Mindustry It goes from a tower defense game to a logistics game for me Forget enemies, How can I haul the most amount of shit down data pipelines without letting a single container hold items for too long? My worlds are just a absolute mess of conveyor belts going everywhere, transport drones coming and going, items being produced, used, machined and consumed everywhere And the only purpose is to give me more endpoints to grow it

Elevator7009,

I gave Mindustry a shot and faded out at the tower defense bit of the tutorial. I do like !automationgames even though tower defense is not my thing, so I’m wondering: how do you manage to forget enemies and just make it a logistics game?

AceFuzzLord,

Not AkatsukiLevi, but probably just finish the enemy waves/bases as fast as possible, followed by tearing everything down and rebuilding for maximum efficiency since you can always leave and come back without ever having to worry about enemies after clearing a level*.

*assuming there isn’t a feature where enemies can respawn and retake levels that I haven’t reached far enough to find exists

@AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world avatar

Nah, custom game. Edit a existing map to have 0 waves and you’re Gucci In campaign tho, I have found there’s a few commands you can use to instantly conquer a map. It’s cheating, but it let’s me focus on what I want

Splatoon

Play dualies, focus purely on anniahlating children with complete disregard for the objective.

The price is too high. They are going to sell skins and characters. The game is going to be fluffed with open world sections instead of actual content. I probably won’t enjoy it.

My kids will though

Looks pretty different from any game we’ve seen yet. I guess they made it that way since mk8 is already compatible with the new console, so it needs to be something other than “yet another Mario Kart” to not be overshadowed by 8.

Maybe I’ll pick it up in a couple years, but there’s still more than enough games I haven’t played on the Switch 1 for the steep price of the Switch 2 to be justified for me personally.

Haven’t heard of this game and can’t find it on Steam. Got a link?

EgoNo4,

Just look it up on moddb.com

ExplosiveLynx,

Ah, it’s a mod. Gotcha, thanks

EgoNo4,

Well, yes, but not really. It’s a stand-alone mod. You download it, you un-zip it and you run it.

Me talking about my peepee.

randomname,

Stalker Anomaly is available to download for free on moddb.com, and its actually a modded version of the original games. but GSC has allowed them to redistribute the game for free.

gila, do gaming w [Enter the Gungeon 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2339840/Enter_the_Gungeon_2/)

I’ve just been replaying it again since it was included in gamepass - already have hundreds of hours racked up between PC & Switch.

Definitely my favourite roguelite. And the soundtrack is so good. Haven’t tried Exit since I heard bad things, and I never really got to the point where I’d fully completed the first. But that teaser got me super pumped.

neon_nova,

Yeah I love the first one. Also have hundreds of hours on it. I think the only things I’ve not unlocked are from the secret boss fight that is different from the others.

Exit was pretty terrible. It felt like a gimmicky cash grab.

Gaywallet, do gaming w have positive reviews destroyed games?
@Gaywallet@beehaw.org avatar

That’s just cherrypicking. Yes some people will review bomb. Others will make fake positive reviews to counteract people review bombing a game for being too “woke”.

In the end the only thing that even could matter is how people in aggregate work - and that’s easy to account for, you just readjust the distribution to be more spread out to get the “true” score of things.

This video seems more like clickbait than anything. I’m finding it hard to find anything worthwhile to engage with here even from a high level.

no, obviously not; is this a serious question? because i have no idea how you could possibly sustain it

edvardgm,

What you mean? Have you seen all those articles publisher website just giving out 8-9 on every damn game they get early access to?

If they give worse, they proboly just lose theyre early access and ye, they get less income.

Same with negative reviews, Dragon age 2 isnt the perfect game, but an alright game, but since it has no binary person in it, millions just hate reviewed it. Proboly the same happening with favorite games company publish a game they just love, so they automatically review good about it.

Alot of people looking for a good game, and no one knows anymore who you can trust, and then its just comes down to marketing, who can just randomly takes customers without making a good game.

this has been an issue people have complained about in gaming journalism for–and i cannot stress this sufficiently–longer than i’ve been alive, and i’ve been alive for 25 years. so if we’re going by this metric video gaming has been “ruined” since at least the days of GTA2, Pokemon Gold & Silver, and Silent Hill. obviously, i don’t find that a very compelling argument.

if anything, the median game has gotten better and that explains the majority of review score inflation–most “bad” gaming experiences at this point are just “i didn’t enjoy my time with this game” rather than “this game is outright technically incompetent, broken, or incapable of being played to completion”.

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

Honestly, I would totally move to GOG, however my entire games collection is on Steam, so it would be very very difficult and it’s rather tedious to have and use 2 platforms like that.

Oh well, I do hope they can get more people onto their platform. it’s a better Epic store for sure.

alehel,

I honestly felt the same. Then I thought, eh, let’s just try. Turns out I don’t care about my library being split. I just add desktop icons for the games I’m playing and launch them from there without thinking about what platform it’s on.

duchess, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #8

Last game I played from GOG was Disco Elysium which worked perfectly on the Deck. Most of the original team were pushed out of the studio during a hostile takeover, so can’t really recommend to buy right now.

How well does KCD II run on the Deck? I’ll take 60fps over visual fidelity any day, but sometimes it’s simply not possible.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t ever been too picky with FPS when playing on the Steam Deck, so I’m not the best to ask. They have optimized it far more than the first KCD. And to me? It ran beautifully.

I had zero issues with it.

Here is the link to ProtonDB’s page for KCD II. Its a good way to see what a bunch of users have experienced, and the settings they’ve recommended!

duchess,

Thanks, looks like 40fps are possible.

FeelzGoodMan420, do games w Doom: The Dark Ages - Previews Thread

What even is Doom anymore? It used to be a marine shooting demons on mars with a shotgun. Now it’s some mythological fantastical fever dream bullshit where you ride dragons and execute perfectly timed combos against alien God things. It might be fun but it’s certainly NOT Doom anymore.

Viri4thus,

There’s story videos now, dafuq…

callouscomic,

Is this serious? Every Doom game has involved going to hell and fighting Demons from hell in space and such. You know, a mythological place and mythological creatures and insane situations that are clearly fantasy.

They changed the type of place and creatures slightly. This isn’t really a stretch for the series.

FeelzGoodMan420, (edited )

Is this serious? Doom was sci-fi. Now it’s fantasy. The new game has you riding a dragon for Christ’s sake. What don’t you understand?

Abnorc,

You could argue that Doom was always more fantasy focused than sci if, but it doesn’t really matter. Doom doesn’t need to be about the same thing forever. They already had some fantasy/medieval vibes with enemies like marauders, those awesome swords, and some of the visual designs of the areas. I think they saw that it worked and decided to expand on it.

IMO, it probably always needs to be about high-octane demon killing. If it stays true to that, it can still be called Doom.

I wouldn’t mind supporting them if they could provide a Linux tool that let me download my library in bulk.

The best you’ll get is Heroic Games Launcher. It’s got most of the features I’d want at this point.
