Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Looking for cozy / wholesome gaming communitiesEnglish7·1 day agoNot a discord server, but we have a (moderately active) cozygames community on the Threadiverse:
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•RimWorld - Odyssey expansion and update 1.6 out now!English1·1 day agoI will admit, your recommendation makes me want to play Rimworld with he new DLCs. :)
Sounds like there is a lot of cool new stuff.
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldOPto Games@lemmy.world•Shark Dentist is a 'horror roguelike' that's basically The Meg mashed up with an early '90s Milton Bradley toyEnglish51·2 days agoTumblr is still around?
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•RimWorld - Odyssey expansion and update 1.6 out now!English7·2 days agoI played the base game a lot (many hundreds of hours, also before it was released on Steam). I think I’ve only tried the royalty DLC.
On one hand I want to get back into Rimworld, on the other hand the mechanics from all the DLCs seem overwhelming.
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss - Closest modern equivalent?English4·2 days agoIt’s got a top-down CRPG view (similar to the Fallout 1/2), but Avernum: Escape from the Pit might fit thematically.
You end up in an underground fantasy world where “undesirables” are sent to by a corrupt empire.
Another option would be Underrail. Another top down CRPG, this time based in a post-apocalytic world where everyone lives underground. The world building is top notch and the combat is very well developed with lots of choices (it’s a also IMO a hard game). While the world building is strong, the writing (characters and their motivations) is rather weak.
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•I am working on a turn-based wargame, influenced by the old Win3.x era WinWar 2 gameEnglish3·2 days agoI had to read more than once to realise it is not a game about WinRAR.
I had the same issue. I was actually genuinely interested about how a wargame was made about WinRAR.
I can understand a business tycoon game where you have to develop a compression/archive software company. Very, very nerdy, but there is a logic here.
A wargame about WinRAR? That’s a whole different level.
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldOPto Games@lemmy.world•Nova Patria (in development), a Roman alt-history steampunk city-builder, launches a playtest and a Steam store page.English1·4 days agoI will add that as per the lore of the game, the Romans discovered steam power and started to colonize the new world. Rather unique I must say.
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games mightEnglish2·4 days agoFor sure, I am just curious. Not to lecture others, for my own knowledge. :)
I see where you are coming from, but as someone who speaks several other languages, I would say there can be benefits to lanagauge rules.
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games mightEnglish4·5 days agoDidn’t mean to imply you can’t, I was just curious about the formal rules for the word.
And it seems “impacted” can be used in the sense of “affected”.
I am confused :)
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games mightEnglish4·5 days agoJust a quick web search; the first few results which linked to dictionary style resources.
Now I am confused. :)
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games mightEnglish82·5 days agoAt first I was thinking, why not use “impacted”, it sounds a little bit awkward, but I’ve definitely seen it being used in relatively formal situations (or at least that’s what I remember).
But no, I looked it up and “impacted” should not be used in the sense of affected. TIL.
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Vintage Story announces Adventure Mode, an alternate game mode inspired by HyTaleEnglish5·8 days agoFirst time I’ve heard of Vintage Story, sounds like a well made Minecraft clone.
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of ThousandsEnglish54·11 days agoIt’s almost comical how incompetent the Xbox BU’s executive management has been for 10+ years.
Agent Karyo@lemmy.worldOPto Games@lemmy.world•Deus Ex devs say they weren't trying to make a statement when they made one of the most political games of all time: 'What I think is the right future for humanity is irrelevant. It's all about...'English3·10 days agoI am a big user of sniper rifle + pistol combos. It works pretty well.
Will need to post a mini-review of Revision the next time I get to replay Deus Ex.

I’ve played Deus Ex enough times that I sort of enjoy the clunky and RPG progression gunplay.

It's all about...'English3·11 days agoI really need to play it. I am sure I would enjoy it. I thought Human Revolution and even Invisible War (with mods) were decent. Invisible War is fundamentally flawed due to the small maps though.

Try one of the mods, they greatly improve things compared for he baseline game (I haven’t played the baseline version in 15 years).

It's all about...'English2·11 days agoI see. Yes, stealth is in a strange position where it’s difficult to use it full time. There are multiple missions/maps where you will eventually not be able to use stealth.
I can see what you mean regarding guns being clunky. They do get more effective as you level up and get better weapons. Early game gunplay is very iffy.
But I actually like the RPG approach to gunplay and how it forces you to try and avoid direct confrontation and use a mixture of stealth and combat.
That being said, these are all fair points.
I’ve actually never tried Revision. I only use GMDX. Should try it for next play through. i feel like I need to reinstall once I clear out a major deliverable for work. :)

It's all about...'English10·11 days agoI am just curious, what makes you say it has aged poorly in terms of gameplay? I would argue it holds up pretty well, but I am also a PC/KB+M only player. I strongly dislike UI/UX that has been compromised (from my perspective) for consoles/controllers.
Agreed regarding the sequels (haven’t played the fourth one, just the 2nd and 3rd sequel); they are OK, but not that special.
I am biased, but an Underground 3 (with no MTX) with a well written storyline but with lots additional open world gameplay would be a return to form for NFS.
