I don't get the other comments, this isn't something unusual or praiseworthy, TF2 has been getting these "updates" consisting of a new lootbox + community maps of dubious quality, consistently for years

Very reasonable, I hope the dev sticks to his guns and keeps a manageable pace. I feel that it's right to expect content updates coming in if the game is marked early access, but so long as you don't pull a Valheim, people shouldn't be mad at you

"A preliminary investigation indicates Kang knew the victim only online, having met him playing a fantasy video game called ArcheAge. According to the game's website, it is shutting down its North America and European servers this week because of a declining number of users. "

No wonder they don't have players left, this dude beat them all to death

Artisan TD, a classic tower defense game. I quit after the second map. It's not that it's bad, it just didn't grab my attention, doesn't seem to have anything unique going for it besides maybe the pretty visuals. There are dozens of games exactly like this one. As a fan of the genre, I might check it out after release if it's on a large sale.

Level Zero: Extraction, a PvP extraction shooter with the option of playing as the horror creature team that's out to kill everyone. Basically unplayable, not sure what the server situation is but playing from europe I had consistent 0.5sec-1sec delay on all actions. No comment since I couldn't really experience it.

Let's Minesweeper, a massively multiplayer game of Minesweeper. Not sure what I expected of this one, it's exactly what it says it is, you load into a huge map of minesweeper and clear it out for score and xp which translates into bragging rights and cosmetics (?). Unique experience and could be fun if you are the type of person who enjoys zoning out at minesweeper for an hour.

Mortal online 2

I got my fix for this experience through PvP minecraft servers, but not sure if any are still around today that are worth playing

Enderal, a total conversion mod for Skyrim. Free, just requires ownership of the skyrim base game or special edition (there's a version for either).

Has a whole new map, reworked classes, changes to combat, banger OST (here's my favorite, hits incredibly hard when you're listening to it in-game at a tavern) and the story is just incredible. I still think about it, and the choices I made, years later. Dozens of hours long, moreso if you are a completionist.

Feel lost still, very much miss the population on reddit. I browsed a lot of gaming subreddits, and the ones with dozens of daily posts there get maybe one per month(!) on their lemmy equivalent, and more niche subs don't even exist here. It sucks. Yes, I try to make posts, but I alone wont change things.

Dont use reddit for entertainment but still have to use it for tech support or product reviews, there is 0 competition in that regard. Tried using a site that searches through multiple reddit-esque sites for questions like this but gave up bcs 10/10 times the only answers were on Reddit.

I was always super interested in legendary equipment, so when I came back to the game after years away I just picked one weapon from the list, put it into gw2efficiency, expanded it's required materials list and looked through it until I saw something that requires me to do content which I felt comfortable doing, like map completion or open world events. From there I naturally re-familiarized myself with the game as I kept working towards the legendary.

Love the game, have over a hundred hours in it, nice to see a shoutout but why so many hashtags? hard to read the post

[–] vasus@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (4 children)

I recommend getting the bundle with all the DLC, slightly more expensive but very worth it esp. for the big content expansion War of the chosen.

you’ve been able to fucking play it for a decade

tech demo out = game is playable, unbeatable logic

If they said they released it years ago and called these all “updates” you’d have nothing to bitch about

It's not about what the developers say the state of the game is, it's about what's actually out and playable - and for Star Citizen, last time I checked it's some barebones version with one planet, bajillion missing features, 200000000$ ships and in general a buggy mess

You star citizen fans are insufferable. I get spammed with these videos, ads and articles hyping up the game for being the best thing ever, always claiming the next update to be some gamechanger but it's still the same unfinished garbage. Love how every time someone mentions the absolutely disgusting monetisation, it goes in one ear and out the other.

Now get back to licking chris robert's shoes, you've missed a spot

If you want to rant about GPU prices, why randomly call out one/two specific games? Not like it doesn't apply to any other modern release. I don't get this post

Also I looked up some benchmarks and you can get 60FPS on medium with an RX 6600 (about 200 USD curently in the US) in both finals & helldivers. Could possibly get away with a cheaper card on Low settings

 

Steam Next Fest, which is a regular event for showcasing upcoming games, is happening now on steam and will continue until February 12 at 10:00 AM PST (UTC-8).

With hundreds of demos available, even if you're only interested in a fraction of the games it's going to be difficult to try everything before the event ends. With that in mind, I'm hoping people can use this thread to share their thoughts on the titles they've played.

Which games did you enjoy, and which do you think suck? Please share your thoughts!
