lol so what exactly are they missing? getitng "stuck' and not fully exploring the area to find the thing to beat to get the morph ball bomb, or beating it and getting that and not using the new ability to try getting out? mix of both across different people?

was looking at what things was well received at the time that i had never played, wihch works well under proton, and figured i could spend $5 on dead space barely into it and oh man is this a late 00's game with the demeanor and proportions of the female character int he intro scene its especially jarring after playing through Control twice

spore was super disappointing, it seemed super cool for it to be effectively 5 different games bolted together building off of your actions in each one, but that kind of backfirees when none of those 5 games are very good metro exodus, on the other hand, was really enjoyable

dragon enthusiast posted:it's cool as you go down the skill tree and gain the ability to pick up progressively larger objects, eventually including boss enemies it is neat to see the videos of "it was really exciting when we got a voluteer to telekinetically move a pencil a few inches! maybe we can even move a cup in the future!" shortly after finishing a fight by pulling a chunk of concrete from a nearby wall and throwing it 10 meters at high velocity directly into somebodys head

picked up some old games on steam sale that i never played when they were new, including stalker shadow of chernobyl, figured this would work fine under proton on linux it does, no question about that, but oh man the vulkan translated 3d rendering makes me think my gpu is going to catch on fire, the temp just keeps increasing and the fan kicks on full blast before long like, i understand some weird stuff will happen, but this should not be very strenuous on a rtx 2080 ti

Casual Encountess posted:like i typically hate builder games because theyre frequently user hostile. ark sucked whole rear end, minecraft annoys me. i like qol things like factorios drone automation. i dont mind struggling initially, but it annoys me that in valheim i have to continuously fuel torches. its tiny poo poo like that. i know everything is in eternal beta but ark sucked because everything ultimately sucked to do i wanted to like don't starve, but gently caress no, i cannot stand things like "collect 5 of resource A to make 1x resource B, 5x B to make 1xC, 5xC -> 1xD, 5xD -> 1xE", need 5xE to build this cool thing, so 5^6 of the basic resource seriously gently caress needing exponential growth of one basic resource to do something neat, i didnt see a way around that in dont starve, but i could very easily be wrong i saw the crafting recipes for transmuting copper -> iron -> gold bars in stardew valley and thought "oh no", but then i kept going deeper in the minds and was immensely relieved that i could just mine iron and gold ore directly

my stepdads beer posted:afterwards I bought that snow survival game The Long Dark hoping for more but kept starving and freezing while throwing rocks at rabbits i bought that on sale for a big percentage off during a sale of some sort, so i wasnt paying too much attention to any specific thing in my cart i generally dont like open-ended survival games with no story in which the only point is to play until you die, so i spent a decent amount of time on the story mode of the long dark, and stopped playing before completing what parts of the story are even published (maybe 3/5 chapters last i knew?)

id be tempted to pick up horizon zero dawn, but im seeing mixed things about it on protondb there are games rated super good (doom eternal was one) that just didnt work at all for me, but i see a proton version 6.3 in steam now, so i might roll the dice and return it if it doesnt work

i had to get a refund for horizon zero dawn since it was acting weird under proton during the intro cinematic after starting a new game, then it crashed later on still during that cutscene i want to buy and play disco elysium and i guess i dont have a good excuse since rolling the dice with proton compatibility doesnt actually cost me anything if the answer is "no"

i liked shadowrun dragonfall better than hong kong, but only because of some of the not-originally-in-the-game (directors cut? idk) content glory's side mission was spectacular and contained some of my favorite video game music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxZY3dr-JoM (edit: lp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mikU9SKDe0, edit 2: wtf i didnt vet that before posting it, they made a big hosed-up choice, nevermind -- edit 3: this is what i meant to link to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRi3jTdTKkE&t=5041s) i liked being able to side with vauclair and see exactly how killing off the dragons irreparably fucks over the entire world Lysidas fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Jun 27, 2021 |

shoeberto posted:The story is pretty good, too, but it's mostly on the strength of its characters. The main plot is more or less just generic fantasy end-of-the-world stuff but it's a good excuse to run around a cool game world and meet fairly well fleshed-out NPCs. i didnt have very high expectations but i was very impressed by how the writers pulled a ton of random plot threads together and gave a lot of side stories a satisfying conclusion, and how the story built on events of previous games in a way that felt natural like in the first game the knowledge of how to make new witchers is obliterated in the siege of kaer morhen, which doesnt have much direct impact on games 1 or 2 except for trying to motivate the player with "this group burned down your home", but in 3 this kind of technique is the only way anyone can think of to break the enchantment on the elf, and you have to follow yennefer's instructions to get the ingredients, the other witchers are like "you arent supposed to know how to do this, witch"

Sagebrush posted:i guess i should probably play outer wilds huh? everyone seems to react to it like subnautica yes, absolutely there arent many tips/hints appropriate to say before even starting it, but this one is worthwhile: the default view of the ship log is by planet, but it also has a "rumor mode" view that connects information like  which can be way more useful in figuring out whats going on and what to do/explore next

i figured id give doom eternal another try since its 75% off, it didnt work under the current proton release last time i bought it and i refunded it, it actually starts now to get me to a "bethesda.net" account screen where i have to log in ... to the game? what the gently caress is this ~60% chance im going to refund it again

pseudorandom name posted:capitalism sows the seeds of its own destruction i refunded doom eternal anyway, it crashed when i started a campaign after starting the game with network cable disconnected so i didnt have to log in to it looked in to using apparmor to block network access but it seemed to be matched by executable path and afaik there kind of isnt one with wine executables, might keep looking into that for halo master chef collection, not at all interested in any of the garbage "community' stuff in that

steam in home streaming still has some issues in my experience trying to stream outer wilds from my linux desktop running through proton, to my linux laptop, and have a xbone controller work through the streaming link, has not worked yet despite trying a few workarounds not sure i restarted steam between one or two of those tweaks though

The Fool posted:I use the Xbox streaming to my laptop or iPad all the time. easiest way to get evening play time in without disturbing the kiddo yeah streaming works really well, recently found a workaround for what i mentioned a while ago (in some other thread? idk) about not being able to stream games run through proton and using vulkan d3d emulation, which is to switch my desktop resolution (normally 4k) to be the same as my laptop (1080p), that is great but i have never managed to get a xbone controller connected to my laptop to work over the streaming link, playing outer wilds with keyboard + mouse is weird fake edit: this is loving spectacular

i was going to buy a switch a while ago but decided to wait for a potential hardware spec bump that afaik still never happened? id still buy one but the longer i wait the more i think "okay a switch+ or whatever might be even closer now!" and then still dont buy one on a totally unrelated topic i wonder how well xbone controllers work with the emulators mentioned in that article

all of this is real good to know, thanks, also just bought hollow knight on a friends kid's reocmmendation when seeing it was 50% off on steam, i get the feeling a thirteen-year-old might have a lot more patience for grind-y combat i am very much not a fan of dark souls and also bounced off of a sci-fi souls like game (hellpoint) so we will see how much i like this
