GrayBackgroundMusic, w It's out now! The prologue for my solo project, a roguelike tower defense, is live. Check it out.

You should mention that it’s free.

Thank you! I overestimated the popularity of the term "prologue".

Rpmkp, w Were all playing Fallout games again. Does the franchise have a "starting the game" problem?

@Melkath imo the biggest problem with Bethesda games is the amount of time you have to spend in menu due to the equipment stat spreads, “junk” collection/economy, and character management. I’d be much happier with an “unlock” system for weapons and armor where you could pick up equipment and unlock it rather than add to inventory. Then have the game economy be around quest rewards rather than junk hauling to sell. Have consumables follow the Witcher pattern of charges until resting. This would massively reduce inventory time and make the games way more playable.

Not just you. I don’t remember which Fallout game I got, but it probably wasn’t the first, and I got to like the second objective where I’m supposed to help some settlement restart their power generator by finding some part, and I realized I was too bored to continue. It was like I could see the entire game stretched ahead of me as more of the same.

Not all games are for all players, so I never thought “Fallout sux”; it just wasn’t my bag. I think the Fallouts are micro-farming long-winded objectives for really small benefits; I guess a lot of people like that, but it’s not for me.

essell, w Were all playing Fallout games again. Does the franchise have a "starting the game" problem?

Having played them all a lot, I still feel the urge to go back every year or two.

What gets me over that hurdle I think you’re describing is there’s a goal I want to reach. A different way to do a quest, a DLC I’ve not played in a long time, a character build to try.

Given that the games are so open ended coming up with a reason why you’re playing of your own matters.

For me, the mods keep the game from becoming too punishing. FNV needs a lot of mods to keep the bugs and the invisible walls from killing your game. FO3 and FO4 need quest fixes and additional quest mods to keep them interesting.

Melkath,

Once I get into the game, I love the mechanics.

It just feels like each game has its own "youre gonna suffer for a very long time, then you will get to good part of the game" energy. And god forbid you put the game down before you reach the end, because you will never get to the end again.

It's more of an indictment on my attention span than the game, but fuck man.

Son_of_dad,

I recently played fo4 with mods and over did it. I’m running around in power armor with infinite energy, with a crazy railgun, mowing down everything that moves. It got old fast. I’ll have to go back in with different mods that are more fun.

0xtero, w Were all playing Fallout games again. Does the franchise have a "starting the game" problem?

This sounds like average Bethesda experience. I always get hyped by their pre-releases, but I find the actual games to be tedious and boring slogs.

I know it’s down to personal taste, but I think I enjoy a bit more rail-roading and bit less sandbox. Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are “just right” for me, the story is tight. Bethesda games a bit loosey-goosey (ha!) with their storytelling.

Melkath,

Cyberpunk had a sweet spot for me.

I am 0 for 2 on getting into Witcher games.

I'm 0 for 6. Tried each one vanilla and modded. Couldn't do it but I really wanted to lol.

Fallout and Fallout 2 have a “putting down the game” problem for me.

Two does have a slightly annoying beginning, but I forgive it. The original two games have such good writing the graphics don’t matter.

helenslunch, w Yes, the Steam Deck OLED is susceptible to burn-in if you really try, but it also really doesn't matter
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Thousands of hours on high brightness with a static image and it will start to retain elements of the image.

The torture test is important but what ya boi needs to do now is to create a more realistic test. Using static elements for maybe 6 hours at a time every day. That’s still “torture” as most users are probably not playing the same game for that long, but still within the realm of possibility.

That's kinda useless. You might as well just wait for the user reports at that point.

These unrealistic torture tests accelerate the potential burn-in, and it's still useful to gauge how long it could really take.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

But this also accelerates the potential wear, just at a much more realistic rate.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@kbin.social avatar

You'll definitely have users gaming on the thing for 8+ hours every day, so I don't see much value in that. Like I said, you might as well just wait for users to report their experiences.

Yes, that’s exactly my point. Definitely some but not many.

Like I said, you might as well just wait for users to report their experiences.

Report them to whom, exactly? Not everyone is going to hop onto the internet to publicly report their issues. How are you going to account for the conditions? What if there’s nothing to report?

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@kbin.social avatar

Not everyone is going to hop onto the internet to publicly report their issues.

But enough people are. People are talking about every small thing they did, what happened, whatever.

Also, with all the different plugins or stats available on this thing to track everything, you can probably create a pretty detailed breakdown of what someone did with their Steam Deck.

qooqie, w Vampire Survival Game V Rising Launches Into 1.0 This May Before It Hits PS5 Later This Year

Is it still permanently online? The main reason I never bought it was I couldn’t play offline

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Are you sure you're thinking of the right game? This game lists LAN play on its features and allows you to host private servers. It's been on my radar for precisely those reasons.

WanderingPoltergeist,
@WanderingPoltergeist@kbin.social avatar

Currently, the only way you can play V Rising Offline is by putting the Steam Client in Offline mode.

sleepybisexual, w What retro games should everyone play?

The gameboy Kirby games are nice. Played them on my retroleap device

Chozo, w Get in there, Helldivers 2's mechs are officially confirmed to be on the way "soon"

The mechs are cool, but I've got a feeling that their use case will be very situational. I'm more excited for the other vehicles that we should also be getting soon.

WanderingPoltergeist, w Warner Bros. focusing on mobile and free-to-play instead of "volatile" AAA console games
@WanderingPoltergeist@kbin.social avatar

sigh Well, it shows they learned absolutely nothing about their misstep with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game. J.B. Perrette and the executives meddled with this game and soiled it due to their rampant greed; if only they'd left the developers who were passionate about this project just work their magic. There are so many games in the mobile and free-to-play markets it's not likely any of WB's trash will get much traction there either.
