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.
Looking for basically any game where the focus is less on the fighting itself but the upgrades to do it. Even better if all of the upgrades just keep stacking....
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.
Would I fuck myself over by putting it on a partition on the same drive as my Windows install? It’s my fastest hard drive, but I can’t just immediately give up everything I have on Windows.
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.
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 1,056mod 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
There are a lot of reasons that this makes sense for them. But also, given the other things they’ve been promising, I think this is going to be an expensive piece of hardware that basically just hides Windows under the hood.
Happy new year guys!😀 Just now, it hit midnight here, and it’s officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it’s the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I’m curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?
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.
I’m back for my annual month on FFXIV, but I honestly admit I’m growing a bit tired of the gameplay loop, the “omg you’re the main hero !!” story and the sometimes very weird community. I love the world setting though, so I usually stick around anyway....
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.
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.
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.
October is over, and that means I’m back to playing all variety of games, not just horror or Halloween-themed games. But I did miss one day in my daily October marathon, and I said I’d try to make up for it....
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:
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...
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.
As a long-time Stardew Valley fan, I never thought I’d find a game that could capture my heart quite the same way. Fields of Mistria has done just that. I’m honestly blown away by how good this game is...
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.
