I've played a ton of pubg but exclusively with 2-4 friends, wouldn't touch it otherwise. We play deep rock galactic now or more likely chat while playing separate rimworld games. I like survival stuff in theory in games but it's usually really tedious and boring when it shows up, and is almost always attached to a crafting system. If it can be designed in a way that's not just 'different meters you have to keep in the green by clicking on an item' I'd appreciate that. I miss decent drunkenness filters in games. Deep rock actually has a great one and it reminded me of playing the og deus ex and making the screen unreadable by drinking a dozen forties. Most recent games that include the function have it be pretty temporary and lackluster Edit: subs are better bc if you don't speak the language you can't tell how stilted the actors sound

Hahaha, I have no idea if I've ever even seen an arcade in Perth but if it helps when I was 3 I burst into tears when my folks took me to Codonas in Aberdeen Rutibex posted:diablo 3 is a waste of time. Hades is the perfect ARPG for casuals, and Path of Exile is the perfect ARPG for true gamers. I can't describe what I found so off putting about Path of Exhile - everything suggested I would love it - it felt quite slow I suppose and the art style was way too dark and gothic in away that doesn't appeal to me. Also it was free so its clearly trash. Even my ARPG loving friend who unironically wants to play Baldurs Gate; Dark Alliance in TYOL 2021 thought it was boring. Rutibex posted:just play minecraft, we know thats what you really want. its ok i wont tell anyone your playing as kids game, we understand I kinda do want to play Minecraft but also it's been like 10 years and they've probably added a bunch of stuff I don't understand. Do people still play Minecraft? hawowanlawow posted:pubg never had crafting, it's just a shooter I kinda realised this as soon as I posted it but from what I watched of rust it basically seemed like pubg but instead of "dropping from a plane" its "hit people with rocks and gather enough wood to make a pistol" - the end goals the same and thats why they are trash.

PoE is good, but you have to follow a build guide if you want to have a decent character. I've been doing an Inquisitor Storm Brand build and it melts everything in its path. The game has hundreds of skills that can all interact with each other so you have to enjoy trying to break the game to really enjoy it imo.

I paid less attention to the gigantic big titty goth lady than chris redfield being an absolute unit all the sudden https://twitter.com/unrooolie/status/1271205034110275585 3D Megadoodoo posted:They're obviously not PCs as they are meant for the whole family to enjoy, with built-in support for multiple simultaneous users. PCs can do that too though, you just need to buy controllers like you would with a console. My computer has like ten usb ports, and I can turn one usb port into 6 usb ports with a splitter. This is a discussion that will never really end because people want to justify consoles and they do have some benefits. Once you're accustomed to the freedom of the PC though, it's hard to imagine going back. The only thing that REMOTELY tempts me is the Playstation exclusives, that's a good marketing strategy they've built, but I'm also patient and believe many of these games will be available on PC eventually, so they can wring more money out of the same work. Individual games don't excite me so much that I'd be tempted, I already have way more games than I could ever play through in a lifetime. Rutibex posted:diablo 3 is a waste of time. Hades is the perfect ARPG for casuals, and Path of Exile is the perfect ARPG for true gamers. I don't even get these comparisons at all. Hades is not an ARPG, it's more of a roguelite beat em up. And Path of Exile/Diablo 3 are crappy, mixmax online garbage where the only challenge is how many hours of your life you're willing to pour down the drain. The fighting in Hades is not SUPER complex but it's fast and kinetic and can be as challenging as you want it to be depending on HEAT settings. The five weapons all play differently enough, which was awesome, and the enemies are varied and pretty. I admittedly started getting bored after beating Hades a few times, but I still probably put in a good 20 hours into the game, which is a lot for me.

It would be way better if MP was just tacked on as an afterthought like in a good ARPG. Of course then they'd have needed a different business model.

PoE wa designed from the ground up to have orbs that can either be used to craft high level items or be traded as currency It's the only ARPG trading system that actually works, and actually let's you trade with other players without grinding for some kind of de facto currency item, and it's a big part of the reason it is the greatest ARPG that ever was or probably ever will be

MrQueasy posted:Hades is similar in feel to Binding of Isaac, but I'm not embarrassed to play it with my mom watching. this is so loving absurd i have to instantly slam reply an angry rant in response. Hades is nothing like Binding of Issac, Issac has variable builds, it has a thousand different items which interact in unique ways, it's got a level design which although random managed to feel designed, its got multiple characters with different stats which influence how you have to play the game, its got cards, trinkets, active items, passive items, you can play a run in issac and be super overpowered by the 3rd level or you can be super hosed with items and end up having to rely on skill. Hades has 5 weapons and you could beat it by closing your eyes and dashing through everything with its inbuilt god mode enabled. I'll give you the aesthetic of Issac are cringier than Hades but as a game, it SHITS all over Hades, utterly shits on it, Issac is a loving fantastic game with an enormous amount of depth and longevity. Hades is loving trash in comparison

Caesar Saladin posted:I know it was just a side comment about Hades but for real, Kojima designed Metal Gear Solid level layouts with lego in his office, he's obviously a serious game designer and the whole movie director thing is super silly. Maybe he should have learned how to use a computer for these things, it just makes him seen like more of an out of touch weirdo that passes down vague instructions and then other people make a good game Doesn't know how to do computer aided design Doesn't speak the language of the culture he's obsessed with Took until MGS3.5 to say "hey maybe you should be able to swing the camera around in my 3d game" Took until MGS4 to say "hey let's use the agreed upon control scheme for when you're playing as a man that shoots" I don't think he understands anything about video games

the "god mode" in Hades doesn't make you invulnerable it just gives you like 25% more armor or something but there wouldnt be anything wrong with it even if it did make you invulnerable

You never have to type an actual word, the most I've ever seen anyone say is t4t or, you can use the currency you find to craft your own items and play it solo, like many people do. there's a solo self found leaderboard every league and some of the best and most powerful players play hardcore SSF

At the base, 20% sounds like easy mode but not comically easy. Without having played the game, I'd imagine that 50% damage reduction is around when even a very casual player would find the game Pretty Dang Easy. That means a casual died 15 times to get there. Hell they probably quit by that point lol. Works for me. Also I really don't see the point in a full "you really cannot lose" setting. At that point there is no game. You may as well just watch a playthrough on youtube. Unless it's very heavy on the narrative choice, a game that you cannot lose is just a movie.

Maybe I'm just bad at video games, but each of the alternate weapon versions combined with the Daedalus mods change my play-style and boon selections. Hell, there are some boon combos that just break the game (The Lightning Rod Artemis+Zeus duo boon is basically an auto-win button).
