Pre-Timeskip Franky 
), the game does come with alternate costumes that put the Strawhats back in their pre-timeskip outfits, which I thought was a nice touch.

kazil posted:If the mystery and exploration doesn't grab you, you aren't going to like Outer Wilds I really liked the exploration but the way the game is constructed meant that I couldn't take my time actually exploring and absorbing details and looking through nooks and crannies. Then having to do it all again to "finish" the exploration is real unfun for me. I'm generally real bad with real time pressure though (as opposed to like, X Com complete in x turns time pressure), so this could just be a me thing.

my favorite thing about outer wilds was how when I started I was really careful about landing the ship and using the landing camera and stuff, and by the end I was basically playing Space Jackass

Phigs posted:If you're easily frustrated Outer Wilds is not a great game for that IMO. Seconding this. I pushed myself to finish it and it's definitely one of the most unique experiences I've had in years, but the number of times it had me screaming out loud at my monitor was frankly concerning. It also still had some nasty bugs when I played despite being a year out from launch, one of which permanently reduced my walk speed by something like 70%, I think because I died by hitting terrain at a weird angle. Fwoderwick posted:I somehow went through 95% of the game before noticing there was an autopilot you can use when locked on to something. On the off chance you've not noticed it yet, it will generally make traversal between planets simpler, but pootling about on them by ship will still be on you. I used the autopilot maybe about 16 times over the course of my run, and at least half of those resulted in hilariously catastrophic death by various improbable means. I think my favourite was when it steered me directly into the satellite, a close second is when I set course for the white hole and it got me there but just... didn't bother to slow down at all (there was a similar incident with the comet), and third place goes to when I had just barely broken atmosphere, set course for something directly above me, and the autopilot instead immediately applied full-force retro rockets. That one must have left an impressive crater. Every time I mention getting killed by the autopilot people immediately respond with "yeah you gotta make sure your target isn't on the other side of the sun, duh" but no, you don't understand, this thing genuinely hates me.

I'm really digging Like a Dragon so far. The background for Ichiban is interesting and I want to see where it goes, and the combat is fun and dynamic feeling because everybody's always shuffling around while you're deciding what to do. Looks fantastic maxed out in 4k too.

An exploration game where you need to solve mysteries but also have a strict time limit AND have the do the same thing over and over is sounding like something that will not appeal to me. But I'll give it a bit more of a shot and see.

You have plenty of time to explore once you adapt to the conceit and learn how to quickly and effectively get to places. Some things are gated behind events to be sure, but the process of change is something to discover and admire on its own.

If the mystery of the game isn't enough to get past some of the more frustrating mechanics than it just might not be for you.

I decided to reinstall Dragon Age: Inquisition. Whatever mod list I had my last run is lost to the fade. I know I had something that made looting less stressful and I generally enjoy mods like that (I get to satisfy my ADHD collection frenzy but with less clicking). Anyone got some favorite mods? Taking all suggestions, not just looting.kazil posted:I get the frustrations, for sure. The spaceship handles oddly and doing things on a timer can be stressful.

The annoyance from cliff racers comes down to two things: new players that get mobbed by them with a weapon skill that can't hit for poo poo, and mid- to late- game players that are trying to rest but can't because a racer is stuck on geometry somewhere nearby.

But I'll give it a bit more of a shot and see. I mean, exploration and mystery+puzzle solving is the entire game. It's best in class, with a story on par with the other greats of this generation. But if none of those sound like a game you're actually interested in playing then with complete sincerity I can honestly say this may not be a game for you. Elden Ring is a masterpiece but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who hates third person action combat and open world RPG exploration

But I'll give it a bit more of a shot and see. You shouldn't need to do most things twice, but that is largely up to luck and circumstance. The loop of Find Thing - Get Stuck - Go Elsewhere - Find Answer - Where Was the Thing - Why the gently caress Isn't it Waypointed - Finally Find it Again - Almost Done - Time Runs Out - GOD loving DAMNIT - Have to Wait For Specific Time-Based Event to Try Again - Completed Task Gets a Waypoint Now That it's Useless... is easily my #1 complaint about the game. #2 is when you figure out one of the more obtuse puzzles but don't execute the solution quite right, get zero feedback, and start looking for other solutions. It has some unmatched highs, absolutely, but you might have to push through some pronounced lows to get there.

Also, keep an eye out for shortcuts - there are a few spots where you'll spend 15 minutes working your way into a place and then discover a little crack in a rock leading outside or whatnot so you can jump straight back to where you were on the next loop.

Agent355 posted:Any cool roguelikes come out in the indie world recently? Like the traditional sort a la Dredmor or Dungeonmans. How out of date are you? -Caves of Qud is nearing the end of it's Early Access and is absolutely excellent, the only missing content is the final chapter of the quest. It has an overworld/village/item selling system so there's no real time clock, but the setting is outstanding and carries it. -Cogmind is a very traditional RL with a strict clock, which embraces the gimmick of all gear being breakable/disposable. Top notch production values. -Rift Wizard is loved by the community even if it leans closer to a puzzle game. The sprites are primitive, but the game is addictive, difficult-in-a-good-way, and very wide.

imo the time based constraints actually help Outer Wilds. If you miss a window to do a specific thing, then you go off to fly to some other planet and do some other task, it creates this ad-hoc feeling to the exploration. Sometimes your plans don't all go as you want them, that's the fun of exploring.

The only part of Outer Wilds I didn't like was the teleport thing at the very end that I felt didn't actually follow the rules the game had been teaching you all along.

- Love a game - "I want more in this niche genre!" - Look it up on steam - Congrats, you basically started with the literal best ones on steam. Everything else is not as good.
