Has anyone played these two games? Which one would you pick?https://store.steampowered.com/app/3011060/Iron_Village/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2828490/High_Seas_High_Profits/I know they are cheap as fuck, but I feel bad when I buy games that I don't play and they haunt me on my Steam library forever.
>>520392896>Tbh on the other hand nothing but the original soundtrack will probably do it justice.This. It's a losing battle no matter how you slice it, because OFF lives and dies by its music. The remaster really should've been cancelled once they couldn't get ACC to sign on, the only redeeming quality is if they come up with an actually fun combat loop replacement (unlikely, will probably stay the same generic RPGMaker atbslop, just with """balanced""" stats).

Now that Ubisoft is going to shit I decided to pirate and play some older ubisoft games when they were still good. I'm playing Far Cry 3 and having some fun with it so far. I know it's not "Indie" but I'm saying this as the "Misc. Games" part.
>>520405168Okay faggot.
>>520405168>Now that Ubisoft is going to shit>now
>>520405790I mean it's been going to shit for a while now, but this and the previous year are the real killing blow I think
i've played about 12 hours of Underspace and i don't think i'm gonna touch it again until it's finished
>>520405168>>520405990Kek, Ubisoft has been going to shit at since like Far Cry 4 or something if you want to be charitable. What do you mean buy "the real killing blow"?
>>520407525?
>>520408139Star Wars Outlaws and AC Shadows are the real killing blow and I agree with Far Cry 4 being the moment where they started going really downhill.
>>520408532You didn't even play these...
Funny that shortly after I discover Dustland Deliveries it gets a new DLC.I guess I'll start from zero.>>520404179Demos are restricted in content and mechanics(specially the High Seas one, there's a ton stuff that say "I will add this I promise). I also want to hear the opinion of seasoned anons.
Any indie soulslike that's actually like a Fromsoftware game that's good and isn't 2D/pixelshit? So far I've only heard of The Surge and Mortal Shell.
>>520407525It needs voice acting and optimization but that's about all it needs for me.
>>520410075Necropolis.Betrayer.Bound by Flame.Bloodborne.Oblitus.Spaceranger.Killer is Dead.Bollocks : the Lie.
>>520408532How is Shadows any worse than the previous entries?
>>520410634Because the youtubers I follow said so, duh
>>520410634Because the internet said so.
>>520410634I'm going to need to read a few Grummz tweets to know how to respond
>>520408390all the content is basically there so you lose nothing by waiting
>>520410601>killer is dead>bloodborne>indieStretching it there anon but I'll look at the others.
>>520410075another crab's treasure is alright, though it's just a soulslike and not so much like the fromsoft games
>>520411464Check out the last one and you'll understand.
>time to switch to my digging wand>hmm that energy orb looks weird>oh wait that's the wand with 30 holy bombs I just picked up so enemies wouldnt use it
>>520411665I have that one actually. Fuck I forgot all about it
>>520411457>all the content is basically thereNo player housing and no multiplayer yet.
>>520410634It doesn't matter how good it is, it's just not doing good to save Ubisoft from its financial troubles.
redpill me on anothers crabs treasure, sisters. fromslurpers keep saying its shit but i hear otherwise
Oh.
I will kill him, and eat him.
>>520412042Frankly, I'm appalled you didn't instantly start blasting these.
FIGHT
>>520410075Mortal shell is the opposite of a FromSoft. It's only on the surface with graphics and the most basic mechanics.You don't have character builds besides pre-selected ones you "fill out." That's your "shell"- you are a spirit inhabiting a dead hero. You have to find them first, as well, and they're all hyper specific builds and you only unlock sidegrades, half of which aren't unique to one shell. There are no stats to buff.Swapping weapons in the field takes a consumable item you have to pay for from vendors.The item system is kind of neat- you have to use them multiple times to unlock their potential and discover lore about them.The healing is counter-intuitive. you get an object that lets you counter attack. You have to land this counter-attack while it's charged, with "resolve" (mana), to heal. Resolve drains when you are hit, you start out with zero unless you use a shell that has the skill unlocked (there's only one of these). Meaning if you die, you have to build your resolve back up, and if you get hit, you lose healing charges. If you try and miss the parry, you lose the resolve from getting hit. Imagine starting with zero flasks on each run, they only refill by dealing damage, they break when you get hurt, and they only work if you land a parry. Some enemies, you can't parry.Consumable healing items that drop in the game drain your resolve past what resolve restorers do. Items that increase your resolve drain your health past what the healing items do. You can buy neither; they are random drops.There's little to no fast travel. Checkpoints are at area openings, which is where you can respawn, but they set your teleport point there so you can't fast travel back to the hub. You have to walk the zone back. If I remember properly it also takes consumables.Skills, which are attached only to weapons, require a part for that weapon to be located and installed at the main hub. this takes varying amounts of resolve to activate as well.
>>520418307i didnt have explosion immunity, the reason i didnt die was extra life
>>520418991>they only work if you land a parry. Some enemies, you can't parry.Yes, fuck this.
>>520416109I'm not sure about Miyazaki's cum garglers think about it, but from what I heard it and seen on streams back when it released it did look like a solid game, but still a B tier soulslike just like a fair share of others from its "genre". My point is "Yeah, I'm hearing the same as you", which is not much, but a different person hearing the same stuff nonetheless, for whatever that may be worth to you.
>>520418991oh, and swapping weapons requires the specific item for the specific weapon, each one is a different consumable you have to buy separately.The only cool thing is to get a weapon, you have to fight an NPC using it, so you have to learn the weapon's combo's by facing it.
>>520418991>There's little to no fast travel. Checkpoints are at area openings, which is where you can respawn, but they set your teleport point there so you can't fast travel back to the hub. You have to walk the zone back. If I remember properly it also takes consumables.Damn anon good write up. However, that part instantly bugged me. Is this going to be an issue later on because one of the the few things I genuinely hate is wasting time aka backtracking.
>>520410075
>>520419451I keep remember awful shit.The bonfires don't restore HP or resolve when you activate them. They're just respawn markers.Resolve isn't a flat bar. It builds in sections, of which different shells have different amounts of. If you don't fill up a section, it drains to the last section you filled. If you didn't fill one, it just drains completely. If you get hit, it will knock off points off a section you did fill, and start draining that one. If you want a healing charge, you have to speed-run the area without getting hit, making the healing charge pointless.
>>520405168>some older ubisoft games>Far Cry 3 (2012)I feel so fucking old, bros>>520410075The answer is highly dependent on what you look for in a soulslike (level design, combat, build variety, multiplayer, etc), but AI Limit is very good, and outside the indie space Lies of P is great.>>520416109They don't like that it has easy mode, because how someone else plays a single-player game will surely affect your enjoyment of it
>>520410634Bad characters and a story everyone hates.The gameplay itself is likely average, not horrible. But ubisoft can't afford average right now, they're a couple billion dollars too far in debt to be sabotaging their games for the sake of unpopular politics.The game underperformed by a couple orders of magnitude compared to what ubisoft expected and needed.
>>520413319Anon, no (plausible) amount of sales would have saved Ubisoft in its current formIt did good enough to allow for the new deal with Tencent to take form and not panic-sell its IPs to the highest bidder, which is already a win considering the situation.
>>520419403>>520425412while im sure theres some subpar soulslikes out there, its just funny to me that another crabs is one of the better ones like nioh and lies of p but they shit on it because its more entry level
>>520420609>>520419451>>520418991Mortal shell was a genuinely bad game that looked very pretty, the best part of the game were the lute tracks. The environments were fantastic but god did actually playing the game suck.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbRTu326x8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9oR8CsPD0U
>>520427829I think it is because it isn't edgy enough.
>>520427938>Mortal shell was a genuinely bad game that looked very prettyIs that why they keep giving that fucking game out? And here I bought for GOG years ago like a tard.
>running around smashing pots and faces>no clue how to get past here>running at it or hitting it does nothing>must have missed something, but not sure where>restart the game and start taking notes, noting the cause and effect of things>still no dice>cave and look up a letsplay>find out it's just a fucking door. I had to smear my face against it LONGERThis is what I get for not buying the steam version, and for being retarded.
>>520428007which is sad because the story is depressing
>>520428414Yes. Games generally have to fuck up massively to not get at least a "positive" review score on steam.But it does also have some surprisingly sexy ladies that try to kill you.
>>520428846>which is sad because the story is depressingI haven't played it(I dislike soulslike).What's the story about to be depressing? Isn't it a crabby kanny searching for his shell?
>>520429809it is, but it also has many of the hallmarks of a fromsoft soulslike story
>>520431020yep, exactly. fromslurpers are just retarded as always
been playing Wizard of Legend. Got it for free so decided to try it.partially soulslike stuff. Really dumb execution on some things though. Everything can cause a flinch, your dodge doesn't necessarily have I-frames (there's different dodges, they're all spells), so the most dangerous enemies in the game are horde-types of 4-5 that get out of attack sequence. You get flinchlocked to death by weak ass little shits, so it degrades into kiting and who hits first. Especially bad with the wind archers, they multi-hit and lock you down for everyone else to beat on. You can't get spells you want because they're gated behind "pools," you have to purchase at least half of the combined other unlocked pools just to have a chance they drop at the shop. Dodges come with extra effects, but those effects have stacks, and you can't control those, and there's a bunch of pits everywhere you have to dash over so you just kind of blow the charge and rush headlong into fights without it. Really weird decisions all around.>>520431445pic related
Gonna restart Dustland Deliveries with the new DLC map.It is probably going to be very hard.
It seems that this DLC map has a "main quest".>wake up in a vehicle crash wounded>have amnesia >find some confusing stuff>find 2 children, a boy and a girl>the dlc forces you to play in Hero mode with a main character>the main character is an old man>an old man taking care of two children in the wastelandKinda kino. But in these kinda stories the old man ends up dying saving the kids.

>>520439480What's hero mode?
Does anyone actually need these?
>>520444737A mode in which besides your truck being destroyed, if your character dies you loose.Also I think you can't leave him in one of your cities, you have to have him on your truck at all times. But I haven't tested it yet.
>>520447993Yeah, people with epilepsy.
Wow this pinball game is shit.>>520449237Have you asked them? I think this is just another one of those warnings that caught on to look good.
>>520449489Anon, hundreds of people were hospitalized due to that episode.
>>520449489>global best 2.1 billionThat looks like an integer limit. I smell shenanigans.
I just can't get into Sunless Skies.It feels so very casualized compared to Sea.
>>520434680Don't worry about wizard of legend, you unlock (more or less mandatory) QOL items and capes that makes 1-shot impossible. Apparently getting stunlocked to death is an intentional design mechanic because the game was too easy during testing. Later enemies will always stunlock you to death from full health no matter what. The only way around it is pure dodge builds.
>Play a game with a general on here>Ask a question>Nobody replies>All the posts are horny posting/vg/ was a mistake. This is one of the only good threads.
>>520453723You're playing a weeaboo game and somehow expect anons to care about the game? Rookie mistake. Bonus rookie points if it's an old dead franchise where people have already exhausted all talking points.
>>520454214It's warframe so sorta weeaboo but the horny post was about rebecca, one of the devs.
>>520454421Oh, I've seen some of that hornyposting on /v/. At least on this specific case I'll give it to them, as that woman seems like a real degenerate cock-hungry cougar and she is a real woman instead of some silly cartoon. You picked the wrong grind game, should've went with Path of Exile as people talk about the game there.

>>520451842well that's a shame. I knew it was intentional, you could tell by the bosses having shielding and the stun rotation you have to put them in, and it's hard to miss. But once it whiplashed the screen on the fire bosses dive kick I knew there were some things they just went "IDGAF" and left it in despite how screwy it was. Sure, it's not pulling a hotline miami 2, but it's even more disorienting.
>>520434680accccurate desuuu
>>520464102I remember when some guy was raging in a chat about the surge 2, fighting 2 miniboss style things in a hallway. Kept calling it bullshit, unfair, etc. Asked if they'd beaten Ornstein and Smough. When they said yes, went on to ask "So why are two rando enemies following similar mechanics in a non-soulsborne game such a problem?" rage'd them into beating it. after another half hour of trying. The fanboyism isn't even conscious, but it runs deep.
>>520456136Why would anyone want Sunless game without Kennedy? They made a god dawn Visual Novel about it and it seems next to no one has played it.

>>520410323My problems are: 80% of the stations are straight up empty except for the ones related to the main quest, sometimes when i close the trader menu on stations i get stuck with no way to move the mouse and i have to open another menu to get control again, sometimes there are invisible walls in the stations that stop me from walking around, i can track only one mission at time so to plan the shortest route for 3 missions i have to constantly switch between the map and the mission menu, when i take certain type of missions i can't check from the mission board where they take place in specific and also can't check the map at the same time (if i close the board and check the map the mission reshuffles), every time i enter a leyline with high engines i exit them at low speed which forces me to immediately double tap AGAIN to speed up, even after changing the setting for text speed i have barely enough time to read some of the more wordy cutscenes dialogues, stations use ambient music shared with the "space exploration" part of the game instead of having their own music folder.To name a few.
>>520450405>looks like an integer limitFun fact: if you amass 2^31 gold in Noita, it turns infinite.More games should turn data format limits into features.

Why do I have 5 hearts and increased movespeed? This is all I have.
>>520497413when you beat a boss without getting it, you can a bullet cassing which grants you an additional health. Since you beat the second boss without geting hit you have the bullet with II marked on it. You also have an achievement for getting all 5 in a single run if you care about that.Don't remember what gives movements speed but I assume it's the item on the right.
>>520499841>when you beat a boss without getting hit*, you get* a bullet casing* which grants you an additional healthfuck me
>>520497413The Master Rounds you get for beating bosses without getting hit gives you extra health slots, which is kind of dumb, rewarding you with thing you would not need in first place.Super Meat Gun, the red blocky gun that shoots saw blades, also gives one health slot AND increased running speed. Because it's meat and I guess Super Meat Boy runs really fast.
>>520468940After playing a lot of the surge I noticed it suffered a lot from enemies that did gigantic undertelegraphed lunges. The telegraphing in general for those games was sub-optimal.In lords of the fallen the problem was mainly bad hitboxes and unreasonably small attack windows.In drova it's enemies that constantly throw out attacks that require you to dodge more times than your stamina allows.Honestly the only main line souls games that felt frustrating and often unfair were demons souls and dark souls 2. I specifically remember ornstein and smough being complete pushovers for me compared to what people were memeing them as.The element of surprise for most ambushes in those games is completely negated byA: looking at the ceiling before you enter the roomB: looking around the corners before you enter the roomDrova's the first one I've played that has genuinely unfair ambushes because it has an enemy that lunges at you from beyond the screen border, with an extremely inconsistent agro range, no sound cue and effectively no time to react.

ENOUGH FROM THE CLOWN FUCKERS
Man, Witcher 3 is such a nice game to lose yourself in. I wish Cyberpunk clicked on the same level for me but for some reason it just doesn't.
>>520516079Nothing says comfy like trees moving with the wind and the warm color of fire on stone.
>>520516079I wish I managed to get into Witcher 3. I tried it, but bounced off right away, and it never clicked. I think I gave up when I faced a werewolf, and just kept dying over and over and over, to the point that I gave up and checked a guide, and realized I was massively undergeared.Ghost of Tsushima was way more up my alley.
>>520516908I remember when I first played the game through steam sharing in the summer of 2016 or 17, exploring White Orchard while having the roof window above my desk open, getting real wind and sun on my face while riding through those birch forests was comfy as hell>>520517478Yeah I remember that quest. Despite being the best or should I say least bad in the series at it, combat still isn't the strong suit of this game in my opinion.I can only imagine what this game would be like if it took a page out of Monster Hunter's or Dragons Dogma's book.
>>520516079I don't know how people get immersed in a game where a few levels of difference might as well be a cliff. Especially when you're supposed to be free to explore but you get one tapped the moment you wander in an area overlevelled, and one tap mobs if they're even a little underlevelled. But then, I hated everyone in here and wanted them all to die, so more power to you.
First time cooking. Curious that almost any combination has a recipe.
>>520456136not likelyfbg is busy making a tabletop game right now
>>520521849>a few levels of difference might as well be a cliff.Is it though? I remember on one of my playthroughs I did the regions in mixed order and it was mostly fine after the first handful of quests and even right now I'm doing quite a few quests that are 5-10 levels above me and it doesn't seem like a big problem (on highest difficulty)But I do agree the leveling balance is kinda funky, it's always a huge letdown when a quest reward is way worse than what you already have. And I know at least of one quest where it seems physically impossible to start it while not being overleveled for it.
>>520521849>when you're supposed to be free to explore but you get one tapped the moment you wander in an area overlevelledThose things aren't mutually exclusive.Freedom to explore doesn't mean the game never puts you in danger.
Just finished The Machine Redux, was really good, way more content that I thought originally was jammed into the game.
>just as I drop into a small pool of water an electric enemy comes off screen and electrifies it>get stunlocked for 10 seconds and diefug :DDD
>>520531672It aint as worse as opening an underwater chest only for an ukkoskivi (electric stone) to spawn from it. Now that is peak bullshit.
>>520535415that's why you always shoot chests, especially when they're in the water
>>520489210I think the thing about most stations is that it's like Freelancer, most of them don't have much going on, especially since there's so many of them

>reaches wildlife pens>literally nothing in there except milk sacks monstersWOW! IT'S FUCKING NOTHING!I need to refine that essence of Leryak into Essence of the night, and repair that weird tree generator, I think?
>>520528962>random ghoul can oneshot youEbin role playing
>>520539617There's actually a lot of little conversations and news stories, at least in the Vauldric systems. It's clear stations were an afterthought sometimes, at least compared to the rest of the things out in space. Also I think there were other designers, since there's some stations that feel like they've got a lot on them and then some that aren't just barren but feel like an AI threw crates everywhere.
>alex made a ship for the sole purpose of spamming Paladin when fighters and missiles were already subpar to capital spam endgame why does he hate midline so much? am I just gonna run Eagles and Conquests until he stops updating?
>>520543251There's a lot of things in the game that feel like an afterthought or that didn't need to be in. It's part of the eurojank charm that they're there, but it'd be a lot tighter experience without them.
what is the secret to these threat fleets why don't they drop a god damn thingI was excited for the new medium HE energy gun and I have not gotten a single one after 20 fleets destroyed why is this light so damn big
I had a young girl "console" my old man character.I wish to think she gave him a hug and he patted her head.>>520543904>why does he hate midline so much? am I just gonna run Eagles and Conquests until he stops updating?Capital spam has always been the end game meta. Specially the Onslaught spam once you have colonies and conga lines of enemies. Even when a few updates ago fighters were OP, capital spam is just too strong.I think it is a legit engine limitation problem.
>>520544284A lot of it does a specific thing because that's how Freelancer did it. Which is good, because Freelancer is good, but I'd rather have no stations if it meant more space stuff.
>>520544714 (me)Oh, I get it now It only drops loot from whatever enemies were in the fleet pre-fight the 80 ships the fabricators spawn don't give you anything MANwhat a pain in the neck, I can't kill the fleets with 3 capitals>>520544797i only play midline and midline puts a lot of stock in cruisers and fighters so it's rather frustrating how hard i get shut out by the new content
>Choco is talking about removing some of the old bonus levels because of feedback and how they don't flow well with current game.
>>520545836The crash bandicoot levels are literally taken from a different game and don't flow well. The rayman levels are a lot better because they're just rayman themed rather than a 1 to 1 copy.
>>520542682Just like the good old RPGs.
>>520542682We called that "fantasy realism", you really think that if all this fantastical shit existed in real life and we had no way to control it that we would willingly go into a dungeon, catacomb, or cave alone and unprepared?Also the hardness was 1 part "git gud" for gamer cred and 1 part "We actually can't produce 8 hours of content, so instead will just make that content very hard and/or use hard and soft locks to make you feel you got your money's worth."
I have a mission in which I have to kill a bunch of bandits. And the kids are going to help. They need to earn their keep. Hell they even help driving when my character is tired or drunk.
>>520521849Remember a lot of these games take inspiration from old D&D which was also very deadly, dark, and gritty at the time. Like D&D, when people play a game they want to feel the world push back on them when they push, if the game gives way every time, all the time, it's not a very good or interesting game is it? While people don't want games hard as tits to play, they do want a reactive world and you aren't going to get that if you're level one and just demolishing everything. At that point its a power fantasy and that kind of content fizzles out very quickly if you aren't at least matched or challenged a handful of times.
>>520557469You've got a weird young romance blooming between the shota-kun and loli-chan as well.
>>520545836To be honest, I also thought that the bonus levels were showing their age, and the bridge section is honestly the shittiest section of the game.
>>520557801>You've got a weird young romance blooming between the shota-kun and loli-chan as well.What I don't know is why they don't seem to speak(?). Just follows me and somehow know how to drive a truck and use a gun.But then there's lore in the other 2 maps and I started in the latest DLC just because.
not sure i really want him as a brother now, battle or no

Good lord, managing stress is hard and expensive for non androids. This three people must eat around 70-150 scrap worth of food and water daily. And not using ingredients to cook food forces me to drink alcohol to deal with stress, which is expensive too.>>520562772At least he would know how to handle horses. Which would be useful is BB had horses and horse combat.
Retainer Carol is real, she can lisp at you.
>>520568126
>>520568637Now I want a Carol ahegao.
>>520545373Both types of abyss enemies make extensive use of emp and other effects that proc from impacting hull, so high tech is preferred but midline can handle it alright. Fighters and destroyers are definitely very useful to fight the demons too. They all try to kite with dash abilities and being able to chase down/bomber strike the eyes is key to removing their fleet's DPS. Longbow spam is amazing for that. A hammerhead can take on a tendril if it has a full kinetic loadout and isn't flanked
>>520563592You're bloodthirsty so destress by melee fighting.
>>520570563But zeds would bash my truck, and that costs scrap. I don't really know why I picked bloodthirsty.Also have you played the new DLC? Any tips?
>>520570771Just played it a bit so far. Tried going straight to the CDC. It's a dead end and offers an optional non standard game over/cheevo. You do get +1 fitness which I don't think can normally be buffed so if you're in the area might as well.
That is it. I am going to reinstall Noita.How do I make good wands in the first few levels? Explain to me as if I was retarded.
I love Jeanne!
>>520572228That depends entirely on what you find.It's not hard to make a decent damage wand and basic teleport wand to move around, only infinite healing and fast digging/travel wands are tricky.
>>520571317>Tried going straight to the CDCI still don't know what it is. Just bought a shotgun for the loli and now I'm going to try to do kill the bandits. If I can't I will leaving the children at Brighthope until I grind more money.Also>you can put the young children to work in the farmsFree child labour, I like this wasteland.
>>520575949I mean it's been marked on the aboveground map along with the HQ quest and station quest.
>>520576092>I mean it's been marked on the aboveground map along with the HQ quest and station quest.Oh, I haven't gone aboveground since I started. The map was orange and red with infected and underground is mostly infection free.
>>520563592Make sure they aren't eating raw rations. Those increase stress a lot over time. Cook them up for "best" results. There are some great meals that reduce stress in addition to hunger, if you can figure them out (or use a guide)
>>520577026I'm currently making a lot of pancakes, pancakes with bacon and fruit platters and fruit cakes. I have around 30 cooked rations as filler and just in case they need a quick bite in the middle of a infected zone.I like the variety and how powerful some foods are but they aren't cheap.
>>520572228too much to explain in a short postthere are videos about it on youtube if you really want help
I may have done something morally questionable. Also I wasted 6k scrap in shotguns for the kids and we didn't even need to shoot anybody.Oh well, mission done and it didn't hurt my Virtue.
>>520577616Try delivery missions with trading between towns in the route. You get a surprising amount of money for carrying stuff across the map, especially when you have to acquire it yourself.
I think that Risk of Rain 2 is ugly
Left the children working the fields. Some farm work will build character.>>520579748Already doing that if they fall under my trade route. But in this DLC map dunno what kind of schizo route you need to be doing to delivery some stuff that is across the map.
This is currently my trade route. It passes through the player controlled settlement of Brighthope in which I have the children working the fields to feed me.
perhaps we could sex?
>>520556474>>520557651The problem is the level scaling is entirely artificial. If the same nekker is either incapable of scratching you, a normal enemy, or invincible based entirely on where you find it on the map, then it completely kills the immersion. And why do mundane swords come in fucking color-graded rarities that somehow translate in higher stats (not to mention late game gear dwarfs early one despite not being special or enchanter by any artisan) then?Old D&D is a horrible inspiration to draw from because you know what it had? A gamemaster adjusting variables on the fly based on group power levels, and a group of friends to laugh when you stick your dick in a trap like a retard, plus the option to easily switch characters (again, via the DM) with secondary character sheets that then get integrated into the story if your DM is any good. Sure you can sign up for the Tomb of Horrors and get your teeth kicked in, but you know what you're in for then. Witcher 3 opens with the super-special trial of the grasses survivor taking a bath with his pals and a flashback to his not-daughter while fucking at least three different super special magic users and being on first name basis with half the nobility. It's a power fantasy to the point pic-related is legit. Getting one-tapped by a mob in the overworld or unable to scratch a quest boss because you went into a cave without looking at the "YOU MUST BE THIS HIGH LEVEL TO RIDE" SIGN" completely takes you out of it into "Oh yeah, this is a video game with bugs and bullshots and transparently artificial not-walls".
Stop playing so many good games I'm old i don't have that much free time
>>520570259I'm not the guy you're replying to, but about fighters against the demons, I normally play with Arma Armatura installed. Do you think some of that mod's mechs and frigate-size ships, like an Aleste with dual Reapers or the Bakraid, would be a good fit for fighting the abyss demons? Or are they too squishy to do so? Besides that, I also use a lot of carriers and fighters in my fleets usually, would a fighter strike work against an Eye, or would the death beam shoot down the bombers before they could get close enough to fire their payload on it?
>>520586271>takes you out of itJust you, specifically you.Most of your complaints make it seem like you're entirely incompatible with any RPG that has character levels and leveled gear at all, or at least ones that don't let you walk over everything you see.

Started this indie Jap game that has Yoshimasa Hosoya and Aoi Yuuki voicing the two main characters. Technically speaking it's very poorly made, with no graphical settings at all. Even worse, the framerate is capped at 30fps and there's ugly motion blur slapped over everything. So far it's got pretty cool music and nice level design though, with solid mechanics. You control this invincible alien golem and protect the alien girl, who isn't invincible. When you let the girl walk on her own, you're able to attack with both of your arms, the arms themselves being weapons you switch between for different purposes. But when you carry the girl, you can only attack with one arm (webm related). Carrying her will regenerate any health she lost. And if you carry her while enemies are still around, they'll use attacks to drop her from your hand--which you can protect against by activating your force field bubble. Besides combat, there's also basic platforming which feels like shit, exploration with collectible lore, and some typical pressure plate level design where you have to leave the girl behind to keep a door open. But it's all been well-thought out and varied. There's even an on-rail shooter section.
bros how do i get out of this feedback loop out of lurking and shitposting on this american bbc fetish website and go back to playing all the indie vidya i pirated?
>>520595364play them, find reasons to hate/love them, come back and post
>>520595364Currently playing Forgive Me Father. Liking it a lot less than I thought I would. Dread Templar was a lot better. Aesthetic is alright but it's yet another fishing village cult for Cthulu, and most of the power-ups feel worthless until you dump levels into them, which means you can't dump them into upgrading your guns. Shotguns feel okay, but using them is a PITA because ammo's rarer than it should be. Bad shotties in a retro FPS don't bode well.

Fuck me, I shouldn't have bought "Raid Auctus". The Idea of an Idle game in a "raid" setting seems cool as hell, but this game is so fucking simplistic. It has a prestige system, and the game is so piss easy that you beat it before you ever need to prestige. How did they fuck this up?It's made by a German, too. I thought they were all autistic about doing in-depth shit.

>>520545836Did they ever add bonus levels from the Glacier onwards? The last time I had the game installed Rusty Canyon was the latest update, and now the game's 41 fucking gigabytes and I don't want to reinstall until it reaches 1.0

Decided to try Darkest Files despite initial doubts. Doubts validated because it's everything I thought it would be, deeply mediocre, heavily on-rail and simple case work, annoyingly Jewish writing. It's way more Ace Attorney than Obra Dinn, there's very little interaction or thinking required even in the so-called hard mode.
>>520682041>annoyingly Jewish writingwhenever you boot up the game it asks if you're eating enough and complains that you're wasting your potential, your cousin's a doctor you know?

Fear the Bad SunThe fact that the base alarm triggers when the Bad Sun rises means they knew it could happen and set up a system specifically to detect it.
long distance cast -> spark bolt w/ timerdivide chained mu -> ball lightningwand refreshand the rest is modifiers... projectile area teleport + orbit larpa + chain spell gives you 3x4x5 lightning balls detonating right on target before any divides. i like the way it works and looksnow, what modifiers would be the best for getting extreme damage out of this?maybe something like water for the ball lightning and adding 10x crit on wet modifiers?with divide by 800 mu, that'd be 800000% crit or 40000x damage multiplierand of course you'd have 16000 lightning balls instead of 60the lag might get pretty bad thoughwithout any other damage modifiers that'd be like uhh 8 billion electric damage and half of that as explosivei think the noitautism finally got to me

I don't know if this belongs here but there is no other thread and /jrpg/ does not exisy, but I have a question about Chrono TriggerI went through the Black Omen, and I want to get 3 of the Prismatic Dress, and want to do it in thr other timelines to get the other 2, but when beating the boss takes me to the final boss with no way out, how do I go back, if I can?
never really played an idle game before but this is annoyingly addictive, town management sim with some survival explorationhttps://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/
>>520721685just so it happens that I am also playing CT! And also it happens that I haven't beaten this game in many years so I am not 100% sure.i believe there is a way to go back after beating the first part of lavos, with a blue portal or something. The final boss actually has multiple phases and after the first part you have a break to walk around and the game gives you a save point and a way to go back.The first part, if I remember correctly, is mostly lavos mimicking all the main bosses of the game.

>>520587236What "good games" are you eyeing recently?
>>520683583yeah, it's technically possible to do it by grinding gems from unranked rewards and then ranked chests, but idk how long that would takeI dunno how much it costs now but I paid $30 for the closed beta and got two characters free. The newest one came out a couple of days ago, which I unlocked with gems I had stored.Overall I'd say it's worth it, the game is a lot of fun and I put like 250 hours into it.

rate my current (underground jungle) wandbasically it's a shotgun that fires giga sawdiscsalso can any noita expert explain why this wand sometimes sets flammable terrain on fire? i mean it freezes things and then sets the ice on fire. which is funny but i don't see how it works.
>>520804391electricity passing through the water will do that. I also think that freezing only freezes liquids, for everything else it just applies a visual effect
>>520632647I played hellpoint from start to finish, and I both loved and hated it. Clunky animation, questionable boss design (ie that one alien thing in arcology underground), but it does have splitscreen co-op which make it a pretty nice game, one of the few I can play with my nephew.Speaking of other game more fitting of this thread, I just finished Drova and while I loved the game overall, FUCK the fight against the two golems and an army of remnant, this was pure fucking cancer and a letter you find bait you into thinking its the way to go when its actually a purely optional fight. Like already that the golems hit like a truck, spam spells and there are 2 of them at the same time, there id also between 4 to 7 remnant who respawn 3 time total during the fight. God this was so fucking stupid, the entire game you basically learn to fight against 1 to 3 enemies top, then bam youre facing a whole army by yourself, it aint fun trying to dodge 4 mages doing aoe spells at the same time.
>>520769771practically everything in the last few threads intersects me, except maybe that anime game but even that looks fun
>>520807162I find the combat in drova annoying in general and easily broken(in a bad way) if one or two enemies' RNG attack algorithms decide to do certain attacks repeatedly or out of sync or whatever.

>>520815237>>Everybody is talking>Nobody was talking
>>520805235note that the water doesn't really do anything, it's just stored there.it's not triggered by the triplicate bolt so it slowly sprays a short distance from minä and rarely hits any mobs.i'm hoping to find add trigger spell to make it trigger from the triplicate bolt to actually get wet crits going.>>520809847doesn't matter when it's got 3 spells/cast and less than 3 spells
>>520783413It's decent when it comes to having a simple sandbox game to do shit around in. I wanted to play it as a stimming game more than anything.
>>520804391wand updated, at holy mountain after the vault.i didn't exactly find add trigger but add expiration trigger will do.it's getting a little complicated so bear with me.first there's quadruple multicast to cast the 4 triplicate bolts.then there's add expiration trigger, which does nothing to the modifers and adds trigger to the first projectile spell it sees making in trigger the next spell, water.the first group of modifiers is bunch of random damage buffs, second is utility, and third is speedbuffs to cope with the slow-ass wand and slow-ass spells.pretty basic stuff right?now the interesting bit is this:why are the modifiers between add expiration trigger and the multicasted spells instead of outside the multicast to apply to the multicast? well, this way they also get applied to every spell in the multicast... but for free. im gonna eventually need a better suited wand for this with less mana and more speed.
>>520819946at this point it looks like this.this stupid thing does a ton of damage types: projectile, slice, ice, electric and now also explosive.probably not as good as i thought but it's a funny wand.
>>520814612That's the next milestone update IIRC.
>>520809521The thing I disliked the most in the fighting is how you're limited to 3 dodge in a row, and get a cooldown if you use them, but you have enemies that can attack 4 or even 5 times in a row, or have like 3 guys attack you at the same time. Its why I absolutely hated the 2 golem fights I spoke of earlier, the only actual solution is to cheese it up which is really bad design imo, even for an optional fight meant to be difficult.
>Haste: Broken WorldsPro; Gameplay is actually fun, feel like the lovechild of 3d sonic games if they were good and Tribes skiing mechanic. But ill admit its annoying how unclear and counterintuitive it is which landing are going to be perfect or ok/bad, as you're penalized for it since its always a race against time and these slow you down a lot. Like landing on a flat surface is considered perfect but landing on a downward slope seem like its a coinflip between good or perfect, its weird.Av2gmCons; character design and writing scream of DEI, especially the Captain who look like an flamboyant homosexual stereotype to the point it could pass as satire. Whenever I see him on screen im annoyed, that pink eye shadow is an eyesore.
I don't know what to level up for my hero character. I don't know if invest in attack, cooking or focus.

Recommend me some actually good metroidvanias or sidescroller-platformers.

>>520861049I unironically hope that the game is shit, cause the salt would be amazing and that would be very funny.I probably have turned in to a horrible person.

>>520867209Try https://github.com/Perfare/AssetStudio
Tried playing Wizardry 8, my first one. It's a fun game and the mechanics are pretty cool, but I simply can't stand the high amount of enemies. Yes, I was using the Wiz8fast at 600x movement speed right after experiencing the default speed on my first battle. You always had to make sure there was only 1 pack of enemies around, which even then was a little slow. Running away from enemies was a slog. There are some choke points full of enemy packs that you simply can't avoid without running while in combat mode, if even that. Spell casting resources are somewhat scarce early on, which leads you to wanting to Camp more, but camping means enemy respawn getting in the way of your comfy exploration. Moving in combat means your party's turn will be reduced to that of the slowest member, but yet it's so easy to be out of melee range unless you use a spear or something with long or extended range. Targetting priority sucks and will break CC on multiple enemies after the current target dies on the default combat mode, but the alternative combat mode seems like too much annoying micromanaging (didn't give a try to be honest).All in all just a bunch of annoying and slog stuff for a combat that boils down to standard buff + debuff/CC + attacks with different amounts of resource costs, which I can get in plenty of other games without the downsides that Wiz8 has. That said, I have high respect for the game and can easily understand why someone would be a fan, or even a cultist, of the series.
>>520865235What carries HK is artstyle and amount of content. Pretty hard to fuck up. Just like Souls slop are carried by level design and visual presentation of it + amount of content, once again pretty hard to fuck it up unless the key people in charge of those two elements leave. Combat is pretty basic and traversal movement skills are nonexistent on HK, so even less things to fail, although I vaguely remember some statement about them wanting Silk-chan to have some mobile gameplay.
>>520865189Is there a way to get codename gordon again? It's been so long I forgot it existed.
Hey quick questionWhat the fuck?
>>520871908I don't know how far you are into the game so I don't want to spoil anything but its funny that you got killed specifically by that entity.
>>520872070I went up to day 30 in my previous save to unlock sandbox, but did practically zero exploration. I didn't even discover all the mannequins at Uniform until after the treehouse was built.
>>520872910Oh, then that isn't even scratching the surface of the things you'll experience then, comparatively that is more on the normal side. Keep playing, have fun, good luck, and be "cautiously curious".
>What if starsector was boring and a tiny bit gay?0/10
>>520873097That game came out of Sunless Sea though, and yeah the weird woke shit about sexuality and women dressing like men and men dressing like women in a dark and dreary Victorian London that sunk into an underground sea is a bit on the retarded side. I get that the dev was trying to have their cake and eat it too by maybe trying to "unsettle you" by doing stuff like that, but it isn't unsettling, it's just forced. The Silence of the Lambs murdering transvestite, now that's unsettling... Well... Way less so now than back then but you know; I'd still be on edge if I shared a room with that man.
>>520873097>tiny bit
>>520873580>That game came out of Sunless Sea thoughStarsector came out first but literally no one knew about it and this game had a pretty good artist and writer behind it and they checked all the political boxes so the game journalists chose this over an actual game. Nothing new.
>>520873097What's funny is that if there was a setting to put in the gay stuff, Starsector would be it. They could have even gone the extra mile of keeping a lid on the tranny shit till later when the more Cthulhu elements occur, but nope.
>>520874047People would complain but have a terrorist or terror-like faction that was just as radical as the Luddic Path but the opposite direction would have been pretty cool to have in my opinion, but then that is maybe getting a bit too political? I got banned in Starsector RP channel when I called openly gay and trans characters in the game abominations.
that sun tho
>>520877201What game is this? Also It go so fucking cold where I'm at today that we have the fireplace roaring again. Why can't Spring just be warm?
>>520878605It is from big jays rattastic adventure. My friend is the artist, she did all the voxel models and stuff for it and she gave me a key. It is a little buggy but it is a pretty alright platformer.
>>520878964That's pretty cool, I'll play along. Did it release recently?
>>520879414yeah, I have been giving her notes for improvement and shes been taking them pretty seriously. I am excited for her next update.
>>520880393Oh is she the dev as well?
>>520880925She and one of her friends made it together, I think she mainly does the art. The best part about it for me is the music and feeling like I am playing a retro game. I wish the stages were longer though.
>>520867595Thats for unity. This is a gamemaker game.

The amoutn of outskilled I performed on this dude should be outlawed in over 120 nations.Can't believe this new gem is free. Also downloaded the OST off spotify because I take any new vaporwave I can get.
>>520929659As long as it is actual rogouelikes instead of shallow action games with minor randomization in map rotation and loot drops.
>>520929659This is 1984, isn't it?
>>520930240was talking to a friend of mine that only played nuqud how It's absolutely crazy how old qud (free game made as a hobby by one dude with DF's tileset and with dying earth/BoTNS influences) completely got overturned into "some dude's artsy fartsy tubmlr lgbt++ game" the moment they started to get monetized and changed devteamIt's such a shame that the game became mechanically more complex and interesting and polished, because the original had a very interesting setting, but piss poor mechanics, the current iteration has the most retarded setting with echoes of its origin, but interesting mechanicsI can't really find a reason to play old qud because it was basically whalescata tier of jank and had savegames baloon in the hundreds of megs by default in the earlygame, but it's a shame what happened to itI don't even know if you can find the free version anywhere but on the internet archive>>520930651you will take exactly what you're given and be thankful you're off the streets
>>520930832a pretty good recent graphic novel of it yes
found it http://s3.amazonaws.com/CoQ/coq.zip
>>520919762It's great but it's an acquired taste.Expect the same cycle of hating it until it clicks like when you first played the base game.
>>520930240I heard a rumour on /rlg/ that there's going to be another sequel to MaiDensnow Eve.
hell yeah that's the stuff
>>520810912Holy shit the introduction test crawl sound is incredibly grating if you have headphones one, text crawl sounds should never overpower the music unless they are signalling barks in a chaotic situation.
>>520937554Is this version playable? Where would you even find it?
>>520787245Do you play this game? I've seen a video of it, and it looked like it was made by mixing only the bad parts of Starbound.
Devs need to check their random quest generation algo. From my truck to blue is 7k payout but from the same spot to purple is 1k.
>>520942193>Is this version playable?yeah, it was the last ascii version released in 2012 before the big hiatusyou can find it here https://s3.amazonaws.com/CoQ/setup.exe or https://s3.amazonaws.com/CoQ/coq.zip without the installer, same thing, just extract and run the .bat fileI found it from the archive of an old roguebasin page but it's actually right there in the middle of their reddit under "free version" go figure
>>520950492>4.1 MB zip file>extracts to 19 MBMy Caves of Qud install is 1.21 GB
>>520954358yes anon welcome to the world of indie roguelike procgen games built with ascii tilesets
Old outfit is getting an update.
>>520829907So after playing a tad more, id say my early critic of DEI influence may have been somewhat exagerrated, but I still despise the captain visual design. Gameplay is still as solid, but the random procgen levels can be a real pain in the ass at times due to rng like object clutter or damaging traps being placed in a position that screw you over (at shard 7 atm and the only times I tend to die or even get hit is with bullshit terrain placement or at bosses, which become stupidly insane by the last 3 shards, like honestly its basically bullethell territory). Overall its a pretty good game id recommend, but there are still some jank and bugs that will probably get polished out sooner than later, also I hope they work out the item balance a bit more because way too many of them are literally useless.
holy crap noita is a huge gamenot even counting parallel worlds and new game+just the core map is hugethe main route to kolmi is just a tiny part of itgoddamn
>>520963156it's crazy
Found a fun start for CDDA. Pick last stand, increase monster spawns by 10x and watch the chaos
>>520963156yes
>>520963156There's gotta be something in the water in Finland.
Looks like Into the Dead aka this war of mine zombie apocalypse edition is out soon.
>*blocks your path*How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>520958829That's an exceptionally short skirt.
>>520965843>check mapWhat the fuckI played it at release when people were just starting to find out about the Mountain Altar and wondering what they were supposed to do with the pyramid
>>520963156I want to love noita, put like 20 hours into noita over the years but I just can't get in to it enough to finish itI think my problem is that there's a bunch of annoying things you have to do to get a run going, yet basically zero defensive scaling. So you can spend an hour getting a good run going just to have the quirky physics set off a nuke next to you and instantly trash all of your work
>>520973640>put like 20 hours into noita over the yearsweek rightyou mean week
>>520973640I've been trying it for the first time. Attempted Teleportitus. Never doing that again, but haven't laughed harder at a roguelike death in a long time. The last thing I heard was a boom, and my body showed up above a pile of red looking crap and proceeded to light everything in the area on fire.
>>520972626Why are ya staring at the skirt?
>>520975476Because it's in the way.
thoughts on Nuclear Option?
>>520973640>the quirky physics set off a nuke next to you there are no such physicsbut you should consider using teleport/long-distance cast or similar utility when casting payloads that can kill youtriggers/timers can hit a smoke pixel in the air, and such pixels constantly emanate from wands with certain fiery/explosive spellsor consider not using spells that can kill you before getting the necessary immunity perks
>>520976298>there are no such physicsThere are many such cases
>>520975145No, years.Play for a 5-6 hours over the span of a week or two, stop having fun, put it down. Next year, same thing.
>>520958829Reminds me of Dungeon Defenders

>>520986604Did you already find the letter? It was never going to be good. Near the end there's another one, it gets even worse. Make sure to rest up every chance you have, to restore that morale.
>>520986604
noita can be a bit annoying when trying to get specific spellsi have gone through 6 parallel worlds, killing ylialkemisti and grabbing all holy mountain perks and i haven't gotten a single chainsaw, mu or wand refreshthis is getting ridiculous
>>520986604yeah
>>520986604I've been playing too much Ultrakill. Spent a few more seconds than I should have understanding "prank" as "P-rank" and wondering what the fuck I missed in my DE playthrough
So anons, if we ignore all the "ugly protagonist" drama, is Horizon Zero Dawn actually worth playing?
>>520989468I wish I had volition to stop me from doing what harry does.
>>520991156it's fine, a bit better better than many generic open world games
>>520991156It's the end result of the ubislop formula. So it's okay, but it's still the same kind of game as all of them.
>>520993619>>520995503I feel like my biggest red flag is looking at the skill tree and seeing no interesting / cool skills. All just.. "make yourself marginally better".
Any fun Survivor-likes over the past year or two?

That was one hell of a run, effectively lost all my lives in the last level because there was so much clutter I literally couldn't figure out where to land lmao, pretty good game would recommend to anyone able to handle geniune ''gotta go fast'' level of gameplay.

>>520977423That's not a nuke and it's a valuable lesson.>>520976298This disinformation poster sponsored by hiisi. Probably think giant chain saws are unsafe too.
>>520989468>>520992882You can TRAIN your own volition.The brain can be trained the same way muscles can. You start small. You increment the load. You do it regularly. You allow yourself rest days. People say "I have a bad memory", but that's misleading. The brain develops the parts you use and shelves the parts you don't. It's known and accepted for muscle memory: If you play a bunch of noita, you're gonna get better at throwing objects (in the game and against your walls). But muscle memory isn't in your muscles, it's in your brain. And the brain also handles memory, decision making, enacting a wish, facing resistance. All of these can be developed. An edgelord said, Excellence is a habit- we are what we repeatedly do. An AI said, We are our choices. The drill instructor says, drop and give me twenty maggot.
>>521023553>Probably think giant chain saws are unsafe too.nah they're quite safe, especially the orbit version that doesn't return to you.i used a giga disc shotgun early on in my current run and never did more than 400 damage to myself in one click which means it is *very* safe in terms of noita and spinning sawblades.all of that was entirely self-caused and preventable (bad homing) but i just didnt care because i already had a simple infinite heal
>>521024720>never did more than 400 damage to myself in one click>default hp is 100 and very difficult to increase
>>521024972well, yesthat's very safe for getting hit by a runaway train of sawbladesi put projectile speed up on it because i didn't like how much the discs tore up the environmentless contact time = less damagethat probably saved my life a few times
Not today
Good long stabbing weapons are ridiculous. Stabs in general are just way better than slashes. Axes are the only good "slashing" weapons because they effectively stab on contact.It's so much easier to use a spear than other weapons, but that does mirror real life.Blunt weapons suck.
>>521038971>Blunt weapons suck.Don't see anyone wearing full plate or chainmail
>>521039521Blunt weapons in this game are most effective against unarmored opponents, bladed weapons are vastly more effective against unarmored opponents.A good stab will kill them far faster than wailing on them with blunt weapons, certain bladed weapons pierce armor.Most of the outright deaths of heavily armored opponents I witnessed were from axe blows instantly taking limbs or heads.

>>521103923Really? There's masters all over the place.As early as coal pits level, in the fungal caverns.
>>520815237Waiting warmly for it.
What's a good wand in Noita, really?
>>521116809And I don't mean 6 gorillion damage record setters but a practical and versatile wand.Teleport, healing and digging roles merge nicely into one wand but I've started to develop a pattern of using two damage wands.One for general AOE room clearing and another for surgically sniping masters through walls.Those roles definitely should be compresseable into one wand (especially with hotswapping some spell components) but I haven't found a setup that I like yet.What's YOUR idea of a fun to use damage wand?
>>521116809Fairly long and with a gem near the bottom.
>>521118508I like the way single-cast shuffle wands look. Slim, sleek, elegant.
>>521116809One that kills the bad people and doesn't kill you.
>>521116809Rocks with homing and traverse (cant remember the actual name atm) or eat ground, its always hilarious watching unaware enemies get obliterated by a rock going at mach 2, also because its a rock its considered accidental death so you get loads of dosh.
>>521095545You should play it, its an allright game and the humor is actually good. Some of the fights are kinda janky tho.
>>521124472Is it like Sacrifice?
>>521126238Never played it so I cant say, but its an arcady beat em all in an open world with occasional rts segment where you can go into the battlefield to personally support your troops. Biggest point imo id say is the character design which is top notch, and the ton of cameos if you're into classic metal music.
>>521126952>Never played itYou walk around, find mana geysers, build manalith on them to hog it for yourself, and then use mana to summon creatures that obey your every whim and fetish.
>>521072229I tried it. Not a whole lot of substance, even for a beta, but it's fun. If they make actually swinging less jank and give it multiplayer it could go places.
>>521095545It was from before the team sold out to the DEI crap, and that massive scam that was "Fig" I think. Jack Black included. The majority of the jokes are now likely no-touch offensive for them now. Also includes a bunch of mix tapes of official music from metal bands, it almost acts as a kind of violent interactive "museum" for metal music (this is now more pertinent a saying since some of the people in it are not with us any longer... See you around, Killmaster.). You can organize what plays in case you don't like stuff, can unlock hidden tracks by finding stuff, your magic is literal guitar hero style input etc. Each genre is its own faction and has its own powers, and even has in-world lore that applies its own twisted "metal logic." One of those things that deserves a sequel in different hands.
>>521130281At least we still have the guardian of metal.
>>521133118"Oh, I'm nobody."That cameo took me off guard when I first played it. Fits perfectly.
Voices of the Void's filtering me.There's not enough time in a day for maintaining the survival bars, signal handling, collecting codes, CONSTANT breakages AND cleaning up the place.
>>521140135Focus on survival and handling signals first.
>>521140334Can't handle the signals in time because downloading's too slow.Downloading is slow because the servers are dead and calibration is off. Can't redirect power from compute because the servers have to be turned on before heading out to fix them, and by the next day 4 more servers have started filling out crosswords with Z's and calibrations have dropped to 60% again.Oh and the radio tower is down so you missed the deadline on those codes. Deadass had it die again within 5 minutes after last climbing it.
>>521141352You make it sound so hard, but it wasn't so difficult when I played, so I dunno what to tell you, sorry...
>>521141984Wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of esoteric "anti-piracy" (it's fuckin' free) punishment for blocking the game in the firewall.
>>521142169I hope not. I'm used to live in the countryside, so losing internet randomly used to be a daily occurence to me.Nowaday I live in the city so it's more a monthly occurence, but still, I got the habit of saving everything I like "just in case".
>>521149903I mean you can technically play them like that sure. Part of the reason they're great is the variety in viable playstyles.
>>521047229it's so fucking dogshita literal children game of matching the number to eachother and the bigger number win
>>521153620>>521047229literally just play Cobalt Core if you want something FTL-like deckbuilderLonestar is so aggressively bad I actually want to break the devs' kneesthe whole gameplay loop revolves around drawing some random number from 1-5 and putting them in 1 out of 3 lanes and whoever wins a lane deals the difference as damage to the enemy.that's it. that's the whole gameplay loop. there's items to change the number put the entire fucking game is put the bigger number in the slot. it's an insult to the intelligence of any person who expected to work their brain even a little
>>521149903Most games are puzzles by definition but most don't consider them puzzle games.

It is perhaps the case that edged weapons sometimes cut a little too well.
Just finished watching somebody playing To The Moon for the first time, then for good measure I went and watched another person do it + A Bird Story + Finding Paradise.Man, they're every bit as good as I remember if not better. I feel like I'll never recover from the feels. Having somebody there "with me" was really nice for them.

>>521170632Ever played Journey? God I wish I could wipe my memory of it so I could relive it again fresh, especially if I happens to find someone else early on and we stick together from start to end. God the feels during the last 2 section of the game are genuinely memorable.

>>521175106Most of the controls work well enough, many weapons are just really difficult to properly land full swings with, it's almost impossible to consistently do full swings from a planned angle at a particular body part.The biggest issue is that momentum calculation often leads to bladed weapons cutting far better than is reasonable. I've seen someone get instantly cut in half because they were slashed by a steak knife before.Blunt weapons are pretty horrible unless you're fighting a completely unarmored opponent or both participants are in full plate, they do nothing except deliver concussions against armored opponents, you can't really wear down armored opponents through impacts against parts of their body besides their head.The most effective weapon against armored and unarmored opponents as of right now is probably the goedendag. It's long, it has armor piercing swings that are very easy to land, and it also can deliver immediately incapacitating stabs to any part of the body not armored by plate.
I'm a complete shmup noob, tried zeroranger, got to stage 4 so far but it feels.. weird. Like there's some nonlinearity. time travel. meta-plot. I kinda just want to play a shmup start to finish, git gud and all of that jazz. but when you can start on each new stage and I lack the skill to not get hit.. what's the point?

yeah i'm about to start playing book of hours again, and i don't remember almost anything about it, and the last time i only played for maybe like 5 hours but i enjoyed itany advice for a basically new player?

>>521160162Dunno, trying to establish the netflix account as way to game could be just another way to keep users hooked and paying for the subscription, or could be a plot to earn money with series-movies tie-in slop somehow.I probably should check it out, they have katana zero, in to the breach and other decent games, but I believe its all mobile games for android.
>>521140135you can lower the difficulty in settings, it makes day longers, lowers daily task requirments(but also payout)and slow hunger/stamina drain i think, im going by memory or you can just lower day speed by up to 50% in experimental settingsAlso consider investing in a kerfu, it's retarded ,it will get stuck so you need to babysit it a bit but it will try fix server for you

>>521189068Do I need to play the previous game?I always found the look of the map a bit off putting but this one seems way cooler
>>521189323No, the story is self-contained and just an excuse for the events of the game, the main appeal is the dungeon crawling and battles/party building, anyway. And yeah, the maps having an actual design to them instead of just being floating circles is a massive upgrade over the previous one.

In CoE5 how do I find the castle in Hades? Is making the Baron "King of the Underworld" any different from making him "King of the Surface"?
>>521199720Try asking /civ4xg/, I don't think we do CoE. I admit I'm curious about it, though.
>>521199814Wouldn't it be tangentially domg?
>>521200096I tried asking about CoE there once, I got told in pretty nice terms (per 4chan standards) that they only dealt with Dominions.
>>521176335Just keep playing, from the start or not, it doesn't matter, you'll get better at it eventually.Zeroranger is a shmup that wants you to reach the end unlike most others
>>521173284>Ever played Journey?I own it on PS3, played it for 20ish minutes of walking and jumping around in a desert, but it didn't seem like something I'd be interested in as I despise platformers or similar games and nothing else drew me in. Haven't returned to it since.
>>521195289annoying, it was the first time in a long wait where I was so excited for a game I kind of planned my time ahead so I could play it on release!
>>521202085it's out
What is the meta of noita? You go down until you have good wands, then dig up and go to parallel worlds to farm more resources? Farthest I ever reached is the zone below the vault, where I got instantly obliterated because there are tons of monsters, more tanky than in the levels above.
>>521204784The current meta is to use spell lab to spawn everything you need, post a video of you playing god, and then claim it was all organic.
>>521204784The "meta" isn't important if you haven't beaten the game yet.
>Me, wanting to play something different from other stuff I already did>in a whim, check what chinese games exist, that are not gachas/live service or require internet connection, to see how they differ or what they are allowed to do now that they dont have to deal with concepts such as content drought or whatever>Start playing a sandboxy "Xianxia" game called Tales of Immortal>After around 100 or so hours finish it>I finally get what picrel meant>Check another game but in the "Wuxia" genre, go with Heros journey, road to PassionToI had flaws but it was also the kind of game i do not regret playing, and now I think it will become my gateway into chinese fantasy series or books unironically.
Oh no! Chudda did it again!
After dismissing it for a long time I have decided that it's time to give Voice of the Void a try.Going in pretty much blind, hope I'll enjoy it
>>521205956You probably meant to play Signal Simulator, like I did.
should i? i liked human revolution
>>521206098Hmm, there's a good chance that I've seen SignalSim and thought it's VotV, but in that case I think I might just give both a try.
>>521204784You're way too early to be worrying about parallel worlds or anything like that.The meta at your stage is to explore. Find more stuff, side biomes, spells, unique wands, emerald tablets, orbs, bosses. Learn how different spells, wandbuilding and various game systems work.Gettin good at Noita is 80% knowledge. The remaining fifth is a mix of metaprogression (spell unlocks), twitch skill and early game RNG.
>>521101416>PC Gamer gave it 94%>a higher score than Hollow Knight, Hades, Disco Elysium, The Witcher 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Sekiro, and Yakuza 0The demo didn't give such an impression
>>521173674I enjoyed it.
>>521179267Wish I could tell you anything profound, but I guess just enjoy it?Be patient about it, don't rush and don't worry about hyper optimizing your resources. The game doesn't really have a failstate, so even though it feels cool to utilize every single card you get, there's nothing wrong with letting some of them decay every now and then
>>521201537Then your loss I guess, especially since ps3 online must be dead as fuck now so you wont be able to find someone else. The way it worked is tgat randomly youd be able to find someone else also playing (it was effectively seamless obline) and youd support each others in climbing the mountain and finding upgrades for your cape (also you could recharge each others cape by singing alongside each others, greatly enhancing your mutual reach as to attain more upgrades). The last two chapters were emotional rollercoaster as youd both die of exhaustion near the tempest wrought mountaintop and get reborn as flying angels where you'd find whoever you played with flying there and it would be a final stretch of jolly cooperation as you soar ever higher and fly around each others.Overall a suprisingly great experience, one of the few games id legitimately call an art work.
I don't enjoy pirating games but i'm a bit short right now and it seems to be the "you need to go in blind and not know ANYTHING about it" type, so here we go
>>521207596I wouldn't say metaprogress influence much of anything, getting the late game spells early is so goddamn rare that it almost never happens. When you have everything unlocked, you have hundreds of spells and you only have maybe 5 or 10 unlockable spells that are actually worth a damn to get early, they come only from fairly rare sources that pick a random spell regardless of the tier. Twitch skill is a lot more important than metaprogress.
>>521211412Kenshi
>>521211412I guess it makes more sense with a picture
>>520815237>>521107594>>521159576>>521211412>>521211635Genuine marketer shill.
>>521206494Yeah its pretty good and the story is nice and way ahead of its time, but be aware it can be janky at times, I mean its a 25 year old game so that to be expected. Iirc there is a few QoL mods around, like the community patch which make it more stable on modern hardware.
>>521211938First day on /indie/, anon?
>>521207596If it's early "meta" I think what contributed the most to me getting gud is the digging through the Holy Mountain trick. If you dig through the Holy Mountain it won't collapse and you can always go back to it whenever you want to tinker wands if you don't get the tinker wands anywhere perk.The second thing that made me git gud is SPOILER defeating the alchemist. You shouldn't worry about it at this point.
>>521211464Nah that's 100% bullshit.Many of the greek letter spells aren't late game, Zeta is literally tier 2 and can be used for infinite heals and black holes. Add triggers and such are also available at mid-tiers.When it comes to late game (tier 10) spells, what's the easiest way to get wand refresh? Metaprogression. Fuck going to mestarien mestari again, just go to hell and pick as many copies as you like.Same applies to almost any unlockable spell but especially late game stuff. You can get it way easier from shops if you have it unlocked.
>>521213129Are you saying to stop pointing them out?
>>521213331>digging through the Holy Mountain trickyou don't even have to dig loljust teleport past the corner that triggers the collapse
>>521213549Digging through is easier. I go back and forth out and into the holy mountain a LOT so I mess up at times. Digging is just safer and more convenient. Sometimes you don't get a tp wand too.
>>521213373You're correct. That's a new thing from the late 2023-2024 updates, I haven't really played noita since 2021. Before that, the greek letters were all tier 5+ (except sigma I think which was tier 4). Still, a 0.15% spawn rate is pretty damn low for a "copy a random spell from a different wand" spell. Divide by 2 is tier 3 and also very rare. Both are rarer than finding the nuke spell which is tier 1.
>>521205742oh my god that post is so accurate>>521206494YES!!!But also check Deus Ex Revision. It's on Steam, and I think it's a mod.
>Speedrunners 2HOLY KINO
>>521214217>Sometimes you don't get a tp wand too.Return + trigger/timer works even better. (not pictured)>>521213373>Zeta is literally tier 2RNG Tiers don't fucking fucking matter when those specific spells are literally not in the spawn table until you have completed specific metaprogression tasks.
>>521214687All divides are also easy & fast to farm from shops once unlocked, easier than getting them legit and also available in larger quantities.>>521215530>until you have completed specific metaprogression tasks.Yes, that's what I was saying. Spell unlock metaprogression makes things easier.
>Void/Breaker is literally FPS Noita B-based
>>521214217>Digging is just safer
>>521219230Reminds me of picrel. Did it get anywhere?
>>521219673As you can see, every "get gud" noita guy is dishonest.
>>521219230>gently taps shoulder with axehead>guy fucking splits in halfAnime physics
>>521219737I think it concluded development two years ago.
>>521219673
>>521220570>a hair's widths precision required>safe
>>521220084The axes could use some work, they do shit like that unnervingly often in that game.
>>521219983>>521221252I mean, you can dig through the whole holy mountain brickwork layer safely if you have enough autism to do it with luminous drill. I wouldn't bother without unlimited black holes.You're more likely to have some kind of teleportation anyways.If you also happen to find long-distance cast, that makes teleporting in and out trivial. You never have to approach the collapse zone.
>>521214960Mind you, In my run of ToI, I uttered random messages like>I didn't expected the horse to become my wife>That bird just did a hatecrime to an Ocean>How do I survive Unlimited bamboo works?>The setting tells me this is China, the fact that Im almost dead and no medic in the vicinity wants to heal me tells me this is America>I have a woman in my Jar>I got succed almost dry by a fish womanand more stuff. Right now in Road to Passion I got involved into a tournament that had as a prize a bride. I sadly lose it, then as a test the bride had to punch the winner and I had to endure it.Then the guy got launched to the wall and died. Luckily I can reload so I can try again when my stats are better.The random tidbits that happen all over the places are pretty fun.
>>521221723Somebody else playing Road to Passion? Neato. I'm just trying to farm achievements still, so my second run will be super powerful compared to this one.
>>521219983I once said noita is a wiki game and some anon got real mad. Something about finndies attracts all the autists.
>Katana Zero trailer>just to hit you withfuck
>>521218113You are not buying divide by 3, 4 or 10 from shops. Divide by 3 is a 0.07% tier 4 spell. Divide by 4 is 0.08% tier 5 which is temple tier, literally the end of the game. Divide by 4 and divide by 10 are post temple, divide by 10 specifically is tier 10 only.Those are extremely rare before temple of the art. By that point you shouldn't have any problem going back up and getting the greek letters yourself.The only one that has decent chances to appear before kolmi is divide by 2 in temple of the art and that's still fairly low.There are very few game changer spells that you can unlock, tentacle is one of them, orbits are some others (which are very easy to unlock since it's in the jungle from one of the easiest boss in the game) and the trigger spells.
>>521211938Well you'll be delighted to know that i can (literally) hardly stomach the gameIt makes me physically nauseous just like Infra doesI just want to be able to play first person puzzle games, bros...
>>521224004>You are not buying divide by 3, 4 or 10 from shops.Nigger, hell and heaven shops are full of them.It took me less than an hour to build two divide by 10/10/4/2 chains during my current run.
Risk doesn't seem to work as advertise. I'm over 100% risk and I can spend hours driving and not get jumped by zeds.>>521222597>Somebody else playing Road to Passion?I still have it in backlog. Alongside Wandering Sword and Tale of Immortal.
>>521224469Yeah and hell and sky are late game. Dude, what the hell. Do you go to hell before killing the alchemist?
>>521222597Im just exploring for now. at first I went with the old man, and he helped me giving me strong items and skills every once in a while that helped me get a good jumpstart in Chuxiang. right now Im going to level up constitution to survive the punch of the girl, then go to the third city because at this point all the missions I havent done yet are telling me to go over there>>521224517Tales of Immortal I can't call it a bad game but I will call it a dense ass game. its hard to wrap your head around it, especially if its your "first" engagement with how Chinese devs seem to envision their games.
>>521225319Easiest way to survive her punch is 10 strength, which you can power level almost trivially by gathering resources. Herbs are the most important one to gather just because there's several legendary ones that give permanent HP/SP increases. Your personal house's back yard / mountain comes with 3 of each legendary gather point + one epic / rare / normal after you've upgraded it.
>>521225098They're shops all the same. You got into a semantics fight.
>>521226117But anon, you're not getting to those shops before unlocking the spells in the first place. Hell is hard to get to and sky is extremely dangerous. At best unlocking those spells just allows you to skip the quest to get them again, it doesn't make future runs easier since by the point where you can even realistically access those shops, you would have everything you need to unlock those spells again.
>>521225098Actually yeah, I have dug into the east 300k gold square and gone to heaven shops very early a couple of times.But who said anything about that? You're jousting against your own imaginary windmills.Take a moment to look back at the statement you tacked on to and started arguing against:>80% knowledge. The remaining fifth is a mix of metaprogression (spell unlocks), twitch skill and early game RNG.Metaprogress via spell unlocks is a contributing part to the last 20%. Do you still disagree with this or what?Then you replied>I wouldn't say metaprogress influence much of anythingWhich I called bullshit and have continued to provide examples how metaprogress infuences the game.Like the last example. Without spell unlocks, you'd need to be several NG+ deep to build maxed out divide chains by repeeating the quests. With unlocks, you can quite easily do it in early midgame, before even breaking into parallel worlds.
>>521227526I'd argue that metaprogress factor so little that it's not worth mentioning at all. So yes, I'd argue that mentioning it in the last 20% is something I would disagree with.
The dishonesty at full display.Unlocking the Greeks significantly decreases the difficulty of the game.
>>521227526>Like the last example. Without spell unlocks, you'd need to be several NG+ deep to build maxed out divide chains by repeeating the quests. With unlocks, you can quite easily do it in early midgame, before even breaking into parallel worlds.Shops are generated when you generate the chunk they are in so you don't need to go to ng+ to access spells you've unlocked. Using any spell once unlocks them. The way spell generation works is by first generating all spells and then when they actually spawn, check if you are allowed to use this spell, if not, it is generated again by going through a list until a valid spell is selected. So it's completely possible to unlock the greek letter spells and do the coral chest quest and then find divide by and greek letters in the work shops.

>>521179267You need notes. You can keep them onto shelves with the books now though.The biggest things not necessarily obvious is you can pour drinks into glasses so you don't use a bottle each time, and you need only one lesson to level up a skill, no matter the level, if you can fill the other slots with memories, and you can re-read books for the same memory each time.

Is it possible to make a general purpose travel+digging wand faster than this?It's pretty hard to measure how fast you are going when the main cues are the pitch of the jet engine noise and the size of crater you leave when hitting something.
any mods to remove the trannyspeak from Caves of Qud?
>>521242101absolutely yes, it involves abusing recoilbut its generally not worth the trouble and youre better off learning how to do offscreen swap travelalthough there is some tinkering you can do to make it so it digs through solid stuff faster since the teleport wont go off in the same frame the black hole eats whatever youre shooting atand/or you can just get better digging with long distance cast/touch of/mega holes

>>521246296yeahanyone complaining about qud writing is probably functionally illiterate esl
>>521247774You're talking of it as if Metroid didnt just copy paste Wario world moveset & gameplay mechanics and changed a few minor details. But I understand what you mean, I guess it had to do with designing a world in a way that integrate these upgrades in a tengible fashion that doesnt just end up just being a glorified key for specific locks, so to speak. Like its one thing to think up of possible upgrades, its a whole other thing to design a world able to integrate these upgrades in a way that feel natural, you would effectively need to redo the entire game multiple times before you get a real grasp of the potential of each abilities, and retrosatively modify the world design as to implement them in seamless fashion, which is a prospect sinply beyond the scope of gamedev that could be considered indies.

>>521242645No. Trannyspeak comes from gofundme whales.
>>521251439wow I didn't know "xir" was a real english word, I'll have to tell xer and everyxim I know that xey are speaking wrong
>>521251439Nta but using "they/them" for singular rather than plural is cringe worthy if used wantonly, its like a midwit trying to sound wisened but coming off like a moron who is trying to emulate old english sentence structure but failing to understand how to apply it properly. Especially if used in an informal setting.
>>521254154Singular "they" is also used if the gender of the person being talked about is unknown, because saying "he-or-she" a lot is clunky and annoying.
This is more traumatizing than all of the brutally psychotic murders I've committed.

>>521251798I was talking about singular they/them but since you want to go there, tell me what defines a "real" English word? If people are using it and it has meaning to them it's as real as any word in this post, whether we like it or not>>521254154Depends on your definition of "wantonly".It's very hand for situations where the gender of whoever is being revered to is ambiguous or unknown as >>521255486 pointed out. Though I also like to use it with gender neutral words (friend, teacher, user, etc) if the gender of the person I'm talking about is irrelevant

>>521256660>>521257409>>521258441These are all reasonable and proper usage of "they/them", which is obviously not I was referring to in my original post. I meant using them in a context where the gender of that given person is actually known, and therefore its usage shouldnt be taking priority over pronouns which clearly state the gender, if its applicable or warrantable within a given context.

Congrats, you now have a digging wand.Like any other wand in Noita, the basics are very simple despite the potential for extensive autistic tweaking.All you need is a spell with high enough digging strength.If you find luminous drill you can go anywhere. It's fairly common even in the mines.
>>521264945I'll believe it when it's out and not shit.
>>521255978the pestilence
>>521257409>What pronoun are you going to use"your friend"Now fuck off with this queer shit.
i rolled a bunch of shitty dex with my smith background, but it didn't stop my shadow rogue from doing over 100 damage with his sneak attacks. i'm gonna try an orb run next time
>>521258563Would you stop spoiling every single thing from this early access adventure game?
>>521261646they/them was never used for single person, that's tranny propaganda
>>521281898It's used that way multiple times in the Bible, a document thousands of years old.
>>521282348Referring to what, the holy trinity?
fuck. this. guy.At first I didn't considered him a hard fight, he doesnt hit me hard enough and I can probably delete him in 2 or 3 attacks, Until I noticed slowly that I was not getting turns.So he basically forces you into a 1V1, that he has the advantage over because he can fuck up with the turn economy, and essentially not let me get a turn at all.Since the old man comes over if I have low health, he got summoned and I managed to have some very important breathing run to beat him.>There is a second fight and he is strongerFUUUUUUUUUUUU-
>>521282419Didn't remember the exact quotes, had to look it up.
>>521282765it's plural
>>521282765bro it's clearly used because the sex of the person is unknown. it's universal laws bro not some shit. like you bro do you say "their brother" when talking about your wife's brother bro?
>>521282896>no uI provided the evidence, you're free to cover your ears and deny it.>>521283157>it's clearly used because the sex of the person is unknownYes, that's what I'm saying. >>521281898 said it was never used for single person, I was simply showing them otherwise. You guys can argue about that other shit if you want, I just jumped in to say that the singular they has been used throughout history, it's definitely not a new thing.
>>521283653Now show it being used in the bible in same context that we are currently talking about.
>>521283653now prove that the bible talks about indie video games
>>521284017Good point.rlg faggots out
>>521283653>Singular they has been criticised since the mid-18th century by prescriptive commentators who consider it an error.i'm right, you're wrong. you're making an mistake
>>521283949>they/them was never used for single personThat is the context I've been talking about. I don't care about your culture war shit. Language changes over time, but this particular bit has not.>>521284017indie games!
>>521284268Almost all our language and grammar comes from mistakes or people just making shit up. Fun fact, "you" used to be for only the plural, "thou" was the singular. I don't remember the exact timeline, but those commentators would also consider our usage to be an error, give or take a century or two.
Isn't it sad that there are people who actually like Hollow Knights? The game still has tons of bug a decade after its release.
>>521285107This is why "you are" is "you are" and not "you is". Using plural for individuals as a sign of politeness has been a thing for quite literally thousands of years. It's called the T-V distinction, the term originate from Latin but it is still common in French, Italian and Spanish. Historically, German also had a T-V distinction. English, being a Germanic language, also had the T-V distinction for a very long time. It was seen as polite to refer to higher social caste individuals by the third person instead of the second person.
>>521286817>silksong isn't even released yet>filled with bugswhat are they even doing there at team cherry
I've never been this disappointed in my life, piece of shit trash garbage, behead all journo kikes who shilled this crap
>>521288547love when I have absolutely zero context for these kinds of posts
>>521288667Blue Prince, it was one of the most hyped releases of the year, overhyped as a "puzzle game like Outer Wilds", best reviewed game of the year on metacritic so far but it's goddamn roguelike balatro bullshit with no puzzles, steam score is already on "mostly" positive despite all the journo praise
>>521289036>one of the most hyped releases of the yearNEVER FUCKING HEARD OF IT AND IM A PUZZLE FREAK
>>521289036first time I'm hearing about it, is it at least fun but just misleading?
Thinking of biting the Vintage Story pill. How big is the exploration aspect? Dungeon delving in modded Minecraft and POI raiding in 7DtD are my favorite bits of both.
>>521289426It's extremely RNG dependent and repetitive
>>521289036>roguelike outerwildsthats awful, just because the formula for outer wilds is good doesn't mean you can just use it as a backbone for a roguelike
>>521290325...so, a normal roguelike, since all of them are knowledge locked?
>>521289036>hypedShilled* Very clumsily and transparently, at that.
>>521295072No they're not.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOOc1nuk3Ng
>>521298067okay, beat cogmind with no prior knowledge
>>521298834>
>>521282636>There is a second fight and he is strongerThere's three, but you at least get your team for that one.
>>521289114>>521289426I watched a certain Youtuber play the demo a few months ago, from what I saw it looks good and I can see what the other anon is whining about, but on the other hand without spoiling anything it looks like it gets better and easier with meta knowledge progression.Don't watch others play it, play it blind sort of game.
>>521273301>He's not already playing itHow embarrassing...
>>521281898Fascinating.Mentally plusungood people actually fullwise bellyfeel untruths like this as their dogma?
>>521302224Is that the necro's? Nice to see they're still in there
>>521304303YeahThey now only have one "real" city, and your armies can create dens (kind of colonies) everywhere on the map allowing for fast travel
Tried the Tears of Metal playtestIt's fun, although i'm not a muso guy so i have no idea if it's a good one.
>>521222597yep, it's an amazing game but I lost the urge to play around 80% through, and my save was pre-1.0 so it's buggy after the updates maybe i just go back and play more
>>521288547I really feel like i'm missing something here>dude it's INSANE, there are so many layers in that game, i have a PEN and a JOURNAL to keep up with it!>It's just Labyrinth
>>521309349Eight years of development (behind the doors shilling)
>>521309349Game journos gonna journo.Would be fun forcing such wastes of oxygen to play one of those hardcore puzzle JRPGs that actually requires extreme forward thinking.
>>521280614>nuuuu stop talking about videos games in the video game generalNah.
>>521280614It is within your power to stop newfags
Ha, the final boss is out.A snowman with a top hat.Fucking South Park.
THE DOOR TO THE INNER WING OPENSWHAT MONSTERS WILL COME OUT
>>521281898>they/them was never used for single personEven if that were true, it is being used that way now, making it valid language. Prescriptivism is such a stupid way to look at language, doubly so if you're being so selective about it because of your political views. I'd bet money on the fact that you are less strict about other cases of language evolving, though I obviously can't prove it
Ha, yes. The most terrifying monster of all: MANThis game is so deep, truly, we mankind are the actual monsters, polluting the environement, destroying our planet, farting on each others' pillows...So deep, man... so deep...
This is confusing.
Abiotic Factor has its issues, but I really want to bring attention to its impeccable level design. I was genuinely stumped here, until I noticed the fences being damaged.
Another example of cool level design: the door on the right is locked. So take a guess where you gotta go?Okay, maybe it's too obvious and the yellow paint is overkill, but it's so easy in a game to just go forward and not pay attention, better too much than not enough;
Oh no...
Oh noooo... It's Black Friday.
>>521206494Do it
>>521255490Somehow this feels more obscene than if he just had a cock.
>>521311493>jrpg>extreme forward thinkingI don't think those exist. JRPGs are practically defined by linearity.
>>521342040I don't really know what to call the genre, but there are super hard niche japanese puzzle games with superficial JRPG trappings. Completely deterministic grid-based puzzle games not unlike sokoban, but the type of intellect it takes is forward thinking to find a sequence of actions that lets you complete the dungeon level without getting softlocked, rather than sokoban's shorter puzzles demanding spatial intelligence.They aren't often discussed on 4chan because whenever one is brought up, it absolutely filters everyone.
>>521344506Look I get filtered by baba so unless you give me names that might as well be the leprechaun's pot'o'gold.
Monaco 2 just released. I did not expect to see that...
You'll never guess how this fight ends.
The triple I Initiative got me good, bros...
...hi?
>>521299747I let it be and started walking around a bit more.Right now Im kind of lost, not sure which one go for, either doing the escorting mission, the Ye battalion missions, or just explore, I have been trying to get Machinery to level 4 so I can open the tombs chests. If anything right now Im having issues with getting manuals because I only come across blue ones most of the time, none of them for zither, the weapon I have chosen, and since I am in the sect of the old man, I dont know if I can properly leave his sect until I do all the quests of it.
>>521359605I can't really help you with the old man sect because if you don't accept him immediately, he fucks off and never returns and I didn't accept him. I do know / have heard that if you see him through to the end, you get a fantastic internal manual or something.Anything else though feel free to ask away, I've been making a lot of progress, have over half the game's achievements on my first run so far. If you want a huge power boost the main thing is to reach the South West area and don't fuck up your options at all.
>>521348898he really went https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6mi8MFPoog
>>521360940His missions are mostly find out shit or be a decent person beating criminals or similar, He wants me to dismantle the 9 factions activities in the 3 towns, I did chuxiang, Dai liang, the 9 faction in Lin an is the one I have left.>South westFor that area you need a permit from the dukes of the north and east, right? I got it from the Duke of Li ann, The one from Dai liang doesnt want to give it to me yet.
I AM A GENIUS
>>521362420>The one from Dai liang doesnt want to give it to me yet.Pass both imperial scholar examinations, start with chux city answering questions daily at the school five times, then repeat for dai city once you've passed the first examinations.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3026888659Once you do have access through the gate (bring rope and stuff for an important little sidequest on the way), head for the courtyard and side with neither side. Go to the Juili tribe location, dismiss your entire party and pet back to your house, and you can sneak past the entrance guards by starting a battle and running past them at top speed then retreating once in a corner down the path to the left. If you do the bug event with the girl in the main hall you get +2 to a stat for -1 in another, gives +10 toxicology and stops working once you have 100 toxicology. I strongly recommend you dump most of the points into getting Constitution as I've learned now you really want 25 of that if you can help it, and use all your bonus points from levels + pills for Strength to get that to 25 as well. The +2 / -1 thing for Strength lowers Constitution, hence try to avoid having to rely on that.Also do pic related.
>>521364782>Pass the ExamsAh right, the couplets, I forgot those.I can actually take advantage of that by also doing the escort missions to the city and maybe going every once in a while to the auction in either city to get money. thanks for that. Im going to ignore the rest of the message because I kind of want to play as blind as possible tho.
>>521367493>because I kind of want to play as blind as possible tho.I mean, I gave that the good old college try too for the first 50+ hours of the game, but shit's ridiculous and you can fuck up something important for doing something minor out of place ages ago.For example, Confucius temple is really good to join later, best of the big three, but if you've even slightly fucked up in daliang city it's GG and you've locked yourself out permanently unless you find a way to beg the governor to recommend you instead. Something as simple as slightly overcharging for one item when helping out that merchant on the bridge is all it takes.
>>521368908>Something as simple as slightly overcharging for one item when helping out that merchant on the bridge is all it takes.Mmm, F I guess. Even then I want to organically fuck up or find out by myself the problems. I am going to use the guide for the couplet matching at least, I remember coming across the mute grandma and her riddles and me just standing there wondering wtf was the logic here until I mentioned it to a friend and confirmed me this was a Hanzi/chinese specific riddle and just savescum/use the guide to go through it unless i wanted to start learning chinese.
>>521369718>Mmm, F I guess.Yeah, that was also my one fuckup and I assume most players did the same thing not realising how important it is. There at least is an alt method to join so it's not super permanent but feels bad man. Fukken esoteric chinks, I like their game style sure but damn can they be punishing for the smallest mistake.
NIGGERS
>>521370461F, go outside and touch grass instead I guess.Literally, in game.
Any neat strategy game for a possible tard? is xcom good? i want to start playing some more man games
>>521374769>Strategy for retardsMay i introduce you to Thronefall
>>521374769>is xcom good?No, it's either the best or the worst. Depending on whether you mean og xcom or nuxcom.
After playing the game quite a lot and finally completing the gauntlet, I think I've experienced enough of the demo.It's surprising how consistent you can get with experience considering it's an incredibly floppy physics game. They just need to fix blades semi-regularly phasing through armor into your organs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcTZh6dKB0gI'm like 95% done making a pretty cool 2D strategy/action game called Hellbirther. The game is free and I encourage people to try it out now. My first ever actual game. It's inspired by Ace Combat and a little bit by other series like Battlefield. Essentially you control a drone walking tank remotely from afar and blow shit up to unlock new abilities/skins/etc. There's a main campaign storyline where demons invade the planet, and other modes just for fun. The campaign has 13 missions currently with at least 5 more coming in the future. Been working on it solo since November 2021 and I really appreciate every single person that takes the time to try it out.
>>521370461I sure hope you didn't pay for this trash.
>>521376153with og xcom being the worst and nuxcom being the best
>>521379795Yes yes, let's get you back in the home grandpa.
>>521247264I kinda did too, despite its deep flaws. Couldn't be bothered to do the rot ending, though. Got too many other games to play.>>521302224My fellow NecrophageGOD,Amplitude's Craver deathsquad is rapidly approaching your location.
>>521383907Stop encouraging scammers you fucking retard.
>>521380741nuCOM doesn't have mods that let you be big-titty pirates that kidnap shotas and commit nuclear war crimes so it's automatically worse.
>>521388139it also has a dull combat and dumbed down systems but why are you even responding to lazy unoriginal bait
