Still deep in Baldur's Gate 3. I did relatively little content in Acts 1 and 2, and they still took me about 20 and 30 hours respectively. I wasn't sure if the game would run out of steam for me if I tried to do every quest that sounded interesting. Now that I'm in Act 3, I know I can end the game whenever I want, but I don't want to yet. I've spent 40 hours in Act 3 already and haven't even gone to the two major quests that I need to do yet to start wrapping things up. After I finish the quest line I'm on (hints for those who know, that will hopefully dodge spoilers: I'm about to go underwater to rescue some folks, and then I have to sabotage a thing after that), I may start wrapping things up, but we'll see.

The original Yoshi’s Island is so much fun! How far along are you now?

I’ve been replaying Stardew Valley lately. My first run was in 2018 when it was still version 1.3, so there’s loads of new content to play through.

chloyster,

Yeah it’s great! I’ve started it a few times but recently got an analogue pocket and am trying to finish a lot of those older games I’ve never finished. I think I’m about half way through world 4 now. Still deciding if I want to try and 100% every level to get the bonus levels haha

Does Rock Paper Shotgun count?

the_gmg,

No, they are owned by Relx (fka Reed Elsevier), known for PAX and the scam which is the academic publishing industry.

Oh damn, I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know…

I have played a bunch on the train into work for the last 10 years… I am at level 10035… I also have a excel table of level date and number of gold bars I have at that point when I hit big checkpoints

A bard/artist game that really makes use of the creative potential of music/painting. A great example of a “tech demo” of what I’d like is the magic system in Tchia. You got a ukulele that you can play super freely (possibly the most realistic thing if you don’t play it irl), but depending on what notes you play, you unleash different spells (kinda like in the old Zelda games with the ocarina).

I would absolutely love if the creative spell freedom of Magicka (or Fictorum) was combined with the freeform instrument play of Tchia.

A remaster of the original two Thief games of the quality they did with Dead Space.

Someone should take this project on as their first foray into game dev. Bonus points if it’s a middle-aged woman.

Popełniłam taki wpis, gdyż upomniano mnie, że rozwiązuje MMPI-2 poza oddziałem (na ławce przed budynkiem) a jednocześnie sami psychologowie nie mają sobie nic do zarzucenia, gdy sami np. nie dali mi instrukcji.

I wish there were more Sims like games. I feel that under EA, the games aren’t living up to their full potential, and they could be so much more.

I think most of what I’d like has already been made. But they are old, few and far between.

I’d really like a modern Freespace game.

I enjoyed how it made your keyboard into a functional cockpit and how you could customize your own and your squads fighters and loadout. And sending tactical info in the thick of battle.

All that junk. It was great. But the old games are showing their age.

adriator, (edited ) do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

I really want to play single-player versions, or at least on my own private server, games like Travian or Ikariam. Basically resource management strategies but without the insane need to be 24/7 online in anticipation of an enemy attack.

Edit: Also a single player tab targetting open world rpg.

@Ultimatenab

A single server MMO like eve online, but with real stakes.

In eve, when you die, you keep your character, most of your assets are safe, either by meta gaming or game mechanics.

You can't really harm/steal from characters.

Which reduces the need to work together and defend your character and your assets. Risk aversion and occasional replacement is a valid strategy.

There is more stuff wrong with eve... but the biggest problem is the stakes.

lloram239,

Very tricky to accomplish as long as people can interact with each other in the real world and bypass whatever rules and restrictions you have in the game rules, be it in terms of just communicating in situations where they shouldn’t be able to or running multiple accounts and characters at the same time to boost their power and influence.

You’d need to get extremely draconian with the anti-cheat, require real world ID for account creation, not allow new player once the game started and all that.

laxu,

Plus there would always be griefers who just want to ruin other people’s game because the repercussions are at most a bit of money (if they get banned and have to buy a new copy of the game), rather than incarceration, bodily harm, or death in the real world.

Crotaro,

May I introduce you to Ultima Online?

You have some items that are not lost upon death (either by them being special and “blessed” or by you paying some in game gold to insure them (costing you every time you die), but everything else? On your corpse, ready to be taken by the nearest player and even humanoid enemy. More than once have I seen a lich just grab some of my stuff and cackle off back into the dungeon.

Aside from being able to lose stuff on death, there are actual Thievery skills ranging from sneaking to pickpocketing and lockpicking (for stealing from player homes or when you unearth treasure chests). There is a “safe overworld” but many popular private servers have removed that. You might go about your daily business to grab some stuff from the bank teller and next thing you know, a grandmaster thief took your precious sword from your backpack (there are a lot of skill checks involved depending on how many possible witnesses there are (player and NPC), if the thief is invisible, how heavy the item is and such).

Are there any international Discord server for gaming news?

RxBrad,
@RxBrad@lemmings.world avatar

No.

This is not what Discord is for.

People need to stop trying to use Discord as a forum, or a wiki, or a website, or a file repo, or as the Support page for a product.

Discord is group chat. You say something. It’s relavent for five minutes. Then it might as well have never happened.

@totallymojo@ttrpg.network avatar

Huh? There is even a forum function that can act as a news feed.
It is what you make it.
