Inside, Subnautica

adding Ori

Buddahriffic,

I’m replaying subnautica after a few years since my first playthrough. I thought that it was more of a one-time experience than a replayable game but enough time has passed that my memory is more of a general feeling than remembering specifically where everything is, so it’s been surprisingly engaging. Without even trying, I’m pretty sure the way I’m going through everything is different from my last playthrough, too.

i finished the game without hatching eggs so that’s something I’d do on my next play, i also missed the large strider crab creatures on my first play. going into the spinoff game, I’m taking advantage of all the new tech before progressing the story because i managed to get halfway through the first one without crafting a proper base

Buddahriffic,

Yeah, the one achievement I’m missing is hatching a certain egg so I’ve been collecting eggs this time around. Just got the alien containment, so I guess it’s time to start at that.

I’ve just built my second base. I only had one in my first playthrough, but I built more for sub zero and realized there’s nothing really stopping me from building a ton of them other than how much time I want to spend gathering the resources for it.

I’m considering trying to go to the end without a Cyclops sub since I’ve already got the max depth for the seamoth, though I need to find those deep mushrooms again for the defense shock that would be essential for that. Though now that I think of it, the Cyclops was probably why I didn’t build a second base and the lack of Cyclops was probably why I ended up building more bases in sub zero.

Weirdfish,

Just finished my first permadeath vegan play through (never caught a single fish, though I admit I ran over a few hundred).

Buddahriffic,

Oh wow, are there any non-fish foods other than the nutrient blocks and those trees on the surface? Can you fabricate the blocks at any point? I can’t remember if the first one has the indoor grow plots for surface plants like sub zero does.

I guess the main question I’m getting at is if you can do this without having to travel to the surface to stuff your face with trees or being very strategic with the nutrient blocks you find?

Weirdfish,

So, the first 30 minutes go like this. Find the stuff to make and craft the knife, scanner, fins, air tanks, and building tool.

You can eat kelp and make bleach>water w salt and coral to stay alive, though it’s a LOT of kelp.

Then head straight to southern island to scan the multipurpose room, indoor and outdoor grow beds, and grab lantern fruit and marble mellons.

You can then build a base and grow all the food you will ever need. I stock up on a ton of bleach and make water as needed, though the food also restores some hydration.

I usually have this done before the Aurora explodes.

Once you have the cyclops you can plant in there as well. Three lantern fruit trees per base is all the food you will need in the game, and marble melons have a lot of water.

The only thing you miss out on really is the emergency air bladder, as that requires a fish. To make up for it I carry a second air tank when diving deep or exploring wrecks. I also build outdoor grow beds w brain corals in strategic places as emergency air supplies.

Honestly, I started it as a lark, and found it so enjoyable because I never get distracted chasing down and catching fish.

toxicbubble,

hello, were you also inspired by poor dunce’s vegan Skyrim playthrough?

Weirdfish,

No, haven’t seen it, but will check it out.

I bought Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth for myself And Bombrush Cyberfunk for my wife. I got the money from selling all my old tf2 items.

I loved Infinite Wealth! Don’t worry about FOMO if you didn’t get the DLC, it’s not that great.

DrPop,

I bought the deluxe version so I think I have it. I just found out you know who got the BIG C.

I started the series late, in 2020 after buying Yakuza 0 on a whim, and ended up playing through the entire series that was out at the time that year (including Judgment). Infinite Wealth hits you very hard in the feels if you’ve been following Kiryu since he was 20. I love Ichiban as well and think he’s a great protagonist to pass the torch to.

The only one that really grabs me is Eggcelerate for some reason.

Looks like steam machine to me.

nivenkos, do games w What are the best indie games you've ever played?

Shadow Empire without a doubt. Practically a one-man team, and yet a better logistics and supply system than any other game out there.

Shadow Empire - best strategy game I’ve ever played.

I’m thinking about picking up a Persona, but haven’t decided where to start. Haven’t played one before but I’ve heard great things!

DrPop,

All the games are unique to themselves so you can start with any of them. I’d suggest 4 Golden personally.

machinaeZER0,

I was eyeing it - the price is very tempting, hahah. Any tips for a beginner?

DrPop,

You can best the dungeons in a single run if you set up right. It’s tough in the beginning but I’d you want to do everything you have to minimize the number of days you right in the dungeon.

Disco Elysium. Best writing and storytelling I’ve ever played.

@wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed 1000%. That game is phenomenal. It has made me laugh so hard I ended up crying, well and sometimes I was just crying. An emotional roller coaster, superb writing.

My husband was playing it and I thought the game looked terrible, but he kept saying I really should play it, and I can’t put into words how fucking happy I am that I chose to try it. Can’t believe I almost missed out on it. Truly a masterpiece.

Visuals are great too. A blending of a noir movie, a psychedelic trip and an abstrac painting. A rare beast.

caut_R, do games w What are y'all buying on the steam sale?

Hidden Through Time 2 and Monument Valley 2. Just small games where I liked the first game, I‘m still far from done with my Xmas purchases so no need to go harder for me.

AllToRuleThemOne, do games w What are the best indie games you've ever played?

Hotline Miami. Would appreciate recommendations of similiar games.

JustARegularNerd, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 17th

So I have been getting bored of Minecraft but felt like having a twist on my own new single player survival world.

So last week I started out in Minecraft 1.5.2, which was the version I started playing on, and I intend to slowly upgrade the world, along the way collecting mobs, blocks, items and world generation not possible in later versions (dubbed Discontinued Items).

My latest endeavour was actually switching to the 2013 April Fools version, Minecraft 2.0, and obtaining things like enchanted signs, creating setups for floating blocks (ladders, torches, floating sand/gravel, etc.), things that will survive the upgrade to 1.6.

snazzles, do games w What are y'all buying on the steam sale?

Jedi Fallen Order! It’s a great game and only like £3.50 in the sale. Might also pick up Kingdom Come Deliverance and Mafia Definitive Edition since they’re both under £10

Gabu,

Personally, I’d say it’s a fair price at £3.50, but not worth more than that. Fallen Order should’ve been called “climbing simulator” instead, as that’s what you spend half of the game doing.

snazzles,

I honestly really enjoyed it but maybe I had the difficulty set hard enough that I was instead spending most of my time fighting. Tbf I also enjoyed the tomb raider trilogy which was mostly climbing puzzles

Off the top of my head:

  • Against the Storm - I find the loop of those first 30-40 minutes of city building very satisfying.
  • Ultimate General Series - I love the land battles, it scratches that gun powder Total War itch.
  • Mount & Blade Series - Playing the Viking Conquest expansion while watching or listening to the Last Kingdom (Saxon Stories) might be one of my favourite gaming memories.
  • Sea of Stars - Reminds me of Golden Sun. And the soundtrack is just fantastic.
smeg, do gaming w There is Only One Level Left to be Beaten in Super Mario Maker 1

Nintendo announces all online functionality will cease for 3ds and Wii U titles in early April (specifically April 8th 2024)

Oh shit, I didn’t realise this deadline was so close! Should I be firing Mario Maker up now and downloading every level I can while I have the chance? Though I think I stopped playing it when I realised most of the levels were just words being spelled out in blocks with no actual gameplay…

AlphaOmega, do games w What are y'all buying on the steam sale?

I picked up Solasta. Pretty decent, but awfully linear with no real RPG choices. Worth $8

nivenkos,

It’s more of a tactics game than an RPG really.

Like D&D X-COM.

@other_cat@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve never been so interested, so fast, as when you combined those two names.

nivenkos,

It’s good, but I wish it were even more like X-COM with loads of deaths and managing a roster of heroes rather than just a small party.

Especially since BG3 has done the small party adventure thing so well.
