Phlegmish posted:I took a look at Euro Truck Simulator 2 out of curiosity, and it has a whopping 526,033 reviews, with a score of 97%. I assume this is because the entire population of Germany bought it, but that's still wildly more popular than I was expecting Euro Truck Sim 2 and American Truck Sim might be the ideal podcast games. They're extremely good at delivering on the promise of driving on highways and delivering cargo for long stretches of time. Then there's neat stuff like how as you get more money you can start your own company, hire drivers, and basically have a low-key management sim running in the background as you keep driving. Would rec if you want to be chill.

I am probably not the person to ask as I've only played one, and that was because a friend pushed me into it, but I am genuinely enjoying PUBG for these reasons: Oh I forgot this went free, will download it. Sounds my type of game. ScootsMcSkirt posted:no joke, Fortnite No-Build mode is the perfect one to start with Ya I think I played Fortnite with the build mode and didn't play too much to learn everything. How does Apex Legends fit into this? is that only good if you have friends to play with?

apex is good but it only offers duos and trios, so if you don't have anyone else to play with you will have to subject yourself to randoms fortnite and PUBG allow you to play solo

PUBG is still a really good BR and lots of people play so there's a good pool. I think the new warzone launches today or tomorrow as well. Never been a big fan of warzone though.

No build fortnite for sure. Game's a blast, IAP's are all entirely cosmetic and the game itself is very fun to play without the pressure of having to build poo poo quickly every time you get into a confrontation.

i never got along with warzone because the loadout system is a stealth P2W mechanic, as it's dramatically easier to unlock stuff in the full version of COD and that progression carries over to warzone the other big BRs have little to no progression treadmill that affects gameplay

Imo Fortnite is much quicker to get in and out of vs warzone. Warzone felt like it could take ages to either find someone or you die quick Af and it takes forever to get back into a game.

It's dull when people need to tell everyone in the thread that they hate said game, or upcoming game is gonna suck. No one cares. The world sucks enough as it is right now. Try to find and highlight the good things about our hobby/escape. Absolutely a banner year for good games. I started playing Mario Wonder last night for the first time and I was grinning the entire time. Just an absolute treat so far.

thats basically the core why I still love Rockstar SP games. Their incredible detailed world building, animations, overall design. It's always great to just enjoy the world almost regardless of liking story or characters as such. The way they're done just technically is always amazing.

And if you're a fan of the Vampire Survivor genre there's quite a few that are all vying for the top spot like Halls of Torment... And if you're counting early access games then we have stuff like Balatro... Superb A++++++++ year for games!

MarcusSA posted:Imo Fortnite is much quicker to get in and out of vs warzone. Warzone felt like it could take ages to either find someone or you die quick Af and it takes forever to get back into a game. Something is different about the guns in Warzone vs Battlefield 2042 that makes me terrible at the former but at least "slightly above average" at the latter (I'd say that I have a >50% chance of winning any infantry encounters in BF2042, while it's more like <20% in Warzone). It's hard to put my finger on what it is, though. It feels like my TTK against enemies in Warzone (where it feels like I can sometimes unload most of a magazine into a guy without them dying) is just way higher than it is in BF2042, but that their TTK against me is almost the same. Are the guns in Warzone maybe less balanced and I'm just choosing badly? There are only two clear mechanical differences I've identified, but they don't seem to fully explain the gap in performance: 1. Automatic guns generally seem a lot more stable/accurate in Warzone. I can laser guys with an SMG from very far away. 2. Any sort of long-range scoped gun is very hard for me to use in Warzone, because the gun's recoil prevents me from seeing where the shot went. This eliminates one of my two most common gameplay types in BF2042 (marksman rifles).

Since they’ve both come up today, I remember back in 2015 or whatever thinking someone should make a multiplayer thing combining Farm Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator. One person grows the crops, the other drives it to BigCity01 to sell it.

Maybe ask the DCS people if they moonlight in Farming Simulator sometimes? Also, how can 2023 be bad when we're getting more Vampire Survivors content... *checks watch* tomorrow!

Ytlaya posted:Something about Steam Big Picture mode has been hosed up for a while now. It's just constantly running into weird bugs, even after I did a full reinstall. Among the issues I've run into I have no advice but I have also found that sometimes it just doesn't want to switch to big picture. It's like a 25% success rate on the controller home button actually doing it like it's supposed to. Even when clicking the menu with the mouse it still might just decide to do nothing. Sometimes I give up and use the controller to navigate regular mode instead.
