TIL that actual game studios sell their games on itch.io. I thought it was just solo/indie devs’ place :o
all of those look like they’re made with heroforge https://www.heroforge.com/ - or similar.
At least with heroforge you actually get a physical miniature
(edit: to be clear: no nft’s at heroforge, they just print miniatures, which you build/design with their site. that’s all)
Similar thoughts here. I was playing it on fairly high end pc as well from day 1 (wasn’t really patient with it… yea…) - Sure there were some funky glitches (eg. occasionally T-posing nude on bikes) here and there, but nothing game breaking. But that’s not to say those things didn’t happen to others, but I’ve understood the game was an absolute shitshow on ps4.
Atlantis would have made a pretty good movie too, imo.
I’ve only seen movies up to Crystal Skull, and… I dunno, not up to par with the 3 first ones. No idea what has happened since.
unless the new game is any good.
so far I’ve only heard that it’s closer to “immersive sims” with stealth gameplay than what machinegames generally does. While I do like me some sneaky-stealth games, they tend to devolve into quicksave/quickload very quickly. Who knows, but I’m waiting for some less edited letsplay footage and sales if it seems like I’d like it.
Thanks for the insight!
Not really a fan of GTA games, so… dunno if RDR is my kinda game to begin with. I do find westerns interesting at least.
I’ve played the original 2 GTA games way back when, didn’t much care for the arcade chaos. 3 and Vice city were so-so, and… GTA4…
GTA4 felt like bowling with cousin Roman more than a GTA game
Ended up quitting GTA4 during tutorialization :D
It had me going to some inane date with some lady, when I was driving her home I apparently goofed, bumped something with my car and long story short: I died by police gunfire in a minigolf track’s pond. Then game said I had to go do the date again. NOPE.
I’ve only played a little RDR2 - which I felt was a bit too much “life sim” nonsense with all kinds of minigames (fishing, hunting, dating?, whatever) and bit heavy on lengthy cutscenes, and I’ve heard that RDR1 is bit more straight forward and “game-y” - Anyone care to chime in if this is true?
If it is bit more straightforward I might be interested in this - after a hefty discount.
It’s been a while since I last played fallout 4 - outside of Fallout: London, while it’s “technically” the same game, it’s not. Haven’t played the “next gen” patch version.
Anyhoo:
Right there with you about the settlements.
Building my own fortress just for the sake of it? Sure, but functionally literally a single container box, few crafting tables, bed and maybe walls if you really want to is needed. I don’t mind some settlers to make the place a bit more lively, but they have absolutely zero agency of their own. I just can’t be bothered to micromanage a bunch of idiots who seem to be starving until you literally hold their hand and make them farm the plants that were right next to them all the time. Haven’t tried sim settlements mod.
The thing that starts to really annoy me is how some settlers seem to get captured by bandits all the time. My “favorite” was this one lady who got captured on weekly basis, and was held every week in the same bunker, tied down on the same spot. After several rescues the bandits just stopped respawning, so she was just sitting in the bunker tied down and all the doors were open. I like to imagine it was her kink and not just badly implemented repeating quest. Eventually I just stopped caring, it was getting stupid - even in Fallout’s standards. In general the generated “quests” are fine, but they start to repeat pretty quickly.
My preferred method was just to mod carry weights to zero and vacuum everything scrap looking on my adventures and craft away - I know I could just consolecommand in the parts, but I’d rather do some collection on my own.
The adventuring in F4 was pretty great, I did enjoy snooping around the city and doing odd jobs here and there. I’ve played the game few times to like lvl 60-whatever but never finished the main quest - furthest I’ve gotten was apparently to start pushing the final attack to the institute but I just couldn’t be bothered. I did finish the dlc’s, tho.
All in all, kinda feels like it’s the middle of the road Bethesda-game, decent-ish on it’s own, better with mods.
Grim Fandango is great, and the remaster with mouse controls is absolute peak with the added traditional mouse point&click interface. Though, mouse controls don’t really work for every occasion in the game, but it’s pretty minor issue overall.
Shame the remaster couldn’t really clean up the cutscenes, as those are VERY crunchy with the late 90’s video compression. Kinda same for the static backdrop graphics. The in-game lighting did get a lot nicer!
I’ve been meaning to test out https://hexagon.codes/grimhd - someone seems to be ai-upscaling the backdrops to modern resolutions & color depths, they seem very nice on the screenshots. So you know, disclaimer: haven’t tried it myself, can’t endorse it, and if you do: scan it for nasties first.
Eternal Darkness is one of the very few horror games I’ve played AND completed - well not 100%'d but played through twice, once on GC and once emulated.
The game kinda waters down the whole sanity thing as you can just magick your sanity back up. Same for health, and magick goes up by just running in a circle for a bit. So essentially you can just max all meters all the time.
Either way, it’s a neat game. Even for those who are not really into horror games, as the game isn’t really that spoopy - and this is coming from someone who just generally can’t with horror games.
started with NES games in late 80’s, so in theory I should be fine with game pads? Platformers and driving games I can generally do fine, anything else? … heh, it’s like watching parents use computers. I just can’t do first/third person aiming with analog sticks or use bumpers/triggers at the same time with anything else.
Mouse and keyboard are my weapons of choice, at least with those I’m not embarrassingly bad.
edit: though, Nintendo Game Cube controller is kinda my thing, not that I’ve played much of NGC games or anything, but I did finish Eternal Darkness just fine (emulated, used savestates, but still), the controller just feels way more natural than modern xbox/ps controllers
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
is Gearbox still in terms with Epic? It’ll probably be in holding cells Epic store for a year anyway, and then it’ll move to other stores with ULTIMATE EDITION -dlc bundle, with another dlc planned later on which isn’t in ULTIMATE EDITION. Wasn’t that the play with 3 as well?
Unless 4 does something truly new for the series, I’m probably not going to get it, at all. Kinda feel like I’m done with the series.
Marvel Heroes. It was a diablo-clone with a lot of playable marvel characters - which you wither grinded a lot of shards to unlock - or bought them(they were expensive) -and then you grinded for skins (or bought them… Again expensive with random chance boxes).
It was cartoony, fun and easily still in the top 5 games by playtime on steam.
Rip marvel heroes, still miss ya, even if you were stupidly expensive for a f2p.
I’m totally for cleaning up the reviews and tags (if they’re not cleaned up already).
Sure, meme/funny reviews can occasionally be helpful if you know what they’re about, but in general they’re just noise. And the “nobody will read this [confession here]” / “Pet the cat with thumbs up” / etc nonsense is just unnescessary clutter. Thank you Valve for finally adding filters for those.
even the minimum requires gpu raytracing? It’s forced on? o_O
