You’re missing out if you haven’t played balatro yet, goty quality game.

I’ll look into it!

BurningnnTree, do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

I assume you’re talking specifically about upcoming games that haven’t been released yet? Yeah I can’t really think of anything coming up that I’m excited about. Currently the only games I’m looking forward to are Metroid Prime 4 (if it ever comes out) and the indie game Dreamsettler (the sequel to Hypnospace Outlaw)

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, do games w Games that require you to unlock the basic functions of the game can suck my nuts.

I have uninstalled and refunded games with frustrating tutorials

At this point in life, if a game is too complex for me to understand by simply playing the game organically, I’m going to watch a YouTube video. Reading pop up menus is okay unless they physically lock you out of the game.

OrderedChaos,

If there is a constant need to watch YouTube videos or look up game guides the days of playing that game ends very quickly. Must be intuitive to play.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I very much disagree. Games like Dwarf Fortress or Rimworld absolutely benefit from both being left to your own devices AND having a repository of information to resort to.

Games with a steep learning curve shouldn’t necessarily lock you into a tutorial, just give me the option and let me fail a few times until I get the hang of things.

Factorio and Stellaris are another 2 great games with steep learning curves. They’re also 2 of my most played games according to steam.

Another commenter mentioned Elite: Dangerous. I have almost 300 hours into this game (rookie numbers for a lot of ED players), and I was still learning brand new mechanics I had no idea were in the game. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had in a game purely because it let me fail and learn on my own, even after I had lots of experience.

Vordus, do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

The problem you’ve got is that the two lists that you’re looking at are ones with concrete release dates, and we’re currently in the period of the year where the release dates are the hardest to come by. Basically everyone’s either just started their fiscal Q1 and so have a completely clear slate, or like Microsoft have just started their Fiscal Q4 which means all they’ve got left on the slate are the delayed stragglers.

Panda, do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

Not sure about the upcoming months but I felt like 2024 started off with quite a few games coming out one after another, including Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Helldivers 2, Last Epoch and Dragon’s Dogma 2.

And Manor Lords is coming out this month as well.

The last year 2023 was incredible (providing a lot of good games).

XeroxCool, do gaming w midnight club: the unsung hero of arcade racing.

I only had MC3:Dub Edition, but it definitely set some permanent musical tastes in the way Tony Hawks did

I have that and also MC:LA for the PS3. I recently learned that Rockstar never officially ported MC:LA to the PC so the only official ways to play it are on the PS3 and 360. And sadly RPCS3 still needs more optimization before it’s playable. I get about 15-30 fps whenever I try it.

foggy,

I am currently playing through midnight club Los Angeles on RPCS3 on Ubuntu 22.04.

I would say it is about 70 to 90% stable. There are certain areas of the map that load it lower frame rates. Certain updates of RPCS3 have seem to affect this. Perhaps I should be more actively communicating in their community.

I am right now running a particular build of RPCS3 for midnight club LA.

0.0.31-16277 (from 4-1-24)

I’d say it’s about 85-90% stable. Totally playable ehat promoted this whole thread.

I’ve fallen back into playing Celeste. I’ll never be great at this game, but when it’s going well it’s so freaking satisfying to play. Aiming to collect all the strawberries and have a crack at the B-side levels I didn’t complete the last go-around.

Last Epoch

playing offline because that’s where all my stuff is as last I checked the online was a disaster. Other than that, it’s pretty cool ARPG. Though I have some thoughts about some “gearcheck” -type bosses. After ~180h (since beta) or whatever, I’m still thinking it’s a solid 7/10. Fairly enjoyable, but not greatest of all time by any stretch.

Content Warning

It’s completely stupid and I love it. Essentially wannabe-“spööktubers” take a camera and few flashlights into dark, abandoned industrial complex to film something spooky, just to gain views on “Spööktube”. Views gain you money, money buys you gear.

The dives to the industrial complex are very short too, as you can only film so much (90s max, it seems), and the monsters are hella deadly. Either the camera gets filled or everyone is dead in minutes.

The footage can be saved as .webm -videos to desktop, which is GREAT

strongarm,

Last Epoch online issues are resolved now.

good to hear. But, either way all my current stuff is on offline and none of my friends have the game, so moot point.

Yeah, it felt nice to play, but after dumping 8 hours into it two weeks ago I can’t even remember what a single enemy looks like.

Finished The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles last week.

This may be heresy, but I think I enjoyed these two more than both of the other trilogies.

Maybe it’s the setting or characters or unique mechanics, I don’t know, but I fucking loved every minute of it.

Baldurs gate is just so good. Constantly impressed and on my way to act 3!

Vinny_93, do pcgaming w What to do now that ds4windows is dead again?

Check out reWASD, by Daemon Tools. I paid 7 dollars for it once and it’s great.

SimplyASpeckOfDust,

reWASD is brilliant, great suggestion!

wccrawford,

Daemon Tools

Holy crap! They still exist? I haven’t heard that name in forever, but I loved their stuff back when I needed it. Wow.

wccrawford, do pcgaming w Has anyone tried the stadia controller via Bluetooth on PC?

I tried it, found it had horrible latency, and threw it in a box.

I’ve been using the (wired) Gamesir T4 Kaleid on my desktop and loving it.

I’ve been using an XBox Elite (the one that worked, not the one I sent back because the trigger was broken) and it’s been okay, but the dead zones are much, much larger than the Kaleid. I looked at Gamesir’s wireless options, but wasn’t impressed with the reviews, so I haven’t tried any yet.

It‘s also on Steam in case others are wondering like me. Wishlisted there. Really cool theme, hope the gameplay can deliver too.
