only if the dev/publisher/whoever-responsible offers the different versions as available branches in the game’s properties. Some do, most don’t.

so, roughly something like Deathspank?
I was about to argue that this isn’t “pay-to-win”, as just having the ship doesn’t automatically make you better in-game, but…

If the pre-built ship is destroyed you will be able to redeploy it at no cost, but any additional modules you have added will require in-game credits to retrieve during re-buy.
does this mean that the arx-bought pre-built ship has essentially 0 Cr rebuy? Sounds kinda low-bar entry for no-risk pvp or griefing, if so.
Hell yea, Indy Atlantis is absolute peak… then again so is most of lucasarts point&click adventure games.
Man I wish the teased sequel for atlantis was actually made :/
I haven’t played many SNES games, but the ones I have have been pretty good. Fairly sure there’s quite a bit of stinkers in there too.
while all of those qualities are great, they alone don’t make game great.
Dunno if it is good or bad, but Warframe has this loading screen where you see players’ ships and you can steer them a bit. No real point to it, but at least it’s something to do when waiting for someone to load in.
I watched it ages ago entirely because it was on netflix (IIRC), had time to waste & I had heard Jim Carrey was absolutely going ham as the Dr.Robotnik. It was an ok timewaster, obviously not high art or anything.
apart from the settlement maintenance, I have really liked it. It’s been quite some time since I last played it tho.
Some time ago Sim Settlements 2 -mod was recommended to fix the settlements, but… yea, waiting for the patch to drop and mods get fixed.
Got roped back into Warframe after few years of away time. Got to say, occasionally doing few missions and knocking a story mission is pretty awesome. Initially had some issues with solo-required Railjank mission (big space ship piloting), but then my clan mates tipped me of a crew I can hire. Who would have thought a big ship needs a crew? :P
Other than that, also got dragged into Fallout 76. Only played it for ~3ish hours and, tbh it isn’t as bad as I’ve been led to believe. But it’s also not that great. The pacing feels odd, but could be just because of the tutorials I’m still in. Audiotapes drag on and on and on, the player encampment (and “mmo aspects” in general) feel VERY tacked on. Coop gameplay feels cool, but ofc. my friend finds all the cool loot and looks like a SWAT team member, whereas I’m dressed in the most basic leather scraps.
Also I’ve been chipping away in some idle games, Unnamed Space Idle, mainly. Nothing really remarkable happening there, but number go big big.
EDIT: oh yea, fallout 4 patch should drop tomorrow? Yea got to get back on that too. Moddable FO4 experience sounds better than 76. Just… hope the mod authors are still at it.
I guess I’m in the older segment as I’m in my 40’s, and still basically exclusively a pc-guy, making a slow but somewhat sure transition over to penguin themed os from windows.
I do play some older console games (via emulation), adventure games (scummvm <3) and quite a bit of modern pc singleplayer/coop titles. My go-to launchers are Steam and GOG.
Sure, pc maintenance can be a lot at times, but I’m a nerd and tinker on my pc a lot anyway, so it just happens.
what I meant was that their site (https://simsettlements2.com/) lists 3 different chapters as different downloads, each newer requiring the previous ones.
haven’t delved in their documentation yet, I’m assuming these are stacking changes/quests somehow, but… dunno. I’ll read into it.
…that actually sounds interesting, Might need to look into that. My original plan was just to mod in infinite carryweight and such and just pick a direction and go on an adventure but now I’m reconsidering.
So how does the sim settlements thing work, if I’m going with it, do I need to (or want to?) install all the chapters, or should I add those once “I’m done” to move it along?
It’s been a hot minute since I last played F4. But now that a friend of mine roped me into F76 I’ve been itching to get some F4 action in between the sparse F76 sessions, esp. since the big update is just around the corner.
IIRC the perks system in F4 requires you to have stats in the SPECIAL -stats to open up the stat related perks, and then choose to spend the perks points to those instead of the stats. Other perks are given as rewards from (side?) quests - if memory serves, but it’s been a while.
I did enjoy the adventuring aspeects of F4, but the settlement management was pure agony. The more you build the settlements, the more attractive they become for mutant/bandit/whatever attacks. If you don’t build them, the settlers moan about not having places to sleep or food to eat. Even if you build them everything, the idiot settlers can’t figure out themselves to start farming if there’s no food, instead they require the player to specifically assign them for the task.
Other than the settlement management, the game is great, but as it’s bethesda creation it gets better with mods. I recall esp. enjoying mod which removed ambiguity from dialogue choises and just showed the actual lines instead of “snarky” or “okay” or whatever.
As far as companions go, I do enjoy “the private detective” as a companion, if I had to choose, but mostly I prefer going in alone, as the companions can be dumb as left boots. Died so many times because the idiots walk into all the traps imaginable. And the “stealth archer” doesn’t need companions, they’re powerful and broken like in every Bethesda -game :P
Last time I played my VATS got glitched and didn’t work anymore, apparently this has something to do with vault 114 & is a known issue. Didn’t bother me one bit and I kept on playing without it. IMO, the game got better without VATS.
Tips? Nah, you do you. The game turns into power fantasy regardless of what you do. But in general talk to everyone and do listen in on the radiochannels which can pop out randomly out there, there’s always something cool or funny to find.
I‘d post about games I‘ve played lately (like Unravel) but I feel like „was a cool game with a cool style which made me enjoy the graphics even today and was interesting to platinum“ doesn‘t start much of a discussion.
I’ll be the first to admit I mainly lurk, but I’d be interested to read about games people find interesting. Who knows, might be a title which flew under my radar and was one introduction away from being my all time favorite.
But yea, the “what are you playing” threads were fun reads.
Got to play it with someone for a bit, they seemed to know where all the neat things were (iirc, the murals, scarf lengthening thingies, etc). But due to the inability to communicate more than just “dings” I couldn’t convey that I needed a quick toilet break. They were gone after I came back, which was a bit sad but I probably wouldn’t have stayed waiting either, tbh.
It was quite okay, I recall playing it through twice, but the second round didn’t really offer much in terms of “value” over the first. Cool visuals and concept, though.
Other somewhat similar vibing games which I somewhat relate to Journey:
good to hear. But, either way all my current stuff is on offline and none of my friends have the game, so moot point.
Last Epoch
playing offline because that’s where all my stuff is as last I checked the online was a disaster. Other than that, it’s pretty cool ARPG. Though I have some thoughts about some “gearcheck” -type bosses. After ~180h (since beta) or whatever, I’m still thinking it’s a solid 7/10. Fairly enjoyable, but not greatest of all time by any stretch.
Content Warning
It’s completely stupid and I love it. Essentially wannabe-“spööktubers” take a camera and few flashlights into dark, abandoned industrial complex to film something spooky, just to gain views on “Spööktube”. Views gain you money, money buys you gear.
The dives to the industrial complex are very short too, as you can only film so much (90s max, it seems), and the monsters are hella deadly. Either the camera gets filled or everyone is dead in minutes.
The footage can be saved as .webm -videos to desktop, which is GREAT
“Where’s John Connor” - could work :D
