Pvt. Parts posted:What is *the* game to play online with friends who are core/hardcore gamers these days? Other than CS2? valorant's probably near the top of the heap still popularity-wise, although you're gonna get a very similar experience to CSGO2, so it's mostly up to a matter of which fits your aesthetics better other than that, league is still absurdly popular with a strong competitive scene and monthly tournaments that you can sign up for with a full team of 5 friends, and i assume apex and warzone are still going strong if you're interested in more standard gunplay instead of another tactical shooter

^^$33 usd for ps5 on Amazon, which is a rough price given that the RE4 remake is at that same price tag. I’m nearly at the end of Paper Mario Origami King, and I think other than some pretty shaky combat mechanics and phoned in elemental levels, this definitely counts as a Paper Mario. Certainly as much as Super did if nothing else. Legitimately funny and really good music. Your Uncle Dracula fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Sep 30, 2023 |

I hope they don't release a free version of the game that strips out all MMO aspects and makes it only a single player game that doesn't require involving other players. Oh no, that would be awful, oh dear.

Hyperlight Driftercore until someone comes up with something better The puzzles are weird because unlike the previous two games they’re not based on anything remotely anchored to reality, I’m just drifting through pathways barely having a grasp of anything that’s going on. Dream logic puzzles.

I'm not sure how far you're in but I also have "three balls" in Cocoon and for me at least it's a really great sweet spot of difficulty. I haven't entirely breezed through - I'm engaged and having to think - but I've never been completely stuck/frustrated and needed to look anything up. The world is mysterious and ambiguous but the game does a great job of scaffolding how certain "rules" of the world work without a formal tutorial or even text.

Oh no, that would be awful, oh dear. you can literally go through the entire msq and the only time you would ever have to interact with other players is for 8 man story trials (an instance with a single boss inside it) and i guarantee you the players there will not seem any different than the npcs you had been running dungeons with already. you can ignore the fact they're even there unless you're a healer i guess. just dodge aoes and kill the boss correction you would also have to do the 24 man crystal tower raids but those are even more of a braindead experience

Why not? It's MMO-ness is on a sliding scale which seems ideal imo. It's as much an MMO for ppl who want it to be and its barely an MMO for the ppl that don't. Perfect for everyone

It's also worth noting that for the most part the main quest is a visual novel with the occasional dungeon.

What's that FF14 boss I've seen that basically smashes a hole through reality, and then a giant whale or something flies out? Always thought that design was neat.

I've been wondering something as of late: do goons have any discord servers for, like, casual gatherings and gaming? Been feeling down and missing gaming with people, and none of my IRL friends are into it. I doubt I want to go into MMOs again and just find people, I'd rather hang out with someone and play Jackbox or any other multiplayer game that seems cool.

Their keyboards and mice (Suora my beloved) were super nice and lasted ages. After Turtle Beach took them over they basically became their budget brand and everything was cheap poo poo. I have a pair of their headphones and while they sound alright they are the worst made set I own and creak like crazy whenever you move your head.

Pvt. Parts posted:What is *the* game to play online with friends who are core/hardcore gamers these days? Other than CS2? I mean what is your definition of "hardcore gamers". There's a bunch of co-op or pvp games out that require significant personal skill and practice to execute along with applying yourself to understand the knowledge and macro the game requires. Also requiring actual teamwork. Really though anyone who self describes themselves as a hardcore gamer is probably not worth playing with imo.

Infinitum posted:It's all paired together. Agree the campaign was decent and if you like comic book stuff then it was worth it, the thing that sucks is that because of the GaaS stuff they dont give you all the time in the campaign to unlock all the toys for the characters, some characters you barely play, and it's too bad because once you unlock some stuff some characters play way better and are a lot of fun. It's Batman Arkham-like combat, so it's familiar, but I think it gave a good feel how different characters play; flying around as Iron Man, or doing a lot of area of effect smashing as Hulk. Real shame they didnt get to focus on just a singleplayer game, I think it couldve been great but at least what's there was fun to run through. The few times I got to play multiplayer with a full group was really cool, too bad they hosed that up too with no drop in/out and also buggy as heck.

StrixNebulosa posted:https://www.gamesradar.com/goldenjoystickawards/ I think that's one of the SSDs that lists as fast enough to be compatible with the PS5 so you can run games from it? It's a bit of of a stretch I suppose, but I guess it counts. Though if it's in there, they should also include those weird propriety SSD modules the Series S/X use (maybe it is, I haven't looked!)
