Scavkour Edition

>What the heck is this
/indie/ is the general for all indie games, such as Age of Decadence, A Hat in Time, Axiom Verge, Baba Is You, Battle Brothers, Card City Nights 2, Cave Story, Civilization, CrossCode, Cultist Simulator, Darkest Dungeon, Darkwood, DashBored, Dead Cells, The Desolate Hope, Disco Elysium, Environmental Station Alpha, FTL, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Knytt, LISA, Lobotomy Corp, Loop Hero, Machinarium, Middens, Monolith, Monster Train, Noita, OFF, OneShot, Rimworld, Rain World, Scav Prototype, Slay the Spire, Starsector, Subnautica, Sunless Skies, Underrail, VA-11 HALL-A, Yume Nikki, etc., as well as other games that just don't fit in any other general such as Atelier, Pillars of Eternity, Rayman, and Valkyria Chronicles. /jrpg/ is welcome. Idle, roguelite, shmup, 4x / RTS / city-builders, and RPGMaker games are cool too.

Mobile or consoles, Flash or Unity, freeware or early access. This place is a home for the indie game community and indie and obscure games that don't have a home. So be free to talk and share all your hidden gems, forgotten games and starving devs here.

>Can I talk about games that already have a general?
We mostly discuss games that are not popular enough for their own threads, however, all indie games are allowed. So talk about them if you want, but don't overdo it since you already have other generals for that.

Scav gamers won huh? Damn, that one Anon is gonna be seething

>>530453609
The normal OP is taking a nap and I had no appropriate webms of my own, had to come up with something quick before the thread archived, borrowed a Scav one from the last thread (thanks btw) cause like it or not it gets talked about enough to warrant it. Last thread started with it so might as well repeat it for this one

Hopefully there's no spaz attacks about it that last from when you go to work til when you come home

>>530448692
>Any thoughts on the game?
Just distilled gungame fun. Very unrestrictive. Use whatever against whoever in whichever way you like, and game won't punish you or force to switch to a different build, in a way it even encourages sequence breaking with destructible terrain and creative ability usage. Very progression heavy, really opens up in the second half of the game.
>Length?
About 10-12 hours for 100% (i also kinda suck at bibeogames). Free dlc releases this summer too, so i expect like 3-4 more hours of content.
>Movement?
Fun, but very heavily progression focused. You get additional hook grapples per jump, more doublejumps, movement perks, etc. A bit slower in the beginning, but just base hoverboarding is fun. For some reason dev removed the option to disable backflips (due to some perks utilizing them) but they're kinda clunky and you will often do them accidentally.
>Difficulty?
Varies. If you can be a masochistic retard (like me), you can only run bolt snipers without OP perks and focus on pure movement, and intentionally pick harder levels. Game is completely open and you can go wherever you want from the very beginning, but some areas are ability locked. You can sequencebreak them easily if you want to, though.

Overall probably one of my favorite FPSes in recent years, but it appeals to the specific open-world, freedom-driven autism i have heavily. Might not be your cup of tea if you prefer more curated stuff.

>>530455413
I'll add it to my wishlist and pick it up after it gets that free DLC, I still got vidya from the summer sale to go through in the meantime, thanks

Anyone know other rpgm games with mode7?
I didn't even know that was a thing.

I'll ask again in this thread since last one was at bump limit.
>Steam just recommended me "monster sanctuary". Any opinion?

>>530459717
it's just Fine, imo. the pokemon-metroidvania mashup is interesting in theory, but the platforming isn't fun and the level design is bland, so i never found myself particularly motivated to explore. the combat is the highlight of the game, it genuinely is good and allows for a lot of different team comps, but it starts to get really annoyingly grindy around the midgame. the monster designs are mostly kinda bad and unmemorable, obviously that's up to personal taste but if you ask me designs are the most important thing in a creature collector so i'd take a look at the roster and see how you feel about it
overall i'd say it's worth a buy if you really like creature collectors, but it wouldn't be my first recommendation. cassette beasts is better if you want a more traditional pokemonlike with some platforming/metroidvania stuff and siralim ultimate is better if you want pure teambuilding autism

>>530459717
Kinda meh. But I'm not much a fan of Pokemon-likes, so maybe that was my problem with it.

What if there was an Anon Sanctuary? o.O

>>530461681
Cassette beast does look decent. Very close to pokemon in style.
Right now I'm just looking for games that are below 5€. I found a few like atlyss and crash n sane trilogy that I saw mentioned here and besiege.

@boomers Any reason to play System Shock Classic instead of the Enhanced Edition?

>>530466109
no, EE adds mouse look, improves UI and changes subtitles to be more accurate, and in general just a better experience
unless you've got a giant boner for "doin stuff like back in da days", then there's no reason

>>530466313
Alright that sounds good. Going Enhanced then. I am not a fan of toxic nostalgia that glorifies the shitty parts of the past.

Summer sale is almost over. Remember to pick your share of horror games before it ends because the a, especially if they have sexy vampire goth mommies on it with a bit gore sprinkled on top.

I already boughted your game thoughbeit.

i bought a hat in time. years ago i dropped it because i got motion sickness when i reached the cruise stage. it's really fun playing it again, this time with a friend too! the little dialogues are very well written and funny.

i feel like i'm going crazy but in Lies Of P sometimes when i let go of L1 after blocking P will keep blocking for 2 more seconds

What game? I took my nighty night meds but I'm still awake so I'm feel really playful, sleepy and in general mood to play with cute anime women. Even if they are polish or smoke.

Love Factorio or hate it, I think it might have the best tutorial of all time for a game of this type. It basically just feels like a story mode. Shit like Dwarf Fartress is unplayable cuz its tutorial is so fucking bad.

Just do what I do. Watch LP's of games that seem difficult and then come to /vg/ and make fun of people who ask questions, saying that you understood it fine the first time you played it (which is technically the truth).

The sale is almost over. What did you guys buy so I can copy you because I have no personality or ability to make decisions on my own due to a traumatic childhood that left me permanently scarred causing me to develop dependent personality disorder with borderline traits as a coping mechanism.

Omg
I did know Heartbound was actually being made in *gamemaker*
I thought that was a meme because the 2d tile shit looked exactly like the typical shlop, not literally the drag n' drop, code optional, engine.

>>530498910
Piratesoftware decided to make his own movement and text systems for gamemaker instead of using the baked in version. This is so retarded I don't even know how to express my confusion. It's like if you bought a pizza with pepperoni and took out the pepperoni to put your own half spoiled sausage on top of it. You could have bought a normal pizza instead, you could have been normal and ate the pizza the cooks. But you decided to be stupid.

Why is everyone talking about that lolcow again? The guy is a textbook narcissist and as far as I know there hasn't been any development in his story since the mana gem controversy.

>>530501841
>Why is everyone talking about that lolcow again?
Once "respected" (I always thought he was a cuck) creator who fell from grace, people love mocking stupid people who say stupid shit too

Also, there's over a fucking decade of dirt on the guy, think he was a degenerate in second life back in the day, and he takes care of orphaned ferrets, and because of that, or maybe resulting from it, he has a ferret fursona, I've seen the pics but I don't have them saved. Might be a kiwifarms thread on the guy

tl:dr, his take on stopkillingames is another fuck up in a long list of fuck ups FROM a fuck up

>>530505409
Personally I knew he was shady the moment I first saw him. The first clip I saw was one on twitch bans where he is blatantly wrong, the second I saw he just straight up lied about internet security while claiming to be an expert. Most of the things are so blatantly false that you can google them and get a completely different answer.
But when you voice your concerns about any of that or try to correct anything you just get spammed with "who cares?" by the fans.

popped all the pills i had and tried for my sect leader's GC
just failed to hit 4

Rip, wait for a better season or something if you're not willing to use MQB, you really need a tier 4 or better core to jumpstart your sect to the next level.

is this game a copy of Soundodger with more effects?

yes, but there's a central beam you have to use to collect certain projectiles, and your score depends on how many you've got, while only sides are vulnerable to damage

So did you, that racist freak freaked out.

Crash 3 done. 108%. I didn't bother going for all plat relics because I literally have better things to do.
I'm done with the trilogy. Good games, hated the backtracking for crates. Vicarious visions clearly put a lot of care in this remake but considering they were owned by activision I guess they were likely milked, stripped and killed off and the remains of the company got renamed to something stupid like "Activision blizzard vague-geographical-location" and forced to work on call of duties like all of their other subsidiaries.

>>530463237
I recommend Beastieball if you want a pokeclone anon(s).
The "combat" system is great and the beasties feel unique/stylised enough to not feel like D tier Pokemon in the way Temtems do.
Only major downsides are PVP being limited to room codes and events as the playerbase can't support a permanent queue yet, and the art assets not being finished because it's still in early access. One of the better early access games I've played, you can do everything up to and including the pretty decent post-game, but some of the beastie animations aren't finished yet.

>>530506748
God I absolutely despise belgrade, the worst is the freaking guards who just jankily empties their gun fighting you so you're fucking struggling to find ammo the entire time, doesnt help that all the enemies are bullet sponges. Still feel kindbof pissed off because I had to redo the entire level as the end boss is literally impossible if you go the hostile route (you get overwhelmed nigh instantly because there is like 20 fucking robot bumrushing you at once), so I had to spoil myslef and find another way to complete it.

Like sure I liked the vibe at first, but dying to bullshit enemies who still shoot you for 5 to 6 sec after death as their loose gun just flail around, multiple times in a row, is just straight bullshit. Especially with how you can only save in seemingly random areas with no real consistency (,one stop a one way corridor, another a airduct in an office, another in a corridor between the halls, etc.), so figuring out the level at first is pure undiluted pain as the enemies start springing from all over with pin point precision.

>>530463237
idk, i only heard bad things about cassette beasts
that it's boring, short and uninspired, while late game is extremely grindy and unfun to stay "competitive"

>>530527332
Its basically just a flowery allegory to say elites have an ego bigger than their results.

Belgrade? The city?

I got Touhou lost branch of legend and then nothing else because it has consumed my entire summer so far

>>530545004
The actual city is probably worse, but the anon I was replying to was talking about the belgrade level in Peripeteia

Is Peripeteia worth it if I think EYE, Lain and Sewerslvt are kino?

>>530545354
>EYE
>kino
Consider trepanation.

>>530545574
is that a yes

>>530545436
Dunnos about lain and sewerslvt, but I guess its kind of share vibes with EYE except replace Brouzouf and religious fanatism with post-ussr collapse disillusionment and neo-communism that threat communist leaders lineage like some prophetic genetics line that will bring about a return to the glory days of ussr vs remnant of UN/western cointel trying to keep control but barely caring a out the overall status quo of perpetual misery of life in super commieblocks the size of skyscrapers.

Like less technological marvel and religious iconography, but more down to earth dystopian feeling and survivors killing each others over ideological mumbojumbo that barely understand the source material they're quoting.

Basically good ol Slavic cynicism with a coat of cyberpunk for flavor.

>>530546386
I thought sewerslvt made the music (and the trailers have obvious Lain references)
I'm gonna try it, seems like my kinda thing

>>530546820
Maybe they did, I just never heard of them before, but ill admit I'll look into Lain, sound like a neat read.

how are those

>>530555232
Devil daggers is great but also consider hyper demon (I prefer DD, mostly for aesthetics)

>>530555232
Citadel is straight up guro, people have posted steam screenshots with people gushing over a cute anime girls hanging guts. Pirate it or avoid it.

>>530555232
The Citadel is neat, gunplay was nice, but because the dev is a guro artist, it get somewhat of a bad rep as they extrapolate his fetish to the game art. Personally I dont care about the drama, it was a good fps and worth its price imo.

>>530556619
honestly don't care, as long its just shit on the floor that I can mostly ignore, its not like I am forced to fap to it, but I open to suggestions for other fps games

>>530555504
I want to try the first game before. DD came out first I believe.

I am on the fence about witch's house, its one of these old guard amateur games I heard long ago, but never got around playing

>>530555232
>witch house
I hate it. I don't suggest it.
>Citadel
Very fun game but it's guro.

>>530559634
>I open to suggestions for other fps games
I bought Ravenfield and Military Conflict: Vietnam during the sale, both are MP esque PvE bot shooters A-la Battlefront 1 & 2, though I'm terrible and haven't played either yet. Probs gonna try Vietnam because Ravenfield looks overwhelming, it's got a absolute fucking shit load of mods too.

Can't recommend, yet, but take a look at their pages and see what you think

>Hollow Knight
I don't get the hype. At what point does it click?

>>530555232
>>530559634
Citadel is great though.

Anyone else played Children of Morta? I tried used all the characters balancedly, and when I got to the last area not one of them was close to completing their skill tree. Am I supposed to just pick two or three and ignore the rest?

whoever designed this fucking abomination should be shot with a gun

If I have to take over posting the OP I might change it later, but it'll be up to the original OP Anon if he's awake in time for the next one

for right now, Scav works, I think Casualties Unknown is a better name but Scav rolls off the tongue well, maybe when(if) it comes out fully people'll start calling it CU

Anybody else trying Devil Spire Falls? First few hours felt like a janky procedural morrowind/daggerfall+survival mechanics (close to the full depth of morrowind mechanics just none of the lore). Very autistic and jank but mechanically deep, think this may interest some of you.

Huh, I've heard someone say that "management being unhappy with the timeline" or whatever they said, could be interpreted as the, wanting to delay the game, but I thought that would be to wild.
No idea man. I had that it's going to release into early access and I hate that it's a 50/50 if it's even going to be good. I mean the novelty the first game had is gone, so this has to be real damn good to live up to that. And if they decide this game need to have a story that's front and center I'm ready to bet that it'll turn out shit.

>>530555232
Despite all the screeching about Citadel being guro which it is, it's a fantastic shooter, and its sequel is even better. As for the guro stuff, it's tolerable since there's no nudity. As long as I don't view it as something you're supposed to fap to (I don't think the dev even intended this in the final product), it's just more video game violence. Seriously though, Beyond Citadel is amazing.

I came to the conclusion that the boss was unkillable, and that I'd locked myself. Those robots have unlimited jump range. I've tried so many tactics trying to stay clear of them: going back up the ladder, standing on various pipes, circle strafing, shooting the glass out on the floor and getting them to fall into the lava pits (they jump right back out), going TF2 Soldier on them and blasting at close range with an RPG-7. I took the boss' line about determinism as a not so subtle hint to start over.

I accidentally overwrote it the first time.

>>530621994
I've played furry porn games where the characters have more clothing than that

>>530622492
Porn with an extremely amazing autistic reloading mechanic.
When you hit R, you'll drop your mag and the ammo still in it. There's a chance that you'll lose it and can't pick it back up.
But when you press X, you'll put the semi-full mag into your autoloader belt. If you have a spare magazine, you'll instantly reload. If you only have the one, you have to wait for it to be reloaded. It's still fast, but in a firefight every second matters.
If you're using the lever-action rifle or pump-action shotgun, you have to click RMB or C after each shot to manually cock it. But if you hold LMB and click RMB/C repeatedly, you'll fire the lever-action cowboy style and slam fire the shotgun. There's a double-action revolver that you can also fan.
With the anti-material rifle, you have to pull the bolt back to eject a round and then press RMB/C again to push the bolt back. You can also reload directly to the magazine.
It's all pretty exhilarating senpaidesu.

post on /egg/ to farm (You)s
also be smug about it and try to act like you know what you're doing without being obvious

Skin Deep from blendo is looking pretty damn good, if you know Heat Signature (you should) this is basically 3D Heat Signature, and if you don't know Blendo Games (you should), they made Atom Zombie Smasher back in the day and most recently Quadrilateral Cowboy, this looks to be their most involved/serious game yet, an immersive sim/stealth game about infiltrating spaceships

Bought this on a whim after playing Look Outside. It currently has console ports being made and there is supposed to be a big update released with them, so I will hold off on installing it for now.

>>530658964
Hmm. I wonder what this game was inspired by.

>>530659408
Yeah, it wears its influence more openly than others of its kind.

>>530659408
Yes, it looks like Mother.

>>530648987
First try factorio bases are precious and need to be protected at all costs

>>530648987
And this kind of toxic attitude is why Factorio players are virgins.

>>530663367
You need to be mentally impaired to come with this kind of a base design
It's like posting asking "hey guys rate my first parking" and then it's a picture of a car taking up 2 lots, standing parallel in a perpendicular parking zone

>>530663367
You struck a nerve, the virgin is seething.

>>530648987
Is this AI? I remember someone trying to train an AI to play Factorio. It had even more retarded factories, but maybe it learned something since then.

>>530686337
Yeah I wanted to play around with the map maker when the dev spoke of it, but alas unity isnt free. Like sure there is a free version but its basically super barebone andncant do anything.

Are there other games that does infinite scaling as part of the main gameplay loop?

Fuck it. I'm cheating.
Gave myself 2 more copper nuggets because I was sick of panning, let's gooooooooo and why isn't it melting down-
>need temperature of 1100°
>stuck at 700°
I NEED COAL
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH shit what was that metal that can be melted over a campfire, then? Lead?

>cheat in more coal to actually smelt the copper down
Finally. Now to-
>nope, now you need tongs to actually move the crucible around of you suffer damage and immediately drop the crucible. Hope you're not standing near water lol

At least tongs are easy to craft, I've been picking every ivy and every stick I found.

>>530692249
I think you used to be able to smelt copper with just firewood, it was bronze that required coal.

Sizzling!

reviews say the game is abandoned

>530695069
>release date: fucking two years ago
Okay zoomer. So, there are these things, called games. When a game comes out, it's considered complete, so devs stop working on it to work on something else. Sometimes a game can get patches and updates to fix issues or add content, but normally, once a game is out, it's complete.

>>530695325
i am simply saying what the reviews are saying. please do not confuse them with my own opinion.

>2 turbulent crystals + neural booster
holy FUCK
this is encumberence level 2. if i drop everything i jump so high that if i slam my head into 6-tile high ceiling - i lose consciousness.

Pickaxe soon.
I cheated to get the copper but I want to play "normally".

>>530695471
Then these reviews are stupid.

>>530692703
>cheat in more coal
Why?
I get not wanting to bother with mining, but getting charcoal is mostly just about finding something else to do until it's done, no?
>>530692703
This took me by surprise too, but I think it's a neat change, nice to see it as an animation now.
Having a 800 degree hot crucible in your hand always seemed wrong to me

Stupidly specific question about ASKA:
Is there a button to slow walk?

I was just tired of panning, there are too many rifts outside, it's raining 24/7 ingame, and I got wolves outside my place.
I lost patience and just wanted to progress.

>>530695709
>>530695471
Don't know about this particular game, but there is plenty of cases of early access where the dev just slapped a 1.0 on it and left without finishing and without fulfilling the promises.

People saying the dev run away with the money could be just live service zoomers being retarded, or could be one of these cases.

>>530699027
Every men has the masculine need to go on adventures with your daughter.

>>530695325
>When a game comes out, it's considered complete
>so devs stop working on it to work on something else
That hasn't been the case since "expansion packs" became common(it's been a few decades), especially once games started dripfeeding content that should have been in the base game into the game for years as DLC.

>>530699089
the reviews mentioned updates that were promised but not acted upon, and instead there's new merch priced at 200 USD

>>530699089
I hate that this happened to hellsign.

>>530698830
The in-game handbook did tell you that you'll need a pickaxe and a hammer.
And a tong.
And a charcoal pit.
And that you should spread the copper evenly in the crucible

>>530698295
Dunno, I don't have the game yet

>>530699089
>Don't know about this particular game
Thank you.

>>530695069
The dev teased an update a year ago, he only makes updates on halloween. He missed last halloween so there was no update. The game is already complete anyway.

>>530700714
>that you should spread the copper evenly in the crucible
Beg your pardon?

>>530698830
My fellow of melanated skin, did you even read the guidebook?

>>530704862
It melts faster if the stacks are smaller.

>>530708654
What the fuck?!

>>530695325
the game was in early access for years, and despite it leaving early access two years ago, a lot of people feel like the game isn't complete

>>530715559

Anon, I'm pretty sure it was a new player making fun of himself...

>found malachite in Vintage Story
>managed to smelt it into copper
What.
How? I thought malachite was a gem, like Jade.

>>530717402
its like a crystal of copper and carbon or something

>>530679894
Quality schizoge.

>>530717875
we call that "soul"

>>530717402
the material (malachite) is not the form (crystal or otherwise)
it's a copper ore, which basically means it's a rock with metal in it

>>530717402
>How? I thought malachite was a gem, like Jade.
It is a very rare mineral of copper iirc. I don't know why it is in the game when there's no even precious stone, and the more common cuprite and chalcosomething isn't in-game.

>>530717993
for another example, sapphires and rubies are corundum and thus aluminum
of course they'd never be used for it because aluminum is one of the most common elements on earth and we've gotten very good at pulling it out of bauxite

>>530718252
>I don't know why it is in the game
Because Tyron needed a fancy geology name for copper to fuel his autism

>>530718252
chalcopyrite, basically pyrite with copper in
i hadn't thought about it but you're right that it's weird they're missing
i guess chalcopyrite is kind of a bitch and a half to properly process and would maybe blur the line between bronze and iron tech tiers in VS? but dev could just ignore that if he wanted to

>>530692249
I hope you realize you need both a pick AND a hammer to extract copper from ore

>>530695325
Of course grandpa, now let's get you into the bed for your nap. You know you get cranky if you haven't had your nap.

>>530717402
It's a copper ore that has a pretty green color when polished. Historically it's been used both in jewellery and copper production.

>>530718252
It's in Dwarf Fortress as well.

>Literally cooms himself to a second phase

Finally changed season. The Sosogi bridge is built, and now I need to recruit more people to Sosogi to tech up.

Seven Days to Die pisses me off because there are plenty of options for "useless" furniture and decorations, but they're ALL borked in one way or another to be useless.
Like, these log walls. I cannot use them as walls because they stop "mid-block", if it makes sense, and aligning them is a bitch.
So you got a lot of options to make good looking stuff, but it always come up as weird.

>>530728819

It also unlocks more stuff. You need it to get more buildings and the likes. And also, check the furniture for your... blacksmith? I think?
There's a very important desk that's unlocked without any kind of announcement, that allows you to repair your tools. Only yours, though, when peasants break tools, these disappear, instead of just becoming "tool (broken)".

I won. I cheated like an asshole but I got him while naked with just a flint spear.

wait hold on, her mental state was only 93 when i started last time
mood scalar goes from 1.5x to 2x at 95
that probably pushes me from the very end of t5 to the start of t3 on its own

>>530741785
...in English, please? What am I looking at? The weird cultivation game? You need to keep your harmony above 95 at all time?

>>530741978
only for golden core forming
you want to get as high of a number as possible in a short burst and it has a bunch of scaling factors like season, time of day, ambient qi, and mental state

>>530742079
Oooh, yeah, I think Sseth said something like this. Like, if you want to do fire spells, you need a room made out of wood, and if you want to inhibit fire magic, use metal.
You really have to put every chance on your side for it to work.

>>530742218
yeah
like this guy uses a metal law, so his training room is filled with spirit wood that's far enough away that it generates ambient qi but the elemental wood from it doesn't reach the center, and then a bunch of stone essences because they both tune the environment to earth (which fuels metal) and gather qi
the top one is just empty because i'm missing an essence

>>530742607
Oh shit. I wonder if this isn't why I had to many issues when I tried to play this myself, all the disciples had their own custom meditation chambers but their living quarters were all in the same place, so I wonder if the different essences weren't why they were constantly mentally unstable.

>>530742607
Dammit, now I want to get back into it.

>>530715559
>can't make custom items or skills
Yes, the game is in fact not complete.

>>530744096
Okay zoomer.

>>530742607
Wait, just to be sure, the essences' effects are limited to a room?

>>530742885
nah, the mental state thing isn't impacted directly by composition. it's mostly just keeping their aim set to mind that pushes it up, while it lowers over time and while training

>>530744923
basically. stuff with elemental influence has a force and range (usually 3-4 tiles early, a little further later on), and won't do anything past that

>>530744307

>>530715907

ugh. got an earth flux and a +perception pill for more max qi, plus popped a purity herb for mental state but still fell just shy of t3
i might just need to get more gather qi for this at this point. i guess i could MQB?

The HD track can fuck off.

They're closing on me... Can they smell me?

Does lightning these do anything? At all?

Sunless Skies is enough of an improvement over Seas that the lackluster overworld gameplay and combat stand out even more. Enemies are still just kinda there, with no real connection to the stories and quests, and very little variety in how they work. No storyline ever leads to a fight, no weird, different enemies despite the weird, different setting, and still nothing land-based at all. It’s kind of a letdown.
Are there mods for this? Or Skies mods at all?

I don't understand what I am supposed to do with an arming dagger in half sword. A two handed weapon, or sheild I understand. I am supposed to practice throwing it with the training dummy?

>>530757848
Stab.
Throwing your weapon is not a reliable technique by any means.

>>530759890
Surely the guy running the arena could get better fighters than two dudes from the local chess club wearing pressure cooker pots

>>530757848
I also don't like how the Mourningstar that is always on Soldier rank and above is always on your sheild arm. I don't know the situation where I am bringing out the Mourningstar where I still want my sword. Maybe if I was in a 2v1 with an armored guy and a soft skin, but that has only ever happened to me in the void. I can imagine many more situations where having a sheild and mourningstar is useful.
>>530759890
I can stab with the sword, how is the arming dagger and sword not directly inferior to a sheild and sword.
The knifes exists in a totally diffrent ecosystem to the arming dagger, I mean is it bad faith that made you compare them? I thrust the knife into the 1st Champion every time, i can't imagine the 3rd Champion letting you do that to him.

>>530686127

landmines aren't that scary if you know what to do

Cardaire runs at like 50% speed on my 460T
it feels like a scam, the game looks like 3ds era pokemon. A big 3d forest must be the cause, bad optimization.
It's not bad and cheap so I'll just play it in the future.

I'm still utterly confused by the timeline of the main game plus dlc, and especially Arlecchino

>>530804191
Fuck, that's very broad, anon.

>>530806458
NTA. But if you picked a start with a trading ship, start buying energy cells from a solar colector and and sell them to virtually everyone.
Pros: they are very very very cheap and plentiful and everyone will buy them, you will have plenty of places to sell them to.
Cons: they aren't the most expensive things so they don't really have great profit margins.

>>530804789
>cannot find copper
There's native copper. But I keep forgetting which metal is which and have reread the handbook.
Would be nice to have a single page that lists all metals and their natural forms.

Sometime after that. Arlecchino's remains awaken and access to a phone and taunts the player with riddles. Gepetto was working with the alchemists but only cared about bringing his son back to life, and failed to realize that his son's soul had already succesfuly implanted in a puppet. At least that's what I think was going on

>>530760802
It is confusing that you think they should be equally useful.
You stab with it if you want to use it, otherwise just drop it and use your sword.

>>530809074
...but I can drop my sheild too, if I think it's appropriate, though. I think they should be useful because you either start with an arming dagger, or a buckler on commer rank. I don't see how the arming dagger isn't directly inferior.

>>530809785
>I don't see how the arming dagger isn't directly inferior
It is.

>>530804789
You learn a lot from games like this. Not because the game itself is in any way educational, but because it encourages you to read wikipedia articles just so you know what the hell you're even looking at.

>>530809845
Ok, but why does it appear in my hand 40% of the time.
>Oh, you're supposed to re-roll untill you get the optimal meta weapon.
What a retarded decision.

>>530808592
>conveniently placed landmine right in front of the autodoc entrance

>>530810495
Variety.
You can adhere to the meta if you want, you're not supposed to.

Delta V has some great moments
I love finding little secret places like this. Also it can have some really great atmosphere when you find a derelict ship floating around in empty space or suddenly stumble upon a cluster of frozen corpses and the spooky music kicks in.
I just wish all the NPCs weren't drunk drivers and in general it reminds me a lot of Elite's space mining. Somewhat repetitive core gameplay loop broken up by small interesting moments like this. Also tinkering with your ship is a lot of fun. I think I've almost gotten mine to the point where I'm perfectly happy with it, want to fit one out for salvaging ops next.

The Elon Model E is actually really good at salvage operations, since the RCS thrusters are placed near the middle. With the basic Tarantula, it's really hard not to cook the ships I'm trying to grab.

>>530815089
Forgot pic

>>530742607
>>530752232
I would always MQB no matter what, but really all you need is a tier 4 core to start. The first milestone for progression is having a cultivator with 150,000 or more max qi and you can do that with early laws and tier 4. A better core would let you get a multiple of that which is more convenient, but all you REALLY need is the 150k max.

I really should probably make a chart or something for progression, so people can refer to it and figure out what their next major goal or milestone should be.

>>530812284
>>530815089
I didn't notice your post. I didn't want to suggest you should buy an Elon Model E for salvaging. It's outrageously expensive, and you need to sink even more money into equipment and modifications before it's usable.

>>530811589
How is having having a direct downgrade to the sheild variety? If there was a load-out where you just got nothing in the off-hand slot, would that be more variety?

>>530817952
Yes.
An option that is worse than your other options is still an option.

>>530818754
No it's not. What if you showed up to commoner teir with no arms and you can only kick. That's an actual option, but you wouldn't want it in the game. I don't want to have to do beggar and peasant rank for a chance for the game to tell me "You rolled the weapon that makes you lose go do it again".
It's not an option also, it's the weapon you get, or you can choose to reroll, but you said you aren't supposed to reroll until you get the meta weapon.
This is all ignoring the fact that having nothing in your off hand is something you can do if you roll the sheild, by just hutting Q to drop it.

>>530819525
You aren't supposed to as in you can simply use something else.
It is an option, objectively. Just don't use it if you don't like it.

>>530819840
>You shouldn’t reroll
>We will just give you litteraly nothing sometimes, and if you have a problem with that just reroll
>...but you aren't supposed to reroll

>>530821195
...so I am supposed to just reroll untill I get the meta weapon.

>>530821298
No.
You're supposed to use the weapon you want to use.

>>530736615

Finished it once before, I cant recall as which slugcat tho. It was novel, but the movement gameplay just didnt entice me to play further.

Want to know a fun fact about Earth? There is like 2 time as much water than on the surface in the mantle and upper mantle, but its locked into minerals like ringwoodite. Also it has been proven that petroleum oil isnt the result of ages past carbon matter decomposing but a side produce of matter interaction within the mantle.

What can a AAA racing game possibly offer you that an indie racing game can't. The idea of racing game is pretty simple, it should never need more than 5 people working on it.

>>530838136
no commitment to servers + large vahicle selection + freeform exploration/racing with a chance to bump into other players. indie alternatives can't afford servers that support MMO levels of playercounts and have fewer unlicensed cars.

...natural forms of metals?

>>530810221
I'm so very tempted to get into metallurgy just so that I understand how that works because the fact that you cannot get iron naturally confuses me. And the idea that malachite can turn into copper also confuses me.

>>530821830

The weird mineral names are simpy what rocks with metal in them are called. They don't turn into metal.

>>530870809
yeah okay, keep playing your gross furry trauma sim

>>530879212
Wait, so... kinda like Tiberium, that is a crystal somehow containing gold, silver, platinum, pokemon cards, and other valuables?

>>530879010
You can get native iron in real life, it's just so incredibly rare that it was pure speculation until recently and is only found in meteorites and a single known natural deposit of significant quantity on earth.
Iron is rarely found in native form(meaning not in some kind of ore) because it is highly reactive and, outside of exceptional circumstances, will readily turn to rust. Whereas gold doesn't react at all and so is most often found in native form rather than in ores.

>>530879785

>>530879010
for metallurgy you often work with the pure element so for example you need to remove the Cu from the Cu2CO3(OH)2 that is malachite. thats the part that "turns into" copper. you often alloy with other elements but removing all the unwanted elements is a baseline

>>530849134
I can't defeat the Third Grate Champion

>>530880603
Oh yeah, that's why gold is so popular. But the fact that iron just disappears over time is a bit stressful, imagine if Vintage Story had it too, with the world's reserve of iron diminishing over time even if you don't mine it.

>>530880790
Wait, so... there are different kind of coppers?
I'm sorry, I'm lacking the fundamentals here. I get that you don't find copper niggers by digging, but why are there different kind of copper minerals?

>>530880809
I take it that purifying ore is a big, big, big part of smelting, then, and a lot more complicated than just smashing it with a hammer and putting it in a crucible.

The metal atoms are sticky, and then chemistry happens when they touch other rocks and you get pretty colors.

>>530881397
Wait, so all these crystals are peppered with copper powder or something like this?

>>530881350
Most metals can be found in native form, including copper.
The formation and degradation of metals occurs over geological time frames, you wouldn't notice anything changing with how common iron is in your life time unless you're mining a lot of it.
The color of ore is usually determined by what's in it, often the metals and rocks that comprise it. Many ores often have multiple kinds of metal in them. Tetrahedrite contains a number of metals within, including copper, lead and silver.

>>530881559
its an atomic bond thats why you have to use really high heat to cause new configurations to emerge, such as reacting with the air or introduced carbon/charcoal

Actually, why the fuck am I explaining this?
Watch this Anime for plot.

>>530881559
ok, let's start at the beginning.
what do you think a rock is? like, chemically?

>>530882527
>Many ores often have multiple kinds of metal in them
Ha, okay. I get it.

>>530882651
So basically, copper is just one component of these, and you want to extract it.

>>530884073
You know I actually have no idea what a rock is made out of. I know there are different kind of stones, like granite, marble and the like, but I don't know what they're made of. Likely carbon and what else.

>>530882690
It's a great plot.

>>530884773
ok, common rocks are generally made of a mixture of silicon, calcium, carbon, and trace metals. Atoms of different elements can bond into molecules and depending on what elements there are and in what order you get different minerals/ores.
because there's a bunch of elements in there and they don't line up neatly you get a big ol' blob of "rock". when you have a lot of one element, or a few elements that are (and I'm going to use this word wrong but it gets the idea across) geometrically compatible, you get a crystal. this means that the atoms will stack cleanly into a regular shape & pattern. something like water, which has 2 hydrogen and one oxygen per molecule, will cleanly stack into a hexagon when crystalized which is why snowflakes are hexagonal.

now we get into minerals, ores, and extracting metals. a mineral that has a high concentration of a specific metal is typically referred to as an ore. Quartz is a mineral made of SiO4. so four oxygen atoms and one silicon atom per molecule. Wolframite is composed of Iron, Manganese, Tungsten and Oxygen, that means it would be an iron or tungsten ore. depending on what you were processing it for. when a stone gets very hot or experiences a very high pressure the bonds between the atoms in the molecules gets weakened and they're able to slip around and break apart. different elements are heavier/lighter so in the big atom soup they'll drift into clumps and when cooling will create new bonds either into pure lumps of specific metals or into new molecules & crystals depending on how hot it got and how quickly it cools. By controlling those values and understanding the molecular makeup of the rocks you're processing you can extract the specific element you're after

Finished outer wilds DLC. Not bad, but I didn't like much of the stealth parts and the lack of space travel. I think the vanilla was better.

>>530879010
>Sorry, but as far as I know... combat in X4 is just defending, you can't live as a bounty hunter, right?
Yeah, bounties are barely a thing in the game. Basically, some sectors are owned by specific factions, and if people who are enemies with these factions enter that space you can shoot them down for some money and some reputation gain. But I can't say I've ever done that as a "main activity", at best it happened as a secondary effect of defending an area or something.
I do believe however that there's a bunch of mods that give some sort of actual bounty hunting. The most probably one being the Star Wars one I think. (Never played).

>>530886523
I see. So essentially, the different crystals/rocks have different density of ores.
Purifying ore is really more important than blacksmithing it, but I'm happy this part is simplified to "smash rock, smelt remains". I assume that doing this IRL would result in a very impure copper that would get me a fragile blade?

>>530889147
>impure copper that would get me a fragile blade?
if you just smashed & melted, yeah it wouldn't be a good blade at all. but combining elements to make a stronger metal is incredibly common. that's what alloys are. Add a smidge of tin to your copper and you get bronze which is harder and more durable than copper and almost as hard as iron.
A big part of blacksmithing is further purifying the ore. heating, striking, and folding works out unwanted impurities leaving a stronger alloy and also can alter the crystal structure of the metal further changing it's strengths

metallurgy is an ancient science and it's really boundless if you keep trying things
How to make everything & Primitive technology are a youtube channels and they both have a bunch of videos about smelting ores

I just assumed she was male this whole time because I'm so used to furries being a bunch of a gayfaggots.

>>530889147
Copper itself is pretty fragile anyway, that's why making a greatsword out of copper that could do sword things is effectively impossible.

>>530890959
Yeah, but I do mean copper. Bronze is another thing in Vintage Story, you start with copper, then move on to bronze.

>further purifying the ore. heating, striking, and folding works out unwanted impurities
Ha, I see. Now that you say it, I did remember watching a video about Japanese blacksmithing when I was in my Nioh period, because I wondered what "tamagahane" was, and they explained that he folds and folds and folds because their iron is very impure, so they work it even more to get a decent iron.
Then something about making two kind of iron for the blade so that it's half "get dulled easily but bend", and half "stay sharp but breaks".
Blacksmithing is complex in Vintage Story but we're barely scratching the surface.

>>530888756
So yeah, sorry but trading it is for you.

>>530891180
Yeah, apparently swords are surprisingly complex to make, compared to spears. But Vintage Story has falxes, so my lust for sharpies is satisfied.

>Purifying ore is really more important than blacksmithing it, but I'm happy this part is simplified to "smash rock, smelt remains".
That's basically it for historic metallurgy. The copper has a lower melting point than the silica rock, so when you heat it up you end up with molten copper that easily separates from the solid slag. Depending on the ore it might have other metals in it, but a bronze age metalworker wouldn't know how it worked - just that ore from a specific region had slightly different properties. And that mixing some tin ore to the copper before melting gives you bronze, which is stronger and easier to work with.

Some metals are more finicky of course, and some are very finicky, requiring modern chemistry. Look up how aluminum is made, and it'll be obvious why it doesn't exist in Vintage Story despite the ore being abundantly common.

>>530923842
Quite honestly, it sounds really interesting. Is it what the elven hammers are for, later in the game, when you get to steel and you have to hammer stuff? I saw some of these hammers in For Honor as well, they are MASSIVE and moved by a noria, a water wheel. And they're also map hazards and will kill any poor fucker thrown under them in one hit. Are they hammering steel to try to remove the impurities, like iron or bronze would get folded and hammered?
And bronze is such a massive improvement over copper, it's not even funny. I can't wait to get iron in Vintage Story, it's going to be hilarious.

>Look up how aluminum is made
Yeah, nah. Aluminium came up when that boat game came out, Kancolle or whatever the name is. Something abotu bauxite and what else.
Apparently aluminium is really, really complex to make, and it never ceases to amaze me, because I keep thinking of aluminium as "that thing that wraps chocolate". And yet it's apparently amazing.

>>530804021
Go to Hatikvah's Choice and hang around the gate leading to xenon space. Xenons (usually) constantly trickle in and get promptly destroyed by the nearby station/ARG fleets nearby. Pick up whatever loot they drop and sell everything but spacefly eggs and one each of the three items you need for SETA. Craft spacefly eggs into caviar and sell it for 1M+. When you have a couple millions in the bank, buy a medium mineral miner and set it to automine for passive income.
For a quick boost of such loot go to terran space and blow up criminal traffic until you get enough rep to start their questline, then follow through with it. At one point you'll be tasked with defending a station in Getsu Fune from a massive xenon attack. You don't actually need to fight them, they're no match for the station and the defending fleet. You can easily get a couple millions from the shitton of loot lying around. Again, buy more miners and set them to work.
Silicon mining is the most profitable, but depending on gamestart RNG the silicon-rich systems may not have the stations that actually want to buy it, so you'll need to set up repeat orders to mine in sector A and sell in sector B, which does cut a bit into your profits. If they have to jump more than one sector, don't bother with it and mine ore instead.
Also note that you WILL lose miners to the khaak sooner or later, though by the time that happens you'll usually have enough dosh to not care about its replacement cost.

>>530868694
i love this game
i have 300+ hours in cogmind and way more in cataclysm (both bn and dda)
what it achieves exactly is carrying over complex systems into pure physicalality and feel
when your character is carrying half their bodyweight with loot, clad in armor, it's not just a stamina and a movement cost modifier, it's a platoformer and it allows it to be direct - not just lower stats, but you will slide off slopes, keeping balance will be more difficult of uneven terrain and your mass will directly affect both your fall damage and how much your body will damage it's surroundings.
webm is an example of such an interaction. i am both fat due to poor diet, and carry about 18 units of loot. due to my weight, a single block of sand breaks under my girtch and sends me funneling downwards right onto a jumppad trap that i didn't see. unfortunately, by pure coincedence, it sends me into a second one, however, due to my weight - it cannot launch me nearly as high compared to stepping on it with light load and stomach. thanks to this (and my incredible luck), i just walk off with a few bruises which could've been fractures from hitting the ceiling
getting concsussed isn't just "You hear a loud bang!" and "You can't see anything!" in log, followed by a 1 tile fov limit, it actually directly affects your perception of a player. shaders making finding visual cues more difficult, tinnitus making hearing things from further away nigh impossible - all directly affects your ability to analyze and navigate terrain. you setp on a landmine not because you failed a perception roll, but because you specifically, didn't notice it due to your trauma
it's not torture porn because it doesn't shy away from conveying a sliver of what your character would actually feel in the moment, instead of abstracting pain into a stat window. there are very few games that do this well, and this one is the best

That's a lot of words I'm not gonna read

>>530925882
It looks like ass. All these systems you describe sound cool, but then every webm of this game is about a ragdoll falling down a chasm, and you can't see shit because of the filters on the screen, and at some point the person playing will inevitably have to pause to fiddle with a cumbersome drag and drop inventory.

>it's not torture porn because
>it doesn't shy away from conveying a sliver of what your character would actually feel in the moment, instead of abstracting pain into a stat window. there are very few games that do this well, and this one is the best
It seems like you just described why the game is the best torture porn you've ever seen, so I don't really understand how this follows.

>>530928275
It feels like Cortex Command.

>>530928275
>It looks like ass.
it looks acceptable for what it does. the biggest filter on the screen is from a permament injury - 3/4 fov limit after losing an eye. darkness is a gameplay element, knowing when, where and how to get good light source is a multi-faceted skill.
>cumbersome drag and drop inventory
there are alot of QoL features, and inventory managent is also one of the core identities of the game. different containers have different stats, can be carried in different slots, reduce encumberance by different amounts - it's a careful act of keeping the most important stuff like medicine, bandages and emergency food on yourself where you can always easily find it (like leg pouches or pockets), spread your load in order to make sure you won't lose everything if it breaks/you drop it, and sort it in a way that minimizes encumberance. game allow for quick container-to-container item transfer, directly dragging items into health panel, using/crafting/stacking items on the floor without need to pick them up and others. i've posed another webm of suboptimally healing myself after exploding on a landmine, and took less than a minute of UI manipulation. for something as complex as removing a dozen of afflictions and applying different kinds of drugs in dosages - that's pretty quick.
>It seems like you just described why the game is the best torture porn you've ever seen, so I don't really understand how this follows.
i define "tortue porn" as a game where you specifically make characters suffer for your enjoyment. people sandbox, mutilate the ragdoll, just mowing down NPCs in gmod with brutal addons - that's torture porn.
when character suffers here - it directly transfers to your audiovisual suffering. that's both a bold and innovative design choice, and i dig it a lot. last stand is literally second life (which is very powerful) can only be achieved if you keep protag in high spirits by treating them well. it literally encourages you to act humane.

>>530929097
The way the character moves does remind me of Cortex Command.
From what I remember, though, movement in Cortex Command felt awful.

>>530929342
>i've posed another webm of suboptimally healing myself after exploding on a landmine, and took less than a minute of UI manipulation. for something as complex as removing a dozen of afflictions and applying different kinds of drugs in dosages - that's pretty quick.
In a normal game, healing yourself is a separate keybind. One button. That's not really a fair comparison of course, since normal games don't try to simulate applying different kinds of drugs in dosages, but then I'm not sure what would be.
If sixty seconds is "quick", what would be slow? Surgeon simulator? Space Station 13?

>i define "tortue porn" as a game where you specifically make characters suffer for your enjoyment.
That's like saying that Degrees of Lewdity isn't a porn game, because you're the one being raped instead of raping others.
>when character suffers here - it directly transfers to your audiovisual suffering. that's both a bold and innovative design choice, and i dig it a lot.
That's like saying that Degrees of Lewdity would even less of a porn game if you could actually feel your hymen tearing in real life instead of reading a text description.

>>530931927
>Space Station 13
eactly
game is directly inspired by it
also, any survival game with more medical depth than a puddle. take cdda for example, healing severe injuries requires in-game weeks of downtime, which can easily translate into multiple hours of effort if you account for transportation, recovery activities and other tangent, but important things.
>torture porn
can you please justify the existence of mechanics that aid you if you treat your character well (last stand) and punish you and make game more difficult in a multitude of ways if you make them depressed?
goal in DoL is porn. it's the fact of being raped. there's no other appeal, it was only made with porn in mind, and all it's mechanics are centered around porn. nearly everything you do leads to porn.
goal of scav is survival. you can descend literal kilometers deep and never get hurt. suffering is a direct result of you failing to survive. only things that would be logically horrible for your character lead to suffering.
do you still not see the difference?

>>530931927
Nta, but

>pulls out obscure terrible-by-design porn game where you get raped to use as an argument why Scav sucks
Are you fucking serious? That's the best you can come up with?

Can we get one fucking thread without the scav torture porn argument?

Needs some (now canon) hugs.

>>530932456
>take cdda for example, healing severe injuries requires in-game weeks of downtime
The part where you apply medication is still like six keystrokes. Like, if you mean that healing after a landmine required pressing two buttons and then waiting for a minute, I'll agree that's quite streamlined and user friendly, but that's not the impression I got from your description.
I have never seen anyone call the SS13 user interface good, not even once. If that's what scav game is trying to emulate, I don't understand what you're fucking expecting.

>can you please justify the existence of mechanics that aid you if you treat your character well (last stand) and punish you and make game more difficult in a multitude of ways if you make them depressed?
DoL has that too, I think it's kind of a staple in games like these.
>goal in DoL is porn. it's the fact of being raped. there's no other appeal
>goal of scav is survival. you can descend literal kilometers deep and never get hurt.
You can survive indefinitely in DoL and remain a virgin. There's two whole transformations locked behind it, actually. You need to be (at least technically) a virgin to become an angel, and you need to be an angel to become a fallen angel.
Saying that the game has no appeal if played this game is subjective, but I don't personally think that's true. The life simulation elements, going to school, making money, delving into dungeons in search of treasure, these still add up to a functional video game without any of the sexual elements. Certainly a less deep one, like an RPG with all the combat removed, but then I don't think your scav game would be quite as deep if you cut out all the pain and violence.

>>530933221
I'm using it as an argument for why Anon is wrong. Whether Scav sucks is really a separate issue.

>>530936197
Wrong? About what? About how the game where you're meant to avoid suffering is guro actually?

And don't give me "but muh smut gane isn't actually all smut!" bullshit, I've played degenerate games too enough to know they're all meant for a fap, whether or not you take time to earn it is just delaying that fact, it's not that deep

This whole "Scav is fetishistic" argument is retarded, just post something else pls

>>530936701

>>530936701
>About what?
His definition of what a porn game is. Here >>530929342 he writes that
>i define "tortue porn" as a game where you specifically make characters suffer for your enjoyment. people sandbox, mutilate the ragdoll, just mowing down NPCs in gmod with brutal addons - that's torture porn.
He's focusing on player agency in perpetrating the torture, rather than the tone with which the torture is handled, and (perhaps intentionally) missing the fact that everything that happens in a video game ultimately exists for the player's enjoyment.
Degrees of Lewdity is the first counterexample that came to mind. It's clearly and unequivocally a porn game, but the player character is almost always in a passive role. You're not fucking, you're getting fucked, at least supposedly against your will. Even in consensual sex encounters, you have very little control.
But obviously, even though your character is getting traumatized by events outside her control, you the player are choosing to play this of your own free will. The game was made so you could watch a child get raped, and its world is built to facilitate the rape.

So how is the design behind Scav Game any different? The game developers deliberately made the game generate a chasm filled with traps and unstable footing, so your character can get hurt, and much effort was clearly spent on conveying the this suffering to the player. Anon has repeatedly mentioned how well the game accomplishes this, using audio and visual cues to show the pain rather than merely describing it.
I haven't played the game, so I don't know if it really fetishizes the pain as much as Anon makes it seem, but Anon's descriptions are similar to what someone would write for a porn game they enjoy. It's clearly porn for him, even if that wouldn't be the case for everyone.

post games with SHOPLIFTING! for SHOPLIFTING! fetishists

the guro shit is not as bad as you fags make it to be, though the gore is still disgusting sometimes, I could deal with less intestines flying around

>>530942075
I guessed that from the start, that one anon who's been crying is way too obsessed with guro to the point that all his claims sounded less than credible.

>>530944742
Its just one dude who's always clutching pearls about whatever game he see talked of, basically any low-hanging fruit he come across. I know its a single dude because his writing style stay the same no matter what is the game fans he is trying to bait reaction from. Lately he seem to be fixated on scav and citadel.

Imma be honest, I'm not a fan of how the bases look so far. I preferred the cramped feeling that Subnautica bases gave you. Also (at least in the trailer) they don't have hatches anymore and instead you just swim in and out through some whacky forcefield.
I get it from a QoL perspective, but something about that just feels lame.

>>530816042
hehe
I'm not quite sure what to get for salvaging to be honest. I have this oldtimer that I've gotten from an event, where you find a centuries old ghost ship where apparently the pilot just had a heart attack and the auto pilot has been keeping it in a stable orbit ever since. And thematically it would be funny to refurbish it, but I'm not sure yet. I'll just save up some cash for now

>>530891512
SNK isnt like his other stuff. its mostly space fights and yapping.

>>530946532
Do not buy subnautica 2, the devs are being cheated out of a deal by the company who brought them and they (the owners, not the dev) are postponing the release to 2026 just to dodge on their financial promises (when they were brought, the dev got told they'd be getting a 250m bonus if they released in 2025, and recently a lot of higher ups were laid off and they're suing them). Basically a shitshow is brewing, so who know how that will affect the game.

>>530946926
That one has no high-stress hardpoint. Your options are basically one of the TNTRL variants or the Vulture Prospector. The Vulture Prospector has better RCS thruster placement, but it's more expensive and constantly drains your crew morale, so you need to compensate for that somehow.
If you want to get weird, there's the OCP-209. It looks very strange and I've never tried it, but it mounts two arms. And then of course there's the Model E, the main drawbacks of which are that it's outrageously expensive and costs extra to repair.

>>530950772
Yeah, I'm aware of that clusterfuck. Though to be honest, even before the drama I didn't plan to buy the game until it was in or close to 1.0. Not to mention how skeptical I am of it in general. With both Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero existing in the same franchise I'm really hoping that the parts that were great about the first game where great because the devs knew what they were doing not just some freak coincidence caused by limited rescources
>>530951382
A shit, I didn't even notice.
Funny you mentioned the OCP. I've just taken a look at that at the dealer and honestly I think it's growing on me. Maybe that will be the first ship I buy

If you have too much trouble I would recommend the fork or at least a bladed weapon, blunt weapons are mostly ineffective in half sword.

I want to get better at the game and at the boss specifically.

>>530963926
>blunt weapons are mostly ineffective in half sword.
Shit game
Blunt and halfblunts are so effective against armor that people used their swords as pummels

>>530973557
Using a short blunt weapon to beat a greatsword wielded by an unnaturally tall person requires a lot of luck no matter how good you are.

>>530973830
Not if both are armorclad

>>530973983
Your opponents are regularly effectively naked as far as armor goes until arena 6 and you don't see anything close to full body armor until arena 7.

Milky sounds more cooler than Expie.

frankly, with no CRPG gen this is probably the place that fits the most.

Any chads here who played .hack/GU? I wanted to play it again cause i am wanting to go through all the games to finally enjoy the story but i remember how absolutely fucking piss easy boring GU gets if you dare do sidequests. Wondering if there is any mods to put on some sort of scaling?

>>530935745
nta but the game is clearly not a torture porn (or at least not designed as one) by the simple fact it's a difficult real time roguelike
unlike most if not all porn game like DoL you can't "enjoy" the suffering because you are usually losing blood and thus on a timer, you don't feel aroused, you feel panic, even real time porn games usually stop the game to actually give you the chance to actually jack off (the game purpose)
A guro fan would have trouble jacking off to this game since the worse traps and dangers are deeper down and you need to spend some time playing properly and avoiding getting hurt (both to save med supplies and keeping morale high) and when you do get seriously hurt you are just gonna die if you jack off instead of healing and since the game is decently hard dying is frustating and thus disincentivized both emotionally (seeing innocent animal thing dying painfully) and mechanically(i just threw away a good chunk of time to get here and now i need to do it all over again)
This would be an idiotic design for a torture porn game

The game looks interesting, but I don't have any hope that this guys don't think early access is a viable way to fund your game.

OP here, I finally figured out how to get decent .webm's, and it's called converting .mp4's and not trying to record webm's directly like a spaz.

Seriously, I had almost had a fucking aneurism trying to figure out ShareX and OBS and FFmpeg and shit, fucking >>530917062 told me to just record in .mkv, though I used a .mp4 I had laying around.

I had to install 3 dif programs and used Google Gemini for guidance but I now I should be able to make decent .webms if I have to take over the OP. First time using a LLM too, made sure to tell it thank you just to make sure I wasted Google's money.

Also, for even bigger bucks you can acquire L/XL ships and sell them off for a quick cash boost.
It does require a starting investment, so you're better off doing this after you have a bunch of miners going around.
Buy yourself a Shuyaku Vanguard (sold by either ARG or ANT, I forgot which one), fill it with marines at the VIG station (they're higher level compared to other races), go find yourself a ship to capture. Construction ships are usually the best, they sell for 10M+ and generally don't have a gorillion trained marines aboard.
Normally, you'd incur relationship penalties if you attack a ship, but there's a way to avoid that. Set yourself at about 80km away from the target, turn off you turrets (if any) and spin up your travel drive. You'll want to basically graze your target as you pass under it. Just as you're passing by, immediately pause the game and start a boarding operation. Set it to max defenses and hull so you don't need to actually weaken your target and thus incur penalties. Set your pilot to run around the sector or whatever, just make sure it stays the fuck away from your boarding target. Go fuck around for half an hour or so and wait for the operation to succeed.
Buy a second Shuyaku and park it at the VIG shipyard so you can buy->teleport crew instead of having to run around half the universe. Congratulations, you're rich!
Also note that you can, like, also steal an Asgard or six and completely break the game if you feel like it, though those might require multiple boarding attempts.

Why fps games have so many redundant weapons?

>>531068105
Automatic rifles and SMGs in first person shooters usually fill different roles.

>>531068105
what >>531068827 said. Ans also I think some games just want to be "realistic" and add a bunch of weapons that exist in real life with most of them just being the same weapon just with slightly different stats and a different model

>>531068105
>Why fps games have so many redundant weapons?
They are only redundant when they share the same boolit.

>>531059342
skill issue

>>531068827
I know, but in practice, these games also give you other types of guns for different roles, such as shotguns, sniper rifles, grenades and pretty much every game nowadays has alternate firing modes for every weapon, giving the guns yet more versatility and yet more options to the player. There is only so much variation to encounters and these fast firing weapons end up being almost equally viable in the same situations.

I think I would prefer to have something more gimmick in these slots. Same with games that give you mutliple shotguns.

still going with my 8 hour run, visiting desert for the third time now
level transition floor is actually a solid block with okay sleep quality, meaning that if you're close to the next next layer you can just push to the very bottom and not worry about a sleeping spot if tired

>>531075351
Gun variation is down to how lazy the dev is in simulating a gun's stats and damage model. Otherwise it's just
>shoots but faster
>shoots but slower and does more damage
>shoots like a shotgun
When you play games like Arma or Insurgency you really learn that all guns are not the same.

>>531075351
If a game is modeling pistol caliber SMGs in such a way that they perform equally in most situations to rifles then they are modeling their weapons very inaccurately or in a very low resolution way.

>>531075871
a big part of it is the realistic engagement ranges
it's difficult to differentiate weapons in close quarters since it's more about who shoots first

>>531075871
So, very niche types of games focused on realism. Most fps games are not like that.

>>531076335
>a big part of it is the realistic engagement ranges
But this is vidya. And we have a bazillion(mostly from Ubishit) open world maps, in which the engagement ranges can be pushed to a kilometers.

>>531076382
See above.

>>531076502
stopping to scan the horizon with binoculars so you don't get popped from a mile by aimbots isn't really the kind of fun ubislop wants

>>531076335
SMGs also tend to be shit against most body armor, similarly they penetrate cover poorly.
SMGs and their ammunition will be lighter and more compact, making them more maneuverable and faster to reload.
SMGs' light ammunition tends to give them low recoil compared to rifles, this lighter ammunition is also often represented as lower damage per bullet and provides a higher total ammunition capacity.
SMGs are more often allowed to be used in one hand than rifles in less grounded games.

>>531076636
Nta but your post made me recall mgs5 with infinite heaven mod and it made me want to play again. I guess im a masochist who like crawling in sand for ages as to not get seen by eagle eyed soviets, with no time slowdown if discovered.

>>531076502
>in which the engagement ranges can be pushed to a kilometers.
Not every shooter is like that, maybe about half have engagements that will happen at long ranges like that, but most of the time its close to medium range
also
>it's difficult to differentiate weapons in close quarters since it's more about who shoots first
Again, not always the case, a insta kill shotgun will win vs an rifleman who shots first in most shooter's barring milsim ones, and even in that it'd depend on the riflemans aim, an SMG would likely win vs the rifle too, but it depends

Gun variation in shooter's isn't just stats, it's often about feel or looks too, even how it sounds. Maybe you like the way one gun looks and feels even though it's stats are very similar to another, you'd do better with the gun you like more because you'd enjoy using it more.

Still remember the Remington in BLOPs 2 being OP as fuck with it being able to 1 tap halfway across a map, but I preferred using the KSG, the slug shotgun, because it felt better to use and more consistent, like a snappier sniper to be used at close and mid range. Ended up getting diamond camo for shotguns but I still preferred the KSG.

>>530942075
It's not the gore that bothers me, it's the knowledge that the dev masturbates to women suffering.

>>531059342
Unironically a skill issue. You can reduce the RNG element to irrelevant levels with skill and knowledge, you can reduce it to basically nothing with time and permanent upgrades.

>>531075368
You could always use the drills to skip a layer.

>>531090001
what's fun about skipping 2 hardest regions in a game that exists purely to challenge me. just looping deeper gravel lands to deeper gravel lands indefinitely is a pussy mode, that region is literally a tutorial layer

the bad parts
>unrewarding exploration, the game doesn't have enough new objects and rewards to stay engaging.

It's good from the start, it's good in the middle as long as you don't let yourself get hung up on the Gallery puzzle(s) and either leave them until you have more clues or are good at wordplay based puzzles, and it's good in the lategame too.
It does however, require a functioning brain. If you just herpderp place rooms with no goal or strategy in mind then you'll suffer.

Any game that resonates with you on a deep level? For me it's disco elysium.

Found this game in the steam sale.
Spent twenty or so cycles in the Outskirts before I figured out how gates work.
Went up and to the right following the little helper, fuck-ton of lizards and flying cunts.
Went to the right still following the little helper, fuck-ton of stupid monkey men, leeches, and flying cunts still. Bonus grabby bastards.
Went to the right following the helper again, water, water, and more water, and more flying cunts STILL. Cute little robot at the end.
Start going back since there is no more right for me to go to, little helper starts pointing me up. Go to dark place.
Not that bad actually, just some bugs and a few lizards. Little helper tries to send me to my death, fucking seaweed.
Keep exploring until I find another gate. Metal area with lizards and some flying cunts.
Open map. I've been here? This is the first area I went to. Decide I've explored enough of "right" and go back to the Outskirts.
I feel like I just came back from a campaign in a foreign land and forgot what my own home looks like.

there are just less people here actually passionate about games they play
egg has a ton of factorio autists that constantly actually play the game and keep the thread alive, while they don't shy away from talking about other related games because there's a very high chance they've also played them
since lisa general begun dying due to retardifation of the fanbase and loss of popularity, indie has always been spread too thin
if you ask me, there should be a split for every major kind of indie game where people who currently play they can speak and find others, i am certain that if this site's pop wouldn't have been so ass and /vg/ wouldn't have had reputation similar to /v/, generals for pixel depression games, racing arcades and things like that would've had a pretty good chance of survival

>>531145084
I meant better when it comes to shitpost, at least I don't see them calling each other slurs and trying to make other people mad.

I remember Risk of Rain 2 going through some controversy when Gearbox took over publishing, how's it nowadays? It's been on my radar for ages upon ages now but I've always stopped myself from taking the plunge.

Think it's cause I was never a huge fan of most rougelikes, but it doesn't look like another samey 2d pixel art or isometric rougelike, maybe it's cause it's low poly and 3d. More popular then most games discussed here so maybe that lends credit to it being decent.

>>531182773
never played it, looks promising
is it actually deep or just a shitty hacking sim? i always wanted to get into grey hack, but actual hacking is mostly just boring social engineering and snooping while exploiting network systems, and i fucking hate networks as a field of it

>>531190440
Went further down the shitter because Take2 tos recent changes basically mean you barely own your own games and any modification or modding of files is unauthorized, regardless of wether or not the game had a modding scene beforehand.

This is due to the acquirement of Gearbox by Take Two last year. New tos went live sonewhat recently. So just pirate, iirc original devs arent even a thing anymore.

>>531190440
It's fun with friends(tm)
The last DLC was absolute garbage, but they painstakingly reworked the whole thing over the course of like half year and now it's actually fun to play. I feel like the interactions between items aren't overly complex, so there are very few builds I would call "interesting" but you can still have some fun with numbers going up and some broken item combos.
I'm with you of not being a fan of "rougelikes" and I still get plenty of enjoyment out of it every now and then

I managed to end up in fucking pipeyard when I first played rain world like a year ago

God damn Songs of Syx is so good, if only it had the content/events that rimworld and DF have.

>>531226213
Yeah, I enjoyed that game a lot. Unfortunately I always hit a wall somewhere around the 300-400 population mark where I just couldn't progress where I needed every single worker just to meet demand of whatever I needed, with nobody left to start any new production chains (at least on the patch where I played)
Also had to play on easy mode like a coward, because I could never manage to get an army up in time and the first raid pushed my shit in every single time

>>531229498
Nice neighborhood, this is the farthest I've gotten so far. I just can't keep the pop going at a steady pace, I also need steel to make any sort of progress but can't afford it/can't mine it because I have no pop lmao. Not sure how long early/mid game is supposed to take.

But I'm probably gonna start DF soon, SoS is fun for mega cities though.

>>531230064
Thanks, I try to make my settlements look as organic as possible, even though I'm afraid that comes at the cost of some efficiency in terms of how fast people can get to their jobs
I do appreciate how the game has systems to encourage you to build realistic building shapes with supports and all that though.
>I also need steel to make any sort of progress
Yeah that was often the point where I failed either at or shortly after. In older patches like half of your production buildings required it, I believe. From what I recall now you can at least build worse versions of the buildings without it. I think in one of the devlogs the dev said that unfortunately he has very little time to actually play the game, so at some point he wants to do a huge balancing pass, no idea if that already happened.

>>531215432
Yeah. Dunno how it's called, but it's peak.

Looks good. How does it compare to Dwarf Fortress?
I'd have said Towns or Gnomoria since I actually played them but I don't wanna be called an useless spider again.

>>531244017
I think DF and Rimworld are closer together than SoS. SoS is more of a city builder/management game where you don't care if some of your people die. DF/RW are more personalized right? I have little playtime in them.

I put 8 hours into the demo. The demo is just 1 patch behind and only 1 race.

>>531244376
>>531244017
A city builder with combat btw. You can conquer the entire map if you want.

>>531229498
the most success I had with this game was focusing only in the things that my race is good at and then trading excess for everything else.

I once made a lizard city for example, where I mostly made shitloads of fish I didn't need and fish was my main export and currency (currency that spoils quickly, lmao) to buy things from other settlements, such as medicine, furniture, iron, wood, other types of food, then I started buying slave pigs to farm and so on.

I never went much farther than a thousand population mark in this game, though, because at that point, I am just bored of my cities.

I simply love the ost of this game, but gameplay itself, its a little boring after while.

>>531244376
Dwarf fortress gets to population counts of around 200(and that's if you don't raise the pop cap in the txt file), keeping track of a couple hundred dwarves isn't really practical, and unless they have a really important job where high experience is essential they don't really matter as individuals.
You might know the names of your best smiths, but miners, coal makers, soldiers, they come and go often.
>>531244017
Gnomoria is just a bare isometric skeleton of dwarf fortress. It's not unenjoyable but it's nowhere close to the state it should have finished development in, it's abaondonware.

>>531137085
Shadow of the Colossus, ever since I played it as a kid on the ps2, I've been craving similar vibes of being dwarfed by eldritch architecture, which transformed into a love for anything involving megastructures and seemingly unrealistic architecture. I like feeling like an ant trying to understand a skyscraper from the ground level.

>>531245484
Still better than Towns.

>>531251579
it has only ever happened with like three UE5 games made in the past few years

Wonder what happened to Skylanders and its ilk. If anyone even plays them anymore or if they're just pieces of plastic collecting dust.

choo choo!

This and Gloomhaven are seriously fighting against my "no EA games" rule

>>531278414
It's not like EA is making these stabby-stab games. Please play Marie's game :(

>>531250321
You need to stop updating the drivers. It's all indian performance now.
560.94 is stable.

In the german version of rune factory, Mist is called Tau because Mist means manure in german.

>>531288567
>In the german version, the language is german

>>531289453
In the french version of ocarina of time, the deku tree is called arbre mojo because deku sounds like "of asses" in french.

>UE5
Found your problem.
All UE5 games I play run like utter shit.

like sleep like death, /indie/

>>531244017
I've never played DF myself, but from the looks of it, it's a more focused game compared to SoS. Like the other anon said in SoS you want to build a city with multiple thousands of citizens and manage your supply chains instead of caring about individual dudes.
It even has a province map where you can do some Grand Strategy stuff...if the dev implemented it yet.
>>531244770
>focusing only in the things that my race is good at and then trading excess for everything else
I've always wanted to build a dwarf city that's trading in metals and rare stones, but unfortunately I've never got a big enough production to make it work.

>>531304115
Which also reminds me about how, at least when I played, the citizens sometimes struggled with finding the closest job to their home/ picking the closest home to their job.
I built a farm on the outskirts of town with enough houses to house all the farmers but for some reason some of the farmers preferred to live somewhere completely different and some dude with a job inside the town lived in the farmhouse

Fun game, my only problem is for some reason the usual Steam screenshot key (F12) does fuck all and I'm having to take screenshots the ghetto manual way.

>>531304935
It's kind of like a dice based Balatro but less flashy, runs are about 10 to 30 min each.

Chains are a meme, Rex is a fucking nigger.

>>531304935
How is the artwork so inconsistent? Is it AI, or did the devs combine like 4 different free use asset packs?

>>531307912
That round was a pain in the ass, at least for the Ninja.

>>531311883
The game predates common AI art use, it could definitely do with the graphics being tinkered with at the very least but eh, it's $5 I'm not gonna complain too hard.

>>531313620
Combo dice sounds interesting, one of the main problems I've been having with buying new dice is I don't want to lose my old faces. Might be able to pull off something with this where I have one super dice face with tons of modifiers and make the other faces unrollable so I'm guaranteed to get it every time, but I'm also probably thinking far too big there and that'd be impossible to pull off. It's a neat thought though.

>>531314017
So far, the Necromancer is the most interesting to play mechanically, and the ugliest to look at animated / in general. Ew.

Dunno what game to play. I'm this close to buying No Man's Sky once again, but there's just this part of me that knows I will grow bored with it within hours

>>531330663
do it but play the non-ruined version
nomansskyretro.com

>>531330785
You mean, the old shitty versions that earned the game a bad reputation? The old shitty versions with no content and half the promised features missing?

>>531320512
There's some trick to this I'm not yet getting, I can't win later scenarios without getting my ass kicked as the enemies bring out abilities that are too strong for me to deal with and I feel like I'm barely ticking them with my crappy attacks.

>>531330785
>non-ruined
what did they do?
From what I've understood the game was barely playable before a bunch of content patches fixed most of the issues that aren't inherent to the core design of the game

>>531331854
No idea what he's sperging about.
NMS is one of the few games that keeps getting DLCs worth of free new content regularly.
I guess he finds some of the new content disagreeable but I can't even imagine what flared his 'tism.

>>531331330
The old versions that adhere to a fixed vision of what a walking simulator in space should be, instead of piling on 300000 features in some misguided attempt to be shitty minecraft while they keep making the terrain gen worse and worse.

Try it before you knock it. It really is night and day.

>>531331854
adding stuff to perfection doesn't make it better
the main thing is they fucked up the terrain gen something fierce, and made exploration extremely boring as a result, so all they have left is shitty crafting mechanics

the old version had less mechanics that were more finely tuned, in a far more varied and interesting universe, and the flatscreen immersion hadn't been sacrificed at the altar of VR yet either

the old version lets you figure things out on your own while the new version leads you by the nose in a 5+ hour unskippable tutorial

there's plenty of articles and posts about why it's superior I don't really care to repeat all of it here, learn to google

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/10VOl1dWlwC-uBguaGzW4iGHuN0e0Af4Zp0PvexKL51Q/htmlview#
Just posting the spreadsheet for all the cards in Cross Blitz here instead of it being locked away in Discord. Recent update added all the roguelite mode characters, only thing left is the last story mode character.

>>531332289
>Try it before you knock it. It really is night and day.
I preordered the game. You're right it was different back then. It was shit.
I returned only years later when it was actually finished.

The only thing I miss from the early days is separate servers for PC players and console peasants. Game at least needs an option to filter console-made bases, stuff built without mods is never worth seeing.

>>531332606
I guess I'm with you that bloat can ruin a more tightly designed game and the 5h tutorial sounds lame as fuck.
But on the other hand my main problem that has prevented me from buying the game so far is that I'm not too interested in the million billion planets and am much more drawn to all the other shit that there is to do and to my understanding there just wasn't a lot of that in the original game

>>531338631
the game loop is simply and genius, you explore so that you can keep exploring, it's a self motivating engine of exploration
nu-nms is just shitty minecraft with boring flat planets

>>531331774
Of all the classes I thought I'd have a hard time understanding, Barbarian wasn't even in my top five. I'm hitting much harder than I should sometimes and I don't really get why, I'm probably just being dumb but I'm doing something really right and I don't know what.

>>531343365
>Get on my fucking knees and beg the game to give be a single Splash Attack (the little axe) roll
>Don't get any in nine rolls
>Get all three of them on my final turn when it no longer matters
FUCK YOU

Nobody in this bitch likes Dead Cells?

I live, again.

>>531341493
>you explore so that you can keep exploring
yeah, me personally, I'm just not too motivated to explore a randomly generated world, you know?
I definitely dig the intrinsically motivated exploration that I experienced in games like Subnautica or Outer Wilds, but I think that something in my monkey brain flips if it's not a handcrafted world and it makes the exploration feel like "filler"

>>531348742
it's alright.

>>531349838
aedemphia?

>>531351009
Yes. Soon arriving to completion (for real this time)

>>531352823
is it FR only?
I just found out about it.

>>531352943
For now sadly yes. An english localization will probably happen at some point, but it will take time as the content is massive.

>>531353272
I'll keep my ears open for any word of a TL down the line.

Speaking of massive rpgm games. I have you played Wooden Ocean?

>>531353492
Heard about it but never played.

>>531353629
I highly recommend it. Going off the aedemphia website, and some old videos, it seems like its aedemphia's english cousin. Massive rpgm project by 1 guy for the last 10 years. Most poeple get 100+hrs out of it.

>>531353928
Interesting. I'm not really in the mood for RM games at the moment (still gotta finish Hat World and maybe Ruina) but I'll have to give it a try.

3km deep, lost all my stuff in the most retarded way possible - off-screen stalactite landed on my head the moment i pressed the continue button. could've reacted faster or scouted the area better, so two of my toolboxes filled to the brim with loot are gone.
webm is carapace saving my life from rifle round to the chest. that's why i prefer handheld containers - to free up slots for body protection, it always works.

>>531348742
I didn't particularly like it

>>531354881
would you recommend hat world?

>>531358189
Yes. Exploration is fun, combats are fun, plenty content including several optionnal bosses that require special strategies.Writing and characters feel like a weird blend of Touhou and Madoka. Each character tells its own story. I only finished one but it clearly needs all of them for the story to come to a close, and I don't think it should take long because the NG+ let's you borrow items and characters from your previous playthroughs.

>>531359296
Cool. Got it downloaded.

what're the best of these asset flip business running simulators
gas station simulator seems to have alright reviews for the 'genre' (if you can call it that)

nyooo

>>531345872
Moon dice now my new fave, at least until they inevitably fuck me over or something. Demonologist seems pretty interesting, was a bit surprised I hadn't seen a character with trap synergy yet.

>>531284154
no EA as in early access, I couldn't give a flying fuck what Electronic Arts is producing

>>531384049
Is this what actually building a camera looks like IRL?

I have started and restarted worlds in Aska so many times over the past week it's retarded. As soon as I get to the point where I have to start automating shit I somehow go all poo-brained and can't make anything work smoothly. Either there's a horrible mess of scattered around from the woodcutters, the stonecutter keeps bitching at me about storage being full even though I really have no real use for stone most of the time, and 5 people can on shit so much and the farmers should shut the hell up about compost.

Since I started playing The Citadel I have an itch to start my own Doom IWAD and this, of course, will lead to nothing, like all my creative impulses, because I have no skills or discipline.

>>531385640
This a you problem, game problem, or a little of both? Aska looks pretty decent from the screenshots I've seen of it, looks almost like viking Sengoku Dynasty

>>531386198
Sadly too relatable.
I have at least 4 different games I'm working on.
