There are already some huge maps out there, Just Cause 2 and 3 both have maps at around 1000km^2^, and those games are beloved by their players. But if the next Cyberpunk game was announced with Night City now being the size of an actual large metropolis, say like New York, would you say that’s too big? What determines what...
Gamesir hasn’t done wrong by me yet. I can recommend the x5 lite over what you posted for size factor alone. I got a little case for it on the cheap and it can fit in sweatpants pockets (though not jeans). I think the bluetooth x2 comes with an even smaller case for free, though i prefer the usbc connection for pass through charging.
I’m about to start EX mode in Void Stranger. The method to unlock it and the tail puzzle are the only two solutions I’ve just looked up for this game because holy shit do I not have the time for that lol.
Good game, with the exception of those two puzzles specifically
The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an "easy button", it's hard to not use it. It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process....
sometimes you just wanna know what to splice to finish your gardening collection instead of brute forcing every single combination of the 40+ plants that exist until you learn that grapes and oats grafted together make elderberries or something weird like that.
Warframe is an unconventional mmo, and there’s actually a bit of rpg in there too, moreso than I would’ve expected coming in. It’s great fun though.
I will say the mandatory trading for weapon and frame slots is kinda annoying, but gets less annoying as you progress and get more access to better grinds.
No, but also I don’t find the distinction all that critical. Watching an LP of the original NieR and the Drakengard games is an objectively better way to experience those games.
true on the only good mobile games not being mobile games, though you’re wrong about the number being small. Emulation means that entire console libraries are available. I’ve been plinking away at the SNES library for the past couple of years on my phone and am still spoiled for choice.
It’s Steam sale and I’m looking for chill farming/building games that do not look like Anime. The setting is secondary, because I’ve no idea what’s out there. Can be in space, historical, fantasy, anything really and I’ll have a look. I just don’t like Anime style and forced cuteness....
With the oddysey expac coming out soon, Rimworld at the easiest settings & Phoebe storyteller mode might just fit the bill. I low key kinda love growing crops and sending the elephants off to sell them. You could make a whole colony around growing stuff and ranching, and then using the upcoming travel overhaul to distribute your goods and upgrade your base & ship to reach further and sell more.
honest question. What’s stopping mainstream gamers from just playing the best codblops for the rest of their lives? Is there really any draw to these newer releases every time?
I still like warframe, even though it has a few headaches in there that make it more annoying than it needs to be. I don’t want to trade my ducat fodder or passive rep for slots and potatoes every time a new update comes out. But I do like dressing up my space dolls and blasting my trumna for hours on end
I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon. It gives me this nostalgia feeling of where I first ran oblivion on PC on my Dell E310 with a Pentium 4 single core and GeForce 6200LE I pencil modded. I’m having to run out at 720p and 4x...
A lot of the appeal of Bethesda Games is the almost meditative process of getting your 200 GB of mods running without crashing immediately, so I don’t even bat an eye at the claim that you like futzing with its settings.
There are real video games for phones now, and I’m pretty sure emulation is up to at least on the gamecube era. Slap a controller on it and a phone is pretty much just a hyper-powered gameboy advance.
Given the swathes of posts about bad behavior from big companies, I figure we could counterbalance that with some positivity about stuff the smaller guys made that often costs us less too.
Pyre is my all time favorite, it’s the only game i’ve ever platinumed and still kept playing to see a few more permutations. But by terms of sheer hours put in? Rimworld.
For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?
