Spikiii, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 29th

Lies of P! I just killed the second-to-last boss, and oh boy was it tough. That game is absolutely amazing, and has surpassed pretty much every expectation I had of it.

I’ve also been playing a fair bit of Deep Rock Galactic, which is always a delight!

Heavybell, do games w Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights?
@Heavybell@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, I’m generally in favour of more options when feasible. Hell, if someone wants to skip 90% of a single player game, more power to them. Hell, any non-competitive online game too, though I doubt many publishers would consider not charging extra for it…

Fizz, do gaming w AITAH for pirating games before buying them?
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Yes you are an “asshole” for stealing but also fuck these companies are so shit you shouldn’t care.

In a pure ethical debate its wrong but on a practical level I think its fine. Steam has a 2hr no questions asked refund policy which I feel is reasonable and so I don’t pirate unless I want to play a game and not compensate the people who made it.

If you refund too often they will consider it “abuse” and stop letting you do it.

I don’t try new games that often do it suits me.

Knusper, do games w Looking for a survival sandbox game where you progress through technological ages

This is going to be an oddball suggestion, but quite a unique gaming experience, in my opinion: NodeCore

It’s basically Minecraft meets puzzling to progress through technologies.

The game is rather difficult. And it being so niche, there’s no wiki to tell you the solutions, except for actual Wikipedia, because somehow it’s relatively realistically modelled.
As such, it has this feeling of being the first human to figure these things out and I found it massively rewarding when I pushed through some of the more complex puzzles.

The whole game is completely free. Just download the Minetest engine/launcher and search for “NodeCore” in the Content-tab.

Icarus comes to mind

Dyskolos, do games w I tried over 20 Steam Next demos so that you don't have to!

Thanks man. But what about “minicivilization”? I don’t find this one on steam

Twigs218,

It looks to be actually called “Microcivilization”

store.steampowered.com/app/…/Microcivilization/

Phoonzang,

I think it’s “Tiny civilization”, which is really cute indeed. Got it on sale for less then 2 bucks, well worth it!

Edit: nah, probably not, but tiny civilization is a nice little game anyway :)

Dyskolos,

Indeed. Thanks for the hint. Looks interesting. The other commenter named the right one: “micro civilization”

I really liked Earthless, which is similar to Cobalt Core but adds grid movement.

Galactic Glitch was pretty fun, too.

ColorSpace is annoyingly challenging, in an addicting sort of way.

I also played a lot of ‘Survivors’ games. Most of them sucked, and surprisingly few worked well on Steam Deck, but Sea of Survivors was fun.

DestinyGrey,

I’ll have to check out Earthless. I’ve been in the mood for single player games recently.

BmeBenji, do gaming w When was a game's price worth it to you?

I can’t say I have any sort of standard way to gauge that. Once the money is spent, I don’t really think about it anymore and yeah that’s probably a result of my monetary privilege, but it’s my honest answer to your question. It’s almost impossible to determine about the monetary value of an experience of a piece of art.

Quite a few times.

BG3 already payed itself off in the first couple of weeks. Subnautica is another. And although I loathe to admit it, I do have about 2000 hours in Dead By Daylight.

Hell, I’ve bought and re-bought the original two Fallout games several times back in the 90’s as I wore out the CD’s over the years. And there plenty of games in between them and the newest that were absolutely worth it. Some aren’t even playable anymore.

And since I got into the Indie scene the numbers went up.

So yeah, quite a few games all in all.

I am just now starting through Fallout 4. I’ve had it in my library for a while but never got around to it.

I recently discovered Snowrunner and have been having a ton of fun playing on the switch! I’ve also rolled down the same hill multiple times 🥲 though I’m learning to tame the mud

Stick with it, the juice is worth the squeeze!!

GammaGames,

It is! Last night I discovered the fleetstar had awd in the garage 🥴 I’ve built two bridges, fixed two rockslides, and pulled the truck to the farm in the time since!

Vampire Survivor. So cheap but fun to jump in for a run or six.

Icarus, do gaming w When was a game's price worth it to you?

Valheim at msrp. So. Many. Hours. Such a fantastic game.

Pechente, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 22nd

I also started with Mario Wonder. The wonder effects are a lot of fun. I suck at 2D sidescrollers, so let’s see how Im gonna do in the later levels.

Beat Saber. it was the Christmas time 2020, so during the pandemich, and I was living alone and had a lot of free time. Got myself a PSVR set. I maybe bough a game full price just once before. And Beat Saber cost me like 40 dollars. But it was so worth it. Played all of it, and even bought some DLC. An amazing game.
