I mean, it’s legitimately a bright spot.

But with November of this year likely heralding the legitimacy of fascism in the US, it’s incumbent upon us to try enjoy the silly shit before that comes along.

Still on Dragon’s Dogma 2. (at 94 hours of playtime)

I’m still finding new places around every corner. It’s got a ton of fun stuff to discover if you like open-world games.

Dragon’s Dogma 2, getting close to 80 hours. I still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface because, now that I’m getting 60’ish level pawns to run in my party, I’m still finding a ton of secrets in areas I’ve already explored extensively. In the game, the pawns you summon can show you secrets about the world that their players have discovered. It’s a neat mechanic.

If you like exploring open worlds, it’s a pretty great game.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

That’s okay.

It’s definitely not for everyone. I like it because it’s fun to explore the world they’ve built, but it’ll be more fun when the launch bugs are worked out.

This isn’t microtransactions as they are usually implemented.

You have access to all of the content in the game for the sticker price, and that’s all that matters to me.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

There isn’t a lack of information. They’ve been very public on what this is.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

Very cool.

I had such a hard time beating Radahn. Deeply satisfying.

Dungeons of the Endless

Castlevania

Neverwinter Nights (Which I’ve been playing or DMing on for 23 years)

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

DotE is a tower defense roguelike with pixel graphics and a team of heroes you manage. It also has one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard.

Castlevania needs no description. It’s just one of the best games ever made.

Neverwinter Nights has stood the test of time for me because it has persistent game worlds, built by other players (basically mini, homemade MMO’s), that you can log in and play. I also use its DM client to run online adventures for other players myself.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

Of course. The more the merrier. The only thing to be aware of is that it’s largely a good/neutral party, so if you’re playing evil you’ll have to do it well and be a little incognito.

Here’s the discord for our PW: discord.gg/kXuuKEme

We play on Saturdays at 8PM EST on Daggerford. Sessions generally last 2-3 hours.

On the Baldur’s Gate server DM’d games are on Thursdays and Sundays. (Other DM’s run those.)

Dragons Dogma 2

I’m 20 hours in and enjoying it immensely despite it’s flaws, and the character creator is so good I made Arya Stark my main pawn.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

I’d love to see it. I adore open-world games.

FlashMobOfOne,

You disliking something does not make it inherently bad.

Let people enjoy things.

Jeanne D’Arc and the PSP’s Twisted Metal were damn good.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

Oh yes. I have the gold Zelda limited edition 3DS XL in my collection.

My favorite games for the 3DS were Resident Evil Mercenaries, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Ultimate NES Remix.

Disney Dreamlight Valley on Switch

The Monsters Inc update came out last week, so I’m busy unlocking all the cool stuff from Monsters Inc.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

I hit a wall with DD1.

I hope they’ve made the second a little less of a chore, because it really is a cool setting, and I loved that I could partner up with other players’ toons.

FlashMobOfOne,

If I want relaxation it’s Disney Dreamlight Valley.

When the cameras reacted to the purring I was hooked.

Spent most of my time this week, as per the ushe, playing Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition and doing setup for the Saturday campaign I run every week using the game’s DM client.

Great fun.

If anyone out there is into D&D and has free time on Saturdays, the game is cheap and you’d be welcome to join us. The server name is ALFA Sea of Swords 034: Daggerford.

Also picked up Sands of Aura, which is an indie soulslike and I’m just starting on that today. The reviews speak to excellent level design, and I love a game I can explore.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

Man, I put 80 hours into it in Act 1 last summer and haven’t picked it back up yet.

I’ll enjoy the rest when I feel like it, still GOTY for me even only playing a third of it.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

Enshrouded looks cool. What’s your opinion on it?

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

It’s an incredible game.

Act 1 just felt like a game unto itself and I was satisfied for the moment.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

The pawn system was my favorite feature of the first game.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

There are some games that are so good I’ve been content to repurchase them on new devices, like Castlevania.

But I also have an extensive library of emulators on my PC, which is important too because many of these games can no longer be played otherwise.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

I love the REmakes but am waiting for RE4 to drop below $20. I did, however, get a steam gift card for Christmas and picked up The Outlast Trials, and it’s good and terrifying.

China announces rules to reduce spending on video games (www.reuters.com)

“Online games will now be banned from giving players rewards if they log in every day, if they spend on the game for the first time or if they spend several times on the game consecutively. All are common incentive mechanisms in online games.”

Abso-fucking-lutely.

FlashMobOfOne,

Couldn’t care less. I’ll just call the character what I always have.

A few hidden gems I’ve played:

Dungeons of the Endless: store.steampowered.com/…/Dungeon_of_the_ENDLESS/

Solasta Crown of the Magister: …steampowered.com/…/Solasta_Crown_of_the_Magister…

Tower of Time: store.steampowered.com/app/617480/Tower_of_Time/

Detroit: Become Human: store.steampowered.com/…/Detroit_Become_Human/

The Dark Pictures Anthology - Man of Medan: …steampowered.com/…/The_Dark_Pictures_Anthology_M…

I hope you like them all as much as I did.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

There’s plenty of combat. If you’ve played BG3 I imagine you’ll enjoy it.

The caveat is that it’s made by an indie studio, so the cutscenes aren’t AAA, but I think the game is amazing regardless, and that includes the expansion packs.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

I think Dungeons of the Endless also has one of the best soundtracks in recent years. I like to have it on shuffle when I’m doing yoga.

FlashMobOfOne, (edited )
!deleted7243 avatar

I loved all of it, personally. Is there anything in particular you’re looking for that I can comment on, in terms of RPG’s?

My only two complaints with Solasta was that I felt the random encounters with traveling got annoyingly frequent and the cutscenes are definitely indie, but I enjoyed the game as a whole so much I stopped caring about either.

But I can confirm that the DLC’s have a ton of meat too.

Fighting Fantasy books

I love Next Fest… but I’m really waiting for the Halloween sale on horror games.

Truly open-world Star Wars. Like a Breath of the Wild game except with multiple planets and all the Star Wars stuff.

We had something close to it with SW: Galaxies, but… RIP SW: Galaxies.

I actually have a 3E diorama of from the opening level hanging in my condo. I replay it once or twice a year. Still holds up.

FEAR was so darn good.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

Dead Space still scares the hell out of me.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

I loved Resident Evil but it was the third one that really got me, with the havoc in the streets and the scare where you realize Nemesis can literally chase you from room-to-room and/or show up literally anywhere at any time.

Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun? (kbin.cafe) angielski

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

I’d say Dark Souls 2.

When you get to the area with the bazillion spitting statues that respawn when you do, it became very clear that Fromsoft was out of ideas for making the game both interesting AND challenging.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

Good.

One of my good friends was one of the voices on LA Noire years ago and gets zero residuals from it. It’s maddening.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

The worst one I can remember is Final Fantasy 8.

But also the UI was so complicated and bad that it made me hate the game.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

That’s what Solasta did. (Developer: Tactical Adventures)

Then we got two more fully-fleshed adventures as DLC’s, which I was more than happy to buy.

Find good developers and then (if you can) pay full price so they can keep making great, microtransaction-free games.

What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?

This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I’m just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian’s previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian’s recent crpgs as well). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the...

FlashMobOfOne,

It’s that simple.

Player stats for the first weekend of Baldur's Gate 3 (store.steampowered.com) angielski

We’ve cooked up some statistics highlighting data from the opening weekend following launch and prepared a handy infographic outlining player choices, actions, deaths, and the like. Some inspiration as we head into our second weekend, if you will.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

I went with Tiefling Bard.

It’s been fun so far.

FlashMobOfOne,
!deleted7243 avatar

There are usually ways around this in the config files. That’s how I’ve always fixed it.
