But will it come out on my 3DS though…

I stopped playing it particularly because of the 1st-floor experience with items/loot (and active items in general).

Then again, these sort of problems for me seem to run through games (especially roguelikes) often.

smeg,

What about the first floor didn’t you like?

neon_nova,

I don’t really understand. Can you elaborate?

insomniac_lemon, (edited )

It’s not guaranteed to get anything of value before you hit the boss. There aren’t many chests, active items are often highly situational and you may be forced to abandon it. This may be expected/intended and I may even be able to beat the boss anyway, but it’s more tedious.

Very likely that keys and blanks (both multi-functional), more chests, or money don’t drop enough. This already means waiting on making some choices until after the floor is mostly cleared (despite this not being the best/easiest option for survival) especially when it comes to the alternate path.

Also @smeg

smeg,

Fair to not like that, I just assumed it was a deliberate part of the “this game is very hard” design

neon_nova,

Gotcha, I guess I enjoy that a bit. They have a rainbow chest mode. Have you tried that?

Each floor gives you one chest in the starting room and when you opened it, you can choose 1 of 12 items and is guaranteed to be a great item.

insomniac_lemon, (edited )

I think so, but that’s also has massive tradeoffs on its own. If I did that, it was probably mostly Robot w/Ser Junkan runs.

I probably would prefer a mod that makes active items only show up in shops (or perhaps chosen selection/loot-table at the start or per-character). Also: have the RR leave junk when taking some items (not ammo).

I do see one mod (Justice) to alter spawning which would probably help a bit (depending on the character, still not perfect early on). Plus I have other games to be bad at, some of them free (and slightly less frustrating).

hernanca,

I think that’s part of the game, it trains you by making sure you can clear the first levels even if your items are bad or you had bad RNG.

After a while I was able to consistently clear the entire first floor with just my starting revolver (Huntress). Maybe with the Marine it will be easier.

That being said, it can take a long time for this so if you don’t play very often it is definitely frustrating.

Well fuck man, can we get ANY good news lately? I swear I’ll end it right here.

I just feel eh about it all. I prefer seeing them on other platforms and they play better on them. I'm just not that impressed that they finally get to be on Switch 2.

I need to rephrase that. I’m not believing until I see the game released

JulieL, do games w GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

Is GOG a popular store among gamers?

scholar,

Among a subset of gamers who care about owning the things that they buy, yes

ryathal,

It’s my second store, but it’s still a distant second to steam.

73CC,

It’s my #1 shop for games. DRM free (my games, not just a licence) and I support preservation of retro games.

Oooh, AC Shadows. Not going tonread anything as I want to play it (someday), but how are you liking it? Would like a non-spoilory review.

Skunk,
@Skunk@jlai.lu avatar

Non-spoilery review: It’s cool.

I kinda like all AC games but I also really enjoy this one. I love playing a stealth assassin and Naoe (the Japanese girl) perfectly fit that gameplay as she is not made for frontal assault.

The other character is also nice to sometimes have a one man army, if you want to disconnect your brain and just go head on an enemy group, it is a welcome change of pace when you want that.

Ubi’s Open World are graphic wonders as always but this one is a step above. I am really used to 4K HDR gaming and this game is probably the best looking one I have on my PC.

As a side note, I took a Ubi+ for one month to play it and will buy the game when there is a discount.

Plantfoodclock,

I like playing as Yosuke too, but it’s hard to keep playing as him as it’s an Assassins creed game so much of the open world relies on being agile and climbing, which he can do somewhat but not enough that I don’t need to switch to Naoe (really fun doing a leap of faith with him though, I expected they’d just spawn me on the ground). It is nice being a one man army and all but really, his only use value is when I want to have an easy fight and the handful of quests/activities that necessitate him. His character doesn’t feel like an afterthought but he doesn’t feel like his play style is fully utilized.

Generally, I’m still happy with having the two different characters for different gameplay, but I just wished I had more reason to play as both instead of sticking to one and switching when it’s necessary.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Without spoilers, i’m really enjoying it. It simplified the lengthy RPG mechanics the older games had, and the story is a major improvement imo. Stealth is also way more prevalent here (but if you preferred the Valhalla route of combat mainly you can do that too). Parkour is awesome too, but the wilderness could use some work. It still inherits a few flaws from the RPG titles, but it’s very much a return to form for the franchise

That PS3 custom-mod is absolute mint!

I wonder if cribsnib has any intention of selling kits/shells — I can’t say for certain if I’d be able to afford it, but goddamn do I want one!

He is and does!

I didn’t include a link to it in case my post felt like it pushed people to shops, or whatever (tbh its probably a remnant of paranoia from Reddit days - having mods remove posts for a myriad of reasons!)

But here is a link to his etsy store selling exactly this! Just looked it up and found it for you :)

HalfSalesman, (edited ) do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 30th

I just beat Rayman legends (though not to completion) on my Steam Deck. Rayman Origins was better IMO. Next Steam Deck game is Disco Elysium, a friend wants me to play it so we can discuss it. Thus far it seems really well made but I’m extremely early (I just finished the first conversation).

Also been playing Killing Floor 2 with some friends on my desktop here and there. Doing the whole spreadsheet analysis of the game’s weapons and classes. I often can’t enjoy casual coop and pvp games unless I can do in-depth analysis and theory crafting.

Also about to start playing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (PC) on my desktop in my quest to check off every Ubisoft game I own. I recently beat Advanced Warfighter 1 and 2 on 360 (XB1 emulation) and can say they’re solidly enjoyable semi-linear cover shooters of their era. I even played Ghost Recon 2 & Summit Strike on OG Xbox before that (I like to play through the entire series of games from original release). Look forward to seeing how they evolved the series before they turned it into open world Ubi-slop with Wildlands & Breakpoint.

Also about to start my first playthrough of Last of Us Part II (PS4) in anticipation of the second season of the show. Technically restart, I’ve played the first 5 hours or so already, but lost my save file.

And finally, I hope to try and get back into Skyrim VR. but I’m already pretty overloaded so I’m doubtful I’ll have time to continue my current save this week.

chloyster,

Def agree on origins > legends. Origins is one of my all time faves. Legends is still great tho

I still don’t use gog much. Last game I got there was free through Amazon prime, I think. It was Lego star wars episode 1, and while I usually really enjoy the Lego games, controller support was totally busted, so I ended up not giving it much time. 🙁

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Keep on claiming those free games! Its my fav deal in gaming now - for the cost of a Prime subscription you get a whole bunch of games, each week! A lot of quality GOG games, alongside Epic and Amazon’s own.

You can’t lose by claiming them, each month suprieses me with how much I get for an add-on to a subscription I already use :)

4shtonButcher,

I think we all lose by supporting Amazon 😜

I get it though, I used to use it too a few years back. Honestly never played anything I claimed through it
