What the deal with EA Play? I see their subscription prices and I’m not doing that. Then below that I see the game for $3.99 CAD. Can I just get the game that way and not deal with any extra EA stuff?

Ah, that makes my decision easier. Thanks for the info!

I would actually say Witcher 3 is good for that. There’s like 100 smaller quests you can do in 5-10 minutes each. Some of the main storyline quests (which are marked as such) might take 20 or 30 minutes when you’re ready for them. It also has imo one of the best quest tracking systems I’ve seen, as well as best inventory system (sorting, yay) so you don’t have to remember everything after time away from playing.

Dark Souls games can also be played that way - from one bonfire (checkpoint) to the next is usually around 5 to 10 minutes depending on how you play.

Mine is pretty useless. I have 4 hours of playtime on CSGO from 10 years ago and it thinks I want more FPS.

Manually checking out the similar games section of the ones I do play has been a lot better personally.

Edit: not to say discovery queue isn’t good, just that the similar section is another good option

Chrono Trigger and Grandia 2 come to mind.

Dark Souls Remastered. Just hit the halfway point (Anor Londo), upgraded to Great Scythe +15 and things are starting to look up. Now the toughest opponent I’m encountering is gravity.

That your first time with Dark Souls? I played it for the first time on that remaster a couple of years back. I remember those goddamn Anor Londo archers being maybe the only thing in the game that pissed me off so much I had to quit and come back. Damn near EVERYTHING in that game feels “tough but fair” e

First time playing DS1, yes!

First time playing DS1. I’m trying to keep it mostly a blind first playthrough, but I have had to look up help after trying my best and giving up in a few spots - including those archers.

Like how I wandered all the way down to Tomb of Giants extremely early, no lantern drop, no Lordvessel. The Pinwheel fight was so easy that I thought I must be going the right direction.

I completed the Steam 100% achievements for Dark Souls 2 and 3 so decided it was time to try Dark Souls Remastered. So far I think I’m spoiled by the other two games because DSR feels so tedious without bonfire warp. I’m trying to keep my first playthrough mostly blind, but this game does not really seem designed to make that possible. Luckily spoiled the part about going to Tomb of Giants too early and having to backtrack, but I did wander far into Catacombs right after the Gargoyles fight. It’s becoming more enjoyable as I level up and have switched main weapon to Great Scythe, though. Hoping I warm up to it more like I did with DS2 after the initial difficulty.

I’ve also been playing Fae Tactics. It’s surprisingly unique and satisfying with some combo mechanics and customizability. Definitely worth checking out if you like tactics style games.

Are you trying to redeem the freebie through the Epic Games launcher? I don’t remember ever having to complete a captcha that way.

I’m kind of confused about the whole early access thing and why devs do it. Is it to get support and funding to finish the project?

eezeebee, miesiąc temu

That makes sense and I hadn’t considered the feedback aspect. I can see how that must be helpful, especially for a solo developer. Thanks!

eezeebee, miesiąc temu

I’m dabbling in game development myself, and that’s part of why I asked the question originally- I’d be terrified to put something out there for the public if I wasn’t already confident it was ready. Early access seems like a double-edged sword. But you list some good points about the benefits of doing so.

By the way, I am interested to hear about your game project if you would like to share some details.

Super Mario 64 has to be my favourite (and is also the most recent one I’ve tried). When that came out it rocked my world, and I didn’t even have my own N64 at the time. I would play at friends’ houses or Toys R Us.

There was a Canadian TV show called Video and Arcade Top 10 and they would frequently give games away. I wrote to them explicitly requesting SM64, and a year later it just showed up in the mail.

Still got it! Agreed, the music is iconic. Nicholas Picholas was a great host too. I just looked him up and apparently he’s a radio host now.

I hated the Xbox controller when it first came out, probably because my child-sized hands couldn’t reach the buttons comfortably. So it was Playstation style for a long time.

Now as an adult I’ve switched over to the Xbox style (easier to plug and play for Steam gaming) and I like it a lot. It feels a lot more durable than any other controller I can remember using. Though I feel the size and weight of the controller makes it slightly more difficult to use the bumper and trigger buttons compared to PS controllers, it’s not a big deal because I’m not playing FPS these days.

Very worth it at that price. I thought the DLCs were great too. 180+ hours

Still playing Dark Souls 2 - almost 100 hours in and there’s just Darklurker and Aldia left. This game just keeps going and going, really well worth the cost. Since I’m almost through, I can see why it seems to be the black sheep of the series. But, despite some problems (like needing to refer to a guide constantly) I like it a lot, and will definitely do a NG+ eventually.

Also started Yooka-Laylee and I love it already. It’s very true to the Banjo Kazooie style.

To me it has a similar feel to some of the later Sonic games, but without the fear of falling off the level. I recommend checking out a how to play guide because it just jumps in without explaining.

Still playing Dark Souls 2.

I also started playing Grapple Dog for something casual/relaxing.

Dark Souls 2. I chose Sorcerer class and I’m getting my ass kicked regularly. Great fun though.

I loved A Hat in Time. I grew up in that golden age of platformers and Hat definitely stands up in quality to those.

Still playing Shining Force 2, almost at the end. I read somewhere that Peter is the real main character and kind of agree.

I also started playing Sonic Adventure 2 because it looked cool and was less than $2, and omg, it might be the worst game I’ve ever played. I looked it up and it apparently was rushed, had a small team, and was made during a turbulent time at Sega. But it’s just bad. The controls are garbage, camera is even worse and sometimes does not let you move it to see where you’re going. The dialogue is thrown together poorly so the characters are often talking over each other in cutscenes. It’s a shame too because I can see the wasted potential. At least the chill Knuckles levels are still fun to play, and the music is memorable. I really hope the “Dark” path is better than the “Hero” path.

The lazy answer for me is PS2, since that’s how I was able to play all the PS1/re-released games I missed out on. Pretty much all the Final Fantasy games, Chronl Trigger, Chrono Cross, Star Ocean… And then there was also FFX and Twisted Metal Black, some of the PS2 highlights for me.

I think SNES still has my heart though. I feel like most of the major titles were better (more perfected) than their N64 counterparts. The Legend of Zelda LttP absolutely consumed me growing up and is still my favourite game of all time. Many years later I find I’m still interested in games that look like they could have been released on SNES.

Everyone embraced smartphones and created a bigger market for games than there ever was before. Naturally when the mainstream latches onto something it becomes diluted and all about making a quick buck. Imo

This week I’ve gotten into Shining Force 2. I got a glimpse of it 20 years ago on a friend’s Dreamcast and finally get to dive in.

I have been absolutely itching to play Final Fantasy Tactics again, but it’s difficult to find. SF2 is scratching that itch nicely. Bonus that this cost less than $2 on Steam, and I’m able to fast-forward repetitive battle animations and longer dialogue.

I have a physical of FFT for PS1, but my PS2 always gives an “Unable to read” error for any disc, probably the laser?

Would love to be able to play it on PC with my controller. I am too clumsy to play on mobile very much. I think I need to look into RPCS3 some more.

I stumbled on some forums where people were saying the tree/water escape took them an hour. That took maybe 5 minutes of trying for me. My biggest opponent was just a regular wall and trying to wall jump up it for an hour. I love how different things are varying difficulty for people.

I’m about to start Witcher 3 for the first time on my next days off work. Picked it up on a really good sale a couple weeks ago, but have been too engrossed with Helldivers 2 lately to actually start playing it.

You are in for a massive adventure! I’m considering doing a New Game+ with a crossbow build, but need some time to unwind after nearly 200 hours on the first playthrough.

Voldo was great. Total nightmare fuel. I think there’s a strong cast of characters. Yoshimitsu was one of my favourites to play for the sword-pogo stick move.
