Hope Espiocracy doesn't move their release window if you can even call it that again.It's one of those cases where so much time passes between finding a game and it coming out, that I worry that by the time it's playable I'll move on to other interests and not care anymore

Indie persona clone? 50/50 mix between social life simulator and another genre? Writing this made me realize rune factory is a persona clone...
>>565962250Anon, by your logic Persona is an Harvest Moon clone.
>>565962590No but rune factory is a harvest moon clone.
>>565945759If you're looking for a Soulslike experience, Lies of P is great. Code Vein's combat felt floaty and the level design wasn't very good. I'd honestly recommend Wuchang and Lords of the Fallen over it and both of those games are mediocre.>>565962250Demonschool is unashamedly Persona-inspired. Prodigal is a Link's Awakening-like with a sizable focus on interacting with the local townsfolk.>50/50 mix between social life simulator and another genre?Really depends on how involved you want the social aspects to be. Arguably Shadowrun Dragonfall and Hong Kong (you can run around town and talk to everyone between missions). Does camping out with your party in a WRPG count as social life sim?

This stupid fucking fighht can still tongue my god damn anus. Can you actually just be good game designers and let your players idk play the game? Nah. It's fun. It's creative. Let's play sonic where you can't run. Let's play mario where you can't jump. I had a fucking setup that should have objectively worked too. >monster lowers stats when it enemy gets debuffed>enemy gets debuffed when its stats get lowered>another monster inflicts a debuff at the start of game>...>combo doesn't start because.... because it just doesn't!1>It has to be after the start of the game because I coded it that way!

Dear diary. Today there was a big ass fucking spider at my window. I've made enough progress to careful get up and close the window but I am still stuck in my hypervigilante state of mind. I even jumped off my bed when my hair touched my neck while writing this entry. Can you believe it? Ah if only you could speak and suggest to me a game to calm me down while I wait for my beta blockers to start working. Hint hint...More seriously. Can you guys suggest me a cozy game to play for the next 10 or so hours while I'm at low tension? Here are recent games I've liked.>SOS FOMT>Paper mario ttyd (remake)>Balatro>Baba is you>Fields of mistria>Monster hunter rise
>>565985729Darkwood
>>565985729Long: SpiritfarerShort: Islanders
>>565985729If you like Rise you should play Iceborne.
>>565985729Spiders are good to have around. They eat the annoying bugs. They won't bother you if you don't bother them. What kind of spider? Post a picture.
>>565983025Man I remember buying that for my 360 from a $5 bargain bin in some local nerd store way back when.
Need an immersive simulator
Are there any good sandbox building games similar to Rimworld and Prison Architect? I don't like factory/production line games
>>565988346https://steamdb.info/charts/?tagid=220585
>>565988346what kind of building do you mean?
>>565987660I've completed iceborne. Big and small crowns included.>>565987260Gonna check islanders. Thanks.>>565987893It's a completely irrational fear. Pure physical response.
>>565988902none of those games are remotely like either Rimworld or Prison Architect which is why I came to ask humans instead of searching by tags>>565989270top down, 2D, simple but clear graphics, complete freedom rather than putting down prefab buildings
>>565988346Rimworld has always more or less been dwarf fortress fortress for babies, you could try that.
>>565988346>>565993634Song of Syx is another baby Dwarf Fortress, and I'd just recommend Elin for its freeform settlement building. It isn't core to the game but it can be a satisfying sandbox if it's up your alley.
>>565988346Elona to some extent but it's more on the "schizo tries to make minecraft from memory" side of the scale.
Why aren't you playing Dead as Disco?
>>566000498Looks like shit. Sounds stupid. I don't care. I don't have money. Name's filtering me.
>>566000498Sounds gay.
>>566000498Sounds fun.
>>565948067This reminds me of Artix games, like Dragon Fable, Adventure Quests, Worlds, others.

I'm on the verge of diving head first into flightsim autism. Someone hold me back, my wallet can't handle this at the moment
Can't believe I ran out of healing items and died to knocking on a gate too hard.Sometimes I'm almost tempted to play this game on permadeath with how it barely has any game overs, but the one that do exist feel very final
>>565983025Now if this isn't a blast from the pastToo bad I suck at strategy games
Anyone plays Scriptorium? How can I add boobs, I tried to put a smile on a shirt and it kinda works, but only kinda.
>>566012668H O N K
>>566013272Honestly I always wondered how it sounds if you fart into a vuvuzela.
>>566000498I'm too burnt out on early access right now to start another one>>566011097I got two game-overs in my first hour playing DE. First I put no points into Physique and died crashing into Lena. Then I put no points into Psyche, talked to the bookseller's daughter about romance novels, remembered my wife and had a mental breakdown.Then I started a third time with 1/5/5/1 and never lost again.
>>566000498>looks shit>Early Access>already discountLMAO
>>566015739don't a lot of games have a release discount?
>>566016009Yes, he's just terminally retarded
>>566016009>>566017046>falling for the release date discount tricklmaoing
>>566015147Yeah, this as well as my very first playthrough have been 1 Physique runs and it did give me a game over or two when I was low on health item. I actually also crashed into Lena this time around, but already had a healing item from somewhere in the Whirling.What's extra funny is that you can soft-lock yourself in the harbor, by jumping over the wall with no way to get back unless you sit on the chair, which can kill you. I think the harbor does open up at midnight, but if you're unlucky, you won't find enough dialogue to skip that much time.
Anybody try the new HOMM on the Steam Deck?
>>566000498because it's unfinished as fuck with missing effects and sounds ruining the moment, like there's no punch to anything

>>566034517people say its good but i didnt get hooked onto it, but also i havent played much so idk. as far as sts-likes go i prefer Lost Branch of Legend, but only because it fills the MTG shaped hole in my gaming desires
Thanks to the anon who recommended Northern Journey. This game is fucking weird.
>>566026673Are you the guy who is playing alone?Because if so gratz, you managed to build more shit than me and my 2 pals did for the entire goddamned game wow

>>566044392I posted about AF a fair bit, but I ended up ragequitting when I accidentally dismantled my weapons instead of repairing them.
Done with Mayor May KnottIt's fine, a comfy life-sim/puzzle game, similar to 24 Killers. I do think 25 euros for it is a steep price.
The new stealth watch looks to be very useful.>>566044476I have dismantled like 4 weapons and 3 full sets of armour by mistake so far. I just grind it back up.
>>566044762I can't do it: I already play extremely slowly.Also do you still get attacked if you settle in a pocket dimension? I'm tempted to move form the cafeteria to Japan, but I worry about moving all my stuff and getting bullied during defense events.
Any good multiplayer indies you guys wanna play? Could get some games going.
No more using a complicated system of several personal teleporters to move from base to whatever sector I'm looting. Now I can just deploy a battery and portal pad.Although I'm still going to use a personal teleporter for quickly going back to base and to GTFO.>>566045684>Also do you still get attacked if you settle in a pocket dimension?Only from Order and Gatekeepers. These last ones are a royal pita when the dude throws magic fire around.
They are retarded.
>>566047384Take a shower, ugly.
This is a really strange request, but are there any /indies/ that feature cool skulls? Whether you play as a skull or throw a skull or befriend a skull or trade skulls as currency, I don't care.
>kiss_the_cook.jpg
>have a lot of AAA games on my backlog>keep jumping from rogue to roguebros... what is wrong with me?
>>566057971Idk if you are the same, but I am just tired from adult life and I have so little time now.I sometimes jump on long games and just start to feel burned out at some point, and fomo for other things I wish I could be playing instead. Feels like such a commitment to play a "real" game with clear start and finish now. Anything that promises to be immersive or an epic rpg quest just puts me off.Playing something cozy and low commitment, like holocure and balatro, some city builder, its so much more attractive for me nowadays. I have the same issue with movies.
Arise now, ye tarnished
I don't want to say it but I think Chinese people sort of ruin gaming. The attacks on the Slay the Spire devs by the Chinamen are insane. They removed some easy infinites and the Chinese flipped out. I think the Chinese gaming culture actually is a cancer to the games industry. Its so bad that Path of Exile had to give them their own server build that includes weird gacha shit and pay to win aspects because its so expected in Chinese gaming culture. Why is that? Am I wrong? Is Chinese gaming culture actually not cancer?
You know a game is good when the first advice you find about it is "Play it on emulator and set the speed to 150%".
>>566068784China and Korea, both are some of the absolute worst offenders when it comes to literal cheating and P2W as it has been hard wired into the culture somehow when it comes to competitive shit, I don't know why.
>>566069316I once read that in China and possibly Korea that their work / life balance is so fucked. SO if you wanted to actually be good at a game or farm up something etc, you basically have no time to do that. So the next best thing is just paying to get said items. I would say it sort of checks out because I hear very very negative things about Chinese and Korean work life balance. Weird shit like the expectation that you go out with co workers to bars AFTER work. So you work your 12+ hour day and then go to a bar for 1-2 more hours or some shit. Sounds fucking hellish.
>>566068784>check STS2>FUG HUGE negative review bombingWhat the royal fuck am I reading.Why are all the chinks assmad about it?And what do I read about Anita?The fuck is going on.
>>566070462Chinese love abusing game mechanics to top leaderboardsMegacrit nerfed some infinite decks stratsChina is mad>And what do I read about Anita?People realized 2 months after launch that she is listed as a consultant in the credits and retroactively hate the game
Speaking of STS2, do you think i can still save my friend? He's playing this fucking game 8 hours a day
I love Reaper. I love it's big, meaty hits. I love it's range. I love it's down attack. I love it's little minigame with the silk orbs. I hate Reaper. I hate that it's big, meaty hits don't actually do any more damage than anything else, they're just slower, because fuck you. I hate that it's range just goes away when you attack upwards and it becomes stupidly narrow for no reason. I hate that it's down attack is so good partially because every other down attack is some diagonal dive that never, ever starts feeling good. I hate that it's little minigame pales in comparison to the the special effects of every other crest, and isn't even the best silk generator despite being the only thing it does. I love Silksong. I hate Silksong.
Homosexuality aside, I fucking adored Bastard Bonds. The custom player character, ability to recruit literally anything, and have my own base (even if base building was basically nonexistent) was ecstasy. I long for either a sequel or a game like it.
>>566071606I prefer witch.
>>566071952I like Witch's moveset, but the heal is rough. Cool, but rough. This game is hard enough without needing to heal in enemies faces to get health.
>>566034517For some reason I had more fun with the gacha knockoff, Chaos Zero Nightmare. The "exploration" part was way too slow.
>>566072421Combine it with the injector band and claw mirrors. It is still inherently more risky though yes.
>>566068784>>566070462Chinese Steam users aren't allowed to use the forums or social media, so the reviews are their only medium of communicating with the devs.
>>566034517It's fucking great.
>>566072749I'll try that. Maybe things will click better on a second playthrough.
>>566072656You know you can run and teleport right?
>>566074912I think both of those are new since I last played. Still not as convenient as a STS-style map.
>>566075247It's not STS. You can return to the store whenever you want and roll events and chose when to avail of their effects.
Still praying for a Duskers 2.
I'm gonna get Skull Horde.
What is it with Chinese modders and making some of the most wackass mods ever? Stellaris, Rimworld, Starsector, even fucking Barotrauma. If there's a chinese subcommunity, chances are they're making the most egregiously busted bullshit that utilizes 3 entirely new mechanics that could revolutionize the modding scene if anyone could read the code.But it only works if they're a minority of the community, cause chinese-majority games like Amazing Cultivation Simulator or Duckov ain't got dick.
>>566068784What does anyone care? Nobody who isn't a chink will change their mind based on an obvious review bomb covered in angry scribles or MTL rant with their trademark the-developers-should-eat-my-shit style of outrage. Nobody who is into STS to begin with will care because they don't have to interact with chinks and if they liked 1 they know 2 will be good for them too.Literally just ignore them. What are they gonna do? Cross the great firewall and do anything? Not fucking likely, otherwise they'd overthrow their overlords first.
>>566082871>buying games without a discountnani
>>566068784all games should add an option if the game detects any asian language locale being used on your computer to offer you game breaking cheats for 5 dollars per run.
Backup boons are a mistake.
>>566093426Damn, even Frieza himself is struggling in this economy.
>>566095519That's an hefty debt, too.
>>566093426Ah yes, my realistic game set in new york city in the 70s with my neighbors "xXx_N1bb@K1ll@_xXx", "Jewffrey Einstein", "Furlover #FreePalestine" and "Elven lord Edhelharn of Eriador".Backer names are always stupid. Even when they make sense in the "lore", the lore would be better off without them.
>>566075623That sounds completely different from when I played it. Maybe I'll check it out again.
Just defeated the boss at the end of Trollhole. That area was really claustrophobic, a change of pace from the open areas I've seen thus far, and it really played upon my fear of and fascination with sea monsters where you only see their tentacles. Just did an extremely perilous platforming section for a key item. Only played about three hours so far but I am loving the atmosphere, very unique game.
>>566068784Chinese are subhuman, yes.Beyond that, do me a favor and go in front of a mirror, say "I care about the Chinese reception of a deckbuilder indie game to enough degree that it bothers me" and if that doesn't sound like an obscenely retarded thing, honest to god consider therapy because holy fucking shit my dude.The Anita thing is ultimately unimportant too, but it at least shows them as dumb.Doorfucker is still a dogshit design though
>>566106679speedrunner slop disgusts me
>>566107798that's not speedrunning, that's just using some really funny upgrades the game can give you
Apparently the rat game is finally supposed to release in a couple of weeks.You guys think it will actually come out this time?
>>566108243>the rat gameI have absolutely no idea what you're referring to
>>566108175>not speedrunninghe says, playing at parkour in a fishbowl
>>566108335Mina the Hollower. The game announced by the Shovel Knight guys like five years ago.This is the second time they have given it a solid release date.
>>566108623my time was three times longer than an actually decent speedrun
>>566108793Are are players of the genre as dense as you? I think so.
>>566108895I'm going to infer what that poorly worded post was trying to say and just state speedrunning and playing a game casually are different things
Indie!
>>566108243i was looking forward to it but played the demo when it came out and basically all my interest evaporated instantly
played the library organization game, good fun if you have the tismI started by stuffing every single whiteish book I could find into a row of shelves and picking out matching books to go put where they belong
>>566109751It was kind of mediocre. Shovel Knight took a couple of levels to really wow me though so I am still interested in seeing how the full release pans out.My main issue is that the platforming doesn't pair well with the overhead POV.
Wow the Chinese are complaining about Anita Sarkeesian now? Damn communists ruin everything.
>>566117004Communists are notoriously hostile towards other communists.
>>566104040>>566041627Ok, ok, I'm trying this shit after I sleep.
Little over halfway to Keeler, watching for derelicts along the way. Most interesting thing this dive is two bodies floating around with no ship to be found. That and some rando "I smell piracy" fella.
>>566126167I have stumbled upon some stray drones. I thought it was going to be bodies again. I saw them accelerate and was already hitting a 180 to torch the mines I thought they were.
>>566127570Made the gap. I'll clear it and if I don't find a ship I'll have a bit to eat and head back to Enceladus.
>>566126167>>566127570>>566129134I have no idea what I'm looking at and I'm scared.
>>566129134Middle of the damn Keeler gap and I see a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide contact incoming. Beautiful moonlet.
>>566129390I'm low enough on propellent that I'm gonna munch this little one then continue on. The astrogator can track it for about 86 days, so I've got a checkpoint if I want to spend some dosh going straight there.>>566129225ΔV: Rings of Saturn. It attempts to be hard science simulation for the physics of things. It's got a demo that's just the full fuckin' game because the dev is pretty cool about it. Quick and dirty is you're a captain of a mining ship on Enceladus Prime. You do dives into the rings to bring ore and other interesting things back to the station. There's a lot of things to discover out on the rings. Like that moonlet I cruised by. I'm currently using the starter ship, kitted out for salvage and bounty hunting. I'm running an actuator arm for grabbin' things (like salvagable ships), a point defense microwave generator to disable the computers of pirates' ships, and a railgun to (hopefully) blow a hole in their fuel tanks. I'm not huge into battle, but it's few and far enough between fights that overall the experience is REALLY zen if it's your cup of tea.
>>566130078I forgot I need to gently expel the bodies from my cargo hold in order to eat again. I remembered only after eating the first chunk of ore. Time to see how the gravity of the moonlet affects them I guess.
>>566130365Was wrangling some rocks and have found that no, the processor does not need to be clear of a fuckin' body to do it's job. Splendid. Perhaps it's just lifepods jamming the thing that I've experienced.
>>566129390Nice moonlet
>>566130078>I've got a checkpoint if I want to spend some dosh going straight there.You can just do a transfer to the edge of the rings, and then navigate to the waypoint for free. No reason to pay for the xaser burn.
>>566130673Shit's mooooovin' fast inward out of nowhere. Evasive maneuvers and hold on to your asses. Notice that bit of red around the edges of the screen? Random happenings come in two flavors. Red and blue.>>566130680Thanks ringa.>>566130873Absolutely right. I'm a cheap ass so I don't do such things very often. I'm not usually in a hurry. This dive started at the edge about 4 hours ago. Are you a xenon transfer chad as well?
>>566131092Thanks to that scare I'm down to less propellent than when I started munching. I'll just fuck off to the other side of the gap.
>>566131693...that is until a tastier meal shows up out of nowhere. "Flank them!" comes over the comms local channel. Here goes nothing.
>>566093426What game is this?
>>566131914Got paid for the fucker, but didn't get the ship. Not a super dive, but was pretty relaxing.
>>566132773Wizordrum.People in Grimbrook dug too deeply and too greedily, and opened a gate to hell, which manifested as "chaos" possessing all manners of ill-behaving goblins and undeads.Plays like a Hexen-like, except you can't jump and can't even fall off, the game is strictly 2D. Which makes it extremely easy to make maps for, I assume.
God bless whoever blogposts while I'm sleeping and wageslaving.
>play sts>elite that hard counters your deck>diabolically bad first turn draw>diabolically bad second turn draw>game overWow, that was fun.

I fucking hate the term "boomer shooter." What are some of the best retro shooters?
>>566138910Wizordrum, Amid Evil, DUSK... Cultic!!
>>566138136Have any preference when it come to genre? You could always pirate Teardown, its basically a puzzle game where you have to figure out how to complete objectives within a destructible map, ie gotta steal a safe from an office 2nd floor? Make a hole in the wall and push the safe unto a boxtruck juryrigged into a flatbed, its fun to figure out an optimal route as certain missions are actually complex and need clever placement, especially at the start of campaign when you dont have a lot of tools at your disposal.No shame in telling peoples to pirate it as the original dev sold the rights to some investment firm, the Embracer Group, which turned out how youd expect and is a can of worm I dont want to get into right now.
>>566138910HROT and Citadel are goated
>>566140647guro fetishist detected
CrossCode 2 is now available in EA
>>566138136Life With A Slave -Teaching Feeling
>>566137957I played the demo but it was too RNG-heavy for me, you can fight a boss forever because "OOPS all Move/Defend dice" turn after turn after turn
>>566138910Seconding Cultic and Citadel. There are a lot of great retraux doomlikes but not enough good quakelikes (thought Dusk and HROT were rubbish, don't see the appeal).
why was hotline miami's sountrack so fucking gooddoes any indie come even close?
>>566147109Furi.
Tried out handmancers for a bit. Got a good defensive/attrition deck going, then the final boss has a kill in 5 turns or lose gimmick. Thanks game.
>>566138910Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony is pretty fucking good and free. Remind me of the old call of duty and medal of honor games, and the level design is 10/10 imo.
>>566137957The art style is really the only thing going for it, the gameplay gets old pretty quick
>>566138910>>566150098Forgot to add, there is the Timesplitter series which is a treasure trove, albeit it probably dont count as a true retro game. Deus Ex is also pretty good albeit janky, also stay the fuck away from the remaster and just get the original with a fan patch for the same thing at a fraction of the price. Of most recent release, there is Hands of Necromancy 1 & 2, Hedon Bloodrite and Coven that comes to mind as genuinely fun.
>>566068784Chinese culture is like that. All their mods for STS1 are power fantasy with easy infinites. And the funny part of their reaction to the update is the infinites are still there, they've just been nerfed to require more setup or more consideration for what the payoff will be. So they're just lasy and spoiled and arrogant.

>>565949303All right, the governor wants to to fuck off to literally the other side of the Caribbean in just 18 days for this, oh well I'll try.
>>566159260Didn't expect that I could get events like this at all, honestly not sure what to pick.
Debating if I should buy UBOAT or not. I haven't played a submarine game since having no idea how to play Silent Hunter II as a kid and didn't think it would be my type of thing, but just saw some gameplay and it actually looks kinda fun.Mixed reviews about them fucking something up with the latest update make me a little skeptical though.
>>566159976Then I'd say don't. Get a demo or something to be sure you'll like it, and if there are none, don't.
>>566160394lmao, why are people so fragile? Literally who cares?
>>566160504Hi Anita.You're a dumb bitch, you bring nothing of value, and your "expert opinion" is just misandrist stereotypes.
>>566160504here's your reply
>>566160191I guess every game has a demo if you know where to look.It's weird though, I try not to pirate too many games, because there's some intangible quality to a pirated game that makes me abandon it a lot easier, compared to one I've paid money for
>>566160504Anita's only claim to fame is being a grifter waste of oxygen that made everything worse for everybody.I don't care in the sense that it's not as if it was something serious or of real impact, but it does make me think less of the devs. >>566161789>>I guess every game has a demo if you know where to look.<2hr played refund is a place to look in this sense, kind of.
>>566159976>>566161789>>566160191Okay nevermind, lel. This does kill some of my enthusiasm

The Brig is pretty shit though, miss me with that.I think I'd seriously consider buying a Fleut if I see one with a good trait attached, but I'd rather steal one for free.>>566177202>Won't that negate the stealth bonus of your chest plate?Fancy items don't have a negative bonus to stealth, just a + to leadership. Generally there's never penalties for looks, only for more physical things. Heavy armour has a stealth penalty for example, but it also negates a lot of damage in a fight.
>>566180204I just remember you have a "mass-produced" chest plate that made you sneakier.
>>566180204>>566180536Sure, blend in with the crowd.
>>566180782It wasn't "plain", it was another. "Mass-produced", or "branded", I'm not sure.
>>566180967No that was it. I might have said mass produced because I was in combat and couldn't check the exact tag name or whatever and just misremembered it as that.

Where do you get your games /indie/, Steam, Gog? Pirate everything?
>>566196297I pirate a few games but i have a hard time coming back to a game that is not in my steam libraryYes i know i can add it on Steam but it's not the same
You have to drink all the soup.Also I think I'm spending too much time base building and grinding stuff. I read people that finish the game in 60 hours and I'm over 80 right now.
>>566196297Mostly Steam, since indies tend to avoid GOG or fail to pass their quality control for a reason or an other.
>>566196297Steam.

I love when a youtube essay on a video game makes me go on a wild goose chase to understand how can people in a one-person household pay over 100 euro/dollar for their weekly groceries. I spend around 45€ and there is still a bunch of things I could throw away from my shopping cart.This took me so long to research that I didn't even finish the video or even play anything today. The worst part... I didn't even find a conclusive answer.
>>566201497By buying name brands, indulgences, soda. Not that hard to figure out.
>>566201497A lot of normalfags can't cook. Single ones and married. They spend a lot of money on prepared meals.

>>566132960Went to go out again. Had hauled in a second TNTRL before and swapped it's kit to have a second hauler. Going to try a fixed microwave generator instead of the (much more expensive) point defense version to see which I prefer. I got about 15 minutes out though and realized I hadn't tuned fuckin' anything. PLUS I forgot to change out the drone and lidar. So I exited to desktop and went to bed. Now though, Graveyard Shift cheevo is one derelict retrieval away.

>>566196297
>>566238476The readout on this radar is super duper faint. It'll take some getting used to.>>566238605Some of them are reasonably good looking. Maybe I just got lucky.>>566241981That spoiler. Such a pleasant surprise.
>>566242865Found a friendly Model E who's pilot knew mine in the past. Then while I'm grabbing some ice to refuel, I get two chunks in and klaxons start going off. Time to investigate. Oh, on the character portrait subject, there's a couple of DLC packs for various flavors you may be into. I don't have them though.
>>566244325It was a bunch of mines. The Model E went along energetically cleaning them up before I was able to approach properly. There were some beryllium rich roids nearby and I was a bit overzealous on the maneuvers. Almost ran out of propellent. Had to cut it short.
>>566246686I hate space.
>>566196297All of the above.I have some kind of autism that makes me want to have all my games in one place on Steam, so my GOG library is quite small.As for pirating, it's usually games by bigger companies like Rockstar or Ubishit that I want to take for a spin, games with way too many DLC (like paradox games for instance) or anything where I just want to be on the safer side about the 2h refund window.There have been a handful of cases, where I ended up buying a game I had pirated prior after enjoying it enough to figure I might aswell give the devs some moeny.
>>566246686Hit the edge and took a two hour zoom out to the big lidar contact. Another moonlet. >>566246740I'm sorry fren. What are you playing?>>566247493I know that feel, anon. I did that with Dominions 6.
>>566247815Tainted Grail.Just had to pay 30 HP to finish a quest, I'm not happy about that.
>>566247815There she is lads. Beautiful.
>>566248018Wait, is that a space game... with a realistic scale?
Cat
>>566248018Happened across some bounty hunters. Moments after this screenshot and me saying I hadn't seen anything that familiar red glow crept back in. Here's hoping I can claim the ship this time.>>566248142Yes. The core of it attempts to be as true to life with the scale and physics and stuff as possible. I traveled from the edge of the rings to the Keeler Gap last night. Granted, pausing caused a bit more time to be padded in. I got there in a few hours. I skipped the interaction this time and had my astrogator plot a course further into the rings where I'd gotten a big lidar contact from another ringa earlier.
>>566249826There we go. Time to crack open a cold one, fellas. Additional response to >realistic scaleIt does lend itself to be rather true to space, including the part where there's a lot of empty between things. It's really chill if that's your vibe though.
>>566251058Just enough of a clearing to plot back to station, but that makes 10.
>>566251470Hopped back out to that moonlet after hitting the edge again. Just munching bits of ice as I go around. Found some vilcy who were hunting about. Then come across some of the riffraff. We'll see how this goes.
>>566255468Locked on 'em with the MWG, couple quick pops with the railgun, then watched them spin helplessly as their propellent slowly vented. Granted, I'm getting low myself, but now it's just a game of patience.
>>566248142Pretty much. The game takes place in the 2500 kilometers between the outer edge of Saturn's A ring, and the Encke gap.
>>566255715Of course after I've disarmed the ruffian that I thought to enable my bodycam. Pretty neat little happenstance here while catching up.
>>566248142There's quite a few of those these days. What you're seeing isn't very realistic though--the real rings of saturn are mostly tiny specks of ice, the size of water droplets.But DV has a really cool heatpunk take on how near-future spacecraft could work.As you know, all real life spacecraft ever are designed from the principle of operating cold, basically near zero kelvin, with minimal energy budgets to avoid issues with inefficiency aka waste heat. Even in hard scifi like The Expanse, ships can run cool due to magic 100% efficiency engines that won't dump gigawatts of waste heat onto the ship after burning at 1g for days.Tech is not that advanced in this game. See the last line of that stat readout on the right? That motherfucker is running a molten core reactor and a primary coolant loop hot enough to glow like a star. DV approaches its ship design from first principles and realizes that in order to do useful work like depicted in most scifi, ships need much larger energy budgets than any real existing or proposed spacecraft, on the scale of megawatts. Where are you going to get that much energy on spaceship without magic tech? Nuclear solves that and no I don't mean a fucking RTG. But how are you going to keep a reactor cool? That'd be quite the design conundrum. Seems like a completely insane idea until you forgo the "keep everything cold" principle that guides so much of modern spacecraft design and start designing ships to run near molten metal temperatures, even if that is poses its own risks and engineering challenges. The big advantage comes from stefan-boltzmann law: Radiant exitance is proportional to the FOURTH power of temperature. So if you run your radiators glowing hot like a star, it's going to dump that waste heat out into space as efficiently as a star. 3500-4000K is still not a lot in terms of that, but it's barely feasible within known material science.
>Doornigger is out
>>566257653The eventual capture. I got to keep the ship this time.>>566258181Thank you for the in depth explanation there anon. I can dream, at least.
>>566223209
>>566259671Upon return we've got a bit of repairs to do and finish up, but I'm starting to have a modest pile of ship here. It's time to cull a bit.
>>566247815>I know that feel, anon. I did that with Dominions 6I remember it was quite funny to me when they turned Crusader Kings II into a free to play game with optional subscription access to the DLC and people got upset.Because the game de facto already subscription if you want to stay up to date by buying a new DLC every 6-12 months and it's gotten to the point where a new player would probably save money with the subscription as opposed to however expensive it would be to get all the DLC at once.Either way that's the only pradox game I indulged them with this garbage.
>>566258181The curse of passive / low energy spacecraft design is real.Look at this fucking thing. Wow, those white things are some giant solar panels huh? WRONG. They are radiators. And they're just barely enough to maintain the station's temperature even though everything it does is constrained by its minimal energy budget. Because at ~300 K, they're barely radiating any energy away. If a spacecraft of this size was designed with DV's principles it wouldn't need any solar panels and only tiny radiators. If we ever get heavy industry in space, it won't look like this, but it might borrow some ideas from DV.
>>565985729Chants of Sennaar
>>566260373There we go. Now surpassing the point I decided to invest in a second ship up here >>566132960But it is now time for bed.
>>566258181>>566260998Where can I read more about it?
>>566263067In a physics textbook? Learn how the universe works and where our technology is at.
Is it even physically possible to get that much money? Even disregarding the fact that you have to pay to stay at the Whirling, I'm not sure that's realistic.
>>566263312I mean about passive/low energy spacecrafts. Jewgle gives me results about the Voyager shutting down instruments, low energy transfers and low energy or passive detectors.
>>566266860That's what literally every human spacecraft ever is. It's not mentioned anywhere because it's just the default principle, the only way things have ever been done. We haven't even imagined anything like heavy industry in space as of yet.
>>566266065You don't have to sleep at the hotel.
>>566268501I've never tried being a hobocop, intend to on my next playthrough, but I've read some hearsay about how it causes a game over to sleep on the street.And the shack only unlocks from day 3 onward.Also it's funny how much more content the game has, when you don't skip interacting with the corpse obviously Last time I did the tribunal on day 3 or 4 I think, right now I'm on day 2 and nowhere close, if I want to get all the optional tasks out of the way first.

>>566275849This you?>>566274348I don't like it. Being lost in space would be terrifying. Gravity was a tough watch for me.

>>566276859>This you?God I wish.>Being lost in space would be terrifying. Gravity was a tough watch for me.Feel you. I think being lost at sea or deep underwater is already bad enough, but space is even more terrifying. I remember Prey had a moment, where you could float out to a space shuttle that was less than 200m from the station, and even that filled me with a primal dread as soon as I was about halfway there and couldn't see the station in my peripheral vision. Hadn't felt that kind of dread since subnautica probably.Also speaking of being stranded, Passengers even though I've seen someone suggest an edit that massively improves the movie and I can't get out of my head, We Who Are About To and that one part in the second Hyperion book also each have their own version of terrifying loneliness.
>>566278327Haven't watcheded it. Not going to.Even Jojo part 2 was hard. Kars was a monster, but to end up so lost in space that you "give up thinking", it's horrible.>>566281773Only 200m? That feels so far.
>>566281882To be fair if I imagine what walking 150-200m would be like (taking my school's sprint lane for reference) that is quite the distance to just be floating through nothingness

>>566043380I beat them a little while ago in a retarded "battle" of circle strafing. The next area is giving me trouble. I've tried to go around the pond in both directions several times, but I don't know how you're supposed to make it past the monster without getting sucked into the water.

>>566312214>Why are manga raws so much worse quality than translated onesNow you understand why credit pages always whine and moan about raws.
>>566307348I figured out my problem. I play on the Steam Deck, and didn't look thoroughly through the controls to see there's a way to run. Was able to make it past. Give the shield guys another go. How are you set for weapons and ammo?
>>566312778No I mean even their digital releases are shit you wouldn't feed your dog.
>>566313274I think I had weapons and health aplenty, but if I remember right, I just couldn't aim AND dodge at the same time, so I'd either waste my ammo on their shield trying to hit their feet, or I'd let one come to me so that he drops his shield to attack, and then I'd get hit from behind by another.
>>566314323I had the same problem. I just kept circle strafing and spamming and eventually won. Real pain in the ass and a shit encounter.
>>566310726The Fleut I was interested in, but the trait for this one is shit. 4.5k hold size though, god damn.Maybe I could get my hands on some quest or DLC ship with a similar hold that doesn't sacrifice the cannons though.
>>566314747Yeah. I mean, I was close to dropping the game before because I kept getting lost and I am arachnophobe so I had a hard time already, but that boss made me uninstall and not look back.I haven't refunded it because I still hope to get the courage to try it again, but... yeah.
>>566315218It doesn't help that most enemies are bugs.

I just finished Motorslice, neat little game overall, but holy fuck is the camera a pain at times, I swear I died more often to the camera screwing me over either during platforming or when parrying the ranged guys.
>>566315218Welp, I just found a way, way worse fight than the shieldbearers. In Greenslit after you gain the ability to traverse the ziplines there's a fortress that has maybe ten or so skeletons that sprint at fucking mach 5 and do shitloads of damage. I truly don't know how you're supposed to beat this part. And as soon as you start the fight it locks you in the arena so you can't run and gun.

My Current Siralim teamtl;dr shadowbringer + blight buffing skills + spam divinity + some notdie2dudes skillsStrengths: everything gets fucking melted and the damage infinitely scales with the enemy because their health pools just keep getting bigger and bigger. Also if some of my monsters die, they just keep getting revived over and over.Weaknesses: Monsters that resist or are immune to blight. The occasional monster with a defense that you can't even write in the 4chan post box cuz it's so big. Solution: 4080 laser beams the blightphobic and defensive freaks of nature away. Also I have a relic that increase Blight damage the more I do it throughout the fight.9/10 team I'd say.

>>566372520It was just a lifepod. Nothing too interesting this dive. I still absolutely adore this little info panel in the center. Little bit of worldbuilding goes a long way. That's it from me tonight fellas.
Bros any game like Dead Cells? Dont really give a shit if its a metroidvania, action roleplay, platformer, whatever. Im looking for the immense weapon variety and combat with weight. Honestly I think the only game like this is Dark Souls/Elden Ring.>inb4 noita, skul, risk of rainNone of those have the weight in combat, just a massive weapons arsenal. Cant believe Im excited and stuck waiting for Belmonts curse and the other mexican metroidvania shit.
>>566299662I just got done playing this myself after like 50 hours, and just got tired of all of it. Breaking point was my guy ripping his overalls apart fixing his katana. It was the nearest and in inventory [cloth] [flexible] material applicable for the job after all!It made me do some tests to the logic that characters perform when using tools, due to the constantly reported issue of characters using worse tools when better ones are available for some reason. (reports on the discord date back a year and a half at most).First the character has to check if they have the tool in inventory. If not, find one in the map. It will prioritize the nearest tool first, regardless of its construction speed modifier. 2 tiles away 1x construction speed tool, and a 3 tile away 2x construction speed tool, prioritize the 2 tile away tool.Next is if multiple tools available for the task are in inventory. Now I'm not a coding guy so bear with me. When you pick up a tool, that tool type is set to the character's memory. If you pick up a second tool of the same variety, it will not override the previous memory. Pick up in order: a screwdriver, then a power drill. Your character will be first be using the screwdriver, until it breaks or is no longer available to them. Pick up in order: the power drill, then the screwdriver. The character will first use the power drill until it is out of charge, breaks, or is not available to them.The 'solution' provided to players is to simply not have inferior tools around. Yes well that's fine and dandy, but then what about the weapon repair situation I described at the start? The game is checking for a cloth 'tool' in order to repair the weapon. My character's first or longest lasting memory would be the clothing I'm probably wearing. Am I meant to always hold 10 sheets of cloth on me, and make sure to put on my clothing *after* this? Am I meant to have no clothes around ever? What the fuck? tl;dr: The game screams of technical debt to me.
>>566349584It's a good game, sir.
I tried to spring Espher and got half my team imprisoned instead
>>566375662I thought the Prince of Persia one was one of the best in memory.
>>566382652The old DOS one? It's just flynnying.

>>566377052Those things are on the endless list of weird behaviors that are annoying to figure out but once you do they are pretty much non-issue.>tool priorityAlways carry only the laser and green drill, tools solved.(Keep a grinder somewhere on your ship for repairing blades.)>resource priorityCarry a stack of clothes, problem solved.Equipped clothes can't be used on repairs. As long as the cloth stack is in your backpack pocket slots it'll get used before any clothes in the backpack.Or better, have a crate full of packs filled with all the spare parts (mobos, heatsinks, motors, screens, electronic/mechanical parts, alum/steel/carbon fiber/plastic/cloth scrap) Have it easily accessible and pick it up whenever you repair something, be it a haul of starship components, micrometeorite damage or your weapon. This will greatly streamline your life. But be aware that such a crate will weigh over a ton once full, you cannot carry it while under several gs of thrust. So you should also have some holden hull patches to temporarily seal micrometeorite holes while burning.Technical debt has nothing to do with unorthodox gameplay systems. This kind of UI/UX jank is fixable and the tag-based item system comes from NEO Scavenger so it's already old and proven.Technical debt implies poor software architecture design choices were made, leading to future maintenance nightmare. Ostranauts is the opposite, development is very slow (because the scope of the game is far too big) but the technical foundation is very good and maintainable, unllike, say, KSP. 0.15 just fixed the performance issues and made the game actually playable without the old optimization mod. The codebase is getting better not worse. That's the opposite of technical debt.
>>566383938Oh, some zoomer shite. Miss me with that gay shit, guv'.
Crimson Court for Darkest Dungeon was a mistakeI'm revisiting the game with mods for the first time and holy shit I remember CC being bad but this is insufferablestygian btwwhat are your favorite mods? for the first time I gave up downloading coomer reskins, it's the only game I'm willing to protect, it would change the atmosphere too dramatically
>>566384278Your loss, watching gravedigger get her ass tonguefisted by a demon is hot. Especially when the Vestaldt gets the lesbian trait from seeing it.
>>566384104Dead Cells IS zoomer shite, you're literally asking for zoomer shite.
>>566385735>literally
>>566386958That's literally not how language works.
>>566387327Okay Jerry.
>>566386958Why does using the word "literally" non-literally break NPC programming so hard?Interesting that the comic is just an excuse to push gay propaganda and promote hate. Remember kids, the human way to react to a stranger's death is WOW I SURE AM GLAD THAT GUY IS DEAD
>>566386958You struck a nerve, the illiterate child is angry he got told.
>>566386958cool image but he's not wrongdead cells is zoomer shiteby asking for something like dead cells you want something that is zoomer shiteso the aversion to Prince of Persia: The Zoomer Shite makes no sense
>>566384104How is it "zoomer shit?" It's got great combat, great exploration and tools, and some insanely hard optional challenge. Fuck off, retard.
>>566384070>endless list of weird behaviors I see. Just deemed as quirks of the game by you.>Always carry only the laser and green drill, tools solved.Unfortunately the tools need to be maintained from time to time. I know the next logical step, just have a duplicate of the top quality tools. I think it would be prudent to have a backup weaker tool for tuning up more advanced and expensive tools.>Carry a stack of clothes, problem solved.I'm not going to accept this as the solution. That's even more egregious than the previous point.>As long as the cloth stack is in your backpack pocket slots it'll get used before any clothes in the backpack.I'd have to test this to be certain, but there's already clean scrap cloth stored in backpacks on the ship. As I'm in my EVA, one of my backpacks carried has my civvie clothing. If repair materials are called for in the same fashion as tools, that civvie clothing, a red overall (One of the few types of clothes you can fix) is held in memory to be used as the first material every time.I'll cede that technical debt may not be the proper term for what I'm describing, but there will be growing pains if more types/tiers of tools are introduced or any additional material/object tag overlaps are required for future items. An example would be a new plastic item comes out, and requires a plastic material to fix it. It can either go for the plastic in your material backpacks, or your already carried (and perhaps freshly tagged) plastic items that you'd rather not part with (which will have priority).Point is, if these underlying logic priorities remain, it will affect every addition thereafter, leading to far more time spent wrangling 'weird behaviors' rather than expanding the world. If you don't deem these worth considering, may it remain a difference of opinion.
>>566393310>I see. Just deemed as quirks of the game by you.I'm not defending the game you cunt, I'm trying to help you. Yes the jank is infuriating and at times the UI/UX is worse than fucking Dorf Fort.>Unfortunately the tools need to be maintained from time to time.So keep a soldering iron somewhere on your ship to maintain your tools, this is not rocket science. Hell, keep a full collection of spare tools somewhere for roleplay reasons. Maybe you'll need them one day.Not that your "from time to time" matters, pristine tools starting at 100% condition will need maintenance maybe once a year which is more than you will ever play. Once you have your tools set up, they are set up for good. It's batteries that drain charge and condition faster, so maybe quickly maintain them once in while a when swapping fresh ones from your charger eh?>I'm not going to accept this as the solution.Cry about it.If you are going to maintain your weapon, pick up the resources needed for it or your character will use whatever is at hand. Just set up a routine for repairs to make things easier for yourself. You could even have a bag somewhere with the grinder and cloth, pick that up when maintaining your katana or other weapons for selling.>I'll cede that technical debt may not be the proper termGood.>An example would be a new plastic item comes out, and requires a plastic material to fix it.Yeah except that plastic hull parts and plastic scrap are already a thing and there are no problems whatsoever with the tag system in this case.
>>566393310Basically, I can see that your complaining is just seething because you didn't realize recipes that require cloth can also use intact clothes you intend to keep and you blindly fastforwarded through some lengthy repair operation without even noticing your clothes condition deteriorating. Shit sucks but get over it.I don't think the game is ever going to change the way it iterates through inventory arrays (in >99% of games that's a under-the-hood thing that's not explained to players) or start prioritizing particular items instead of picking the first matching one the iterator sees, but a simple commonly used way to fix this UX issue would be letting the player tag items as important so they don't get used in crafting, won't appear in sell lists, you get a warning when they're dropped, etc.
I will play Ostranauts when it is out of early access. Like with Onirism.
>>566397031That is a good decision, but are you sure you will live that long?
>>566343918Manlea's second game!
>>566397490>but are you sure you will live that long?Ideally I will kill my self when my mum dies as there will be nothing left for me to live for. So I don't really care.
I just saw a fucking Brotato question on a tv quiz
>>566387327Fucking this. If language wasn't allowed to change we'd all be posting in proto-indo-european right now
>>566400843Is Brotato any good?
>>566401594I don't like it, but it's fairly popular.
>>566397490>~ And you’ll be happy?>~ I won’t be happy or unhappy. I won’t be.
>>566401645Is it more Isaac or Vampire Survivors? What did you dislike about it?
Just finished Butcher's creek as someone recommended on /v/, it was somewhat short but fun, had fun, but even on hard it was decently easy, only died multiple times near the end because i kept getting hit into saw traps, wasn't really scary but i enjoyed the combat and trying to figure out what the fuck was going on, but even when opening all cassette doors and saving once at every tv i still had like 20 cassette by the end. But now im left wanting more.
>>566401505And things would be better for it.
>>566397490I'll be fine, I'm not black so ICE is not going to assassinate me.
>>566402871I hate this game...Play Pony Factory and Squirrel Stapler for the prequels.
>>566344771You're saying Finns aren't people?
>>566405790It's a big spoiler, but these people are all gods if I understand the game correctly. Their weirdness is your character struggling to understand what he sees.
>>566406031They're just Finns fucking with youIt ain't that deep
>>566315153>>566180536>I just remember you have a "mass-produced" chest plate that made you sneakier.This is where I misremembered "mass produced", I mixed it up with plain.
>Slight pain in chest when stressedAh that's neat. Guess the stress is really getting to me.Hey /indie/, what harvest moon-like should I play? I've only played fomt on the gba and stardew valley.
>>566406973AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ok>>566407638If you like Hololive and Vtubers, I heard good things about their Harvest-Moon like on Steam.
>>566406973A Frigate, Heavy Frigate, and a Ship of the Line. My first real look at any of them in this game.Exampled more closely with the spyglass, my guy estimates the lowest crew they have on board is 400 and up to 750 sailors on them. God damn, that's even before considering the 36, 50 and 54 cannons on board them.Here I am putzing around with 78 sailors and 18 (much smaller) cannons.
>>566408008>Hololive harvest moonThe future is here and it has women pretending to be anime characters...
>>566409850ZOOM IN ON THE SHIP OF THE LINE
>>566411957if it worked for voice actresses in actual anime then it works for voice actresses with an anime avatar. honestly i still dont understand why normal people have trouble with the concept of vtubers
>>566412716Because the anime doesn't reply to your chat message with a personal story of how they were bullied at school for being half Japanese in both Japan and Germany.
>>566409850>>566412156>ZOOM IN ON THE SHIP OF THE LINE
>>566413857awwww yeeees, look at how many cannons it FIFTY FOUR???? That... more than a hundred crew members, I assume. If we count 2 people per cannon...
>>566413991>That... more than a hundred crew members, I assume. If we count 2 people per cannon...The number in the top left just below the ship icon is my guy's estimation for how many crew are on board, it's between those numbers.
>>566414467More than 500 people on a ship? How do they not go insane with cabin fever?
>>566413991Don't you only need gunners on one side at a time?
>>566414745Heeeh... I dunno, a minimum of 2 people per cannon to amount for powder monkeys and everything...
>>566414651No clue, I guess it's a pretty big boat and they're not intended to spend long term on there , more of a boarding party waiting to happen.That's also not the biggest ship in the game, every nation has Ships of the Line apparently, here's the biggest ship unique to the English.
>>566415197>man o'war are bigger than ships of the lineI didn't know that. And fucking hell, please explain what a coulevrine is, because that shit looks like a coastal defense cannon: too heavy to be moved.
>>566415709>And fucking hell, please explain what a coulevrine isIt's a coastal defence cannon that's too heavy to be moved, long range sniper cannons. 106 cannons, 1635 max crew, strong enough to fight a colony's fortress by itself and win.
>>566416057But... on a ship? Is it what all the cannons are, or does it just means that the man of war has one "full culverin"? Like the cannon ships in Age of Empire ?
>>566416367https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MFD2L1MWq-Q106 of these.
>>566416693Oh god. So not only he has 106 cannons, but they're all the massive giant kind of cannons.Pay your respect, bow deeply, and do NOT piss them off.
>>566416991I mean I want one, so I'm going to have to fight one eventually, but I should have a proper fleet to wear it down with pack tactics or something by then.
>>566417708Whoever is in the line of fire is going to get murderfucked even harder than anyone fighting Balor.
>>566418538Oh for sure, but that's a problem for future me.The me of right now lured a fleet of 5 Spanish ships into that Ship of the Line and Frigates from earlier and let them get fucked up, probably could and boarded and beaten one of them but I sailed into his mine and got fucked. rip.
>>566419460My sinking.
>>566419460Rest in pepperoni.
>>566419658>>566420067The bigger problem is that I think I've doomed this save. I'm on a alt timeline trying to get a specific ship before I hit rank 8 for an achievement, and my crew mutinies 100% of the time on the 30th of March or later. The problem is I can't get rid of any crew because of a special ship in port, and my crew is maxed out training so I can't beat the guys who rebel they have like 3x my HP and stats.I'm stuck, unless I wanna reload my save from like a month ago and do it all over again or something.
>>566414651Lots of boozing and whoring at every port
>>566386958Liierrlly
Just finished Northern Journey. I really enjoyed it. There are some frustrating aspects, namely the combat (especially the Haunted Glacier), but the atmosphere was phenomenal, and it did indeed feel like an actual journey. Incredible job for a one man studio. Hope he makes another game.
>>566420412Maybe you should PAY YOUR CREWjust kidding sounds like you fucked up very badly, shadow of mordor style
Fuck this game is hard.Haven't managed to hit a single shot yet. To be fair maybe it is my own fault for wanting to play everything on the most realistic settings
The true Dark Souls experience.Game's Wizordrum.
>>566420412You could always use cheat engine to give yourself just enough money as to not get softlocked, which even if there arent any cheat table for this game in peculiar its easy to figure out and I will give you the instructions if you wishes it so. Its way easier than youd think, especially with a specific number like how much emone you have, you only need a mean to change the value while ingame ie a shop or whatnot.
>>566429462wait isn't that bad?
>>566432569Nah, the torpedo tubes are like an airlock. You put the torpedoes in, flood the tubes and fire.
>>566433561Oh. Yeah, in restrospect that makes more sense, otherwise the water would immediately destroy them.
man, taiji is extremely fucking awful at the design of puzzle progression complexity. i'm just gonna stop playing. shit is so obnoxious when you're going through an area, solving the puzzles, then there's a sudden huge leap in complexity and the previous method of solving stuff doesn't work and now you have to spend 20 minutes staring at your screen wondering what changed
>>566437793I got filtered too :/
>>566437887kill yourself
>>566438120I think I only finished 4 zones.
There was an old PC Goosebumps game decades ago. You mostly walked around and did point-and-click puzzles. Any modern games like that?
>>566438818Plenty, in the indie scene point and clicks are still a somewhat popular genre. If you want recommendations you might have to narrow it down to preferred narrative genre or puzzle style.
>>566438818The Blackwell series
Oh no.Oh no no no, I don't like that guy but I don't want to reject him...
>>566426358>>566431529I actually have paid them, I think it was a mix of two things:1: I let the Rum run out for the last month (don't do this)2: I got an event earlier in the month where my Boatswain brutally punished a guy for not cleaning up properly and the crew was pissed, I stood by the Boatswain though and I think the mutiny now is the end result of that.
>ignores revive blockingYeah, I'm gonna need to optimize single target healz the next time I fight this thot.
>>566407638Rune factory 4. 1 to 4 if you feel courageous.
>>566453091Now that the dust has settled, I can say Siralim has a pretty satisfying progression and postagame. I'm not that big into Diablo type games, but I wonder if this is one of the better examples of how a Diablolike post game should be.
>>566469209>Diablo type gamePlease elaborate on why you chose to compare this to Diablo instead of, perhaps, Pokémon or literally any other of the myriad of other monster catching turn based RPGs out there.
>>566474038It's Diablo, Dragon Warrior Monsters, Marvel Vs Capcom, and a blobber all fused together.>why those things?>diabloLoot grinding aspect, socketing equipables, etc>DWMMonster collection. Also the designs have a ruggedness to them that's reminiscent of that era. Also the earlier entries even have a family breeding system that's so obviously inspired by that series.>MarvelYou're building a team and trying to create the most broken combos, infinites, setups, etc possible>blobberYou're basically dungeon crawling with a fat party
>>566477682>socketing equipablesI can't argue that, anon. Good call.
>>566374752I've given the Scrapwright Recovery Operations monthly subscription service a shot. I've turned propellent usage for interlunar travel to max because time is money now. I was not aware how much propellent that would actually use though. Now I'm just going to coast on the 10m/s that autopilot leaves me on hoping ice falls into my mouth.
>>566483208I was able to get up to a quarter tank before stumbling upon a cold K37. I'll knock the interlunar propellent use down to 75% though since getting that low on fuel just as I'm getting there leaves me a bit nervous. Should make it about 1 day travel out, I think.
>>566483208I tried to get into Delta V, but hmm. it lacks a clear upgrade path for me. Too much "sidegrade" stuff. I never know what the best weapon for my ship is, so I always just go with microwaves and collector drones.
>>566485437Oh meant to add: Dev is turbo based tho, for putting the entire god damn game into the "demo" version of his game.
>>566484816Oh, while I was out my Mechanic finally gave me a direction to go in on her questline instead of just happening to find clues as I harvested scrap. We'll head out there off the bat since it's so close to the edge.>>566485437That'll take some time to wrap your head around, anon. There's so few of anything that there's no clear best for anything, except what you're planning to dive for. You need to look at building a specialized craft for a purpose, and fit the tools accordingly. For example, I want to go out and find ships to haul back to the station like Little Tommy Tow Truck. I know I'll need to harvest some roids for propellent while I'm out, and there's always a chance that a pirate drifts in your general direction. ARM, MWG, and a railgun on a K37 or variant and I can reasonably defend myself around the rings while I look for derelicts. If I decide I don't want to haul anything, I can switch over to my Eagle Prospector. Differently tuned dual MWGs and haul drones. Just sit there and stuff my face for a while. How long have you put into the game, if I may ask?
>>566486664That's a bit better on the propellent reserves. Off to chase who knows what though.
>>566487427Casually popping small ringroids as I make my way in. Barely up over half a tank and this should be my mechanic's contact.
>>566487703It's not lively. This looks promising. Few minutes out.
>>566487892Name matches. Wonder what it's going to lead to now.
>>566488082Oh shit, it's a chonky one. I don't have one of these yet.
>>566488198Aw shit. Wish me luck, folks.
>>566488297>Nuclear ThroneI dunno, boarding that sounds like a bad idea.
>>566488297Alright, suspicious but going smooth so far.
>>566488456Look at 'er go. Seems good so far. I'm decent on fuel now too. Could press in further and see what kind of trouble I can get in.
>>566488701Oh, having a look, there's another anomaly nearby. Would be neat to get two ships in a dive. Good luck Kang. We'll see you when we get back.
>>566488959Another big bad wolf. Not something I can take in. Easy mining though for a bit.
>>566489340Oh snap. Might get that second ship after all. Decent bit of beryllium out by the BBW for later too, so that's cool.
>>566489960Never saw where the MRS-6490 got off to, but this one's comin' right over here to the BBW, and then we'll bring the ship into station.
>>566490443150k encalados and they yeet me back into the black. That was a nice dive.

I loaded up an earlier save, went through all of the trouble of doing it earlier, but I'm so close to level 8 that I've no leeway. Now there's a huge all out brawl between two ship crews and I'm one kill away from level 8 so I can't help out.Fuck.
...ah. That's what it's all about. They keep summoning Arthur over and over because of the impact he had on Avalon, that's why the kingdom is filled with mediocre men. They rely on Arthur too much.

You know? Maybe this could be a decent replacement for Highfleet.I love everything about that game, except the real time combat
i'm getting back to corru. can i get a spoilerless refresher on what's happened? last i remember is akizet going through combat or discovering murders in the embassy. i'm also re-reading the bestiary in the meantime. my save file says november 2024.
>>566486664>How long have you put into the game, if I may ask?Couple hours on and off again.
>>566509547Do I go for it? I like the trait and 5k cargo hold is incredible for my tier, but I could potentially get my hands on a quest ship soon that might have nearly as good of a hold but with much better fighting capabilities.
Did anyone here play the spell brigade?
I'm starting to think I just have a thing for games where yoou start weak and become a total overpowered death machine. Vampire Survivors, Diablo, PoE (If you can fucking get there, in that autism hell), lots of tiny incremental/idle games, Risk of Rain 1&2, Borderlands games, probably a bunch more I can't think of. Starting from having a dagger and a dream, and ending by filling the entire screen with projectiles is just satisfying as all hell. Sadly this "genre" is also saturated with absolute slop.
>>566528796Dark Souls. There's something satisfying with starting with just a broken sword.
>>566528946I mean, you get strong in Dark Souls, but I'm talking more: "Clearing a room with your mere presence" strong, In Dark Souls you are always still very much in danger of getting two shot.
>>566529775Fair, fair. And something like Tainted Grail won't count either.
>>566528796Get noita'd
>>566531312I can't get into noita. I'm too fucking dumb to make good wands, I never had a good run, I never got past the ice level. Every fucking noita run just has shit hit me from off-screen chipping away at my health till I'm fucked. I dunno, skill issue I guess, but I would enjoy it more if you had a heal or something.
>>566532272>but I would enjoy it more if you had a heal or something.Noita has heals, but they're about as hard to put together as any other very good wand.
>>566532794There are heal options in the game, yeah. But I'm talking about having a guranteed heal. If I say: "I keep dying to annoying chip damage and it's frustrating, I wish I had a heal" then of course I'm not talking about the 1 in 20 runs where you do find some healing.
>>566534572It's 1 in 1 to get healing or close enough, but you have to have the skill to obtain a healing method. If you're just going "Oh boy I hope I can find a healing method randomly before Hissi Base" then yeah it's 1 in 20.
>>566532272You can always download mods, I know there is one that add a kind of save system so it could help until you get a good grip of the game, and just disregard the inevitable baiters who will go "muh cheat" because literally no one give a shit about how you personalize your own experience, especially in a single player game.
>>566534860>>566534869I mean I appreciate you guys trying to get me into what looks to be a pretty good game, but honestly it's just not for me. I took a couple stabs at it, I played about 6 hours, and it's just not fun for me, personally. So it goes into the "Good game but not for me" pile where it will likely stay.
>>566523874Currently waiting for a specific ship I need to attack to pass by, but there's not enough time to fuck off to another colony and back and it'd be a waste of time to just sit there resting, so I'm exploring the land a bit.There's actually a fair bit more to it than I thought, my only real land experience was the starting island which was just a bunch of linear jungle with a fort and a tiny cave, but there's actually a fair bit more to it elsewhere now I'd doing deeper exploration.
>>566537171Case in point: this random Inca temple I just found on the mainland, because why not.
Seems like the devs really want us to make the meme double shield build.
>>566537367...I didn't hear no bell.Forgot to add about the Inca Temple, but it has an option at the top to enter it. Currently locked though, unsure if it's a puzzle or a quest or whatever to enter it.
What the fuck.Luckily I always have on me the digitised girl so I don't feel so ronery.
Wish there was a game like scav prototype but more freeform instead of always going down.
MY RAT FRENNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>566528796Kenshi would be right up your alley, you start as the literal bottom of the foodchain and have to survive, and by the mid to late game you're such a beast that not even veterans of other factions can touch you.It is amusing to become such a master of martial art that you can straight up amputate bandits with your bare hands, like you're fighting one moment then you're seeing limbs fly across the screen the next.The only issue is that it take fucking ages to get to that point, and need some cheesy methods to raise them at a reasonable pace, especially for thoughness which is one of the most obnoxious one to raise.
>>566542557RIP hasta ria
Sneaking into the middle of a British convoy undetected and sailing along with them while I line up my shot is incredibly satisfying. Even got to estimate their speed by matching mine to them as close as possible, allegedly that's a technique that submariners historically used.This is the first time I managed to score a hit, to bad the torpedo didn't detonate because of mechanical failure. 8 hours in and I've yet to sink an enemy ship.

Starting to understand why people say that the last part of Tainted Grail is badly done.
Any good indies where you play as a wizard? I just want cool skulls and whatnot.
>>566569075Cool skulls?And I guess Balrum, Ziggurat (mostly 2), Barony (some classes), and some shooters, like Wizordrum.
>>566567453Hope the devs keep at it. Tainted Grail 2 could be certified kino.

>>566594256Skill issue. Unironically.
Thinking of picking up Timberborn again, now that it's in 1.0I remember getting a little bored of it because past a certain point you have your basic needs covered and it starts feeling like an idle game. But looks like they've added a bunch of stuff like toxic water and changing terrain that gives you ongoing problems to solve.

>>566560897Good fo you, I just have disdain for blackmsrk studio retardation cause this game's general design is look for 40 guides on the internet or start over you fucking retard this is hardcore. Have they atleast fixed the regattas or you still can win only with exploits?

>>566591726It's a very good game. If you like StS you should like it as well. I played it a shit ton last year when it came out. I haven't tried the DLC though.

>>566617102Onirism.Lolis make me want to keep on living.
>>566618027awww
>>566605440>>566605440Sorry If I sound like a retard, I might be one. I don't like Caribbean Legend nor the devs because of their record shitting up one of my favourite game series with their dog shit quest design and utter refusal to let go of a engine from 2000's. Regatta is just another name for boat races, in Caribbean Legend and subsequently Sea Dogs: To Each His Own (which is what Caribbean Legend is, just a fucking patch for a 2009 mod but history of sea dogs is another story). If you try to take the quest, go on a global map and just swim to the checkpoints that way you will lose because your opponents will just teleport, you will most likely lose the race leader status and you will be jumped by spaniards because fuck you. To actually win it you have to max out the fuck out of your navigation, max out lugger stats (it has to be just a normal lugger, courier lugger is different because fuck you) and have all of the required amulets. Then you need to to turn on direct scale so that you can go between islands without going on global map and on top of that you have to abuse "swim to" menu option to teleport to the harbour, because if you don't you will lose. There's also a moment when your lugger gets attacked by brander and if it sinks it's explosion also takes you down. And it's faster by you.One of the way you deal with it was buying another ship, maxing out it's defence beforehand, putting it outside, going back to your lugger, go outing, watching brander explode said ship and sell the ship back. This all could've been a simple race. Sorry for the sperg out autism does it's things. To get the quest just do like 5-7 auto generated mail delivery quests and then a guy in a port will spawn to give you an invitation to said race. If you played this quest already and didn't have to experience any bullshit I've said then I am a liar faggot. >tl:dr boat race needs exploits to be won
>>566619858Well, I've wanted a good pirate sailing game for a very, VERY long time. Over 20 years at least I'm not sure about beyond that. Specifically what I've wanted is a really good simulation with little to no arcadey feel. where I can get a 1st / 3rd person close-up view during ship combat and for it to have 'weight' to it.Sid Mier's Pirates wasn't it. Black Flag wasn't it, it was good but a touch too much like an arcade game for my taste and get this Assassin bullshit out of my pirate sim pls.Closest I ever found was Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales 1 & 2 way back in the day. The ship combat was basically near perfect for what I wanted and the game was effectively what I wanted, my only problems were that it was kinda bare bones with the first being pure sandbox with no quests that I remember of and the few quests in the second I remember being extremely tedious and dull. More importantly they both had an insane amount of bugs, like one I remember off the top of my head was that the amount of cargo could and would change randomly while sailing to another port, like I'd be holding a fuckton of Mahogany and then suddenly not be and so on. Between those problems I never returned to them.So then more recently I discovered Caribbean Legend on Steam, while hoping for maybe something like Caribbean tales and it looked exactly like what I wanted. Cleared my backlog while letting more patches come in and now that I play it, it's the pirate game I've always wanted and dreamed of. Plenty of quests that aren't boring, plenty of variety, the ship to ship combat feels weighty, no noticeable bugs and so on. Yes, the quest system is a bit jank I did softlock the tutorial day of the story because it expected me to take quests in a specific order and I butchered it, but other than that and missing out on one or two quests I didn't realise were timed but otherwise I've been having a blast and have ruined my sleep schedule on this shit.
>>566619858>>566624012Really the only changes I want are Black Flag's boarding combat and I wouldn't mind getting rid of the world map entirely in favour of having to sail up close and personal all the time. Black Flag's sea shanties would be nice too. Other than that I'm a starving wolf and this is the first piece of meat I've ever really had in 20+ years.
>>566624012Lucky you, the only one I really like is Man O'War, and it's not good.
>>566624012>Closest I ever found was Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales 1 & 2>while hoping for maybe something like Caribbean tales and it looked exactly like what I wantedWould you believe me If I said that Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales 2 is a mod for Caribbean Tales 1 sold as a separate game? And that Caribbean Legend is a patch for a mod for Caribbean Tales 2? That game series history is wack. As for pirate games I do recommend checking out original Sea Dogs and City of Abandoned ships (it actually being Caribbean Tales 2 because Sea Dogs name is held by fucking Bethesda of all people). They do have their fair share of jank and forum wack, like Askold's quest which was added because a forum member whined game wasn't hardcore enough, but nothing on same level as Blackmark's did. Also heard Gentlemen of Fortune mod for it is good. Both games are on gog. They also made New Horizons mod for Sea Dogs 2/Pirates of the Carribean game but I haven't played that. Also check out Sailwind on steam, it might be up your alley.
>>566625526Sailwind is boring AF tho senpai. Following Seas might be more up your ass.
>>566626019alley*
>>566625526>And that Caribbean Legend is a patch for a mod for Caribbean Tales 2?Only if you mean ": Age of Pirates", because "Caribbean tales" uses Sea Dogs: To each their own" as the base.>I do recommend checking out original Sea Dogs and City of Abandoned shipsI'm already enjoying this version, I don't see the need to go back to an older version that probably has a bunch of bugs and stuff. Caribbean Tales is on patch 1.8 right now and feels pretty solid.>Also check out SailwindHas been on my wishlist for a while but it looks, raw isn't the word I'm looking for "unfinished" is probably closer.>>566626019>Following SeasI'm saying this about Sailwind too, but "where's the ship to ship combat?" where's the pirates? That's like the #1 thing I'm here for.
>>566626690>"Caribbean tales"Legend*You know what I mean.
>>566626690Well, Following Seas has a rifle.The one I really love is Sea of Thieves, but its problem is that it's an always-online, always-PvP game, so as a result, if you cheat and play on an private server, the game is extremely boring.
How's Signalis?
>>566626690>Only if you mean ": Age of Pirates", because "Caribbean tales" uses Sea Dogs: To each their own" as the base.Gonna dump some lore now. The original series name is Corsairs in Russia, but due to copyright fuckery it was sold in the west as Sea Dogs with Bethesda as a publisher. Then they fucked up with copyright again, so they shipped Corsairs 3 as Age of Pirates in the west with different publisher. It was 2008 so they got fucked hard as the game they shipped was shit, but Russian modders love digging in utter shit, so a group named Seaward decided to mod the shit out of the game, making Corsairs: Return of the Legend, Akella contacted them and they agreed to sell this total conversion mod as a separate game. Then after 8 moths they shipped another total conversion mod, named Age of Pirates 2 in the west, also sold as a separate game. And in 2012 another forum group creates Blackmark studio, huffs as much of shit as they can and they create Sea Dogs: To Each Their Own which is a total conversion built on top of total conversion built on top of total conversion. Sold as a separate game, now on steam with DLC being dumped in there till 2020. Then 2022 happens, part of the team goes away because war, and the remaining pips decide to sell the same fucking mod on steam with a new paint over it as Caribbean Legend. And then they started selling DLC for that! Also You might've noticed that when you started there were also two more? Well they promised Diego's storyline from 2012 and they after every dlc they've put up they said that they will DEFINITELY finish Diego's storyline after that you can probably guess i hate them, but i do commend their proficient goyim scamming techniques>I'm already enjoying this version, I don't see the need to go back to an older versionSea Dogs is a game from 2000, it has a good story with 4 plot lines to go through and City of Lost Ships also has different shit compared to To Each Their Own
>>566628473depressing
>>566629021You also probably saw Caribbean Legend: Age of Pirates on steam. It's a remaster of a mod for a Blackmark studio mod for City of Lost Ships. The only thing they changed is adding a couple of quests, fucked with the the UI and upscaled portraits with AI. Yep.
>>566578801why dont you coin ricochet your railgun for 2x damage per coin?
>>566629021>>566629554https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk4MVykhbp8Well, they do seem to be putting in a lot of effort for it whatever the story behind it, I'm so used to devs that drop a game at the v1.0 or v1.1, or worse v0.7 stage and leaving the player base to pick up the pieces, that I'm willing to forgive a lot of shit and cut a lot of slack for this alone.
>>566628473clunky
>>566628473Very good. Can be a bit frustrating though.>>566629043Also this.
>>566630064I remember when they said after releasing legend they will make a new Corsairs game... and then they continues putting more and more shit into an already finished product for money while not fixing any of the exploits or bugs in the game but whatever. To Each Their Own I guess ;)Oh, also check out Sunless Sea and Sunless sky If you haven't alraedy. Catches the vibe somewhat.
>>566631345>Oh, also check out Sunless Sea and Sunless skyNot pirate games, don't have the combat I'm looking for.

I'm surprised. Even with no QoL mods at all and just books you the game still ended before the second numa rolled around, and I comfortably had enough aspects for a victory.First time I did hopskotch with the tree shortcuts.
>kill and loot everything>click on everything>listen to all data>no password anywhereNice game boomers. And by that I mean the controls are questionable bad.Can't have 1 button for crouch and uncrouch, nope, need 2 different buttons for that!
OK nevermind it was in a log but audio differs and plays over another so I missed that.>need to e to unbind the courser from freeaim to click a button on the GUI to reload???????What ARE these alien controls?
>>566651064Yes.
>>566561291I really like the idea of massive battles, but the frequency with which I get shoved around is maddening. I'm the opposite of immoveable, every NPC who wants to can shove me aside like I'm standing on a frictionless glass floor.
>>566653667God damn that is a nice treasure chest reward.
>>566653872My ultimate prize however is this beauty, I've gone ages without a ship upgrade so this was needed.
>>566654082What a cutie! What's her name, Cap'tain?
>>566637409Both of the games right now looked fun so I got them both.
>>566651452one button switching between inventory mode and FPS mode is actually something the sequel brought to the enhanced edition remaster of the first game. Be thankful, OG players beat the game wiht the dinky buttons on the sides of the screen for movement and camera turning
>>566654082>>566656171Lady Beth, here's her stats>2.5k hull>10 speed>54.5 manoeuvrability>4k hold>108 crew>20x 16 pound cannonsFor comparison, my old ship's stats I've been using for ages now:>1.1k hull>9 speed>57 manoeuvrability>1.9k hold>72 crew>18x 8 pound cannonsSlightly less manoeuvrability and I liked my old trait, but otherwise a huge upgrade all around.
>>566651064When the game was made, people were still figuring out how to make a game. All the gameplay conventions and QoL stuff you are used to are a product of a lot of trial and error
>>566658262Oh hell. What a beast.
>>566659162Yeah, I've had multiple chances to upgrade to a trader vessel of a higher tier for a while now, but I've been hanging on for this instead of dropping 200k on one.
>>566659872Oh of your old lady, have you sold her, or is she part of your fleet now?

>>566660824i got that bookmarked. >>566660484same, back to waiting
Made it out of the first floor. It was actually way more linear than I thought on first glance. Ammo and medpacks seem plenty so far so I am just using 1 savefile per floor and assume that will go well.
>>566662443Don't worry, it get worse. Roll for anal circumference, mommy Shodan is coming in with the pegging machine and she wants answers.
>>566658631Yeah there is some highly questionable stuff mostly relating to GUI and keys used but it's not disastrous bad. Disabling the HUD and checking the always cursor box does most of the lifting.Still hilarious that the game has 3 keys for laying down, crouching and standing normally. That's some old point&click adventure verb tier of bloat.
Things are getting a bit unhinged.
>>566651064There is a reason a lot of 90's PC games keep an extremely niche audience compared to console games from the same era despite the ease of access.Some of the greatest PC games on the 90's are simultaneously amazing and borderline unplayable.
>>566664702Like Darklands?
Well, anons, I am finally firing up Siralim Ultimate for the first time. Any tips for a noob?

>>566665675Don't get attached to your doods. It's SMT, not pokemon, your monsters are fuel for the fusion blender and you can always get a new sparklefox if your newest crime against god's light isn't good enough.That being said, don't fuse your starters too early. It can be 30+ floors before you can replace them.
>>566665675https://siralimultimate.wiki.gg/wiki/CombatThis covers a lot of basic stuff, and a few things the game doesn't explain fully. But for the most part the game is pretty good at explaining systems and mechanics. I like using that wiki and this site https://siralim-ultimate.rovermicrover.com/ when looking up spells and stuff for brainstorming team builds. The codex is faster at getting general info, searching general terms, etc, but it's less up to date than the wiki I posted earlier.
>>566667454>avoid fusing your starter too earlyI totally did this and regretted it.
Schedule 1 is actually pretty fun.
>>566647569how did you end the game so fast? even if you rush it, you still need to exhaust soul cards to do things and then wait until the next day
>The Brigador Killer demo is thrice as big as the entire first game
Call me crazy, but I swear the first few seconds of the Darkest Dungeon menu theme sounds incredibly similar to the first few seconds of the Pirate Frigate theme from Metroid Prime.

>>566695117Is the lore as horrible?
>>566695957worse
>>566696060It's possible? I remember Sola Nobre being already hell on earth under the Great Leader, and then the corpos arrived when he bit it, with their armies of complete psychos.
>>566695117Looks cool minus the goofy portrait in the bottom corner.
>>566696182now you have those psychos running the government as a police state corpocracy. poor got even poorer and rich got even richer.if before when the great leader decided to pave over your house you'd at least be moved to nearby slums, now they'd just hire a spacer construction company that wouldn't really care whether it's occupied or not and level the whole neighbourhood in a few days.there was at least some semblance of law enforcement before in order to uphold the regime, now the police is just a corporate security branch that doesn't actually do anything except serving whatever stakeholders are paying for. corvids regularly take over city blocks with infrastructure like highways and industrial sites, and nobody bats an eye unless it hurts profits of the affiliated megacorporations.the demo opens with a literal terror strike on a populated urban zone that's met with zero resistance, because there's no army anymore.
>>566697276Jesus. The game looks fun, but the lore is even more depressing than in Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk 2070 already shocked me a lot because of that subscription-based anti-PTSD memory lock that essentially drives you mad if you stop paying, but this is worse than greedy, this is just sociopathic.

Tried Brigador Killers against my better judgement....it's fun. Interesting for a sequel to be actually smaller in scale compared to the original, but I love the whole "Jagged Alliance" aspect of it.
Oh my fucking god I finally did it. I finally beat the first fucking level on hard. Memorizing spawnpoints, aggro lines, and crawling forward an inch at a time. Absolute ballache. Probably took like 10-15 tries.I'm so glad I grew up with Timesplitters 2 instead of 1.
>>566702738Never played Timesplitters 1. How is it?
>>566702776I'm playing Rewind, but as far as I've seen it's a faithful remake, bugs and missing content notwithstanding.It is FAR harder than the rest of the series. Challenges, arcade, and especially the story, enemies deal good chunks of damage and there are very few health pickups. Me and my brother could cruise through 2 and FP pretty easily, barring levels like Atom Smasher. I'm a grownass man now and this is kicking my ass with my own face.I'm almost tempted to emulate TS1 to see just how it truly is.
>>566703241There's also the fact that we paid less attention to our deaths as kids. I remember picking up Crash Bandicoot Trilogy a while ago, and getting shocked that I was dying so often when I remember the playstation games being very fun.
Geez
GEEZ!
YESI DIDGood lord, is the dev insecure or what? I played Brigador after /indie/ recommended it and I really liked it.
I assure you, dear player, that the jiggle physics and cleavage window large enough for its own postal code is absolutely vital.
>>566705463But of course, good developer.
>>566196297I almost always pirate first to try the game and then buy on Steam when I like it.
well this is convenient
>>566707747I like the Cothon UII installed it on my space Tesla
>>566704729>is the dev insecure or what?Brigador 1 got flak from some people because they didn't like the tank controls, and the developer has been consumed by self-doubt ever since
>>566666807CORRU.OBSERVER SPOTTED>tfw waiting for new episodes
>>566668943Soul cards power everything, so it's just efficiency with level ups. Strictly speaking evolving cards to ++ is quite inefficient, which is why I was still surprised that Numa didn't trigger a second time. This is about 4 years in-game time.You can craft most things pretty early on when you know how to get aspects, and after that it's just throwing your pal at rooms while keeping up with your reading. Your original friend will help for free, which spares you having to use up actions looking for help and earning pence at the inn.Not doing salons also keeps thing light, since full course salons take quite a few actions to prepare and I usually do nothing but a salon the days they happen so I have cards on hand for conversation. (Although there's enough food in the house for a couple of easy picnics).
Having a surprisingly good time with UBOAT.I assumed it wouldn't be my cup of tea at all, since the idea of either being hunted while sitting in a tin can 80m under the surface or being the victim of a submarine attack in the middle of the ocean sound absolutely terrifying to me.Also this makes me tempted to try other sims, maybe one with planes. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying a game where 75% of the time you're just waiting for something to happen.
>>566713310Did they implement new submarines to play?I remember the game only having one and that looked different.
>>565948067I HAVE ASCENDED!!!!
>>566714997This little shitbox is the Type II, I think there are 2 variants of it and I'm assuming the on you're thinking of is the Type VII, which has like 4? I decided to start out with this shittier one, just so it feels nice to unlock the bigger sub eventually.Also they've just added the Type IX in a DLC, but that made the recent reviews go to Mixed, so I'm guessing that didn't go too well. From what I understand it's a mixed of too little content for too much money, some performance issues and the new sub feeling more like a reskin with no actual gameplay difference to what's already in the game.
>>566717306Forgot picrel. This thing has 1 (one) bulkhead in the bridge, you can see from the aft officer's bunks all the way to the stern torpedo room, I'm very glad I didn't get attacked in it so far.
>>566711310i really hope that the dev doesn't die midway...or if he does, that enough of his notes are found for a faithful fan reconstruction.
>>566708272That is incredibly sad to read, because Brigador is fun. >>566715930How many worlds?
>>566711310all I can see
>corruCHADS in the threadBasé.
>>566720878The developer gave a talk at GDC 2017 about the failure of BrigadorIt really is sadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUsuusNLxik
>>566703241Your brain is now used to 60 fps, so older games feel super sluggish and floaty, I recall trying dk64 again on a n64 and the framerate were so low it felt like I was playing slow motion which would throw me off.
>>566722868>rerelease Brigador (Up-Armored Edition)>change default controls from tank to twin sticks, a control scheme that was already available in the menus previously>people suddenly like itproblem: people are dumb/lazy
>>566724087>problem: people are dumb/lazyYou gotta cater to the lowest common denominator.
>>566724302You gotta cater to the American standards?
>>566724701>You gotta cater to the American standards?Basically, yes.
>>566724087And here I thought going into the settings before even starting a new game is common sense.
>>566726234>And here I thought going into the settings before even starting a new game is common sense.Lol. I started playing Inquisitor: Prophecy and it was the first thing I did. There's a lot of QoL in there that would have been extremely annoying not to use.
>>566726771Oh they made a sequel to Inquisitor?
>>566726924>Oh they made a sequel to Inquisitor?I actually bought Marty because it said it was about an AdMech Inquisitor. But it turns out that the devs were retarded or the publisher was even more retarded, and decided to merge Martyr and Inquisitor into one game, including DLCs and online features, but for some reason they have left the two games up when you get the same by buying either.
>>566724087>problem: people are dumb/lazymaybe, but at the end of the day you want to sell your game, not to smugly feel superior to lost customers who might have bought your game if they had more accurate expectations or something like that.>>566726234It depends, sometimes I just prefer to start the game "as intended" and only go to the settings once I feel like something is bothering me.
Yes, hello, where is the level up button if you wanted to check something out and didn't pick it in menu?
>starsector>enemy fleet deploys 4 capitals, 8 cruisers and an armada of destroyers and frigates at once>my fleet: sorry bud, best i can do is 1 capital ship or 1 cruiser and a destroyer at a time :)Bullshit
>>566730263Gee wee. If there was just such an option to use more ships simultaneously.
>>566728206>>>/vg/civ4xg/
Creon.
Anyone else tried the new Battlestar galactica game?I feel like I'm going crazy.At the end of a run the game tells me I have leveled up to level 3, then when I start a new run (on same save slot) It tells me my run is now level 0.This has happened to me twice now and I have no clue if I'm just misunderstanding something here, or if the game is just broken.

>>566737332I hate you. Go explode.
>>566728206This game has some of the worst UI I've seen in recent memory, it actually makes me appreciate soc's more.
>>566734969but Scattered Hopes is not a civ or 4x, it's a FTL-like with you running the fuck away from the robots and trying to get to the big ship
Any good match 3 roguelites?
>>566737561yeah, that tri-shot turret mount from the first gameit fires 50 cal herenow i really know how spacers must've felt
>>566658262Now I'm really starting to cook with gas, one day's travel to make 100k on this Coffee (bought 150k, selling 250k) and now I could be able to make another 100k or so on the return trip pretty easily.Even perfectly legal trading can make good coin, if you pay attention to the prices and spot an opportunity with nearby islands.
>>566705463I probably jerked off to the Timesplitters character select screen more often than most things before I got a computer in my room.I miss that unashamed early 2000's western game horniness.
>>566743251Look at that handsome face. I wonder how it would look when his prostate is being squeezed.
>>566743321>early 2000's>unashamed horninessOK ESLEarly 2000s only had appealing characters, nowadays we have millions of literal porn games
>>566740761IMPORTANT: the demo lies, loose items on the ground aren't stocked. I did the first assassination mission (took me 200 bullets), dumped everything on the floor as usual before doing the salvage mission and everything is gone.

>>566745619>>566743321For me it was women's fitness mags that my mom had 3 or 4 issues lying around in the bathroom.I think each of them had a page dedicated "how to improve your love life" or some shit, but also just attractive sweaty ladies in sports bras and shorts did it for me.
So I started playing Replaced, a linear side scroller with some occasional combat, and id say its pretty neat, pixel art is beautiful (albeit I realize there a lot of 2.5d stuff, look nice visually but you can tell its a pixel paintjob on a 3d environment) albeit confusing at time as the color palet make it so certain areas blend together visually which make figuring the path ahead kind of annoying.

>>566750352>beatingsOh yes, a spanking.
>>566745010Obviously I meant that particular brand of unapologetic mainstream gaming horniness, anon. Stuff like Timesplitters and Bloodrayne. We had hentai games back then too.>>566749375Yeah, those two were often the ones I used to get the job done back in the day.
>>566750352Got the ship back where it belongs, got a ton of nation rep for it too which is exactly what I was after.
>>566752639In the previous trading pic I had 900k (after selling my goods), I'm now up over 1.9m after less than two in game weeks.Trading's so good when you understand it and have a good Pursur, I love it. Honestly I could half consider buying a second ship with a huge cargo hold for the explicit purpose of carrying more goods, the only limiting factor here is that I can't carry everything I'd like to carry in one trip, I could carry 5x as much in some cases and make a much bigger profit.
>>566753142What is the "pirate" skill tree for?
>>566753270At the start of the game I picked what I wanted to specialize in.P gets me better use of medium and heavy weapons, cannons, HP per level and carry capacityI is directly linked to my accuracy and stealthR is all dex stuff, weapons, pistols, boarding, energy gained per levelA is my charisma, trade, how much of a discount I get on my officer's payroll, and how fast they level upT is commerce (trading?), gunnery (cannons?), the navigation skill, and more energy gained per rankE is repairs and defence in general, also contributes to HP and max equip loadS firearms, opportunism, stealth, critical hits.There's way(s) to gain more I'm 99% sure, but I'm too early game to really get or make use of them.If I was repicking my stats though I'd want a lot less I and S, and a bunch more A. and maybe P and R too.
Ostranauts does a good job of capturing the feel of space travel: boring and monotonous yet at the same time extremely stressful. You can only fast forward in 6h chunks but interplanetary travel times even with a direct transfer can be over a week. Mostly depending on how high g-force your character can handle.But once floating between destinations, there's nothing to do except sleep, drink, eat, shit, read, exercise.All the while you're stressing out about actually making it.What if you get unlucky with micrometeorite impacts and lose so much atmosphere you can't keep the ship pressurized? What if you run out of hull patches or repair components? What if your nav console crashes midcourse and you have to replan the maneuver? Maybe there's a danger on the course that you didn't notice despite fastforwarding through the entire thing? What if something went wrong 2 AU ago and you won't know before you're too close? What if you don't have enough food or water? Can you afford to use water for hygiene? Can your ship and body handle the high-g decel just before hitting the destination? What if the maneuver is imprecise and you hit a no-wake zone at torch drive speeds with no hope of braking with limited RCS thrust and delta-v?
>>566747947Tower Wizard?
>>566754642Not that anon, but there's a pirate skill tree below soldier and between fencer and adventurer.
my winter car is kinda getting on my nerves because it feels like every update is only making previous things worse for the sake of making them worse only, starting to feel like stagnation and I hate that because I love this dumbass game
>>566749375>ariel davinciEven at the time, at the young age of 10, I wondered how the everliving fuck that character design actually made it into a retail videogame.Anyway, it was Jungle Queen for me. Loaded up TS2 in co-op sometimes just for her.
>>566753142>>566757093Oh, yeah I guess there is.The left branch is bonuses for medium and curved weapons, basically sabres and machetes etc. The start and the right side is energy bonuses that ends with even more medium, curved weapon bonuses.

>>566754642You already explained that, I meant this.
I played the indie game called making a foxtail with a tennis ball and shoelace today. Pretty fun, but a bit buggy. I hope they patch it so that the ball stops slipping out of the lace every 5 throws.
This is like 30th time I am seeing this screen.And it probably won't be the last.
>>566784878Cringe.
>>566785217Why
>>566785393that's the game wher eyou bully Bee.
>>566754696I've been thinking about trying that game out. Seems to be more mechanically complex than I first thought. How hard is it to learn? Does it have proper tutorials or are you expected to learn from watching youtube tutorials?
>>566784878Tonal whiplash: the game. I wish I could disable all the story and dialog. Maybe then it could have been good. Just let your players fill in the blanks and tell their own stories instead if you're a talentless hack writer, much preferable to Katy t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m mixed with le grimdark.
>>566785610I do feel bullied but I do respect the game so much for not holding back. Never seen a puzzle game be this hostile to the player, but at no point it felt unfair.>>566786572Someone can't handle some cute yuri comic relief.

>>566791919It's worth acknowledging. If I'm in a Lisa thread, I'll do the same thing. Then again I usually have to call out the low IQ retards who think the game is BASED and MASCULINE when it's cookie cutter turbo feminism. I just want indie writers to stop being cringe.
