Is there any love for BAR (Beyond All Reason-FOSS RTS) on Lemmy? angielski

I just finally got into this game and I’m completely shell shocked! I had seen it recommended before but ventured into other games without giving it a fair shake. As an avid RTS fan since Dune: The battle for Arrakis on Sega genesis, I’ve been slowly feeling more and more lackluster in the genres future prospects. I was a...

Nacktmull,

Spring engine based RTS games have been the best for a long time. I remember being similarly excited when I started playing Balanced Annihilation, which is the OG Spring based RTS, over ten years ago. BAR seems closely related to BA but has much more impressive looking graphics. Enjoy!

Nacktmull,

Slay the Spire. I could not get into it at all. Bought it because I love roguelites but this one is not for me.

Nacktmull,

I really liked Gwent in The Witcher 3, but oh well.

Don´t get me wrong, I don´t mean to gatekeep (I in fact play lites, not likes). However, a useful orientation when you want to know if a game is a like or not, is in my opinion the Berlin Interpretation

Nacktmull,

Addictive indeed! FTL is not just my favorite roguelite but maybe my favorite game of all times!

Nacktmull,

Likes are a pretty strictly defined genre. Lites on the other hand can be almost any genre. You could categorize both as “Run based games” but that leaves you with a very vague definition that says almost nothing about a game except that it´s … run based.

Nacktmull,

Yes I played it, the amount of content is impressive. However I only went deep enough to kill the standard Flagship a few times (on hard difficulty, which felt easier compared to AE) and did not find any of the secret endings.

Nacktmull,

Gwent, in The Witcher 3!

Nacktmull,

I don´t care much for the standalone pc game, since it is very different from Witcher 3 Gwent. However, check this out: imgur.com/a/qktqY :D

Nacktmull,

Oh no, it´s not a twin stick shooter this time?!

Did you play Larian´s https://store.steampowered.com/app/435150/Divinity_Original_Sin_2__Definitive_Edition/ yet? It might ease your pain a lot and it´s on -70% right now.

Nacktmull,

Good for you! Dead Cells is one of the best games ever made if you ask me.

Nacktmull,

Me too!

Nacktmull,

Unsorted, quick and probably incomplete list of my personal favourites:

Nacktmull,

In your comment? ;)

Nacktmull,

Keep in mind, that whenever the Yamato Cannon is fired, all players simultaneously have to shout “YAMATOOO” :D

Nacktmull,

I remeber buying DoWII + Retribution just so I could play The Last Stand with my online friends. Great fun! I very much recommend it, even more than the actual game :)

Nacktmull,

The Last Stand is the best DLC imo :)

Nacktmull,

It´s only fun with people on teamspeak imo. If you play alone the base game is more fun.

Nacktmull, (edited )

Dead Cells with all the DLCs. After being obsessed with Nova Drift for several months I got burnout and looked for other games to play.

Mafia definitive edition was on sale, so I got that. However, it quickly showed that in fact I don´t enjoy 3D shooters as I used to.

So I thought about what I really wanted to play and it was clearly roguelites with retro or at least highly stylized graphics. The DLCs for Dead Cells had been tempting me for some time already and most of them were on sale at that point, so it was pretty much a no-brainer. I erased my progress from years ago and started over fresh and it´s so much fun!

My best run yet was when I found the Hotline Miami reference lore room, which unlocks and drops the (level I) baseball bat. Now the Baseball bat does not have particularly high base damage but very good crit damage and guaranteed crits on stunned/rooted targets. That is already really cool when you combine it with stunning enemies by stomping but I was sure I´d have to replace that weapon later in the run because it was just a level I item. A few levels later I stumbled over a golden altar with a legendary Boys Axe. This item is a throwing axe that roots enemies on hit and as I told earlier you get auto-crit hits on rooted targets with the baseball bat, so obviously I ditched my rampart shield for the Boys Axe and from there on a virtually all my baseball bat hits were crit hits. But it got even better!

Shortly afterwards I found a sinew slicer, which is a trap that causes bleed on hit and then I got incredibly lucky and was able to roll +60% damage on bleeding targets on BOTH, the baseball bat AND the Boys Axe! Obviously from there I just breezed through the rest of the run and killed the Hand of the King in just a few seconds with a level I baseball bat as my main weapon :D

On top of all that, during the run I was also able to figure out how to use certain weapons like they were one, as it had been possible years ago but was patched out. This also added to making the build ridiculously strong since I could spam the baseball bat and the Boys Axe like they where just a combo of the same weapon.

TLDR: Dead Cells is crazy! If you enjoy roguelites, get Dead Cells!

Nacktmull,

I just got dead cells because I was in a gaming rut. I got one run in. It’s fun

It is indeed! Especially when you get lucky on a run and find/roll some crazy strong synergies. The game has a pretty steep learning curve at first, just keep doing runs and it will get even more fun. I also very much recommend the official Dead Cells Discord, it has some really nice and helpful people hanging out there.

Do you play with controller?

I do so and very much recommend you at least try playing it with a controller too, except you have a strong habit of playing games of the genre with a keyboard. In my opinion using a controller is more intuitive.

Nacktmull,

Just did 2 runs with it and died both times in the second map. Just getting used to it.

That is to be expected, I recommend to focus on learning the enemies and building some muscle memory for the roll and the parry mechanics at first.

With m&k on my very first run playing the game I got past the first boss and died with like 8k gold.

Seriously? I find that pretty impressive for a first run. I think I died in Prisoners Quarters (first biome) on mine :D

I’m looking forward to the steep learning. I beat hades 100% so I’m looking forward to synergies.

Seriously? You mean with all those difficulty modifiers activated, right? I have a feeling you will get good at Dead Cells pretty fast, lol.

Nacktmull, (edited )

I’m embarrassed to say I’ve died in the first encounter so many times from that stupid shield zombie and jumping one. I can’t get the parry right. They do this stupid grunt then I parry then they jump. And if I wait for the “!” they do this weird timing if I hit them. Still getting used to it.

Hahaha, the shield bearer is such a bitch when one is still learning the timing, right? However he is also a perfect enemy to initially practice your parry and roll with imo, at some point you will start to intuitively time it right and the shield bearer becomes almost harmless. I recommend using the training room for that.

Probably you already noticed that the “!” is only an indicator for the begin of the attack animation and that you have to factor in the distance between you and the enemy too, to time the parry right. Also keep in mind that only a tap results in a parry, while keeping the button pressed even for very short results just in a block / messed up parry.

But I got rickety wrekt by death in the castle map. I thought I was doing so effing good, got him down to phase 2 (about 1/3 health down) and with 1.4k health he killed me in a 3 hit combo, first hit taking half my life down and I got so blown away that I just missed wtf happened next. Game is very unforgiving.

How are you distributing your scrolls? You should decide at the start of a run if it is going to be a Brutality, Tactics or Survival run, based on what kind of weapons you want to use during the run. That defines your main colour and your two off colours for the run. The best practice is to take a scroll of your main colour whenever you can for max damage and distribute the two off colours 1:1 for max hp.

Game is very unforgiving.

Yes, indeed!

I haven’t tried any of the enhancements or crutches. Which I’m a father of 3 kids, one a new born and I’m not good like I used to be. I might check out some cheats to make things a little smoother for me.

Congratulations! In that situation I think I would experiment with custom mode a lot, it has many detailed options to tailor the game experience individually. I for example like to use custom mode to limit the item pool, once I have a lot of items unlocked that I don´t want to use on a run. If you find that you miss certain option in custom mode you should also check out accessibility mode as well.

Good luck, have fun!

Nacktmull,

I could not care less. They seem to focus primarily on improving the graphics with every part of the series, while imo gameplay is much more important than graphics. Also, for the ridiculous price of one AAA title, one can buy a whole bunch of great indie games.

Nacktmull,

I love my indie games with pixel art, retro graphics, they always run perfectly on my potato <3

Nacktmull,

Enjoy!

Nacktmull,

I regularly find games based on WHFB to be really cool. AoS on the other hand never interested me.

Nacktmull,

Yes, I love TWWH exactly for that, hate that the game is split into so many DLCs though.

Nacktmull,

There´s a new game?

Nacktmull,

Interesting, thank you!

Nacktmull, (edited )

F*** big gaming and their microtransaction/subscription/pay to win bull****! Indie and retro games are way better than overpriced AAA titles at his point anyway.

Nacktmull,

Did it never occur to you that this might not be just coincidence?

Nacktmull,

Apologies, I obviously misunderstood your first comment.

Nacktmull,

True but whole payment model sucks in general.

Because hexagonal screw drives are superior, they can transfer more torque and last longer. What I don´t get is why slotted, cruciform and square screw drives are even still around when there are much more reliable alternatives to choose from, like Hex and Torx for example.

So I will finally be able to court my beloved Shani, instead of a toxic af sorceress?!

NERDGASM!!!

Nacktmull,

Tomira? I see you´re are man of culture as well!

Nacktmull,

Go have relationships with both, Yen and Triss on your next playthrough to see the answer to that question :D

GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour (www.forbes.com) angielski

While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

Nacktmull,

Well, fuck them, at this point indie games are often better than AAA titles anyway.

Nacktmull,

I once spent a 2 week holiday playing an R-Type and Metal Slug game-athon using MAME.

10/10 would emulate again.

Nacktmull,

and don´t forget Neo Geo!

Nacktmull,

Now I feel like playing through the campaign once agin :)
