mysticpickle, (edited ) do games w Why do new Silent Hill entries attract so much negativity?

Probably because Konami has been pooping the bed when it comes to the franchise ever since Silent Hill 2. The last hint of anything remotely good to come out from them was the Playable Teaser over 10 years ago and of course they fucked that up too.

I am salty as fuck about PT.

As a standalone entry it was absolutely fantastic, I loved every second of playing it. As a demo it got me so incredibly hyped about the full game.

And then Konami pulled some of the dumbest shit I have ever seen.

How do you play a different game every day? Don’t you have a campaign in one game that extends over multiple days? I could never juggle games the way you do.

But kudos to you, and congratulations on 400 days! I always upvote your posts whenever I see them in my feed.

I was asking the same thing a year ago 😅

Though it’s mainly multiple story-heavy games at once I couldn’t do myself I think. Jumping back and forth between Minecraft and Halo and Mario Kart and what have you feels slightly different.

I have a lot of free time. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed lately so i’ve been bouncing around from thing to thing until i find something i can fit into my schedule. Usually my evenings are free though and i play multiplayer with friends which is always a guarantee

Katana314, do games w AI at the World’s Biggest Games Event(Gamescom) Booked Random Meetings for Attendees

That’s fine, just have the AIs book random meetings with each other, while the humans meet for human meetings. Then bill the AI companies a full convention ticket for each AI that attended the other AIs’ meetings.

TheSambassador, do games w Lies of p has been really good!

I also really enjoyed it! Kinda felt mid about the story but the setting was phenomenal. The DLC is VERY good and I highly recommend it.

tiz,

Awesome to hear the dlc is good! I’m liking Lies of p more than I originally thought. So I might buy it too:)

MarcomachtKuchen, do gaming w Can we talk about the Roblox situation?

Roblox is a pure abyss devoid of humanity and I wish them just the worst. Also I belive 100% that everything you wrote is the truth, but I also believe in adding some sources when the matter is of such a significance

descartador,

Maybe I can add later but I just read superficially about it, maybe someone can contribute with some sources

SereneSadie,

To me, it was a convenient 3D modelling game engine that allowed for live drop-in/drop-out testing of scripts and functions.

Its just disappointing that the social side has become so catastrophically horrific that it will likely drag the utility down with it.

The more time passes, the more I feel Prey was one of the best games I’ve ever played. Can’t really feel bad for System Shock 3 not happening, Prey was the SS3 that I wanted.

I really hope Raph Colantonio’s new game delivers more immersive sim goodness upon this world, games with such reactivity are sorely missed.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Is it similar to System Shock? I think I got the first for free but had no clue it was similar to prey. Maybe I’ll have to give that a try next

46_and_2,

I’ve only played parts of the first System Shock, so can’t speak of that or its remake until I finish it. But Prey’s very much a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, devs have said it themselves, and the similarities are a ton. Prey (2016) is still its own thing, different story, world etc., but the underlying immersive sim systems, the once again story of “you’re locked in this space station/ ship gone wrong and have to gradually progress through it while finding all its inhabitants mysteries” - it hits the same notes and it’s exactly what you’d want from a spiritual successor.

I think you’ll get a similar kick of the System Shock 2 remaster, the first one might be a tad more retro and limited even with the modern remake.

Skipcast, do games w Begun the kernel wars have

This only happens if you’re running both games at the same time. Still not great but not as bad as it looks.

Gonzako,

Are ya sure? Valorants anti cheat is always on

Skipcast,

Yes. I don’t have the source unfortunately but @AntiCheatWard on Twitter confirmed it

sinokon,

Just checked a few sources and yes it only happens when Valorant is already running and you launch BF6

Carighan,
@Carighan@piefed.world avatar

It uses an anti-cheat that is loaded while the game is not? What is this and why is anybody playing it at all? O.o

markz,

All of these companies keep looking for places they can get an inch more. Sometimes it backfires, but other times it succeeds and gets normalized.

Gonzako,

Nope, valorants anti cheat loads on boot and embeds itself on deep windows callbacks to see everything in and out

r00ty,

I can tell you why they do it. Which is to get installed at launch time (like a driver required to boot for example), so they can watch absolutely everything that loads into the system.

But yes, I wouldn't play any game that needs a kernel anti-cheat.

bridgeenjoyer,

Kind of funny now we need to go back to consoles to play games because these asshole corps want to hijack our pcs.

HK65,

Or just don’t play these games. There are enough games out there that you’ll never run out of decent ones.

Smoogs,

Agreed. The steam sales alone could keep you so busy that you probably couldn’t even get around to test each one in one life time.

Chances are if we tried we’d probably find one that you like equal if not better.

I got a console when I switched to Linux. This has been a problem for decades now. So I’ve got one corporate game box that works with my friends, and one computer that I actually control.

bridgeenjoyer,

I just prefer my main pc to do everything…but I will probably not play those games anyways

thermal_shock,

Most don’t know, don’t care, just want more games.

Zetta, (edited ) do games w what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?
  1. TF2

Its just so good, played it a fair bit when I was a young teen and picked it up again a couple years ago and haven’t stopped playing 8 - 20 hours a week. Best game ever imo, never gets old.

  1. Garry’s Mod

Easily my favorite game when I was in middle school and high school, and it still holds a very dear spot in my heart and memories from that era of my life. Excited for s&b

  1. Cyberpunk 2077

I remember seeing the teaser trailer when I was a preteen and was so hyped, took like 10 years but when it did come out I had covid (which was lucky for me because I didn’t feel that sick and I got paid leave for 14 days to play the game). Played on PC from day 1 and beat the game In a week or so, it wasn’t that buggy imo. I loved the story and I encountered minimal issues during my play through, and only one that caused me to need to reload a save.

Other favs probably rimworld, gta 4, stanleys parable

Sometimes the game is just annoying about certain things / buggy. Especially in older games

An excellent opportunity to reference a bit of true Internet culture: Old Man Murray’s dressdown of one of the puzzles in Gabriel Knight 3. The most relevant part is their final summary:

IWW4, do games w Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing.

RDR2 is on my list and I need to stop fiddling around with all my other games and play this one.

All I ever hear is great things about this game.

thessnake03,

I was in the same boat as you until a few months ago when I started. Well worth it. The story is great, I’m not to the end yet (been savoring). Game play is very much like gta. Get to it!

chiliedogg,

It’s also a very long campaign with several points that feel like they’re coming up on the ending, only for a lot more game and story to come afterward.

Dariusmiles2123,

I’m not gonna spoil anything bit I didn’t enjoy the story.

Maybe it’s just me and I would play it again if it was a 20 hours game, but it’s too long for me to give it another chance.

I loved the ambiance and gameplay though. I think I enjoyed the first one more because the story wasn’t bad, but it has been ages…

FrictionFiction,

it’s the best game I ever played. I waited years to play it and I played it two years ago, on pc. Amazing. Outrageously good. when I finished playing it, I deleted it off my computer and I set up a block on Reddit before I left Reddit permanently, so that I don’t see any mention of it. I just wanted to forget that I never played it and forget the story so that I could have that feeling of playing it for first time. I think in a year maybe two I’ll be ready to play it again. I can’t wait to forget more about it, so I can experience it again.

BrundleFly2077,

Genuine piece of advice, if you have the patience for it - walk everywhere, don’t use fast travel. Treat it like a hiking sim sometimes and it will reward you with vibes like no other game.

It does mean that sometimes you’ll have a session where nothing happens and you don’t progress any of the missions/story… but I always found it to be super worth it.

IWW4,

Ok will do

123,

I found this video rather relevant. It made me enjoy some nice sunsets on the witcher 3 (started playing it recently):

youtu.be/uhCBhFovTVI

Maybe it will enhance your play through as well. I agree sometimes not much happens, but it feels more rewarding than trying to min/max the run for whatever reason.

brap,

Absolutely. Just stumbling on an empty shack but the contents telling a tale about who was there before is fascinating. Among many other reasons.
