Games I’m currently playing:

  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

I think I like it, but I don’t love it yet. It’s undeniably well made. The story is told well, the acting, music, and graphics are all top notch. Really well done.

But the story isn’t really hooking me yet. Something about that kind of fantasy story irks me. Like, the premise seems so outlandish and arbitrary that I can’t tell if it’s actually good or if it’s just manipulative. I’ve seen so much praise for the intro, but to me it’s like: “Every year on this day, something emotional and devastating happens!” Then it happens, apropos of nothing, and everyone is like, “Oh my god this intro is so emotional and devastating.”

Just doesn’t feel organic to me.

It’s also not my type of game. I’m slightly less than neutral towards turn-based RPGs, and I’m firmly against parrying. Still, the execution is good enough that I’m going to stick it out a while longer.

  • Oblivion Character Creation Screen

I just can’t seem to get past this no matter how hard I try.

  • Minecraft

Getting back into my 6 year old realm. Building a big stables near a cherry grove.

  • Split Fiction

I’ve been playing this with my wife, and it’s fantastic. Never boring, always clever and inventive. Just went through a whole pinball sequence that is just a master class in game design.

  • Ravenswatch

One of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played. Also one of the best roguelikes. The gameplay is ridiculously tight, and the new characters are awesome. I wouldn’t personally describe it as a coop Hades, but I wouldn’t outright disagree with someone who did.

Shit, I just realized I’ve been playing a lot of games lately.

Don’t know how far into Clair Obscur you are, but I recommend sticking with it. I can’t really say anything else without spoilers but I found the story very good.

Chapter Master: Adeptus Dominus

Essentially a free, fan-made 40k game originally made like 20 years ago by one guy who has since moved on. Now it’s a small team who drop semi-regular updates on github. Also, it runs on Linux

Vermintide 2 (modified L4D2 in Warhammer: Fantasy), since one kind soul on Lemmy said it now works on Linux too. I’ve missed a lot of new content and I don’t even know where to go most of the times like I just started it. I became kinda rusty since I switched systems, but playing on lower difficulties feels fun too. An hour of runs per evening is where I am at. As I don’t have anything tp grind there anymore as I did it all before, I’ve learnt to smile while loosing in some hilarious ways, and some of these failures make me cackling for a long while.

I’ve also been playing Nightreign and having an absolute blast. I did manage to beat Gladius with a couple of randos early on, but nothing since then. I’ve been trying to help my friend clear that first hurdle, but no luck so far.

Krudler, do games w Epic Games Unreal Fest News

The last feature Epic added that was meaningful was the ability to look at my own game library.

They still have a storefront without reviews… They have ratings “captured from the ecosystem”.

They remain a joke.

I think Lamb is the MC, who is going to defeat the Evil with the power of her friendship!

BmeBenji, do gaming w Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons

If you’re still buying Call of Duty games, you’re asking for this.

There’s nothing to gain from buying the latest Call of Duty EXCEPT for the latest in in-game advertising tech

FenrirIII, do gaming w "I call my hammer 'The Deporter'"

Never side with the nords. Unless you’re using the mod that makes Ulfric a hot woman and you wanna simp

Metal Crusher still gets stuck in my head from time to time.

honest question. What’s stopping mainstream gamers from just playing the best codblops for the rest of their lives? Is there really any draw to these newer releases every time?

slaneesh_is_right,

The cod cycle is pretty much the same as fifa games. They make a new game, the hype is big, everyone plays it because the cool streamers play it. Then the hype dies down, people realise it’s the same game, they don’t want to work on the game and they get by with selling micro transactions until the game dies completely just in time for the new game to come out and the cycle repeats. It’s quite fascinating to be honest that it works every time.

Simple, stop buying Call of Duty games. And for fucks sake, stop purchasing microtransactions.

I’ve boycotted Activision ever since I read how their treatment of a female employee led to her suicide.

Cypher, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #18

Not a fan of all these posts having the same image, a screenshot of whatever the biggest news piece is would probably be an improvement

GreyEyedGhost,

Space is almost free, and it’s a good cue to what you’re going to find. It’s how I tell my PerfectDark posts apart.

Pokémon Crystal (Polished Crystal ROM hack). It’s amazing. It’s a Vanilla+ experience of Crystal. The most notable thing to me is It’s now 60fps. Then all the QoL improvements but all the changes are within Pokémon lore. It feels like a GBA game now and takes my top spot as favorite Pokémon game

Gryficowa, do publicystyka w Jan Śpiewak: To nie Nawrocki wygrał. To liberalny establishment przegrał.
@Gryficowa@szmer.info avatar

Dlatego libki nie są przyjaciółmi lewaków, bo wolą żyć w ignorancji i swojej bańce, gdzie wszystko co myślą jest “Prawdą”, a ci co to negują są źli (Bo niszczą status quo)

Liberalizm trzyma tylko status quo, a “Mniejsze zło” to bujda w celu jego utrzymania, po tym co widziałam w USA i jak libki potraktowały grupy, którym próbowały wmówić, że “Ich chcą chronić” to ich wspieranie dyskryminowanych to fasada w celu poczucia wyższości (Ciekawe kogo polskie libki będą obwiniać za wygraną Nawrockiego, ale domyślam się, że osoby LGBT+ i zoomerów…)

Zandberg, Razem itd.

Tuskoboty mają niezłe spięcie na procesorze jak na oburzenie że przez Zandberga Trzaskowski przegrał pokażesz im że wyborcy Zandberga z 1. tury byli największą grupą popierająca Trzaskowskiego w 2. turze w liczbach bezwzględnych

Kongar, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of June 1st

Satisfactory-I’m hooked hard.

im_a_GDeveloper,

I get the feel. I’m also hooked hard to Factorio.

Kongar,

That was a damn good game too. I had the urge to play factorio again, but decided to try something new. Thus satisfactory. So far not disappointed.

Vodulas,

1.1 is out on the 10th, so should be even better!
