kby, do games w Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming.

Older games used to have this by default. I remember playing Quake II with fire bound to CTRL alongside with mouse look enabled.

Did the true ending (and then the extremely true ending). The game is so full of love for video games that it’s contagious for me and I really appreciated how much the game makers cared about it

sosodev,

Wait… there’s an extremely true ending?

ryno364,

This really is a good answer.

The answer to your question is the indie market. Lots of unique ideas, ton of games that are a product of passion and not profit chasing.

My personal recommendation because I don’t see it mentioned a lot is Pathologic 2. Product of decades of work and one of my favorite RPGs where every single choice you make does matter. It’s a pretty bleak and heavy game that has about a 30 hour runtime and it’s really stressful so it’s not for everyone but I personally loved it.

The combat felt really slow to me, but I continued for a while until the game soft locked by just putting the characters in a small, black room. Nothing I could find fixed that and there wasn’t enough of a draw to really look for a fix. Might try again at some point but it was only so so for me overall.

sosodev,

Oh no, that sucks. If you generally like turn based combat I would give it another go. The first few hours are fairly boring but there are some very cool battles later in the game.

Unless it’s something that you are a super uber fan, avoid buying a game before it comes out.

It saves a lot of heartaches and headaches.

Plus, in today’s world… why pre order? It’s not like a game will run out of copies…

sub_, do gaming w Star Ocean: The Second Story R - Review Thread

This game looks good, and I’ve never played the old 2D Star Ocean games (the 3D ones I’ve played, Divine Force and Lymle Double Trouble, disappointed me)

I guess I need to start with First Departure which I bought at a sale recently.

You don't really need to start with First Departure.

chatokun,

This one got me into Star Ocean (2) back on ps1, and I think it’s been my favorite/most impactful. Might just be because of it being the first one.

partiallycyber, do games w What did you think of Sea of Stars?

I had a similar reaction!

Spending a couple extra hours wrapping up quests and collecting conches (on the recommendation of a friend) wound up being well worth it for me, the true ending felt much more satisfying.

For what it’s worth, all the quests take somewhere around 20-40 minutes each, if I remember correctly. Even the collection quest wasn’t too bad, thanks to the treasure finding parrot.

sosodev,

Yeah… I’ll probably end up doing it eventually. It’s just really lame to get hyped for the final fight and be told “go do side quests for a few more hours and then come back.”

kromem, do games w What did you think of Sea of Stars?

The production of it is excellent. Art is great, combat design was very good, music is good.

But the writing leaves a lot to be desired.

Like, if you could combine the writing of Undertale with the production of this game, you’d have a game that would rival the classics themselves.

As it was I really struggled to stay engaged with Sea when the dialogue felt like it was written by a Disney intern in their first week on the job.

sosodev,

The writing definitely feels very amateurish. Which I agree is a mismatch with the otherwise high quality nature of the game.

I like the overall themes though. It was serviceable enough for me.

Ashtear, do gaming w WarioWare: Move It! Review Thread

“The Big Cheese is the Dark Souls of poses” from the Destructoid review gave me a good chuckle. Unfortunately, The Big Cheese was also the Dark Souls of poses back in Smooth Moves, and it’s not encouraging to hear this game might be just as fiddly.

This November isn’t as stacked for me as last year’s, but I think I’m still going to wait on this one a bit.

Started the Dead Space remake.

Played up to chapter 4 and not really vibing with it. I don’t usually like ditching games when I’ve already sunk time into them, but I’m not really having much fun with it, so I might switch over to Jusant or something.

Or just watch some TV I’ve been meaning to catch up on instead. Don’t know. We’ll see.

I installed Persona 5 Royale yesterday and Sun about two hours into it. I’m not finding the gameplay or the story interesting, and the amount of time spent in cutscenes is wearing me down. Does it get better? Or is this game just not for me?

Crozekiel, do gaming w Is Star Citizen's new server meshing tech plagiarized?

You can't plagiarize mechanics because you cannot copyright mechanics... And you don't want to live in a world where you can. Imagine if the first company to make a first person shooter game copyrighted it... Or if Nintendo owned the rights to all 2d side scrolling games... Gaming would have never grown to what it is today.

Hell, even board games would have been crippled by this kind of copyright.
