Looks like they had to do something different than Mario Kart 8 and they did. The game looks interesting.

It isn’t interesting enough to buy, but then I figured I might sit this generation out.

I stopped playing it particularly because of the 1st-floor experience with items/loot (and active items in general).

Then again, these sort of problems for me seem to run through games (especially roguelikes) often.

smeg,

What about the first floor didn’t you like?

neon_nova,

I don’t really understand. Can you elaborate?

insomniac_lemon, (edited )

It’s not guaranteed to get anything of value before you hit the boss. There aren’t many chests, active items are often highly situational and you may be forced to abandon it. This may be expected/intended and I may even be able to beat the boss anyway, but it’s more tedious.

Very likely that keys and blanks (both multi-functional), more chests, or money don’t drop enough. This already means waiting on making some choices until after the floor is mostly cleared (despite this not being the best/easiest option for survival) especially when it comes to the alternate path.

Also @smeg

smeg,

Fair to not like that, I just assumed it was a deliberate part of the “this game is very hard” design

neon_nova,

Gotcha, I guess I enjoy that a bit. They have a rainbow chest mode. Have you tried that?

Each floor gives you one chest in the starting room and when you opened it, you can choose 1 of 12 items and is guaranteed to be a great item.

insomniac_lemon, (edited )

I think so, but that’s also has massive tradeoffs on its own. If I did that, it was probably mostly Robot w/Ser Junkan runs.

I probably would prefer a mod that makes active items only show up in shops (or perhaps chosen selection/loot-table at the start or per-character). Also: have the RR leave junk when taking some items (not ammo).

I do see one mod (Justice) to alter spawning which would probably help a bit (depending on the character, still not perfect early on). Plus I have other games to be bad at, some of them free (and slightly less frustrating).

hernanca,

I think that’s part of the game, it trains you by making sure you can clear the first levels even if your items are bad or you had bad RNG.

After a while I was able to consistently clear the entire first floor with just my starting revolver (Huntress). Maybe with the Marine it will be easier.

That being said, it can take a long time for this so if you don’t play very often it is definitely frustrating.

Prototype was my jam back in the day, since I had Xbox and not a PS3 and couldn’t play Infamous.

Having played Infamous finally on PS5… Prototype is actually better anyway and it’s insane how it was overshadowed by Infamous to begin with.

Maldreamer,

Ahh good old times, jumping from building to building like hulk. It had good story too which I didn’t appreciate the first time I played cause I was young and couldn’t understand it fully.

What a great read. That’s exactly how I want to feel while playing and you’re post get all the fun vibes across. Thank you for the continuous effort.

@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

maybe not quite what you’re looking for but the shadow of mordor series has a liiiitle bit of that. obviously not as city-focused as arkham or spider-man.

TwoBeeSan,

Your character becomes a double jumping revenge ghost sprinting through the environment pretty early in the second one.

Good suggestion.

Prototype 1 & 2, you’ll love the glide movement

Badabinski, do games w Day 260 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing

I love the thing about the bees. I remember doing the exact same thing multiple times. I eventually learned that you should leave them on the catwalk on the side of the ship and then run to grab them once the ship is leaving (since you're safe as long as you're on the ship somewhere, you'll just be teleported inside with whatever you're carrying).

Also, the airhorn is great. I think I like the hairdryer even more because it's louder, and I think it's fun that you can recharge it to get more VRRRRRRRs out of it.

There’s a hairdryer? I’ll have to keep an eye out for one because if it gets louder than the Air Horn i’d love to have it lol

@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

You were playing the game on a 4:3 monitor? Or is this a VR game?

Badabinski,

It's not a VR game by default, although I think there's a mod or a VR version or something.

I just cropped it too cut out people’s usernames lol

Riders Republic is so much fun. It has a relatively low skill floor but also a really high skill ceiling. Go watch some stunt clips to see just what you can pull off.

The different sports are a lot of fun and honestly what other game lets you transition from Skateboard to BMX to Jetpack in a span of a few seconds.

Only downside is that the more fun sports are locked behind a DLC purchase but it goes on sale quite frequently.

What is this from?

samus12345,

Creature Commandos. I love GI Robot!

SynopsisTantilize,

Oh neat!! I’ll check this out

Nythos,

Definitely getting added to my list of things to watch.

Do any of them other than the first two (Wolf 3D and Spear of Destiny) actually have Hitler as a boss fight?

Spacehooks,

Latest do not. Hilter is new colossus.

Zahille7,

You can still absolutely shoot him in the head, although it basically means mission fail.

MilitantAtheist,

Fail… not sure, I did it a lot of times. Didn’t feel like failure.

Zahille7,

Well it doesn’t actually fail the mission, but everyone in the room immediately starts blasting with their big automatic weapons and all you have is a pistol with literally no cover to hide behind.

I do love that the game just lets you go for it though.

I’ll take that challenge.

I can confirm having added a few of these in the past - they just work!!!

Can confirm it was a bit rough scrolling this in Boost, but interesting nonetheless. I feel like I remember Croc, but not very well.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, its an odd thing. In the last one of these I posted a user said they raised the issue with the Dev, so a fix on this is being pushed out.

Weirdly through Thunder or Jerboa or the webpage its snappy and no lag though. So seems specific to Boost :)

dalakkin,

It’s fixed in the new version that’s being rolled out now. I had no problems at all with this post.

Played a few hours of Last of Us 2 last night. Ran pretty well (80-100fps) on highest settings in native 1440p but with a 7900 XTX I can of course just brute force through it.

Surprisingly, the game ran flawlessly out of the box. Didn’t need to add the SteamDeck=1 variable like in the other newer Sony games.

Does not run with Proton-Tkg for some reason, so no HDR for now.

FeelzGoodMan420, do games w Doom: The Dark Ages - Previews Thread

What even is Doom anymore? It used to be a marine shooting demons on mars with a shotgun. Now it’s some mythological fantastical fever dream bullshit where you ride dragons and execute perfectly timed combos against alien God things. It might be fun but it’s certainly NOT Doom anymore.

Viri4thus,

There’s story videos now, dafuq…

callouscomic,

Is this serious? Every Doom game has involved going to hell and fighting Demons from hell in space and such. You know, a mythological place and mythological creatures and insane situations that are clearly fantasy.

They changed the type of place and creatures slightly. This isn’t really a stretch for the series.

FeelzGoodMan420, (edited )

Is this serious? Doom was sci-fi. Now it’s fantasy. The new game has you riding a dragon for Christ’s sake. What don’t you understand?

Abnorc,

You could argue that Doom was always more fantasy focused than sci if, but it doesn’t really matter. Doom doesn’t need to be about the same thing forever. They already had some fantasy/medieval vibes with enemies like marauders, those awesome swords, and some of the visual designs of the areas. I think they saw that it worked and decided to expand on it.

IMO, it probably always needs to be about high-octane demon killing. If it stays true to that, it can still be called Doom.
