BlahajEnjoyer , in in my opinion, '98 was the best year for game releases. What's yours?

I was born in 99’ so 2007 was my year.

banana_meccanica , in in my opinion, '98 was the best year for game releases. What's yours?

Tekken 3 was good evolution of tekken games, big deal and very fun to play. I think 1998 is a console gaming year, cd-base, while still PC system have to deal with hardware improve.

Oh wow. That was a really interesting read. I hadn’t heard of that YouTube channel before.

I like to post the occasional video game review on YouTube, but that’s just because I enjoy talking about video games. I work really hard to form an opinion with reasons to back up each point I make. If I’m undecided on something or am purely speculating, I’ll clearly state that. My goal is for the viewer to calmly think, huh, even though I may or may not agree, I understand his point.

I didn’t realize these kinds of things were happening in YouTube videos. It makes sense. Outrage sells so well on news channels and news websites for adults interested in current events, so it would also be aimed at other demographics.

I used to watch Zero Punctuation until I realized, even though the videos are entertaining, they’re kind of empty of any deep thought. Maybe it’s a similar situation?

I’ll keep it in mind as my kids grow up and watch more and more stuff like this.

Zummy , in What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?
@Zummy@beehaw.org avatar

No mention of Ori and the Blind Forest and it’s sequel yet? Those are incredible songs.

Other great soundtracks to me are definitely Splatoon, Katamari Damacy, the Atelier series, Polybridge’s soundtracks are relaxing. Valkyrie Elysium had a great soundtrack too. All the Be’elze tracks from there are wonderfully atmospheric. Big shout outs to Okami too.

Can’t you just wait until the full release then?

I still listen to Simcity 3000 and Sims 1 soundtracks a lot.

Rekhyt , in What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?

I can’t believe no one has said Halo/Halo 2

OtterPops , in Cosy, brainless games when you're sick

A few brainless clicks now and then, you say? A couple years ago I was sick and I played the game The Longing and I remember thinking it was the perfect stuck at home sick game.

tranzystorek_io OP ,
@tranzystorek_io@beehaw.org avatar

I played The Longing when I wasn’t sick, but the pacing felt worse than sluggish, so it was a quick refund.

OtterPops ,

See that’s the problem. You have to be sick enough that you need everything to move at a snail’s pace. Lol

MJBrune , in Let’s start a bar fight, shall we?

I just played this exact scene in RDR2. Although no context has really been provided.

schreiblehrling OP ,

Heh, funny. Tbh, I do not like the fist fights, they feel weak and clumsy, but this time I won on the first attempt. At least.

MJBrune ,

Rdr2 has so many odd controls that I literally don’t know what the melee is by default and had to look it up again when I got into another fist fight section. The narrative is basically the only thing convincing me to play. The mechanics are starting to get real repetitive and the game is insanely slow for what it is. It seems like a well done game but I wish the animations and forced pacing took a backseat to give the player more agency. I feel like I’m parts they wanted to make a cutscene but some executive said “no no we need now interaction otherwise it’s not a video game.”

codecompost , in Remember the hype around Fallout 4?

I never found dogmeat.

johntash , in Games like Marvel:Midnight Suns?

The XCom series maybe? R

lol, tax collector man. that guy is weird, i guess medium just lets anybody post anything now huh. crowbcat does suck but do does every YouTuber. YouTube systematically does this with all of its content.

rivingtondown , in Working parents, how do you find time to game?

My kid is a toddler, I can’t play games around him, even on my Switch or Steam Deck because he’s too distracting and wants too much attention. My wife and I usually play games for about an hour after he goes to sleep and we finish all the chores (laundry, cooking, dishes, food prep, daycare prep).

Between about 9:00pm and 10:00pm, on weekends if either of us have the time we’ll try to get chores done during the day while he’s awake which would give us maybe one more hour.

That’s it though, probably a third of the time we spend that single hour with some other form of relaxation (TV, book, social media, maybe ½ a movie). Another third of the time we just have other obligations or extra chores - maybe we need to do taxes or buy airplane tickets or book hotels for travel. Then, probably one or two nights a week on average we’re just too tired to do anything past 9pm and go to bed early.

So… all said, maybe 3 hours of gaming a week on average. Every so often my wife or I will take the kiddo out by ourselves and the other will have an extra hour or two for whatever but that’s not every week.

shakesbeare , in Need Mod Suggestions to make Witcher 3 less grindy
@shakesbeare@beehaw.org avatar

See you found a solution but I’m still curious how you had this problem. There were very few enemies that I felt had a health pool wildly too large and it was usually as a result of the enemy upscaling feature rather than death March. Those two enemies begin the Djinn and a certain swordsman fight from the DLC.

I had to consistently play with upscaling on because the enemies were generally too squishy and I was killing them so fast the challenge of death March was wasn’t completely unnoticeable.

I wonder if it was your build or perhaps some other aspect of your gameplay that made this happen?

conciselyverbose ,

Yeah, I felt that death march was disappointing with how much of an absolutely cakewalk it was. Quen and the combined options of sidestep and roll made taking any damage at all pretty rare.

@snowbell@beehaw.org avatar

I ended up quitting the game because some early game enemies were too tough, on casual mode :(

When people say stuff like this it makes me feel like I’m missing something

followthewhiterabbit ,

I see this weird Death March thing everywhere. I replayed through recently on the easiest setting (story and sword, I think its called?) and had a GREAT time.

If you ever feel the urge, I can’t recommend it enough. The first couple hours of playing are like an extended tutorial. The entirety of White Orchid is a learning zone, really.

As everyone says, once you reach the Bloody Baron quest, you see just how amazing the game and the writing can be!

catch22 , in Working parents, how do you find time to game?
@catch22@programming.dev avatar

I think I found for me that it was more the adult game content than anything else that kept me from playing a lot. My kids are 9 now, but when they were 3 or 4 Imy solution was to buy a psvita off ebay and use the remote play a lot. I think they have the same thing for phones and you can buy some pretty cool controller attachments. Although it’s not perfect, it allowed me to play some more intense PS games from anywhere in the house, without having to worry about the little ones seeing them.
