Pacific Drive had one of the most atmospheric intros I’ve seen since Half Life. It loses a little once you start scavenging and crafting and get your HUD, but still a unique game. Like a cross between My Summer Car and STALKER.

dan1101,

That wasn’t clear to me either, I will try it again.

dan1101,

I had a game watch around 5th grade. It was LCD and had a tiny little joystick at the bottom of the screen. It would play imitations of games like Pac Man and Space Invaders. Apparently I wasn’t ghosty enough because it got confiscated pretty quickly.

Seeking: Kid-friendly Adventure/Exploration Games (PC)

My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man’s Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can’t leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I’d like to find other PC games that are...

dan1101,

Minecraft, if you play online and enter a server like Cubecraft the default lobby is very kid friendly and has a large interesting map to explore. And of course the game itself has tons of single player content and you can build your own stuff in survival or creative modes.

Try Grand Theft Auto 5 and see what you think. If you don’t actually do any missions it’s really a very nice and alive world to explore. The pedestrians make some rude comments though.

Also Arma 3, the base map is a sandbox of a real life island with most buildings enterable, and no people or traffic or anything offensive by default. You can enter the editor, place a civilian player and some vehicles, and explore the island completely peacefully. There are also lots of mod maps some are very good.

If only driving around is acceptable then the Forza Horiizon games are great for driving around.

dan1101,

I don’t know, I used to let my young niece play GTA 4 at least, supervised the whole time of course. The rule was you could drive around until you crashed or hit someone, then we switched players. Generally there is no trouble unless you make trouble. The pedestrians can make rude comments but having the volume low solves most of that.

dan1101,

You don’t have to do any of that, but just walking around you will get attacked by all manner of creatures so I would take Witcher 3 off the list on that basis.

dan1101,

Real men played TIE Fighter where your ship didn’t even have shields to begin with.

dan1101,

It’s not the point of the article but from day one Netflix streaming never had close to everything I wanted. They just had enough that there was usually something I could settle for after I didn’t find what I was really trying to watch.

dan1101,

Jumping around, Arma 3 with Antistasi mod, Saints Row, Dragon’s Dogma, Grim Dawn coop, and just bought Void Destroyer 2 for a very low price.

dan1101,

They are a great idea as long as they are optional and hopefully clear about what the settings do.

dan1101,

Another game on my want to play list that I would have paid like $8 for but now it’s free. Cool.

dan1101,

I love that game, great for a short or long chill session.

dan1101,

I think Grim Dawn. Seems like it would be a nice medium between a spastic first person shooter and the slower pace of Divinity Original Sin.

dan1101,

That free giveaway Desolate co-op. It’s like STALKER-lite mixed with Generation Zero.

A neat little early access open world action RPG called The Bloodline.

Starfield a bit, working on getting a Voyager III.

Vampire Survivors when I just want something simple to play.

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on Switch.

dan1101,

How long can they keep giving away free games when their store has never made a profit?

dan1101,

Ok well people spend money on Fortnite and we get free games, that’s a good deal.

dan1101,

Nice review and recap. I never finished Homefront but I bought and finished Homefront The Revolution this year. It was a pretty good time, it tried to be more of a sandbox.

dan1101,

Game is basically Far Cry in a city.

I believe I remember thinking that while playing. But I like Far Cry games. And I paid $4 for it, that didn’t hurt.

dan1101,

It was so great to have those options. Games could do that now but most don’t.

dan1101,

Bagging seems like it should be a valid strategy, let yourself go to the back of the pack to get better items, but run the risk of not being able to catch up.

dan1101,

It uses a lot of my RAM. I love Steam but it needs some optimization.

Here's what a random person on the internet thought of Frontlines: Fuel Of War (lemmy.world) angielski

Frontlines: Fuel Of War is a 2008 game that combines the premise of Battlefield gameplay with the then futuristic aesthetic games like Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. I played through its entire campaign, on normal difficulty to see if it was worth revisiting....

dan1101,

Nice write up. For some reason I thought this was a RTS game. Sounds like a decently fun shooter.

dan1101,

A technical error doesn’t result in popup ads. The code had to already be there.

dan1101,

Last game I finished was Days Gone and it was great. Nice open world zombie shooter in the US state of Oregon. Great map, great characters, decent plot, good action. Very cinematic at times. After the 10+ minutes of cinematic closing credits you can actually start roaming again and there is some more story after the credits.

dan1101,

Arma 3 with mods, so much mission variety. Everything from straight-up milsim to zombies to capture-the-island playground.

dan1101,

Yes you can pay that. But $300 gets you a very functional card. And you can upgrade your PC in increments.

dan1101,

That’s cool but I don’t think the gameplay and level design will hold up very well to today’s standards. This was basically a Doom 1 type game, but with jumping and maybe full 3D? Or was it 2.5D like Doom where you couldn’t have floors over floors?

dan1101,

I used to be pretty decent with the arrow keys, but once full 3D games like Quake 2 started being standard I had to switch to mouse. I remember I switched to mouse and arrow keys for a long time, then finally went WASD.

dan1101,

Starfield, The Crew Motorfest, and Empyrion.

dan1101,

Maybe that wasn’t the best choice of names.

dan1101,

Wildlands is still a great game. It is set in 2019 Bolivia, you work to take down cartels one region at a time. It’s fun both singleplayer and co-op for up to 4 players.

Breakpoint is set on some semi-futuristic Elon Musk type fantasy technology island with drones driving and flying around. The map itself is large and varied, it seems like a South Pacific type environment. Breakpoint initially did a lot of things worse than Wildlands, such as not having AI squadmates and needing to level up your weapons. But since then the game has been updated with a lot of options to fix almost everything, and even add a lot more content. It’s a lot to get used to but ultimately still a lot of fun.

But first play Wildlands, it is fun right away, and more realistic overall.

dan1101,

Exactly. My ideal game would be a mix of Elite Dangerous, X4 Foundations, and Starfield. ED has the galaxy map, flight model, and combat down. It just needs to be more of a game.

dan1101,

I never thought of that, but it would be so much fun.

dan1101,

39% wow. Yeah lots of free games and Humble Bundles.

dan1101,

Is what any good? Humble Bundle? I don’t know, I quit buying them years ago because I didn’t play enough. Same thing with PC Game Pass.

dan1101,

I just wishlist games on Steam and Isthereanydeal.com and wait for sales. In the long run often games will be given away for free before I buy them.

dan1101, (edited )

It’s atmospheric and good, but player choice during many missions is lacking. Choices often boil down to “Yes” or “Not yet.” But you’ll go the way the mission wants you to go or you won’t finish it.

dan1101,

I’ve had 130 hours of fun, still tons to do, and have no idea what temples are. I think I already got my money’s worth.

If temples are needlessly tedious I wouldn’t hesitate to mod them out.

dan1101,

I played hundreds of hours of Elite Dangerous, Starfield is crowded by comparison. The universe is mostly empty and I don’t mind that in a game.

dan1101,

I’m looking forward to the first big update, and the update that officially supports modding, although that is supposed to be next year.

dan1101,

Anybody wanna speculate on how soon they will weasel out of their promise to keep releasing COD on Playstation?

dan1101,

I’m all for hardcore as long as you can figure out what the affliction is and how to avoid/cure it.

dan1101,

I believe it’s Tab on the PC, in the upper right it will actually say what the symbols mean. But even though I carry around helmets/clothes/spacesuits with high ratings for each thing and wear appropriate things I still seem to get warnings when I go outside. I’m not sure if it’s actually affecting me or just a general warning that the hazard exists.

dan1101,

I like them both in different ways. Overall I’d have to say Days Gone though, the game world is so nicely done.

dan1101,

Valve releasing a video on how to break down the Steam Deck was one of the best things I’ve seen from a large company in a long time.
