Another top post.

I’ve pre-ordered the switch 2 (never owned the original) but already concerned about the reception its receiving. Seems Nintendo keep making mistakes with this one, similar to the wiiu… The only plus is I’ve already paid in full for it (UK Curry’s brick and mortar store) so hopefully no price increases for me plus got Mario kart world bundle so didn’t need a 2nd mortgage.

BrowseMan,

Hope you’ll enjoy the Switch 2! :)

If I were you, I’ll be on the lookout regarding Nintendo communication about possible improvements to the joycon drift problem of the Switch 1. Especially since they said they won’t be using Hall effect joystick.

I’m back into tears of the kingdom on switch 1 these days and I understand why I dropped the game in the first place: joycon drift can be… simply rage inducing.

samus12345,

The 2nd mortgage will be if you plan on playing more than a couple of games a year.

That is a blast from the past! I absolutely loved ‘Z’ when I was younger but had forgotten about its existence!

Shame Atomfall decided on denuvo otherwise I’d have liked to have played it but I will not support games that include that trash.

Just grabbed Kingdom Come Deliverances 2 from GOG myself so that’s what I’m playing right now. It is by far my most anticipated game for a long while. The opening to the game literally put me to tears I was so happy. Warhorse Studios has really really nailed this series. Its honestly like being in a movie, its so immersive, so personal (because of all the choices you get to make), and so fun! The scripting and voice acting in this game is so unbelievable well done.

Highly recommend this title to everyone ✌️


Also thanks for your news updates as per usual, I consider myself a fan already 🫶

KCD II is one of the few games I bought on Steam, because I just couldn’t wait to play it. I then installed a ton of mods, and now I have it on GOG I just have to start it all again!

And thank you, this is very sweet to read :)

As enjoyable as ever to read!
I think you might have missed the link to Nightdive Studios’ future endeavours? Or Voyager is not showing it at least.

I almost didn’t mention my game of the moment - I’ve been diving deep into Hollow Knight on the Deck, I just wish it supported HDR but otherwise it’s an experience like no other.

Wow that defamation lawsuit against Karl Jobst is spicy. I’m pretty sure I saw that video a long long time ago. 350k is a giant fine, I wonder if YouTube pays that well. This is what you get for purposely misrepresenting something for a better story I guess.

Thank you for these news/updates :D

As a lover of physical packaging and manual a bit saddened by the current full digital tendencies it was great to learn about all these info!

I think it’s a ‘cozy’ feeling - seeing a tangible bit of fun modern games you can hold? IDK, but whenever I find these it makes me happy too!

I've been playing (and loving) Fallout London. It turns out that the pokey little locations in their games are Bethesda's fault. The engine does still suck, but it doesn't have to suck as much as it does in their hands. London is huge!

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I still have London on my backlog!

The fact I waited means I’ve had a few updates and patches to make it run prettier, but I need to have some solid time to dive in!

Bit of an oddball, I got the itch to finish Trauma Team on the Wii since I didn’t the first time, so I got a USB sensor bar and I’m playing through it on Dolphin!

I really enjoy the Trauma Center Franchise, bums me out they never made another one, would have loved to see what it would have looked like on the 3ds or a modern entry on the Wii U/Switch.

I’m here for Sea of Thieves, so much fun.

simple,

Same, it’s a lot of fun with friends. They also added peaceful servers where you can’t PvP a while back so you can fish in peace.

Fair warning though: This game needs to be played with friends, it can be tedious with randoms that barely communicate and disconnect whenever they feel like it.

Novamdomum,
@Novamdomum@fedia.io avatar

Ooh I didn't know about the peaceful servers. Might have to revisit that soon :)

simple,

They HEAVILY reduce the amount of rewards you get though, so if you actually want gold then it’s not worth playing compared to PvP servers.

Zahille7,

But if you don’t want the hassle of dealing with other players and still want full rewards, you could do all your questing over in that volcanic biome on the map.

At least back when I played that was the relatively safest area for me.

Dragomus,

Sea Of Thieves has amazing ocean effects. The fog sometimes also is very atmospheric with how it seems to occlude sounds etc.

Subnautica

bagelberger,

I’ve played Subnautica so much that it’s no longer a challenge, even on hardcore. I installed this mod (Deathrun Remade) to increase the difficulty and had the most fun I’ve had in a while

Those game boy cassettes and physical media section in general are really cool! Thanks for sharing, as always 😁

tatann, (edited ) do games w What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion?

Odyssey is more recent but Black Flag definitely has better storms

umami_wasbi,

Why the “Flag” get removed?

tatann,

Woops, typo

Skunk, (edited ) do games w What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion?

From the creators of Cold Waters you have Sea Power, I like it a lot but it is more about strategy fighting with missiles and stuff from the Cold War rather than really enjoying sea.

Ultimate admiral dreadnoughts and War on the sea are also cool options for naval warfare.

Ships at Sea for normal modern sea stuff (fishing, cargo etc).

Naval action for slow wooden ships in the Bahamas.

But the best pirate game still is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. You can mod it a little and find good shaders to have it look a bit better on today’s hardware.

(I often play Assassin’s Creed Rogue on the Steam deck as it is the small successor of black flag and looks very nice on this screen size)

@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Is Black Flag good to play if you don’t like or follow the over arching story of Assassins Creed?

I felt like it kind of pulled me out of other games in the series

Skunk, (edited )

It is, but you have to progress a little in the AC story (or download a save somewhere) and then only play the naval gameplay.

Although it is nice to be able to walk on a small patch of sand looking for a treasure or going to a city. It is an AC after all so foot and parkour gameplay is good. It offers a nice change of pace from being on your ship. Unlike the – Ahem – quadruple A Skull & Bones…

Naval action for slow wooden ships in the Bahamas.

I haven’t seen this prior to now. The idea of a nice age-of-sail combat game sounds interesting, but…man, looking at the Steam description there has some surprises:

  • That is an appallingly low Steam rating.
  • It looks like the split is between players who think that the game is too-slow-paced and those who are fine with that, so I could see someone who wants a slow game being into it.
  • Jesus Christ, the DLC prices. They’re selling each additional ship for ~$50? Like, the game with all ships is ~$700? I mean, I know that DCS World and Il-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad use that model, but I can’t imagine that the ships function as differently from ship-to-ship as the combat aircraft in those games, bring as much additional gameplay.
Skunk,

Yep, I don’t know what happened with the reviews lately. I know they did something with the servers, maybe with the PVP server so that might have made all those players angry.

I don’t have any DLC ships, except maybe for some gifted ones and I only play solo pirate/merchant on the PVE server and don’t engage too much with the community.

It is a very slow game, combats takes ages as well as trade runs. But that is what I like in those games, I just relax sailing and trying to demast some merchants. Maybe if I was participating with the community (port raiding for your nation etc) I would be angry too.

AAA,

The developer is a cash hungry idiot, with no intention to ever listen to the community.

The community is great, battles intense, and the skill ceiling sky high. Sailing mechanisms second to none.

There’s a lot more ships than the DLC ships. But yes, it’s almost inevitable you will end up buying a couple of them, because the DLCs let you spawn a ship for free every day.

I stopped playing when the Dev decided to split the already low-populated PvP server into two separate instances, which is currently being reversed (to noones surprise).

In fairness, I didn’t notice that the game was F2P, no entry fee, so they have to get money from somewhere.

AAA,

It wasn’t for a long time. That was also a very controversial decision (albeit I think it was necessary).

It’s the Star Citizen model. Players should be happy they are not paying $400 for a concept art piece of a ship.

Really appreciate the effort you put in your reply :) Thanks, lots to look at!

I_Has_A_Hat,

Good luck playing Black Flag unless you pirate it. Ubisoft fucking broke it with their shitty app. If will still work if you’ve previously installed and launched it, but if you’re a first time player, the launcher will prompt you to log in to you Ubisoft account, and then just never run.

Skunk,

Really? Ah shit, I have it legit on steam so it should use ubi launcher but I haven’t started it in a while.
