I played an earlier version of Baldur’s Gate 3 and encountered a bug where I couldn’t for the life of me figure out a way to progress without killing Karlach. I stopped playing that save-file, because I didn’t want to kill her. Now I’m going to revisit it after the big update from awhile back.

For local multiplayer, Rounds with mods. If you mod in new cards/powers and turn on endless rounds, the powers inevitably become game-breaking in unique and hilarious ways after 10-20 rounds of stacked card power-ups.

Skater XL + Mods

ivanafterall,
@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t tried it in awhile, but tried it a few times over the years and always preferred Skater XL (just felt more like Skate to me), but I need to see how Session has progressed.

One of my favorite Skater XL mods is the ability to go into slow-mo whenever you start a trick. Really cool/fun. Also really satisfying to make your own skateboards in the game.

ivanafterall,
@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

That’s the same feeling I had. Session just felt more incomplete/rough around the edges. To those points, Skater XL basically uses the Skate control scheme, which I find the right balance of skill-based/fun. I think the soundtrack is pretty great with the likes of Modest Mouse, Interpol, Band of Horses, etc. But also pretty limited. As for levels, the site I linked above also has 1,056 mod maps you can add, so that’s definitely not an issue.

The whole experience surrounding Tomb Raider nude codes was a pre-teen wake-up call to what the world was really like. That so many different people would just KNOWINGLY LIE!? About this, of all things!? Do you know the strength of the forces with with you so callously toy? So nothing is sacred then. And the world is cruel. Got it.

Also, everybody ignores dat ass.

Oiligarchy: Play as an Oil Oligarch that puts profit above all else, fund coups in other countries, assassinate protestors, and fund political parties to ensure they remain under your boot (www.crazygames.com)

Oiligarchy is a strategy game where you explore and drill around the world, corrupt politicians, stop alternative energies, and increase oil addiction. It’s all about the profits and not about the people and animals you may hurt along the way. Start drilling resources now!

Yep. My answer is “CSP/Content Manager” then “every other Assetto Corsa mod.” (Also worth noting Shutoko Revival Project.)

After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE (lemmy.world)

For context : have no idea how they found about it, but I love that they are illuminating indie games. And VICE.com has 12 million monthly readers. This is insane for me , because for a long time I was struggling for the game to be noticed. (If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam...

Congratulations! It’s been cool to see your posts/progress over time. Having thrown a couple of likes your way over that period, I do kind of feel I am ~90% responsible. If you ever get really famous, I will probably tell people, “I pretty much made that guy,” fyi.

ivanafterall,
@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it’s pretty okay and all, but the hype made it out to be cooler than it was, in my opinion. I’ve been playing Foundation the last day or two and I find it way more addictive, satisfying, and unique, so far. Maybe I just need to revisit Manor Lords. The trailers made the combat out to be Mount and Blade-esque, so I think that’s what really underwhelmed me. It felt more like Civilization-style “throw a bunch of units at the bad guy” combat.

My favorite from those times was Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. I’ll never forget the 2 v 2 Spies vs. Mercs. First time I experienced Proximity Chat. The spies could sneak up behind you and once they were near, they could whisper in your ear, so you’d get a lot of, “Hey, baby…” and other funny stuff before your neck was snapped. It was so much fun and I still wish for a replacement.

The update restored Papa Roach’s Blood Brothers? Holy shit, I love them. I had no idea this was a thing.

Random Screenshots of my Games #57 - Aperture Desk Job (lemmy.world)

I was actually in the middle of a Half-Life review (spoiler for my next post!) and I got a new Steam Deck in the mail, which thoroughly distracted me for the past few days. That, and I threw my back out, so sitting comfortably at my gaming PC has been impossible lately. Instead, I’ve been lying in bed, enjoying some of my...

Victoria 2 was the gateway that finally got me into Paradox Games. Most people seem to think it’s better than Victoria 3. It’s only $4.99 right now (75% off). Victoria is an economics/trade simulator with simulated populations/demand. So your goal is to try to make a lot of money on whatever resources you choose–lumber, cotton, etc, while also providing enough to meet the demand of your population/grow various populations.

After I played that, Crusader Kings 3 got its claws into me.

Victoria 2 is easy to recommend. However, it’s tough to recommend Crusader Kings 3 and other modern Paradox games with their shitty DLC model. I’ve frankly pirated it all.

You mean the company known for titles like Sega Bass Fishing and Virtua Cop? Whose company color is blue? Yeah, they’re not even subtle.

Jackbox Survey Scramble

Basically like Jackbox Family Feud. Was a really fun all-ages activity over the holidays.

Assetto Corsa (in VR). Civilization was mostly my ex-wife. eFootball PES is kind of a weird one, but it has really great mods that have now been spun off into a totally free singleplayer game called SP Football Life.

Not really into MMORPGs, but I’ve been trying The Finals and it’s pretty cool. Like the destruction of Battlefield mixed with the movement of Apex Legends and maybe a light touch of Rainbow Six: Siege or COD. Definitely worth the $0.

@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

Look at Hellish Quart on Steam, if you haven’t. Really cool and fun, like a spiritual successor to Bushido Blade based in Eastern Europe. Updated with impressive regularity.

ivanafterall,
@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

It looks so fresh and cool. It feels like a throwback to old, fun, dumb videogames of the past. Like this could totally be a Dreamcast 5 launch title.

Are there games with real collision detection?

All (action)games I know of don’t have real and proper surface collision detection, except some physics games. Just an example: If my Char hits something or someone the weapon goes straight through without any physical reaction, it just counts the damage I’ve done. Are there any games out there, in which physics are...

RDR 2 is about the most-detailed and physical-feeling combat system I know of (limb targeting, visible body damage and working guns, ragdoll-type physics, environmental interactions like falling off ledges/into deep mud or snow, etc…)

BeamNG is the most-impressive physics showcase that comes to mind off-hand. It’s really incredible.

I feel like I’m biased and it’s my answer for everything, but RDR2. No other game environment has come close, for me. Screenshot from one moody moment I captured:

Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone?

I need some suggestions on what to play. Single Player games only. Most of the games make me feel lonely and alone. In most of the games, the protagonist has to deal with the problems on their own, like Control, Crysis, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War (I liked the original 6 more than the new ones, even though the new ones had...

@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

Have you played RDR2? It’s open-world, the world is stunning (you can easily ignore the stories and just take in the nature), and the game revolves around your camp/gang, which you regularly return to and interact/check-in with, in addition to accompanying them on missions at times.

That haptic feedback on the PS5 controller is a rare feature that actually adds something to a controller. If there are third-party options with the haptics, I’d love to know about them, because they kind of spoil you once you get used to them.

If they realize they can sell individual jokers, etc…at $.99 a pop as DLC, the developer is about to be a billionaire and create so many new sick people in the world.
