AceFuzzLord, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 22nd

Sadly reaching the end of Pokemon Unbreakable Ties beta 4.

Also ended up downloading Frogatto recently because I’ve heard some good things about it and so far a couple levels in it’s fun enough. Not fun enough that I’d be giving it glowing reviews across the board, but fun enough to play on occasion.

AceFuzzLord, do games w What do you think about random encounters?

I personally don’t mind them, but I personally think the best kinds of random encounters are ones like pokemon randomizers where you step in the grass in a modded gen 3 game with every single pokemon in existence in it and it randomly pulls from the list of 1000+ mons in order to give you a feeling of true randomness in team building. Especially since you aren’t able to predict which creatures you will get.

Having a random table containing only a few different encounters isn’t anywhere near as fun and exciting as randomly having gods spawn as your enemy as a beginner in a randomized game followed by the weakest creatures in the game a moment later.

droning_in_my_ears,

For sure, enemy variety is important.

V Rising. It’s so epic. Also Elder Scrolls Online

I liked the Earthbound way of random encounters.

TheAlbatross, do games w I think Sims is a dead franchise now

Life by You’s cancelation was a big disappointment to hear. I figured if any studio had an understanding of emergent intercharacter storytelling in the way a Sims game needed, it was Paradox.

That said, Para-Lives is still in the works and looks quite promising.

There’s still hope. Just not from EA.

pennomi,

Mmhmm, Paralives looks like it’s going to take the world by storm. I’ve been following their development and they’re doing really good things.

Buttflapper,

Mmhmm, Paralives looks like it’s going to take the world by storm. I’ve been following their development and they’re doing really good things.

Don’t get your hopes up. It never lasts. These small indie studios create something truly insane that’s so fun and incredible, and then big gaming studios like EA come in and ruin everything. A lot of people seem to forget that Maxis, developer of Sims and SimCity, used to be completely independent. EA bought them out and ruined the entire thing, now they basically don’t exist anymore. Who is to say that the developers of Paralives isn’t going to do the same thing? Guarantee they get a stupendous amount of money offered to them and they sell out, and they would be stupid not to. Who wouldn’t sell their franchise for tens of millions and never have to work a day in their life ever again?

pennomi,

Just like ConcernedApe and Stardew, right? Redigit and Terraria?

I wouldn’t say never. A lot of these indie creators love their creation enough to not sell out.

zipzoopaboop,

Maxis made terrible decision after terrible decision. They had no money and ea bailed them out and redesigned sim city 3k to actually be possible on modern hardware, while allowing dollhouse to continue and turn in to the sims 1. Then Sims 2 and 3.

Hate on ea all you want but Maxis fucked themselves up and ea made all of the sims possible.

paralives is so slow development though, and the lack of teaser releases concerns me about the quality. I have high expectations for it as well but starting to grow concerned

A good man, this Ape.

aeronmelon,

He’s so concerned about everyone.

ModernRisk,

I have really big hopes for this game, I’m worried to be disappointed. The character creation demo seemed good.

Exeous,

I hope creator outside character look good!

Exeous,

I agree. I play demo creator character. Was fun! Hope game fun!

That guy legitimately made his hobby into his job.

There’s 0 reasons for him to still keep updating the game with as much content as he’s doing except for his own satisfaction. Truly the best developer a game can have

ytsedude, do games w Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th.

Well, time to start a new farm. Again.

Anyone have a high level breakdown of what this update contains?

devilish666,

I thought this already fixed with Nexus community, if i recall it’s SVE

Cenzorrll,

Not everyone can install mods

AlligatorBlizzard,

Especially the people getting this update, PC has had this update for like six months already, this announcement is for Switch and mobile versions. Android is the only one that can install mods and not always well.

ech,

In short - a lot.

I haven’t played since 1.0. Worth jumping back in?

britishblaze,

I’d say so, alot of late game content now plus the mod scene is pretty strong if you want to really mix things up.

Sylence,
@Sylence@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Absolutely, there is sooooo much more content now and the balance and QoL is tonnes better too. Still recommend using the wiki late game though.

I appreciate you doing this every day! Always something new on my feed and you introduce me to games I don’t know about. Thank you!

callouscomic,

Thank the other person for inspiring me. They’re on like day 68 or something and I too enjoy seeing what others are up to and sharing.
