The original RuneScape developers and owners (i.e. Andrew Gower and his brothers) are back with a new game, at a new company, with an industry shattering $5.99/mo subscription price for all content.
No micro transactions, no pay to win, no outrageous DLC pricing, no bull shit … just a fun game with many similarities to OSRS but also modernizations, formula improvements, and lessons learned.
I tried it, and it was really hard to get into. There are some pretty big glaring flaws of the game right now that make it simply unfun to play, in my honest opinion. One of them is the fact that it feels like RuneScape classic, rather than RuneScape 2. For example when you do activities like fishing, you have to click each individual fish over and over again to infinity. Which doesn’t feel enjoyable. Combat is also rather clunky, and there’s little dopamine involved. I also distinctly hate the fact that you cannot do what you want with combat, like you cannot be an archer. You only get like three arrows and then you have to use melee. Also it seems like skills are only usable in one area, once you move on to the next episode, there are no areas to practice those skills anymore. So it’s really not fair in my honest opinion to compare it to RuneScape at all. Once you get into the forest, there is no fishing spot as far as I’m aware… I can respect that people like it but it’s not for me
I mean, fishing is more comparable to mining in RS2, there are other skills (typically refinement oriented skills) that have more down time between clicks.
Combat I definitely feel needs refinement. Though, I actually do like the fact that combat is not “I have a bow and I’m shooting something 1 tile in front of me and/or safe spotting.”
The skills are only trained in one area, but they have interactions across areas. You use resources gathered in the forest in town and in the mines. The weapons you make in the mines can be tuned to any other location (etc…)
A lot of this is to solve the long time MMO issue of “new content is released but it’s only for high level players and long time layers in general have a ton of advantages in the new area.”
Tak, był w jakimś paradokumencie, z dekadę temu, chyba na TVNie, nie pamiętam, czy “Dlaczego ja?”, ale może tak – skłoting pokazany z patologicznej strony.
I was playing the demo of TCG sim today and was just thinking that myself. In fact, I’m pretty sure I watched a YouTuber play a sort of life sim game where you could do just about anything but it had full 3D graphics and an isometric view. I wish I could remember the name, because from what I remember you could start a business or be a criminal, or work your way up to CEO or even mayor.
I have one and my kids share it with me, but considering a second. They support profiles. My son plays it on the couch while my daughter watches her shows, and then they’ll put it on the tv and play Mario kart together.
Trying to heal in World of War craft. I feel like the large number of spell effects makes it hard for people to see where it’s safe to stand.
Deadlybossmod for audio alerts on what is coming your way. I also use GTFO for my emotional support awoogaa sound effect to tell me I am standing in the fire.
Don’t forget to install weakauras. In WoWhead you can download pre-made profiles, look for the add on section in class guides.
Finally, you can better see when your cooldowns are ready with TellMeWhen. I personally only use the floating combat text to let me know I can push out another cooldown. There is a ton of utility in this one that I am just to much of a caveman to utilize.
Why did I get back into wow?!?!? Like I needed another reason to drink. The level design is on point in this expansion at least.
Also, factorio makes me want to quit my jobs and play it until I run out of money and get evicted (again)
Just started Stardew Valley because I needed a distraction from the current Fortnite season which I really don’t like. I never touched it because I assumed it would be just like Terraria, but so far it’s so fun!
The upscaling technologies they’ve been building into modern graphics stacks also have benefits for much older games where the performance isn’t necessarily needed. There’s an old game I like to play, Railroad Tycoon 2, which doesn’t run at resolutions higher than 1024x768 and modern upscaling can make that game look absolutely gorgeous despite being 4+ pixels per original pixel. I’m sure it provides similar benefits to emulators and the like too!
My system (a laptop, all I’ve got 'cause I had to skitterflee from doomness v.v ) can’t run much so I’m kinda stuck at “playable” framerates on old games :-\ I kinda hate to admit it but I’ve been playing Borderlands 2 … the Linux version, 'cause the Windows version, which has a bunch of patches and mod support, just doesn’t run well enough for me 😭 Can’t even get any DLC, though I’ve been really wanting to try Gaige. May be too burnt out to enjoy it any more anyway.
Before that was Titan Quest, which just doesn’t really play like I wish it did. Played it a bunch anyway. Bleh.
So now I’m just sitting around trying to avoid losing my mind to boredom or despair. flailyskitters around in circles 😵💫
