RE4 is so goddamn awesome, it’s my clear GOTY so far. (At least till the next Zelda comes out…)

The crafting system from 7 and 8 slots right on in and is great. Jewelry and treasures get a bit expanded. The merchant is even more hilarious and awesome. I have zero complaints. I’m not even upset at the new voice actors, if anything, they’re actually better in some cases.

I never played Dying Light 1, but 2 was real fun for me, I picked it up on a lark. The combat got real stale though, especially towards the end. The parkour is amazing and definitely the highlight. The story is absolutely the pure definition of “meh” though, for me at least.

Damning with faint praise lol

It’s a parkour game with middling to decent combat. It scratches the Mirror’s Edge itch which is why I liked it. It’s also like Diablo in a lot of ways with its loot system and “dungeons”.

Hello thread. My red Xbone controller that I’ve used with Steam for years is finally gettting weird and funky with button presses glitching. I’ve been looking for an excuse to replace it for a while now, any good recommendations? I’m not a fan of the PS5 controller, should I just get the latest Xbox controller? Is it worth splurging on their elite? (I don’t game competitively or anything.)

Yeah my Xbone One controller held up like a champ for the past 5 years, only now started getting wonky. I’ll probably just get the new one unless somebody wants to go to bat for an 8-bitdo or something else. Gonna stay away from an elite, don’t need those extra features.

It’s a great entry if you don’t have one yet. I can’t quite justify upgrading mine, but that does look sexy. May have to check the resale value, I’ve got the “premium” one from the original lineup.

I tried Call of the Wild yesterday, just wasn’t feeling it. It was too slow for me but I get that’s the entire point of the game, to be slow and deliberate and chill. Think I’m going to refund it, but I got another hour of playtime, maybe I’ll give it a second chance.

God, there are like five million farming games now. Does anyone have any recommendations?

- I loved RF4
- I didn't like Stardew's fast pace
- I like making fwiends with NPCs
- If there is combat, it has to be decent (Stardew's wasn't, incidentally)
- Modding a plus but not required

I guess My Time At Sandrock is the latest hotness in this genre? Sandrock, Harvestella and Dinkum all look good but I figured I'd ask. Apparently the latest Harvest Moon is actually good too?

Coral Island is the closest to a 1:1 Stardew clone right now. Just realize that even though it’s out of early access it’s still incomplete in areas from what other goons have said. But what’s there is pretty good. I’m holding off till they get some content patches down the line.

Squiggle posted:

Its...what?

Sandrock is the answer, its combat is better than stardew's but I really think hoping for decent combat out of any of these feels like wishful thinking.

A valid criticism of Stardew is how short the days last and how pressured the game makes you feel to min max your day. Some of the most popular mods are the ones the reduce the speed of the in game clock so you can get more done during the day. My counter argument to that has always been that there’s never any real penalty for not getting something done that can’t be made up the next day or at the worst, the next seasonal year.

The only real awful thing the game penalizes you for is dieing in the mines which randomly causes you to loose like 5-10 items in your inventory. You can only pay to retrieve one of them. Lots will mod that out too.

CP2077 question: The somewhat recent big update is independent from Phantom Liberty right? Or do I need the DLC for the 'full experience' or whatever?

Yes it’s independent, but yes you want both anyway. Pay up if you can, the game is good now and worth the cost.
