anyone here played Starlink? Is it any good?

It's fun in short bursts, because I hate excel spreadsheet games.

If you love excel spreadsheet games, you'll really like it.

But don't buy it until it's on sale. I got the huge StarFox bundle for $22 at Best Buy.

What's an excel spreadsheet game?

Monster Hunter World, Elite Dangerous, No Man's Sky, _____ Souls

poo poo where you grind for a thousand hours to get hundreds of different pieces to craft one item that is part of a tier of upgrades.

Games where playing them is basically the same thing as having a second job.

I don't think Dark Souls is one of those. Monster Hunter doesn't have to be one either, unless you want it to.

Also I literally used an Excel spreadsheet to map out the levels in La Mulana 2 :shobon:

I'm old and cranky. I like straightforward stuff like DOOM and Wolfenstein and Metroidvania.

Just give me my new gear. I don't want to fuss around in menus.

Breath of the Wild is about the extent of my patience for accounting simulators.

"You need 3 X parts to get the ninja outfit".

"Ok, those are over here. Be right back, lovely 40 foot tall drag queen."

Stuff like No Man's Sky where it takes a week of farming and resource management and crafting to put a new booster engine on your ship is my idea of gaming hell. Minecraft is literally what awaits me in hell. I know people love that stuff, and I'm not dragging them for liking it, but that is SO not my thing.

I just saw FF7 Redux in the shop and LMAO it's not updated at all, it's still blocks with jagged parts.

I figured after 15 years of people demanding it they'd at least make it look like the PS3 era games.

If those horrifying mobile ports of FF6 are any indication of what an update looks like I'd rather stick the the low res stuff.

Oh yeah, I mean, I love simple artwork stuff, too. I'm just kind of amazed that the most over hyped game in the industry, from a studio that loves jerking itself off over graphics, stuck with ultra-simplistic 90's polygon art.

Like I would have bet solid money on it looking at least like the new Resident Evil 2.

Breakable weapons owns because sometimes you're fighting a tough character and your final blow is also the one that breaks your weapon and it's really satisfying to see yourself hit a monster so hard with your axe that your axe explodes.

I kind of want to see Reggie go work at a mutual fund or insurance lobby and never get any laughs from the rich gargoyles in his press events. The only likable executive in America just slowly realizing it's the people and not the money that gave him joy.

99.9% of the thousands of pieces of loot the game throws at you every minute are worse than garbage and if you stop to look at every single one you will never actually be playing the game hth

This is the correct answer.

The only loot worth picking up is marked in red containers or has colorful auras.

loving lockers and toilets and boxes have like $13 in them which is basically a penny once you're past level 10.

Give me a dense world than a sparse open one anyday. It's why Yakuza's world is more fascinating than GTA maps.

This. Skyrim, GTA5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Metal Gear 5 have maps WAY bigger than they need to be.

Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the few BIG MAPS games where a long travel is a pain in the rear end because that means effort instead of boredom.

And Zelda BotW could have been twice as large and still felt majestic as gently caress to traverse.

If you can't tell apart 10 anime characters in goth armor from video games you've never played you should probably be executed for the good of humanity.

I mean just go to any public place in America and ask any random stranger "hey, who is Chrom?" and I guarantee you 10 out of 10 people will get it right.

Stop being disingenuous, Hodor. Everyone in America knows Chrom. Chrom is every bit as ubiquitous in pop culture as McDonald's and The Avengers. Saying otherwise is dumb.

IDK but the film was lambasted by horny nerds for cutting ScarJo's nude scene, it was sued for ripping off Clonus Horror, accounting for the theater cut and advertising it was a huge flop earning $162M on a $130M budget, and the funniest part was Bay recycled footage from it in Transformers 2.
