>What the heck is this
/indie/ is the general for all indie games, such as A Hat in Time, Animal Well, Baba Is You, Balatro, Battle Brothers, Cave Story, Celeste, CrossCode, Cultist Simulator, Darkest Dungeon, Darkwood, Dead Cells, Disco Elysium, Environmental Station Alpha, FTL, Hades, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hotline Miami, LISA, Lobotomy Corp, Loop Hero, Machinarium, Monster Train, Noita, Nuclear Throne, OFF, OneShot, Rain World, Shovel Knight, Slay the Spire, Starsector, Subnautica, Sunless Skies, The Witness, Void Stranger, etc., as well as other games that just don't fit in any other general such as Atelier, Pillars of Eternity, 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.

>shit like the walking dead, and Final fantasy, Metal Gear, they were already more accepted as "story" games. And people were ready to just accept what happens in the story.
So why wasn't Spec Ops accepted as a story game? Metal Gear Solid was also a shooter, but it could get away with long scenes of characters lying to you, and tricking you into making the situation worse.
I'd actually posit that Spec Ops is just a bad game. Strip away the twist, and you're left with a painfully generic 2014 shooter where you fight muslims in a desert. If it was otherwise interesting, people would be far more willing to forgive the game tricking them, even if they didn't like that. But Spec Ops only has one trick.

>>545292967
I wanted to like this but I played the demo and the gameplay makes no sense and is janky as shit. I kept trying to get into it until finally one time I died the game over screen didn't appear and Polly just kept getting batted around the screen by enemies for five minutes so I had to AltF4. Maybe if they make a lot of improvements I'll check it out.

Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.

>you never actually played the game, right?
Yeah, you got me. I started it once, but I just didn't find it interesting to play. Hence my criticism, I suppose.
>You dont fight a single muzzie across the entire game
What, are they all Christian and Hindu? How do you tell?

I've finished Neither Cross Nor Crown.
Nice little game, about 5 hours long. The artstyle carries this game hard, especially cause the combat consists of luring enemies into charging you, hitting them and then backing out to lure them into charging again and the plot is very bareboned. I also have no proofs but i think the dev scaled down the whole project because while Level 1 and 2 are quite big and "open" Level 3 and 4 are just going from one side of the map to the other while while killing about 50 enemies.

I spent an entire day playing millennium dawn for HOI4, what do I do to cleanse myself of this sin.

>>545310968
Anon , please...

They're all american soldiers part of a platoon sent to Dubai before your own, in fact the whole reason why you're going there is to interrogate/arrest their commander and figure why they went awol. The civvies killed with the white phosphorus are the exception, most likely arabs given the location.

Every sound effect is in its own RIFF WAVE file and a convenient xml map, but dialog is hidden away in an obscure AKPK .pck archive format not even 7-zip supports.

>>545329838
if the game is on unreal, you can use UnrealPack or to extract .pck files, depending on whether they're encrypted or not.
if they are, you will also have to go through the hassle of manually setting up UE4SS and reverse engineering function signatures via x64dbg to extract it
although, i am not sure the unpacked allows you to compile the files back up, but you can always export it into unreal editor, change it there, and put it back in

>>545330526
It's unityslop

>>545330637
il2cpp or mono? if it's mono, you can use dnspy to find out how the game handles the files, and then either look up an unpacker online or grab the code directly, export it into a solution and stream it directly into a file

>>545309167
>>545329581
I can't believe I wasted my time talking about a harrowing scene and it's effectiveness with a dude who never even played it, fuck me.
But honestly that explains how someone can take a horrific event in a video game, and describe it as: "The game chastises you for doing a thing you had no choice but doing". Anon never played it, he literally just repeated the dumbest negative comment he heard about it on /v/, years ago.

>>545328758
Pretty much. This was one of the big three criticisms that the game received when it came out, and probably the most-deserved one.
The two others being that it was communist propaganda, and that the ending is disappointing since ultimately nothing changes: the CEO is still the same, management is still toxic, and LYNX still makes mad money off you. You just lost the debt. But writing in general in this game is pretty bad, like, your temporary overseer turns off a coworker's thrusters as she's drifting into the incinerator, and he still bitches that she sucks at yoga.

>>545328945
Still better than EYE where all the lore is literally "read 6 different books in the same room".

Alright so.
I need to sneak IN there to purge the fuel from the pipes. If I don't, it'll burst into flames as soon as I cut them, and it'll blow up.
How do I fucking get in there, there's no hatch.

>>545330895
Mono. Was considering zeroing out the audio data, but it might be easier to edit the dlls.
I'm digging through the game's HabNarrative classes, but a bit sketchy on the potential problems of publishing a patched .dll
Got any knowledge on BepInEx patches? - some existing nexusmods patch is using that, with some caveats.

>>545333183
Atlas thrusters? You just have to be faster than the fire.

>>545333183
If I recall correctly I think you can take off the side panels.

>>545333482
>>545333443
>>545333183
Oh, yeah guess I was wrong about the taking off the sides. There was one where the trick was having to set it on fire and then making a mad dash to turn the fuel off. Kinda neat actually.
What always annoyed me, was that sometimes there were rooms where the only choice was explosive decompression, and I always lost valuable shit that way.

>>545332138
>>545333183
Curious anon: Are you playing with or without shift timer? Me myself, I always hated time pressure, so the oxygen and fuel reserves are enough "pressure" for me, and I play in "dad mode" with the shift timer off.

>>545331584
>Still better than EYE where all the lore is literally "read 6 different books in the same room".
Different anon who hasn't played the non-EYE game, but EYE's lore dump isn't that bad. It's completely optional in the truest sense of the word, and it's convenient to have it all in one place rather than scattered throughout the game once you've played the game to the point where you actually care to sit down and read it.

>>545333304
yep, actually made a few modloaders with bepin on monomod. it would be easier to simply recompile the assembly-csharp to instantly return the method that's responsible for playing the dialogue sequences or to remove all method calls via symbol analysis.
i've got to wageslave soon but i'll try to help.
to setup a bepin monomod patch, you first have to set up the framework of the correct .net version (just paste it into the game root directory and run it once), publicize game's assembly-csharp, pass that publicized assembly to monomod's runtime detours hook generator, create a plugin template in visual studio, and then add the publicized assembly and hooks to references. the it's just the matter of writing the plugin itself, and it's pretty straightforwards with monomod as you can just hook to any method to get an event which is called every time that method would've been called in-game otherwise, and you have a convenient local delegate that you can call wherever inside of that event which executes the method in it's current state (which, depending on the mod loading order, can mean that you won't be working with the original method if other mods tinker with it too.)
generally, for writing mods that intend only to modify already existing behaviour, you should use ILHooks to directly transpile game's assembly's IL, as it's both cleaner and more performant, but if you don't have any IL knowledge you can just not call orig() method in the hooked event and copy the code directly from dnspy and the modify it.
i have experience with everything i've described here but working without having access to the code is difficult, so i'll try my best.

>>545331584
>your temporary overseer turns off a coworker's thrusters as she's drifting into the incinerator, and he still bitches that she sucks at yoga.
This is not a mistake anon, it's to highleight how that overseer doesn't see you, the worker as humans at all, but just a resource. A resource that he expects a return on. Having one of the workers end up like that, means literally nothing to him, because in his mind an event like that "just reminds everyone to work harder" and she has a spare anyway, so who cares about horrific accidents. He even early on insists that you don't need to learn how to use the explosives properly, because losing a spare life or two is the best teacher in his opinion.
A more valid criticism is while his total disregard for human life is a great criticism of capitalisms total disregard for human life, the fact that you have this "spare" cloning system, muddles it somewhat. Specially if a lot of players don't fact that if you're one of the clones, and you die, you're still just fucking dead, even if another clone with your memories is shat out. That doesn't change the fact that your existence fucking ends.

>>545335951
If you pay attention in the intro, you're already a clone by the time you get to space.

>>545335951
I like how it's handled in heat signature
There teleportation just straight up kills you and creates your exact clone where you want it to. Sometimes multiple times per minute.
Guys who invented them go so socially conditioned to it that it became a social norm where nobody really hangs on to their current lives which led to a general carefree don't-give-a-fuck attitude. You die a dozen times per day, so who cares about any of this shit if your consciousness is here for a day tops?
There are also laws for how to handle failed teleportations where both old body and the new clone both survive. Legally they have 10 minutes to decide who gets to live, and one of them gets a full right to murder the other, but if they both survive for longer than that - clone is treated as a separate person. So people just kinda live with a general idea of who they want to keep alive in case teleporter fails - their new or old selves.

>>545335951
>his total disregard for human life is a great criticism of capitalisms total disregard for human life
Only a genuine socialist would say something so fucking stupid unironically.

>>545336910

>>545326054
Whenever I think of this game, Im pissed that they never did anything with the AI menace and just shifted to the unionist drivel story. You can tell the story was meant to be something else entirely, but then about halfway into the game there is this weird change of tone, its when the new manager or someshit get shoehorned into the story. You know, the living white trash stereotype in space who is also a bootlicker for some reason. Then it turn into unionist drivel.

I dont care, what about the ai damnit!? So much potential thrown out the window.

>>545331584
>by the power of our union we made them forgive our student loa-uhhh corporate debt, capitalism is defeated
Sometimes it seems like this game is mocking unionists.
The character designs of the most prominent non-player protagonist and the main personal antagonist are exactly the people a true believer would use genuinely and derisive opponent would use as a joke.

>>545338445
>they never did anything with the AI menace
You mean LYNX using AI to explore/exploit space outside the jurisdiction of space UN? Which is why you are destroying the AI nodes on "ghost" ships? Destroying evidence.

MORE CATGIRLS FOR THE HAREM

I'm stopping for now.
Unless I can find a way to unlock the menu navigation during a Speech in the code (and hoping it doesn't break anything), the second best bet appears to be changing the SpeechLength struct member of every relevant TriggerableSpeechData MonoBehavior in narrative-dialogue_assets_all_0b7ba947206a69b68af2abc2aec346ed.bundle (undocumented UnityFS 5 format). Which should signal the event system when the sound byte is expected to be over.
The 200MB English(US).pck AKPK appears to be a raw byte archive with nothing but RIFF Wave audio files.
The AudioService class' parameter naming scheme suggests that there is a CSV file of all dialogue, but I could not find any; it's probably configured inside the unity editor itself as a node.

Unrelated,
I didn't see any traces of a ship editor. I suspect BBI have assembled every ship directly in the Unity scene editor.

>>545350859
I have no idea what you are doing but sounds like you should be digging around the game assembly dll code in dnspy instead of browsing assets

>>545363009
I mean, at least you called china nominally communist? That's better than people usually do. Personally, I wouldn't really call china at all. It's a government controlled capitalism. The ruling party calls itself communist, but, I mean, does china *seem* like it is governed by the community?
>inb4 hurr durr not real communism.
Unironically yes, regardless of what you think of communism and if it can work at all, most usually brought up examples of communist countries, may call themselves communist, but usually is not particularly communist at all
>North Korea
Pretty clearly a dictatorship
>Stalins russia
Pretty clearly a dictaroship.
For some reason when something names itself "The peoples democratic republic of the Kongo" everyone instantly clocks that it's a dictatorship, but when a country claims to be communist these days, and it's clearly a dictatorship, everyone goes: "ayup, communism in action".

Anyway that's besides the point, Shipbreaker is a pretty basic but fun critique of capitalism. Nothing ground breaking or new, but fun nontheless.

>>545363662
>clearly a dictatorship
Yes, and? "Communism" refers to an economic system, not a specific form of government. A "Communist dictatorship" is in no way a contradiction, and indeed if you look at any historic examples at all, it's the expected outcome.
>b-b-but this isn't what Marx wanted at all!
A lesson that all political philosophers should keep in mind.

>>545365848
What do you think the "commun" in "communist" stands for anon? It's not about the fact "What marx wanted" it's about the fact that you can't have a society centered about COMMON OWNERSHIP, when said society is lead by a singular dictator. That's for instance why we have the term "Stalinism" because what Stalin did, was not communism, it was it's own thing, under the name of communism. Again: when a country calls itself a democracy, and you know the elections are a sham, you can identify it as a dictatorship. But when a country claims to be communist, yet has nothing communistic about it, and is actually just a dictatorship, that destinction is not made.
"communist dictatorship" is an oxymoron, it's just as nonsensical as "anarchist leader", or "heavily regulated free market", or "isometric first person shooter", "Tasty british food". you can have one or the other, you can't have both.
Anyways, this is not video games any more, even if at some point it had to do with shipbreaker. No point in talking about this more, unless you get back on the topic of vidya.

>>545336910
For me it's Eon, a sci-fi novel by Greg Bear. Mind copying is trivial, though physical bodies are still somewhat expensive. A simulated consciousness doesn't have quite the same legal rights as a corporeal being, but you get something like two free backup clones, more if you have a dangerous job.
>They were surrounded by an intense brightness that went beyond light or heat. Olmy grimaced and grinned at once, relishing the sensation. He had sent partials to die before and had never known what their sensations were like. Now, he would experience it directly — And the original Olmy would still never know.

I read it as a kid. It left me unable to take the philosophical hand wringing around mind copying seriously. If the tech was real, it'd probably just be something you do.

Yes, very clever. You acknowledge your own post as off topic nonsense, thus noting that anyone who replies will also be spouting off topic nonsense, thus getting the last word. Clearly communism was a good idea after all, and not a failed ideology that directly caused the deaths of tens of millions of of people.

>>545326054
>>545327797
Makes me dream for a fictional version of Shipbreaker that's VotV inspired where you can walk around the station and need to manage survival meters between shifts

>>545326054
Funny thing, in a space setting it'd be really easy to justify this by making the living spaces smaller. The communists could be with you in the pod, and there might genuinely not be enough room inside to get away from their speeches. And you couldn't skip it, because they would notice you ignoring them and get angry. If you snap and kill them, you get a non standard game over.
But no, instead of exploring the true terror of space travel, you get a spacious studio apartment with your neighbours only calling you on the intercom, and you can't mute them in-game because you just can't.

>Got bored on realizing my dog could just solo like 90% of the game though
Oh, you're one of those that thought the first few random 'literally whos' that invade you as your reputation rises just to keep you on your toes on the easiest difficulty setting is "90% of the game". That's like getting bored of Mario because you can handle 1-1 by jumping on the Goombas.

Pic related is a harder random encounter. Also a reminder that your dog's attack damage is a complete joke, all he's good for is killing wild animals.

OH N-

>>545412919
I don't actually care at all.
Even slightly.
I put like 40 hours into the game and got bored.
Simple as.

>>545410841
>Got bored on realizing my dog could just solo like 90% of the game though
You definetly didn't play the game.
The dog is ironically, dog shit. Even random turtles can fuck the dog mid to late game.

This is why this place is dead.
Instead of actually posting anything informative, its immediate insults and really retarded claims, throwing away any opportunity to actually have a conversation on the game that's supposedly good.
Just "you're retarded", instantly.

>>545413353
That's fine, I'm just pointing out that your reasoning is terrible, completely and truly.
It's a complex game, they gave you a dog to tank weaker starting enemies (tank, not kill) to give new players breathing space while they're learning how to play. What you did is basically play the tutorial and decide that's 90% of the game. It's not.

>>545413803

>>545413803
While I agree with your sentiment, if someone is effectively dismissing a game before the tutorial is even finished they are likely a lost cause.

>>545414368
the dude had nearly 40 hours in the game
christ its like people who play mmorpgs who see you with 150 hours in the game and theyre like "well the game finally starts in another 5 dungeons"

>>545414483
>the dude had nearly 40 hours in the game
Not the guy you're replying to but that's less than 2% of the game, time wise.

>>545414483
>the dude had nearly 40 hours in the game
NTA but MHW tutorial is like 30 hours. Then you have to unlock the master or whatever level to really unlock the "real" game.
What I mean is that there are games that don't "properly" start until a ridiculous amount of time later.

Original responder guy here,
Just chiming in to say
A: I still don't really care lol, I'm not playing 500 hours of braindead NPC's dying on my dog to get to the good bits
B: I played the game 3 years ago, I dunno how its changed since then (or care)
C: MHW being piss easy early on is also why I dropped that
I work 6 days a week.
I'm not wasting endless time waiting on games to "get good"

>>545414062
I would but XPIratez is a pretty boring game to blogpost about. I only post the vaguely interesting bits.

Oh also chinese games in general are incredibly bad at balancing because they make power fantasies first and foremost, so its hard to believe one actually got it right even if you need to invest 500 hours afk'ing while the dog plays the game to see that

>>545414612
>>545414660
I'm a little bit split on this whole thing. On one hand I think it's perfectly valid to be upset if you don't enjoy a game after a certain amount of time, even if that's just a fraction of the whole playtime, because at some point the question becomes if you shouldn't just invest that time in something better. But on the other some of my favorite games are very slow burn and if someone dismissed them based on first impressions I'd also be quite upset

>>545414831
You are absolutely free to like or dislike any games you like for whatever personal reasons you like, if your brain is rotted so much that you need the mental stimulant version of keys being jangled in front of your face at all times you keep you focused and constant dopamine hits to keep you interested, you probably shouldn't be playing slow management simulation games and then lying about them, you probably should have known before you even got the game that it wasn't for you. Just a thought.

While w'ere talking about chinese games, here's my ranking from what i played

Great:
None of them lol china can't into balance

Okay:
Raksasi: Fun top down roguelite, pretty basic but functional coombat. Bad metaprogression though

Medliochre:
Gunfire:
Infamously too easy. No meaningful randomization. All guns feel meh. DLC chars universally broken. Feels okay to play thougher

Blooty Spell:
Switched genres entirely after release and you can tell. Very simplistic enemy AI. 3D action game. Feels good, is pretty objectively meh


Icey:
Very weird game. Complete failure so much the dev patched in a "whine my game failed" room and ending. Combat is super heard or easy depending on how you build and never feels balanced. Execute mechanic is so jank it doesn't function correctly in two different games (she somehow got in entropy effect like a decade after her irelevant releae)
Carried and also ruined based on how much you like or hate its schizo narrator's rambling and attempts to railroad you

Portia:
Just not for me, its ugly and I'm french so I hate ugluy things
Le bad:
Sands of Salzaar: Action/strategy combo attempt. Both sides are half-baked. Also way too easy. Very little control over your armies makes it easy to just solo everything yourself

Cult story reincarnation:
Also a victim of the "too easy" train. You can do something like 5 billion damage a hit and heal for 1% of that in a game where your hp is in the hundreds. It becomes impossible to die.

Red Obsidian Remnant:
Weird 2D DMC roguelite kind of thing. The "round trip" move trivializes the game.

RainBlood (this has a sequel coming up which looks neat):
"le too easy" strikes again. Your counter moves do 9999 damage baseline. One character teleports directly onto enemies on counter. Also a 2D DMC wannabe.

Da Vagrant:
Just feels like shit to play


Zengeon:
Alpha feeling unfinished mess

Bright memory:
Uninished game resold at a higher price

Love this part.
Also it's a bit of a shame, how this game loses quite a bit of it's mystique when you play it multiple times.

I pirated Overkill's The Walking Dead and had fun

>>545419428
That's true of all games, Anon.
You see beyond the pale in more ways than one on repeat playthroughs.
You know how events work, you understand when to do what to get a certain outcome.
Repetition breeds familiarity.
Familiarity which leads to complacency.
Complacency decays into boredom.
Boredom stokes desire.
Desire turns into exploration.
Explorations become realization.
Realization shifts towards repetition.

I think here it hits especially hard, because it's one of those rare games where you want to throw away all your preconceived notions of what video games are and enjoy it in a sort of vacuum.
Also there was something special about the first detective I've played. He was the only one I knew. His relationship with Kim was unique and my struggle to get him out of his mess of a life felt so real. It doesn't quite hit the same on subsequent runs

Anybody heard of Trail of Gods or played it?

I found it interesting, but there is literally nothing out there for it, I had to dig for this single gameplay vid I found
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMLRHmQGXuw

The thing I found weird is that somehow the trailer has 200k views on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8J-qpw9U-8) with almost no engagement and with the absolute nothing out there that I mentioned. I'm not sure if this is because google showing it on their store or something, I just found it weird the small amount of downloads and lack of anything for such large numbers.
Google has been ass with me about refunds past the initial 2h or whatever it was where the refund button is available, so I'd be screwed if I don't like it.

how
CDDA pacing is you find a cure for bite, kill everything near by, drag all the shit into a basement and fap for 15 days straight on your pile of candies and dildos
Zomboid pacing is you do more or less the same thing except slower and worse and you watch tv

You don't sit around in a room fapping in that game. Ever. At all. Its pacing is not remotely similar to either game

>>545451629
it's exactly that but faster. very long periods of downtime (crafting, peaceful exploration, trading) broken by extreme action and sudden action. you can easily spend multiple hours on a single layer and don't get into a dangerous situation ever.
>You don't sit around in a room fapping in that game. Ever.
that's just not true

Wrong

>>545452586
dude, i've put over 100 hours into scav
i know what i am talking about, 90% of the game looks like webm
it's a very specific kind of experience that's much closer to slow-burning roguelikes than to hectic games like noita or spelunky

>>545451629
>You don't sit around in a room fapping in that game. Ever.

>>545453479

and that game does look like noita, even if the similarities stop there

>>545453649
>most of high level noita
ftfy
if you don't do orb/challenge runs and just focus on going through the mountain it's quite moderately paced
on average, scav is much slower than noita. i've played both

It's lore is good and Expie a cute.

Well that could've gone better. Especially since an armored car was trapped in a terrain shitbox where LoS was completely fucked and nothing could actually target it, bullet or grenade, despite being able to see it, so I had to debug kill it. That was 20 turns wasted.
I fucking hate the industrial tileset. One of the buggiest in the game.

This looks fucking terrible. The point of a charging bull is not that they pick out one guy and then stand in front of them to swing at them. The point of a charging bull is that they tear through enemy lines like a bowling ball knocking down pins. Ignore everything else, just blast headfirst through enemy lines, disrupting them, fucking them up.

I remember one thing that annoyed me in Medieval Dynasty was that you didn't have any sort of production overview screen.
I wanted to make Village self sufficient without having to constantly micro manage what each building is producing, but apparently that's not the devs vision of the game.
Can't even quite remember what my issue was, now that I think about it. I think it had something to do with how difficult it was to calculate, how much tool production you need to meet your demand

If you tried to sell me a gritty realistic shooter but the characters are literal clowns in full makeup and costume I would not be able to take it seriously. Same for chibi furries.

>>545517245
well, it's your predisposition that you see them specifically only for the "cute" themes, while really it's just an aesthetic that can be applied to any kind of a narrative.
and your clown analogy isn't exactly correct. clown is a specially constructed, loaded image that you expect to see in a specific context and exists with a defined purpose, which isn't the case for anthropomorphic characters as i've described earlier. your logic is "orcs are created to be violent brutes, so you cannot do anything with them unless it's also violent and brutish", which is just unnecessary and limiting.

>"i don't care about the game, look I don't care so much that I'm going to explain how much I don't care"

Playing Dying Light 3. It's good to have Crane back, I like his voice. But his motives are a bit lazy for the plot of the game, but at least makes sense given the fever dream that was the DLC in DL1.
I'm sad that they have removed all skills to almost nothing, and you can't grind parkour or combat skills, which makes doing everything feel worthless. Call me an addict, but seeing numbers go up whenever I do an action and get slightly better at that action at reaching X points tickle my monke brain feeling good part.
Also it seems that you can repair weapons rather cheaply(I only reapaired starting weapons). Haven't found many, so I don't know because it is a new change in philosophy. Few but valuable weapons, instead of like last 2 games in which I used whatever weapon I had and never bothered upgrading, because they broke and it was either impossible or near impossible or not worth it to repair. Gotta play more than 15 minutes to make a judgement.
We also have little small towns instead of skyscraper, which was the worst part of DL2 and the part that filtered me and made me stop playing it, not once but twice.

This time parkour isn't stamina gated, which was retarded, so now I can hang off a ledge whatever time I want instead of a few seconds. Still need to test how upgrading weapons work, grinding materials, and other stuff works. The combat is the same as DL1 and 2, wapon hits feel good and the "Beast Mode"(not joking, is the name of the skill) is pure RIP AND TEAR. Which is dumb violent fun, which again tickle that part of my monke brain and makes it feel good.

I need to play more than 15 minutes, and see how the open world is and unlock safe houses and check out the night mode. But it seems it has improvements on DL2, more similar to DL1. Which is good. I played and did all side missions of DL1 like 4 times, and in max difficulty like 1 or 2 times.
I just hope we get more charismatic characters like in DL1, instead of boring lesbians like in DL2.

>>545521886
Just ask me, I've been itching for an excuse to reinstall MHW.

Also you get special Beast Mode skills when you kill bosses in the form of injectable booster, because of some pseudoscientific mumbojumbo. The girl that rescued Crane said that you don't NEED all the boosters, only enough "to feel strong enough to take the Baron".
Maybe there's alternative endings if I use all boosters and unlock all Beast Mode skills? Or just saying I don't need to hunt every single last mini boss?
Anyway I need another one to control at will Beast Mode. Or Crane will go into RIP AND TEAR mode randomly as Beast Mode meter fills up. Which is annoying when you are just killing trash zeds.

>>545518938
that's a fair point, but i don't think it's way too pronounced to be considered chibi (as in making heads large specifically to look appealing/adorable), but to make different facial expressions more noticable without making the characters take too much screenspace

Oh no. The dreaded "connect the cables" minigame from DL2 is back. Fuck me.

I did all of MHW with a friend, but he gave up at Iceborne, because he couldn't get carried by the Guardian equipement anymore and "monsters have too much HP".
I didn't want to tell him but he hurt me a lot, I was having a lot of fun.

>>545522838
Their heads have like twice the volume of their entire torso. It achieves the same effect irrelevant of the intent.

>>545524527
I also did all of MHW with a friend from these threads and I gave up at Iceborn, I don't think you're talking about me though I was just very seriously seriously burnt out.
I do think about the game sometimes but only one specific fight I had, it was the most enjoyable mission I ever did with a great team and the only guy who had a mic was obviously recording for his YT series. I know what day it happened (from the saved pic date), but trying to find that one random episode on some guy's YT channel when I've no idea of the name would be like looking for a needle in an ocean. Shame.

>>545526334
You two should maybe play. I don't plan on reinstalling it at least until I get bored of DL3, which could be days.

Also I remember I was trying out the heavy bowgun as alternative to my hammer main. Didn't go very well.

>>545526334
No, no, not you. I meant a boyfriend and I haven't slept with anyone from these threads..
I still miss it, because I was terrible at the game, so I'd play safe, stay in the back, and use my build to heal everyone in the party, or use demon/stone powder to buff everyone. And hunting horns.
It cracked me up how even a shit player like me could still contribute without fighting the monster hand-to-hand.

>>545527536
I miss mine too. I tried jumping on Sunbreak, but it's not the same.
I did have a blast playing while listening to Warcraft lore though.

Died because a volatile spawned in front of me and couldn't dodge. Hate when they force you to do night missions and you barely have anything to fight zeds with. Can't even leave the main quest now or sleep the night.

>>545528506
YOU ARE DEAD, DEAD, DEAD
YOU ARE DEAD, DEAD, DEAD
THOUGHT YOU WERE HOT?
GUESS WHAT, YOU'RE NOT
YOU ARE DEAD, DEAD, DEAD
YOU ARE DEAD, DEAD, DEAD

I'm not crazy. You DO have shit stamina and you increase it by leveling. That explains why it takes a full bar to kill a simple zed.
Also it turns out that you could skip the mission, I just had to hoof it ninja style across the map to the only fucking safehouse that I had unlocked, because for some fucking reason there's no bed in the townhall that I just helped save.

>>545528426
>I miss mine too. I tried jumping on Sunbreak, but it's not the same.
I was really looking towards Wilds, even if I knew my PC couldn't handle it(it ran 20-25FPSs with MHW and the optimization mods). Now that I have a good PC Wilds turned out to be doodoo and I doubt Capcom is gonna keep giving it much support.

Anyway I think I would need to train again and practice, because now I would be super rusty with hammer. And that's the only weapon I know how to decently use. I can fool around with the HBG but it would be me saying "I'm helping!" while shooting in the general direction of the enemy.

>>545531031
For me, it's World.
I played... I think 2 on the gamecube, 3U (or 4U) on 3DS, I emulated Monster Hunter 1 on Sseth's emulator to play God Hand, but World is the only one where it finally clicked in and I had a real blast playing it, even if the harder monsters kick my ass all the way to Monday.

Why mouse support is so shit nowadays?
It was shit in 90s cross-platform games, it then got better, then nowadays it's back to being shit (even in PC-only games).
Mouse smoothing, mouse lag/delay, mouse speed clamping/negative mouse acceleration, different mouse sensitivity in X/Y axis, camera literally fighting mouse and rubber-banding back, the list goes on. Some games don't support mouse, at all! You literally aim with arrows, which is retarded as hell. They even brag about it, showing full-on splash screen with "mouse+keyboard is not recommended" on every launch. Yes, on a PC game.

I dunno, I'm enjoying a lot of the fights, even if the open world turned out to be a bit pants in design. Kind of a downgrade from World, honestly.
But I think the biggest issue is the shitass performance. If they got that under control, is it really so bad as a game?

>>545540196
>is it really so bad as a game?
I don't know. I'm basing on reviews. And given the bad reviews it has, I doubt it is gonna have as much support and content as World.

synthetik is one of these games I wanted to like, but I start to get bored after 30 min or so and start to rush more/put less effort, getting myself effectively killed in some avoidable way, then I have to start everything from scratch

god, i fucking hate what roguelikes have done to indie games.

>>545561506
that's a skill issue
some classes actively encourage aggressive play, and not constantly rushing towards enemies as breacher/raider is detrimental to your performance
only pussybitch classes like sniper or engineer actually force you to play slowly
otherwise it's a matter of aiming, dashing and buildcrafting

>>545561853
maybe that is the case, how long it takes to beat a run with these faster classes?

>>545562818
1-1.5 hours, then you can also loop, but you either need at least some of the class-specific upgrades or be really good if you don't have them
depends on how throughout you are when clearing out the levels

>>545563138
>1-1.5 hours

You see, that is my issue with these games, its just combat combat combat for like one hour straight (with the same content already seen before), I just get tired and start losing interest in the run after some point.

I can only hope the abbot was already dead before they burned him.

Samurai armor is awesome. Gives a big armor bonus.
Meanwhile the Ronin "armor" is just a damage boost.

Actually, Gengis Khan was a Han Chinese with the most beautiful and divine aspiration.
Glorious China never seeked out war for the sake of war. Divine China only ever seeked universal peace through unification.

Please pick up a book before you type, next time. Preferably a revised one, approved by the government.

/indie/ is slow today so gonna post my Onirism pics of the few hours I played it at launch(hope is less buggy now).

Carol is a fine example of a girlboss character that's actually endearing instead of coming off as a cunt.

Bought and finished My Little Puppy in about 5-6 hours. This is the kind of game I wanted Stray to be. It's not perfect, but all the different challenges (simple as they are) make it an entertaining story to go through. It almost felt like a bite-sized It Takes Two-type experience, just single-player. The dev team is Korean and owned by Krafton, I hope it does well enough for the studio to stay alive.

Also today there was a Onirism patch.
And a Icarus update.

>>545616317
Isn't Icarus the game where you make your own labyrinth and people immediately cheated and made unbeatable labyrinths?

>>545616529
No. It's the weird open world survival crafting game in which for REASONS you are dropped in a failed terraformed world and have to reinvent the wheel and mine precious minerals.

>>545616650
Oh, right. There was a faggot here that played it, it seemed fun, but no less. No big reason to try it specifically.

>>545615706
A tough experience if you love dogs, but pushing through it will probably enhance your love even more.

>>545616765
>There was a faggot here that played it
I'm that faggot.
I've been shilling it since forever. And now that I have a new PC I should play it again and try to make webms.

>>545616806
You cannot post your disgusting sextapes on a blueboard, that faggot.

>>545616770
Oh no...
Fucking PETA is at it again.

>>545616806
I'm still confused as to why you like it. From what you showed, beside the interesting lore reason, it's very standard. So why Icarus instead of Valheim or Vintage Story or Dragonwilds or whatever?

>>545617007
>So why Icarus instead of Valheim or Vintage Story or Dragonwilds or whatever?
Because I like the idea of the game and the gameplay loop is fun, it offers interesting mechanics and meta progression in a innovative and fun sci-fi setting.
It probably is even better in multiplayer, where you can specialize in a particular skill set and fullfill a role in combat and in the economy of the game. But alas I'm not much of a multiplayer guy, so I haven't looked for a group to play it with. But one day I will.

I dropped Valheim because the combat was too hard and boring at 10 hours. Will give it another chance when it is out of Early Access.
I don't have a hour counter for Vintage Story but I must played over 100 hours of it over the last 3-4 years, specially modded. Vanilla is now too simple for me, I crave more but development is slow and doesn't have as big modding community as Minecraft(which I have thousands of modded play time in).

Dragonwilds looks too much like a soulless openworld survival crafting slop for me to even consider playing it.
It doesn't look like it offers anything new or exciting. Just generic European medieval fantasy slop in openworld survival craft format. It seems to be leaning hard on RS nostalgia/following/fans to carry it. And I never played RS so I don't have such things as nostalgia/fandom to make me play it.
Hell, the whole Steam store page is about how good the other RS is and that they promise this game will have similar elements. Again I haven't played RS, and at facevalue it looks like boring unimaginative grift to get the money of the people falls on the convergence of RS players and openworld survival craft players.

>>545615798
They're spinnerets

>>545618184
>the gameplay loop is fun
Right, I really like Dragonwilds but I'll rant about why I like it later, this is what confuses me.
Isn't Icarus a survival game? How is the gameplay loop any different from other survival games? Do you have hordes to survive, like in 7 Days to Die? Do you have a dragon to kill from Dragonwilds? Do you seek terra pretta like in Vintage Story?

>>545618462
>Isn't Icarus a survival game?
Yes.
>How is the gameplay loop any different from other survival games?
You have combined: Thirst, food, temperature and weather events, random hostile animals and aliens. That makes survival harder than in normal games. Which I find fun
Do you have hordes to survive, like in 7 Days to Die?
There are events and missions that triggers either hordes of enemies or bosses. Like, using a exotics radar atracts enemy widlife and you have to defend the radar while it is working. In basegame there are 2 bosses, a huge alien sandworm and an alpha wolf.

>Do you have a dragon to kill from Dragonwilds?
You have two modes. A pure roguelite timed based mission mode and a pure open world infinite time mode in which you can do infinite missions. Your character has skills and gear that serve as meta progression as it can be used repeatedly in the roguelite missions and open world.
In the last few years devs have been porting to the open world mode practically all the roguelite missions. And the open world mode has special grinding missions too.
The last DLC adds new bosses with exclusive gear to craft as hunting missions too.
There's two other DLCs with new maps with new features. One of which has a "no map zone" for example, in which you have to do special missions, and a new end-game goal slash resource. They each have new and different bosses, alien life and Earth-based animals. And even new meta progression.

>Do you seek terra pretta like in Vintage Story?
No. You have farming plots of different levels and the higher ones need water and electricity. You can also make a greenhouse to give a bonus to the efficiency of your farming plots.

>>545619656
>Thirst, food, temperature and weather events, random hostile animals and aliens
That reminds me of Return to Moria.
It's not a good reminder. I'd expand on that, but I'm packing up to go to the hospital in an emergency, so I can ask for clarifications or what-else.

>a pure open world infinite time mode in which you can do infinite missions
This sounds fun.
I certainly appreciate that DLCs don't just make the main game even harder, but instead provide alternative experiences.

>You have farming plots of different levels and the higher ones need water and electricity
Well, fuck.
I'm staying away from this game, then.

>>545619830
can't ask for clarification*
Anyway, going, see ya later. I'll have a questions to ask.

I laughed when I saw the French outfit.
It is cute though.

>>545619830
>Well, fuck.
>I'm staying away from this game, then.
You can plant on dirt, but it's not as profitable as planting on a temperature-controlled-hydroponic tray hooked up to a water pump inside a greenhouse.


Anyway take care and if the medical emergency is for you try not die Anon.

>Team17, plz go away.

>>545620816
Nah, more like I'm a farmer. If there's any kind of farming in a game, my progress is going to slow to a crawl until I have 999 of every grain, vegetable, fruit, or saibaiman I can grow.

>>545632401
Well. One of the mechanics are food buffs. You can have up to 4 food buffs and 1 candy buff(candy isn't considered food, also you can unlock a skill for 5 active food buffs or stronger vegetarian buffs). And for combat is almost mandatory to minmax them. Specially if you plan on taking down bosses. Food buffes effects are huge(like four times starting health), and depending on your combat build there are food dishes that give more ranged or melee bonuses. So mid to end game it pays a lot to have a prepared menu for combat and another for crafting/gathering/farming matts. Which will depend on your skill build too.

I've finally jumped on the Balatro bandwagon. And I'm genuinely surprised, I played several hours straight. That's the first time I actually like a flavor of the month roguelite.

>>545635076
I'm looking forward to playing more Balatro myself, but I've been holding off for the big promised rebalancing patch before I resume.

>>545633573
So kinda like Enshrouded/Valheim, food isn't just fullness+different bonuses, it's actually mandatory to not die in one hit.

>>545417370
Mystia's izayaka doesn't take much thinking but it's not really well balanced either, the game is cakewalk from start to finish and that's its greatest sin because it could be fun otherwise.

Started a new Open World run in Icarus. Haven't played in months. Also new PC so I'm getting used to having actually high quality graphics. Things feels weird. I'm used to far lower resolution and blockier models.

>>545656314
Make a pickaxe and mined a shelter inside one of the big rocks like in pick-related.

>storm subsides
>meet level 14 wolf
Jesus it's ugly. I'm going to have to change the graphisms.

This game looks great when the graphic settings aren't set to low. But I'm having a hard time to lowering it because it just "feels weird".

>>545657582
>level 14
The cap is 100. You are in a low level area. You can dispatch a level 14 wolf with one shot of a short bow and stone arrow to the head. Or one or two stabs of stone knife to the head.
Also you can run far faster than all the hostile animals in Olympus. Even faster if you bunny jump. Yes bunny jumping is a viable way of moving when you don't have a mount. And even then it is mostly faster than a maxed out terrenus/horse.

>>545657405
Bit late, but yeah, I survived the storm.
Also found out how to actually craft, the tip at the top left to press J is bollocks, you need to press Tab and move to the crafting tab.

Anyway, I fixed the graphisms a bit, but it becomes extremely blurry when I move, so... not perfect.
I'm getting flashback to ARK, except it's a bit more palatable. And the UI is nice.
Anyway, going to bed now, hospital stay ruined my morale.

>>545657939
I tried to get back in the pod. Then I got pissed and punched him in the face.

i started playing megabonk, it's pretty good
but i don't understand why or how the game decides if i get to take the portal or die by swarm when defeating a stage boss

>food spoils VERY quickly
I shouldn't have picked all the maize I saw.

Last screenshot for now.
I'm getting reminded of ARK for the base system, and Necromunda for the "can't lower graphisms too much or the game isn't even understandable". I'll have to lower the resolution and find a way to turn off the antialiasing and postprocessing.

>>545281390
>>545283095
I know /vg/ is newfag central but that doesn't mean you have to act like nu-/v/ too.

>>545658173
might have to do with what tier you're playing. Or if you activated the boss before the swarm started maybe.

>>545658375
>I shouldn't have picked all the maize I saw.
Don't pick up crops unless you are gonna use them/get seeds out of them.
Also there's an icebox, a fridge and freezer. I generally go directly to the freezer and don't bother with the icebox or fridge. But I don't bother with food until I "tech up" my base to tier 4.


>>545658617
>"can't lower graphisms too much or the game isn't even understandable"
I could run it fine in my 10 year old rig but had to tweak all the settings down.
By the way, if you are in Open World(and it looks like it), mark down somewhere off game all the Deep Vein mineral deposits, as they are the most efficient way of getting ores long term.
Also craft bandages and suture kit with the first few bones you get, and always carry them on yourself. You do need them as basic medkit for bleeding and deep wounds. You can also one shot almost all neutral animals with the short bow and stone arrows. But I do advise to upgrade to bone arrows and long bow.

>>545656314
Clearly, the copied No Man's Sky.

>>545658617
Forgot to mention. Turn off in Gameplay options Fibrous plant respawn and Large stone respawn, they both respawn grass and stone rocks and is annoying when you want to clear out an area for your base. Also disabling the kill cam is good too.

As a frenchie from a colony that got ruled over by the Brits, I can't agree more. Brits were turbo cunts when managing their colonies, and ours got the luxury of hosting most of the escaping royalists from the usa post revolution, who were super pro britain and paranoid as fuck.

On an unrelated note, I started a game of Necromancer Tale, and the writing look good, also love the aspect that you have to make your own journal notes, as the game just write the first details and you have to keep track of your own progression. Feel refreshing from the more common handholding.

Thanks for the advices, I'll remember that.
Kinda like Vintage Story, remember where you found ore.

The boarhorse begs to differ.

Hardspace shipbreaker would be a good co-op game.

I need the experience.
But...

The trolling opportunities would be numerous, but jest aside it could be comfy and allow for some neat coordination and some interesting ship designs. Wait I just thought of something...

Hardspace Shipbreaker is a game of jenga.

I didn't. I like kiwis.
The boarse? They died.

HAVE YOU SEEN KYLE?
HE'S THAT TALL!

That's right, bitch. Know your place, at mankind's feet.

>rainstorm
I should've skipped thatch and go directly for wood, but I misunderstood the UI and thought I needed carpentry for it.
So here I am, losing my seed extractor for the third time already, while frantically repairing my hut.

ICARUUUUUUUUUUUS

Okay, water is on the way.
Protip: do NOT drink unclean water. It supposely has 15% chance to gives you dysentery. I drank from it three times, and got the shit thrice.
15% mon cul sur la commode !

I have no idea what the fuck this is. Supposely, it whacks fire, but... how? Why?

>>545700876
You know how you snuff out fires with a blanket?
Well that whacker kind of works in same principle, but more rapid and aggressively.

Ooooh, yeah. That actually makes sense.

Also I dunno why but I can't make the game look right, it's blurry.

Try the steam forums, usually people post guides on how to change up the graphics in detail

I think I found out how. Turned all the fancy options off until I got to turn off the antialiasing.
Now to grind until I'm level 10...

Oh damn, the game has killcams. À la Skyrim or Fallout.

>pack hunter

This is why you died.

If you can't outrun boarhorse just wait until you meet Mr.Bearington.
There's even an achivement about dying to a bear.

>>545685214
>How do I mark something down on my map permanently??
You can't. The game wasn't designed with Open World in mind, so it lacks some features for long term living in the same map. That's why I told you to prepare a map off-game.
>copper
I'm so jelly, so far only found gold and silica veins. The gold one is gonna be useful but the silica one is gonna be rather useless once I finish upgrading everything to concrete.

>>545694907
>pick the chucking spears route
They do surprisingly a lot of damage and there are skill for it, but having to carry more as backup in case you miss the first shot, makes me like the bow more.

>>545695285
I don't bother with seed extraction untill I have either a full wood house and plan on staying there a long time or a full concrete tier. But year you not being level 60 means you will have to spend a lot longer on wood/stone tiers

>>545700876
>Why?
Whenever you try to use wood/thatch floors with a campfire you will understand why.


>>545704030
>angle piece of wall refuses to face the right way
There's a key when on planning to build mode that lets you rotate parts, they don't usually come aways facing the right direction.

>>545707963
>Now to grind until I'm level 10...
Is funny cuz I did my first 60 levels with missions because there was no Open World mode(which accounts for almost all my play time). So I really have no idea how the progression would be in Open World from zero. Specially since you need to craft the mission board radio thingy to start doing missions and earning Ren.

>>545709258
Told you that disabling it may be good.

new highfleet / sunless sea lookalike
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsTlZktE5LE

>>545730459
Already on my wishlist.
I'm mostly curious about how open ended the gameplay will be like. If it will really be like Sunless Sea or slant more towards something like In Other Waters, which felt incredibly linear, at least as far as I got

>>545683295
>>545687461
Now add proximity chat and bigger ships. Shit would be insane.
I remember when I first played Lethal Company with no prior exposure to it, I didn't even know it had monsters and assumed maybe it's all just stage hazards and being separated form your friends that makes it spooky.
And I would love to play a game that explores that concept a bit

>>545729679
>They do surprisingly a lot of damage and there are skill for it, but having to carry more as backup in case you miss the first shot, makes me like the bow more
I got the bow, but I expected to get wood arrows for free. I don't, so I can make a bow but I can't make arrows.

>I don't bother with seed extraction untill I have either a full wood house and plan on staying there a long time or a full concrete tier
I very quickly learned it so that I could save all the corn and berries I gathered. Food spoils, seeds don't.

>There's a key when on planning to build mode that lets you rotate parts
Nay, I tried that, it somehow didn't work. I had to mess with the hammer to redo it.

>I really have no idea how the progression would be in Open World from zero
Well, I killed everything I found, and I'm only level 8. I got enough ressources to progress, but I need to be level 10 to unlock the crafting bench blueprint.
So I'm exploring around my house to try to find wolves or boar horses to kill while growing medicinal herbs and building up my house some more.

Windows are pretty cozy. But I need a chair.

>>545734393
>But I need a chair.
There area bazillion furniture DLCs available by the way.

>>545734050
>Food spoils, seeds don't.
Just don't pick veggies up? I just run with meat from hunting as later you will need shitloads of bones to make epoxy for circuits and without a sulfur deep vein it is kinda hard.

>>545734050
>Well, I killed everything I found, and I'm only level 8. I got enough ressources to progress, but I need to be level 10 to unlock the crafting bench blueprint.
The starting missions are about explorations and survival and gives you extra XP when completed(and Ren). So I really didn't have to thought out much what to unlock in the first tier, as all the basic stuff was easily covered. But now there are more items that when I started playing.

>>545728725
KCD2 is my goty and not amount of shitposting about a minuscule part of a 100 hours long game will change that.

>>545735554
>There area bazillion furniture DLCs available by the way
I saw, yeah. Normally I'd bitch about it but Icarus feels less shitty than ARK.

>>Just don't pick veggies up?
Can't do, that was after I got my Votann moment and harvested everything I found.

>The starting missions are about explorations and survival and gives you extra XP when completed(and Ren)
Yeah, but also nah. See pic related, I can't access missions until I have a crafting bench, and it's locked at level 10.

That was weird. A plot disappeared.

>>545738664
>That was weird. A plot disappeared.
Weather damages buildings and plots. Hence why we have a green house building parts.

NEW OBJECTIVE: GET BACON

>>545738949
Yeah, but like, the crop on top of it was still intact, and none of the other mud foundation took any damage. Actually none of the mud foundations got damaged at all. I guess the storms aren't nasty enough for that.

Oh yeah. If you play Icarus, look for "sponges".
I don't know what that kind of sponge is, but you can't make waterskin until way, way later in the game.
And if you want coffee or cocoa or tea, you need a container.

...cocoa.
We Aztecs now, booooys.

SHAKE WITH FEAR, YOU TINY FOOLS

Nothing says "I'm a fucking retard" like losing on ante 4 after getting a free polychrome blueprint in the first shop because I (for god knows what reason) decided to use ectoplasm on popcorn and waste my money on nothing, didn't even get to use the negative tag on ante 4.
The seed was: EZVUYNUI but I decided to check an online seed reader and the normal joker is not blueprint, it's hit the road which I don't have unlocked yet so that seed is basically useless...

>>545742582
What???????

>>545742887
Balatro. I wasted a god run.

>>545743665
Ha, I get it. Shame.

Kiwis!

>Winter Burrow coming out in 4 days
Really hope it's good. It looks cozy as hell but the (first) Demo did feel a little amateurish and overly linear. I really hope they polished it up

No matter how much you ate, you wake up fasting.
The desert is not kind to the negligent.
Weapons hold no loyalties to their makers.

I didn't expect a ending this epic

>>545748078
So is the DLC worth it? I loved the main game, but what I really liked where the different divine domains, the black labyrinth didn't really appeal to me.

>>545748078
You might want to check out "Fight Knight".

Heh...
Better stats, but I think the cloth armour looks really good. Big Fremens vibes.
I really wanna play Dune Awakening but I know that it's likely going to be bad.

>>545748203
not having different realms and different sets of enemies is the only thing I disliked about black labyrinth. Its a DLC, so I guess its fair and I never expect anything different, its like a single new realm that is just longer than others.

Amid Evil is kind of a "empty" barebones game and the different realms helps keeps things fresh, BL is just the same enemies everywhere and kind of the same vibe, but the map design, by itself, is still good, if not even better than the vanilla. The length is good for a DLC of a FPS game. I think it was worth.

>>545747230
kiwis grow in nests?

>>545750507
I mean, I have a very soft spot for religion in fantasy worlds, because I'm always amused by how everyone is the same race (human, elves, whatever) but they all have vastly different customs and values because they follow different gods. I liked Majesty for that, I like Amid Evil for that too, so taking it away...
Heh...

>>545750846
someone caring about the lore of a game like that is the last thing that I expected

>>545751282
I am full of secrets.
I feel like I know her, but sometimes my arms bend backward.

>>545749035
Unlock the oxygen bladders and oxygen bladder filling machine. It is way more worth it than an armor that slightly reduces incoming damage. Unless you are going to bear country of course.

>>545750507
Amid had the same issue all boomers shooters tend to have where they make the maps largely super open and your mobility doomguy tier with jumping, so you can effortlessly kite the entire map infinitely with no effort, trivializing the entire game.
The only one I can think of to not do that was Hedon but that had the opposite issue of being a "where the fuck do I go" simulator

>>545757191
Instructions unclear, only got the bladder and not the bladder filling machine.

I'm playing sonic frontiers and I don't think I've ever seen a game with abandonment issues before. Cause that game goes beyond fan service directly into people pleasing design.

Damn, I pinned that wolf to the lake with a single arrow.
I'm a good archer.

That skinning bench makes me feel like a serial killer. You may call me Cioccolata.
