I’m gonna be real, with all the material to be inspired by, you dont really have to spend all that much to produce a great story. 1 had all the pieces there, it was just missing that little something that makes it great. It felt like a watered down Monty Python.

DS1/2, yes

DS3/Elden Ring, no

Sekiro, I wish

They nerf you if you join in on a much lower leveled friend. The issue doesnt exactly exist on DS1/2 either, as by now there are players of all levels. You’ll just get different match ups.

DS3 won’t match you with invasions that are far from your level either, but you can play with friends if any level with a password.

Elden Ring also matches you near level but you are adjusted to be near the host and invasions also play off multiple other factors so you aren’t RL20 invading someone on NG++. Its probably the most complex of the soulslikes so far with the matchmaking.

Bloodborne had something too but I dont remember cause I dont have a PlayStation or emulator :(

Damn they took a good rave spot and made it gritty.

I would say the only thing I cherish from Fallout 4 is the power armor mechanics. Throw that shit in New Vegas and let’s gooo

Fixing broken Oblivion Remastered difficulty without mods?

Hello, I am currently playing a high elf spellsword around level 18 on Xbox (so no mods). I maxed out the intelligence and destruction skill a few levels ago and unfortunately the strength of destruction spells is completely broken. I one-shot or two-shot pretty much any enemy I meet with a custom touch fire spell. It’s not...

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

I have a maxed out character and expert still makes everything a brick wall. The balancing just truly sucks in Oblivion, especially since everything levels with you. The best thing to do is lean into the jank. Minmax completely and expert will become more fun. This game wasn’t mean to be played seriously, it was made to break.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

What other industry is allowed to just do this? Its robbery. If I want to buy an Xbox and mod it to hell I should be able to. At most they should be able to disconnect me from their online infrastructure. Not brick my console.

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Just go play the classic Marathon 1 and 2, they’re great and you get to see the magic of looking up or down in an FPS for the first time.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

This game looks fuccen sicc. So whatever else is in store, the artists know what’s up at least. Don’t see a reason to hate on this as bald chicks are a huge part of that aesthetic. I better only see bald and half or partially shaved heads.

You also just described KOTOR 1 & 2, Elite Dangerous, Eve Online, Endless Skies, and in a way Hellpoint. All Sci-Fi.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

For sure, ill feed your curiosity. Starfield is expanding to the stars, massive choices on where the story goes based on your responses, the capabilities to befriend or antagonize any enemy whether a human, alien, or these strange pirates. You deal with politics, survival, and attempting to save the galaxy while trying to discover the hidden story. If you call that generic, I feel sorry for you.

Yeah except you didnt say ship building. You didnt say anything about game mechanics here, this is all marketing jargon that can be interpreted in different ways. Maybe go with mechanics if you’re trying to paint uniqueness instead of regurgitating the back of the pamphlet.

How about we stay within the contexts of our reply chains. You are extremely hurt in the butt about all of this so I can only assume you’re taking each criticism of this game as a personal attack. You should chill.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Not really freaking out. And I replied directly to you. It was the second comment in the chain that I replied to originally. But go off.

Agreed, enjoy your mother’s day with you and your’s.

God damn that shit was expensive no wonder I never got one when I had an advance already.

Day 292 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing

I got back to Oblivion’s Remaster today and did the entire Dark Brotherhood quest. Or at least i thought i did. What i didn’t end up realizing was that what i thought was the end of the quest wasn’t the end. I have a whole 3 more ranks left after i kill the Dark brotherhood. When i did my unfinished playthrough when i was...

My cousin just did this house party mission. I was like “man, you’re gonna love this mission. The dialogue is-” and I look at his fucken stream and he instantly just starts shooting people, never talks to anyone to hear the dialogue, and finishes the whole thing in 5 minutes without ever interacting with someone unless it was to kill them.

Bullshit like this is why our industry is a mess, Nintendo may be greedy fucks but their code is good because the same dudes have been working there since the fucken 80s.

“Fuck, well, publish it as another light novel. I’m sure they’ll quit soon.”

Every. Single. Game. Ever.

Recently I’ve played dead space and some other survival horror games like Alien Isolation, and just about every single time you see someone in there, they’re somehow invincible. Like, the fuck, that fat idiot inside that VIP Area there has somehow managed to lock himself in that room for what, weeks? Months? And somehow...

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Games are boring when nothing happens to the player. So lots of things happen to the player. You can consider this the MC’s time when months happen in days.

Nothing can save bad writing. Everyone wants to make a Handler Walter, but not everyone can handle it.

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Its a fun sandbox roguelike with an actually explorable world on the surface. One thing that is dumb is theres no moon on shared worlds. So you can’t do anything with the Essences you find. The Works is still accessible though and getting to hell itself is always a fun challenge.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

That seems like a questionable move tbh

I’d imagine the Hades IP makes good money on Steam. It must be a guap unless I am dead wrong.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, yeah I didnt gleam that from reading the word console a million times in the article. Thank you. It makes sense now. Nintendo money + Steam sales.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

The only thing I know about Hades is its on Steam and every character it shows is chiseled as hell.

What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

I tried playing Harvest Moon on the SNES today and having played Stardew Valley for hours, I thought I'd try and see how tolerable the original Harvest Moon was in comparison. I know and understand it is unfair because there's a 20 year gap between Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, while also discrediting Harvest Moon's later...

I haven’t been on Space Station 13 since Space Station 14 came out. The controls are just actually intuitive and BYOND is dead in the water.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah its disconnected from BYOND. I think you can launch it standalone but it also comes through Steam (always free). It was pretty bare bones but now its catching up. Looks easier to maintain and mod on the back end.

Deep Rock Galactic roguelike dev says innovation for innovation's sake is too expensive to survive: "We're a studio of 50 people with bills to pay" (www.gamesradar.com)

“It sounds weird but we try to keep our innovation as low as possible,” the director explained. “We’ll say ‘it’s this game but with that.’ It takes so much time to innovate. Sometimes you find the hidden holy Grail of game design, but often indie developers sit for five years trying out stuff. We’re a studio of...

I mean, can we go back to more SM1 than 2? I wanna play boi dress up with each chapter. Not just the Ultra Marines and other loyalists.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

The issue is the customization. I dont know how everyone else feels but SM1 was better because we got to play dress up with any chapter we wanted pretty much. SM2 has a fraction of that. What it does have 80% is Ultra Marine focused.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m so thankful for them. Love me some Blood Angels. But go back and look at the customization in SM1. It was an entire universe apart.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

I had to make my own Blood Angels death company stuff with just colors. NGL, I’m very skeptical about the best parts of this game not being completely backed apart for the 3rd round. Shareholders can’t resist selling us cosmetics. At least 2 let’s you mod it.

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

I wonder if these can be imported. If its about the aesthetic of it in a retail ready box.

Oiligarchy: Play as an Oil Oligarch that puts profit above all else, fund coups in other countries, assassinate protestors, and fund political parties to ensure they remain under your boot (www.crazygames.com)

Oiligarchy is a strategy game where you explore and drill around the world, corrupt politicians, stop alternative energies, and increase oil addiction. It’s all about the profits and not about the people and animals you may hurt along the way. Start drilling resources now!

Its kinda crazy this game is almost 20 years old already, and also how its still exactly as relevant as before.

Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! (lemmy.world)

I’ve been sinking further and further into the RetroDECK time-sink of setting up my emulators just so, and having the most fun doing so. The PS2 is a largely unknown system to me, I neither had one nor spent much time before now playing through some titles....

Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is great classic fun

Honestly any version but the GameCube one lol

Yeah I dont play these games anymore. Catch me on the Space Station 14, where we pretend to work for an evil corporation while having none (except Valve) involved.

Multiversus ends updates, will close servers on May 30 (but will remain playable in Singleplayer) (multiversus.com)

I played it in the “open beta” two years ago. Sad that it’s come to this, the game had a lot going for it but… having all characters locked on start then weirdly shutting the game down for an extended time then coming back with everything somehow worse… everyone saw this coming....

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

I mean half these games could do some form of self-hosting or Peer to Peer. It makes no sense that Multiverses needed to run on some centralized service. I wonder what made all the dinosaur survival games allow self-hosting, a trend I noticed.

Day 198 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (lemmy.world)

Today’s game is Halo Reach. Me and a friend were going to play Halo 2 but for some reason MCC on steam only downloaded Reach, so we played that instead. We found a pair of forklifts and while the NPCs handled the fighting we drove them around and crashed into eachother. You can see the battle above taking place. finally after...

Idk their emulation is garbage except for the suspension and rewind. A lot of the open source emulation I have seen, especially of Nintendo products, is immaculate.

Even vimm’s has been scorched of most Nintendo properties. So they definitely take down ROM sites.

Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? (lemmy.world)

So I’m re-doing some of my Do Not Press The Button (Or You’ll Delete The Multiverse) character models and I have this duck that is kind of inspired by the Companion Cube in Portal. I want to make it as appealing as possible so the players will attach to it and carry it around with them. Which looks better! I’m more partial...
