular), but you often need to position yourself defensively to preemptively avoid attacks and usually keep attacking. For example: the Rathian charge is instant, so you should keep to her side to avoid it and her other frontal attacks like the fireballs.

Pretty often you could just walk out of attacks if you knew they were coming.

mohab,

Hmm… this is common in action games and soulslikes, I think: Arkham in Devil May Cry 3 and Centipede Demon in Dark Souls come to mind. Those fights are all about positioning.

I feel as if this is a common solution to large boss fights in most games with melee combat; whereas humanoid enemies can typically either quickly turn, do sweeping 360 attacks, or teleport behind you (oh hi Vergil) so it’s less about positioning and more about pattern recognition and quick reflexes.

That said, it’s possible I misunderstood what you mean because I haven’t played older MH games or Xenoblade.

_Lory98_,

That said, it’s possible I misunderstood what you mean because I haven’t played older MH games or Xenoblade.

I realize I’m being a bit too vague, as I’m not sure how to describe clearly what I’m thinking about.

You mentioned both DMC3 and Dark Souls and while I don’t remember very well either fight, I do think that DMC3-5 (and Bayonetta too sometimes) allow you to do what I’m thinking about with most bosses, while normal encounters I feel are more about crowd control. On the other hand, Dark Souls and the other soulslike I played feel more focused on reacting to attacks, like the newer MH games.

I love Cult of the Lamb! Such a vibe! You should check out Wytchwood. Completely different game but similar aesthetic. It’s a good time

moshankey,

Playing Wytchwood. I’m just enjoying the pace and the comedy. Cult of the Lamb was fun to play. Thank you for sharing.

Most anything PvP.

I just can’t do anything with games that don’t allow me to pause (or go idle) as I just have constant interruptions.

It doesn’t help that many PvP games also have sweaty tryhard metas that put you on a different level if you’re not reading up on forums or discussions.

Abundance114,

I’ll straight up admit that I can’t compete in most pvp titles; and I don’t want to be a loot goblin for the high school kids who are going to 360 no-scope headshot me from across the map and then tea bag my corpse.

I’ve been paying for my EvE Online accounts for over 10 years without playing. Just logging in about twice a year, to play skill training online.

Maybe I’ll have time to continue playing when I retire …

Heard all the good things about Disco Elysium and found it on sale for the Steam Deck… Could not stand playing a character with traumatic brain injury. I thought I did something wrong generating the character, no, fanbase assures me that’s the way it’s supposed to be… Refunded it in less than an hour.

Abundance114,

I could get info that game either. It looks amazing. I’m sure the experience is great, but it never really grabbed me.

Oh man I missed you starting this up! So glad you picked up Cult of the Lamb! I absolutely ADORE that game, and I’ve been meaning to go back to it since all of the updates (and now with the new DLC too!) I originally 100%'d the full game, but since the updates they added more achievements, so I gotta get back into and re-earn my 100% again lol

Happy to see you’re enjoying it, and best of luck with the rest of the game!

(P. S. I respect the hell outta ya for being able to keep this daily posting up, it’s fuckin awesome😎)

Strider, do games w Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?

Lots, as you said too. Blizzard lost its way a while ago, not giving them money.

Neither epic, ubi, ea. F all of them.

On the bright side there’s so much games coming out and so much backlog too, I don’t miss them.

Tollana1234567, do games w Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?

they probably have a legal team protecting thats why, or they are paying of some judges/politicans.

I was going to say diablo4 as well. Diablo1 and 2 were some of my favorite games in my youth, but I just don’t want to give blizzard any more money. Path of exile 1 and 2 are good for the same itch.

Also any console exclusives. Bloodborne? Would love to play. Not buying a console. New Zelda and Mario? Same.

pressanykeynow,

You can play Bloodborne via an emulator.

I like the uncluttered design. If the buttons feel good I’ll have to check it out as it’s one of my favorite handheld profiles.

No complaints from me at all

The feel and design of it is leagues ahead of others to me.

TRIMUI including three separate and different shoulder button sets in the box helps, too. Since it let’s you have some say in how it feels and plays!
