Although the line between "cutscene" and "gameplay" in RE6 is a thin one, because it's a pinnacle of game design and a modern masterpiece

I just tried playing some old-school Elite from the 80s and god drat is this game impenetrable. I have no idea what I'm doing and the second I leave the safety of home and I get jumped by pirates and exploded while I flail around in space like I'm drunk.

i really love the idea of elite: dangerous i just absolutely hate how doing anything in it is bookended by 20 minutes of travel time to and from stations, and anything worth doing in it has to be done 300 million times to make any noticeable progress, and everything you can do in it is extremely repetitive

I never played many RTS aside from an unhealthy relationship with Starcraft 1, but my favorite game from the genre was Outpost 2. You picked one of two factions of colonists and tried to survive on an alien planet. The planet (I forget the name) was lifeless so there weren't any alien enemies to fight against, it was just you surviving against occasional attacks from the other faction and maybe one mission against your own troops, but almost every mission was really a race against the clock. One faction wanted to terraform the planet and their creeping problem was a thing called the Blight, which would slowly take over the map and could be held back for a short while with special walls. The other faction wanted to learn to live with the planet the way it was, and they contended with lava, which worked the same way as the Blight. Something about managing colonists, assigning them to work in the different facilities or putting them through university so they could become researchers, finding high yield ore deposits, and eventually ending each mission by packing up the required number of living humans into rovers so they could escape before their little outpost became overran by biogoo or molten rock obviously left an impression on me. I just now saw that it's available on Good Old Games, so I think I know what I'll be doing this weekend. e: Oh, I guess it's not on GOG. But apparently it is available on outpost2.net? Maybe that's  , I can't check the site at work.

Help Im Alive posted:There should be a more realistic space game where it takes 8 months real time to travel to another planet You can spend that long to fly to another star in elite but it doesn't load right if you don't use the hyperdrive (I think people discovered this with mods, no one has actually spent that long in the cockpit). There are several star systems in the game whose destinations are so spread out you have to spend tens of real-time minutes flying to them, the biggest is several hours across. It was only recently that a way to avoid taking missions that obligated you to do this was patched in. You could do a multi-month flight for realsies in KSP if you refrain from using the time acceleration commands, everything in that game is full scale and you're limited to realistically attainable speeds.

Harrow posted:This is every dramatic scene in any tabletop RPG I've ever run Speaking of tabletop RPGs, my friend is running a Deadlands campaign that I'm in and while I really, truly appreciate all the work that he puts into the game, there's one thing he does that really irks me: require Notice rolls for *everything*. Like, I want to read through a journal, that's a Notice roll. I walk into a dark room and fail my Notice roll? Well then I don't see the glowing rock on the middle of the desk. One time we entered a room and he had us roll notice before telling us that the room was the scene of a murder and that there was broken furniture and blood everywhere. What would have happened if everyone had failed that roll? I don't think that he's gauging how much information to give based on the roll, because he'll have us do additional Notice checks after establishing a scene. Like the murder scene, there were more checks after we walked in to see if things were missing, if there were areas conspicuously free of blood, if there were broken windows, etc. The DM and I clearly have a difference of opinion when it comes to these checks; I feel like there are things that should be obvious or provided without a check, and he wants to slow down his own storytelling to see if my character is still literate.

I like the idea Gumshoe has where if there is a clue, you are going to find it, and the only rolls you make with clues is just extra bits of information tied to them if you have whatever skill corresponds to it.

From that read it sounds to me like he's either anxious about the mystery being too easy to solve and throwing up roadblocks to complicate it, or he's trying a weird strategy of letting you roll Notice to give the illusion that there's something you're missing, even if you're not. Assuming it's not just because he's bad at it. I know when I DMed at first I would throw out pointless skill checks to try and trip the party up, out of a sense of trying to 'win' the game, but it's a bad way to DM imo.

the funny thing about nintendo going after rom sites is that like... don't people just torrent that poo poo now? Like can't you just torrent for 5 seconds and then all the 8-bit/16-bit games ever made are already on your computer I use torrent as a verb because i'm an old person who hasn't done an eCrime in like a decade

When I got my Retropie I found a Facebook group that had MegaUpload (I think, pretty sure?) links for entire libraries for most systems. Which is cool and everything until people start posting about the Wonderswan Color version of Final Fantasy Legend and I discover that the version in the dump is screwed up but I'm the only person in tens of thousands of members who gives a hoot.
