Dettweiler42, do games w What game surprised you with their length?

Dragon Age: Origins. The base game was easily 80+ hours of interesting story and game play. Each DLC added 20-40 hrs a piece. I used to play it a ton.

I don’t recommend giving money to EA, though. They have properly shit all over the sequels.

BootyEnthusiast,

You are 100% correct.

I just finished The Veilguard at 68 hours. I loved it, but haven’t played Origins. I bought it, but refunded after I saw how buggy and unsupported it is on new hardware these days. Maybe they’ll have a remaster some day, since everyone seemed to love it.

What problems did you have with it? Still runs surprisingly well for me. Haven’t tried Veilguard yet, but plan to as soon as I have some time. Felt that none of the sequels where able to match Origins yet, though.

anakin78z,
@anakin78z@lemmy.world avatar

Well, it crashed on launch, for one. I saw there’s a ‘4GB’ fix, but that doesn’t let me launch from steam, and I wanted to stream to the steam deck, where I do almost all my gaming these days.

I really loved Veilguard, but I’ve definitely seen people who played Origins complain about it. I thought the characters, story, and combat were fantastic though.

VeganCheesecake,
@VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Well, people love to complain. I didn’t feel Inquisition was as good as Origins, but I still had fun with it, and I assume the same is gonna be true for Veilguard.

Anyways, that’s curios. I think the Dragon Age Games are some of the few I own on Origin. I’d be kinda surprised if EA made the effort to patch the games on their own client, though.

Might try running it tomorrow, out of curiosity.

anakin78z,
@anakin78z@lemmy.world avatar

I just started Inquisition. I’m looking forward to learning more about the characters that appear in the Veilguard.

Dettweiler42,

It probably wouldn’t be too resource intensive to run it on an XP virtual machine. You’ll want a version that runs on its own, though (no game store launcher, drm, etc)

OutlierBlue, do gaming w What's your favourite it's all in the gameplay game?

Rimworld is number 1, hands down. I guess this is my answer, but I’m going to include more games

  • Factorio - enough said
  • Minecraft/7 Days to Die/Valheim - I can create my own world and story
  • OpenTTD - so much rail transport
  • Civ4 - so many mods (Fall From Heaven makes it a great fantasy game)
  • X-COM 2 - difficult tactical decisions

My dude, the easter eggs have easter eggs.

acosmichippo,

easter eggs don’t make a game deep or replayable.

edwardbear,

Depends on the easter egg though, no? Look up FF:06:B5 and see how deep is that for you.

mox, (edited )

You’re talking about different things. I love a well-crafted puzzle, but that’s not what most people mean when talking about game depth.

agelord,

If you have to dig that deep, then it’s probably not worth it digging (for me at least).

reddfugee, do games w Are there Cozy shooter games?

Maybe check out Roboquest? I was looking for a mindless FPS a few weeks ago (my usual go-to is UT2004, I’m old :]) and the Roboquest demo scratched the itch pretty well. Planning to pick up the full version when I see it go on sale

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@sh.itjust.works avatar

Roboquest actually kind of kicks ass. It’s a way better game than I expected it to be when I picked it up. I think those guys deserve more attention than they’ve been getting.

Also, shout out to Gunfire Reborn as well, I’ve been a big fan of that one for a couple years. Similar style to Roboquest. It’s a Chinese game and some parts of it are a little poorly translated but the gameplay is very fun and solid.

Arkhive,

Came here to say Roboquest. Replaced Destiny 2 for me when I finally ditched windows for Linux. Though I would love a harder difficulty coop PvE shooter that has similar feel to Destiny. Roboquest has coop but I will always of raiding with my team.

Also Black Ops 2 is still $60 for the base game and $50 for the season pass. THIS IS A 12 YEAR OLD GAME.

Empricorn,

I didn’t know it was distributed by Nintendo!

helenslunch, do games w Why does the PC gaming industry still use such deceptive pricing?
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

This has nothing to do with the gaming industry, specifically. This is a basic (very effective) marketing strategy. But typically federal regulations prohibit them from advertising something as “on sale” perpetually so it has to be advertised at retail price for x% of the time.

Martineski,

Do you know how feasible is lowering the price permanently?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

You can put a new permanent low price. You just can’t market it as “on sale” or otherwise discounted.

ryathal,

Doing that bankrupted jc penny.

deegeese, do games w Why does the PC gaming industry still use such deceptive pricing?

It’s an attempt at market segmentation. Those who really want to play will pay full price. Less ardent fans wait for a sale.

Did your friend make you want it enough to pay full price?

Buttflapper,

Did your friend make you want it enough to pay full price?

For $60, I would NEVER buy a game that has mostly negative reviews on steam hahaha

It’s also regularly on sale for around $15-20. OP would do well to wait. They probably don’t even have to wait long.

Astro Bot (PS5)

Since my personal GOTY is already taken (Animal Well), let’s just add a lot of peoples’ here — it’s also my second favorite game of the year.

Do you like 3D platforming? Why not try the best platformer since Mario Odyssey‽ Help save your friend bots with a dozen or so hours of the purest platforming fun in…a long time, honestly. People have really hyped this game, and they really aren’t wrong. It’s pure fun the entire time. Everything is beautiful and interesting. No notes, really. Good job Team Asobi.

ZephyrXero,

Easily the best game I’ve played all year 💙

UFO 50 (Steam)

It’s a collection of 50 games, not mini games, from a fictional game developer called UFO Soft in the 1980s. Not every game is a winner, but a ton of them are. You see the advancement in technology and design techniques over the course of the 1980s, and there’s a bit of back story for each game that you can start to put together a throughline for the company and its fictional developers. About half of the games also have local multiplayer. I’d prefer that they also had manuals for each game, especially the more complicated ones, but that means that my favorites in this collection are the simpler games that speak for themselves more quickly.

CrayonRosary,

Mortol is the game of the year.

Gotta cook the planet to win capitalism bro

DragonTypeWyvern,

The most obnoxious thing is that hoarding commodities is not capitalism, at least before it’s time to unload it on the rubes.

SSJMarx,

Every time BTC crashes I say to myself, “I shouldn’t bet on it coming back, this will surely be The One.” Nope, currently higher than it was before the last one.

GhiLA,
@GhiLA@sh.itjust.works avatar

There’s always someone betting it will go up, just as much as someone is betting to go down, but right now, Blackrock and Fidelity own a lot of BTC, and are selling it to investors via actual, official ETF funds.

You can go on Fidelity and buy into this fund without ever touching BTC, and follow the price along with the holders, just like a gold or oil stock.

things are going to be interesting over the next few years. BTC has entities invested in it’s future. I don’t expect a crash below the ETF price, which… from memory was around $50k, because then investors are in the red.

I’m not in BTC, but it’s a fun thing to watch. Personally, I think the mining of it is a cancer to society, but once you strip all of that way, it’s just another index fund as long as private entities can manipulate the waves in their favor.

I like gold more. You can make stuff with it, buuut Gold is at an ATH… buuut if Kamala wins, BTC will dump and Gold is a sanctuary hold for a lot of BTC holders, so, man what a year it’s gonna be.
