I'm a diehard firewatch fan if you'd like a slightly spooky, heart full, storytelling masterpiece about the Wyoming forest. Everyone should play this game at some point.

That is so sad Deponia is so good though. They just bit off more than they can chew

spark947 ,

They were kind of sabotaged. Who thought it would be a good idea to make a game about golumn? Like why not make a game about a hobbit instead if you have to make a LOTR non-violence game?

Yes! A Hobbit farming sim. Imagine getting to design your own hobbit hole and farm? Id buy a game like that.

natori ,

A 3d srardew valley style game where you play as a Hobbit would be just… Sooooo good. Nice

The in game potatoes can have the tooltip description, “Po-tay-toes, boil 'em, mash 'em, stuck 'em in a stew.”

Teglement , in If you could only play one game exclusively, which one would it be?

I've been posed the same question about 'if you could only listen to one band' and I usually decide that if I were restricted to just one, I'd sooner drop the hobby altogether. Anything loses its luster after too much repetition for me.

But for the sake of actually answering the question, would have to be something that can't just be shut down, has variety in and of itself, and stands the test of time. So maybe something along the lines of Fallout 4? I know Skyrim is the darling but Fallout 4 has more actual stuff to fiddle with between base building, constant procedural questing, etc. I dunno. That's not a perfect answer, but it's in the same realm at least.

Exactly this. Like, I have favourites - but I'd wind up hating them if that was the only thing I could ever engage with from then forward.

I've found especially with games, there comes a point where if you get deep enough with a game for long enough - there are issues apparent at those levels of detail that are inevitable, and are going to drive you nuts.

No game is going to survive full-time play for a year, or ten years, and you come out the far side still loving it completely.

I think the devs just bit off more than they could chew with a game type way outside of their norm.

They’re used to making adventure and point and click games not big titles like they were trying to do for Gollum.

From the headline I was hoping some execs fell on their sword but nope. Workers get the shaft and higher-ups keep their job to look after the rest of the business.

sculd ,

As always, its the workers who take the fall for greedy executives.

@szczur@kbin.social avatar

To be perfectly honest I don't feel like anything is fun anymore.

You bastards! My budget is completely (censured) up. Just purchased these from this discussion:

  • Technobabylon
  • Prey
  • The Age of Decadence
  • A Hat in Time
  • Risk of Rain 2
  • Risk of Rain
  • Gunpoint
  • Death’s Door
  • Road 96
  • Super Blood Hockey
  • Demon Truck
  • Distance

Argh!!!

nostalgicgamerz ,

Risk of Rain 2 is great. so addictive

M_Djallo ,

I found it so hard I couldn’t enjoy at all. Really, the premises were good, but every time I was completely overwhelmed by enemies! I guess I was playing very badly and wrong

nostalgicgamerz ,

That’s the balance of it…the longer you take the more upgrades you’ll need to survive but you don’t want to instantly activate the teleporter since the boss will be tough

Drusas , in If you could only play one game exclusively, which one would it be?

Skyrim /The Elder Scrolls

Qiz , in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum developer to close after disastrous launch

Oof. This sucks, it seems that if you don’t have an estabilidade name you can’t have bad “AAA” launch nowadays.

ag_roberston_author , in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum developer to close after disastrous launch
@ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org avatar

Completely unsurprising. How anyone at the studio thought that was acceptable to release is beyond me.

gabo2007 , in Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread

I just got and am obsessed with UnderMine, an adorable roguelite dungeon crawler a la Binding of Isaac. Currently on sale for $5!

Ghost Trick Ghost Trick Ghost Trick

technically a puzzle game at the same time but that’s an ace attorney pic so you’re probably cool with it

gingerrich , in mil-sim horror game????

There was one called F.E.A.R that fits the bill

orbit ,

Great game that is a horror shooter, but I wouldn't call it a MilSim though. MilSims are usually games like Arma or Squad.

ag_roberston_author ,
@ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, it has bullet time mechanics.

orbit ,

Which are totally badass ultimately lol

oblast , in Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread

APICO, a nice little beekeeping simulator with bee-breeding mechanics and building.

Ages of Conflict: World War Simulator, an incredibly cheap God-game/nation simulator. Not comparable to WorldBox, though. Just a little game for making nations fight and painting maps
