>>60906I'm playing Ultrakill. I've found myself in some sort of mind haze lately and thinking about anything deeply to be exhausting. Then I got this feeling of playing a mindless shooter. Quake is usually the one I would go in those cases but I've played that title way too many times. I've been hearing stuff about boomer shooters and decided to try them out while I'm in the mood for that sort of thing.
I tried Cultic first. It's alright but I found the graphics to be a tad too muddy and it's not mindless as I would like. It's slow and you have to save ammo and do exploration. So I played it for 20 minutes and moved on. Then I tried Project Warlock, a game I read pretty positive reviews for. This one I found too linear, too cartoony, killing things are not all that satisfying for some reason. Played for 20 minutes and moved on.
Next I tried Dusk and that one is fast and mindless enough but the art direction wasn't cutting it for me. I don't want to run in a farm, I wanted something more cyberpunky. So I played for 20 and moved on. Then I tried Incision, it's bad. Then Prodeus which I liked but I don't know. It just felt too derivative of something I can't put my finger on. I kept thinking if I'll play this might as well play Quake again. Then I tried Ion Fury. The level designs made me get lost and then I was forced to think about where I was going and that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for mowing down a bunch of enemies without having to think about anything. So I quit it.
I was going to try Doom Eternal but it's like 60 gigs to download and god knows how big it is once installed. I got tired just thinking about it. Maybe some other time. And then in a last-ditch effort I got Ultrakill, a game I ignored at first because it looked too colorful. It turns out it's the best one of the bunch. Mindless, fast, shooting the monsters feels good, fast… fast, quite fast. Too fast for me in fact but it doesn't bother me too much. I'm currently stuck on the The Corpse of King Minos. Almost killed him a couple of times but died at the last second. What a nice game this is. It doesn't pull any punches, either. It certainly has its own charm and it's innovative in a way all the other titles are not. The idea of replenishing health with the blood of monster is quite cool and it forces you to blow shit up face to face.
The one thing I don't get are the jokes. I have the habit of reading negative reviews for games I like to see the difference in tastes. Many times a person mentions something that he disliked it but that very reason is why I liked it. Anyway, I could not find a single negative review because they're all buried in garbage jokes. I don't get it. Well, fuck it. Ultrakill is a nice game.

I'm playing Mario Kart 8 for the Switch right now. I'm trying to beat all of 200cc and the 150cc time trials to get ready for the 5,000 coin grind I need to do to finish the game. I'm also playing Mario Maker 2, but it's not really on my to-do list. I'm more interested in completing games rather than playing them endlessly.

>>60934Enjoy it while it lasts. I found that the game became less enjoyable as I progressed and started to figure things out. The enemy doesn't get any smarter on higher difficulty settings, they just get stat boosts so you'll be sitting there realizing how fucked you are and then the computer does some incredibly dumb bullshit that lets you survive. It just feels a bit lame because the only way you can win is through the computer making basic retard mistakes over and over. It would have been much better if they could have figured out how to make it "smarter" as you go up in difficulty. I was addicted until on one playthrough I achieved total galactic unification under my federation and then I just stopped and haven't had the urge to play again.

>>60970>CS:GO is gone.Nani the fuck?! I never thought they would flat out de-list the game and replace it entirely. That is happening too much on Steam. Games disappearing not just from the store, but from the libraries of those who already "bought" it. No "Sorry, this title is no longer available on Steam" message, no CD Key to activate on another platform. Just a generic redirect to the Steam homepage where you're bomblasted by a fuckton of ads for irrelevant games. No trace of it but a digital e-mail receipt that isn't good for fuck all but a reminder that you spent up to $90 on a game that they arbitrarily decided you aren't allowed to play anymore.
>CS2 literally is just a upgraded version of CS:GOCS:GO with upgrades is upgraded CS:GO.
>it will take them months or even years to add in a bunch of the stuff.So it's a downgrade so far? Isn't the whole benefit of SOURCE2 that previous source assets could be converted over en masse and work right away? I payed full price for CS:GO and I'd like to play that game, or atleast hat is was before all of this "economy" shit, not some flaky downgraded version that takes a 2080ti to run despite still looking like it's from 2012. Oh, and I've been downgraded to "free mode" despite buying it fully once already, so now I need to buy the "premium version" in order to get half of what I had back in the CS:GO beta. What a shitload of fuck. This is the kind bad decision that falls in to the realm of accelerationism towards a change in consumer-side interactive media protection laws. Piracy wins again. Fuck Valve, Fuck Steam, Fuck DRM. It's all just a scam designed to exploit money from hyperactive young men who were tricked by an industry of paid shills and wannabe stock traders in to spending all of their time and money on GAMBLING for COSMETIC VIRTUAL GOODS that will be TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM as soon as the overbearing company developers an even BETTER scam.

>>60971it's not even CSGO. I've played it and was surprised to hit so many headshots and end among the first during plenty of death matches, I am a casual so I know this. It's a casualized version for zoomers and people who aren't that big into FPS to play where you can aim and follow recoil.
Even valorant now poses more difficulty than cs go 2 with how easy and casual it has become.
No.60977
>>60973The recoil patterns and guns all perform the same. Hit boxes are also the same.
I tried out that setting where the crosshair follows the gun bouncing around and hated it so turned it off. It actually made hitting follow up shots harder for me.
The main difference I noticed is the improvement in visibility and how light and shadow works.
Which is why it's a bit easier to hit head shots.
The BR mode casualized it, and that is gone.
CS2 hasn't been and isn't casuailized in any way. Most of the changes, like the limited buy menu actually make the game more tactical.
You are basically dead wrong to the point that I think you are just intentionally lying to be outrageous.

Tried playing stellaris again and was surprised to see that they put out an update that changed a lot of stuff with a new update. They say they added more end game content, but my first game I tried using the Tyznn which I have never done before and I didn't raise the difficulty to grand admiral because I had been having trouble with the commonwealth of man and I figured they would be similar. They are not though, the slavers guild civic makes it so much comfier and easier to play with so I ended up pretty much completely dominating before I reached the end game, so I started over with grand admiral difficulty. I was super behind on tech and fleets in the beginning (the first alien gateway was built in 2302 while I still had like 500 tech), but I focused on pops and planets and now I'm basically right back where I was the last game in a dominant position with more than double the planets of anyone else. Luckily there is still a federation with 3 of the most powerful empires and they are about to take one of the fallen empires so it's not completely dead yet. Pretty much have the galaxy split in half at this point between their federation and my federation. This play through was really annoying though because for some reason there were a shit ton of planets. I have over 50 colonies right now and I have a bunch I haven't even colonized yet. I gotta figure out how to turn that down and to turn down the tech so that people aren't getting gateways so early. I read somewhere that you can do that.

Can't decide which game I should play next. I have accumulated quite a few from various giveaways. Here is what I am considering:
TES: Oblivion (finished morrowind and skyrim but got bored of this one when I tried it many years ago)
Dishonored 1 and 2 (bought 1 many years ago, never finished it because I'm not a huge fan of shooters)
The evil within 2 (don't have 1)
Ozymandias: bronze age empire sim
Ghostrunner
Prey
Bioshock 1, 2, and infinite (started infinite couldn't get into it, but maybe it would be better if I started with the first one)
Surviving the aftermath
Fallout 1 and 2
Homeworld: deserts of kharak
Death Stranding
Total war warhammer
Xcom2

Vampyr
Godfall
Rebel galaxy
Alien: isolation
Frostpunk

I know MMORPGs are a pretty sensitive genre but I have been really invested in LOTRO. I enjoy the atmosphere and the world a lot, and I wish I had played this back in its prime rather than World of Warcraft. I really like all of the classes, the Warden in particular is quite fun with their sort of combo skill system, but I've made an assortment of other characters as well, looking forward to trying out the Minstrel as "bard" classes seem to be rare in MMORPGs. There is a private server for the original expansion Shadows of Angmar releasing soon, and I'm looking forward to trying that, but I really enjoy the current game for what it is, though there are many things I have read about the original game that were significantly nerfed and dumbed down in the retail game, which is very disappointing to me. I've even gone so far as to make a pretty autistic list of all of the ways they've neutered the game, as it is something that matters in my eyes. I just hope that they do not try to streamline it further, because I actually enjoy oldschool MMO systems a lot.
Also one of the wights in the Great Barrow is wearing Polish hussar armor and that is neat.

Your spells are limited by amount of uses, which you can refresh at expense of "camp resources", so you have to "prepare" for encounters instead of having every single spell available at the cost of mana, which is usually gay and lame.
You can cheese/ play strategically on most encounter by dropping around explosive barrels or creating water puddles which you can electrify or stack 3 people on a door so that only one enemy can pass through and attack or create cloud covers to block archers from shooting at you.

As for the companions I liked Shadowheart and the Githyanki succubus, the rest of them were pretty bad.

>>61101Just finished dishonored 1. It was a lot shorter than I was expecting. Fairly fun though. I do enjoy sneaking up behind people and throwing them in the trash. The powers you get are definitely OP as fuck. After I got time stopping it was pretty trivial to just waltz around wherever and if you run into someone just stop time and choke them out, with enough potions you can even clear large groups, and the game is not stingy with potions or other mana recovery options. Being discovered in general feels pretty inconsequential in this game, you can just blink through the levels a minute or two going right through people and basically nothing happens, even alarms are weaksauce. The game also takes the multiple paths thing to the extreme, stuff ends up feeling fairly contrived even though I have to admit they did a good job of making it look natural for the most part. Stuff like the holes in the walls of rooms so you can pass through it on a vent just looks silly. The best part of the game IMO are the little content easter eggs they leave around here and there. It is fun trying to explore everywhere to make sure you've found all the content. Overall not one of my favorites but I can see why some people like it so much. I will probably wait a while before playing 2.
No.61164
>>61161Yeah, the freedom of the game kinda lends itself to being too easy. Just about every encounter can be solved with time stop and just shooting a bunch of crossbow bolts at once. And if you have the vaporize body perks you can basically do it right in front of people and they won’t care.
2 is a bit longer, but they both kinda use DLC to prop up the run times a bit.
No.61165
>>61164I solved every problem on the hardest difficulty with timed blink jumps.
That plus the power that lets you see where dudes are looking through walls make using stealth probably the easiest of any non-rpg game ever.
I could blink/run through most levels at speed run speeds without being detected.
It rendered almost all the equipment totally useless to me during my playthrough since those two powers were all I needed at all times.

>>61162>>61163I spent the whole day yesterday trying several different civil war related games and I'm impressed how bad they are compared to other strategy games out there. For some reason I always thought civil war was a very popular subject matter in the US and more than enough to have big companies making games about it. Turns out this is not exactly the case.
For example, we don't have a Paradox game about the civil war. I could swear there is was but there isn't. There is Victoria, a game taking place in that time period and the civil war is an event in that game but that's not the same thing. Then there is a Sid Meier game but it's quite old. In fact that's a common trend. Most civil war games are very dated by now, seems they were popular at one point and then people lost interest.
All the new ones are made by small companies. I've tried Grand Tactician - The Civil War, Ultimate General Civil War, Strategic Command American Civil War and I wanted to try Brother Against Brothers and AGEOD's Civil War II before giving up but I can't find those games to download anywhere and I'm not buying a game to play 30 minutes. I also didn't try any FPS games because I wanted to move regiments in a map instead of doing the actual shooting.
All the games I tried are buggy as fuck and I mean they're broken to the point of being more annoying than fun. They're made by small companies and they have a lot of heart but their code is just a mess.
In Grand Tactician the battle are extremely frustrating because of the AI. They can't retreat right, pathfinding is honestly the worst I've ever seen in a game of this genre and it's impossible not to compare this with the Total War games. Moving units in that game is so easy and fun and here you dread to go battle mode.
Ultimate General has its own share of problems. This is a more battle focused one which I didn't want (I was looking for a spreadsheet game) but gave it a try anyways. The very first battle you have to take a fort and destroy some artillery, fine. In my first try I took the time to organize the columns and orderly march towards the fort, using cover and everything, so I wiped out 90% of the Union forces but 3 artillery guys escaped, and I mean literally 3 guys without their guns. So I got a failed mission for that one. lol.
Then I tried again but this time I just rushed everybody towards the fort, lost half of my forces and most of the Union soldiers escaped BUT I made sure to kill all the artillery soldiers this time. That's a victory in the game's book.
Then I tried Strategic Command and this is exact the type of game I was going for. The problem this game is SO SLOW to do anything. It takes forever to calculate its moves (it goes to a black screen with a window saying calculating everytime) and everything is so wonky and dated. I don't mind the dated graphics but I do mind dated engines. It's also a hex game and you can't have more than a single troop inside the same space, which gives for some very odd battles.
To attest to the lack of interest for these games, I could not find torrents for some of them, which is a pity. Oh well.

I just finished playing Fallout 3 and what I mean is I explored every location on the map, didn't actually finished the main quest. I also played through the DLC Anchorage, I never liked the DLCs for this game, they all feel out of place and with the wrong atmosphere and Anchorage in particularly is extremely boring on top of that.
I love this game but it's funny, I don't care at all for the main quest, the whole thing with your dad and project purity. It all feels a little too sappy and unimaginative if you ask me. The strength of this game is on the atmosphere and little side quests you can do around, it's nice. The wasteland survival guide is probably my favorite quest, not only for this game but possibly for all the series. The Tenpenny tower related stuff is also pretty good. I like how there's no easy solution, I ended up just killing both sides of the conflict.
The GOTY edition is buggy as hell, I think it has more bugs than the regular version. VATS is janky, if you talk to people in the wrong order you end up breaking quests, items disappear, people disappear, etc. Good thing there's a wiki now explaining how to fix some of this shit through the console. There's also a lot of gaps your character can get stuck and you have to load a previous save or go noclip on it.
This was my first time playing with the Broken Steel dlc and I dislike it. Some new monsters have been introduced that are nothing but annoying bullet sponges. I'm talking about the Super mutant overlord and the Feral ghoul reaver. They ruin your high level experience because even at lvl 30, 100 skill and a fully maintained firearm still takes 4 full fucking clips of ammo to bring them down, it's very annoying. It's not a challenge at all because they only show up when you're high level anyway. All those monsters are are resource sinks but you have plenty of that anyways so they're just a huge nuisance. I know this is a video game but what creature can take 4 clips of an assault machine gun to the face? It's ridiculous. You should be one shotting everything at the highest level anyway, it's why you level up in the first place, so fights can end quickly.
All in all though I really love this game. Fallout is my favorite series and I've played every single title, except Fallout 76. It's also the only franchise that I actually bought a copy of a game, the other being the Total War series. I have Fallout 4 on my harddrive but I think I'll give it some time before moving on to that one.
No.61183
>>61182> Super mutant overlord and the Feral ghoul reaverThose and other such enemies are why I always carry explosives.
Not only are they good for clearing out several low level mobs at once, but they can actually do decent damage against the most powerful dudes in the game, even without a maxed out skill.
I especially like setting up lines of mines when I can prepare for facing one of these buggers.
By late game I usually have too much shit accumulated anyway since by that point I am sneak killing nearly everything. So having a resource sink like that isn't as much of a big deal in late game.
That said, I do agree with you on the bugs and not liking the main quest. Side quest were where it's at with Fall out.
I heard the only reason why Starfield wasn't ultra buggy was because Microsoft stepped in and did the QA over again,saw the issues, then made them delay and actually fix the game. Their in-house QA sucks pretty bad.
I haven't played 4 yet myself, nor have I played 1 and 2.

>>61183Definitely play the first one, it has imo the best soundtrack by far and the best atmosphere, too. Bethesda games are good and I like them but 1 has true grit. And you can finish it in a single sitting, no bloat at all, there's only 12 locations to visit. You just need to grab the game somewhere, and make sure to install Fallout Fixt
https://www.nma-fallout.com/resources/fallout-fixt-full-all-fixes-and-mods.8/ and you're ready to go.
Just a word of warning, even with the patching, Fallout 1 still a little buggy, nothing too serious but make sure you save at the beginning of every location and have a second save while you're doing stuff in said location, just so you have a backup. This is also very useful because Fallout is a very old school game, meaning you make one incorrect choice on the dialogue and you'll be forever locked out of a cool quest or reward. It's probably intended so you play several runs to be able to see everything there is but that's not the style of gaming most people like nowadays, myself included. So don't be afraid to use the wiki
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_Wiki to help you out. Honestly I would still just install the fix and play without checking anything just to see how everything goes (probably nasty, brutish, short and fun), it is the first time you will be playing the game anyways. After that on your second playthrough, do check the wiki because there's a lot of hidden details here and there that are super cool but you would need to play several times to find them without help. Again you can do all that in a single day, it's a short game.
Despite the bugs and old school approach to gaming, I heartly recommend you at least try it out. Every time I listen to the sountrack of that game I remember why the first one still the best. Short, nasty, brutish, funny, very fun game.

Bulletspongy enemies are a real drag in this game tho, Bethesda still hadn't really learned anything from all the stupid shit in Oblivion at that point.

There are no literal witches, vampires, werewolves or magic lightning wizards. The second half of the game goes more shooty bang bang with tar monsters but again, nothing bad.

>>61303If watching cute pokemon creatures perform manual labor while you play discount minecraft is worth 30 or so dollars, then yeah. I personally think the knock off pokemon are super cute, but I'm just not into the survival crafting genre at all. It's still early access too, so as it is right now I would say it's not worth it. But if they fixed the bugs and optimized it and add what they said they will, then yeah it will be worth it then.

>>61293The thing is that my Index sucks, the resolution is very low and so you don't see traffic signs very well.
And not playing it in VR and with a wheel makes no sense to me.
So I'll wait for a better headset.

>>61311Steam only shows those notices to people who it is legally required to. Some governments penalize dishonest business practices such as not being clear about the DRM. If you've not convinced VALVe that you're from one of these places, they won't bother to tell you anything. The only way DRM can endure if it's done quietly, so VALVe, Ubisoft, EA etc all try paint over it until you've already made the purchase. Anyone adverse to having the license to borrow a downloaded copy of a game revoked on the whim of a multi-billion dollar company, should not be using Steam at all. At the core of the User Agreement lies gobbledegook explaining how VALVe can do anything to your account or library for any reason without disclosing any reasoning for their actions. And you must agree to this EULA every time it updates.
There is absolutely no reason to buy from Steam if the game is available elsewhere. If it's a singleplayer game and you want to directly support the developer, pirate the game and send the money to them some other way. A lot of small devs are only on Steam because of the Greenlight process, which may allow their game yo g up for sale but nonetheless results in a significant cut of sales be sent to VALVe, as well as some additional restrictions such as VALVe de-listing your game and holding your profits if someone involved in the development ends up posting a wrongthink on Facebook. There are safer, more profitable alternatives to Steam.

Rain World. I don't know what to think of it so far (2 hrs)
I'll probably ask for a refund and grab it when it's discounted.

CS2 had a decent content update and added in my favorite match type besides deathmatch, arms race.
Also upgraded the Zeus to make it rechargeable instead of disposable (don't care) and did a bunch of patches. Plus new skins and stickers (also don't care).
The two "new" maps for arms race are pretty good but I wish they were available in death match too.
Overall I am enjoying the update.

>>61392It's more fun than any mobile game I have playedor seen.
Controls work good on pc.
The devs made it to function well on low spec pc for the internal market. So it probably influenced the looks since mobile games use the same tricks to run on phones.
Hell, my only complaint so far is that the payed skins are ugly compared to the ones you get by grinding for them with weapon xp for free by just playing the game with a weapon you already like.
Oh and so far their are only two kill streak rewards and no mini map. So no radar or uav. Just minigun and nuke.

>>61411I watched about 6 hours of livestreams of this game from new players and those who are top rank and in-the-know with 'the meta'. Every second of it looked the exact same. It plays like freaking Cookie Clicker. Our average racing game offers more environmental differences, challenges, and new gameplay elements than HellDivers II
No.61415
>>61414what exactly is this meta? from my experience this is what i use
laser gun
smg pistol
50% survive death medium armor
laser backback drone strategem
autocannon sentry strategem
rocket sentry strategem
railcannon weapon strategem
no one really uses anything i do aside from the lazer drone backpack, because it's completely busted and you'd be dumb to not use it. you can run away completely disengaged from combat and still be killing things, do terminal stuff/activate hellbomb and have it guard you from little guys. kill missions are different and everyone just brings turrets and mortars usually which is really the only sensible way to beat those

>>61433I love this series. I've played every game. It's funny, I don't mind the gameplay that much. I do enjoy it but what makes this game endearing to me is the atmosphere and music. It's interesting how the relaxed environment contrasts with the brutal difficulty sometimes, there are incredibly challenging levels in all of the games. The first one you're playing now is one of my favorites. The 3D ones and the newest entry Umihara Kawase Fresh lost a little bit of the magic imo but I still had a lot of fun with them. I hope you're enjoying it!
I quite like the pixelated photos they use for the backgrounds, maybe it's an acquired taste or something. I remember finding it a rather odd artistic decision but grew to like it.

Started playing Kenshi. I bought this on a whim after seeing it and thinking it looks interesting. I'm not sure it's gonna do it for me though. It seems like a huge grindfest and the controls are aids. Having no quests or objective kind of sucks so far because I still don't know shit about how anything works or what I should do and I'm also weak as fuck. There are a shit ton of bandits too. Harvesting their stuff after they die is extremely tedious. The gameplay in general seems tedious. This is after just a few hours though. I hope I will eventually get to the point where it becomes fun.

I'm…seriously disappointed. The game feels very half-finished. I should not have to dig through Reddit posts to find what the fuck "swamp coral" looks like, where to find it, and how to get it when I do.

Doom + Doom II and official level packs, around 200 levels in total, currently on Master Levels for Doom II, so I completed some 80 levels already.
Some levels are fun, others are a complete slog, but listening to podcasts while playing has helped me with not quitting the game in these bad levels, because the good levels are worth it.

one thing I dont understand about fallout games is how bows and arrows or crossbows arent used more often
the oldest bows date back 10,000s of years and are still used today
surely after a nuclear apocalypse people would be using bows and arrows more?

Although the bow and arrow mechanics in TES:Oblivion are really bad so im glad in a way they didnt inflict that on us again in fallout 3 and new vegas

>>61995i guess the people in game prefer even the crappiest, most rusted pistol to a bow, and such guns were plentiful if i remember the lore correctly
though there are many meatheads who use melee weapons in the fallout world, but those are probably too dumb to use a bow
No.61999
>>61998I suppose the lore supports the idea that there were just so many guns and ammunition lying around that bows are unnecessary, but since they have throwing spears, id assume bows were within the realms of feasibility.
Im just nit-picking. its a fun game
