ShaunaTheDead, do gaming w Why do video game devs tie game mechanics to framerate?
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

In the past, games were developed with specific hardware in mind. They didn't really think of how their game would run on modern PCs 25+ years later. Some games even used that as a feature, famously, Space Invaders devs noticed that the game started speeding up as players destroyed more of the enemies because it didn't have to render them and so it made the game harder as you progressed which was more fun!

By the way, there are ways to run retro games with speed limiters, you've just got to look into it more.

NuPNuA,

Remember all those early 90s PC titles that were tied to processor speed so they just ran at a mental pace when the next generation launched?

poke, do gaming w [Temtem] What are the things you wish you knew when you started the game ?

Your starter will not be appreciably stronger than other tems. Most are balanced out to be somewhat usable I’m the endgame, whether it be by stats, moveset, or ability. I would argue that some starters are just better than other due to their type being hard to find until mid game and useful early on. Also, tems that don’t evolve will be way stronger in the early game, since they are somewhat balanced with tems that do evolve later on.

Don’t be scared to experiment with different tems and see if some fit your playstyle better, because of that.

There are also occasionally hidden or hard to find areas that have a very small chance to find a tem that’s only available there. These tem are usually pretty good, so you may want to spoil yourself if you want to catch them all.

Also, much like Pokemon’s IVs, tem have stats that vary. However, these numbers are visible to you. If you know you want a tem on your team, it might be worth catching a few for better stats.

Finally, unlike in pokemon where creatures evolve at a set level, tems evolve after gaining a certain number of levels after capture.

Hamano,

Great ! Thanks for all the infos !

Are the hidden tems missable ? Or I can get them later ?

poke,

Sorry for the late response, but you can get them later!

Hamano,

No worries! Thank you!

Reminds me of LEGO Island where turning is tied to frame rate.

UKFilmNerd, do gaming w What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

Recently I completed Crossing Souls. It’s a game overloaded with 80s nostalgia. The soundtrack is from two composers. The first has 80s synth tracks while the other providers John Williams / Amblin like scores as the story of a group of young friends and feels like a movie from that time.

OtterPops, do gaming w Cosy, brainless games when you're sick

A few brainless clicks now and then, you say? A couple years ago I was sick and I played the game The Longing and I remember thinking it was the perfect stuck at home sick game.

I played The Longing when I wasn’t sick, but the pacing felt worse than sluggish, so it was a quick refund.

OtterPops,

See that’s the problem. You have to be sick enough that you need everything to move at a snail’s pace. Lol

shakesbeare, do gaming w Need Mod Suggestions to make Witcher 3 less grindy
@shakesbeare@beehaw.org avatar

See you found a solution but I’m still curious how you had this problem. There were very few enemies that I felt had a health pool wildly too large and it was usually as a result of the enemy upscaling feature rather than death March. Those two enemies begin the Djinn and a certain swordsman fight from the DLC.

I had to consistently play with upscaling on because the enemies were generally too squishy and I was killing them so fast the challenge of death March was wasn’t completely unnoticeable.

I wonder if it was your build or perhaps some other aspect of your gameplay that made this happen?

@snowbell@beehaw.org avatar

I ended up quitting the game because some early game enemies were too tough, on casual mode :(

When people say stuff like this it makes me feel like I’m missing something

followthewhiterabbit,

I see this weird Death March thing everywhere. I replayed through recently on the easiest setting (story and sword, I think its called?) and had a GREAT time.

If you ever feel the urge, I can’t recommend it enough. The first couple hours of playing are like an extended tutorial. The entirety of White Orchid is a learning zone, really.

As everyone says, once you reach the Bloody Baron quest, you see just how amazing the game and the writing can be!

Zo0, do gaming w What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?

not to be a hater but GTAV Radio station songs are ‘licensed music’ not soundtracks, also you can just fire up spotify or youtube if you just wanna listen to them instead of running GTAV each time

The benefit to the radio stations in game is that you get the silly commercials and commentary too. I like the whole package together. Sometimes I’ll drive around while just listening too, which is fun.

Tastyzero, do gaming w What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?

The Dig, FFVII, Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis, Morrowind, Quake.

Lots more, especially classic midi tracks but those are my top 5 (subject to change of mood and season).

Omegamanthethird,

Shout out to Morrowind. That opening menu BOOM, BOOM-BOOM gives me chills.

Also Final Fantasy VIII, X, XII are some of my favorites of the series. But the franchise really has a lot of top-tier music.

Fallout: New Vegas might be enjoyable for you. It is a smaller game than skyrim, and has everything you like about skyrim and more.

SenorBolsa, do gaming w Anyone else remember those giant scale maps that used to be in shooters? e.g. bathroom, kitchen, office, backyard, that made you feel so tiny?

HL2DM had some awesome rat maps. I need to backup my collection of source maps off my old hard drive.

anon6789, (edited ) do gaming w Recommendations for open world games with focus on interaction instead of exploration or survival

I think Life is Strange (I’ve only played the first one) may possibly be of interest. There’s no action like GTA or Watchdogs, but it’s all about your interactions with the NPCs and the town.

It felt there was blowback at the ending when it came out because people said your choices didn’t matter, but I thought the point of the game was to influence you to make thoughtful and impactful decisions, not to influence the NPCs. I really got a lot out of the experience.

There are moments the game won’t tell you about like when opening a window or watering a plant will change future events. Whether you find this outcomes significant or not will be related to your enjoyment of the game as whole.

AnarchoYeasty,

Life is strange is pretty far from a open world game though and the options for meaningful interactions are virtually non existent.

Bo prowadzi do gigantycznych nierówności społecznych, skrajnej prawicy, a ostatecznie do faszyzmu.

Kubenqpl,

Skrajna prawica to już nie liberalizm. Polskie opcje typu Konfederacja to nie liberalizm a skrajna prawica. Prowadzą do zamordyzmu ograniczania wolności ideologicznej i państwa katolickiego, z jakimiś tam wstawkami wolności gospodarczej. Właśnie się obawiam że większość myli liberalizm z prawicą konserwatywną
