I remember seeing something for an offline/single player “mmorpg” dungeon crawler, but I don’t remember the name

I’m reminded of that one Silicon Valley episode

Maybe because I said I hadn’t seen anything for the game other than the announcement?

I enjoyed the first one, which is a shame because it released like right before the evidence and allegations came out about Roiland, so it left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.

I thought the game was fun and hilarious (I have an immature sense of humor), and it had enough random bullshit for you to find and enjoy that I didn’t care about the low points of the game. Being able to watch three full B-movies from the 80s-90s was awesome imo, and I absolutely loved finding the RedLetterMedia Easter egg. Then it turns out he’s a piece of shit hitting on minors and teens.

I want to play this second one, even though I’ve seen literally nothing for it other than it was coming out at some point. But at the same time, I’m hesitant because Roiland kinda fucking sucks.

FUCK. Now that’s some good shit.

This is the Kain game I played when I was a kid. The PS2 I got just happened to have a copy, so I gave it a shot one time. Holy shit, it’s like playing through a high-budget period-fantasy movie. The voice acting goes insanely hard, the story is wild and twisted, and the locations are dark and grim; even when they’re brightly lit.

Not really. I haven’t played in a long time, but I’d say to keep storage like freight next to your production rooms. And if you’re trying to be efficient, don’t get cutesy and put elevators in random spots; stack them in columns. It makes settlers able to move around much more quickly.

Keep people with decent stats, armor, and weapons stationed at your vault door. Any attacks will be quickly dealt with and you won’t have to worry about anything. The last time I played, I had someone with max stats and power armor, along with a max-stat Preston, with a fatman and a rocket launcher.

It’s a very limited radio though. Each station only has a few songs. At least that’s how it was in 2. I just remember hearing a lot of the same songs each time I opened the music app in-game.

I prefer the game world in the second game though. Chicago is awesome, but I kinda prefer San Francisco.

I didn’t play the second game.

Why does it look like Fable now? And they all have actual clothes now? Weren’t they wearing nets and loincloths before?

Ngl I loved my first V. She had pink hair and lipstick, and I loved rocking those swishy track jackets and fedoras.

Once I found a bright pink Arch, that was it. I tried to carry that thing with me through the entire game.

Totally left us hanging.

What a tease.

That Mario Sunshine total conversion should have been its own thing.

Take Rollin’ Rascal; it’s an indie game that plays almost exactly like Sonic and you even have a ball form. But everything is legally distinct, and it’s a super fun game. There’s a mechanic for “taking over” different robot enemies so you can use their powers on others or the environment to unlock secrets and shortcuts. The company that’s making it previously worked on (I think) a couple Sonic games, and I believe they’re working on a port of Mother 3 as well.

Edit: there’s a demo that they keep updating with cool new features, and there’s a multiplayer mode with races and different tracks. You can also customize your “rascal” with different colors and outfits. All free and incredibly fun.

Just call the target “Chuck” or something.

I hate the term “save scumming,” like I’m supposed to feel dirty for playing how I want (e.g. using quicksaves and such as checkpoints) and using shit that is built into the fucking game.

Kenshi is a pain in the fucking ass (still love it though). Do you realize how many times you’d have to restart from scratch, like totally restarting the game from the very beginning, if you didn’t use the save system?even just from dust bandits kicking the shit out of you when you first spawn in, to getting yourself killed off because you happened to enter an area at the wrong angle, the game is unforgiving as hell. You almost need to constantly save just to keep your progress.

And that’s not even getting into if the game crashes.

Sand: Raiders of Sophie

Would’ve been real fuckin nice for the author to put even a tiny hint of the game title in his article title.

I know a few years ago when it was announced they ended up just firing the people who were going to be working on it.

So… They just gave up without ever really trying.

Was it taken down to be worked on for the “revamp”? I seem to remember that being the case but apparently not.

I literally just saw an Instagram post from the guy who’s making it yesterday.

I’ve been playing through the Halo series again

I was never a fan of CoD but this feels kinda big. Like if the person who created Halo were to die.

I played through 4 and liked it enough. I skipped literally every cutscene, and it felt like a natural progression of the series (all the weather control crap and crazy mechanics).
