Who are these freaks who replay games once you finish them? I don’t find joy in repeating a game faster, I find joy in discovery

There are certainly trap builds, like picking the knight class in DS1 and thinking fat rolling is just how rolling works in souls games. Or not knowing ADP is vital in DS2.

I guess I'm just an old man yelling at clouds because all of my complaints about video games basically boil down to "I don't like the way video games have evolved let's go back to 15 years ago"

question is, which year do you think 15 years ago is?

People who datamine secrets from video games are total losers. I feel like there are probably people who datamine and post stuff before even playing the game. What a lame rear end thing to do when everyone could find the secrets on their own and have fun figuring them out together.

What about datamining old games?

Talos Principle 1 and 2 is cool and good. Though I feel they reduced the difficulty in the sequel, I only really got stumped by a few bonus puzzles.

But it's always a balance in creating a puzzle game - you have to create something that the average player can complete and still feel smart for completing, go too far one way and it just feels like busywork, and go too far the other way and you end up with Snakebird.

Any Persona fans here?

I bought 5 but before I start it, is it better to hop in at an earlier game?

All the numbered games are unrelated, so hop right in. Did you buy it on Steam? I think people generally recommend Persona 5 Royal, so if you got the non-Royal version I'd refund and get the updated version.

You mean the very feature that made Unreal Tournament more popular over Quake in the year 1999 when people used 56k modems to connect to the internet from their workplace?

Wild!

Quake 3 also came out in 1999 and also had bots, not sure which was more popular though

In the FPS genre, my one qualm is that Prey (new Prey, not the older one) got sniped by lovely reviews on release and sort of buried it. It's the best game I've played in the last, like, 10 years. It's amazing.

I hope that a sort of "legacy" thing happens to it, it becomes a cult favorite, and they bring back production for a sequel.

Prey on Playstation had horrible horrible control lag, and it should get 5 of 10 on that platform just because of that. Prey on PC was wonderful, though.

That's the problem with only going by first impressions, because the thing that isn't immediately evident about Palworld is that the base automation, which directly integrates into the stolen borrowed Pokemon systems, massively reduces the usual grind that games like Ark and it's ilk suffer from.

At launch, it was not quite enough automation for me, as you still needed to manually transport materials between stations. Maybe it’s better now?
