I said come in! posted:Mixed, my biggest issue with Horizon 5 is how much it wants to force its car festival vibes and characters on you, with endless voice dialog that you cant skip, and introducing you to new stuff. Once you get through all of that though then you are mostly good. You can also create your own races, and play races created by other players, and you get unlocks, rank ups, and money from this stuff too. The game is super generous in throwing cars at you for free. So much so that a lot of players actually feel like it cheapens the game because there’s nothing to really work towards. Sounding sorta what I'm after. Trying to convince the lads to join me in grabbing it while it's on sale. Subjunctive posted:so I am told that Tarkov devs decided to gently caress the players who were captured enough to pay $140 USD for “all future DLC”, by releasing a $250 version with a mode that the 140-dollar peasants don’t get Our extended friend group has a Discord server for the various games we play, and I got super interested in Tarkov as there was a couple of blokes that were playing it. Watched some videos, and it looked interesting enough that I'd been considering buying it the next time a wipe/sale happens. That new edition, with all the taxes included, is $436 AUD  Gives a bunch of Pay To Win stuff, which helps gently caress over any owners of the base editions, and offers effectively exclusive access to a new game mode. Absolute masterclass in how to instantly turn an entire community against the developers.

Jay Rust posted:Mummies are zombies Nah. Mummies are usually not able to turn you into a mummy too and tend to be more resistant to non-fire damage. They are both undead but zombies are clearly lower-tier, which is why you have to be careful not to throw toilet paper at a zombie lest it evolve.

I looked up Tarkov and I'm pretty surprised. It looked like any military shooting game. I knew it wasn't my thing so I never looked into it but for some reason I could've swore that it was a shooting and scavenging game but from an overhead perspective, mostly black and green, maybe ASCII or ASCII adjacent, and was some combo of zombie apocalypse roguelike and DayZ. Is that something else or did I just make up a game to fill in the blanks?

Yeah Zomboid looks more like what I was picturing, but not all apple ][ style black and green computer display style. I suppose you can just imagine any game you're not that familiar with to have those kind of graphics though.

It also kind of sounds like you could be describing ZERO Sievert, it’s overhead and a post apocalypse/extraction shooter although not as limited graphics-wise.

Decided to play through Ghost Trick, which I didn’t realise is a 14 year old game now. It still holds up: the characters are awesome although the puzzles are pretty easy so far. Shame there wasn’t a sequel that built on the ideas of the game though.

The opening to FF4 is loving wild. Cecil is actively a war criminal who not just participates in state violence but perpetuates its system throughout his troops. And when he gets removed from command for not murdering hard enough his response, rather than to denounce the unethical commands of his king, is to go do a genocide bomb in hope of getting his post back. And then - after being personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds - when he finally decides to break ranks he does so by kidnapping a child who's mum he just killed. How the gently caress did this guy end up the protagonist

Some later versions call it the "Carnelian Signet", but that's a TL flourish and the original name does literally translate as Bomb Ring.
