Just started playing a simple isometric game called Tunic. It’s cute, and you play as a little button mashing fox creature with a sword in a language that’s gibberish as you find hidden paths in the isometric style. It’s frustrating for being so simplistic, because the hidden paths are hidden. I kinda like it so far tho. Just simple, relaxing, chill music, and cute AF artwork.

EveningPancakes,

Absolutely adored that game! It’s one of those that I wish I could replay without having remembers how I uncovered all the various secrets.

CCAirWater,

It is super, super cute. I started it on a whim and I love that it doesn’t really give ya anything. Like a souls-like game, it’s just ‘figure it out as you go’ but a cute fox and bug creatures.

rustyricotta,

Fantastic game. If you haven’t been already, you can tilt the camera slightly to get a peek at some of the hidden paths.

CCAirWater,

Yeah with the lock on button? When I figured out that holding the dodge button let me sprint, it blew my mind haha

That’s really not how inflation works. We’d somehow need negative inflation, which probably only exists in the nightmares of economists.

zout,

I've heard deflation is the end of the world!

Until the market is unwilling or unable to pay it

Taking the most naive view here, but is there any chance, increasing the price will in any way prevent more layoffs in the video game industry?

LandedGentry,

No

amino,

no, if anything it will increase them because prices going up is almost always tied to mass layoffs. austerity package and all that.

It lowers the threshold of how many copies need to sell before a given game breaks even on its budget. It also lowers the number of copies it will sell, because some percentage of people who would have bought a game at the lower price no longer find it to be worth what they’re charging for it.

letsgo,

I played Thing on a Spring a lot but never completed it.

So many times in GTA V I had no idea how to trigger the next mission. I would probably go back to it and play through if it had some sort of indicator for how to trigger the next campaign mission.

zipzoopaboop,

Go to a mission marker on the map?

sugar_in_your_tea, (edited )

Some missions are characteristic-specific, but those are labeled too.

MSids,

It was a while back, but I feel like I remember trying this, switching between characters and going to their various markers on the map but nothing would happen. It was long enough ago that I can’t rule out hitting a bug or missing a required side mission, but I remember not being the only person saying this.

I was never a fan of just driving around the city causing havoc, so even short amounts of time with no missions felt like eternity.

That's... not how inflation works.

Inflation is a measure of price increase. If inflation goes down prices keep going up, just slower.

If prices go down that's deflation and its own whole separate problem.

Prices never go down for things like that, they only go up.

All of fucking Bloodborne. Fast travel is great. Building into the narrative where you don’t tell the story directly? Fuck that.

If we don’t buy $80 games, they WILL put them on sale. I haven’t paid full price for a game since Horizon FW came out and it’s worked out pretty well.

EDIT: maybe not Nintendo…

Control had me wandering around.

zymagoras777,

That’s one of the best games I’ve played with one of the worst map designs I’ve ever seen.

dumblederp,
@dumblederp@aussie.zone avatar

I actually gave up because I was lost in an office most of the time.

DamienGramatacus,

Surely that’s the point though. Isn’t the map design part of the Tower of Babel madness vibe?

Half Life 2 for me

This is an extremely specific situation in a game, but…

In World of Warcraft, back in the day, there was a dungeon in Outland, I believe it was Helfire Citadel. It wasn’t particularly hard, but if you died, you were screwed. The way dungeon deaths worked was your spirit would spawn in a graveyard out in the regular world, and you would have to run your spirit ass back to the dungeon entrance to respawn. But finding the entrance to Helfire Citadel was so difficult I told the group if they don’t rez me, they’d have to just kick me, because I’d never make it back in. It was awful.

There is a reason that as long as Hellfire Citadel has existed, the first Google auto complete suggestion is “Hellfire Citadel entrance.”

Frostbeard,

Lots of the vanilla WoW instances was like that. Often the way to the entrance was populates by the same level elites as the dungeon so you had to run a gauntlet just to get in.

The Deadmines and Uldaman comes to mind. And since you spawned at the entrance you had to dodge and sneak past patrols avoided on the run. Gnomereagan and Maraudin and parts of Dire Maul was very maze like if my memory serves me right

A couple times in Linda Cubed Again. The game’s next objectives are told to you by characters, or through the in-game voicemail system.

However, there is no “current quest” screen so if you take a break from the game, you can easily forget where you left off.

Also, it doesn’t help that the game was only released in Japan (and fan translated only recently) so there’s not a lot of walkthroughs you can follow.
