“Don’t look at Jaques as if he was a human being, he comes from another planet.”
I wanted to love Soma, I tried playing twice now. I live for the ocean, so this should be right up my alley. But to be fair I never passed the apartment at the start.
I reaaaaally should stick with it and try again. Thanks for reminding me of my shame!
Wow, thank you so much for this! So much in this I wanted to see, I really appreciate the time you took!
I adore diving. I actually moved around the world for 11 months to teach diving after my PADI IDC. So you’d think Subnautica would be tailor-made for me.
It just didn’t really explain what I needed to do. I don’t need my hand held in games, but by the time I figured out what I needed, the realization was a whole lot of upkeep and ‘menial tasks’ to progress. If that makes sense. I couldn’t pass the early game to get to the story and progress. This is all on me, but I never enjoyed Minecraft, so that whole genre is maybe not for me. I wish I did, it looks so lovely.
Abzu though, that was amazing!
I’ve got Outer Wilds downloading right now. I keep reading and seeing comments and posts telling me how much I’ll love it, so I have to have faith (like Dutch kept telling me -_-), thanks for reminding me about this one. It seems quirky and to have its own style, I think I’ll like this!
(P.s. is Spiritfarer harrowingly sad? I see a lot that this game needs a box of tissues and a teddy bear nearby when playing through, that’s why I haven’t jumped to it yet!)
I tried Hades! I loved the art and the world, but the idea of progressing only a little each time and dying (often) was a turn off to me.
The world they made though? Amazing! Thanks for these suggestions, I’ll check them all out!
You’ve been paying the Apple Tax!
After Snowden’s efforts at showing what America was capable of nearly 10 years ago, I’m not at all interested in letting that country have my data
What a shock to read. I love his books, his story, what he achieved and how he did it all. The world was a better and safer place with Kevin in it.
What a sad day to lose someone like that.
The Metroid Prime Remake was beautiful to see on my Switch. Really appreciated playing through that. I had to have a online walkthrough on hand, but that’s just me!
Well worth the price.
I see this weird Death March thing everywhere. I replayed through recently on the easiest setting (story and sword, I think its called?) and had a GREAT time.
If you ever feel the urge, I can’t recommend it enough. The first couple hours of playing are like an extended tutorial. The entirety of White Orchid is a learning zone, really.
As everyone says, once you reach the Bloody Baron quest, you see just how amazing the game and the writing can be!
Maybe ny fav game of the last 5 years. Control just took my breath away.
The Stephen King/Twin Peaks-feeling atmosphere I needed in a game, and yep, Jesse Faden was 100% my gym motivation for a solid month there!!
That’s interesting you loved XV, I played right after the VII Remake and it just didn’t ‘click’ with me.
I love the design (the almost mid-cent car’s look), but it just wasn’t right to me somehow.
OP what do you think about Xenoblade Chronicles X? Have you played? Is this an okay one to ‘start’ with?
Usually I see mecha and I am all in, but haven’t played yet! Would love to hear if you have played it.
Agreed with this.
A few years back it seemed better: fewer people meant recognised faces, regular chats, and almost a community feeling. I was in some kind of Linux instance.
Being much younger than most threw people off though, and I ended up feeling a little…on-the-outside and left.
I hopped on a week back and it feels so different now. Less community-oriented and all I find interesting is searching a hashtag and leaving.
I don’t know, maybe reddit (before the death) and lemmy have spoiled me, it just seems like random thoughts above all now.
Can’t recommend playing it on Steam Deck enough. Amazing pick-up-and-play game that looks incredible on the screen!
I sit down, push one button on my Xbox controller to turn it on and another once more to play a game.
It is just a world easier to play a game on a console than it is on a PC. I’m sure we can be objective about this.
The video looked incredible, didn’t it! I’m really looking forward to playing…one day. Fantasy can’t ever have enough games in that genre for me.
Also, having never played Oblivion, this is right up my alley!
Comfort of my couch + TV on my Series X far outweighs whatever improvements sitting at a desk provides.
Xbox comes with comfort, and to me that is priceless
Anyone else just using whatever is FOSS feom f-droid?
Of course the more apps the merrier, but personally open code = a more trustworthy use for me
Really glad you both suggested this game!
Am having an absolute blast playing!!!
