I’m in a weird gaming rut at the moment, I just bought into the radius, but I don’t want to play it until I get a better headset. I worried that the screen door effect of my first Gen vive will ruin the experience.

As such I’ve fallen back to the rogue lite twin stick goodness of nova drift.

mojo, do games w Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights?

No that makes no sense lol

I just finished my first BG3 playthrough last night, clocked about 140 hours total. Debating whether to take a break before starting a new Dark Urge run

I came back to using Linux after a few years break this week, tested a bunch of different distros, and for some reason the game I picked to load on all of them to test gaming was No Man’s Sky.

Needless to say, after I finished setting up my final distro of choice (which was Ubuntu 23.10), I’ve put many more hours into this game since.

I bought Cities Skylines 2 under the premise that I’d refund it if it ran like shit. On my PC it runs about the same as the first game. Which isn’t great, around 30-60 fps, but also not unplayable. I haven’t played a lot yet, but so far I’m enjoying it. I did get into a fight with the UI thingy that lets you designate an area for landfills/farmland/etc. It feels very counterintuitive when you build the respective building and then try to mark the area. But when you finish the building and then edit the area again it suddenly works a lot better. Maybe my brain is just weird

zeshi, (edited ) do zapytajszmer w Revolut - ma ktoś? Spoko? Warto?

Nie wiem czy warto ale spoko. Dobrze działa, lubię ich UI, a jak ktoś ma wolne zasoby to może łatwo zainwestować i być ohydnym petite bourgeois zdrajca klasowym. Mi się przydaje do kontroli wydatków na kawę oraz płatnościach w czasie nielicznych podróży.

Operuje jednak tylko na bardzo małych kwotach (jak na bank), w zasadzie najbardziej się cieszę z tego że mam wygodne wirtualne karty płatnicze. Opłaty jeśli są to nie zauważam.

Co masz na myśli pisząc o tej inwestycji?

zeshi,

Revolut pozwala na łatwe inwestowanie w akcje w skali “drobnego inwestora”. Trochę kapitalistyczne ale jak ktoś chce i ma czym to można się pobawić… albo zaufać że wartość firmy jest pewniejsza niż wartość PLN

In ten years, the only place you’ll be able to truly own what you buy and play how you want is on Linux from Itch.io. These fools are salting the earth they grow their crops in.

Not much of a shoehorn when we’re speaking of the spawn of the eldritch god Microsoft. The article is even about unthinking destruction.

Mojojojo1993,

Cybersteel, do games w Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights?
@Cybersteel@lemmy.ml avatar

Fuck before even that, they should fix and put and easy mode on all games. Why can’t the lazy devs even to fkin that for accessibility.

RGB3x3,

I really hate FromSoft for the utter lack of a difficulty slider in all of the Souls games.

I don’t have the time to grind their games to “git gud” like they want. Just let me enjoy the game instead of wanting to pull my hair out as I play.

I’ve essentially wasted $120 on Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring because I hear nothing but utter praise for them. Then I realized I didn’t have the time or patience to grind out those boss fights, so I get <10 hours of play time out of them before I have to stop.

winkerjadams,

If you’re on PC you could try looking for some mods to help alleviate the things you don’t like. But yes, it would be nice to have more options right out of the box.

Iapar,

Saying dark souls/elden ring is not easy enought is like saying schindlers list isnt funny enought. You are missing the point of the whole thing.

Besides. There are always ways to make something easier in from games. A spell, a item, some armor. And that is by design.

Best example is the taurus deamon in dsk1. You find an item before the boss room. Use the item and the thing is done in two seconds. Of course it is also posdible to brute force it with dodge skills.

I think the one thing people dont get about from games ist that they are as much detective games as they are action rpgs.

Crozekiel,

I feel like you’ve missed the point of the post. Not everyone likes that style of game or has time to put in being savaged by an overly difficult game. If the devs don’t want those people playing, that’s fine, but those people are still allowed to hate the games over it.

“no, you’re supposed to hate playing it. That’s what makes it fun” some people like to get choked, but if your try that shit on someone that hates it, expect a bad time…

GoodEye8,

Some people like getting choked, but if you don’t then maybe you shouldn’t do things where you might get choked. Maybe don’t go into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and be like “bro, WTF you choked me out” when you get choked. Nobody is forcing you to play Fromsoft games. You want to play them and you know they’re hard. You’re putting yourself in that metaphorical chokehold and then complain when you get choked.

If that sounded stupid, then that’s because it is. Don’t be a child and expect the world to cater to your needs. Not everything is for you and if you don’t enjoy it then maybe you shouldn’t play. I don’t like Battle royales so I don’t play them. I don’t start up Warzone and then complain how I don’t enjoy it, because I understand when I’m not the demographic and I don’t expect the game to cater to my needs.

Crozekiel,

The problem is that, using this analogy, when someone who hates getting choked says they don’t want to try Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, a bunch of bjj fans come around telling them how awesome it is… And when the person says “that’s cool, but I just don’t like getting choked” they get told that’s the point of bjj, it’s awesome to get choked out…

Again, it’s fine if the devs want to make the game not have those options, but they also have to understand there are people that will not buy them or play them because of it. Fans of those games also need to understand that there will be people that hate those games only because of that reason. No amount of telling them “but that’s what makes it great though” is going to change their opinion.

Everytime someone says “I stay away from souls-like games because I just don’t like to play a game that is so difficult”, there will be someone replying either telling them off or trying to convince them they are wrong. We literally aren’t buying the game then complaining about it, we are explaining why we won’t buy those games.

GoodEye8,

You do realize that your “problem” is entirely irrelevant in the context of this thread? The comment first mentioning Souls games literally says they’ve bought the game and they want it to be easier. That is not an explanation why they wouldn’t buy the game, it’s a complaint that the game they’ve bought doesn’t cater to their needs. The problem you’ve described doesn’t exist here so there’s no problem with the analogy either.

whostosay,

The comment is the shittiest bad faith reply I’ve seen in a minute. Your caricaturized version of what the previous person said is not a good way to drive your point home.

Not all games are made for everyone. I’m not out here buying games that are relaxing/requiring little thought and complaining that they don’t require enough planning/patience/skill, I just play those games when I want something relaxing.

No one here is saying that you’re not allowed to like a game, what you can’t do is buy a game like this, that is notoriously advertised in this way (one of them has a godamn global death counter in it,)then complain that it is exactly what you knew it would be and expect people to sympathise.

Crozekiel,

You’re strawman is worse than my “faith”.

whostosay,

Disagree.

Gamerman153,

If you are on PC you can download cheat engine and a table for the game. This will allow you to turn on invincibility if you just wish to explore at your leisure.

latesleeper,

You could just do more research before buying a game at full price and being mad that the game isn’t for you. If you want a story those games aren’t for you. There’s more story in YouTube videos about the game than what’s actually upfront in the game. I understand being upset at a bad purchase but adding a difficulty slider is counter to the developers intent and thus not made for you.

Vintage Story, on a good server, lots of fun! Haven’t really been playing anything else lately.

I had the double tap issue with the official Xbox series X controller on PC. On Steam, on Game Pass, everywhere. And I was playing Persona 5 Royal at the time so it skipped dialogue. I returned it to Amazon and got a Dualsense. No issue whatsoever. Can’t even make a damn controller…

Romkslrqusz,

“I got one lemon from one brand once and swore off the entire brand”

lorez, (edited )

It’s a known issue. Not a one unit problem. Just search A button double press.

LwL, do games w Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights?

I have the opposite issue, so yes. I don’t particularly enjoy having to constantly pay attention to every enemy, but I enjoy learning a boss fight for an hour or two. I’ve also played a few games where dealing with random enemies felt harder than dealing with bosses due to sheer numbers, and it would help with that too.

So I don’t think it’s really a design problem. If you know exactly what you want your game’s experience to be, then don’t add it. But I’d argue for most games it isn’t integral to the experience how the difficulty of normal mobs vs bosses compares, and people have different preferences for it.
