I just love these posts so much man, they’re so random but so authentic. AND YES GOD DAMMIT IT IS JESSE FADEN I will not be lied to god dammit I recognize my favorite Remedy girl. And yes Crow Country is dope, if you like retro survival horror I cannot not recommend Signalis!
I have two favorite warlocks from destiny 2. My wife’s obviously. But the number one spot goes to a nameless warlock. Only because I forgot to record the whole thing.
We were thrown into a 3v3 except our third never loaded in. Me a titan, and my warlock had a mission to survive. I needed this win because of a exotic upgrade I wanted. But it looked bleak. The enemy team was good. But magic happened. The warlock and I shared a moment of clarity. We weren’t outnumber and out gunned. We had more targets and more ammo. We moved as a perfect unit, watching each other’s backs,boost jumps and popping heads, perfect supers. Finally about halfway through, the game still neck and neck, when one of the other enemy quit. Wether out of pity for us, or to give his team a better chance I don’t know. The warlock was an absolute tiger. I may have gotten the last kill, but that warlock straight up got MVP. The best part? I got my exotic upgrade. I haven’t really played since. The warlock set a bar so high that I fully expect all my teammates to be as good as them. Some are, a lot aren’t. Wherever that warlock is, they are kicking ass and chewing gum. And they are all out of gum.
Called it quits on Blue Prince last week. 20-30h in and I hit the main goal of the game of reaching the 46th room. I started scratching at some of the deeper puzzles and mysteries to solve but I think the combination of some frustrating mechanics (drafting the right rooms, running out of resources, etc…) along with time being a premium, I had to stop myself. I just realized my excitement for “one more run” just wasn’t there and rather than sour my opinion on it, it was better to move on and appreciate the depth that’s there for people getting into it. Super impressed by everything that I’ve seen in it and definitely recommended if you’re a fan of puzzles and taking notes to piece a lot of things together.
And on what feels like the other end of the spectrum, I started Skin Deep and am having a blast. It’s such a weird, stylistic immersive sim where you’re rescuing these low-polygon cats from pirates taking over their spaceship. The humor is good and the systems interact really well. Everything telegraphs what it can do, how it can be used, and the game seems to reward experimentation. I’m trying to be stealthy but there’s no penalty to breaking stealth, and some rewarding per-mission objectives that encourage you to check everything out.
You also get to flush heads down toilets which is pretty cool (and definitely something missing from Blue Prince)
I get that on Blue Prince. Even with the RNG control you’re afforded late game you’re still heavily affected by the luck of the draw. I still think it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.
If you’re looking to see the rest of the game through someone else’s eyes to get a glimpse of the remaining puzzles I thoroughly recommend Luckless Lovelocks playthrough on YouTube. It’s still ongoing but I’ve really enjoyed his note taking and puzzle solving.
Definitely good to know. I don’t think I’d call it one of the best I’ve ever played but it was certainly awesome as pieces started clicking into place and I could see the outline of how it would go. I’m curious to see what else is really in there (I’ve spoiled some bits and pieces to it) and may go down that path. Thank you!
All the detail, the world building and the little pieces of narrative, the puzzles within puzzles and the constant feeling of the game just opening up under you and always throwing things at you making you go “wait, how big is this game?” was just so cool.
I might be high on recency bias in my praise but I was thoroughly enamoured with it.
I think I’ve sunk 200 hours into tetris this year alone, I have it on like 4 systems including my SP handheld clone
Edit: my phrasing here was unclear, there effect connected has not been ported to portmaster or the ports collection, I use Tetris RR, a custom patched og GB tetris to have all the same amenities (hold, hard drop) as modern tetris.
If you like tetris and want tetris RR, find a GB tetris ROM and patch it yourself
A link to the Romhack (for the mods, this is a link to the patch, not the rom, i know VL has pirate content but this aint it, it does however have a link to their archive, where the rom does exist) vimm.net/romhacking/hacks/5813
The obvious answers are the games we endlessly replayed historically: Mario Kart, Goldeneye (VS mode), Halo (VS), Smash Bros.
If you specifically want ones on PC, I’d suggest Starcraft, Age of Empires, and probably Counter Strike (I wasn’t into that one, but it had a huge following).
Many board games fit the bill as well. Codenames (physical or online at horsepaste.com) comes to mind, and another commenter also mentioned chess.
Basically any games that were made before endlessly grinding became a thing (yep, that’s only been a thing for a decade or two).
Does Factorio count? It’s a good game, you can play multiplayer, the factory can always grow (at least until your hardware, or in the extreme the software, can no longer handle it) and if you’re grinding for something rather than automating it, you’re doing it wrong.
I guess it counts because you are not grinding, the factories are grinding for you. The problem is that it’s a niche game and not many of my friends would play it
It’s the defacto automation game, and can get pretty wildly funny with multiplayer co-op. Players slot into niches and ted to focus on building out X or Y and when these things meet can be hilarious.
It also has a versus mode where you race to build bases on a shared map and kill your opponents first.
Zależy od kręgu, jeśli chodzi o ludzi skupionych wokół wolnego internetu w Polsce to masz głównie osób z środowisk lewicowych, czyli tutaj to jest taka większość, ale patrząc na Polskę ogółem jest to mniejszość. Ja sam jestem mega krytycznym gościem, nie boję się mówić nawet prawdy na temat własnych przekonań i często mi się za to obrywa. Jednak na Fediverse jest mało hejtu w porównaniu do FB czy innych korpomediów.
I’m playing through Morrowind for the first time right now (past a few hours in at least), and I’ve been blown away at just how much more interesting of a plot and setting it has compared to everything Bethesda ever made after it. The miss chance, spell fail chance, and non-regenerating magicka were always enough to scare me away before, but I finally understood what a huge impact fatigue has on everything, and how much more terrible you are at low-level skills compared to their later games.
I also like the progression of my character walking around slow as shit at level 1 taking forever to get anywhere vs running around at 30mph jumping from canton to canton in Vivec like it’s nothing now.
Looking at the game’s minimum requirements, I’m not sure I how well my available hardware will work. Granted, it’ll probably be some time before I play the game unless there’s a free demo available. I’m more of a patient gamer type and I still haven’t played through Eternal yet (and may not).
Honestly, from the descriptions and reviews I’ve seen, Dark Ages game play style sounds like it’s a sharp turn away from Eternal, which means it might be more my thing. Granted, I’m also seeing a lot of folks saying it’s super heavy into story telling and cut scenes. Not that I have a big problem with those things, but I enjoy that they’re kind of light in earlier entries of this series.
