Dark/Demon Souls. Elden Ring

Rolling to evade incoming enemy attack.

Always thought it being a strange way to do this. Bloodborne and Sekiro dodges seem more realistic.

Hope Vaati explains.

Decoy321,

Hate to break it to you, but this had been around for decades before those games came around.

ryathal,

Monster hunter beat them to it.

Kwakigra, do gaming w best GBA games? I need recommendations

Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis is one of the best tactical rpgs I’ve ever played. I was shocked how short it was when I finished only to find I had been playing for over 40 hours.

Minecraft singlehandedly created a genre called “Survival”.

I think most of the games around 2005’s Indie Game Boom created lots of brilliant mechanics that’s been copied still.

Soggy,

Single-handedly? Nah. It pulled a lot of existing ideas together though, and it’s certainly responsible for the popularity. Another Minecraft influence is early-access.

Another week until the World of Warcraft Expansion releases, and I used the event to level all of my characters to 70. Even my very first character, who hadn’t seen the light of day in over 15 years, is now properly equipped to take on whatever may come. Too bad it’s a priest, which I really don’t like to play, so back into the dungeon he goes. The Remix mode also ends tomorrow, so all of those characters will migrate over to retail, which means I’ll look over those and do some final house cleaning.

Then I’m pretty much done with the Diablo 4 season, but not because it’s boring or anything, but I kinda finished everything I wanted to do and more. I was playing a Chain Lightning Sorcerer, but found the final item to change my build to Lightning Spear, which is just completely overpowered this season. I kinda breezed through everything, killed all the giga versions of the bosses, cleared Pit level 100, the new Infernal Hordes mode on Tier 8, and upgraded all my stuff. Today I killed some more of the Uber bosses and even got two Uber Legendaries (which I salvaged to crafter another one). I might try and push my Pit level a bit higher, and try to kill Echo of Lilith, the final Uber boss, which got reworked somewhat last season or something, so it’s not just you getting one-shot by terrible hit boxes all the time. (Edit: just killed her, wasn’t too bad, but you need to learn the fight a bit, so in the beginning it just feels you randomly die.)

Also, this last year or so I’ve been “playing” Melvor Idle, which is Runescape, but as an idle game. The game recently launched it’s third DLC, but I’ve been holding off on playing it, since I wanted to 100% everything else first. This week I finally got done with the base game and the first DLC and am almost finished with the second DLC, although it might take another one or two weeks just grinding stuff, so I can craft the missing items. I’ve played a bunch of idle or incremental games over the years, but this is definitely my favorite. It’s not a clicker, there is no constant rebirth or whatever, you just choose a skill and you slowly train it. The best part is, you can actually close the game and fully progress offline. The game also has an in-game mod browser with tons of mods, kinda like the Steam Workshop, which is fantastic.

It’s been Deadlock the last couple of days since I got the invite. Not sure if I’ll stick with it. The game has potential but I think I might be too bad at it to ever have fun playing it. Farming is insanely important and between lacking precision aim for last hits and not understanding neutral camp flash farming strats I guess I’m just always behind on economy.

I do alright in fights themselves and feel like I can theoretically perform with a couple of heroes at least, but that doesn’t really matter once you get out statted.

Maybe I’m just getting too old for fast paced shooters, it’s been a while since I played one.

Diablo 3: Season 32 and Diablo 4: Season 5 shenanigans. I'm doing pretty well in both, more so in D4 though; I am wiping the floor with my Necromancer.

I decided on playing through Alien: Isolation again. I only have two achievements left for it on my PC, so once I knock it out I can uninstall and free up some room for other games. But man, I forgot how terrifying this game can be. I always have called it the best stress I have ever experienced in a game, and it still holds up, even when I know where to go and what to do. I'm spending most of my time crawling around on the floor, lol.

Origins was my favorite entry in the series, personally.

I’m still playing Caveblazers. Can’t believe I’ve gotten almost 10 hours out of a game I got for 99 cents, but it’s fun.

DNU, do games w Looking for Overwatch alternatives

Sounds more like a playerbase problem rather than a problem with the game. Paladins is a hero shooter very similar to Overwatch and while the playerbase (EU) isnt that big ive been finding matches for years now whenever i feel like.

Varyag, do games w What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?

Armored Core 6 is pretty easy to 100% and it’s really enjoyable the whole way there. Just don’t bother with PvP.

And my favorite 100% grinding game that I keep playing just because I enjoy it so much, is the Earth Defense Force series. The game encourages you to play each mission with each of the 4 classes in each of the 5 difficulty levels. Even though clearing Hard also gives you Easy and Normal completion too, you’re still looking at over 200 hours of gameplay, easily. The games have over 100 missions, tons of weapons to gradually improve, and at higher levels become true combat puzzles to solve with said weapons. Cheese is a way of life, in an enjoyable way.

SandLight, do games w What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?

Sable was a perfect open world that I 100% in about 30 hrs. Totally didn’t overstay it’s welcome. I think they added a fishing quest after I played it so not sure how much that changed things.

HWK_290,

I really liked that game and got to 100%, but damn the frame drops. Did the devs ever fix that? It was excruciating anytime you took the hover bike anywhere

A7thStone, do games w What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?

The only game I’ve ever done 100% Mario 64

Sekiro

tfw_no_toiletpaper,

Bump for Sekiro. There is not one other game that plays as satisfying. It’s souls crack, I cannot get enough of it

Edit: Except demon of Hatred, fuck this boss

Renacles,

The skill point grind is awful though

Sebastrion, do games w What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?

Super Mario World (I 100% it multiple times)

New Super Mario Bros Wii (I 100% with friends and we still play it time to time via Dolphin Online)

Mario 64 (Also did 100% multiple times)

Mario Galaxy 1 and 2

Super Mario Bros Wonders (I also 100% two times already)

Super Mario Odyssey

Super Mario 3D World + Bowsers Furry

Super Mario Sunshine defiantly NOT!

HOLLY MOLLY to 100% this game you must be a real masochist!

Besides Mario Games: Zelda Majoras Mask, I love this game

Ocarina of Time

Elden Ring (I 100% The Base Game a few times, once Singleplayer a few other times with Seamless Co-op)
