Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
Decided to train all my guards at the same time. Instead of by chunks as I was doing before.
The Seatruck is one of the few things they did right in this game, even if its not as cool as the Seamoth and Cyclops.I like how you can customize it and it works as a mobile base.
I'm fine with goggles actually(they do not let you make the goggles).
>>567971103I need to paint it a new color and drop some less useful modules though.
Ok... so the car is a remnant, and remnants latch onto a person and worm their way inside that person's mind. Then eventually the person goes crazy and wanders off into the zone in search of the we-have-a-wish-granter-at-home. >Maybe its already happening... have you found yourself... thinking more about the car lately?Yes, yes I have. The game is literally designed around it. Its hard not to by design. I get it, very cool mr developer guy. I also liked MGS2. Its not that complicated....But...Are Oppy, Tobias, and Francis even real? I mean, theyre just voices on the car's radio. Voices that want to help you escape by... having you drive deeper and deeper into the zone to find the well. I mean, the player is just along for the ride. In order to keep playing the game you have to keep pressing buttons, even if that means letting the car/narrator keep psyoping you. I mean, if the objective to progress is to find the well... the only way to not succumb to the remnant's control is to just stop playing the game. Yes, congrats on how much control you have over the player's experience in the game you made, mr. gamedev. Good job, point made. You're so powerful.
>>567971316So... the docking bay fills with water... then the cockpit attatches to the rest of the vessel?
>>567971103>>567971316I'm actually pretty sure people really dislike the seatruck.I'm kinda split on it. I'm with you that I love the modularity and how you can detach the front to get into tight spaces, but it's no cyclops.>>567972669To be fair the cockpit can detach while you're out in open water too and the back closes up I think
>>567972161I really couldn't care less about the story. The only good thing about it is that it's easy to ignore.I like the remnant thing on a meta lever, as a justification why you, the player are so obsessed about modifying and upgrading the car in the car modification and upgrading game.>Are Oppy, Tobias, and Francis even real? Haven't finished the game yet and unsure if I ever will, but was wondering the exact same thing
>>567972845Ah, ok. So you take the helm, the vessel and cockpit seal, the chamber is flooded, now the cockpit can float over to the vessel and attach, and the conjoining ports open up once theyre joined.
>>567925463Even unused warehouses suffer random explosions in Ixion>>567953743>"Don't build here, we'll probably change the terrain a lot">YOU CANT DO THIS TO MEEEEE
>>567889262Why in the fuck did this random ass pirate captain have 117 Icon lamps stuffed in his personal chest? He also had 97 Shoe. Not 97 pairs of shoes, 97 individual shoes.
>>567974884>forgot picreee
>>567974884>>567975105Wait he also had 219 silver jugs and another 26 shoes I didn't even notice that, I was just masking "take all" and assumed it'd take all, I wasn't expecting to go overweight looting one chest.
>>567974884I dunnowhy does the local crackhead have 97 bikes? Bikes without front wheels or seats.
>>567974383>"Don't build here, we'll probably change the terrain a lot">YOU CANT DO THIS TO MEEEEEWho was complaining about this?
>>567977135Not him but I was assuming the game. The one you just lost.
>>567977339bitch
Riddle me this /indie/ (Lingo spoilers)What word contains "wheel" in text, meaning and diction?That is, what 11 letter word contains the text "wheel", the pronunciation for "wheel" and is in reality found as part of a wheel?Some fucker has done some fuckery in adjacent IPs so I can't post an image but you can pretend there are 3 blue blocks with one 11 letter word input
>>567977756I can't believe it was fucking wheelbarrow
>>567977942that was going to be my guess.
All I have left to do is try to properly explore this pit.I miss the prawn suit.
>>567967191retard
>>567947008The worst case of half assed optimization I've seen to date is the way Activision bundled the COD games on xbox, basically you have access to all campaign or something, but these jackasses didnt even compress shit so its like 350gb total, I recall how it pissed my cousin off because he basically had to wipe his xbox hardrive every time he wanted yo play cod, and transfer the gamefiles to a external drive whenever he wanted to play something else. Either that or take 2 whole days to download everything, every time he wanted to play cod or anything else.Shit like this made me glad I abandoned console gayming decades ago.
>>567979874Just an invisible wall and something I can hear but can't see.Guess that's all for subnautica 2 for now.
>>567980057>350gbJesus. I would ask how that even happens, but then I remember that I work as a software dev and know enough people who just don't give a shit as long as they can shit out results in high volume. Or how every now and then you just grow jaded by middle management's "just get it done and fix it up later" attitude, when the aforementioned "later" never comes because there's always some new and shiny requirements to chase.Reminds me of the worst absurd case of what I assume to be deep seated technical debt: In Crusader Kings II if you start a singleplayer game and return to main menu, you can't join a multiplayer lobby until you restart and vice versa. The button just becomes greyed out, I have absolutely no clue how that's possible. I think you don't even have to actually start a game, just clicking singleplayer and looking at the list of saves or clicking multiplayer and looking at the serverlist is enough.
>>567973067Just finished it, youre not missing out on much. You get to the well and its some portal to some weird space with a bunch of tvs and you walk through it while listening to the memories of the voices on the radio. Oppy and Francis reestablish radion conection and the ghost of tobias hops on the radio and its all sappy stuff. Then you find you car and a big downhill jam to escape before it blows up or something. Get back to the garage and Oppy decides to leave the zone while francis stays to continue researching it and driver is free from the remnant's control to do more post-game drives Probably gonna drop it now, but it was a fun ride.
>>567977942That's two words you arschgeigenhurensohn!
>>567983256I assumed as much, I mostly played it for the scavenging and driving.As I said it mainly makes me wish for a game that I could see glimpses of in there. Stalker but with a large open world and a car, maybe with some Voices of the Void life sim stuff, I dunno.If I was a billionaire, I'd blow all my money on being the idea guy for games like this instead of lobbying the government to multiply my wealth.
>>567975920Trying to fight a ship in a tornado doesn't go terribly well.
Anyone played Hobo Tough Life? Just picked it up since its on sale for 8 dollariedoos. Seems neat. Open world survivalcraft but your a slav bum living in a city
>>567983134>who just don't give a shit as long as they can shit out results in high volume.Now now, we don't talk about our boss's boss like that.I'm corpo IT but I bet is the same bs
>>567972845My memory is vague, but Cyclops didn't do anything super especial other than being able to carry vehicles and being a mobile base. It was too big even for the first Subnautica map.The Seatruck seems to do an okay job.
>>567985456>It was too big even for the first Subnautica mapOne of my fondest Subnautica memories was spending what felt like half an hour maneuvering it into the into the lost river inch by inch through a path that was most definitely not designed for it
>>567985456The seatruck is a soccermom invention
How would you describe Disco Elysium? I saw you could hoard money in it. I like money...
>>567988837Hobo simulator
>>567988837If you don't buy it and put the money on stocks instead you can make infinite réal growth happen
>>567988837It's kind hard to describe, really. The money hoarding thing is only a tiny part of it.It's a detective game where you play an eccentric drunkard trying to solve a murder case why also getting up to an absurd amount of shenanigans.It's an RPG where you don't have really have combat, but some of the more important dialogues do feel like verbal battles.It's one of those games where you want to unlearn a few of the habits you've accumulated over years of playing. Note very dialogue should be exhausted, not every failed check is a bad outcome etc etcI was on the fence about it for years and then absolutely fell in love once I actually tried it.

>>567994687You are totally right, I explained it the other way around.
I'll be real, for some reason this hits me way more now than it did the first time I saw this scene while I was going through a bad breakup myself
>>567985149So far its pretty fun. Maximun slavjank. The main story is to get enough votes to be elected the Beggar King from your fellow bums in the city.Have to manage health, hunger, warmth, and moral. Moral is pretty hard to manage because pretty much everything drains it. Different skills you level up by using them and trainers to teach you perks once they trust you and you meet the skill conditions for them.
>>567947008UI is not that heavy and having leftover assets and code that isn't used has been a thing since pretty much forever.
>players in project gorgon are nice and helpful to the point that makes me think everyone has ulterior motives>join soulmask dicksword to ask for help about some obscure mechanics that the chink devs don't bother to translate>they are extremely helpful tooI think like 2 decades of internet has broke me. I'm no longer used for people to be nice to me.
>>568001459I feel like I'm on the other side of this divide. I generally try to be a kind and helpful person and often when I see people start shit or be dickheads online for no apparent reason I just can't wrap my head around it why anyone would act like that.
Does ΔV have an overarching story?
Fuck me dude, every god damn time I do the part in Disco Elysium where you find the guy who died while eating a Kebab, I get so fucking hungry for Kebab. I think I didn't have a good one in months, I used to live next to the best kabab places in town but now all of them are quite far away, expensive and the ones I tried are kinda mid.>>568007637I don't think so. Unless you count the story of you getting rich
ol' reliable
Insane drop, especially for a Witch Doctor build.
>>568007637it has some stories going on, usually about one of your crew members, but nothing overall i'm aware of. it's mostly a setting
>>568007637It seems like there's supposed to be some kind of plot involving inexplicable AI incidents and geological anomalies referred to only in text and ganymede and what (((the company))) has to do with all of them but the game is 7+ years into development, three years out of early access and the mysteries are just as inscrutable as ever.The game part is finished but whatever story is meant to be present is obviously not.
>>568007637To add to what >>568010821 said. In the patch notes there's a lot of lore and hints of what is happening and what happened.
>>568010020wat gayme
>>567984178I've said it before, but the ship combat in this is really damned good, I just hadn't realised how good.In something like black flag the boat is one or two hurt boxes and the masts a few more or something like that, here the hurt boxes are precise and you can be real specific in your shots. For example if you aim specifically at the mast itself rather than just the sails and aim well then you've a high chance of snapping it off entirely with chain shot, but if you aim elsewhere on the sails then even a hundred shots will just rip the fabric and do nothing to the mast. There's a ton of specifics but that's an obvious one I've been noticing.

>>568024771The secret town has a redskin who's wearing full European noble finery, and he's been trapped in the brothel here for a month now apparently.
>>568024771I mean, if we stick to the naval combat, Man O'War has some magic, but the best part is the hit detection. Nothing like firing grapeshot at the enemy bridge and see enemy crew drop.But it certainly lacks Assassin's Creed's mortars or floating barrels: cannons and the occasional fireball are all you get.
>>568023714Yeah, we can overcome fucked up fights like that no problem.
>>568024945>>568025028The hit detection is highly precise as far as I can tell, and each cannon is its own individual thing when you do precision aiming instead of just "shoot stream of cannonballs at X point".
>>568025308...huh. I'm interested now.
>>568023526>What is this? You can have NPCs and lead them into battle? I am very interested, tell me more o tell me more~It's like ARK but a hell of a lot less buffy. The main enemies are human NPCs. You can recruit enemies to your tribe, equip them, level them up and do bosses and such.I have 70 hours and so far it has been a very solid open world survival craft.Also weird that you haven't seen me posting webms about it in the past.
>>568025556Ha, it's Soulmask. And none of the webms really caught my eyes: when you wake up and see you missed 200 posts during the night, you usually skip them.
>>568025653Come to the jungle Anon. Become techno aztec grugg.
Game's pretty good, but also pretty hard. Died my first few attempts and just restared because the game slap you with a semi-permanent -10 to all needs per death. You can get rid of it, but it costs 4k to do so. Been struggling to keep my energy up and poison down. A lot of the consumables raise your poison and it adds up quick. Starting to make some alright money now that my begging and speech are leveling up, so spending 60 gold on a porn mag to fully refill my moral is whatever. I can already tell that I'm not going to be ready for winter.

>>568026714Eventually made my comeback with even more cheating.To cut this guy's long story short, he sold his entire tribe into slavery to the Spanish for 10 Doubloons each, he also sacrificed a few dozen people to the local god at the old Aztec temple and got granted his wish of a year's travel cruise holiday around Europe and his little 'holiday' is now concluding in this brothel. He thought signing up for a month's stay way a good idea at the time.He also pointed me to where I can also go sacrifice people to the god to get my own gains if I want to (yes).

I didn't think I'd ever see difficulty selection in a lego game.'Limited lives' was a gameplay mode I wanted to see back when it was just Star Wars. 20 years later, I finally get it.
>>568051012Lots of readingor waiting for text to be read to you.
>>568054876fuck is this
Just found out about Hardcore mode in Siralim. I guess I'm gonna be playing this shit all year.
>>568054876It's impressive how tapped in the lego devs are.
>>568057703Exactly.
>>568051012As the other anons said, get read for a few game overs. It took me way too long to realize, but Volition and Endurance also double as your physical and mental health.But my first run also had 1 FYS and I did fine, you can just hoard healing items and the game lets you pop them as your health is dropping to 0, plus you get a way to increase the number of points you can pt into Endurance pretty early on.Also some of the INT stats have some amazing dialogue behind them, so have fun with those
>>568069753>Also some of the INT stats have some amazing dialogue behind themJust... don't max encyclopedia.
>>568069957Encyclopedia has some pretty funny lines though. Also it and Wompty-Dompty Dom Centre are half the reason I'm basically drowning in skill points here. I haven't even started the Church or Cryptozoologist questlines yet.It's also funny, when me and a friend watched a third friend play the game for the first time, the second friend was baffled how much of the worldbuilding he missed from his low int build, because the skill never told him any of that shit.Also maybe I'm just a bit of an Encyclopedia guy irl, love me some trivia and random info about things that nobody else cares about
I normally don't play animu games, anyone tried this? Any tips for a good hunter team, and who to take as support hunters for the main character? Anything else I should know?
first actual update in three yearswoot
I swear I can hear the CrossCode soundtrack in World Trigger
>>568071898Why would a game called solo leveling require "support hunters"? I think solo refers to being alone.
Tried Black Messa.I'm a bit disappointed, it was hyped as "Half-Life: Definitive Edition", like the Source port but actually good, and, well.It feels like Half-Life but in the Half-Life 2 engine, so not that interesting, sadly. Through I do appreciate a lot of the new features, I keep trying little things I was used to in Half Life and getting annoyed it doesn't work.
It does look good, but so far, all it does is making me want to reinstall Abiotic Factor. Or Half Life.It doesn't help that it only has English dubs.
>already a reactor leakAnd this is before Gordon Frohman's cheese was send to the test chambeeeeer...
>there are scientists down thereI watched enough Chernobyl to know these poor fuckers are burnt by the dragon's breath. Even if this isn't a demon core, this is very bad.
Ha, Black Messa....I kinda miss the old room, this one feels oddly off-center.
>mandatory casserole ruiningHaaa, I feel better.Also, funnily enough, the people present when you ruin the casserole tell you to book it, since this is "Doctor You-Know-Who's dish", and that they're never going to hear the end of it.
I'm playing Darkwood. Does juicing myself with shroom juice to improve my character influence the ending of the game? Logically speaking I wouldn't want to inject myself with that shit.
>>568080036No. You can inject all you want. All it does is sometimes complicate things.
>>568080092thanks
Ha, the Combinaison de Protection en Milieu Hostile. I missed you, babe. I need to meet the Oratrice Mécanique d'Analyse Cardinale.
>>568077793There's like.. a couple chapters early on in the anime / manga where he starts solo clearing shit, and then becomes a necromancer using his summons to clear shit. He occasionally fights with comrades, but he "levels" by himself. It's not a very good show, but I'm hoping the game will be entertaining.
>bla bla bla let's a goOh the fuckers, they blocked my shortcut.>>568080454Sounds like MMOslop, rather than the fantasyslop I hoped for.
>>568080508Yeah it's a mix of the "sucked into a video game" and "getting isekaid" story. Basically it does play in the real world (if you believe Korea is real), but sometimes portals open with dungeons inside, and people with abilities called hunters enter these dungeons to kill the boss which makes them disappear. Hunters are ranked S to E, the protagonist is E level, and is known as "the weakest hunter" until one day he eats shit and dies in a dungeon, after which he gets ressurected but now he has a video game like "leveling" and daily quest system interface that only he can see, granting him the ability to farm exp and become more powerful than every S rank hunter combined. The story is quite shit and mostly consists of enemies underestimating him, and him thanks to his solo leveling killing them without breaking a sweat. The kids call it "Aura farming" I call it boring slop with no tension.
>"they're waiting for you, Gordon">"in the test chambeeeeer"Okay that pronunciation was weird.>>568080952Then yeah, it sounds like utter shit. There was a manga I was recommended that sounded fun, until I realized it was just the mangaka described his perfect MMO, but luckily, the devs (in-universe) started releasing AIs in the game, so that made the story interesting again, because the devs are actually experimenting with AI, it's not like /hack/ where it seems unclear what is going on.Sadly still uses the same tired trope of "solo-levelling guy gets insanely strong but still get treated like shit", but not to the level I saw in Shield Hero or your thing.Man I hated Shield Hero. Interesting premise, then it turns into a rape-and-revenge slop.
>>568071898theres the gacha game version, its basically the same shit, the overdrive version basically just removes the 'gacha' element of the game and turns it into a normal game
In Black Messa, these two are explicitely Dr Eli Vance and Dr Isaac Kleiner.Both Jewish.
fucking pog face
Man, this is fucking beautiful.
Man that game looks fucking good.
>>568081386Honestly I wish more games would do that. I liked some of metal gear attack reloaded or whatever it was called, I'd be open for more gachaslop that has the "actually paying" bit removed.

Finished MashinaIt's alright for 10 bucks, you just mine and give npcs items in three different biomes that are just colored differently, but going from slowly mining alone to mining together with 10 different bots that pulverize the muck around you is satisfying.

why hasn't he killed himself yet
>>568080036Hell yeah dude, one of my favorite games of all time, especially on your first time though. Hope you enjoy it.
>>568084275>>568081386Speaking of: are there any games that have gacha like character collection mechanics and all that powering up jazz, without the paying shit? I would totally play a gacha game where you just grind for characters at a reasonable rate instead of buying pulls.
>>568082452I didn't like the way Xen looked. Don't get me wrong it was beautiful, but that's precisely the problem.In HL Xen looked like a desolate hellscape making you really feel like it's the end of the line.In BM it's a lush jungle full of wonder and possibility.I liked the overall layout, the signs of the researchers exploring, the puzzles, the industrial areas and the various other details, but they really messed up with the jungle look.

>>568103783Female gatcha games ask about female periods because apparently the characters become more loving and caring when your on it or something and its easier to get women to spend money on the game because it plays with their emotions or something.It would be like if the male gatcha games literally had an item you could buy for 100 bucks that allows you to roll sex with a character.
>>568105450>I actually have fantasy generalwhy are you buying things you're not playing
>>568105685>the characters become more loving and caring when your on it or somethingeasy for them, they're not around for when they're absolute fucking bitchmonsters out for blood because they're going to be losing theirsfucking awful

>>568105707I won it when GoG was doing their gatcha give aways, I'm still upset in the final one they did they botched the give away and I never got the game and then when they had a window where you could email them and get it redeemed I was working like over 100 hours of overtime and when I emailed the day after they told me "no". So they just took my money and never gave me anything, I'm still kinda salty about that. I wonder if that's why they stopped the gambling events on Gog.>>568105867Well they also aren't real so they are allowed to be perfect, if they were real, even if they were crazy hot, reality would grind them down so fucking hard so I'd say that thinking that way is unproductive.
>>568103034>decaff
>>568096767That is because Xen in Half-Life is a refuge for a lot of different dying races. In Black Messa, it's an alien world.

>>568106764>>568111010Think of him as this world's head priest of Scientology, if Scientology actually did something.
>>568112203How does he know so much? Is he human?
>>568112203>>568112469I mean, he says all this, but he also managed to magically make all my ship hulls 10% stronger permanently and all enemy ship hulls 10% weaker, as well as my top speed 5% after and many other things, so there's definitely more going on than what he claims here.I also shot him the moment I saw him because he spooked me, did absolutely nothing. Doesn't seem too human to me.
>>568113437I mean, that skull bit might be a mask, but his arms, good lord, his arms are unnaturally thin. He reminds me of Zelda.

How much content does Subnautica 2 have atm? Compared to either 1 or BZ for references I guess
>>568113437Man, now that I actually changed the firing style to something I can predict, I'm absolutely loving the precision aiming in ship to ship combat. One well aimed shot and I took down two of this guy's three masts because he very kindly lined them up neatly in a row for me.

I can't beat Abaddon Fighter Grapefruit. There's no way to avoid this attack.
>>568120339that Floor Texture is causing me pain
>>568132858it's not that badif you took charge you can use it to absorb the smaller stuff
>>568115192The hard part of getting 30 of these fuckers is knowing when I have 30 of them, they're all milling around so I can't count them properly.
>>568132863If I increase terrain texture the foliage density makes me barely be able to see small enemy animals.Yes, I am cheating.
>>568133073Type B's charge can only absorb like three hits, and Type C's can't do shit about projectiles coming from behind.Actually did beat him, after using all my continues, because that time he just never did that particular attack.
>>568134207Another problem with high foliage/ground texture. The aloe plants are hard as fuck to spot, and when you are walking for 10 minutes through the jungle, the visual fatigue makes the aloe practically invisible.
>>568135826If there is the right tool, I can also help you with these tasks.
This was funny in Half Life. This is tragic in Black Messa.
Winter is here...
;_;i miss when scitist said STOP, NO, and EUAH
>two blogposters at the same time>but when I'm wageslaving or sleeping there's noneI hate all of you.Also I should try the Black Mesa game.
>>568139316It's okay, but keep in mind it's a mod, not Half-Life Definitive Edition.And fucking hell, headcrabs are something even more horrifying. Now they genuinely digest your head after killing you.
>>568117595>>568089801There's a demo that pretty much encapsulate the gameplay loop

>>568146427https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGkGil90Wco
>1 500 bulletsDamn, I could beat the entire game with that!>>568147335EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Look at this dork, he didn't build a toilet in his dumpster!To be honest, the more I read about headcrabs, the more scared I am of them. I always throught you'd die from suffocation very quickly, with people claiming the zombies in Half Life 2 being still alive were wrong, but Alyx confirmed that they're still alive.
>>568147335>>568147484>>568146427no
I dislike Black Messa because I feel it drags on (I have met and defeated in single combat around fifty headcrabs, but I feel like I only met 5 alien_slaves so far, and maybe 2 bullsquids), but this part was great: you put on a valve, and you turn the valve, and it locks your view on the thing you're currently turning, whereas in Half-Life, it was a bit of a mystery what it did.>inb4 "well it's written water pump"I did not speak a single word of English as a kid, so you could put all the panels you wanted, I would never read them.it made Star Trek Voyager Elite Force a pain in the arse to play because you're told "hey Munro go to the hangar", and there are plans all around the ship, but if you can't read them, you're left wandering the Voyager.>>568147852wow, she's pissed.
Welp, I'm stuck. I have no idea what to do.DSP-senpai, please help me!

As a former security agent IRL, YES!ALWAYS assume that, at anytime, anywhere, there will be an emergency, and that, therefore, the emergency equipement must be accessible!!!
>>568157302>KESFHDoesnt have enough of a ring to it
A little something I like in Black Messa is that the houndeye show damage when you shoot them. More games need to add that, I only remember Doom Eternal doing that. And maybe Serious Sam, but it was more of a flat texture being set to transparency 0 as you lower the monster's HP.>>568157465Sadly, "don't be a self-centered nigger" doesn't roll off the tongue.And it also makes my Hawaiian coworker look at me funny.
>>568103034Coffee dehydrating you is an urban myth. It's not as efficient as straight water, but it takes a lot more than a few scoops of coffee to negate a mug of water worth of moisture.
>>568157765I thought it was alcohol that dehydrated you? Not enough water in it, and beer makes you urinate.
>>568158407>>568157765A cheeseburger is unironically hydrating. Its not a hard bar to pass
>>568159050You know what's hydrating? Seeing your mother cook lmao
>>568159136My mom's dead, jerk.
>>568159601Ok I will!
>>568159601I bet she cooked nicely before her demise though. A mother's cooking always smell like heaven.
>>568160156Do you not think though that jerk seasoning was a little culturally insensitive?
>>568160380>Do you not think.I had beer. I do not think. I am become death.
>>568160156Me mum mixed a ton bisquick and cheese into ground sausage and rolled it into balls and baked them. It tasted like burnt cheese and sausage fat while having the dry mouth effect of mcdonalds biscuits. Like, holy shit just make hamburger helper, pls god....

okay zoomer
The large number of Pirate corpses on the way here have pretty gruesome scan entries ('this specimen's had his legs broken' and 'this one has severe brain trauma' and 'this Pirate's had its exoskeleton chemically welded together') but I've never noticed the fucking blood splatters here.
>>568163556How do you play this. On PC.Tell me your secret, my brother left to the capital with the Wii and the copy of Metroid Prime.
This shit blew my fuckin mind as a kid>>568164453Playing the Prime Trilogy through the Dolphin emulator. Specifically Primehack, which is a fork of Dolphin built for this that makes it control very similarly to a modern m+kb FPS (ie fixing the reticle to the center of the screen) along with optimizations and fixing a few bugs within the game itself like the non-respawning Ice Shriekbats, somehow.
>>568165740Ha, an emulator. I hoped for some kind of remake/port, like for Timesplitters Rewind.Man these visuals take me back. The game was so simple that it was almost relaxing to play.
>>568165906>almost relaxing to playRight up until you meet the Chozo Ghosts.
Finally, a new Discolike
Damn, I failed to save the scientist here. Half Life 2's barnacles kill faster than Half-Life 1's.
Prime Trilogy at 3x internal resolution vs the Switch remasterI know not everyone likes it but I think it looks good. Could've gone lighter on the special effects though.
>>568167931Getting Black Messa vibes where everything is a lot darker with higher contrast.
>>568103670Nabbed Space Grunts. Fun little game.
>>568103670I so want to nab Pinball Spire, but I have too many games already. If anyone gets it, please let me know if it's good.
>>568168019They have exposed themselves.
>>568139807
>>568176114Yeah, Black Messa makes headcrab really scary again. Like, the Barney that get zombified have their skeletal jaw handing by a few nerves.
>the game spun off from a dead Garry's Mod server is more popular and higher rated than the actual successor to GModoof

>>568161131That metal slug trailer is showing so little gameplay but so many bombastic video effects it's actually worrying.Reminds me of thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K00DCK1l98
>>568185553Yet another game I fell hard for because the trailer looked good. Like Yandere Simulator.
>>568161131Please tell me this isn't the Metal Slug teased during the 30th anniversary video
>>568187783It's funny, I've always dismissed all the scav-posting (and that other game that isn't Scav but looks like it?) as weirdo furryshit, but after seeing the /egg/mans video on it I can definitely see the appeal.Probably still not for me, I got enough sadness simulators already.
>>568189723>but after seeing the /egg/mans video on it I can definitely see the appeal.I worry how much is my take on it and how much is me appropriating a youtuber's opinions as mine just because I think his other stuff is interesting sometimes
>>568190045I mean at the end of the day you're always gonna be influenced by other people's opinions either consciously or unconsciously.I know what you mean though, when I was younger that was definitely a problem, where I would just parrot some online personality's take (and it being a good take didn't change that I was just parroting it, often without fully understanding what they meant or having experienced whatever lead them to that opinion) and that applied all the way from which video games are bad to my political opinions.But it feels like that has just gotten better with age. I'm in my late 20s now and even though I'm obviously still influenced by the people I listen to, I feel more like my opinions are my own, or at least a mix and match. If I hear someone have a take I agree with, I can integrate it into what I already believe and discard the parts where I think they're wrong etc.And sometimes, like in this case, all you can do is just be aware of it. All I knew about the game was based on a handful of screenshots I've seen and then someone who likes the game made a video explaining why it's actually good and showing a bunch of shit that appeals to me, so as long as I'm aware that it's a "second hand" opinion, I don't fuss about it.
>>568190045You have no opinions either way, you just an NPC.
>>568191317no, that'd be nice.
>>568191272yeah I just never thought about it other than some sadistic fetish game and then I was "huh, maybe there's more to it"
This shit still fucks me up to this day
>>568193932What is going on?And fucking hell, Kim is THE GOAT.
>>568194043Spoiler for the working class husband quest that you get around Day 2 and usually finish around Day 3 or 4, depending when you decide to explore where.You find her dead husband who has been missing for a few days and have to tell her. It's absolutely gut wrenching. I've never failed this check, I can't imagine how bad it gets if you do
Try strident. It'll change your life.https://cross-bearer.itch.io/strident
>>568194329Oh.
>>568194493I think the worst part is the "preamble" when you knock and come in and she's all nervous because obviously something is up for the police to show up at her place and even says stuff like oh, is my husband in trouble again? Do I need to pick him up from the station?I'm genuinely fascinated how the game manages to pull of having shit like this in the same game as some of the goody insane shit. I think the fact that those two sides of the game can coexist amplifies the effectiveness of both. The serious parts wouldn't hit so hard without the goofy shit and the goody shit wouldn't be such a relief from the cruelty of the world, if that's all there was to it.
>>568194954I'm getting very, very uneasy reminders of the very start of Twin Peaks. When Laura Palmer's parents find out she's not in her room, the mother worries, the father's like "oh she's probably at a friend's", and he spots the sheriff walking in, spotting him, and walking toward him, and... Nothing is said. He just whispers "sherif", and drops his phone.
>>568195065I mea n fuck, even irl when I give or get bad news, for some reason the moments just before stick in my mind forever. When in retrospect you feel as if you knew all along the news was coming and feel silly for naïvely hoping that everything was fine.
>>568195559Yeah, I get you. I remember when I learned that my mother was dead. He called me while I was at work, and made small talk, which is very unusual. Then he said it.
>>568188309The games a year old.
>>568194954I miss The PigsI hope she's still pigging it out somewhere out there
Wish Soulash 2 had a proper wiki.Coming back to a game like this sucks when there's no good resource to browse all the stuff that's changed. Steam is fucking awful for that, guess I'll browse the patch notes via steamdb

>>568195808Shit man, that's rough.Funny you mention small talk though, one of your skills tells you specifically to NOT do that and just skip right to the point and get it over with.>>568199101Same. It felt really nice to tell Titus about it and have him say he and the boys will take care of it at least.>>568205718He gives you a little encouragement before and after. It's really nice.
Retrying Enshrouded.I really don't like that you have to build specific safes to access your stock, but being able to teleport anywhere (almost) anytime is really handy.>>568206957That's how I'd do it, honestly.But I'm quite asocial so I always assume it's better to cut the chatter and deliver the bad news right away.
Is Kynseed any good?
>>568210453Kin seed? That's incest
>>568114241Took me 15 hs to complete at a normal pace. Didn't play Subnautica 1 in early access but I guess it's pretty good as is, considering it already has co-op functionality.
>>568210783So is that a yes?
>>567979874 Nobody cares but the circle like structures in the hole's walls makes me think it's a dead adult clam that got bored by roots.

>>568215812My wife and Hobo: Tough Life
>>568205718I think the only time in the game Kim is mechanically detrimental is when you're trying to ask Joyce about the Pale and when you're trying to ask out Lilienne. Otherwise he's at worst neutral, and oftentimes beneficial even if not mechanically.
I have done basically nothing but play Lingo for the past three days.My brain was tired two days ago. It is now drawn, dragged through the dictionary by a relentless search for dopamine.I no longer try to find my way through corridors. I just walk. I know I won't know how to reach a place if I don't know the route by heart, so I just randomly walk through the whole place until I stumble upon it. This sometimes takes a long time, time in which I ponder what the fuck kind of answer was I supposed to give to that one cube or the other.I will confess, looking for answers is not beyond me. I harbor no regrets in this regard, I'm at peace with the fact that I had no idea of what the hell "Betwixt" meant. Not that I didn't know the word "ere". These are not the problem, the problem are the ones I know I can know but I can't answer.A panel with numbers sits before me, reading 906234. A blue box behind it, answer is two words, 6 and 4 letters each. Given context clues and that I know the colors by heart, it's trivial. Strand room is the answer.That's one less. There are 800 of these. Then there's another level. I made the mistake of taking a look at the map, it's as big as this one. Then there's the library.Then there's a whole second game.Nevertheless they fall, one by one, this is no victory, this is masochism.Two panels remain in the room. The ones with the simplest rules. Mocking me.Seriously though I should get a badge for this
>>568217071Good job.

Good lord, I hope there's gonna be even even harder content to compensate for this next level of power.
I did it! I beat Big Gold or whatever she was.I feel like I never properly defeated Grapefruit, though.
>>568227741Congrats?
>>568229236Thank you, thank you.I still need to kill the ultimate final boss in the beginning of the universe to get the true ending and escape the cycles of guilt, and I'll need to clear the game again before I can even try. Still, I feel good about things.
>>568229909I HAVE KILLED MY MENTOR, YET I AM NOT HIS MURDERER.
>>568133865I've never made a webm before, but I wanted to try and record one of the ship cannon aiming. Here's me trying to take down the masts of a Heavy Galleon so I can steal all his gold bouillon, he's about twice my size, twice my cannons and has 3x my crew. If I can take down his masts and sit in his dead zone for a few minute peppering grapeshot, even titans can be made to kneel.
>>568167225I've been looking forward to Thousand Hells, from the dev of King of Dragon Pass / Six Ages

>>568250095i couldn't go through it because all the way i kept thinking "this isn't disco." it seemed like an alright game and this is probably a me issue.
>>568225087>>568250095>>568253461I loved DE and would still recommend Esoteric Ebb, but I can absolutely imagine how one would like the first and not the latter.And I think it's kinda interesting how that probably has nothing to do with the gameplay itself, but rather the writing of the game, which definitely has a different tone.I will say though, I think the writing does get pretty good at times. The (massive spoilers for backstory of the mc) bit about masculinity and self-sacrifice portrayed through the story of the mc looking back at how he saw his father die actually moved me. It doesn't get referenced again, and it doesn't have qualms about portraying the whole concept as a noble, positive thing. It doesn't shy away from the reality that for most of history, men doing stuff despite the circumstances was a necessary matterI hope it's not tied to rolls or stats in any way because it's by far the best part of the game for me. In the case it is, I'm glad I was lucky to get it at the time.
now that daemon tools is fucked, what do i use to install my .iso's?

>>568256771
>>568253461>it seemed like an alright gameit isn't
>>568257427What I'm saying is that there are times in this life in which you can't tinker and try stuff out because shit has consequences, attempting to extract data from an .iso with 7zip is not one of those things, and an habit of finding out how stuff works will be way better for you on the long term.Most of the post was hyperbole, not judgement. My furry porn collection is larger than yours don't worry.
>>568256365Winrar is the goat, disregard the 90 day limited thing its literally unlimited and the company who make it are pretty open about how they'll never force users to pay for it, as their main market are companies who have to buy the license to use it.

Busy day. Stole enough bikes to unlock buglaries and then did enough burglaries to unlock car radio thefts with the thieving faction. Took down a satanic cult the drug faction started then unlocked selling meth. Been whittling away at the excons faction by collect protection payments and hiring child whores to go hang out with them. Next step in their storyline is to create a rival meth business because the drug den faction's leader was the excon leader's celly and ratted him out to get out of prison while the rest of the excons had to wait o the collapse of the Soviet Union to get amnesty pardon. But Im waiting on that to do the drug den quests to unlock meth cooking and kraken. Oh, and my wife cheated on me.

what is this retarded discount? only the first game is discounted and there is no bundle option
uhhh, kek???
>>568282489Yes, for my friends.
>>568275579I tried it the other day and god damn, its so drastically different from the first game, also fucking loadings everywhere. You should try the first one, aint for no reason it is a cult classic, it is a genuinely good game.
>>568285014cheers, m8
is this game worth playing
>>568275579Everyone gives IW (well-deserved) flak for shit gameplay and even worse technical implementation but writing-wise it's still a true desu sex game unlike the newer ones.
>>568279336>Let me see your finger..
>>568287213It was for me. Cool art, interesting gameplay. Took me 20 hours to 100% it, doesn't overstay its welcome.
No, Steam, Backpack Hero is *not* similar to CoE5. And neither is Monster Train, Dungeons of Aether, nor Slice and Dice.God, the suggestions are utterly fucking worthless nowadays. Can't find anything anymore.
>>568289708Uhhh those are all turn based games and thus they're similar

Shit, I think I've slid back into that weird Limbo again, where I feel like I've gotten overexposed to games, nothing feels fun anymore and I just stare at my Steam library for minutes on end just to tab over to a browser to stare at YouTube or something.I know it will pass, but still kinda gay

>>568313769lolNice one, I'm stealing it.
>>568313386I haven't played either but Hat in Time has a much better rep.
>>568280446I remember this was pitched to me as "subnautica in space" when I had just finished that game, and boy was that description wrong.I think the concept is cool, but just the demo left me annoyed with the writing and I haven't tried it since>>568207108>Retrying Enshrouded.Man I really want to like that game but something about it just doesn't click.I like how the map is handcrafted and that all structures are built on the same grid, so you can just take over an enemy fort and rebuild it. Also the fact that the world "resets" outside your base every few in-game days kind of makes it harder to trick my brain into believing the world is real, if that makes sense. Makes it feel like an MMO if all changes you make in the world, like chopping down trees, digging up resources or clearing out enemies are so incredibly temporary.Also last time I tried the game looked way too bad for how poorly it ran.
>Personal giant blowjob machine in my "cell"Sign me up!
EMUURON is out. Anybody tried it yet?
>>568316301I imagine it works because she just bites your dick off to the point people stopped trying it.
>>568320060you can still pat her head
>>568315091The problem with it is that you don't want to move forward because there's just too much stuff to pick up. You're basically told you're scavenging and scrounging for ressources, but truth is that you end up having a lot of very basic stuff.And yeah, I get what you mean, Enshrouded is odd. I still struggle at time with the building/crafting system, because even with snapping turned on, it's so very easy to have gaps between the walls and the roof. But I do appreciate the variety of build and weapons, and I kinda like the food system. It's not Valheim or Vintage Story, but still fun.
>>568320709>It's not Valheim or Vintage Story, but still funYou know, maybe this is what it comes down to, I just want to play a version of Vintage Story or Valheim that has a handcrafted map
>>568316301game?
>coming soon since 2022Subnautica overhaul mod that adds a bunch of automation and shit that looks super fun but requires you to downgrade the game.Real shame man, I'd love to play it. Better yet, I 'd love to play a game like this that has been build around this idea from the ground up
>>568325120I fully understand you. I had trouble forcing myself to play Vintage Story after playing Dragonwilds: it's sad to say, but randomly generated maps ultimately all feel empty.
>>568313769You made me laugh out loud on the bus.

Queen is still far and away the lamest, shittiest, most boring fight in sts2. Dev deserves to be slapped for thinking 99 of every affliction was good game design. "I just know players would LOVE to be handicapped and forced to fight at 50% strength for the final battle of the act!" Only an absolute retard would do such a thing.

Are you fucking kidding me?
>>568312843>SheeeeeitA funny woaman taking the piss.
>>568328607Yeah, I think in VS it's not as bad as in some other games, since the open world being empty is part of the point of an early human civilization simulator and also the world in a sense is just a canvas for you to build in. So I don't mind as much, even if one with hand-placed ruins and some handcrafted caves and terrain features would be really cool.Then again I was lucky to have my base across the bay from this stunning natural arch.
is there any website or resource for browsing upcoming games? steamdb is decent but from what i can tell it only displays games that have a specified release date.
>>568349043>upcoming gameswhy do you want to get hyped for future product
>>568348803>one with hand-placed ruins and some handcrafted caves and terrain features would be really cool.Nigger, that's what Vintage Story literally is unless you have disabled story content. And it's more than just ruins and caves.
>>568292421CoE5 is not turn based, its an autobattler, just like Dominions
>>568351879My guy, the ruins are not hand placedI'm pretty sure you're misunderstanding what I mean.
>>568352251No, not the ruins you dumb nigger. The story events. VS has some of the best handcrafted POIs you'll ever find in procgen game like it.
>>568352203
>>568352796please calm down and reread my post then.I know about the handcrafted POIs and they are great, but I am talking about something different. It's right there in the bit you quoted in >>568351879 hand-placed ruins

Icarus, Enshrouded, Nightingale, Soulmask, Vintage Story and Subnautica 1, are objectively the best openworld survival craft slop there are.And yes, I'm not counting Minecraft(specially modded) and Abiotic Factor.
>>568354710>NightingaleFor real?I was vaguely interested in it when the first trailer came out, but sort of lost interest by the time it finally came out in EA. Also it looked like it suffered from the curse that many of these types of games have, where it's hard to hide that deep down all your buildings are still just cubes.
>>568354710>I'm not counting Minecraft(specially modded)>while mentioning Vintage Storybro?
>>568353567I thought games like these were Heroes of Might and Magiclikes.
>>568357864vintage story is pretty far from vintagecraft these days
>>568354710Icarus is nice, but I really dislike how dependant on bases you are. You cannot really explore, and I dunno if you can set up outposts like in Vintage Story or Valheim.

So how ahead in devellopment subnautica 2 is? I thought it was in a workable state from start to end, as the roadmap seemed to be more about QoL stuff to be implemented down the road, but I tried to put down a beacon and for some reason it wouldnt allow me to, saying the zone wasnt finished or something.Am I at risk of getting my savefile corrupted by some coming patch, or its just comsetic stuff they havent implemented yet, or something else?

I've struggled the entire game getting like 7 to 20 of one of them from the odd pirate ship, and then I get 100 to 255 of all of them in one huge haul with a bunch of Gold and Silver (and nearly 500 slaves) to boot too. Absolute jackpot, it was all worth it.

>>568371641>>568372914I haven't seen this myself because I don't browse /mlp/ but there's a well known screenshot from there, where an anon complains that he was on the metro with his horse plushie and a policeman gave him shit for it, can't remember what he said, condescendingly asking him if he's autistic or something like that.So anon comes home to complain on /mlp/ just for another anon to post a timestamped pic of his police badge and describing what the anon with the plushie was wearing. Could be made up by a samefag, but fuck that was funny to read.Sadly it seems I didn't save that one.
Came back for my monthly hit and fuck the daily run is fun.Normal fights drop artifacts instead of cards, so your deck is pretty slim by default and you can get Voltaic (picrel) and Echo Form (the first card you play, is played twice) pretty early on and just steamroll everything. Especially since it's easy to just swim in energy with a few other card combos

>>568371641I've only come across one person irl who I'm sure browsed 4chan, because I actively avoid going out, because back when I was in university he was ahead of me in line waiting for the classroom to open up and he was talking to another guy, and said "I found this cool new place online, but I can't tell you about it because rules one and two are that I can't talk about it."There's no fucking shot but if you're reading this Miles Dobson; hey you're literally the only guy from there whose name I actually remember.

Secured the votes of the disparaged, excons, and drug den today. Started working on the guzzlers, church and Crazy's votes. Kinda in a pickle with the church since I have to recover some stolen stuff for them, and the leader of the satanists have the gold cross. He won't talk to me anymore, though, on account of bashing his face in with a fire extinguisher. So, I need to max out stealing which is a bit of a grind even though Im already at level 9/10.Crazy and the Guzzlers are at odds with eachother, since they both share the same territory at the train station. Crazy collects from all the bum pan handling around the train station, and the Guzzlers get violently drunk around the train station which makes the cops and people not like the hobos. Crazy already got mad at me for helping the Guzzlers work out a truce with the junkies, but we're cool now beecause I poisoned 3 of the Guzzlers. Guzzler questline is the whole fucking thing involving uncovering a conspiracy to kill the homeless in the city. Working with a reporter to track down leads and see whats what. Apparently at a rager they threw one night someone poisoned the grog and 15 people got seriously ill or worse. During the disparaged questline, there was a couple of murders commited by a fake hobo, and that ended with paying a dirty cop to look into it at the police station after giving them the murder weapon. Apparently the captain of the force is just telling the papers that theyre investigating it, but actually not. The dirty cop told me to stay safe and gave me a machete.

>>568385223The prawn was one of my favorite things in subnautica and I'm certain their current design philosophy is mutually exclusive with that ever existing.But instead of corporate enshittification it's genuinely the devs themselves enshittifying it out of belief in a cause.

And I mean its obvious in a way that it isnt just decorations, like metal scrap added to thin roots that are coincidentally aligned in a way as to form a ramp kind of way.

I'm replaying mario galaxy right now. When you finish the game with all 120 stars, you unlock Luigi mode. To get the true ending you have to finish the game 100% with Luigi too. When I was a kid I was "Holy shit you get to play as Luigi!! That's awesome!" but now as an adult, I realize lou-gee mode is just padding and filler crap with barely any changes. Also you have to do the last world twice with each character, once at 60 stars to unlock the post-game purple coin stars and once again at 120 stars to properly finish the game. You can't skip the credits or cutscenes.But I guess not every game needs a proper "Richter mode" equivalent and you're likely not supposed to finish the game twice in a row like I plan to do.

One of my friends started playing DE for the first time. I envy him for the experience.Between you and me I'm not sure if it's his type of game, but still
>>568425887he's in for a disappointment
>>568425887>I envy him for the experience.It's just a game, anon.
>>568425921we'll see, I think he still might like it, he does so far>>568426308so? Have you never enjoyed anything?
>>568426616I always see people hype DE as a trascendental experienceit was a good gameit was well writtenit was fairly funit was a labor of loveI didn't bother replaying it and 100%ing itIt wasn't anything I'd go back to and say "wow my life sure was different after I played disco elysium"no it was "oh hey, that was actually a pretty good game"
the first few hours of DE are the best when youre soaking in the atmosphere and before you find out there is no mystery and you're just being railroaded down some meaningless series of fetchquests
>>568426710>I always see people hype DE as a trascendental experiencewell it certainly was for me, but that's highly subjective and has more to do where I was at when I played it than with the game itself it was just at the right place at the right timeBut it doesn't have to be a life changing experience to be something you wish you could experience for the first time again. I could name plenty of media that applies to.>I didn't bother replaying it and 100%ing itI didn't think I would either, but replaying it after a few years is actually a really good time, there's lots of interesting stuff hidden behind skills and options I didn't pick the first time around.>>568426915I can definitely agree on the last part. The fetchquesty design is fine on the first few days while you have plenty of stuff to do and run around all over the place anyways, but I think the game is at it's weakest just before the tribunal (coincidentally where I am in my replay right now) when you're just running back and forth for a single quest.
>>568425887I personally stopped recommending games to my friends because they go out of their way to play them in the worst way possible and say the game is bad. I don't mean this in a "YOU PLAY THE GAME WRONG" kind of way. I mean, I mean that when I recommended pokemon heartgold and soulsilver to a friend, he quite literally grinded to level 100 before meeting mr pokemon and oak. It took him over a year.
>>568427472What helped me with this is being a bit more selective with what I recommend to whom. One of my friend has very similar taste and media literacy to me, so he naturally gets most recommendations, because I know if I enjoy something, chances are he will too.And the second thing was to accept that everyone will have their unique experience with a piece of media. I remember when I was younger I subconsciously wanted for everyone's experience to be a carbon copy of mine, but that's not something you can force. And as frustrating as it might be to watch someone skip/miss your favorite part or play the game in a totally different way, I've just somehow come to terms with it.

>>568431621Same, but mostly because managing big things is often overwhelming for me. So I prefer having all my, for example, industry concentrated in one place. Loved merchant republics in CK2
My dream game is a potion making game that approaches Noita wand levels of potion brewing complexity and is also an open world life-sim/work-sim (with the world probably restricted to your town and the adjacent forest or something of course)
>>568431006>GTA1 remaster?Kind of.
>>568405723You're not even trying...
You guys ever play desert island? Post your favorite indie games, the only ones that you can take with you to the desert island. This isn't a Tom Hanks scenario, you're probably stuck there forever. You can only pick three.>Isaac>Hades 2>Star of Providence
>>568436481I'm too autistic for these hypotheticals,I always take them way too seriously.Kinda hard to say to be honest, I think I'd definitely take Vintage Story, if as part of the rules I magically gain access to all the games updates and mods.Then maybe something like Path of Exile with lots of grindy repeatabilityNot sure what my last pick would be, I'd probably die of exposure or starvation in a week
>>568412293I got to floor 7 or 8 and turned it off. Boring.
>trying Subnautica out for the first time>get expanded O2 tank and the lifepod repaired>can't think of anything else to do because the remaining stuff I haven't made all seems to require grinding sediment clumps for lead/silver/gold or something and I've only seen those in deep caves that waste half my oxygen just getting to>decide to check out the ship because the game keeps acting like I'm on a time limit to get there and do something>find capsules along the way, get some cool stuff like reactor rods>see a bigass eel thing in the distance that won't shut up>scout ship, can only reach one area, assume I need to make the tool I found the schematics for on the ship to get into the cargo hold>leave>head back to lifepod by going around the ship to scout its far side>giant eel fucker ambushes me at the rear of the ship>all my cool new stuff is gone>read online it gets dropped and you can go back for it>eel fucker is camping the back of the ship so I can't look for my stuff, manage to scan it, "avoid at all costs"So far, I'm not seeing why everyone ranks this game so highly. You have to run from everything, and the gameplay loop seems to be doing easter egg hunts for the components you need to craft equipment to do more easter egg hunts, and each hunt has a time limit based on your O2.Do things pick up once you get a vehicle or build a base?
>>568441553All vehicles give you oxygen when powered so you can use them as a mobile outpost during exploration.Bases can be built anywhere and used to recharge vehicles or vehicle power cells.Exploration is the focus of the game.
>Monday: Go to the local store to get groceries, see a pack of expired meat (18/05/26), report it to the manager and go on with my day>Wednesday: Citadel, Kenshi and outer wilds are on sale, no steam funds and don't want to do an online payment>Go pick up a steam card at my local store, pick a snack too>The expired meat is still there with a new label printed above the old one>Ask the manager what the hell he's doing, he shrugs and says it's not illegal (it is)>Leave without buying anythingI just wanted to play video games. Now I'm forced to go to my workplace to do an official statement during my break.
>>568441995>Exploration is the focus of the gameThen why come no map?
>>568441553>see a bigass eel thing in the distance that won't shut upI remember having a very funny moment with that one, because I only saw its silhouette in the distance, with nothing to anchor the scale to. And until that fucker jumped me out of nowhere, I just assumed he was much closer when I saw him and about he size of the stalkers that chill in the kelp biomes.Anyways as the other anon said, the game is about exploration and it's praised so highly because of how hands off it is. The game nudges you towards certain objectives every now and then but it's always up to you to explore at your own pace and driven mostly by your own curiosity. It's funny that I played Outer Wilds right after it, because in this way they are surprisingly similar.Have you repaired the radio in the life pod? I can't remember if you need to do that separately or it happens when you repair the pod outright.>Do things pick up once you get a vehicle or build a base?getting a vehicle (and base) is where I would say the midgame starts. It lets you explore much deeper and further.>>568442640Making your own mental map is part of the fun in my opinion, though I do wish you could get one as a lategame upgrade or something.
>>568442640You memorize where things are or use beacons to mark biomes and points of interest.
>>568443298Nta you're replying to, but you need to find the repair tool parts, which I believe is one of the first few items you get from wreck and opened boxes laying about.>>568442640You wont need a map after a bit, id say its better this way because you actually learn to recognize the biomes and the ressources in them which makes for a more immersive experience, beside there are beacons you can build that are dirt cheap to mark specific places like specific caverns. Also help build your confidence, at first you hide at every big sound and see everything as a potential threat, then you get bolder, then you become the threat and leviathans become little more than big fishes.Honestly the best tip id give to a new player is dont underestimate the usefulness of beacons, as the most annoying part is trying to find again something you saw during wanton exploration but cant pinpoint the location of later when you're equipped to handle the specific biome. Especially once you reach the twilight zone and can only see as far as your spotlights allow. And one qol tip for base building; I heavily recommend you make a room somewhere that you just use to add reinforcements to, as its less of an eyesore when building it and you'll feel less restricted as to how you want to build or expand. Ie making a room with nothing but reinforcements so you can make another big room with nothing but windows so you get an amazing vista in a more convenient spot.
>>568436481>transistor>disco elysium>epic battle fantasy 5
>>568441995That sounds nice, if it means I can park a sub next to a cave 100m down and go exploring without having to surface constantly.>>568443298>, I just assumed he was much closer when I saw him and about he size of the stalkers that chill in the kelp biomes.I tend to have that issue with the little guys. I assume they're 20 meters away because of how small they look and accidentally swim right past them.>It's funny that I played Outer Wilds right after it, because in this way they are surprisingly similar.That's what's getting me right now. I loved Outer Wilds and people always list the two games together, but I'm not feeling the same magic quite yet. I'll keep at it a while longer.>Have you repaired the radio in the life pod?Yeah. At first it didn't say much, but after going to the ship and coming back it's pointed me at another objective to go explore.
>>567968335Niko...
>finally got Moonstone>try it>...I'm Green if you have any doubt.
>>568445223>storage is driving me crazy>inventory is constantly full>hate dropping shit because I lose it instantly>juggle inventory to make room for titanium and floating lockers>deploy locker outside life pod>it flies 10 feet away, clips through the sea floor, is now unreachableWhy isn't the lifepod storage just 2x-3x bigger?
>>568449816Yeah ill admit the game inventory management is a pain in the ass, gotta make a ton of lockers in a base asap else it quickly become unmanageable.
>See Kenshi mentioned here again>Buy it again after refunding it the first timeI'm so weak willed... I really don't have the time to learn a 500+ hours game like I used to...
Pasquale's Palazzia di Spaggetini does not serve faggotoni, capisce?
>>568452509But we-a make-a the exception for-a signorina hitler
>>568445223>I loved Outer Wilds and people always list the two games together, but I'm not feeling the same magic quite yetTo be fair I wouldn't dare overtly comparing the two and I'm happy I played Subnautica first and not the other way around.Because the magic is MUCH strong in OW. But, still Subnautica has some of the same essence, of the main driver for exploration being your own curiosity where it rarely shoves a quest marker in your face and tells you where to go.It felt amazing when I found out that there was a whole new biome I've never seen after 10s of hours of gameplay, right next to my base, just because somehow I've always avoided checking behind that one cliff.>>568449816The inventory management aspect is definitely shit. That's why you want to build a base asap, even if it's just a tiny one made out of a handful of compartments.
>>568453231Nah, he's just looking for Kyle. He's that tall!
>>568452509God I can't wait for Nivalis to come out
>huh, I wonder when game I've had on my wishlist since forever comes out>check>in 1hfuck man, I'm not sure I want to afford it right now, this shit better not be expensive.
>>568454242>I wonder when game I've had on my wishlist since forever comes out>check>cancelled years ago
I swear to God i saw a piece of Evershine news about a new Alpha update coming out this August but i can't find it anymore
>>568450609I'm getting close. I'm kinda confused as to why some seeds I'm finding take up 4 inventory slots while entire pieces of ore only take up 1.>>568453617>It felt amazing when I found out that there was a whole new biome I've never seen after 10s of hours of gameplay, right next to my base, just because somehow I've always avoided checking behind that one cliff.That's the exciting part to me. I 100%'d Outer Wilds in 25 hours, according to Steam. I was hoping that Subnautica would be "Outer Wilds with less aliens and bigger environments to explore," and it's slowly starting to look like that. At least from the one square kilometer area that's about 100m deep that I can explore so far.>The inventory management aspect is definitely shit. That's why you want to build a base asap, even if it's just a tiny one made out of a handful of compartments.Do you have to find the multipurpose room plans to do that? Because I built a foundation and was disappointed to find that all I can build on it are tubes that look too small to put anything inside.
>>568450863It's not hard, just obtuse.
>>568459187Yeah that's the problem...
>>568450863I must have replayed the game three times and i always stop after speding 1 hour mining and selling iron with my chopped shek gf
tf u mean early access areai need water
I don't know what Kenshi is but if you can't turn into a literal living god like you can in Elona/Elin/ACS then I don't care.
>>568459964Best you can do is replace all your limbs by prosthetics.
>>568459749Protip: Don't mine. If you want to mine, there are better games for that.
>>568459187>>568450863I stand by my claim that Kenshi would be amazing if your starting character weren't weaker than the average child.It makes no sense to have to start from such low stats, as if you're waking up from a 20 year coma and learning to walk again.The game would be great if you didn't have to spend the first several hours running around with rocks to train strength and shit.
>>568459964I think I've seen clips of unarmed fighters in Kenshi killing an entire enemy army by just dodging them all and hitting them with retaliatory strikes or something.
>>568457942>I was hoping that Subnautica would be "Outer Wilds with less aliens and bigger environments to explore,"Depends on what you want tog et out of it to be honest. Subnautica's story is pretty shit in my opinion and mostly serves as a means to an end, so you don't have any grand revelations like in Outer Wilds, but the exploration still does feel really cool. And setting was immersive (haha) enough to make me genuinely too scared to explore a certain area for quite a while. It was close to my base, but between the darkness and spooky music I noped out of there and didn't return until way later to find out it led to some pretty col stuff.>Do you have to find the multipurpose room plans to do that?Nah the tubes are surprisingly spacious, I lived in a base made of tubes for quite some time. Has a bit of an International Space Station vibe to it
>>568461319>would beIf that's all you want, just get a custom start mod that gives you higher stats.Or, the next time you want to play the game, pick a guy who's already trained from an older save, kick out everyone else, and import the save.
>>568461561the water hovel
The absolute state of this game.But finally done with it after a week break. Floor 8 and 9 weren't that bad so it went pretty quick.If SS2 is also ass I will always laugh at PCboomers from there on.
>>568464805She's uploading unto you.
>>568461561Damn, I found some base blueprints a ways south of the first lifepod and was struggling to figure out how to build it with the roof out of water for solar panel access, but you're telling me the panels work under water, too?I usually hate to look up how to do things in games like this but I might need to find a construction guide because so far the base building seems super janky to me. Every time I try to do something that seems intuitive, something is fucky, like not needing foundations to build, and things snapping off-center.
My favorite part of mount and blade has always been going from a peasant to literally federate the entire civilized world under one banner, mine of course.
>>568442640the seaglide can project a map of the area around you but it's a little hard to readyou can also get a buildable scanning room that'll show a bigger, clearer one
