In a character creator for ages before setting out into the rest of the game...Only to face the final boss: character name...And neither a default name nor a name generator built-in.
Forget the Souls games, the most difficult type of game is the Character Creator.
The hardest metagame to avoid sometimes is fear of missing out, subsequent backlog buildup and choice paralysis.
A winning strat is to wait new releases out and focus on playing what interests you of what you already have to completion before getting any new games.
Heute Abend diskutiere ich mit @AnjaHirschel , Rechtsanwältin Renate Schmid und #StopKillingGames-Sprecher Daniel Ondruska die EU-Initiative gegen das Computerspiele-Sterben.
Als #Piraten setzen wir uns für die Rechte von Gamer*innen ein und für die gleichberechtigte Anerkennung von #Gaming als modernes Kulturgut!
I was sent this mouse made of Magnesium to test out a bit from a vendor for TikTok. Bluetooth, and wireless with a dongle but also can work as a wired mouse. It has up to 4KHz polling with the adapter, and up to 26,000 DPI. I like the design (this is a battle worn design), added the grip stickers it came with, which look nice and add a nice texture. There is lighting built in. It’s very light and honestly my only complaint so far, lack of side scrolling.
@chiefgyk3d that may genuinely be the case. I guess I'm expecting the friction.
I've been using a wired G502 for years, which has adjustable/removable internal weights. I just opened up the hatch to check and yep -- all the additional weights are in there.
...along with a frankly shocking amount of dog fur
@endeavorance yeah I am weird, I got used to lighter mice after a while and use a G502 with no weights, but I did just swap the G502 out of my streaming PC for a Ploopy Adept trackball I 3D Printed to save some space as I have a kind of cramped 2 PC stream setup, and I love the heavier trackball a lot more. I put a vintage 8 ball in my mouse.
What makes a really great #videogame#adaptation stand out from lots of mediocre ones? Here's a deep dive. Tl;dr: It's not the special effects, but rather the experience. The main examples he explores are #Fallout (the ne plus ultra of adaptations) and #TheLastOfUs (which is only almost as good, mostly because the game was a bit too cinematic in the first place).
Here comes a game that I’m not just playing “on the side”, but one that gets my full attention and that I’m really looking forward to: #TheOuterWorlds by #Obsidian. In the first hour, I’m very impressed by the excellent writing and even more excellent voice acting. The conversation here is so much fun. I am also enchanted by the very beautiful and unobtrusive soundtrack by Justin E. Bell. — #Gaming#ShareYourGames
Featuring new sky colors, a new "label and graphite" item, fence gates, upside-down stairs and slabs, a new explosion system, death messages, and more.
We just finished "We Were Here Expeditions: The Friendship" and @IrgendSoEine and me almost scored a perfect score.
We collected all the golden tickets and we had a blast.
It's less story focused than the other "We Were Here" games, but it was very nice c:
ROFL Of course Sony would make PSN a requirement for their two PC ports, shooting themselves in the foot while running is so clever! A non-starter for me, I won't buy either game even if they decide to make it optional. Can't reward their foolishness.
@Klumpmeister Yeah, the double dipping in both markets is pretty bad. Especially when PSN could be considered worse than EA or Ubisoft's own online services. In terms of games, I think Sony is fine, but they need to take a hard look at their store; culling some games which don't meet a higher standard.
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds Sony doing layoffs didn’t help either. I saw something that PS4 players account for nearly half of their traffic which is funny given how old the PS4 is.
@beanjbunny Trashmaid looks amazing! The concept of cleaning up the ocean and rescuing fish friends in a roguelike adventure is both fun and meaningful. I love the cool purple hair and the vibrant pixel art style. Keep up the fantastic work – your creativity and passion shine through! Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Keep making awesome games!
Fast 10 Jahre hat es kein ambitioniertes MMO-Projekt mehr geschafft, sich einen Platz an der Sonne zu erkämpfen. Trotzdem sieht die Zukunft des Genres überraschend rosig aus.
Kolejny przegląd wieści o grach przygodowych na blogu. Tym razem wspominam m.in. o kryminalnej produkcji Arsene Lupin - Once a Thief i nowym projekcie twórcy Papetury pt. Pirofauna.
The sad thing about the Marvelous Game Showcase is that nobody ran 'Diligently Under Development' by any native English speakers. 'Dud' is all that I see every time I read that subtitle and it's driving me crazy. The games they've shown off so far look interesting.
Of the titles that I was interested in Farmagia, Story of Seasons, and Rune Factory: Project Dragon; I think the new Rune Factory game appeals to me the most. An Earthmate who communicates with the world using the art of dance is interesting!
Second place had to be the new Story of Seasons game they showed off...The idea of gliding in such a game is interesting. New traversal types can sometimes shake up a genre. Farmagia doesn't yet appeal to me, need more info first.
While Letterboxd seems to be the popular option for logging and reviewing movies, there doesn't seem to be a consensus option for video games. In the past I've used Backloggery, Grouvee, and Playfire (RIP), but dropped those years ago.
So, what does everyone on the fediverse use for logging/reviewing video games?
@questlog I quite like the site design, and your policies are great!
One of the things I like most about Letterboxd is being able to follow people and having an activity feed to see what they've been watching and what they thought of it. While Questlog seems great for reminding myself of what I've played (which is great, because my memory is crap 😆), I hope you consider something similar as your site continues to develop. 🙂
@LadyMarth01 I definitely consider it. I have a few user requests I want to do first.
It happens so often in the last time that I open Questlog and think how great it would be if I could see better what others do (if they want to share it).
As I want to give users as much privacy as they want to, this is a bit of a challenge as I have to add more options for this.
But for me that's the feature I want the most myself currently. 😁
