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?

OutlierBlue,

Who cares? I exclude genres I don’t like too. Play the games you like. I’m sure those poor indie games will do just fine despite a guy on Lemmy saying he excludes them.

Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals angielski

Initial scrolling of the Steam Summer Sale seems pretty lackluster, but digging through the comments sections in other threads, a few gems have stood out, and it doesn’t appear we have a thread dedicated to this yet, so post what you think are the best deals here!...

OutlierBlue,

open world RPG based on Norse mythology.

Slavic mythology, not Norse.

OutlierBlue,

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

We’ve known what Bethesda is for years.

OutlierBlue,

Cool. I’ve never heard of this. I tossed the devs a few bucks by picking it up on Steam.

OutlierBlue,

I tried to sign up but never got a confirmation email. It’s been about 30 minutes. I checked my spam folder and it’s not there.

Game looks cool though.

OutlierBlue,

Would you recommend just getting the base game, or is it worth getting the Community of Planets Edition with the DLCs included? Do they add much to the game?

OutlierBlue,

Yeah, holy crap! I bought it back in 2014: TEN YEARS AGO. I’d completely forgotten about it until seeing this post. Now I’m excited about it again.

OutlierBlue,

Not everyone has it built in.

Aphantasia

OutlierBlue,

I’m gonna wait for the Ultra Game of the Year Turbo Deluxe edition Complete

OutlierBlue,

Yeah seriously. Amazing devs who kept on their update cycle and listened to their fans. A lot of the QoL improvements were suggested by the community.

I bought it during last year’s Steam Winter sale and it’s one of my most played games.

OutlierBlue,

Such a good game. I picked it up during last year’s Winter Sale on Steam. I’ve got about 200 hours in it so far, and I’m playing up to Prestige 8. It’s pretty challenging at that level, and I’m not sure how to progress past it.

I’m glad to see the devs have announced 1.0, although the game has been totally playable since I first picked it up. I love the effort and work they put into every update, and I’m really gonna miss them adding and improving stuff.

OutlierBlue,

Yes, that’s exactly it. They changed the format a while ago. You get to see the entire bundle before you buy it, and can skip months as long as you want. I buy maybe 2 or 3 bundles a year and skip all the rest.

OutlierBlue,

Rimworld for sure. I paid full price for it on Ludeon’s website and played it a lot. When it released on Steam I started playing it there and now it’s my most played Steam game by far. Based on some quick and dirty math, it’s cost me under $0.03 per hour of enjoyment.

Another big one is Against the Storm. I’ve only played a few hundred hours so far but that’s been worth every penny I spent too. I bought it during the last Winter Sale on Steam and I’ve put in about 200 hours.

OutlierBlue,

200 hours

Just a beginner, huh?

OutlierBlue,

If it’s tedious, why would you keep playing? Just stop and move on to a different game. If you only play it for 15 hours before dropping it, then that becomes the figure for the $/t ratio.

OutlierBlue,

It’s still a valid metric because why would you keep playing a game you’re not enjoying? The number of hours isn’t a measure of how much time it takes to beat, or how much time I feel I should get out of it. It’s how much time I do get out of it.

I don’t care if a $30 game claims to have 100 hours of content. If I only play it for 2 hours before I drop it for being boring, then the cost/time is $15/hour.

OutlierBlue,

Serene

Rimworld

Me, over here committing war crimes: Uhhh…

OutlierBlue,

I’ve never heard of this game before now, but I really liked Monster Train.

I checked it out and it looks like a lot of fun. With the news they’re removing monetization I picked up a copy.

OutlierBlue,

They probably spent that 1 minute playing more Inkbound.

OutlierBlue, (edited )

It reminds me of grinding levels in classic WoW, but without the benefit of getting new skills and feeling more powerful with the levels.

The problem is the level scaling. It literally doesn’t matter if you gain levels because everything else does too. You don’t feel any accomplishment because you haven’t gained any power over the monsters.

You can’t get your butt kicked by a boss and go elsewhere to gain a few more levels to try again because the boss gets more powerful too.

There’s nothing to push me to gain levels.

OutlierBlue,

I hated the campaign too. It was boring, and I never felt invested in it at all.

OutlierBlue, (edited )

don’t let the early access tag dissuade you

The game is fully playable and has hardly any bugs. They have a set schedule for updates: every two weeks. I’m amazed at the changes they’ve done since I picked it up during the winter sale (9ish months ago). The devs are dedicated, that’s for sure.

It’s one of my favourite games. The devs are really good at making the choices you make interesting and meaningful.

OutlierBlue,

Ah yes, the age-old strategy game of choosing which games to flesh out my backlog.

OutlierBlue,

DragonLance War of the Lance would be cool
