Indie games are absolutely killing it these days, I love em. In Stars and Time, Animal Well, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, so many are fantastic.
I got Max Max on steam for $5 a few years ago. Worth it.
Steam version has Denuvo. GOG version doesn’t. Other than that they should be the same. I noticed only differences in load times.
It’s a fun game and runs great on a potato. $5 is definitely worth it.
What did they take from us? I haven’t played an online game in years now.
I’ve been hmming and hawing in answering this. But I’m out for dinner and bored. So alot games original vision is to be a single player experience but then online features or an online overhaul is shoved by the aboves. IE SimCity was considered unplayable by thr online features, anthem was originally designed to be single player but was completely redone, etc etc.
Yeah I see that. I remember the disappointment of sim city.
It could be I don’t follow games close enough to see what I’m missing. I find more SP games popping up in my feeds / friend recommendations than I could ever hope to play.
I definitely feel like mainstream AAA/AAAA and even iii to a certain extent have been progressively enshittified. But I’ve been at this a while, so I’ve seen how it’s gone this way as more and more money got brought to bare on games.
The moment someone who wasn’t involved in actually making some part of the game was expecting a fat return on investment was the moment the wheel of shit started to turn.
They never took it from me! Animal Well and Dread Delusion are phenomenal experiences just from the last couple of months. Indies are always generating good games, even when AAA is just following trends.
Don’t care about achievements play games till like 70% then drop them. If it stops being fun I’m done, finishing a game is never a requirement don’t have time for that
I got to like 98% in RDR2 before I realized the gambling ones were going to be a giant pain in the ass. At that point I was in too deep to give up. I watched all 3 Robocop movies in one sitting and still didn’t complete the last blackjack one. Eventually got it but that was a frustrating experience.
The truly infuriating part is there’s likely lots of people out there that got them on the first try or by accident
Yea I was like looking for a solution online because I was like “there’s no way you’re just supposed to brute force this” and came across so many people that were like “no there’s no trick but I got in like 30 minutes”
Yeah, play the story and sidequests but don’t do any of the collectibles that are often necessary for 100%.
This is a respectable pursuit.
Don’t forget that this also unlocks using Linux for a lot of folks now.
Achievement Unlocked: Mention Linux in a computer related thread!
100% of tech related posts have this achievement.
(Relax comrades, I too am a Linux disciple.)
shillingFOSS advertising. It’s the only way we can promote linux.
I have all that and then I don’t play my games from 2010 for some reason
And people wonder why I still play Factorio, Parkitect, ATS, or RCT. People suck and being able to ignore them is great.
I absolutely love rollercoaster Tycoon. There really isn’t a game like it.
Have you tried Planet Coaster? Might be up your alley.
I’ve been playing Planet Crafter waaay too much. Check it out if you like Factorio, Satisfactory, etc. It’s fun and super addictive. At least to me.
Dyson Sphere Program
I’ve played DSP, it’s a great game too. I’ll probably jump back to that when I burn out on Planet Crafter. The thing I don’t like about it and Satisfactory is conveyor belt management. The constant battle to rewire the spaghetti.
DSP recently got localized small distribution drones, you can convert any storage box into a tiny logistics station now. It’s pretty sweet, really reduces the spaghetti early on in recent playthroughs
bruh factorio is literally in active development and has a huge active community, who would even think twice seeing someone playing it.
Here I am playing games from the 90s and 00s. Crazy that Quake III and Unreal Tournament are still active.
When they’re good, they’re good. Good gameplay beats good graphics every day
I often use UT, Q3 and CS 1.6 as examples of how long a game can stay active when players are given tools to setup their own servers, as opposed to companies handling multiplayer themselves (and often killing it off in a few years).
I like both
reinstalls
Why was it ever uninstalled? It’s like 500mb
I’m due for another replay, but I’m waiting for the VR mod to be finished.
*smacks lips* what a shame
Friends don’t let friends play League of Legends
That’s why I play DotA 😎
(Yes, this is a cry for help)
My absolutely most favorite single player and gaming experiences in general are:
- Outer Wilds
- Tunic
Their repeatability is 0 but man do these experiences stay with you. I still think about outer wilds daily and i finished it last year
I bought outer wilds a while ago but haven’t played it yet, I should probably give it a try
not a big gamer but saw the civ 6 was discounted to 2 usd had to get it ofc and enjoying the single player life
I fucking love civ 6 and I’ll fight anyone who tries to tell me it’s bad. I tried playing 5 as my first civ game around the time it came out but I don’t think I had the attention span for it and I never got into it. Got 6 as part of a humble bundle thing and didn’t touch it for years, randomly decided to give it a go and gyatdamn.
I just hate the pathetic effort they put into the quotes. Sean Bean was a weird choice anyway (“what do people universally and forever like? Game Of Thrones I suppose!”) but then they had him read quotes from literal blogs and often quotes that shat all over the technology you’d just researched. Oh! I completed a wonder! I definitely want to hear a quote about how it’s obsolete now and its abandonment caused immense poverty in the Ruhr valley.
That and the movement towards nations instead of, yknow, Civilizations. Sorry Australia, you are not a Civilisation. Nor is Canada. Nor Scotland. How do we have Scotland - an independent country for less than 300 years - and not the fucking Celts.
Civ 5 sunk it’s teeth into me deep. I could never stand 6. I only managed about 41 hours into 6, but 5 I have well over a thousand in (even if steam only reports 600 of it)
I want to play my character, not just play towards whatever the optimal setup is
I strive to ultimately be able to tank enemies and kill them with weak weapons like forks.
If you want to be the Cutlery Colossus then you can
