Galaga Galaxian posted:Hunter is good and pretty. Excellent Nature Walking sim where sometimes you can, if you want, shoot an animal (with a gun or maybe a camera). Is there anything else to do but walking around? Like a meaty single player campaign, collecting resources/cash, a skill tree, building your own pretty lodge? I know nothing about this game but it looks weirdly intriguing.

Snake Maze posted:The game itself is just raw dungeon crawling, unadulterated by any "story" or "environments". There's math puzzles because the devs wanted some math puzzles. It is pushing my buttons in the good ways but I think that says more about me than the game. It's extremely bare bones and doesn't have a whole lot to engage with. But I"m watching pro dota while I play and it's perfect for that.

Hub Cat posted:The DLC isn't necessary in the slightest. Some of the equipment is nice to have for certain styles of hunting but otherwise completely skippable except maybe ATVs and tents which are frequently on sale. The base game comes with 2 fairly large maps and something like 16 species of animals so the extra maps aren't really necessary but they are decently made and fairly inexpensive. A lodge is necessary if you want to save trophies. Good info. Ta. I'll grab it for a buck and hold off on the DLC for now.

sauer kraut posted:Is there anything else to do but walking around? Like a meaty single player campaign, collecting resources/cash, a skill tree, building your own pretty lodge? Yes to all of that. "Campaign" might be a strong word but every location does have a series of storyline quests, usually about helping the warden deal with some sort of crisis in the reserve.

Each reserve has a loose storyline with missions from various characters, usually you're a new warden or a professional hunter brought in to deal with various things. You get cash from harvesting animals that you can use to purchase equipment and supplies. There is a skill tree with various things like making you slightly quieter, the guns swaying less, better estimates on the score value of an animal, etc. There are DLC hunting lodges, you don't really build them though besides filling them full of trophies you've harvested.

Junkie Disease posted:Uh what? The game calls killing animals and collecting your kill “harvesting” cause that is what you, as a professional hunter, are doing. Within the context of the missions when you’re shooting animals you’re typically not hunting in the reserve for sport, you’re conducting population control, collecting a sample for testing, and sometimes even just gathering food for the local population. Ofc from a gameplay perspective you’re just blasting animals and are free to ignore missions and just wander around shooting anything you find. However, like I said, it takes a very respectful, “moral” approach to hunting and encourages that via mechanics. You’re penalized for needless cruelty like shooting an animal more than twice or using too large/small a caliber weapon (no killing a Buffalo via shooting it dozens of times with a .22 and no vaporizing a hare with a .50cal musketball), or not hitting a vital organ (heart,lungs, liver, which ensures a swifts death with a minimum of suffering) or for damaging the “trophy organs” (which in most species means no headshots (the brain isn’t considered a vital organ by the scoring system anyways, IRL headshots are far more likely to cause a horrible wound that takes days to die from than an instant kill). You also get penalized for killing an animal and NOT collecting it. There is also "Hunting Pressure" where killing animals in a small area will cause a purple-reddish splotch to appear on the map, if the splotch gets too bright (typically 3-4 kills) animals will start to avoid that area and all the "need zones" in that area will be erased, changing animal behavior. Need zones are very useful for knowing the habits of animals and where to find them at certain times so this can be quite the penalty depending on your style of hunting. To remove the hunting pressure you simply need to go hunt elsewhere in the reserve.   Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Oct 16, 2021 |

It's the Far Cry of hunting sims and I mean that in the best way possible. There's just a ton to do all over the map and lots of different viable ways to do it (build a perch and wait all day for animals to come by, slowly and meticulously track them, use calls and scents to bring them to you, etc). I'm not into hunting as an IRL concept but it's a fun as heck game.

For the people buying theHunter I'd recommend choosing one map and sticking to it for a good while. Layton Lakes is often recommended, I've started out on Hirschfelden (they're the two base game maps.) Sure, check out the others, but doing your levelling up getting to know one map (they're fairly big maps) will see you much better in the long run. It's possible to figure out some of the systems in a min/max way. Like driving around on an ATV discovering everything for your first couple of days, discovering where and what times the animals eat and drink, and then targeting that. I find slowly making your away around, discovering things naturally to be far more rewarding. Targeting "need zones" is really the "end game" kind of strategy where you want to get rare and diamond kills (there's a scoring system much like the real world based on size of the animal, complexity of their specific features, etc.) but the game, for me, is extremely enjoyable if you're not trying to be completely efficient and go through the highs and lows almost roleplaying it all. The point I'll make about that is that your first big kill after you've tracked some animal you really wanted down for 30 minutes at the beginning of the game is just as big a deal as the "end game" stuff. It's really well tiered in that the challenges you face, by setting them yourself, are as rewarding at the beginning as further into the game.

Riftbreaker - Am I doing something wrong? I'm at the point where I'm supposed to be upgrading my HQ and my ironium production is horrible despite having like 5 collection centers and a whole bunch of windmills + solar panels for energy. Feels like the resource acquisition is taking forever.

Are there any recommendations for tower defence type games? I have Defence Grid 1/2 and really like them. Also have Kingdom Rush which I quite like, but find a little frustrating that it doesn't have a quick rewind-type of thing like Defence Grid.

The Riftbreaker just came out and it's like a Tower Defense/Factorio-lite type game. There's also X-Morph: Defense, in which you play as an alien invader fighting off the military.

Literally every single time I've seen someone (myself included) go through the "wait could someone slowly and patiently explain NFTs to me because this poo poo sounds like complete nonsense, they're not really just yadda yadda scam???" the immediate response is "you seem to understand them perfectly, actually". People seem to struggle because the premise sounds incomplete and when they ask "and then what" they expect there to be an answer and not crickets chirping. It's like insane people saw those stories of people selling their weird looking Dorito chip on eBay for a thousand dollars and completely misunderstood and started digging around in their pockets and screaming "I've got some pocket lint! One of a kind! Somebody wants to buy this, right? Right??"

Defender's Quest is also good I'm a bit meh on Riftbreaker. It's a slick game, but some things (Weather that damages your base, a sudden difficulty spike out of nowhere that is forcing me to restart and replan after 10 hours) made me dislike the game. Also others have encountered scripting/save game bugs, which makes it sound like the game should have had an Early Access period.

Riftbreaker is good fun but I hate the time gated progression. Having to wait 5 minutes for the orbital scanner to build?? Why? I gathered the resources, just build it. And there's not much point in me exploring and grabbing more resources because I'm sitting on 10k each without much use for it.
