Part of me wants to experience the shitshow first hand, seems like an absolute riot. Realistically tho, never happening, I’ll probably look up some gameplay video at some point.

Both seem reasonable. The banning is (AFAIK) mostly to prevent cheaters from making made-up familymember steam -accounts, and cheating in games as them. Once one made-up family member is banned, make another.

so, what I’m hearing is: for the price of 1€ per head, makes an okay timewaster for friday night beer-fueled gaming for 40-something coop-folk.

so how is the coop in this game? Racing as a team? How does it work? My friendgroup is VERY coop focused and 1€ is peanuts.

went in expecting a space-skyrim with typical Bethesda jank, and that’s exactly what we got.

This is exactly what I’m expecting as well, so it’s fairly likely I’ll enjoy it. Wishlisted and waiting for a reasonable sale, I’m still kinda stuck in fallout: London for the foreseeable future - so not really hurting for content

so, how is starfield in current state, the pc version specifically? I do enjoy bethesda-style games (fallout 3, nv, 4, london, skyrim, etc.). I’m aware that at launch starfield was, apparently, quite the shitshow.

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles … but with the caveats that a) it’s only PARTLY like stardew/portia/harvestmoon and b) For the life of me I can’t remember if the game had money or not.

The game is partly farm-life-sim, but the other part is “zelda-like” adventuring and getting rid of “dark smoke thing” that does bad things to the world.

iirc their previous post about it mentioned refunding everyone.

this looks gloriously stupid, but dunno how long until the joke becomes stale… oh well, wishlisted and will re-examine the situation once it releases.

Okay, sure, when given the fps camera, closest things to the camera are getting noticed. Duh?

But all things considered, who cares about a single goblin toe? Im much more scarred about the thongs happening in nearby shed. Bleach please.

But at that scale there’s always gonna be compromises. Duh. Does somebody actually expect full fidelity between 3rd person and closeups all the time? Might be showing my age but I sure don’t. What kind of madnes is that?

Games don’t need the show everything, leave a bit to imagination. Sure visuals ate cool, but don’t let that be all there is to it.

afaik yea, and yet every time:

edit: apparently the image was pretty crunchy. basically most of the boycotters are playing the game they’re boycotting against.

Yea, Wild West is pretty dope. Haven’t finished it yet, played few hours and then for some reason managed to forget about it. :|

I might need to get back on it.

okay, you got my attention, the entirety of that headline pressed basically all my feel-good receptors.

Do want, hopefully it’s good.

ooooh, this is a must watch. Indy:atlantis is pretty much my favorite game ever.

Got the game when I was a kid, it came bundled with a soundcard & cd-rom drive. I had seen Indiana Jones movies but didn’t know they also came in game form! I struggled through the puzzles - english being a second language and I had just started learning it - but I did it, I managed to beat the game… and then started it again because apparently there were branching paths with different puzzles in in! Good times. I’ve played the game so many times, probably interacted with every possible thing in it, love it to death.

I just wish we’d get a new Indiana Jones point & click -adventure, instead of platformers and fps games. But, p&c is a niche genre, I know. :/

OpenTTD, easily. The next two I’m having difficulties deciding.

I’m sure I want some rpg-ish imsim for sure, but dunno which one it should be. Probably picking next two games randomly from this group: DXHR, DXMD, Cyberpunk, Fallout 3/nv/4, Skyrim… I don’t know what to pick from these :|

Just finished Gunpoint - it’s a fairly nifty puzzler about a somewhat goofy private eye with cybernetic frog pants and ability to rewire building electronics with his mind. The soundtrack is odd mix of noir-jazzy electronica, and it slaps.

And right after I felt nostalgic, so I started scummvm and booted up Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist. Did not remember laborious the start of the game is with what is essentially copy protection - mixing medicines to order. Beyond the copy protection shenanigans, the game is a Sierra-game through and through: vga visuals are neat, voice acting is goofy but well made, instant deaths… Though the game isn’t as malicious as some early Sierra games.

only if the dev/publisher/whoever-responsible offers the different versions as available branches in the game’s properties. Some do, most don’t.

so, roughly something like Deathspank?

I was about to argue that this isn’t “pay-to-win”, as just having the ship doesn’t automatically make you better in-game, but…

If the pre-built ship is destroyed you will be able to redeploy it at no cost, but any additional modules you have added will require in-game credits to retrieve during re-buy.

does this mean that the arx-bought pre-built ship has essentially 0 Cr rebuy? Sounds kinda low-bar entry for no-risk pvp or griefing, if so.

Dunno if it is good or bad, but Warframe has this loading screen where you see players’ ships and you can steer them a bit. No real point to it, but at least it’s something to do when waiting for someone to load in.
