Wow, this completely snuck up on me. How exciting!

BananaTrifleViolin, do games w Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?

Genuinely not had a problem with mods, and I’ve been PC gaming for decades. Of course sometimes mods don’t work but thats life. Just be patient, you’ll get it done.

Decent mods have a readme file - follow the steps strictly - no skipping thinking you know better - and they should work.

Also look on YouTube or search online for guides - people often provide step by step guides to mod games purely out of a love for gaming.

Keep going - mods can be great, and its one of the many benefits of PC gaming. You’ll get there!

Is that half-life generation? Damn, I bet kids these days haven’t even heard of that one.

Zahille7,

Just looked it up and it was basically Orange Box before Half-Life 2

At one point recently I bought a two pack of USB Blu-ray burner drives for $25. Optical media is so dirt cheap now that the readers are BOGO. Gave one to my partner, the other is still serving my physical media needs very well.

HakFoo,

Where? That sounds like a good price as internal SATA BD-RE drives tend to be $60+

Mostly Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Feels like this game took half a step forward and two steps back, compared to the first part. It tries to do a lot of things and doesn’t do many well. There’s minigames-ish for so many things. The open-world stuff kinda tries to be Assassin’s Creed lite, but all zones are huge, but pretty empty, with the same two types of “events” in them (go somewhere or fight). Of course, the game has a shitty crafting system, so you can pick up material in the empty zones. Combat is a bit better than before, but then the devs managed to craft the perfect enemies to make some fights feel like hell, even worse than the worst fights in Remake, and I’m not even done with the game yet. I’ve played the game for 40 hours, but the story has barely moved. I think there’s supposed to be an alternate timeline, but I think I’ve seen like five minutes of it. It’s been pretty disappointing so far, but I still like the characters, so I’ll continue playing.

Then a bit Baldur’s Gate 3. Started another Honor Mode run, going with pretty much the same party build as my first run, where I almost made it. The full fighter playthrough has to wait for the next Patch.

leftytighty, do games w HoMM3 is still fun!

Songs of Conquest is a spiritual successor you might be interested in checking out. I agree HoMM3 is still great to revisit and SoC doesn’t quite scratch the exact same itch but it’s a good way to get more of the same but with some variety keeping it fresh

Anyone here using the VCMI project? Really impressive what they’ve done

Aurenkin, do games w HoMM3 is still fun!

Do you have a favourite faction? I seem to remember really enjoying tower but it’s been a while.

SuzyQ,

Not OP, but my favorite faction was dungeon. Getting all those black dragons and having a good ole time across the map… I need to pick it back up.

Aurenkin,

Those were awesome as well. I just remembered the necropolis faction as well, I think it was in 3 that you could get insane numbers of skeletons / skeleton archers. Probably 5 as well.

How different is the combat compared to the first one? Exactly the same or is there some improvement seen?

boblin,

To be honest, it’s still a little hectic for me, but I feel the most notable change is that you can avoid being countered / masterstriked. By positioning your weapon, you can block, perfect block (allows you to strike back) or masterstrike which remains unblockable. There is now an interesting back and forth between blocking, striking back and being blocked, which can go on forever - until someone has no stamina left or someone pulls off a masterstrike.

psx_crab,

Interesting! Is it still hard as heck in 1v2? The first game lock your target in combat by default and it’s hard to see, react, or shift between enemies, the game simply not allow me to do so reliably that i keep dying very early into the game. I remember i have to mod it to make it so it’s easier to do so.

boblin,

Yes, you don’t want to fight against more than one enemy, the game even has a tutorial with a stylistic drawing of you lining up the enemies in a line, so that only one can engage you at any time. I managed to pull this off with two enemies, with three you would need to tank some hits.

GrammarPolice, do games w What are your favorite games for killing nazis?

Metal Gear Solid 3. Close enough right?

PagingDoctorLove,

That game gave me my very first migraine 😂

GrammarPolice,

Why a migraine?

PagingDoctorLove,

Loud noises, big screen TV, dark room. It was a terrible combo.

hyacin, do gaming w What video game franchises do you not need to start from the very beginning to enjoy? What would you recommend as the entry point into your favorite series?

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Hooked me and then I explored lots of the rest of the series!

PyroNeurosis, do games w What are your favorite games for killing nazis?

I enjoy me a good HoI 4. Less visceral, but I get to kill them by the company instead.

RedAggroBest,

It’s fun to watch the Nazis lose territory, until they aren’t and suddenly America and Russia are both Fasc and I’m just crying trying to keep my people happy enough to be willing to go to war

Loved the first one I’m please to see they seem to have landed a proper sequel!

BmeBenji, do gaming w What are some games you like that most people hate and/or were panned by critics?

The Surge is way better than a sci-fi souls-like attempt that so many reviews seem to argue it is. And Shammy’s review of it really does it better justice than most reviews imo. The limb-targeting system makes it really engaging, and the sequel’s directional parry system adds the depth that Dark Souls and Elden Ring are missing. I highly recommend it for anyone tired of replaying Souls games

AceFuzzLord, do gaming w What are some games you like that most people hate and/or were panned by critics?

Extremely easy question: Sonic The Hedgehog (AKA Sonic '06). Such a buggy mess, but I absolutely loved playing it on 360 and definitely wanna play it again some day.
