HopperUK posted:It's the best of both worlds. You can interact with other people if you want and the atmosphere is pretty decent most of the time but you can ignore them if you want too. I love playing solo but in MMOs just because I enjoy seeing other people running around, but would rather not have to actually do things with them. can the game be played entirely offline yet?

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:can the game be played entirely offline yet? they are slowly adding NPC party members to every story-required dungeon - i think their goal is to have all of heavensward done by the next expansion, and then stormblood during that expansion's cycle - although you still have to do the 3-5 8 person trials every expansion has with real humans for the moment due to their complexity i think the intent is to eventually have the entire game be playable offline for when the servers inevitably switch off, but that's a very long term project, and i wouldn't expect a fully solo playable game until like, 5-6 years minimum

I'm not even sure xiv's will be going down ever lol. To echo everyone else, ffxiv can very much be a solo game with other people for help with bosses and as a solo guy for the most part, it's the best TheWorldsaStage fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Jan 8, 2023 |

though from stray ff14 conversations I've caught I'm at least above the lowest tier of rando player since while tanking I wasn't oblivious to the fact that attack debuffs and defense buffs both mitigate damage.

Alhazred posted:Finally finishing Ico thanks to PSN and I was struck by how modern it seemed. The lack of a hud, storytelling through game play (there's like 4 or 5 cutscenes in the entire game) and emphasis o puzzle solving rather than combat it plays like games like Inside or Portal. There's even a section of the game that feels like Portal 2 straight up plagiarized: You fall down into the underbelly of the main structure of the game and have to find a way up again. Ico remains firmly in the "Games I wish I could experience for the first time again after a total Eternal Sunshine-style memory wipe" camp, along with DS1, Sekiro, Earthbound, Shadow of the Colossus and #1 contender, Outer Wilds. Ico owns hard and everyone should play it.

So do Pokémon naturally evolve as they get older, or is that family forcing their Pokémon into battles

Quite a few years go by between each picture, that Gardevoir could have evolved from forcing stray Rattata out of the house.

Trying to get into Snowrunner and I don't seem to understand how to get the basic game loop off the ground. I finished the guided startup quest and now the only tasks I have listed are all contracts that require driving all over the map. The only trucks I have are one which can carry no cargo but mostly fumble its way through mud and one that can carry lots of cargo but gets instantly bogged down if it goes ten feet outside the garage. What am I supposed to be doing at this point?

What am I supposed to be doing at this point? I don't think there's a specific goal, but at least in my case I looked at the obstacles I'd encountered at that point and decided to just try opening up as many paths as possible like fixing bridges and fallen towers blocking roads and stuff. Just solving the areas problems in general. I like to think of it as sort of Death Stranding in the sense you're trying to make it as easy to get around as possible by learning best routes and creating shortcuts, and ultimately connecting the community back together.  e: You should have a small truck and a big truck by the end of the tutorial mission. The small truck is for scouting and can get places the big truck can't because it can accelerate faster and doesn't get stuck in mud as much due to being lighter, so use it to explore a little too and find those observation towers and hidden truck parts like tires that can handle mud better.

I was watching snippets of Ian Flynn's podcast, specifically stuff about Chaos and the Ancients, and yeah he outright confirms that Chaos IS still a mutated Chao, not the last Ancient, and their appearance and abilities are a result of their mutations. The ability to transform with the Emeralds wasn't something the Ancients themselves could do, Chaos' ability to use the Emeralds is part of their unique mutation. Hmmmm... So the Ancients, with just the Chaos Emeralds, could only use them through their technology. Even though these Emeralds are (maybe) native to their own planet. They lacked the ability to channel the Emeralds' power with their own bodies. But then, they move to Sonic's planet, and a group of them live next to the Master Emerald. And then, after tens of thousands of years, they evolve into a new species that can naturally use the Emeralds' power to an extent, as seen with the Chao being able to use Chaos Drives. And one unique individual amongst them can fully harness the power of the Emeralds, due to their Master-Emerald-induced mutations.

Weren't there multiple ancient civilizations that messed with chaos energy poo poo, like the ones Gerald studied that developed early robots like Emerl to harness their power?

I am thinking of replacing my Switch Pro Controller soon. Is the 8Bitdo Ultimate a good alternative or should I just get another Pro Controller?

I have the Ultimate and I think I prefer how the Pro controller feels in the hand and it’s face buttons, but the Ultimate has a better dpad and the sticks feel a bit tighter which I like. Do you have any complaints about the Pro controller specifically?
