John Murdoch posted:Supraland Crash is such a bummer. I knew going in it wasn't going to be as good as the base game, but it's worse in an almost scientifically precise way where every aspect is exactly 65% worse across the board. On a positive note, Six Inches Under is just as good and possibly even slightly better than the base game.

Bad Seafood posted:How does the Steam port of Dwarf Fortress run? I vaguely recall the OG version giving some people a lot of trouble, even though it's all displayed in ACSI graphics, due to how much stuff it had to process in the background. I assume about the same, since the new graphics is just 2D stuff and not very demanding.

With DS2 they made bonfire warping much more powerful, which is good from a gameplay perspective (apart from the gotta warp to level up part), but that meant they didn’t need to make the overall game world a tight knot, which meant less major shortcuts and a more «flat» world feel. DS3 and Bloodborne were a bit better but the worlds were still more spread out than DS1.

RandomBlue posted:I do not actually think you're a psycho and I understand what you wrote just fine, the weirdly hostile part was a joke. I don't like when games don't respect my time and IMO it's not fun to walk/run/drive the same path 50 times instead of being able to fast travel once I've travelled there already. Though for an RPG I kinda like a chance at random encounters when fast travelling. I think you misunderstand - in Oblivion, you can fast travel to any city on the map as soon as you're done with the tutorial. John Murdoch played the game instead as if they could only fast travel to those places after first going there by foot, like any other non-city map marker in Oblivion. They didn't drop fast travel completely. (That reminds me, do the wagons outside cities in Skyrim allow you to travel to any city from the start, or only cities you have visited?)

Phigs posted:I feel like playtesters should have access to a video lets play they can load up if they get stuck because that's the actual real world conditions. The real test should be whether the player likes the game enough to hit up the walkthrough or if they're just done the moment they get stuck, and how they feel after having seen how to do it in the walkthrough. pretty sure playtesters get told exactly what to do if they repeatedly get stuck, it is their job to test the full game after all

Maybe the tester thought there had to be something down the left path, because if not why was it there? So they had to triple check if they missed anything

Played a bit of a metroidvania called Vision Soft Reset, and despite the good reviews, I'm getting exhausted by it. The main character is way too weak, and the one boss I've encountered so far took like 30 tries. And now I got an upgrade wall running that seems to not work 50% of the time. Interesting concept for the game, though.

How do you even see how much GenMat you have in Meet Your Maker? The intervals at which I'm asked to upgrade the horrible biomutant seems odd and arbitrary. Also the game is no fun at the start when you have no counter to the "half a dozen grunts next to each other" levels.

Planet Crafter is getting an update next week so I'll play through it again then! Also, Raft technically has constant base attacks, but they are so often you get used to them, and after a certain upgrade they become a complete non-issue.

Played a bit of Ctrl Alt Ego during the weekend. I saw some people claim it was the best immersive sim in years, which I guess just means that immersive sims are a starved genre. It's...fine. The controls are floaty and the physics janky, and the "approach any way you want" gameplay seems to only give one or two options most of the time. Hacking and taking over enemy robots requires you to spend your most precious resource, which means that straight up combat is the most economic way to get through things, especially if you get the upgrade that turns scrap into ammo. Stealth is bad, mostly because of the aforementioned bad physics. I can't count the number of times I've teleported into a camera or something, and then got an alert an enemy attacked my main robot, because the robot continued sliding across the floor after I teleported out of it. It's still an OK experience, but I'd suggest getting it on sale.

System Shock Remake was supposed to start its closed beta today - and instead of giving each individual a single key, they somehow managed to upload a list of every single beta key to everyone. They quickly revoked all the keys, so now everyone is keyless again.
