for REAL. all my homies hate steam big picture

edit: I mean on PC when you’re not using a controller, it definitely has a use.
though tbh I don’t think the UI design is that great tbh. The switches homepage is better imo

This is a funky opinion, but I’m holding off on it because of how they handled Conan Exiles.

Zahille7,

what do you mean? I have Exiles but I haven’t played in a couple years, since before Siptah came out (but I did buy that expansion).

Justdaveisfine,

They kept rebalancing to chase the hardcore PvPers wants who ended up leaving anyways, started getting pushy with their microtransactions/battle pass (that were added in an update), and they added their Funcom launcher in an update.

Above all of that is there are still some ugly persistent bugs that have been huge problems for years now, many involving thralls which are pretty much required for late game content.

I won’t say Funcom did the worst job or anything that far, but they definitely put me in a ‘wait and see’ state for at least the first few major patches, as that will show what direction they want to take the game and who they’re focusing on for feedback.

I hadn’t seen this game but the photos and description means I’ll be checking it out now.

Nice work on reaching day 337, almost a year now!

If you can get it on Gamepass or PS+ (or something else) i’d advice getting it that way. The game has a 40$ price tag, and while i’m enjoying it, some other people are not due to a lack of content (the game has about 5 game modes and has two more on the way this year). I’d say whether it’s worth the price is entirely dependent on how much fun you get out of the main gameplay cycle (though i guess that can be said for most games lol). Me and the two others i play with are hooked on the general gameplay cycle (the escape at the end is one of our favorite parts) but some other people not so much.

How grindy is the game?

I have multiple friends that told me that Conan exile was quite grindy and that they are not convinced by Dune because of that.

It’s too bad because I think they would appreciate the game but are too concerned by the fact that it would take a lot of time to get good stuff.

I am about 4-ish resource tiers in out of 7-ish or so, and I don’t feel like it is especially grindy by the standards of survival crafting games. There is obviously some grinding for resources, but there is also a good amount of exploring and doing quests, during which you can pick up a lot of the things you need. Getting through the iron tier was a little bit long because you don’t have access to a large vehicle inventory yet at that point, but I also took that time to reveal a bunch of the map, clear out bandit camps, etc. so it didn’t become too monotonous. There are a good variety of secondary resources that will keep you visiting different kinds of locations (wrecked ships, old mining operations, etc.) so that even if you just want to farm resources, you won’t just be spending all your time running between ore nodes.

If your friends would be playing together, they could also do things more efficiently by sharing bases so that they don’t each have to build their own infrastructure, and eventually you get access to a mining buggy that is faster to operate with two players (a solo player has to switch between the driver and mining laser seats).

BlameTheAntifa,

The end-game gets extremely grindy very suddenly, like running into a wall. Until you reach that point, it doesn’t feel grindy in the slightest.

It should have been a SP game, not this weird pseudo MMO thing.

Skipcast,

Id personally enjoy it far less if that was the case. I just enjoy sharing a huge world with other players I guess

breecher,

Subjective personal opinion of course, but I stay far away from multiplayer games, they are just too toxic and stressful. And I am saying that as someone who basically only played online fps for years.

Skipcast,

Fair enough. This game is mostly pve for the first 50 hours or so depending on which direction you decide to progress in which hasn’t been toxic at all in my experience so far.

Most people ignore you. I met one guy though very early in the game who helped me get around faster before I got my first vehicle and also taught me some other things.

MudMan, do games w Dune game

I think maybe I'm spoiled by the movies, but... I kind of hate it? I hate all the ways they had to cherry pick Dune stuff to turn it into a survival crafting MMO like Conan, especially in the parts where the lore fits worse than Conan. And the story is extremely videogamey. I think the new films are already a bit overly literal when it comes to choosing between the politics and the psychedelia, but man, does Dune Awakening do videogame-ass videogame dream sequences.

The disconnected, patchy reality of the original Cryo Dune got to the right feel accidentally, but there's something to seeing the setting reduced to a skin over Conan Exiles that seriously rubs me the wrong way.

@ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The videogamey parts are really funny to me. I laughed my ass off when I saw Thufir Hawat standing around in the heat outside the Leto residence in Arrakeen because I guess players have to talk to him at some point, and the interior of the residence doesn’t exist in the game, so he has to stand around under an awning in the parking lot like a valet or something.

SacralPlexus,

Totally agree. I only got it to play with friends who are into it but was hoping it would be good. The story / cutscenes are so incredibly cheesy to me. It’s almost a parody but the joke never quite lands.

How is it on steam deck?

MegaUltraChicken,

It’s okay. 40 fps with fsr3. I have been sticking with my desktop for that reason. The game is absolutely fantastic though.

I just saw it was added to PS+ the other day, and I am downloading it just because I loved Control. I wonder if it has M&KB support on PS5 tho, because I fucking suck ass with a controller in FPS games.

Edit: It do have support 😍

Syndicate from 1993. Don’t know if that fulfills the “RPG” part of Tactical RPG but it’s definitely worth a play.

Yes! I loved playing this game on our old 486.

Poop,

I feel like it had RPG elements with the soldier upgrades and equipment. There was progression in what your characters could do. This game was amazing, I’d love a remake of this with some small graphical and quality of life improvements.

You’ve waited now 7 years - waiting a bit longer won’t hurt - but then again if you wait for the next one there will probably always be another one after that.
