Tempest Rising, the new modern command & conquer game. I really like it, and struggled for weeks how to beat the computer in skirmish on hard as GDF.

Turns out i hadnt realized the huge value of comms…

I wouldnt go that far. Skylines 2 has a new game engine. If it wouldnt have turned out to be incredibly slow, it would have been a very successful launch.

And I cant imagine anyone buying Skylines 2 if it used the same engine as Skylines 1. Then it truly would have been no point. The new engine was supposed to make cities more beautiful and more realistic. They just didnt manage to make it fast.

I unfortunately bought the game for 50 dollars in launch day and I have just 3 hours in it. I cant bring myself to play it because of the sluggish feeling.

I didnt know it was a new studio too. Thats a classic mistake.

Its pretty much exactly like command & conquer, but its modern, so fun to play.

1984, 2 miesiące temu

I bought it yesterday, its a modern command & conquer, worth buying if you like that sort of base building, resource gathering and massive fight kind of a game. :)

There hasnt been anything like it in decades so I like it a lot.

1984, 2 miesiące temu

No, unfortunately it doesnt. The scenes are more or less serious, so thats a bit sad, but its ok.

Frostpunk 2 is about politics. I hated it and don’t play it at all. It’s not even similar to the first amazing game. You may be disappointed unless you like politics.

Path of Exile and Counterstrike both are over 1000 hours for me.

It’s linked to social media. I guess they can’t criticize that.

I’m going to get into Path of Exile 2 this week. Seems like most players are happy with it.

1984, 6 miesięcy temu

Yep getting smashed a lot now. Will have to switch some skills around and try to improve.

Path of Exile is much more flexible and advanced than Diablo - you have almost unlimited flexibility in what your character can do. Everything stacks too, so your jewel slots, ring slots, armor slots… Everything works together.

So this is not just hack and slash, you won’t actually be able to complete the game even unless you understand some of that complexity.

If you stick with it, you will have many aha moments where your character suddenly doubles his damage because you figured out a good way to build it and combine it’s items to maximize its potential.

I played a lot before but I have grown tired of it. But it probably gave me several hundreds of hours of semi-fun gameplay.

Sounds like you should reconsider how you spend your life on earth.

Every time I hear about eve, I remember how much I wished it was a slightly different game. There is no way to play eve without investing many hours each time. Everything takes a very long time.

On the plus side, just the feeling that someone may come up and kill you and take your stuff makes the game feel quite scary. I was doing wormholes for a while and pretty much was constantly nervous about getting killed. Never happened though.

If you look at games that get overwhelmingly positive on stream, most of them have only ok graphics. It’s the feeling of the game that matters.

I have no idea what woke even means anymore. It seems to mean “social awareness”. Black lives matters kind of a thing. Equal rights for trans people too of course. That doesn’t mean that everyone should support games being forced into having all genders, or races, or include trans people. Or all books or movies should be forced to have those things.

If you create something, it’s up to you how you want that to be. You are the artist.

This is not equal to hating trans people, and anyone with some iq points realizes this. We can’t turn every creation into a vehicle for trans rights.

I didn’t know that was what was happening here. Did the article say that?

1984, 9 miesięcy temu

It’s part of an effort to normalize seeing it. I think it’s probably good, but it’s just a bit unrealistic sometimes and feels very forced. ':)

1984, 9 miesięcy temu (edited 9 miesięcy temu)

I think I’m on the other side - I think it’s way too much woke agenda in a lot of popular TV shows we watch. Disney competely wrecked a lot of shows because they kept pushing in gender/race related things that felt competely out of place.

I couldn’t even watch the acolyte. They wrecked it competely. Many web pages have described what’s wrong with it so won’t repeat that here, but hopefully you already know what I mean.

In what way? I don’t even know what “telling on himself” means. I’m just expression my opinion about this. Why is that so upsetting?

1984, 9 miesięcy temu

Yeah andor was amazing. Took me a while to get into it but once I did, I wanted to finish. :)

I have no idea. I don’t read about games very much and don’t follow what’s happening. I guess games are like movies, we like to identify with the characters to feel the game is good. Sometimes it’s hard if they are very different from us, and then the movie / game is very boring or even annoying.

1984, 9 miesięcy temu

Good point, you are probably right :)

1984, 9 miesięcy temu

I think gaming in general have it hard now. There are millions of games and only a handful are best sellers.

I feel the same about movies. So many, but just a few are worth watching because they are original.

1984, 9 miesięcy temu

Nope.

1984, 9 miesięcy temu

Ok I read the article… Answer is still nope.

Russian game companies are not our enemy. The leadership of the country may be, but so what? You going to try and influence that by choosing non-russian games? That’s ridiculous… :)

1984, 9 miesięcy temu (edited 9 miesięcy temu)

I think it’s silly. You can’t fight dictators with gaming choices. That stuff is real life.

I don’t think it will be as good as the first one. That game had a unique feeling. I spent many hours trying to beat the big storm and had tons of fun. Played it over and over again many times until I finally understood how to get through the storm.

I hope this one is also difficult and rewarding, but I doubt it will be as good as the first one, now that we expect so much from it.

This is technical but you could set up a wireguard vpn server and let your friends connect to your computer. Then you all look like you are sitting in your home network from the steam servers point of view.

Or just install Tailscale which makes it even easier and is free for like 3 computers.

Your friends will have a bit of lag though since all their connections have to go through your computer to the steam network. But I believe it may not be noticeable.

1984, 9 miesięcy temu

That’s very generous of them. I thought it was just 3. :)

Fishing fits that game… I always had the feeling that there was no point to doing anything in the game. I guess I like some kind of progress feeling.

1984, 10 miesięcy temu

I played the game when it first came out but it’s still there after all these years… Crazy.

1984, 11 miesięcy temu

I wish I could get into no man’s sky but it just bores me. Similar to everyone else who don’t like it, I quickly got tired of everything being so similar everywhere. But I guess it’s good for people who like seeing random animals.

I just see white dots.

I would like to understand how they infer these things without becoming a science major. Is it just math equations based on what they think is the distance to the planet and then more math based on what they think the atmosphere is, and so on? Because they can’t actually see the planet.

I bought it but haven’t played it nearly at all. Just lost interest in it when everything felt slow.

It will probably become quite popular in a few years when better hardware is default.

No I bought it after the reviews were bad, but figured they would quickly fix the issues. They did not

I stopped watching in the first episode when the tiny girl beat up a muscular huge man.

Felt like avengers but she is supposed to be a normal girl right? I felt it was so dumb.

Yeah I don’t know the fallout backstory at all, but A+ doesn’t change things like physics.

Yeah I’ve heard about that actually :) Funny…

Really? So interesting to me that someone would think she could even hurt the guy.

1984, rok temu

Well I guess, if the TV show is supposed to be like a game, then at least I understand why she is overpowered.

1984, rok temu

I mean, as the previous posters have said, if this is supposed to be like a game, then sure. Anything is possible. But if it was reality, she would have no chance against that guy.

1984, rok temu

I removed the smiley since I didn’t intend it to be condescending. But I’m 100% certain that guy would knock that girl out in a second. It wasn’t just “a man”, it was a fit fighter man with tons of muscles.

But like I said, if it’s a game, there is no real physics so anything is possible.

1984, rok temu

Yeah it’s fine. Let’s move on to other topics. :)

Yeah makes sense. I don’t know the backstory at all so in that light, it makes sense. Guess they wanted to cast some sexy actor rather than someone who looks the part.
