RickyRigatoni, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?
@RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml avatar

Steam, because I would want to support the company that respects linux users.

@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

GOG also offers Linux versions of any games that have such a version.

racketlauncher831,

You’re right, but I think OP meant almost all the games that are developed by Valve have a Linux version, meanwhile non of the games developed by CDPR has it.

hawkmoon, do gaming w What game mechanics do you love and hate?

Limited re-specing. Playing FFXVI right now and the free, on the fly, just open the menu and experiment respec is a tremendeous breath of fresh air.

Totally agree, I don’t want to have to do research before or during playing and have to consult a build guide for every level up, just so I don’t mess up my character.

Just let me fuck around, find out and do it better all over again in my own time.

Stillhart, do gaming w Which Dragon Age games are worth playing?

Origins is definitely the best and the closest to that classic Bioware feel you like.

DA2 was polarizing but I enjoyed it. Very different from the first mechanically. Worth playing tho, IMHO.

DA:I was… not fun for me. I feel like they tried to modernize the formula and added all the worst parts of modern (at the time) games, namely HUGE time sinks for no reason because it’s not a fucking MMORPG that makes money by the hour. /deep breath Sorry, I am still a little bitter at how that game turned out. Anyways, probably worth checking out, maybe you will feel differently. But it wasn’t for me.

sgriff,

Dragon age 2 was insanely fun to me, i definitely played it more than origins. (Im aware I’m not in the majority with that) I thought the combat was so fun and i loved doing different play throughs with different builds in that game

2 definitely shows the issue of EA wanting to push the game out in 1.5 years. Many cut corners and a lack of assets with the repetitive maps.
I think it's the weakest entry in the Dragon Age series, and a lot of it's negative reception was because it failed to live up to expectations of DAO.

If Dragon Age 2 wasn't a Dragon Age game, it wouldn't have gotten the poor reviews it got. As a standalone game it's actually not bad.

I always recommend playing it, as it directly leads into the story of Inquisition and it has some great characters in it.

DA2 was polarizing but I enjoyed it.

The writing was pretty good. Just gets boring playing literally the same ten maps over, and over, and over, and over again.

CoffeeMan,

DA2 takes a different take for me when I realized that you’re playing through Varric’s retelling of the story. It kinda explains why people are falling out of the sky to join the battle and other inconsistencies.

beetelier,

This gets often overlooked, glad it got brought up. The entire game is an exercise in unreliable narration. Gives you a very different lens to experience the game through.

Dee_Imaginarium, do gaming w What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

I want Star Citizen… The Star Citizen that was promised in the Kickstarter… Still waiting.

Ultima Online is a 25 year old MMO that still has the original servers running. The install is about 3GB and can run on any PC from the last 20 years. For the official servers, the player base is largest on Atlantic and you can sign up for a free Endless Journey account. PVP is only allowed in certain zones.

There are many many player run servers that fit a lot of play styles. The most populated being Outlands. That is where I mainly play as it is by far the most populated UO server, 2.5k-3k people on usually. Just beware, outside of the starting zone and towns, it is open PVP almost everywhere.

City of Heroes now has player run servers. The install is around 5GB. Homecoming is the most populated, with a lot of added content. Rebirth is less populated but tries to be the closest experience to the official servers.

Likewise, Everquest is still running, including some semi-official EQ-classic servers. Server population might be measured in hundreds – a far cry from the 500k peak in 2002.

For vnovels, check out Katawa Shoujo. It has a great storyline and characters, and it’s free!

If you’re looking for a platformer I’d recommend Flipwitch - Forbidden Sex Hex

burntbacon,

Man, you’re mean. You can’t recommend that without at least a warning of the box of tissues that you’ll need nearby. You’ll be responsible for water stains on desks everywhere.

ouRKaoS,

Flipwitch is a fantastic little Metroidvania that I can’t talk to my “normal” gaming friends about.

Its*. This word is an exception to the rule of using an apostrophe to indicate possession. It’s is always a contraction for “it is”.

CeeBee_Eh,

I didn’t even catch that the first time. But what should we expect from garbage software?

jsomae,

It’s not an exception. Pronouns never have apostrophes for possessive.

His. Hers. Theirs. Its.

Co-Op SpoilersBy the end of the coop story and it’s DLC you also realise that she’s still a lot softer like she is when accompanying Chell in the main game. She tries to pretend to still be ruthless and unfeeling but that mask falls off a few times.

Edit: specified spoiler is for co-op

Nebula,
@Nebula@fedia.io avatar

Never closed a spoiler again so fast. 😅 haven't played coop yet.

MrScottyTay,

Sorry, i should’ve specified it was co-op. I highly recommend finding a friend to play it though, it’s a great experience.

Nebula,
@Nebula@fedia.io avatar

Thankfully I only read until coop. Didn't spoil me, it's all good.

IceSoup,

The coop is genuinely incredible

MidsizedSedan,

Man, now I want to play co-op more…

I haven’t read the spoiler, but the fact that there is something that requires a spoiler tag makes it should a lot more interesting

FuyuhikoDate, (edited )

It took me Yeats to finish coop (because too much other games and being an adult sucks) but daaamn when we finished it, we had a blast.

Hope ya get an Chance. It was very good :)

SlartyBartFast,

I needed William Butler Yeats to get thru the coop as well

FuyuhikoDate,

I hate my phone and lemmy for always pointing out that i didnt double check autocorrect… 🤣

dukemirage,

That’s also heavily implied during the game.

PunnyName, (edited )

During the game, yes.

spoilerBut at the end of the game, when she replaced Wheatley, she indicates that she deleted Caroline because it made her soft. Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You
