Amazingly, Subnautica does not make me motion sick. And I'm someone who has to mod out head bob from Stalker and can not play Quake 3 Arena anymore without getting debilitating nausea.

Fallom posted:So you haven't actually tried it to see? I hadn't, because it's fairly easy for me to get motion sick. Lately I've been trying to play Sea of Thieves but a two hour session is enough for me to feel nauseated the rest of the day. I thought I had heard a lot of people complaining about Subnautica giving them motion sickness. I guess I should stop putting it off and give it a shot!

I think I need to just take some anti-motionsickness pills and get through it. I don’t have any problem playing it normally but something about their VR implementation makes it the only game that has me feeling like I’m gonna hurl on the Rift S. I think the controls are weird or something.

Oh wow, this game would've been a lot easier if I had fixed this radiation leak much earlier, along with getting the Prawn Suit, huh I did think it was weird how I got a new diving suit a while ago to help my survival in dangerous habitats but would still leave me vulnerable rads.

explosivo posted:Session or Skate XL; are either of these games worthy successors to Skate or worth playing in their current states? So this is from literally a week ago but I'm just getting caught up on the thread and I missed the brief discussion of PC skateboards games. I have not tried Skater XL so I can't comment there but I have put a couple dozen hours into Session and I think its a fantastic skateboarding sim that does a lot to capture what it feels like to actually skateboard. Like Skate, there's no trick progression or unlocks, you can do every trick from minute one - if you can actually perform the inputs correctly. The focus is on creating, practicing and performing lines in a big, open sandbox skatepark that looks a lot like NYC. Its still early access and still has a lot of content that needs to be added but the controls are all essentially there (minus grabs which were still getting worked on last time I fired it up) and the controls are what make it feel like a sim more than an arcade style game. The controls are what will make or break the game for you, they can feel very intimidating at first. Basically, your left stick controls your left foot, the right stick controls your right foot and the input directions for the tricks will depend on you're stance, your direction of travel, and what kind of trick you want to do. For example - standard stance moving forward (ie facing right on the board) you would pull the right stick down and flick the left stick up to ollie. The sticks would be reversed for switch/goofy and the directions would be reversed for nollie/fakey. Inputs for grinds and slides will depend on your stance and whether you are trying to do frontside or backside. With the fully manual control setup, you have to use the triggers to catch the board with your feet during flip tricks. It can take a few hours to get a feel for it and quite a lot of practice to really get it down. BUT, you can customize the controls and simplify them quite a bit so you don't have to go full sim if you don't want to. What the game really does right, for me, is the way it feels like skateboarding in that you will see a spot and think "I bet I can set up over here, heelflip into a backside tailslide down this rail and 180 out to manual" and then you try it over and over until you nail it clean. In that way, it feels a lot like Skate and like actual skateboarding. Using the sim controls and pulling off a clean line feels amazing. And, of course, it has a video editor built in so you can make rad sizzle reals. There are some downsides, mainly from the fact that its still EA. The map is pretty big and they just added a new area like a month or two ago, but it feels lifeless - like you're skating post-apocalypse. There isn't a whole lot of board and clothing cosmetics and so there really isn't any sense of in game progression, at least not as of the last time I played, which was a few months ago. I would really love to do more pretty skater doll dressup. Some of the mechanics aren't completely fleshed out, like grabs as I mentioned earlier but also the bails are pretty rough. A lot of the fun of Skate was the ragdoll bailing when you hosed up. With Session, you will bail a lot and it doesn't feel particularly great, especially considering that lightly bumping a curb will send you flying. The music is fine but kind of monotonous imo - I played with my own music but had to do it from outside of the game. It would be nice if there was a way to import a playlist and manage it from the game menu but eh, not a huge deal. Other than that, I have few complaints and I'm looking forward to how it shapes up moving forward. Highly recommend checking it out if a high skill ceiling, non-arcade skateboard game that does a good job at capturing the feeling of street skating appeals to you.

So, uh, fellow Troubleshooters... Is there any better strategy for dealing with John besides hitting him until he triggers his buff then running the gently caress away until it runs out? He was a real nasty surprise to come across.

Vermintide 2 has much more active players, albeit dropped a lot, and is pretty good until you hit Legend really. If it's just a 4p Co-op game you want, may I suggest Deep Rock Galactic instead? https://store.steampowered.com/app/548430/Deep_Rock_Galactic/ It just came out of early access a few days ago, has a big goon presence, and pubbies are pretty good overall!

But it looked exactly the same in terms of gameplay, design, and aesthetics. Literally just reskinned. Makes a lot more sense if THQ is just publishing and it was the same dev.

Lately I've been trying to play Sea of Thieves but a two hour session is enough for me to feel nauseated the rest of the day. Have you tried taking some ginger candies or ginger pills? I get motion sick pretty easily while gaming as well. I started using them just to try it out since we had a lot left over from when my wife was pregnant and had morning sickness. As long as I take it about 15-30 min in advance of a gaming session, it seemed to prevent (or greatly lessen) the nausea.

The white tiger group is basically going to force you to retreat and barely survive for a while. Always group up, use the cops as meatshields if you can, Shield cops are basically bait in Wall mode when you have them. Raise the block/evasion on Albus/Irene as much as possible to tank through. Things didn't really settle down until I did a once-over of all the previous missions (yellow text means new) and Giselle joined.

No, I mean, John isn't even White Tiger, he's the Spoonist guy who becomes literally immortal for 4 turns when his buff triggers and is also insanely powerful and capable of one shotting whoever he hits. I still won because I ran away until his buff ran out and then killed him with Sion (and then he revived again with second heart/third heart and killed sion and I had to finish him off with cops and Anne but details).

pentyne posted:What about the glitch or whatever, something that made it impossible to get 100%? Looking at my achievements I have all of them relating to finding and destroying stuff except the one for Scavenging Locations, so perhaps that one is broken? Should I have written "100% as best you can"? Anyway, 53 hours in it according to Steam so that's not bad value. However, I really enjoy games that let you cruise around the map at speed looking for stuff. Assassins Creed got tiring for me because map traversal was so slow. Dying Light had the grappling hook and you could Spiderman your way around at a decent rate of knots. And for Subnautica, it was all about the Prawn grappling. Swinging from tunnel ceilings, boosting off little outcroppings. Whee!

Yeah, I believe John is one of those characters who only show up on hard/cruel difficulty, I had him on a rescue mission, I think? Definitely the nastiest human opponent I've fought yet. He becomes immune to damage but not to debuffs, so try to bodyblock him with the SWAT/Shields and drop flashbangs on him, smoke cover on your guys too. It got messy, but thankfully he was the last thing I had to fight in the mission. Tae posted:

John doesn’t have Veteran, so he’s vulnerable to stun (and also freeze and other debuffs). That’s my strategy to taking out any of the immortality buff enemies. Alternatively, you can also remove the immortality buff with masteries that remove buffs (like Graffiti or Witch’s Jealousy)

Vermintide 2 (and 1 honestly) has basically the chillest community of randos that you can find in any matchmade objective based game anywhere. Like the number of times I've had an rear end in a top hat complaining about someone's performance or mistakes is so low that each one stood out massively, because at worst people are just not communicative but many times people will be chill, call out for help and have fun. Note that that goes away immediately upon playing the highest difficulty because of course it does, but the highest difficulty isn't particularly fun anyway.

Also on Troubleshooter news man this mission where you have to go through warehouses loving sucks if you don't realize what's going to happen once you do find what you're looking for. I had my crew spread out looking for Mr.Lee and then everything very quickly went to poo poo. Second try I just kept everyone together and it went flawlessly. The more I play the more I realize splitting anyone off the main squad is a terrible idea, even Hero Irene.

Also Vermintide 2 is one of those sequels that made the previous game very obsolete, all V1 has above 2 is some cool maps that haven't been ported over.

Yeah, I feel the only time it is worth splitting the party is if you are on a timer, but even then I divide the group in half at most and try to stay within range of a double move from the other party. Things can get nasty really fast with some enemy types.

There are pieces of walls that sparkle if an explosion goes off anywere in the room (you shoot a tnt barrel, you drop a bomb, you have a bomb-thrower throw a bomb, have a charging enemy run into a wall, etc). After while you can kinda guess where secret rooms are going to be, there's always 2 per level unless you have the Adventurers Hat relic in which case there are 3.

Spent ages unlocking and saving for Mastercrafted Armor in Xcom:CS and one agent's set randomly vanished after my first mission with it. I thought it was going to give another utility slot too, so either that's also bugged or the tooltip is poorly worded  Found a mod which is meant to fix this, so hopefully I get it back next session.

Man, it's astounding how much better the Far Cry 5 storyline is with New Dawn. It actually gives it a chance to breath and commit to what it's doing, without kicking the player in the gut at the "end", because New Dawn lets you actually finish saving the region. It's also really funny to be black lady Jesus slaughtering hordes of weird cultists now that they've confirmed that plotline vis a vis New Dawn. Why yes, the reincarnation of Jesus Christ is a black woman wearing a shirt that says Testy Festy on it.
