Fruits of the sea posted:Does Hades have a happy ending or at least some sort of resolution? I've escaped a couple times and it's just heartbreakingly sad. Yes, actually! Pretty much exactly that, the characters have a bunch of their conflicts hashed out in a mostly adult manner. (I don't know what the above poster is talking about with "bittersweet", maybe because Zag doesn't go on endless adventures with his new human friends while eating ice cream all day or something?) edit: I think it's called the "epilogue" or something, involves scrolling credits, so you'll know it when you see it.

ymgve posted:VVVVVV still not enough if you suck at the game Depends how much you suck at the game, but Hades isn't the most balls-out difficult game in the world. The game has built in optional extra difficulty with the heat settings. A 40% reduction in damage is going to help out immensely if you are mostly competent.

I mean souls games are very very slow, yours and enemy animation always have tens, some times hundreds of frames between them (and the bosses that break those rules like Pontiff Sullivan are rightfully called out for being bullshit!)

I feel weird about the latest update about Factorio's upcoming expansion as it seems to be a lot of "we found a way for you to have fun, so we removed it  "quote:With the cargo bay extenders, can't we use the one big inventory as a teleport? and then finally I feel REALLY weird about changing the entire endgame goal - for 10 years it's been "to win factorio vanilla, launch a rocket, this is a huge epic undertaking that feels amazing to achieve" now it's... quote:If blue science leads to rockets do we get advanced stuff like low density structure and rocket control unit earlier, or are rockets different?

Sininu posted:Of course the goal will be different when so much of the expansion is about doing stuff in space and other planets. Well yeah, but I wish they had gone "you know how launch lots of rockets is a challenge? We've incentivized that and added new tools to enable that", thus preserving the original goal of the game. This feels completely different in ways that are simultaneously exciting and really worrying.

For one, keep in mind that this is the team that produced a strong contender for the best designed game of all time. Have some faith. For another, using rockets to build space platforms and travel to other planets was always a design goal for Factorio, just one they put aside in order to be able to properly polish and release the game. There are also mods that implement this and provide some baseline data for how players have interacted with it. For another, I recommend you read all the blogs they have put out since they announce the expansion. There are numerous new demands that will force you to scale up your factory, and corresponding new features to make scaling up easier like in the base game phases. Scaling down the cost of rocket launches let's them keep rocket deliveries relatively granular without forcing you to build a megabase just to start interacting with expansion content. It also introduces more choices about what technologies to chase and when.

Have some faith. 1) No faith since they hired the one space mod guy (as an artist, but uhhhh I did not like how he balanced that mod, it was very player-hostile) 2) The rest of this post is valid and makes good points. I don't know yet if I like how they're changing things around, but.... hey. I am curious to see how it all fits together. Distrustful, but curious. Think of me as a wary feral cat who needs to be soothed with elevated trains.

Yeah dream light valley is really good. Even more so if you like Disney. It has a lot of content and runs great. I’d say it’s a solid $20 game but kinda a hard sell at $40 unless you really like Disney. The MTX stuff is a lot of cosmetics and so far they give a lot of the currency out while you play the game. It’s also not an online required game so I can play it on my steam deck and everything will sync up when I get an internet connection back. It’s also on gamepass if anyone wanted to try it.
