It should have been a SP game, not this weird pseudo MMO thing.

Day 336 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today’s game is FBC: Firebreak. I usually avoid buying games Day 1, but i watched the Gameplay trailers and was honestly really excited. I bought a copy for me and a friend, and i had my brother drop in for player 3. Honestly really enjoyed it. A lot of people have been saying that it has a lack of Tutorials, and yeah, i get...

It seems that the main problem is that it is basically a $15 DLC sold as $40 game.

As a big fan of space sims and action RPGs, I wrote that game off when looking at reviews and how the spaceship building system and space travel were.

It’s like they choose the worst of Elite Dangerous and mixed it with the worst parts of previous Bethesda RPGs.

@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Is that the Space Extraction shooter that looks like Overwatch? or another one?

Edit : That looks nice, way more like Elite Dangerous, and PvE only!

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

No, it’s a TPS Action RPG, like Mass Effect.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Be careful what you wish for, they could start making Vampire Survivor likes!

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Can’t you use that money to see a therapist now?

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

They don’t care, same reason they still use casting and resin and don’t move to 3D printing.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Oh yes, once I figured out what Etetnal wanted me to do, I enjoyed it way better, and managed to beat it and the DLC on Ultra Violence very recently!

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

He failed so bad he didn’t even get a new job since then.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Well Wolfenstein: The New Order is the other classic to do just that!

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

On top of what was recommended here, Total War: Warhammer 3 is pretty much back since the updates done in 2024!

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Add Warno too, it’s SD2 but in 1989.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Yes, but I do prefer the very accurate division system for Warno, and the absence of contemporary “prototype” units like the rafale.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

For anime moe games ? Yes, that is par of the course. Gachapon games are cheaper than therapy I guess.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Should’ve upgraded the CPU too!

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

The PS5 pro GPU is equivalent to a Radeon 7800XT with slightly better ray tracing cores, the CPU to a Ryzen 7 3700X with limited power.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

If anything it’s more true for former KSP 2 dev Uber Entertainment.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Ah, good old left wing groups self destroying and splitting up to irrelevance…

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Should we tell them about the Pathfinder thing?

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

RTS with pause. Turn based games always to be so goddamned slow…

I do wish more games would do the BSG game’s real time with planning turns thing.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

It’s not worth 60€ anyways in it’s current state.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Well yes, it always was multi-player co-op horde shooter?

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

It’s too expensive anyways.

Its going to be a great buy in a year at like 30€ with the pass included.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Sins 2 despite unfinished is already pretty good, and a true successor to Sins 1.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Thanks for the fair review! It seems it’ll be a good buy in 1 year then, if they don’t close down the studio until then.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Sins of a Solar Empire 2 is likely to fill it this summer.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

At least you can already try it, it’s on EA on Epic store, and from what I saw trough streams, it’s already a worthy successor despite not being complete.

It’s the same game fundamentally, but improved and properly modernized in everyway.

There’s a replay in Twitch from yesterday here if you want to check : www.twitch.tv/videos/2148190491

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Well another studio took over from Intercept Games to work on KSP 2 a while ago, right? Star Theory, iirc.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Oh yes, I forgot it went that way…

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

The already did a remake in 2012, it was not liked.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Not really, it opens and scans the PC when you launch the game and then closes itself once you quit the game.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Yeah, I had to put it down since last Sunday, as server keep being full after 20:00 each evening since then.

Do you find open source games interesting/good thing as a gamer?

@games I am a game developer working on game called Mushy Score. I decided that my niche would be to create open source games. I think these could be helpful for developers or teachers to teach about games and how they are made. Most open source games are small game jam games, but there are few “real games” that are open source like 0 A.D. and Doom. As a non-developer do you think open source games could be good thing?

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

You have Beyond All Reason which has both an active development cycle and player base, because it’s basically the best classic RTS available in years.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Good. The new studio can now buy the IP, right?

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

This studio must have pissed off someone very powerful to be targeted and dismantled like this.

Did the old guys even got to start a new studio and a spiritual successor?

Elden Ring is getting a free-to-play mobile version with in-app purchases (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Action-RPG colossus Elden Ring is reportedly getting a free-to-play mobile adaptation with in-app purchases, which takes inspiration from miHoYo’s Genshin Impact. It’s being published by Tencent, who apparently acquired the licensing rights to Elden Ring back in 2022 and put a few dozen people to work on a prototype, even as...

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

But we already got 2 good CRPG in this setting?

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Same for me, really enjoyable 150 hours, but now with the slow updates I just already seen everything.

I moved to Darktide, despite its flaw I’m still playing it after the same amount of hours since then.

What are some alternative to soulless videogame franchises?

What I mean is… sometimes people are very loyal to a videogame franchise or a company because they loved a game they released years ago (Silent Hill/Konami with Silent Hill 2, Blizzard/Bethesda with their respective golden eras, some could argue this happens too with Pokémon and Final Fantasy, etc). Ethical/consumer reasons...

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Beyond All Reason is by far the best current Traditional TA like RTS and it does this being free and open source too!

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Not many alternatives, other than playing older titles with overhaul mods like Divide e Impera

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

That’s still a fairly beefy GPU though.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

For finished solo games you also have X4 foundations and Everspace 2!

Mechwarrior 5? Depending on where I end up, I could be fine or screwed…
