The exploration is interesting enough at least, and the computer log has a bunch of "Hey, You Haven't Finished Exploring This Area Yet, Dumbass" flags. peeling the layers off this thing will be fun I think. Don't mind me I'm just a bad player, I can believe that this gets interesting as you get deeper into it. Looking around various ruins in various places but eventually there's Spoopy Music and then a universe-destroying bang and then I die and return to the starting location. Sometimes it happens immediately if I investigate something I'm not supposed to be looking at yet I guess

Nah, the only way the loop restarts is if you kill yourself somehow or you hit the time limit. If you're in the right kind of place and looking in the right direction, you'll see what the time limit actually is.

doom 3 is real good, get it on le epique jamestore for free also, can I say how rad it is that you can play every single doom game as well as quake portably on the switch? dammit what a time we live in

Here is some useful guidance for the Outer Wilds DLC: there's a condescending option in the menus about reducing the scary that you should turn on because that part of the DLC is unfun bullshit and not why you're playing the game in the first place.

KidDynamite posted:i beat the game this week. and i gotta agree the game is mediocre af. the base building is super barebones and you can't move poo poo around, the combat never evolves past wack a thing, cast a magic, dodge roll. none of the choices matter one bit, and their are a bunch of mechanics you just have to figure out on your own for no reason. you can move stuff, but the question is why? there's a few area-of-influence structures, but after some initial setup the compound is easy to run. i like base-building but towncraft doesn't appeal to me, so i've been very lazy with the layout and it hasn't hurt anything i kinda dig the slow, heavy weapons, but yeah it's not hades or anything. i've been playing it heavy on the switch and it's fine as a handheld game. it sounds like it's a bit buggy on all platforms, but it's been mostly behaving for me and maybe both of those are because i only play it in short stints i do dig the visuals and the areas you can visit outside the dungeons, though they're all kinda same-y in function as resource/skill trade zones. it feels like they tried to go in both directions and stretched thin

the aesthetics are extremely on-point, though, and the way you can be a manipulative death cult leader or a benevolent(ish) cult leader is neat, if inconsequential. i started resurrecting followers then giving them long-life amulets, gotta get some methuselahs going

think i lost my first rimworld colony, i opened a sealed-away megaspider hive earlier than i should have, and recent events have led them to my base earlier than i am prepared for, i could load an earlier save and try to grab everything valuable and leave, but knowing a little more of the mechanics there are a few things id have done differently, so a new colony might be worthwhile

yeah at least the quippy npcs are mostly confined to the very beginning since the rest of the game is solo exploration for the most part. i get what's going on in the backstory in broad strokes but the death-by-supernova-every-25-minutes thing is really annoying just from a gameplay perspective even though i'm sure it's all in service of some INCREDIBLE NARRATIVE TWIST or whatever. why take a chill exploration game and then force the player to always be in a hurry. like i was exploring the station above the water planet and then went down to the water planet and was reading some logs when all of a sudden DOOOO, DOO DOOOOO (but enough about my posts) and i'm like poo poo now i need to quickly grab this other tablet and traverse over to the reader and mash through all of it so that it gets recorded into the computer log before i die. i hope the teleporters-going-back-in-time thing means i can make time flow backwards or slower or there's a snooze button on the "sun station" or at least something that means i don't have to be super focused and brisk-moving on each loop. also navigating through the hollow planet is a pain in the rear end (because it's all platforming and falling off costs you 5 minutes and see above) and everything i've discovered is telling me to find one of the two underground paths to the south pole so far. minor complaining aside it does seem fun enough so far, but i haven't got to the part where it makes me go  yet. looking forward to it though.

The most beneficial effects of the time loop for me was having a cap on the length of a wild goose chase and not having to worry about how to get back out of anywhere. Most areas in the game are sized so they can be mostly explored within that time, and if you missed anything important it gets tagged in the computer. It’s a gentle* reminder that you should be moving on to something else pretty often and keeping the breadth as well as the depth of the world in mind *as gentle as death by supernova can be at least. and there are far worse ways you can die

Been playing through the uncharted series again. 4 and LL look absolutely gorgeous on the PS5. I really wished they fixed the bullet sponge aspect in the 1-3 remasters, some of those sections are absolutely brutal and take away from the game. The stories are still fantastic though.

yeah, simultaneously you have a time limit on each cycle, and you have all the time in the world, i never felt like i was in a hurry for most of the game there are a few places in the game that are time-sensitive of when you can enter, but most of the difficulty in those is figuring out the way in and the right time to try, not actually pulling it off once you know what/when to do, so if you miss something it isnt usually too onerous to get back on the next cycle or whenever you want
