what is the latest game youre playing

interesting. i always had the same issue with directional input but never thought about playing a fighting game on pc

ive been playing mario xcom a bit it’s pretty cool
i like how the “mario + rpg elements” kind of games simplify the mechanics and focus on gameplay

playing MVCI with stick and still being awful after years of learning fighters was the last straw and I gave up all traditional fighters cause my brain can’t handle it lol

Pokken is cool cause I don’t feel bogged down by weird controls but lacks the hype

oh yeah i didnt continue playing the game for very long lolz!

i’m playing Zelda on the Nintendo Switch

been playing ragnarok online lolz

playin hella mount n blade today and yesterday

how does fortnite compare with pubg?

It’s faster paced and easier to loot and less sniper fights since you can destroy all cover and also build your own to cover approaches. Guns don’t feel as good and just one or two per archetype tho

Playing Mario world the special zone I got to awesome

back to playing street fighter v again since i bought the season 2 characters on the cheap from the steam sale

and boy i like almost all of the season 2 characters, in contrast to the season 1 characters to the point that i enjoy all but 1 of the s2 characters and enjoy 1 or MAYBE 2 s1 characters

its fun

playing castlevania HD on ps3 with my bud

nice, ps3 version actually has acceptable drop rates

I picked up skyrim again cause I just had oral surgery so I wanna be a blob on the couch and not work too hard

if you mostly ignore the quests (unless youre hard up for some direction) and just roam around exploring on your own it’s a nice little fun loop

plus I’ve had the solstheim dlc all this time but never touched it before, turns out it’s p neat. basically they tried to do morrowind again

update: I am ALL ABOUT Don’t Starve these days

dont starve was cool but it stresses me out too much

yeah, i can see that being a thing

on the one hand, like any game once you get its mechanics figured out it’s not so bad and as somebody who’s pretty good at it i enjoy how it never really gets to be completely monotonous or effortless, even in later days you’re always working on SOMEthing. there’s also a ton of content on offer with the reign of giants and shipwrecked expansions, and every character brings their own unique playstyle to the experience plus the worldgen is highly customizable so there’s so much replay value

but i can see how, either if you’re the type of person who gets overwhelmed by to-do lists, or if you haven’t reached the point where the mechanics are second nature to you yet, it could be a stressful experience. the simple mechanics hide a game of really striking complexity, lots of moving parts to consider at any given moment

Don’t Starve Together definitely makes things easier on you by letting you play multiplayer and split up the workload, if you’re at all interested in learning to enjoy what’s on offer

but like, survival games in general when they’re done right (which is rare, but Don’t Starve definitely nails it imo) deal directly with the experience of living on the edge of mortality and having it in the back of your mind which can be a pretty Real fear and might fuck with your enjoyment for sure. so they’re not for everybody

Just started playing RE7. Honest surprised it’s as good as it is.

that shit was way too scary for me lol

i would probably shit myself in the VR version but playing with a friend we just laughed at it

update: I might take a break from don’t starve for a while
I’m breaking my face against adventure mode and it’s reeeeeeeeally frustrating

The latest game I got was kingdoms and castles but I’m already over it. Maybe if it gets fleshed out a lot more I’ll get back to it.

i swear when i was a little kid my friend had a game called kingdoms and castles that was basically the same thing except 90s computer game but I cant find anything about it

maybe it was just a really similar name

It’s a very generic name so yeah that sounds very plausible.

i believe it might have been this game:

this game is excellent

what class do you play, i go with the big armored dude with the robot suit

lancers are cool but hard to use and the weapons they get don’t really keep pace with the kinds of missions you’re up against eventually imo

flying ladies 4 lyfe

the only missions i really had trouble with as the lancer were the couple where you just have to kill 100 dragons or whatever

the single shot artillery cannon guns of their are just so incredibly powerful that any of the bigger monsters are kind of a joke

i was thinking more of missions where you have to take down transport ships, or towards the end with the dyson sphere stuff, where you have to shoot way up into the skybox

maybe i just never got good lancer drops tho lol. that’s also a possibility

just looked up steam screenshots so i could remember what its called, the gallic heavy cannon was my thing with the lancer. its fire rate is like .5/sec but it does so much damage that if you can aim it you can take down transport ships super easy

that and the ability to cancel your dashes into melee attacks into dashes again lets you move around really fast so it just kinda owned all around

nice yeah i never found that one

hmmmm might have to put some more time in, there

i really enjoyed zipping around in the air and sniping things tho too

now just start putting gundam games on pc and i’ll be good

you should get a switch anyway tho

ah no it’d be a ps4 for the gundams

ps4 for bloodborne u mean

oh yeah that too

and i feel like there was one other game but its not enough to make me want one

I picked up The Long Dark on steam sale yesterday and so far it really owns

had my eye on it for quite a while, it’s nice to see an early access game actually finish and be good (apart from the story which they’re releasing in chapters)

it’s also nice to see a survival game that focuses more on survival instead of combat. and the setting is hauntingly gorgeous

I’ve been playing through Hollow Knight for the fourth time (doing an old nail challenge run) - this game is seriously good and excels in every area. I’d recommend to anyone who loves platformers/metroidvanias

Can’t wait for the upcoming free DLC to drop.

been completely lost in subnautica the past couple days
it owns so hard

update: still playing subnautica

got in some good games with yams we won the round

update: subnautica kinda started to lose me a bit in the endgame, i’m not finding it as compelling once you make the prawn suit and are forced to confront some of your biggest fears up to that point and realize that they’re not actually as dangerous as you thought they were

also the longer i play that one save file, the worse the game’s performance got, to the point that i actually had to jump my settings down one level across the board

so now i’m back on that hollow knight / skyrim kick

persona 5 (ps3) and gradius 3 (snes)

both really good i recommend both of them highly

i love splatoon

so for now it’s a mix of like, daggerfall and minecraft

Just finished fatal frame tonight. I’ve only been between 10 pm and 2 am, and I really think it helps the experience.

Although that being said playing alone in a dark room really isn’t too different from what I do with any other game…

Now play crimson butterfly

I’ve been into duskers lately
it’s really awesome. picture a cross between Hacknet and XCOM set in a dead version of the Alien universe

you pilot drones using a text interface and rudimentary blotchy video feeds and schematics, docking with derelict ships looking for scrap and trying to find out why everyone else is dead

and you’re not alone

I’ve been playing Master of Magic a lot recently, it’s an old DOS game that’s basically a Civilizationt type game but with wizards, so you’re learning and casting spells to buff your units, summon creatures, deal damage and other effects in battle, cast spells on a city to benefit (or curse) it and it’s inhabitants, and bigass overland enchantments that affect every player in the game.

It’s got some insane replayability with all the different builds you can make.

woah, i’m pretty sure i’ve played that

been playing Endless Space 2 again
very relaxing 4X game
i love how the different factions have such different gameplay. my favorite are the tree people who root up the galaxy and take over systems via ‘pacifism’

i just started playing this game called “minion masters”

i’m told that it’s “like clash royale” but it’s for PC instead i guess

for $5 it’s been fun enough i guess

From: applebaps at 2018-05-04 16:54:49

yeah i picked it up on GOG. i like that it runs on linux as well! didn’t expect that for a dos-era game

i found it kind of confusing until i read the manual and turned the difficulty up to normal so i could turn off the grand vizier (which wasn’t building anything i wanted it to) and make a custom wizard (which is super awesome)

my favorite 4X game is galactic civilizations 2, which lets you build custom races as well as build custom spaceships from component parts based on what you’ve researched and unlocked. so anything customizable is great

yeah clearing lairs/nodes was my biggest struggle with learning the game, it doens’t help that the scout report only gives you a name - is it one pack of war bears or 6? is it 2 ghouls or 8 ghouls with a freaking demon that’s harder than all of them combined? I’d recommend saving and going in anyway to scope out what’s actually in there and reloading after

early on you can probably take lairs containing 2-3 war bears/2-4 skeletons+ghouls/1-2 sprites (not at nature nodes though, they’re buffed and scary there)/1-2 guardian spirits/ x amount of phantom warriors (if you bring some ranged firepower) without too much difficulty - just bring 3-4 units and buff them with whatever you’ve got

currently playing with my thumbs as a fan in my laptop is failing and making horrendous noise and needs to be dealt with

just working up the nerve to pull it all apart in order to get to it, so paranoid about breaking something

ive been experimenting with minecraft mods

played thaumcraft for quite a while then got a bit soured on it

now ive been learning botania

mini reviews:

thaumcraft 5 is a great mod that’s closer to a total conversion than a simple addition. it centers largely around “aspects” which it assigns like elemental properties to nearly every item, block, and mob. it also leans heavily on an “aura” mechanic where chunks have aspected energy that flows around from place to place and powers a lot of your magic and mechanisms.

because it’s so involved, with an in depth research game to unlock more magical theory, 3 new kinds of crafting, not to mention the essentia management, it has a tendency to be an end in and of itself which still necessitates some vanilla actions to get started but later replaces them entirely with mod-specific tasks and objectives

botania, in sharp contrast to this, is a flexible and minimalist tech mod masquerading as a magic mod. it revolves around generating “mana” (power resource) and crafting using naturally spawning flowers and materials converted from wood and stone. it eschews pipes and wires in favor of directly linking machines together with a wand to fire mana “bursts” through the air

even though it has 2 new crafting methods (runic altars and the petal apothecary), and unlike Thaumcraft, all botania-specific actions are conducted in world rather than through guis, which is a nice immersive touch

furthermore, if botania gets to a point where it replaces vanilla actions, i havent hit it yet. it seeks to add a bunch of cool toys to your toy box rather than replacing them. a lot of the fun is had through using botania items to augment automation you could already do with redstone, but really kick it up a notch

it also adds quite a lot of really nice looking decorative blocks

as such, players looking for a more directed experience would probably enjoy thaumcraft, whereas redstone wizards and those looking to build beautiful buildings will probably prefer botania

it’s worth noting that both mods are riddled with typos and grammatical errors. botania also loves anime references. it’s really put of place

if youre going to pick up either mod, i recommend acquiring them directly from their respective sites and setting up forge for them, rather than using a mod pack. packs often contain other random things and the mod versions are usually outdated

in particular, Simply Magic (which tries to be an intro to all major magic mods) is 2 versions behind on Thaumcraft and idk how many on Botania

not bad. i finally added a big new feature (PMs, not done yet but mostly working)

From: meepches and pentell at 2018-06-05 02:06:07
i got warhammer vermintide 2 and its cool i can be a crazy cat lady wizard except instead of obsessed with cats shes obsessed with fire

i played this for a bit, its fun with friends. i also played the fire woman and blasted dudes with my laser staff.
ultimately the lack of real MMO-like mechanics kind of bothered me. it’s more like left 4 dead or something i guess (never played l4d) but i would like something like more PSO. i want healing and stuff

vermintide 2 is ok

i personally dont much care for the feel of the weapons, and i encountered enough gamebreaking bugs on release that i felt burned by the purchase and stopped playing

maybe eventually itll be better with patches

also needs more content, and ai manager tweaks to make it feel less samey

but nothing else is really scratching the l4d itch so it’s a good effort

The new humble monthly seems pretty good. HOI4 and Blackwake. I paused last months because destiny 2 seemed awful.

ah see I bought it expecting something more like killing floor, so it’s been pretty alright for me

so far, at least

kf2 nails the gamefeel aspect imo

kf2 is great, one of my favs

Im playing dying light bc the second one looked cool at e3 and it was on sale. Its ok. I like the parkour aspect and the zombies are kinda fun. The inventory and level up system kinda blows tho.

was watching the #1 us player for mario tennis and spied this matchup for championship point

as an aside i am playing this game

i won btw

bowser jr. is horse shit

waluigi seems v. strong

idk how to rank anyone else

jr >>>>>> waluigi/chomp >>> the rest

the good character > a cast of garbage

kinopio taicho can barely keep up the fuck makes you think rosa or bowju or waruigi can compete w her

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/277200146?t=03h09m51s heres the game in case anyone was curious

real anime shit i fought my way back from 0-40 championship point and took it the next game

watching how you handled someone that can reliably trick shot is what let me win my first tournament actually

^___^

just watched it, nice work typhy show those streamers who’s boss

so far im using trick shots mostly to cover my ass when i fuck up
it seems like the intended strategy to use on people using trick shots to cover zone shots is to try to break their racket

i havent broken anyones racket since release lol
i beat beat bad players too fast and good players always either do a successful block or let the ball go past them if they don’t have enough meter

lately ive been looking for a chill space game but i got cogmind instead and its very unchill but its fun

infinifactory is the chill space game

interesting, might check it out. i was considering elite dangerous but idk

i got nioh and im a samurai dark souls

i chose the spear and tonfas as my starting weapons and i gotta say i like the tonfas way better than the spear

only beat the first real level and the bonus level attached to it so far though

i like spears but i played like, every dark souls with halberd so i just went with sword this time around

armored core roguelike, basically. in an older school sense of the word than i’m used to lately
lots of tactical decision-making on the fly and managing limited resources. i’m into it

friendship ended with sienna, now kruber is my best friend

Just started another game of Epic Battle Fantasy 4, as EPF5 is coming closer to release.

I love this series - it’s like a love letter to JRPGs that has a far more in depth and satisfying battle system than most actual JRPGs do. There’s a lot of ways you can approach battles and on the hardest difficulty you really have to have a plan or you’re gonna die.

EBF3 is free on steam, and while there’s a paid version fo EBF4 on steam with extra stuff you can still find the free flash version around. Would recommend checking it out to any JRPG fans.

hooked on Dead Cells the past few days now that it’s officially released

it’s a rougelite metroidvania, more or less, with tight as hell combat and a good variety of weapons/power/skills that also interact well with each other - you can pick from a lot of different playstyles/builds to work with

haven’t beaten the final boss yet, bastard is very unforgiving with his attacks bu so far the game has been a blast

MONSUTAA HANTAA WAARUDO tho

jumped back in for another round of Hollow Knight, now that some new content is released. It’s on sale too, if for some reason you don’t already own this wonderful, awesome little game. If you enjoy metroidvanias, like at all, you owe it to yourself to play it.

yeah hollow knight is really really good

monster hunter generations ultimate

Picked up Salt and Sanctuary, in short it’s a Dark Souls-ish 2D metroidvania-ish game. It’s been pretty fun, if challenging to begin with, but now I’ve hit my stride and I’m tearing things apart as a Heavy Armour Knight with a bigass Scythe and all is good.

Wish the soundtrack was better tho, it feels quite empty most of the time.

i like s&s quite a bit
it needs work in a few key areas (like the music, which you mentioned) but it filled a void for me when it came out. it’s a p good game

getting into brood war again
been watching lots of pro SC and it inspired me
working my way thru the campaign rn
it’s trippy playing the remastered version

how much apm can a bird achieve

looks like I’m about 70-80 apm and like 120 in big fights
so pretty terrible
multitasking is rly hard

i rekt my friend with this cheese build though it was a lot of fun

man, that takes me back
and yeah i’ve never been much good at RTSes in a human competitive sense
i always played them for the campaigns

a friend of mine bought me tekken 7 so when i get some free time im going to try and learn that

theres like no resources online now that arent youtube videos or forum posts for fighting games anymore

what happened to wikis

those were the days

You don’t get ad revenue and patreon bucks for editing a free wiki

I dunno, some wikis are overrun with ads and shitty owners trying to squeeze as much money out of the content as they can

that may be true, but the people that contribute the content usually don’t see any of that

I always just played custom maps (UMS in Starcraft)
I never even played the campaigns properly
but I’m finally doing that for the first time and it’s a ton of fun
almost done with the Zerg campaign in vanilla SC

also fuck wikia, it’s such a cash grab

yea to all of this

just picked up Torchlight 2, I had a lot of fun playing Fate ages ago so it’s good to continue on with the same sort of formula only better and refined (I’m loving the Pet shopping list addition)

rolled an Outlander, currently using Shotguns with Rapid Fire as my main skill. I picked Hard mode and it’s been a challenge but not too overwhelming so far.

i’ve been picking up The Long Dark again recently
the Vigilant Flame update overhauled the cooking mechanics, and as much as i love the direction it’s taking the game, the initial launch of the overhaul had some weird bugs and issues
they’ve hotfixed a lot of it so i’m back on my shit

i mostly like to play on Interloper difficulty but this weekend i started working on actually completing some of the challenges, since i haven’t done any of those yet
almost done with Nomad, gonna finish it up tonight after work

update: i did it!

i just discovered The Dark Mod http://www.thedarkmod.com/main/

it’s a fan-made rebuilding of the classic Thief engine, with heavy support for fan missions and mods. basically Thief without the Thief branding. i downloaded the client and a few missions to test it out so tonight that’s what i’m all about

i also grabbed the Sneaky Upgrade fan patch collection for thief 3 (deadly shadows), which makes the game WAY better in a variety of ways https://www.moddb.com/mods/thief-3-sneaky-upgrade

i actually liked thief 3 when it came out regardless, but i can’t deny the sneaky upgrade makes it a much much better game, on par with 1 and 2 without question. so once i’ve messed around in dark mod for a bit, i’ll probably start replaying thief 3 again

inevitably though i know this will all end with me just replaying thief 2 lmao >_>

Tetris Effect (2018) is the greatest game of all time

Been playing Deltarune, Toby Fox’s latest game (demo). If you liked Undertale and somehow haven’t heard of it - go check it out now.

red dead redemption 2

it’s a good game but the control is really sloppy

world of warcraft

been playing:
bad north
pokeman
dungeon of the endless

also i think i finally got system shock 2 multiplayer working… maybe…

MTG Arena owns. If anyone wants to battle lets do it.

just started on Epic Battle Fantasy 5 which was just released this morning.

so far it’s a big improvement on EBF4 (which was already great and I’ve said as mich earlier in this thread), lots of new status effects and mechanics and things added which I just know is gonna add another whole layer of complexity and strategy which is exactly what I love about this series so damn much. Music so far is great too.

oh, and I’ve also got a spare 20% off steam voucher as well so if there’s any RPG fans who want to give it a shot let me know and I’ll be glad to hook you up =)

does it still look like early 2000s newgrounds anime

yes, but more refined? I dunno, it’s the same cutesy style it’s always been

epic battle fantasy owns

have fun :) I’d get it but I’m trying to save for a switch and pokeman

Hollow knight is the dark souls of metroidvanias and I say this without a trace of irony

finally got around to playing Celeste, and I’m glad I did. It’s been really good so far, and I love the first chapter’s tune. Despite it being maddeningly frustrating at times I did enjoy playing Jumper along with LUE back in the day, and An Untitled Story kicks ass so I have high hopes for this game.

Update: So right now I’m stuck on Chapter 7’s B-Side, right at the final stretch. Fuck the devs so god damn much for introducing a new mechanic right there, I cannot for the life of me get the timing right on this dash wall jump thing, and I gotta do it twice in a row perfectly.

I dread the rest of this level and what’s to come in the final post-game chapter, my fingers are killing me >_<

playing Castlevania:SoTN on my PSP

currently grinding a second Heaven’s sword from the one secret room in the Clock Tower

I don’t need a second really, but I want it. Apparently using two at once is pretty awesome and I’ve never tried it before

edit: fuck it just gamesharked a second one in I have no time for that shit anymore >_>

going through the Spyro trilogy now (I know they just made a remake but it’s not out on steam yet iirc)

I’ve 100%’d 1, and just moved on to 2. Think 2 would be my favourite of them all, can’t even really say why.

all about civ 6 on the switch these days

hollow knight secret area

picked up MHW again, beat pink rath and bazelguese, fighting nergigante

still carrying on with the OG Spyro trilogy, just started 3 tonight

what I wish I was playing though is the new Hollow Knight game Team Cherry just dropped a trailer for.

I am SO fucking hyped for that it looks awesome

started Legend of Mana last night - it’s freaking beautiful, some nice spritework and kickass music too

started with Daggers but found a 2HSword that way overshadowed them in terms of damage so now I’m just slaughtering the hell out of everything with that instead

had a peek at a crafting FAQ and holy moly there’s a fuckton of complex mechanics that are literally not explained or alluded by the game at all o_o

i’ve been HELLA into zachtronics games lately (shenzhen i/o, infinifactory, tis-100, opus magnum)

really love the stiff challenge

borderlands 2 with mah lil brother I’m being melee zero and he’s being elemental Maya, the exact opposite of what we normally do

I just got star fox 64. my 3ds is damaged and I have a blind spot. it’s a strange challenge to not have full view of the radar and the upper left portion of the screen

that’s a good one

what is zachtronic?

zachtronics is a company (originally one guy named Zach but it’s a decent size now and Zach himself doesn’t run the business side of it) that makes puzzle games

http://www.zachtronics.com/

generally they’re games that involve using a set of intermediate tools or machines or code, to make things from component parts, or break them down and put them back together differently, or something

they’re also called esoteric programming games

two of them (tis-100 and shenzen i/o) literally have their own made up assembly language that the game revolves around

opus magnum is about alchemy, bonding alchemical marbles together into patterns using rotational arms

spacechem is like that too but with grabbers on a track and you’re making chemicals

exapunks is about programming viruses

infinifactory has you welding blocks together and moving stuff around on conveyors

they also made Infiniminer, which was the main inspiration for minecraft

jumped back into NetHack, it’s been years since I played but after a few false starts I’ve got back into the swing of it and got a decent run going

Lawful Dwarven Valk currently sitting at the cleared out Sokoban Zoo. So far I have achieved: Excalibur, 5 AC of protection, 3x BoH, Blessed Luck and Touchstones, maxed luck, co-aligned minetown altar, a dozen bottles of holy water and have two max-level Housecats (named Trix and Trax, one of which was my starter even) accompanying me.

So far, so good. Having said that, I’m expecting a YASD any moment now. My worst mistake so far is quaffing a blessed !oGA while wearing a ring of sustain ability. Derp. I expect to be making more idiotic mistakes shortly.

EDIT: aaaand I got murdered by a Wand of Death by some asshole Sargeant in Fort Ludios, fuck. Everything was going so well.

it also sucked because there was an altar + priest on the same level as the portal. I was getting hard thinking about all the AC I’d get from protection money + BUCing all that armour

yeah that sounds about right lol

lol nice
i’ve played nethack on and off since i was like 10 and never beaten it

i had a dream i bought a switch.

i wanna play octopath traveler

i’ve beaten nethack precisely once in 20+ years of playing it, with a lawful human valkyrie

basically just everything went right for once, it was a once in a lifetime run where things just lined up perfectly every step of the way

nice

I’ve beaten it only a handful of times, a Valk or two, a Wizard or two and I think a Samurai? I can’t recall, but it’s not a lot, and every time I either had lots of wishes/good luck/abused polypiling to a massive degree

not to mention I did read literally all the spoilers out there and several guides which helped immensely as well

yeah I gave up on playing unspoiled after about 10 years and it helped a lot lmao

been playing Baba Is You, it owns
makes you feel both dumb and smart

what’s that one

it’s kind of like sokoban but you push around blocks that change the rules of the game
so like baba is the main character and you 3 blocks that are baba, is, you next to each other which means you control baba. but (depending on the level) you can change it to ‘wall is you’ instead and now you’re controlling the walls. there’s all kinds of properties you can mess with and the puzzles are very mind-bending
also there’s a reverse time button so if you push a block into a wall accidentally you can just undo it ez
it’s hard to explain but the trailer does a good job. i’m not a huge fan of sokoban style games but this one is different

woah what the heck, that sounds cool

woah what the heck, that sounds cool

oh, it’s not a video game but on the forums here some friends and i have been playing vampire the masquerade. i’m storytelling, it’s a blast

hooray I did it

oh shit! daaaaamn

thanks =), despite being as super-prepared and buffed up as I was there, you can still lose runs at the last moment so it’s always a nerve-wracker

yeah the astral plane can really catch you out

nice! good job

started playing horizon zero dawn

it’s so goddamn good, i’m pissed that i didn’t try it sooner
