workerONE, do games w Doom the dark ages...

I’m loving Doom Dark ages, I’m on about level 8 out of 22. I like that there’s enough room in levels to move around. Movement is awesome, you can just run everywhere. The weapons are extremely effective and your toolkit is reduced so you have shield-block shield-slam shield-throw melee and then guns. It’s pretty easy to remember everything you have and then select an appropriate attack for the situation.
I really love it. Hopefully there aren’t any more Mech-pilot missions because that one sucked. The dragon wasn’t my favorite either but you can make it through without much difficulty and it didn’t take forever.

I don't know what it is but it feels like i went from crashing like maybe once a week, to multiple times a day as time has gone on.

Make sure to disable all autosaves, disable quicksaves, and never save over an existing save. Something about Bethesda's save system has never quite worked properly when overwriting existing saves (which is how autosave and quicksave function), you have to force it to create new saves and manually delete the old ones yourself later.

After the remaster came out, I started replaying the original with a small modlist, and saw similar degradation in stability until I remembered to do that. Currently it'll crash if I've had the game open more than a couple of hours, so I just manually save often and restart the game any time I feel like it's been open for a while. It doesn't seem to be getting worse anymore so I think I'm in the clear.

Definitely taking this advice lol. The crashing has been killing my fun and I’m desperate to stop it. Especially since I’m so close to the end

Tbh it’s more like quake 1 than Doom

Which isn’t a bad thing, but I think everyone would have been perfectly happy with just Doom: Eternal 2

redhorsejacket,

Idk about that, I heard a fair number of folks who were less enthused with Eternal vs 2016. The general sentiment among those folks was that Eternal skewed too far into “combat puzzle” territory, where encounters felt like they had prescribed “solutions” that you needed to perform to succeed reliably. This iteration being less about resource management and high speed encounter flow seems to be a reaction to those critiques.

Nailed it, that was exactly my problem with Eternal.

Doom 2016 wasn’t exactly generous with ammo limits in the early game, but Eternal was a chore. Here’s 20 enemies, 6 of them are cacodemons that will only die if you lob a shotgun grenade at their mouth. You have 12 shotgun and 50 plasma bullets, the latter enough to kill 1 caco.

gcheliotis, do games w 1st time Demon's Souls Player

First souls game I played was demons souls and nothing came close to that since. You never forget your first etc. Maybe bloodborne. I know most people loved the dark souls series but to me it always felt like a rehash of much of the same that was truly novel and captivating in demons souls. Of course happy that many more people got to experience souls games with the move away from the Sony IP. Yet still for me the best souls games are those that were made exclusively for PlayStation, for better or worse.

Blaiz0r,

Completely agree, the atmosphere was something special in Demon’s Souls, the music and mood of the hub area was spot on, nothing has matched that

CCAirWater,

I’ll concede the hub in Demon’s Souls is much better than Elden Ring. No matter what, I turned down the wrong corridor. Either looking for the blacksmith, or the twins, or the two fingers, didn’t matter. Every damn time, I’d go down the wrong way.

Plus, it felt… Empty? Demon’s Souls hub is much larger but still has an aesthetic that feels like everyone is scared, tired, or restless. I like that you can “save” people like Dead Rising and see them back at camp. It feels more immersive. Elden Ring has that too, but not as many NPCs end up there from what I remember. It’s more that they’d always leave the hub, like the lady who hugs. Plus, after the burning of the tree, it’s completely abandoned except the black might guy. Always feel bad that I couldn’t get him out. It’s like the people in the hub all just served as exposition on the lore of the world, not “real” people. I didn’t go back there nearly as much as in Demon’s Souls

CCAirWater,

Bloodborne was my first. It was always… Okay. I still don’t know what the hell was happening. Apparently there’s a night mode you can unlock??? I consider Elden Ring my first true one. I played the hell out of the base game. I’ve only got to complete the final boss twice to unlock all the trophies lol. But I definitely need to pick up the dlc one day soon.

prole,

Gameplay-wise, I think I prefer Bloodborne to DS titles for whatever reason. Setting as well. It’s the only other one besides Sekiro that I’ve beaten so far…

prole,

It wasn’t the first one I tried, but the first one that “clicked” for me was Sekiro, and it’s still in my top 3 favorite games of all time.

After that, the other titles started making sense. But nothing compares to Sekiro.

I didn't want to deal with Glarthir this time so I just flat out refused and he took the matter into his own hands. This includes a big battle axe, to give you an idea.

Managed to steal a lot of money from him without having to actually do anything for him lol

Kellamity,

I’m the same, I couldn’t be bothered this time so I told him I wouldn’t help. Didnt know he was gonna do that, I feel guilty now. But I like to role play so hey it’s just more lore for my character

Bethesda is known for crashes that happen later in the game, due to memory leaking in now progresses save games. If I remember correctly, they had multiple issues with original Oblivion and even Skyrim where the save game would cause loading so much stuff into memory that there was little room left. Crappy memory cleaning then did the rest.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I know Fallout New Vegas and I believe 3 had the same issue. I’d have to assume it’s Gamebryo issue, or just something about the way Bethesda does the save system. I didn’t know Skyrim had this issue. I guess it’s a very faithful remaster, even in the parts I wish got left behind

Monster96, do gaming w Any good mobile games?

Dolphin if you’re into GameCube games. I’ve played through all of Paper Mario and smugglers run on my phone. Now I’m spending a majority of my time in the original Animal Crossing.

commander, do games w Microsoft's Xbox Handheld: Switch-Like Dock and Multi-Platform Support

I never get the mind blowness some people get about a hypothetical future Xbox branded handheld that could runs all these stores that can play PlayStation games. It’s a PC. You can play PlayStation games on Windows devices for years now. It’s not a gotcha big brain strategic masterpiece on Microsofts part. Pay Valve to play PlayStation games. Current Xbox gamers in the future pay Valve to play 3rd party games rather than Microsoft

BmeBenji, do gaming w [Official Art] Bioshock Xbox 360 Box Art

For the longest time, I saw this art in Gamestop and assumed it was a game about mining and was confused as shit why it was rated M

Grimm,

Rated M for mining.

pedz, do gaming w MMORPGs are hilarious for this

Ah, yes. Having lots of money and an expensive sports car = completing/winning the game. Sure.

GregorGizeh,

I take my memes dead serious as well

GrammarPolice,

You’re fun at parties

Poor fella was always trying to help the poor tarnished. They never would have gotten to the throne if he hadn’t so kindly pointed them towards the giant castle looming overhead.

I’m fairly convinced Varre is the one who killed our absent maiden.

GoodLuckToFriends,

Slander! No one who talked so gently and called me lambkin would ever do such a thing! Especially not by conspiring with a fair bodyless maiden, as some so imply.

I walked out of that door, saw that smug face, and then he called me maidenless? Yeah, he was first against the wall.
