Telorand, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

Subnautica in space. “Breathedge” came close, but it just didn’t quite get the sandbox element right.

bionicjoey,

“Subnautica in space” as in “outer space” or “on an alien planet”? Because outer space is kinda empty. Probably wouldn’t make for as lively a backdrop as under an ocean

Telorand,

The way Breathedge got around it initially is the starting area is a ship crash, so you collect broken bits of the ship(s) (which includes water and food).

But space is vast. Why couldn’t there be space fauna? Or a way to travel to nearby system planets? Its fiction, after all. We don’t need to be constrained by reality.

bionicjoey,

If you get a spaceship and can just go wherever, that sounds to me exactly like NMS. I think part of what makes Subnautica what it is is the constrained resources of the environment, and that feeling of being stranded. NMS lets you just bum around space forever, which is fun, but you don’t really feel that need for survival like you do in Subnautica.

Telorand,

NMS is survival in space, insomuch as planets are in space and you can fly around in a ship, but you start on a planet. I was thinking more like having to survive in space by building the ship in space, building a station in space, etc. Space would be your primary sandbox, rather than planets (at least initially).

The normal NMS experience isn’t quite what I’m envisioning. Maybe if you started on one of those abandoned freighters, though…

SomethingBurger, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

Endless procedurally generated open-world omni-directional 2D shoot-em-up. Start with a weak spaceship and go on missions to find new weapons and ship improvements. Go to spaceports to buy and sell stuff, fight against aliens or Lovecraftian monsters, survive asteroid waves, find the treasure inside the hostile nebula.

There's pieces of that in Everspace, I could totally see your game working and being pretty fun in a similar manner, less arcadey than Everspace, but still accessible

Not exactly, but Cosmoteer might scratch that itch partially.

Littleyush, do games w What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?

If you can handle dying a lot while learning the ins and outs of the world, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Anomaly is a wonderful package completely for free. Especially if you add the G.A.M.M.A. modpack to it, makes the game play significantly deeper, much harder (in some bullshit and also fair ways), but also just crazy immersive; makes you feel like the actions you take do matter, but if you were to die, you’d just be another loot bag for some other Stalker to come across

I haven’t played Stalker but I did finish Into the Radius which is heavily inspired by it.

Littleyush,

Oh Into The Radius made me shit myself in fear more times than I’d like to admit

Probably one of the best vr titles I’ve played. You really feel the isolation.

bl4ckblooc, do games w What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?

Brute Force for the original Xbox. 4 player squad based gameplay, with different squads full of characters with unique abilities. It was a ‘platinum hit’ but I’m pretty sure anything that sold more than 500 copies was

chunkystyles,

I wanted that game so hard but never played it. It looked so cool to me as a teenager.

My big one, because I am playing the successor right now would be the Commandos-reinvention line of games by Mimimi Software:

They’re very faithful reproductions of the old Commandos-formula, real time tactics about sneaking and stabbing through a dense map full of guards covering each other, finding spots where to get in with specific abilities of your varying characters. In the newest one in particular, your pirates are recruited in any order you like, and being supernatural in nature they have some wild abilities. Your starting character can briefly freeze time for a target. Your Quartermaster can possess people. A skeleton has a golden head he can toss to make guards come over to try pick it up and then make their corpse disappear by using his fishing pole to drag it into the endless chest he has on his back.

Sub the 7950x3d for a 7800x3d, and swap the GPU for a 4070 or 7800 xt. You can likely swap the MB, but I’ll let someone else speak to that one.

Where I would spend money is with two NVMe drives. A 1TB drive for the OS and a 2TB game drive. You can add a spinning HD for mass storage if needed.

If you really want to save some money, go with an x570 MB and a 5800x3D. But I’d stay with the GPUs from this gen. Downside is you have no room for upgrades down the line.

For reference, I have an x570 MB, 5800x3D, and a 6750xt GPU. I’m not having issues running games.

Definitely agree that 7800x3D is better value for gaming. Depending on the games played and choice of GPU, the 7600 could provide an even better value option. The 4090 is the only offering from Nvidia that makes sort of sense IMO (and only if you want to spend a lot for the best) with 7900 xtx > 7900 > 7800 the better choices in order of higher to lower performance and lower to higher value.

That being said, all the components are way overkill for 60 fps at 1080p. If you are not going to capitalize on the performance with a higher framerate and resolution monitor, there really is not a need for this tier of components at all. A used B550/B450 board and a 7600 could easily drive modern gamed with lower settings at 60fps/1080p at a fraction of the price.

kid4today, do gaming w Should I stick with The Outer Wilds? (EDIT: yes)
@kid4today@feddit.uk avatar

Honestly, the game might not be for you. I had a similar experience with it. I kept thinking it would change up a gear at some point but it never does.

Floating around in that ship and reading bits of text is basically all you do.

Hmmmm… ok thanks.

Pinklink, do gaming w Should I stick with The Outer Wilds? (EDIT: yes)

You got enough feedback I think but just to add: yeah use ship log, and the game is absolutely incredible. One of my top three of all time. No, there is never any action in the way you prob thinking about it.

sylverstream, do gaming w Should I stick with The Outer Wilds? (EDIT: yes)

I’ve given it three tries as everyone was raving about it. Just didn’t click, guess just not my game which is fine. So perhaps it’s not your game either.

perishthethought,
@perishthethought@lemm.ee avatar

Yep, fair point. Keeping this in mind.

sim_, do gaming w Should I stick with The Outer Wilds? (EDIT: yes)

I bounced off the game originally too. There’s a lot to take in (and I never quite mastered the spaceship), but once things start clicking it’s an unparalleled experience.

I… huh. OK. I guess.

navi, do gaming w What was the formative horror game of your childhood?
@navi@lemmy.tespia.org avatar

Silent Hill 2 was creepy as hell. We’d all budle up around a TV and start it after the parents went to bed and turn off all the lights.

F.E.A.R. as well.

I also couldn’t finish the Bioshock demo because I was too sacred so I made my brother play it for me.

Spellinbee, do games w Mad Max vs Days Gone, which do you like more?

I really enjoyed Mad Max, but didn’t particularly like Days Gone. So Mad Max for my vote.

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Thief 3’s Cradle level was formative in the way that I have never ever seen a better horror game. Overall I didn’t like the game as much as the previous two. But the Cradle is unsurpassed.

The demo for Alone in the Dark 1 also lives rent free in my head because it was one of the few games we had back then. Plus the graphics were absolutely astonishing. But I never knew how to finish it. I always died pretty quickly to some dog monster. I never played the full game.

Jup. Thief 3 had the best horror. No jumpscares, just a sneaking game where you spent many levels training to listen for footsteps and now heard footsteps where there was nobody. One of the few games that has ever scared me.

First and second Amnesia game had some of the same type of horror too. After that they got less and less scary. Don’t know why.

comicallycluttered,

Shalebridge Cradle is one of the most terrifying fucking levels I’ve ever played.

Like, you know something bad and creepy is coming up before the level. The dialogue hints, the general unease around the building, random things here and there in the game, etc.

Yet it still hits you like a brick to the face. Nothing prepared me for it.

No surprise the lead designer for that level went on to design one of the more creepy parts of BioShock as well.

dodeca, do games w What games have the best mining/smelting/forging components?

Kenshi. Take a look at it. You control people in a very active world, but you build settlements and mine iron, stone and copper and build things, and explore to get more research to build better things and improve your people so they can build even bigger and better things. Deep lore if you like that as well, but easy to ignore.

ZephyrXero, do games w I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but …

I bought BotW right when it came out and I’m still not all that much further than you. I’ve come back to it multiple times, but just can’t get into it. I had trouble with the freezing area too. Took me an hour before I finally stumbled across a solution. I’ve gotten a bit further than you, and it just keeps getting more and more over complicated as you go.

I just don’t think the game is fun, personally. But I also don’t think Skyrim is fun. I’m not really into most open world games. I wish they would make us a new one more in the style of Ocarina and Twilight Princess, but it seems like we’re in the minority
