Yep, I try to ignore reviews. Sometimes they deserve them, and sometimes there’s a real gem hidden under unclear systems or bad graphics.

Lichdom Battlemage is complex, unclear, and “Mixed”, but to me, it’s by far the best spell system in gaming, and it feels and looks amazing, when you know what you’re going… You just have to put the time in. “Overwhelmingly positive” in MY book ;)

<3

Very true, but then again most Overwhelmingly Positive games I find amazing. I do have a long list of games I love and a selection I actually always keep installed, some of which are mediocre by many people’s standards ;)

God I wish I could enjoy it. I feel like I’m missing out. I just, I don’t get it :(

Striving for Light

It’s an indie game that’s about to officially release, and to me is the only real “bite-sized” arpg out there. It’s essentially a roguelite-PoE endgame hybrid. A run can last minutes, hours, or an tire week if you build well.

The more I play it, the more hooked I am.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

If the game has good combat and good loot, rng dungeons means I can fight and play loot lottery forever. When encounteres are 100% scripted, with cutscenes or platforming in the mix, it gets old fast…

Same here, and I don’t see myself buying a new card anytime soon now that we have frame generation for games, not just vids and TV

This looks like a nice solution. I have not looked into it or tried yet: https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol

Thanks a lot, you rock!

Wow, that looks pretty simple too, thanks!

Really? Sorry for my ignorance, but isn’t it possible to keep a secure system with malware software and firewalls? I might have to reconsider and just hate MS for moving that quickly to a halfassed OS :(

I’ll stick with Win10 and third party protection until my GPU, games or gaming related apps/peripherals stop working. Until then, I see no reason to upgrade, even if they were to pay me to do it.

Indies are where innovation lives. About time “triple A” studios realized it. At least those guys did, probably ;)

That sounds so cool! I actually have all their Steam games, but when I tried a couple of them, I realized all I was doing was run backwards, which I don’t really enjoy.

Can you recommend one of the old Painkiller games that might be balanced differently or have level structure where this does not occur as often?

Same for Ziggurat, which I wish I could enjoy.

For those like me who wonder about the story behind this: https://apnews.com/article/technology-business-privacy-2bf09af93c0bca94c27e2c91ce735053

Yeah, the pick-3 level up perks are not that important indeed, something I realized just today lol

We need more games like this, especially in the horde survivors genre. It’s quite similar to Bio Prototype and Bioweaver, tho it looks and plays better. Bit more complicated, but that’s not bad either.

Magicraft is also very nice, so don’t sleep in Net.Attach() if you like these type of games.

Looks great, thanks!

Great game, especially if you actually play the story yourself (no markers, no guidance, just you listening and reading hint). It becomes “Myst with gun”, plenty of dummies to kill in creative ways in a Groundhog Day sandbox!

It’s not perfect, but reviews don’t do it justice. For free, it’s one of the best games Epic has given away, so grab it.

Meanwhile, I just spent over 10 hours trying to get Split/Second Velocity that does not support controllers on PC to worth with my racing wheel, with force feedback triggered by controller vibration, and get that working in VR with Vorpx.

That kind of stuff needs guides, not just use your TV as your moniton and start the game.

BUT, anyone sharing that kind of helpful info is alright in my book :D

You rock! Quasimorph looks great

Same :)

Yeah, played all of them, hence me looking for gems I might have missed. Anyways, thanks again :)

Nice post, thanks! Any hidden gems in there with a Diablo-loot “relax while grinding” kind of loop? After playing VR racing and shooters, I like to relax with a podcast and game, and hunt exciting loot like a slotmachine addict ;)

Same. I think DE is one of the best shooters ever made, and so is its OST.

I saw the trailer for this one and though “meh, fuck them, I’ll buy Mick’s next games/music with that money instead”. Didn’t even know it was out until a couple days ago.

Last time I saw them discount Wonderlands on Steam, it was 75% off, but the base price had been doubled a couple hours before. So I bought it for $3 on a grey market site instead.

Like many already said here, I guess “I’ll find a way to make it happen”… again.

TBH, I’m kind of happy this is happening, with such a big game too. Kids will learn the hard way that they don’t own online-only games they paid for, and can’t trust on Apple, Epic and other such providers to keep content they bough available.

It’s being pushed on all of us as the norm, so things like that might actually help the game preservation cause.

Good, more games I’ll not be waiting for or spending a dime on.

FADE, a pocket pc game with a shocking, emotional twist at the end. Worthy of a remake or movie.

Modded Skyrim (to make is very easy, or even invincible). How best to learn to move in a 3D world than by giving them the best game world to discover.

Online only, no bots, probably mtx and paid DLCs. No thanks.

More realistic graphics don’t make a game better. Who gives a shit?

Roughly half the internet?

Yeah, usual for that studio. They make great games, but it takes about a year and a few dlcs to be worth it on PC.

I mean games got slower because of controllers (think arenafps and boomer shooters).

Their controller, CPU and GPU are the bottleneck, not the OS.

Consoles shape how games are played because of their controllers, and how we they are optimized; the aim is still 30-60 fps ffs…

We’d all be better off with PC only. Fuck consoles!

Developped by the guy who made Turbo Overkill, so you know it’s gonna run well and feel good to hit enemies. Looking forward to it!

Can’t see anything about it being a Doom mod tho, what am I missing actually?

Can recall the last game where the GPU was the bottleneck tbh lol. Maybe back on console…
