General gaming discussion

You love to see it. 😁

Re Wizards, not Arco!

Stolen from the Xbox thread, but looks like the devs of Atlas Fallen have not given up on it. New free update for existing owners which updates/expands the combat, refreshes the story, and adds more content.

It was supposed to be a killer app for Series consoles but I couldn't see anything special about it. I'm not a huge fan of first person shooters and Halo Infinite finally confirmed that for me. And the game cost an absolute fortune to get to market, which makes it super meh in my opinion. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance, but I got bored.

I went down a Youtube rabbit hole of watching Soulsborne bosses fighting each other. This was the highlight, the Dragon World Cup final.

I tried starting it again not too long ago, but something else came out in the meantime and I got distracted. I enjoyed my playthrough of it originally when it released but it was a bit buggy. This should give me a reason to head back into it proper. A fairly good hack n slash looter!

Re: Halo, I played the first one for a small bit. It took 2 clips of the assault rifle to kill 1 enemy, and I called it a day soon after that. Don't get the love for it tbh. Seemed very generic shooter to me. I must not have been the target audience!

Well, the worst kept secret in gaming has finally been made official - Deadlock gets its own page on the Steam store. Shame it's something I have no interest in…

You weren't wrong about the dialogue but I can set that aside if it provides 10-15 hours of decent gameplay and what I've played so far is alright.

And more games should have a fridge that talks dirty to you while upgrading your weapons. It's bold, creative game design.

I've a few collectors editions. Usually picked up when GameStop or similar were flogging them off the half nothing. Very rare that they are actually collectable.

The one I missed out on which still hurts was BOTW, they had one left which I bought online, but they just sent me the game. By the time their awful customer service got back to me the last one was well sold. 😭

I do always laugh when people complain about them not coming with the game. If you are "collecting" them then you don't want to open them just to get your game out.

This place is more console centric, but unfortunately the PC gaming forum is dead so…

It reminds you of Prison Architect because that's where the Dev took his inspiration from at the beginning because in his own words, he wasn't a very good artist and only after hiring someone did Rimworld take on it's own style.

Anyway, to answer your question, it's my most played game on Steam, so yeah I play quite a bit of it. It's fantastic, cracking colony builder/story generator etc. So many different playstyles and ways to go about things. It's not as deep as Dwarf Fortress but having tried that multiple times, Rimworld is far far more approachable even than the DF Steam version and Rimworld is plenty deep as is. There is also a stupendous mod scene, gives what was already a huge game some nearly infinite replayability with various styles etc.

Want to start naked and alone with not tech or resources? You can and it's brutal but it's doable. Or start with multiple colonists and a good chunk of resources available? Go for it. Play with just a few pawns, play with dozens, limit the game to medieval or industrial tech, play on one of a dozen biomes, make it a 40K or Star Wars playthrough, go nuts.

Any questions, let me know.

I watched some gameplay of Deadlock. Another game with screen vomit. I can't be playing games like that anymore. I like Apex but I'll tolerate its busy HUD.

Is anyone here familiar with the Dead Rising games?

They are on sale on Xbox at the moment, so which one is the best to get?

I think people think MGS games are far better than they actually are. They've got great moments interspersed with overly long unnecessary dialogue interrupting the excellent gameplay. Also very weird to start with 3… But, we are in the era of remakes, and at least they're giving a bit of effort instead of just a few HD textures and give us money (looking at you Rockstar).
