First for lolicons.
>>537197516>Pillars of EternityWhat's that one? Name is vaguely familiar.
>>537198912
>>537197516Just a 5 and a half days left.
I suddenly remembered that Deathtrap Dungeon was a game that existed.I don't suppose any of you blokes got a modern game that has the same vibe, but with better controls and less "die and retry" bullshit?
>>537205748WHERE ARE THE TESLA COILS
Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
>>537207565If you're wondering where to find these mats, id recommend checkout the containment area, like you recall how Cahn or whatever is name is told you to unlock the doors? His wasnt the only one that got unlocked.
>>537211898More like I'm confused at what "digital gold" is. But yeah, they improved the PDA, now it shows exactly what ressources to get from each world.
I'm trying to enjoy AI War 2, but god damn the AI is, ironically, really fucking stupid. Weak ships are more than happy to dive out of the forcefield bubble and get instantly vaporized, but if I enable stop-to-shoot, they'll stop before they're even in range and just sit there doing nothing while getting pummeled.
>>537197516>Not "Silksong Edition"You had one job anon. We could use the injection of extra traffic from people seeing it in the catalogue.>but too much silksongposting is annoying and its going to get its own general and...Temporary. Long term, a few more people visiting the thread, liking what they see, and deciding to come back would be a good thing.
>>537198208It's a cRPG, like Planescape Torment or the Pathfinder games.
I want the RoboCop devs to make a Toxic Avenger game
live
>>537183392Yes, watching. I dislike playing puzzle games myself but I enjoy watching others play them.
Straftat is in such a great situation right now, go play it if you like arena shooters>recent enough for people to generally know the maps and what guns do, but not old enough for 200+ hour veterans to rape everything>great balance of gimmick and skill weapons>playerbase doesn't treat it like a shitty competitive sport and you will often run into guys just having fun and using unconventional strategies>huge map variety, every individual one being unique gameplay-wise>just enough jank to keep it funny>it's free, you can always find a lobby
>>537212157Im trying to send you the correct way without spoiling too much, as half the fun of the game is exploring and discovering stuff, but I was at my wits end as to where to find that same mat you're looking for
>>537232363...why? what innate need does this craving fullfil?this is so stupid
>>537238480NTA but i can enjoy watching someone else's reasoning and problem solving.
Petting Black Phillip.
>>537214928>We could use the injection of extra traffic from people seeing it in the catalogue.Trust me, you don't want the kind of retard that hype and bandwagon that kind of shit.
>>537206649one's behind the barricade on the right, and the other in the corridor on the left leading out of the pool area
>>537238480nta but i enjoy playing very very few games. ive probably spent 10x hours watching other people play games as i do actually playing them. blue prince was the same way for me. it looked super interesting so i tried it but immediately bounced off and just watched nl vods instead.
god, i am in a thread where people don't actually play games, aren't i?
>>537205748That's a nice base location, I've considered building there too
>In the mood for survivalcraft slop>find one that looks decent>reviews: mixedFuck it, I might just buy No Man's Sky, if this goes on...then again considering Silksong is next week maybe it's just a waste of money either way
>>537243516Depends on the day. I feel people do play games more often than not, but there are a few characters I can think of, who you can easily trigger into schizo posting for a bit. Though some of it is at least game related
>>537243698Try Empyrion before No Man's Sky if you haven't yet.
>>537243885Interesting, I'll consider it.Thing is I'm just not a fan of procedural generation in these types of games. I'd take a single solar system game with lots of handcrafted content plus some procedural filler that would probably be necessary to make it work over a million billion planets any day.It's fine for games like factorio or Vintage Story, where the goal is less on exploration and more on building your base at least for me. But when watching someone play Starfield for example I couldn't help but notice how none of the places felt "real".Case in point Satisfactory has a handcrafted world but I honestly couldn't care less, since exploration isn't the goal of that game.
>>537244206Empyrion (especially modded) has a shit ton of handcrafted POIs to raid and explore on different planets, unlike NMS where literally every planet has the same POIs and every planet feels samey due to no meaningful gameplay mechanics and limitations.Empyrion is also pretty big on basebuilding, since you build vessels out of lego blocks including your capital ship that's your primary home and does everything. In a sense basebuilding is far more important than in MC/VS. In those games a dirt hovel is sufficient and the rest is just aesthetics without function.
>>537244206Maybe try the Minecraft modpack Blightfall? Exploration and base building in equal measure, on a handcrafted world.
>>537215292Haaa, now I remember... Isn't it the one where you take over a fortress? It sounded really fun until I learned that gold was a finite ressource.>>537242478Good man. Tesla coils are awesome.
>>537238480Some games I enjoy playing, some games I enjoy watching. Mostly I like playing strategy as there's lots of nuance and room for me to do things my way and still win, but I dislike playing puzzles because there's just one correct way to win and the rest are wrong.
>>537254886play a zachtronics game
>>537243516I play games sometimes.
>>537254886I get you. I love tactical games, but I'm atrocious at them.
>>537255364I've sort of half considered Opus Magnum for a while now, but it's still not really open ended enough for me and there's still too much of a 'correct solution' to it for my liking.If you put it in front of me and I had literally nothing else to do I'd play it, but I don't think I'd ever get around to it naturally.
>>537255482more like this
>>537255482how many of those 184 games did you finish?
>>53725823418I tend to pirate anything that looks anyway interesting and try it. they're usually not worth finishing.

>>537259913I'd pirate you anon. no way im paying money :^)
>new mgs3 remake on mgs5 engine>Its over a 100$ with taxes and dlc on launchShit must be like 200 gb or someshit too. Will wait a while and pirate.As an unrelated sidenote, im kind of shocked how good vintage story is, like superficially its a minecraft clone but the mechanics within and their interactions were a breath of fresh air, the prospecting reminded me of the good ol days back when I learned how to do triangulation on a map and the depths of thing was surprising, liked how you have to do multiple things to unlock metal forging, every new addition to your base feel like an actual upgrade or improvement.
>>537261791Vintage Story is excellent at making you feel like you're progressing.

>>537263202I like to grind one game to dust rather than hop between games for a few minutes.
persona 5 at 24€ eheh oh oh I'm not paying for that trash
>>537264476It's been almost 10 years, how about persona 6
>>537264476Why don't you want to play it?
>>537264787playing isn't buying
>>537265607Why don't you want to pay for it, other than being jewish?
>>537265903that's a lot of money for a 10 year old game made by atlus
>>537266202It's the fairly recent PC port, and the expanded version with all DLC and optional extras you'd have had to pay for on console at that.
>>537264787What is Persona even about? All I know is that it has been running for a long time, peoples shoot themselves all the time for some reason and you fight oc donut steel version of mythological beings, both from real life religion and fictional literary verse.
>>537270905its an anthology like final fantasy where each game does its own thing, shooting yourself only happens in P3. but generally yeah its about living a double life as a regular guy who goes to school but also has to fight demons using his persona, a manifestation of your psyche which is based on mythos and fiction. its half "slice of life sim visual novel" and half "JRPG where you kill god"
I have 600 hours almost in my summer car and my god no other driving game has felt this good
>>537270905>What is Persona even about?JRPG set in modern times, typically you're acting as a hidden force for good using "personas", aka literally summoning manifestations of your personality and spirit represented as mythological creatures and figures, and a giant cock riding a chariot, in order to fight some evil force that usually winds up in you fighting god or something by the end of it. Technically anybody can awaken their persona and fight but most don't.Shooting yourself is only in the 3rd game and it's not *actually* shooting yourself that's just how they summon their persona there.It's really fun. Only played P3, P4 and P5, but the improvement between them is noticeable, P5 especially is really fucking good.
>>537266434fair enough
gonna need an indie bump, bros
>>537270905It's a game where you play as a teenager and at night you go do teenager stuff like shooting yourself, jumping in TVs or armed robbery. But it's ok because you're the hero. Also you're friend with igor from frankenstein and you use stands like a jojo character except they're demon except they're not they're actually the idea of demons in the collective unconsciousness except some are not demons they're just fictional characters. Also the butterflies are watching...
>>537298630That's not an inaccurate description, technically.
>>537286668This game seems like a cross between Noita and Soldat, with some minor rpg elements to it?
>>537297081bump
Damn, I've been sick for the past few days and spent most of my time in bed, on my Phone or in front of my PC.My reward chemical levels are absolutely fucked, I have all this free time but none of the games I boot up fulfill me and I don't even really have the urge to buy/pirate a new one to try though maybe that's just because I know I'll drop it as soon as Silksong comes outI've had this before so I know it will stabilize, but fuck me this sucks.
Boy I sure hope my modded VS save won't blow up when migrating to 1.21. I will never get a seed this good again.
>>537319212What seed
>>537319212>I will never get a seed this good againRIP my seed I had to leave behind because it was from a a version old enough where the world generation had become really funky at the edges between old and new chunks.I had more Terra Preta than I knew what to do with. I almost paved over a huge patch without noticing, when building my house.Not to mention the surface limestone layer not very far away.Good times
>>537298630This some Secret World shit?
>>537322508Basically yes.
>>537322508>started playing Secret World today>see this post

One day I'll finish this game.Once I completed the cookbook and raised my cooking to maximum.

Well-cooked tartine!

Less is more
Got me some French fries.
>>537309315no, it's more of a soldat but tactical and with a lot more physicsttks are very low and it's easy to die in open areas, so you have to use everything for your advantage, while weapons have recoil patterns based on how they actually push the gun hitbox in your handsthe only real progression is unlocking additional characters by swapping into them mid-level
>>537337341Funny how you can satiate thirst with salty fries, while chips from vending machine make you more thirsty.
>>537346196...heh? Fucking hell, now I'm going to notice it everytime, damn you.Also I assume chips have 3x the salt these fries have.
I don't understand why people aren't more enthusiastic about cooking in these games.Am I the only one who finds cooking fun?
>>537349490Food and water in most survivalcraft games is just busywork. I will always fill the meter with as little effort as possible unless there is a very significant reason to make something better, and I don't have to go too far out of my way to get it
>>537214928>You had one job anonI already added silksong doe
Are noita-inspired games with bizzare stylistic choices about going into a deep hole that look incomprehensible unless you're playing them the next big thing?
why can't sts2 just come out already. how long can it possibly take to develop a game with flash animations where you just click on cards

>>537364573you can't balance a game like that in house. you can only balance it after you ship it and let thousands of people throw every combination of card and relic up against every possible encounter and just watching what happens.
Is there a way to download workshop mods in this day and age?Workshop downloader fails for most (all?) games due to steamworks API being a nigger.Smods apparently no longer works, the AWS instance hosting the files just returns a no key error.
>>537367448Workshop downloader works for me, it's just hit or miss because anonymous downloads are a per-game basis and the devs have to opt in to it. Smods is also working fine. Checked them both as I was typing this.Sounds like you're just having a skill issue.
Alright, what one of you mentioned Space Station 14 (& 13) last thread? I recently picked it up too and holy shit, I can't stop playing it, don't have any good clips to share though. Unique in a crazy good way, rounds can be insanely tense, insanely funny, or very memorable in other ways. Theres so much stuff that can go wrong that makes it exciting.What I like about the game is that it's gatekept not by it's players, but by it's mechanics. Have never, ever played a game like this, I've been relentlessly watching tutorial videos, testing out stuff in a SP server, and reading the wiki. There's not a learning curve, there's a learning cliff face, seems to filter out most of the tards. You really, REALLY gotta study up on the games mechanics and systemsThough there's still the they/them crazies and SJW babies to content with, it's not in your face, if you're not some stunted /pol/ack you should be able to ignore it. Plus, the main devs don't seem to be fans of ERP so those degenerates get weeded out. Though I'm hesitant to recommend it because of the sheer scale of learning the game, still very enjoyable.>>537367448WorkshopDL , used it a few months back and it worked hassle free, should still be good nowhttps://github.com/imwaitingnow/WorkshopDL
>>537369706Try out shaft miner and try to learn how to consistently kill all of the megafauna in one shift with the both the pkc and the crusher. There is no feeling quite like killing bubblegum for the first time after having died so many times before

>>537364573>but want to beat Tiberium sun.I want to re-beat TS: Firestorm, but whenever I try I get to about mission 4 and then go play something else and never return to it.
>>537371927Watered down, oversimplified job simulator at thatYou don't have:>proper intents that are replaced by shitty combat mode that completely destroyed the depth of unarmed fights (combat-focused servers used to have 4 intents + 4 combat stances + blocks/dodge switch + character specific combat abilities)>watered down engineering that barely has any real consequences if you fuck it up. servers used to have 3-4 different power generation methods, that could always be assembled from the ground up, heavily modified and sometimes even combined (e.g. SM to TEG gas exchange) with a complex wiring system (32 individual states in which every piece of wire could be, with multiple wires per tile)>non-existent station lethals for sec that completely kill any kind of suspense of doing crime because you know that shitsecs literally can't kill you lol>bay virology (5 stage viruses with dozens of different effects that require specific actions and knowledge in order to create lethal or helpful infections) or tg botanics (growing intelligent trees that are controlled by other players as your servants or selecting a fruit that instantly stops your heart if consumed). if you have those - they're extremely oversimplified and nerfed to disallow fun>extremely boring sci that doesn't actually require you to acquire any rare materials for research, do actual experiments or disassembling alien technology. it's just an idle game that makes numbers go up>maxcaps nerfed and designed specifically in a way to make them impossible to make without notifying admins>no integrated circuits that allowed you to create absolutely insane shit like fully automated drones with custom logic, simple computers or smart bombs>simplified cloning and medicine that makes bringing players back extremely easy and not resource intensive, further diminishing the risks of permanently leaving the round>all races are now practically reskinned humans with almost no special traits
I might be retarded.I regularly feel the urge to play an ARPG to grind for shiny loot and see number go up, but every time I do, I lose interest immediately and think that maybe ARPG just isn't my genre
>>537373721Try incremental/idle games
Man, I would love to start a forever world in Vintage story where I can dedicate my time to stupid megaprojects and stuff. But the fact that any update that changes the worldgen could fuck me over makes me a little anxious about that.
>>537374578I've wanted to try a playthrough with much harder settings and longer months, but the game balance just doesn't seem to be made for it. I imagine that I'd get to steel super fast and then wait for absolute ages for the first winter with the best gear and then get bored. I could set durability lower, increase food requirements, fuck with spoilage time, and more, but I feel like it would just increase tedium rather than meaningfully make the game harder. I've never had the creativity or drive in any game to make a "nice" looking base or build things just for the sake of building them. I'd always use cheesy tactics and bare-minimum effort almost every way. Am I supposed to pretend I don't know the best way to do things and purposefully gimp myself, to make up arbitrary checklists of things I need to do before I am allowed to progress? How the hell do you guys play games like vintage story or even minecraft and decide to keep playing long after you've gotten the best gear, a functional base, etc?
>>537375209Yeah, I'm sad how fast you can progress after your first playthrough, once you know what you're doing.On my current world I've decided to stick at least a year with each "tech level" so I won't bother with copper until at least next in-game spring, so I can focus on agriculture and maybe build a mound as a megastructure for fun.Also I want to migrate every time I get enough new tech, just because I hate tearing down old builds but also don't want my bronze age mudhut next to my medieval cottage.>with much harder settings and longer monthsmaybe just settle in harsher climates if you want a challenge?>make up arbitrary checklists of things I need to do before I am allowed to progress?>How the hell do you guys play games like vintage story or even minecraft and decide to keep playing long after you've gotten the best gear, a functional base, etc?I mean it is a mindset thing I think. I totally get if that's not your thing, but I derive a lot of fun from making nice looking and time period appropriate bases and sacrifice functionality for aesthetics.Though I'm glad about how VS at least has more incentive to build stuff over MC. Like in Minecraft at least when I played in Beta 1.7 you could get a functional base in a 3x3 square plus any room you need for storage. Everyhting beyond that was just you being creative for shits and giggles.But in VS if you build a blacksmithy, it has an actual purpose, since all the crafting stations, molds etc do take up space so it does make sense to build an extra room or building for that.
>>537373721>>537374542Is there a good arpg/roguelike? I used to do "ironman"s all the time in Diablo 2 before I knew what a roguelike was, before the concept existed. A game that had that kind of gameplay loop would be crazy if done well.
>>537270905Shing megame tensei, as far as I know, was a series of games about demons and gods in eire dystopian urban scenarios where they have became common place.Then, someone had the brillant idea of a making a jrpg about teens going on adventures in everyday urban scenarios to appeal to kids, they adapted the SMT lore to it, gave superpowers to the teenager characthers and slapped pop songs all over it. Many of the supernatural demons based on mythos from SMT, now are materializations of some characther personality that can be summoned by the teens like stands in Jojo bizarre adventure.
>>537362507You can construct mobile bases and fly them around damn
It's been a fat minute, but I finally have green circuits up more or less. Still following my restrictions but now I'm at this point, going to tighten them up again soon.
>>537385138Not so much construct as 'throw together' with the grace of a shitflingerNever got the "thrusters" to work
I'm being filtered by A4 on al characters no matter how I go about it
>>537386225>spoilerthey work fine for me, but some turrets are extremely heavy so if you have like 20 walls - you'll need a lot of them
>>537376298To be honest copper should be a priority just because of the access to pickaxes, also mining is a good way to pass time during winter because you dont freeze to death in caverns or underground due to higher ambient temperature, and even simple copper armor is better than nothing if you try to hunt bigger animals like bears or mooses. It just unlock so much stuff that are just a straight up improvement. Aint for no reason copper forging took off so quickly during the early bronze age.

>>537386006Work in progress, automating chips and starting to make real progress on my goal. Missing plastic was hurting me for ages.
>>537394930Of course of course. But it's a bit of a self imposed challenge type thing.I just found out that my save is soft-fucked by the new update anyways. So it looks like I might be restarting anyways.Everything seems to be perfectly fine, it's just that it's a little obvious which parts where generated before and after the update and it looks kinda ass.I could mess around with pruning some chunks to try and fix it but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.
>>537405494Also don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort the devs put into smoothing out transitions like this, instead of it just being a hard cut-off or the update just breaking your save, but there's only so much they can do
>>537323280>>537323506Yeah, Legends still has its servers and it's still a pretty decent game: More a tps sort of MMO than the old TSW "wait for cooldowns" WoW fare. If you have one or two buddies to co-op it up with I'd even say playing through the campaign and zones are a splendid use of your time.

>>537197516I played Hollow Knight for a few hours the other day, for the first time. I had this problem where every little bit, maybe every 10 minutes, but it seemed exacerbated by getting hit, but would also certainly happen randomly without being hit, my controller would just stop giving inputs. I'd unplug it and plug it back in and it would work again. It wouldn't make a USB disconnected sound or anything. I almost died a couple times because of it.

>>537410478>minor minimap annoyanceI guess, but it also looks kinda bad when you go there in person and the terrain changes quite suddenly.Also the whole reason I settled at that place was that there was a big ocean to the west, now a big chunk of it is filled with land

>>537369706>what one of you mentioned Space Station 14 (& 13) last thread? That was me, assuming you're playing 14 given you mentioned the devs dislike ERP. You're very right about the game having a crazy learning curve too, I've played it for awhile now and I still have yet to try medical as all the chemicals and dosages make me freeze up. Security is nothing compared to med despite what people say, convinced most people who play medical are actual doctors or chemists lol.If you're just coming to master the games mechanics and systems, I'd recommend trying engineering, or security, or both. Sec is more RP focused but you gotta be half decent at combat and can't be some guns blazing tool that gets the whole department labeled as shitsec, and engi is fairly complex top but not as bad as medical, gotta keep track of the power and specific wires and the atmosphere if you take that role.

Since the new patch came out just a few days ago so all the mods still need to update.But I'm keeping my eyes peeled for when the expanded foods mod updates and will probably start a new run then>wine and grapesIsn't that in the base game, or am I misremembering?

Not proper grapes wine.>Since the new patch came out just a few days ago so all the mods still need to update.Anything worth replaying? I got kinda burned out due to prospecting for borax and lime last time.I swear the weakest part of the game is prospecting. Hated it in TFC hate it here.
>>537418404Depending on when you played last. You can now build a sailboat and also tame deer, so I'm looking forward to using those to migrate long distances over the course of my playthrough
>>537419091>and also tame deerYou still need to do retarded things to tame animals?I still remember trying to fence in chickens, only to have them despawn 3 generations in. Made me rage pretty good
>>537419495https://youtu.be/wsyy8pziGLI?t=68Apparently you can trap it in a box.Honestly that's my biggest issue with animal husbandry, that you can't capture or lure them and it's just a huge pain in the ass to get them to your enclosure>only to have them despawn 3 generations inThat sounds like a bug desu, don't think that should be happening
>>537243698Enshrouded was pretty alright
>>537414830FULL RELEASE IN 30 DAYS
>>537243698>survivalcraft slopList of recently played survivalcraft slop that I played and is very good to okay:>IcarusRetarded setting, but charming. Addictive gameplay loop, both in roguelite and persistent world modes. Reminder that only 3 DLCs offer actual game content and the other DLCs are just decoration.>7DTDThey turned it into some kind of roguelite mission based looting minigame, kinda meh and crafting recipes are a pain until you dump some hours into the game.>Len's IslandLooks good on paper, kinda meh and uninspired gameplay loop and settings.>Force of Nature 1 and 2Very addictive gameplay loop, 2 maybe be longer than 1 and grinding in turned to eleven. But lots of QoL stuff and nice setting.>NightingaleVery nice setting. Okay gameplay loop carried by its art and design.>ValheimDon't understand the hype. Gameplay loop is very gated, building is meh and graphics are doodoo. Still enjoyable though.>>537420209Does the box work with chickens and pigs? If so hype if not shit. I can't be fucking asked to fence in chickens again.
>>537421421>Does the box work with chickens and pigs?We've had basket traps since two updates ago for small animals including piglets. The box was added for the big ones.
Am I allowed here?
>>537421421>Icarus>Retarded settingYeah that's what's been putting me off for the longest time, but maybe I'll finally bite. I just always thought it's a "your ship has crashed" type game and that's where the high to low-tech blend comes from. Was a bit disappointed to find out it's because you can't afford more high tech>Nightingalehehe, that's the on I was referencing in my original post. I've been vaguely interested in it since the first trailer, just not sure if it's worth my time and the mixed reviews aren't exactly encouraging.>ValheimNever quite clicked with me and also I'm the guy who constantly posts about not liking procedurally generated worlds in these types of games so that's been blocking me from playing that game too. I even got Enshrouded thinking it's similar enough to Valheim but with a handcrafted map, but that game has all sorts of issues to be honest.>graphics are doodooI disagree on this thoughNever heard of the other ones, I'll take a look
The mobile port made the wise decision of giving her a perpetual angry bitch face that matches her voice and attitude
>>537425880>mobile porthow bad is it?
>>537425124No.
>>537420337Did the water update they released give the game some depth? Most common critique I hear about Enshrouded is it's lack of depth
>>537425518>Yeah that's what's been putting me off for the longest time, but maybe I'll finally bite.Out of all the ones I recommended, I have more hours played in Icarus and Force of Nature 2. The maps are beautiful and handcrafted in Icarus, no procedurally generated.I really really recommend Icarus if you like open world survival slop.>I'm the guy who constantly posts about not liking procedurally generated worlds in these types of gamesThis genre practically gives itself to procgen worlds.Also some more I played but earlier this year.>RaftYou WILL get tired of fishing for resources. If you can stomach that it is a novel twist to the survival genre. Hope you like the sea.>Forever SkiesIt lags as fuck for some reason. Didn't finished it. Very few POIs so they are recycled a lot. Kinda meh. But the idea was good, maybe future updates makes it not lag as fuck.>Nova LandsIs survivalcraft enough to warrant a play. It is small and cute with a rather grindy mid to late game. Worth a pirate.Post any other open world survival craft slop and we will see if I played it, and if not is always nice to add more of these games to my endless backlog.
>>537426141A lot of the difficulty removed due the need to streamline the experience, you can still do things out of order but with less freedom than on PC, alot of Disco Elysium's content is segmented in "levels", meeting cuno is content that is tied to the hanged man level, as long as you are in that level you can't explore, while the day one exploration content is a level in it of itself and once is done, unless it's plot relevant you can't wander around again you just skip right into the content without travelTorque dork for example (the thought) is unlocked just by picking the physical build and interacting with Kim's car.The art also is less... bizarre? Because the PC game has the 3d world to give you a look of how characters look normally, they can use weird ass portraits, here everyone is depicted "properly" to how they actually look like
>>537426141Not a bad game for what it is, in its defense, it's not even the real og disco elysium, but a cash-in on the normie demographic, it's not even sanitized
>>537427191>>Raft>You WILL get tired of fishing for resources.It's not that bad once you get a few nets on your raft. After that you only really need your hook for digging underwater. But, yeah the early game sucks.>>537425518>Sims 2: CastawayI played it ages ago, so it may or may not be as good as I remember. Biggest issue I remember is the load times, but since you would need an emulator to play it these days, it doesn't matter.Also I could never figure out plumbing.
Your not a REAL man unless women are afraid of you
>>537427191>I really really recommend Icarus if you like open world survival slop.Noted>This genre practically gives itself to procgen worldsYeah I definitely see the appeal, but since The Forest and Subnautica are my entry to the genre (and the only games in it I've played), unless you count Minecraft and Vintage Story, I guess, I maybe just set myself to feeling like that should be the norm not the exception.>RaftI've almost bought it on a few occasions but it's the thing you said, I wondered if it wouldn't get boring too quickly since I assume you're literally stuck in your base for the majority of the game. Then again maybe that's the point if it drives you to constantly tweak your raft until it's the best it can be>Forever SkiesRecently tried and refunded it. I was really put off by how blocky and ugly your airship looks. I don't think I blame the devs, I can't imagine it being easy making a modular building system for a vehicle like that, but it still didn't quite click for me.Which is unfortunate because I really like the concept of mobile bases. I was absolutely in love with the big sub in subnautica.
>Now in 2D!
Anyone else playing Reformed Cultist Simulator?
>>537431127https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198062644218/recommended/2915380/#developer_responseWill check it in 2 to 3 months and see if it is still alive by then. I'm too smoothbrain for cultist sim even if I like it, this one may actually kill me.
>>537419091>Taming deerPretty sure that IRL you cant really tame a deer, they're just too big and brainless. Like imagine a wild hare the size of a small horse, now try to contain that, the enclose would basically be a 20 feet high pallisade. Probably higher, as I worked with european fallow deers as to cut their woods (it was in a safari where we had to transfer them to a winter enclose and for it to be safer for them we needed to cut their antlers lets they would gore each others in panic, in fact the year I worked there 2 died from goring during the process) and these guys, which mind you are about half the size of whitetail deer (basically the deer everyone in NA know) l would jump so high they'd be able to put their head over the corridor walls to the squeeze chute, which was a good 12 feet above ground.Like you could bait it into semi-tameable status, but they could easily escape anytime.
>>537431127>meters and bars and ui numbers instead of just the cardsboooooooo
>>537429950that's fucked up
>>537431127Sounds extremely "cozy"
>>537432771My bad, I confused them with ElksPeople like the Sámi used them as beasts of burden I believe but I could be quite wrong, have barely looked into this
>>537432289That reviewer is definitely mistaking skill issue for game design flaw if he's getting roadblocked on the first expedition and fretting over criminal rep. Even if the player doesn't take any measures to hide illicit material, the rate criminal rep builds up is so slow that it would take in-game weeks (tens of hours real time) of non-stop failure to reach a state where the Inquisitor will consider imprisoning you. It's nothing like Cultist Simulator, where the game overs can kind of sneak up on you, especially if you're new. I feel like this reviewer got a little 'tistic about the crime rep, and that the "game over" state he reached after failing the first expedition is that he just gave up.Probably still a smart move on your part to hold off for more polishing though. Compared to Cultist Simulator, there's less difficulty in decoding the narrative or figuring out the esoteric systems at play, but there's far more resource management and growth management, almost like a city builder or colony sim.
>>537427191>force of nature 2Tried this one, just feeling filtered. It's just boring.
>>537432771Reindeer are the domesticated breed of deer, both male and female have antlers too
>>537435097The Sami still do, from helicopters and ATVs plus a bunch of special treatment laws
Done with GoldenheartHonestly it's okay but the last part while waaay more interesing that the rest of the game is also harder and more bullshit-yAlso i was surprised by the endings: The seemingly "Moral Good" one has you stuck wageslaving while the "Selfish" one has you saving the land and going back to being a traveller
>>537360975What game?
God, I really need some kind of fun sandbox game but I feel like I played all of the interesting stuff already.
>>537442582If you can read this, return to class.
>>537443339I didn't want to walk to my computer.

>>537425880The first time you meet her, she's buttering you up to get as much information as she can so looking angry wouldn't fit.
>>537443339Bert-chan kawaii>>537444170>Dragonswilds?I generally don't play early access. The only one I did was Valheim and it turned out to be meh.
>>537444170It's got that no-budget atmosphere
FTL, Vintage Story, or CoE5. Which should I waste my time on.
>>537444170The way Grazella has been milking R-Type tells me we're not gonna see Disaster Report 5 anytime soon
>>537447028Vintage Story just got un update. Also there's a !not40k FTL clone that looks fun.What is CoE5?
>>537447663Conquest of Elysium. Autistic fantasy wargame, sister series to Dominions. ~20 factions with wildly varied playstyles, half of them can summon some kind of god to kaiju-fight the other guy's god. The only game where you can larp as the Romans and cut a path through a horde of necromancer hobbits to stop the catholics from breaking the seven seals and unleashing armageddon and get back in time to deal with the half-naked women and their armies of moose that are stealing all your cities.Also the dwarves are bugs.
>>537447028CoE5. The Guildmasters are fucking awesome.
>>537448852Sounds like you've played them all already.Waste some time in Endless Legend instead
The Dread Delusion dev is working on a turn-based RPGhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3940340/Entropy/
>>537448852>Autistic fantasy wargameYou mean SOVL, or another?
>>537450917Tis but a flesh wound
Oh yeah, because it's a mobile game it has this new feature for thoughts, the game uses NOTIFICATION technology, to run the thoughts timer in the background, that way you can eat a pizza and watch anime while your thoughts are being internalized.
>>537431127I liked Cultist Simulator in spite of itself so I'll definitely check this out. Still need to get around to playing Book of Hours first since that apparently fixes a lot of problems I had with the first game anyway.
>>537444170>How was the beat em up he did?Was alright, probably more fun multiplayer but I don't know off hand if they ever got the online working.
>>537444170I literally never beat the second stage of this game.
>>537439871Reindeer, while ill admit are indeed cervidea related to the whitetail deer, are a specific case, as they are far more adapted to tundra environment (aka environment that are generally very flat, a mix of grass land and very thick coniferous forests) so they are less prone to jump over things in their path. But I cannot deny the job done by the Saami are commendable and impressive, they effectively managed to semi-tame cervideas, like honestly I'm genuinely impressed.

>>537452278There is something familiar about that look, or rather, that expression.>>537462243>>537439871Very interesting, but I doen't think this discussion is relevant. Might want to rein it in a little. We should talk about something elks.
>>537471478It's an expression of pain
>>537472565sucks to be him
is voices of the void a furry game?
Well, I got the slug ending. That's one more thing ticked off the checklist.Meh.
>>537489908Well that's a "fuck you" if I saw one.
>>537493351A win's a win.
>>537489908Slugs gonna slug.
im giving up on rusted moss. the gameplay was fun and i enjoyed the story but im so sick of metroidvanias and the combat was such a drag. i only picked up this one because the atmosphere is cool and i love umihara kawase, but those weren't enough to get me to bother finishing.>>537233459love me straftat
>>537495176Try the instagib lobbies
>>537386723How many hours you got? I got my first heart kill at 40 hr in with defect
I want to start an island-locked save in Vintage Story to encourage building and using the new boatsBut I'm afraid I'll grow too tired of just islands too quickly and the worldgen probably isn't nuanced enough to allow me no generate a world that lets me start on an island group in a big ocean, but also has some big continent I could reach.I think it's either or
>>537506045This kind of stuff honestly sounds like a cool use for language models in the medium term future.I hate how companies want to shoehorn that shit wherever it fits because it's the new trend, but I think describing the kind of world you would want to generate in a survival game in natural language and have it spit out some world generation settings for you would be an actually cool usecase
>>537506213I have a distinct memory of being a retard and typing "jungle island" into a minecraft seed and actually getting one
>>537506783How is that retarded?
>>537509573
>>537509829Yeah, but letters and even space influence the seed, so it still works, right? They don't have to be numbers, correctamundo?
>>537510058Yes, it converts them to a number value anyways
>>537506045Fuck man. I'm too stuck in analysis paralysis of finding a good enough seed. I think I'll just give up on the idea and generate a normal world. Maybe bump up the ocean setting a little and that should be good enough
>>537510573Oooooh... Well, a very minor mystery is cleared now.
bump
>Remember Valdis story is a thing>Wow, that was a poorly designed game>See the same devs made a brawler>Assume the combat will be good, like Valdis, and since they've had a literal decade to improve, its design won't be ass-backwards>The combat is worse>The boss fights (the one thing Valdis did right) are the worst I've ever seen in a brawler>The design choices are even more actively maliciousIts no wonder these guys games don't sell at all. Its impressive just how far out of the way they go to make every single aspect bad.
>>537530896what game? I just see some tactics game.
>>537530896>design choices are even more actively malicious?
>>537531190>>537531287Wendigo blue. Gotta go to work, then I'll come home, refund it and list some of its absurd design choices.
>>537531364>Wendigo blueoh, they dropped "games" for some reason.
>>537531364I appreciate it, I'm curious what "design choices" can be malicious. Stuff like putting the checkpoint way away from the gauntlet preceding a boss?
>>537532478https://steamcommunity.com/app/3359390/discussions/0/598536186508934275/Looks like someone already wrote up a list.
Which boards/threads should I be checking for silksong info once it releases?Mostly looking to talk with people while playing.
>>537534340/v/ if you want to hear how shit and overhyped it is
>>537534480nothing slower?
>>537534792Make a general here for the day then, let /v/ shitpost
>>537404539Not happy at all with my blue science "setup", but there's really no good way to do quality Sulphur. This is all working okay as a proof of concept for my eventual Nauvis base, at least.
>>537534907I suppose I will try. I quit discord a year ago because it wasn't good for my mental health, and still haven't found any other place to play vidya alongside other people.Thanks!
>>537534792I was being a little tongue in cheek is that how you use that expression? I'm ETL, I have no fucking clue we'll probably talk about it here though I won't be surprised if it will have its own general for the first few weeks
>>537535219Crammed nigger science in there too for good measure. Guess I'll take care of Green and Red too since they'll be trivial to doI have absolutely no fucking clue how to make this all neat and orderly.
>>537539723what's up with the racism?
>>537539818It's black, steals a lot of materials and isn't good for much.
I pirated Hollow Knight and played it for 2 hours before realizing I've owned it on Steam since 2019...Did I miss any Steam cheevos???
>>537552002maybe but you can probably get back to where you were in 30 minutes or so now
Wanted to settle in this valley at first, but it's very hard to navigate, is full of bears and a spider? and has few resources.I guess it's going to be boring old plains again, as always. But I feel like anything other than plains is a pain in the ass to settle in this game. Many of the hilly areas have such steep slope that you can barely build anywhere. Maybe I'll come back and landscape some of it one day.
>>537554765Good lord, those are fucking cliffs.Unless you start with mining tool to do a dorf fortress and mine some area for crops to get daylight it is impossible to start there.
>>537541536Holy shit anon, you're so cool and edgy
Anybody tried pic related? Was going to pick up the Switch version but apparently the big patch that just came out isn't coming for a while, so I will probably get the Steam version to play on the Deck. If anybody has played it, how well does it run? Don't know whether the new update is extremely important or if the pre-patch version is good too. Thanks, pals.
Did /indie/ waste their life at art school?
