Where do you find new games nowadays? (Both singleplayer + multiplayer) angielski

Hi all, I know this question has probably been posted on the internet millions of times, yet I would like to receive some Lemmy-oriented answers. :) What are your favorite places, websites, or creators for discovering new games in your favorite genres?

Nithanim,

Steam frontpage, twitch streamers I watch and sometimes word of mouth.

Nithanim,

Pretty sure it is called The Talos Principle but glad you found this gem!

Nithanim,

This statement reminds me awfully of the Living World Season 4 Story in Guild Wars 2.

And yes, before people become angry about this comparison: I said “reminds me”, not “the same as” or anything else.

Explanation (hard spoiler!):

spoilerIn essence, you do everything you can, unite different people for the fight that determines the fate of the world. But… you lose and that was the only chance. You barely survive with your friends; but not all. youtu.be/jk5nfHxyQno?t=7220The Commander (you) are asked what to do (because you always had some kind of answers; a plan; every time). But since this was the only hope, you say “I don’t know.”

Nithanim,

It really did hit hard.

At least for me I could get into the next story part after I was like “wtf just happened” but for players at the time of release this was the latest part of the story and they were stuck with this awful last line for week(s).

Nithanim,

I did not even know that a DLC came out. I am sure I would have if it was good news because streamers I follow would have tested it.

But it is so sad. I really liked cities skylines because it basically is what I wanted from sim city. But with a million mods it would always break at certain points and force me to stop playing. I had such high hopes with 2 but seeing this game at launch and now seemingly still broken is so… well I am not really sure how I (should) feel.

The good thing is, that I do not have to keep reading and researching but rather wait for some “news” to pop up in my feed again. So I can get back to forgetting about it.

Nithanim,

I heard sPvP is toxic but I have not played that. For WvW it depends on the server/commander/guild. There are certainly commander being very aggressive about getting the absolute maximum out of it but it also ranges to “just follow me so at least have a larger group”.

And yeah, PvE is pretty chill. I find it fascinating time and time again at AB that it is possible to speed through it without any communication.

Nithanim,

Man, one time I joined the public (pvp) raid of a well known crazy guild. Pretty sure that at least the leader had taken some stuff. The shit-talk was hilarious and they didn’t care what happened. One of the most memorable raids I had the privilege being a part of.

Nithanim, (edited )

Sorry, AB is short for “Auric Basin”. Or more specifically, its map meta event.

Edit: To elaborate there are some more map meta event short names:

spoiler- AB: Aurric Basin - DS: Dragon Storm - THP: Thunderhead Peaks (Keep/North; Oil/South) - DBS: Death Branded Shatterer

Nithanim,

Dyson Sphere Program, it is great in multiplayer and cool to see your dyson sphere grow. But at some point it is just tedious to expand and you don’t have any real benefit from it. The few runs I made were nice but never finished a sphere. It also takes so much time I do not have anymore.

Nithanim,

Depends on how you count it. There is a multiplayer mod, nebula. Before the latest major patch (introducing enemies), it worked pretty flawlessly. I only had some glitch with infinite bot charge sometimes but nothing game breaking. Very rarely it randomly stated an error and had to re-join the host. Only downside is that you need to (and must be able to) port forward yourself! Otherwise playable like if it was singleplayer.

For the latest version, last time I checked, there was still no official release. But a work-in-progress I could have potentially downloaded and compiled myself. But since my motivation to play was already low I chose not to figure that out.

Nithanim,

I don’t get why I would ever have to read announcements. I put the game on the wishlist and got the notification that it is available. I only knew of the post because I watched a streamer play it for a bit and one in chat mentioned the announcement and the streamer read the message out loud. At the very least they should have marked it early access.
