Guardians of the Galaxy on my Steam deck. I would imagine the fps and graphics would be better on a more capable device but its been fun. Great dialogue, music, and settings.

If you want to be confused, aggravated, and generally upset at how your life is turning out destiny 2 is a really good game.

Buttflapper,

LMAO this comment sent me. This is exactly what it feels like 😧😔

I’ve been playing Batman Arkham origins. Never played it when it came out but loved the other ones. It’s pretty good so far!

I really enjoyed Origins. It embraced the “detective” aspect a lot better, IMO. Also enjoyed the, well, origins of what essentially became Batman and Joker’s inevitable “love story”. Troy Baker played him really well.

Also, it’s pretty funny hearing Sonic voice Batman. I mean, I know he does a ton of other voices, but the contrast is always hilarious to me.

Anyway, onto me…

After taking a weeklong break from video games, I started playing something on my wishlist that finally went on sale again: Unheard - Voices of Crime. Detective game where you solve the cases by listening to conversations and identifying people by their voices/dialogue. The visuals are basically just floor plans and moving from room to room from a top down perspective in order to hear whoever’s speaking in that room.

All the recordings are binaural as well, so wherever you move your “character”, the volume and location of the voices change. It’s pretty interesting and not too long.

Today, I began Dungeons of Hinterberg. At first, super fun. Then got a bit bored because stuff felt samey. Then got interested again. I expect this pattern is going to continue. Despite being a dungeon crawler, it’s a pretty chill game.

Basically, think Breath of the Wild-type shrines mixed with Persona-style social sim gameplay. You do dungeons (or not, you don’t have to if you don’t want to) in the day, explore and spend time with people in the city at night.

chloyster,

Ah see for me all I can hear is Chris Redfield when Batman talks haha. He does an ok job but he’s no Kevin Conroy unfortunately. Totally agree on the detective stuff! I love the random case files that come up that aren’t some crazy supervillain plot. Just random crimes done by random people. Good fun

It’s not out yet but Marvel Rivals looks like it may be a good fit. Hopefully they’ll announce the release date soon now that the closed beta is over.

mox, do games w Is 4gb vram enough to run read dead redemtion 2?

Yes, 4GB VRAM is enough to run it at 1080p.

Please just check the system requirements next time, unless you’re facing special circumstances or have reason to believe the official specs are inaccurate. You can find them on the publisher’s web site or the Steam Store page.

Miphera, do games w What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?

If you mean 100% achievements on Steam for example, I really enjoyed doing that with the following games:

  • Slipstream (2018): arcade racing game, 7.5h to 100%
  • SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated (2020): platformer with some collectathon elements, 13h to 100%
  • Polyball (2017): think Super Monkey Ball, but a bit faster and stronger momentum iirc, gets quite difficult later on, and although the amount of content isn’t ridiculous, it’s very very hard to manage the requirements for 100%. My playtime is 59h, but I kept playing after 100% to get into the top 10 leaderboards on a bunch of levels, so I think it was more like 30-40h for 100%.
  • The Stanley Parable (2013): narrative game with some unconventional puzzle elements, 40h to 100%, but not really: one of the achievements is “play the game for the entirety of a Tuesday”, so that adds over 24h. Another achievement is to not play the game at all for 5 years. Some people love this silly stuff, some hate it, up to you :)
  • Firewatch (2016): narrative game with exploration and some puzzles, 6h to 100%.

Why? The padding is there for those with the stomach for it, but you can just… play a new game once you’ve stopped having fun?

Solitaire.

AngryCommieKender,

I don’t think that’s possible. I’m fairly certain that unlike free cell, solitaire has unwinnable hands.

Helltaker - I got hooked on the awesome music and fantastic silliness. (It’s free btw)

South Park: The Stick of Truth. You can 100% it in one run and it takes around 20 hours. Super fun game too :)

Only games I ever 100%ed were…Assassins Creed 1 and Rocket League, strictly by achievements only. Like I never made it past Champ in RL, and AC1 was really just beat game and collect flags. I never have the urge to 100% a game cause usually it’s just a grind for grinds sake and that isn’t fun to me

UnfairUtan,

Champ is already pretty high, well done!

CMLVI,
@CMLVI@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks! I spent years in Diamond, and had a mini goal to get to Champ. Never really been one to practice mechanics, it was just sheer rotation and positioning. Like I can’t hit off the wall with any kind of consistency. Hit it in like…2019 and haven’t played much since, I actually played last night prior to this comment for the first time in probably a year.

UnfairUtan,

Oh yea I see

Hope you enjoyed playing again! It isn’t getting much content anymore, but the game is still so good :)
