Don_alForno, do games w Gaming Pet Peeves

Anything that needlessly makes me repeat content I already beat or similarly wastes my time. Some examples are:

Fixed save points in general.

Unskippable cutscenes between the last fixed save point and the boss fight.

No autosave or fixed save point after a boss fight.

Preventing me from backtracking after I stumbled into a cut scene and/or boss fight because it wasn’t obvious which path led to a point of no return.

Oh, and no PlayStation style controller glyphs. Come on, it’s an additional set of images, now hard can it be to implement?

How have I never heard of the Detroit game?

it’s from the makers of “Heavy Rain” and “Beyond: Two souls”. The player has to play the role of three different humanoid androids throughout the game, and make choices that heavily affect the gameplay. Depending on the choices you make with every character, their story and outcome changes their future paths. It’s a good game, and can be bought quite cheap at sales. The acting is really good IMO.

entwine,

It’s incredible, and unique in that nobody else is really making those types of games, and it has AAA-tier production values.

i sometimes just buy dlc when i can afford it - though i really want rimworld’s odyssey i just can’t yet afford it. I am loving biotech though!

CentipedeFarrier,

I considered odyssey, but then I realized it would break all my mods, because they aren’t through steam, and I have multiple weeks spent getting those appx 750 mods working properly. Not worth it when a lot of the mods I like most have been shelved with the major changes. I’d need an entirely new setup.

Maybe someday though!

flandish,

with my five mods i think im … only scratching the surface. i beat it once on biotech but in proper form; my newborns were annoying so i used them to launch the ship after i sterilized every adult so that wouldnt happen again.

CentipedeFarrier,

If you play on steam, and want to try a very easy-to-load set of mods that completely reworks the whole game, check out the progression mod pack. (Link is for the 1.5 version since you don’t have odyssey, there’s a 1.6 version as well and I think there’s a link for it on that page)

It’s around 1,000 mods, many of which are compatibility/patch mods, the authors of them worked closely together for compatibility, and they have a community-driven mod sorting tool to reduce errors. You can single-click to add all and follow the directions to have them properly sort for best experience.

I use around half of the mods on that list, very much recommend. You don’t have to have all of them enabled if there’s content you don’t like or whatever.

I do mostly sandboxy base building, rather than accomplishing main objectives, so I frequently have hordes of kids running around my base (highest pawn count ever was 86, I just sort of let people do their own thing and accommodate them). The first bit is kinda annoying, but growth vats for newborns are great if you can’t spare people for feeding and play time :)

The only way that modern AAA games should be bought.

hydrashok,

Unless they require linking an EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, or other bullshit account requirements, in which case they get added to the ignore list.

or Battle Pass, Micro, >10 DLC.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

I usually pre-order the deluxe digital.

Linktank,

Sounds like something somebody with a username like that would do.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

What can I say I've got to spend that money my tenants give me somehow.

Linktank,

Yup, still tracks.

Not even pre-ordering the Premium Edition? How the mighty have fallen!

-95% and an All-Time Low mark on isthereanydeal.com is like my personal catnip.

Deconceptualist,

Same! A Humble Bundle with 3+ games that mildly interest me was another, but they’ve been getting lamer and lamer.

Cutscenes that can’t be paused, especially if they’re longer than 10 seconds.

Do you have the slightest idea how frustrating it is to be mid-cutscene, something else requires my attention, and I cannot fucking pause it? Singlehandedly my biggest gripe with gaming.

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@lemmy.ca avatar

Same with unskippable cutscenes, especially before a difficult boss. It’s no fun to have to sit through it over and over if I’m struggling with said boss, or have to sit through a cutscene I’ve seen several times in previous playthroughs. This also applies to the game’s credits.

kieron115,

I’m always afraid to test ESC during a cutscene because I’ve been burned by games that auto skip cutscenes when you hit ESC. Who does that.

Tigeroovy,

Yeah, when the start button instead just skips the cutscene with no additional prompt? Extremely annoying!

Damage, do gaming w It feels good to support

If it’s under 5€ I might buy and never play it. If it’s over 30€ I will never buy it.

Katana314, do gaming w It feels good to support

It’s rare, but there’s a few indie games where I did not wait for a sale, even knowing I wouldn’t play it for a while, because I wanted to be supportive to devs that made something I wanted.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

That was me with Dispatch. Got the Deluxe too

Support your Indies. They are the future of gaming once the AAA industry collapses in on itself.

Just got a Blood Mage (Witch) to maps in PoE2. I just need one damned unique gem to tie the build together and I’m golden. Sadly, the gem isn’t easy to get and very expensive to buy. :(

I paid full price for Dispatch. After looking at the 7 year development cycle I felt like these are the groups that need my patronage (Indies)

Any time I realize the optimal path is really boring or tedious.

Like, imagine you could sell junk to vendors for money, but for some reason you get more money if you sell them one at a time. Spending five minutes splitting inventory stacks sucks, but it’s 30% more gold and that’s the difference between the cool sword or the basic sword.

A made up example, but hopefully gets the point across.

Related: long travel times with nothing interesting or challenging happening. I remember playing some shitty MMO and you had to like run through a building, go up an elevator, and down a long hallway every time you wanted to learn skills. Just five minutes of nothing. Gotta juice those playtime stats, I guess.

It’s different if there’s stuff to do en route. Monsters to fight or whatever. But when it’s just jogging? Very disappointing.
