There are so many better options to whatever they said, like there are so many better options for a properly run government. These days I just assume this is how the the US people (as a whole, I know many do not want this) want their government run, which is troubling but expected nowadays, unfortunately.
I bought a course from udemy to learn it, helps cause you can follow along in an organized order. I actually haven’t touched it much since but it was fun to go through. Just make sure to buy their courses on sale if you do, otherwise they can get pretty pricey.
The great one was Sega vs Nintendo, this was a sequel. A noticeable and impactful war but not the ‘great’ one.
Damnit I just got a 9800x3d, guess I’ll be good knowing I can upgrade to whatever gpu comes out that’s in the sweet spot for awhile. I do have a 3070 so not like I’m slumming it, but was really hoping that the 50xx series would be worth it. Guess it’s time to read up on ray tracing and dlss type features since I haven’t done that homework in many years now. Always seemed like Nvidia was better supported but maybe not the big difference it it appears to be. I have gone back and forth over the years anyways.
I used to quite enjoy the radio stations in Surviving Mars well a couple of them, apparently spent 145 hours in the game total. There may have been a few times it accidentally ran overnight from not closing but for what it was, it was fairly fun. Plus getting to turn Mars green always felt rewarding. I always played with chill locations though, never went for the hard runs, sometimes it’s fun to play like humanity succeeds.
I looks pretty when enabled, can you get Cyberpunks level of ray tracing visuals without it? Honest question, I thought that’s what made the game gorgeous, but if it’s possible without it why don’t know why some teams haven’t shown those results without it? And again I may have missed some games that do near equivalent without that feature.
I haven’t bought a PC gamefrom them in years, though I still occasionally buy their RPG book bundles.
You all just escaped death, running around in dangerous areas you could die (and be brought back to life heh) at any second. Yeah that group is getting frisky if possible, then see where things go later, if you both make it. I haven’t made it to act 3 myself so wasn’t even aware of those romance options got fleshed out.
Yeah between the biker gang and ballad of gay Tony, they had some great dlc for 4. I bought GTA 5 a second time for the PC after awhile but can’t expect a good dlc these days from them unfortunately. Hopefully their main story holds up but I’m not holding my breath given their online cash cow.
Going back awhile now too for that no install right? Like didn’t PS3 have some installs? My memory is fuzzy on when it exactly started, but yeah it was nice to just pop in the media (cart, disc) and play. That was a great perk of console games, especially rentals,though there was a small time I could rent PC games when I moved to a city in the late 90s. These days I mostly play on PC anyways so always install but it was nice for the first few decades of my gaming to not require it.
To each their own on BG3, I used to play number of tabletop RPG games (many years ago now but a variety) and to me BG3 gives you enough options to feel like you can play as your character rather than just walk between combats, as well as avariety of ways to solve issues. Watching YouTube plays amazes me on the says other people solve the issue. I also used to play the old DnD PC games and it feels much better from my perspective, so that’s probably sways me.
I can see your view but to me BG3 is more intended as a single player game, especially with the companion interactions, so I can see why multiplayer would be lacking. Thankfully I haven’t had many bugs but have heard of them. For reference I have about 120 hours after trying beta a few goes and only a bit in act 2 so it’s a favorite of mine and am biased.
Thank you for the recommendation on the mod, I will definitely give that a try and see how the game plays. I keep meaning to reinstall anyways and new mods always give more incentive.
The gameplay is good but from what I played, outside of combat, it was a bit lackluster, and rations were a pain when I played. Though it’s hard not to compare it to BG3 in that regard. I did like Larian’s system to interact with the environment and liquids too that made some battles more dynamic. Maybe there’s more of that is Solasta than I saw too, I didn’t get far, should give it another go, it has solid combat which is at least half of a good DnD game.
You know this isn’t comparable to an aRPG I hope. It’s more comparable to DnD on a computer, so a cRPG. They really have minimal in common besides leveling up and finding gear, though aRPGs make you grind for gear, a cRPG will let you find it through various means. It’s a story game more than killing things game, some of the best outcomes happen when you don’t kill. I don’t play on PlayStation so can’t comment on the bugs but haven’t found many in my many hours on PC even through beta.
That was the recent game that came to mind, spent 60 hours on my current playthrough and only starting act 2 (of 3 for those that aren’t familiar). It’s such a well done game, I’ll gladly buy Larian games full price until their quality drops.
Yeah I’ve had it in my library for awhile, played a handful of hours and ended up being off today so thought why not? Can’t get to online mode, I always figured I’d do online mode when it was released. A shame but it happens. Granted I tried right after I could download it so probably not the best time but I was also curious if something like this would come up. I’m sure it’ll get sorted out anyways.
As someone with minimal pokemon knowledge, only played two due to being older and not having Nintendo consoles really, I thought this game was a spin off till I realized no big pokemon or Nintendo logo anywhere. They must have threaded the needle to avoid that copyright infringment.
You played it like 20 years too late, for the record I was about 20 when it was released. Yes there were slogs but couch co-op at the time was fantastic with Halo, multiplayer was much improved with Xbox live and not really there for the first one. There was some way to connect to play with people on the Internet but it wasn’t simple.
Even with the slog areas (Library), with my buddies we played through coop so many times I’m pretty sure I did it solo on legendary a few times solo. I want to say this was one of the first games with regenerating shields for an fps (maybe first but my memory is fuzzy) which people mostly take for granted these days. If I recall you needed health still but that stopped later in the series too. Today I’d probably only play it for nostalgia and have been tempted to pick up the master chief collection to do that.
I see how you can think that playing it first today, but for the time it was something else.
I never noticed many bugs and had 93 hours in the game under two starts, never finished it though, to be fair I don’t finish most games so not much of a difference there. Was playing today and was reminded how gorgeous it is. I love cyberpunk as a genre and have a half decent video card (3070) and the neon, reflections, smoke all look like some of the best of not the best I’ve seen in my 39ish years of gaming. The downside is at 1080p (yeah I know) is the hair looks distorted/crimped close up (mostly bangs and end of the hair) but still looks better overall than any hair I recall and the rest is all eye candy.
Oh guess I should add, it really does feel like a cyberpunk world should, least to me. The setting is perfect for me but I’m sure there’s flaws I haven’t noticed.
I agree but I think it took about this long from Cyberpunk released till there was a better outlook on No Man’s Sky and I bought both at release, I enjoyed both, but I’d say at release Cyberpunk was a better game at launch (I didn’t have any bugs I got lucky). NMS did much more work on content in the following years to where it’s barely the same experience. Has been awhile since I restarted Cyberpunk will do for 2.0 though. Maybe I haven’t caught much newer content and they added it but it seemed updates were tweaks / fixes than content.
Being able to save the state when you have something come up doesn’t make a game a game though. I can see not allowing save scumming (don’t care for that term but not the point) but you should be able to leave a game at your leisure and be able to return to it without having to have the system turned on and ready to play. People can’t always tell how long or much progress a game requires you to be at it before you have to do a large chunk over again because of other responsibilities.
I do see cutscenes being more difficult to handle this but if they’re putting in unskipable cutscenes then that’s something they should figure out, or allow you to skip if needed.
