I saw a ResetEra thread on indies in August and I missed a few, here are some more (this will not be a detailed post like the other one btw) The Ramp (Aug 3) - A digital toy for skateboard fans (ie not a game with scoring/objectives)  Dreamscaper (Aug 5, Full Release, Likely $29.99) - I guess I forgot about this one because I don't personally care for roguelites but I remember people really liked the prologue demo a year ago.  Foreclosed (Aug 12, $19.99) - Stylish mix of action and comic book presentation and yes, it's more cyberpunk, this trend is not dying anytime soon.   Tetragon (Aug 12, $14.99) - One of those world rotatey puzzle games  The Plane Effect (Aug 12, $14.99) - One of those surreal dream logic story/puzzle games The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Jul 30, 2021 |

The Gripper posted:I bought The Ascent and I really, really don't like it. I think I expected it to be more ARPG-like but it feels - at least in the early game - much more tactical. I have some similar thoughts at least, first the bad things. BAD: First thing is the gameplay is alright but not that great. I was playing with controller, which at least makes aiming harder, but aiming doesn't have the responsiveness of a normal twin stick shooter. The cover mechanic (where you crouch next to cover and use the left trigger to aim high over it, protecting you from repisal) does kinda work but it's a bit awkward. You have to take your thumb off the aiming stick when you want to dodge roll or crouch which is unfortunate. I'm curious what anyone thinks about mouse and keyboard but if I have the option I will pretty much always use controller. For some reason my game wasn't allowing me to change the resolution, it was stuck in windowed fullscreen in a higher resolution than my monitor has. And worst of all, there is no FOV slider so when you are fighting enemies they are constantly attacking you from offscreen and there's no way to get a better view. One thing I really liked about Inquisitor: Martyr is that you can zoom out quite a bit, move the camera forward in relation to your character and use the middle mouse button to turn the camera whenever you want. With this game, the view is totally fixed from one angle with your character smack dab in the middle. Which probably makes sense for what they were trying to do but drat you just can't see enough during battle oftentimes. Basically you have to keep yourself close to the enemies but not too close. GOOD: That being said, for the positives man is it gorgeous, absolutely everything is modeled beautifully and I often would just stop and admire some stuff in the background for how awesome it looked. Constant motion and life, wonderful responsiveness to the character in the world. My 1060 ran everything at ultra and the framerate stayed high, so it's not ad demanding as I thought it might be. Probably because of the fixed view I assume? I like the setting, worldbuilding, story a lot so far. It's a very intriguing premise, not totally new but with some new touches. The guns/loot have been okay, but I've only managed to get a hold of about 5 different ones, hopefully they get cooler as I go along. The audio is fantastic, I was playing with headphones which I don't normally do and the voices / effects were incredible and created a very realistic and fitting tone. So far the positives are enough to keep me going, the world is so gorgeous and just begs to be explored and I'm curious about the story. Definitely some things I hope they work on and some that just didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

I wanna invite some friends to play some videogames, but I've never done local multiplayer on PC. Can I, for example, connect 1 PS4 controller and 2 PS3 controllers to my computer or do they all have to be the same type of controller?

Huh wait a minute, is Chernobylite good now? I glanced at reviews sometime last year which mostly went "Ehh, this thinks it's Stalker but it's mainly a subpar eurojank EA dumpster fire." But I heard a podcast cover it in glowing terms recently, and apparently the new canon is "As long as you realize it's not like Stalker, it's pretty fun"?

I'm now at 3 hours into Chernobylite and I'd say like a good 7/10 would probably be my rating so far. The combat sucks, but I just set that to easy and it's less of an issue. I'm getting really into the base building portion. I found the "Walls" section so now my little warehouse has a nice barracks area, a workshop, and a little chillout nook for a TV (TV yet to be constructed.) I'm not sure if it will be a very replayable game, it seems to lean heavily on the story side of things and that's still not fantastic, but again 3 hours in is probably not a great representation. The size of each level isn't too bad now that I've thoroughly explored them. It's not huge, but it gives you plenty to pilfer through and, it's hard to tell, but a pretty good distribution of random events and things like that. I don't know that it'd be an easy recommendation at full price, it's clearly somewhere between like indie/AA in terms of quality (typos, etc are still present even though it's out of early access), but I don't know that I'd say that it's bad.

I, uh, demoed The Ascent and while it technically might not have the best graphics ever, there's a strong argument that it has the most graphics ever. Every single scene is just so dense with detail, even the tutorial sewerish level is an awe to look at. The actual shooting and skilling seems real fun and meaty too, def gonna pick it up when I clear my coop backlog.

I assume it's got a 91% user review rating cause most of the people who played it were like me and went "okay this is boring but I'm not gonna bother negatively reviewing an unsuccessful game by a tiny indie developer." MMF Freeway posted:I think that guy is too late, didn't the NFT bubble already burst? That's kind of a complicated question to answer but NBA Top Shots is kicking along at about 25% of its peak volume by USD-equivalent of its currency and there's still horrifically ugly Cryptopunks being sold for millions of dollars as of... apparently today. Pretty much: The NFT bubble burst but there's still a lot of transactions happening between cryptocurrency nerds and people suckered in to the Top Shots stuff (unless they've all been scared off by their cards losing a large amount of value and most of what's left is cryptocurrency nerds who happen to also like NBA). Since the bubble a few months ago was likely just some big Ethereum holders trying to cash out money without devaluing the rest of their holdings, most of the NFT-minting companies were probably considered successful for their purpose and any longevity to those markets would have just been added earnings on top. You can expect NFTs to be a 'thing' on a semi-regular basis for the foreseeable future because creating an artificial speculation market with massive headline-grabbing sales (almost assuredly fake transactions between colluding cryptomillionaires) gets people who don't have any crypto holdings to spend their stable fiat currency to get in to that market thinking they can strike it rich, which lets people holding the currency cash out. This will remain a viable tactic for them unless news companies and other schmucks stop convincing regular people to buy in cause 'oh my god an nft someone bought for 200 dollars sold for 2 million!' I would like to note there's no room for tiny attempts to use NFTs for poo poo like 'dlc for an indie game' in that scheme. Count Uvula fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Jul 30, 2021 |

There's no reason for the gamepass version to be fundamentally different to the steam version, we think that a demand Microsoft probably put on gamepass is that the PC and XBOX versions must always be crossplay and cross-save compatible, which means that the pc gamepass version can never be a patch ahead of the xbox version.

I cant think of a single early access game thats been EA for 2+ years that wasn't a pile of poo poo or completely abandoned. It's always fun to check any early access games in your inventory and check when they last updated. I always wanted to like/play Nekro and owned it for years, but when I finally played it the whole game felt like a Warcraft 3 mod with a graphics upgrade.
