Oh cool, GOG is still doing a good job.

Amazing, even if Tiberian Sun source code would be appreciated as well. Perhaps in the future as precedent has been set.

Don't know if anyone here played Worlds Adrift some years back before the severs were killed but the single player/co-op remake Lost Skies has a demo out. Tried it out earlier, gonna be honest I hadn't realized just how much I missed that game till I found myself almost in tears playing the demo.

Found one of those "how the fuck did I miss this? How did we miss this?" games. It looks interesting.

As I watch the video, its pretty easy to see why this game series got missed by world wide audiences. It was released exclusively in Germany during the early to late 90s. During a time where it was incredibly common to miss out on great games because most games were sold by word of mouth, good box art, or being mentioned in video game mags. Add in that the first game was a PC brawler which were never successful outside of Iron & Blood... well.

Edit: Amusing, if the comment section is to be trusted, the dev of Clonk refused to upload anything onto Steam because of the old "Shareware spirit".

 

[Anonnermus]

Kuro Games' greatest crime is that I can only do the turtle dancing quest once per account. The second greatest crime is that it's a mere one minute and seventeen seconds long.

I've been listening to that clip for an hour on loop now.

These days I am still surprised to find that many games are NOT made in the USA and/or Japan

Heya folks this is a little pathetic but do you have any Recs for games where I can make some friends?

My social life is in shambles and I want to fill that void but I have no idea where to start.

Congratulation, there is split faction that just release. It's the mechanical sequel to it takes two.

It probably isn't the perfect solution, but it's a good stepping stone. It's a co-op only game where only 1 person needs a copy to play. I think the dev's have a discord (https://Discord.gg/Hazelight) where you can try to find people who own the game that wants to play with strangers.

I saw that one on the steam page. Maybe I'll give it a try. I've tried Helldivers but I got board fast on it and I've tried ff14. That one I ended up in a guild where no one talked with each other.

Honestly and I hate to admit it, I'm lonely. So I'll take a look at this and maybe that online pirate game Microsoft put out.

That's perfectly fine.

Split faction can be done without mics since it's railroaded enough, but you can probably just keep changing peeps until you find a person who likes to talk and social over it.

I was gonna say something like Deep Rock Galactic, but if you aren't a fan of mission-based co-op (HD2, lethal company, etc.) it might not be one you'd want to play for long.

 

[AllyDoodle]

It's kinda surreal that we will be seeing the Gears of War games released on the PS5. It wouldn't be surprising if we the Halo games as well at some point.

Ya know.... I think I'll give it a shot. But first I'm gonna give HD2 a go again. I mostly got mad at Sony's bs and the constant nerfs to weapons. Maybe things are better now.

Edit: well that didn't go well. Turns out I'm getting old. The arthritis in my hands means I can't really keep up in shooters anymore. Gonna have to hunt down a RPG or something.

Edit 2: Welp I found a game that got me a team to play with. Baldur's Gate 3. Got a full party that's pretty fun to play with so I think things will go well.

I feel kind of underwhelmed by the end of High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds. There's no rematch for the low rank final boss and I understand what it was going for but the last fight lacks the sort finality and spectacle I'd come to expect from the base game of the last few games. I just feel like the end bosses should've been reversed. Or at least the last High Rank monster should've come sooner and it ended on something different. Not that I'm not having fun with the game, still lot's of weapons and armor I want to make, but I just didn't feel much about the end of it.

Spoiler: monster and story spoilers for Wilds

Considering the lore implications of Guardian monsters I think ending High Rank on something as spectacular as Zoh Shia, an artificial Black Dragon, would've felt a lot more grand than Arkveld. And I fully understand the implications and importance of Arkveld evolving into a regular monster by shedding it's status as an artificial Guardian monster, but ending with "yeah, it had to be put down for it's own sake" and then just dumping you right back into hunting for the sake of making armor and weapons was really unsatisfying. The High Rank story missions were just "here's tempered monsters, frenzy, Gore Magala, and sometimes monsters will appear outside their usual habitats, now go fight Arkveld". I probably would've been happy ending on Gore if it was structured differently but Arkveld was just like "ah, this again".

We get fucking Kaiju battles. Even brought back the Metal Gear Rex head.

 

[Derek58]

If I wasn't all ready sold on the game, the ship combining with a goo kaiju would've sold me instantly

 

[Megaolix]

I imagine Kojima is not into making movies because they don't last long enough for the stories he want to tell.

 

[Hunter 1]

All I can hope is that it doesn't take half a decade to come out for non-Sony systems, like the first game did.

Last online game I played where I actually felt like I was part of a team and helping and vice versa

Destiny 2

Gets glitchy though

 

[Sigmundr]

Just finished The Citadel and Beyond Citadel which were surprisingly fun. I mean I wasn't actually expecting much going in however it was engaging enough that I finished the both of them one right after the other. The first one took me 6.6 hours and the second took 12.1 which is decent enough when it comes to cost-to-content ratio. This was on normal mode and I didn't really go out of my way to look for collectibles or anything. I only died a handful of times throughout either game so I probably could have increased the difficulty. (Sinking City in The Citadel sucked though. Fail the platforming and you have to restart the whole level and there was this one section that I kept falling into the lava when trying to make the jump.)

There was an issue with certain enemies being bullet sponges unless you had missiles or similar though it wasn't too much of a problem. It did get rather annoying near the end when they showed up in larger numbers but I had enough ammo stockpiled that it didn't matter. Also, I love getting headshots on the soldiers and watching their heads explode for an easy kill. Decent selection for weapons though I tended to favor the assault rifle (1st game), carbine (2nd game), and shotgun as my main weapons. The SMG was trash in the first game but they improves it in the second while your pistol in the first one seemed worse in the second to me? I ended up not really using it despite liking it in the first game.

Hell yea, brother. Have fun!

If you don't mind having to sift through literal children, Vrchat has a desktop mode and I've gotten into some very fun situations by just hanging around for a while.

Beat SteamWorld Build. It was... okay.

The near-constant attacks in the lowest level got a little annoying once you were set up with enough turrets and troops that they weren't actually a threat, but other than that the foreshadowing of the 'endless enemy' didn't really pan out. They didn't even attack the whole time I was fueling the rocket. No real 'final boss' at all. I expected either a juggernaut clawing its way out of the depths and stomping through each level until it reached the surface and murdered me or an endless tide as soon as I started collecting the last rocket part, enough to actually pierce my defenses before hitting the second and first level to do the same, but nothing.

That fact also makes the stinger more logical... but no less annoying.

Something funny related to vidya: apparently Pringles is doing a co-ad with Nintendo where they put Super Mario characters on their cans. The thing is they put Luigi on the Sour Cream can and Toad on the Hot & Spicy one. Luigi is funny to me because I hate Sour Cream and Toad because Bowser would've been a better fit imo. Anyway, that's all. That's it.
