Nine sols. A metroidvania with parry-based combat and insanely good plot.

Thoroughly enjoyed a supercut of Jerma’s elden ring playthrough

That was some top tier second screen content

I’ve always tried to avoid fast travel as much as possible simply because exploring and random encounters are the best way to l ensure you’re levelling up as necessary.

If you just fast travel between story beats, you can find yourself underpowered and having to “level farm” to get back on track.

Besides… Exploring is often more fun than the actual game.

As someone who didn’t like Max Payne as much as other others, I’m loving this new era of Remedy.

That being said, I’m waiting for them to integrate it into the AlanWakeControlQuantiumBreakiverse (or whatever we’re calling it) somehow through the remakes.

QueenMidna,

They can’t touch Quantum break. Microsoft owns the rights I believe

That's true, but they still make a LOT of indirect references to it.

I’m sure it will be a great game, but I still wish we could play Jessie with similar mechanics to the 1st, I just loved the gameplay. But I trust Remedy, they have always delivered, so looking forward to this one

daannii,

I saw floating in the trailer. I sure liked feeling like a witch from The Craft. But more than that I liked throwing things. Sure hope that’s back.

Yes, he's the player character this round instead of Jesse.

I never used the fast travel systems in Cyberpunk 2077, back before we could actually ride the tram. Used to walk everywhere and take in the sights.

Now I love to take the tram every now and then and relax watching Night City go by…

NikkiDimes,

Two things:

One - At launch the fast travel kinda sucked. It was easier, imo, to just mindlessly drive to your destination.

Two - YOU CAN RIDE THE TRAMS NOW?

LucidNightmare,

I’ve put 300 hours into this game, and not once did I know this was a thing. I beat it about the time the DLC came out. Is this a newer update, or did I just miss it on my last playthrough?

87Six,

I think it came pretty late, yea, way after the DLC.

I think there’s even another update coming out for it, but I’m not sure.

The devs love the game afaik. And so many people play it that updates are worth it for them to male more sales.

leftzero,

It came with Phantom Liberty, if I recall correctly, or soon after, so you missed it.

NikkiDimes,

Of all the things to get me back into the game…

Heh, I remember travelling to Proxima Centauri from Alpha Centauri in Elite Dangerous… around 80 light days, one of the longest in-system distances in the game (for inhabited systems), using in-system engines because that’s too close to jump through hyperspace… last time I looked the record was at around 26 minutes, most ships probably did it in around 30 to 45.

Good trip to just set the cruise speed, grab a book, and relax…

Hi-Fi Rush was released before that time, but it was Denuvo-encumbered until about a week ago.

Weebdeluxe,

Thanks, as I implied I’m pretty aware of that. Have you played it?

More control? Sweet. Preferred it to AW2. Very stylish.

Agrivar, do games w Changing the language of “Hogwarts Legacy”

Not sure what’s more gross, using Epic’s garbage launcher or playing a game associated with J. K. Rowling…

SnotFlickerman, do games w Changing the language of “Hogwarts Legacy”

Hogwarts Legacy: Not Even Once

dzsimbo,

Even for free? Epic is giving it away. Just make sure to get the Heroic launcher.

SnotFlickerman,

A few things here:

  1. I personally think that interacting with anything related to Harry Potter continues to give it cultural dominance and longevity, so even if you aren’t personally spending money to support the giant piece of shit that is JK Rowling, you’re helping it stay relevant enough to keep making that bigot of a bitch money.
  2. It can also be argued that since Epic made a deal for giving the game away, that the money has already been paid to Rowling, whether you grab the game for free or not. The fewer people who grab the free copy, the less wise of an investment it will be seen as by Epic’s beancounters. This also ties back into the first point of the more people taking the free copy is giving Harry Potter more cultural dominance and longevity.
  3. I pirated this game when it came out specifically I could play it and write about how bad it was in terms of gameplay, story, and game design. I don’t feel like re-writing a full on review here, but I’ll just say it: It’s a bad fucking game and the only reason people have given it as much attention as it has gotten is the association with Harry Potter. If this had been an original property with no connection to the HP series with similar gameplay and story it would have been a clusterfuck of a failure on release.

Anyway I’ll shut up now but fuck Harry Potter, the only thing Harry Potter related I’ll accept anymore is Wizard People, Dear Reader, because it’s a parody.

Quetzalcutlass,

Re: 3, unfortunately, pirating the game won’t let you avoid supporting transphobic lunatics. The person who cracked the game is even worse than Rowling - as in, “makes Rowling look like a paragon of progressiveness in comparison” worse - and uses the download numbers for her cracks (and the fact she’s usually the only one willing to crack Denuvo) to justify asking for donations.

SnotFlickerman,

That’s a fair take. I deleted it promptly after playing, but anyone who is willing to fund empress’s insanity is a fool anyway. Yet, sadly, a whole lot of fools out there.

Does the game still have denuvo nowadays?

mohab,

The game has been repacked by many people though. I don’t even know where to go to get it straight from the original person who cracked it.

mohab,

How’s the action? It looked like you can launch people in the trailer and perform some kind of air combo. I doubt it leads to anything truly fun, but I’m curious.

dogslayeggs,

You can, and I find it fun. Some other reviewers don’t like it, and it can be clunky, but it is still fun for me to levitate someone and then slam them into a wall.

@teolan@lemmy.world avatar

It’s free on epic? Shit’s free in a toilet

mohab,

I’d rather sail the high seas than interact with Epic, TBH.

How can a game be written so poorly this is the solution

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I’m willing to bet the fault lies with Epic and their shitty store app

ILikeBoobies,

Getting language from the store is still the game’s fault.
