So why did they drop the team numbers from 6 to 5? Does it really make that much of a difference? Couldn’t they just have both modes available (like Halo has 16v16, 32v32 and such)?
I really do enjoy Sea of Thieves. The arcadey gameplay of it means you can just hit up the high seas whenever you’re feeling that particular pirate itch, go on some adventures (depth of which varies on your preference), maybe fish a little bit, cook some food and just have a general good time.
If you don’t want to play on the PvE-only servers, you can always go to the lower east corner of the map, with all the volcano islands. I almost never encounter people around there.
Or you could play late night-early morning, when less people are awake in your region.
I think a live-action Avatar could do well. I haven’t watched the Netflix show, but at least the bending in that one actually looks like they’re doing something.
This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it....
In almost all the EA games I play, there’s some kind of “bug report” feature, either somewhere directly on the screen while you’re playing, or in the pause menu or something.
I recently booted up Half-Life 2 to replay it. I have played the absolute shit out of this game before, so 60% of it just feels like a drag to me now. It was such an amazing game but it’s sort of spoiled for me after I’ve played it too much....
From the alternate starts, to the different ways you can even play the game (wanna be a lone trader, traveling from town to town buying and selling goods? Want to be the ultimate warrior who can go toe-to-toe with the Spider King? Wanna build a city/outpost where you can be totally sufficient and build up your own personal army to take over the world?), to the sheer size of the world. Plus all the awesome mods that can add so much to the game that already has a lot. You start off with your skills at 0 or in the low tens, and you will get your ass handed to you on an iron platter until you actually train up a bit; but even a high or max level character can still get fucked up by the wrong group of enemies.
I have mods that add a couple new factions (the fungoids are OP), flesh other factions out a bit more with more weapons and gear, and other building mods and some QoL mods so I can truly tailor my experience how I like it.
It plays kinda like an RTS with a mix of RPG elements.
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!...
I have a couple hundred hours on Valheim from the past couple years, and I love it. I haven’t played since Ashlands came out, but I’m excited to jump into it at some point.
I’ve heard that this Sakurajima update (wild name, btw) is pretty huge, bringing an entire building system overhaul, new pieces, as well as new pals and an entire new map.
That’s how most games are lol. Of course you have your fanatics who have to play the new game and nothing but the new game (looking at the Abiotic Factor discord server), but once I finish the current content I’ll move on to something else until a new update.
I’m cycling through Abiotic Factor, Selaco, and Going Medieval right now.
Curious about y’alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze...
I enjoy games that go for retro graphics, because with today’s technology they can do so much more with less.
As far as suggestions: any boomer shooter (Selaco, Supplice, Incision), others people have already mentioned in this thread like Signalis and Dread Delusion, and more like Tenebris Somnia which mixes 8-bit pixel graphics with live-action cutscenes.
Honestly they could’ve had a quidditch minigame in HL. The two that are in it are fun, but they either need to be replayable without having to start a whole new story, or add more minigames based around causing mischief and having fun with your wizard friends.
I could see a quidditch game kinda work if it was like a hero shooter or whatever. Each team has a roster of certain characters with different stats to fulfill the different roles. There could be a snitch, but just make it so incredibly fast that it comes down to pure luck if you happen to catch it. Or just make different playable modes like “no snitch” and “with snitch”.
I liked the little “rpg-lite” elements thrown around like getting to snack on candy and drinking butter beer and such. They really should’ve leaned more into that, but who knows what was going on behind the scenes with WB and all.
Greetings festive fellowship of the fediverse, it's the second day of the #SteamNextFest , and there are still many games to discover and discuss, let's share our mutual discoveries of today
Fera: The Sundered Tribes: an open world survival game based around monster hunting and exploration. You have a glider and a tether that can attach to certain points in the world and you can swing around them like Spider-Man.
First Dwarf: another open world survival crafting game where you play as a dwarf sent to start colonies on floating islands. You have a mech suit you can get in and out of whenever, and a dragon companion you can take control of and fly wherever, similar to the eagles in the new Assassin’s Creed games.
Parcel Corps: a mix of Crazy Taxi and JSRF, you play as a bicycle courier who needs to deliver packages. The demo takes place in a decent sized and maze-like area called “The Plazeria” that’s actually pretty fun to whip around on your bike.
I also downloaded (but haven’t played yet) Goblin Cleanup, which is basically a fantasy version of Viscera Cleanup Detail; and Once Human which seems pretty wild.
Things aren’t looking good for me. I’m a few levels into Selaco, a new FPS out now on Steam, and I’m stuck behind a bar as a group of sci-fi soldiers unload their rifles and shotguns into my hiding spot. I’m also low on health. So yeah, a bad spot to be in. I take a deep breath and try something....
Just looked it up on Steam, and it’s part of a bundle with another GZDoom game called Supplice which looked pretty cool, so I got that. I also bought a game called Incision which looks pretty wild too.
They’re all boomer shooters and I’m excited to play them.
Honestly that’s what made me stop playing OG Half-Life until Black Mesa came out. I wanted to do it without cheats or anything, but goddamn do the enemies pack a punch.
I know this is a couple weeks old, but I just got Supplice and Incision, along with Hedon based on a recommendation in this thread. They’re all boomer shooters that honestly look absolutely bonkers and I’m excited to jump into them.
Supplice looks to be kind of a mix of classic Doom with OG Half-Life on an alien planet you’re terraforming.
Incision looks like a crazy nightmare.
Hedon is thicc orc women with flamethrower machine guns.
