Piss And Shittium posted:Downloaded SWTOR again. I normally get an itch for it every December. One of those cozy winter games. I also enjoy just logging in and chatting Star Wars on the in-game chat. Any fans about? I played through the story content for it last year and had a great time. It works fairly well as a single player rpg these days. There's a SWTOR thread somewhere in the MMO subforum if you're curious.

I use to be really hardcore into SWTOR. It still has its goon following too. Game is really good! Stopped though because I just felt like I exhausted all of the content, and new stuff was coming too slowly.

If XCom 2 is one of favourite games ever, will I enjoy Jagged Alliance 3?

Okay, so I was gonna get myself Jedi Survivor on Christmas while it's on sale, and I realized I got the holiday EGS coupon that would make it a smooth 23 bucks But I feel weird about actually buying a game on EGS lmao, my library there is entirely free games

Just in case, you were wondering what I disliked about Final Fantasy I Pixel Remaster, when I brought it up in the GOTY thread, it's this: "Enemies no longer cycle through their spell or skill lists or follow their gameplay scripts, instead randomly selecting any of their attacks each turn. This results in changes to game balance as enemies can choose to use the same spell or skills consecutively."

That's pretty wild, some boss moves seem like they should definitely not just happen randomly.

Chemtrailologist posted:If XCom 2 is one of favourite games ever, will I enjoy Jagged Alliance 3? I haven't played it but I'm in the same boat as you where I'm super interested because of it being similar to XCOM 2 but as an 80s action movie. Mortismal Gaming ranked it highly on his year end list fwiw, comparing it to XCOM 2.

They updated the Fortnite rhythm game. At launch there were four buttons. Now there are five. So all the songs have changed to be played with an extra button. This is the most hateful, antagonistic, misanthropic thing any video game company has ever done.

Gripweed posted:what's the story with this game? two brothers ran a company called fntastic that mostly put out bad-to-mediocre multiplayer games that were promptly abandoned. they eventually put out a trailer for The Day Before, which promised to be an open world survival zombie game that had very promising looking aesthetics and gameplay, leading to it becoming the most wishlisted game on steam. they then promptly faffed about for several years without showing anything substantive, got into a hilarious snafu where they didn't copyright the name of their game and had it disputed in court by some korean guy who had a calendar app of the same name, rugpulled a supposed gameplay reveal trailer to instead promote one of their other games, Propnight (a cartoony DBD clone), and then dumped what was clearly an asset flip on the store to try and make a quick buck off peoples' hopes and dreams and skip town they were an insanely shady racket that had their listed office in signapore for tax purposes and claimed to run off of "volunteers," which was a clear attempt at a legal dodge + scam, as they mentioned on their website that they had "volunteer compensation" program for certain volunteers. i don't think the actual game-as-such was ever real, so the drop was most likely an attempt to cash out and flee the scene while no one was looking

Anyone have any gaming resolutions for 2024? I’m think I’m going to try to make it a year of second looks for games that are acclaimed but that I bounced off of or under-appreciated: Nier Automata, Undertale, Monster Hunter World being the main three but I’m sure I’ll think of others. I’m also going to finally start letting myself get some new releases instead of only buying one game a year and spending the rest of the time playing backlog games. Not that I won’t play the backlog, but I want to be part of the zeitgeist a little after missing it with so many huge games over the last few years.

I think the only real resolution I have is "write more about the games I'm playing". I started a thread in PMF to track my gaming this year and while it's done a pretty admirable job of tracking the stuff that I played, the other thing I had planned to use it to organise was writeups of stuff that I was playing but I fell off of that pretty quickly.
