They don't make good games anymore so I keep returning to classics. Bf6 is the only AAA game I've enjoyed in years and it's still kind of shit

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

is Witcher 3 a AAA game? because I enjoyed that. also Helldivers2

but uhh yeah I ain't really played any others that I can recall since playing kino der toten

Dude Witcher 3 came out over 10 years ago! Haha

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

and I played it for the first time like four years ago and it took me three years to beat the main story

what's the point of playing games at time of release if my hardware is five years behind and I have a huge backlog of games to play anyways

okay you have GOT to play Sea of Stars. You ever want to play Chrono Trigger with a friend or spouse? It's 3 player Chrono Trigger and the story is good. So i guess you could play it with a polycule, i never thought of that before.

Thanks for the rec! Tons of great indies. I was referring specifically to huge budget games

I fucking hated Garl. He had the same energy as "who had a better story than Bran" in GoT.

But everyone in the game loved him so much more than I could even imagine.

Anyway, the game is alright. A few too many nods to old RPGs and, imo, it didn't stand on its own well enough.

That's fair. Not every thing out there is for everyone and this felt like fanservice writ just for me. Some games resonate and some don't. I especially liked it because my wife, who really has only gotten into stardew and monkey island/grim fandango, independently asked to play it. Like, it wasn't always me bringing up when would our next session be, and that felt special. She's relatively new to gaming and it was simple enough that she could grasp and enjoy the mechanics. There were enough granular difficulty settings that you could play exactly the game that you wanted to play. If you weren't enjoying it, I mean aside from the story and complaints about taste are as varied and valid as... Shit I'm too tired enough to make an appropriately crude metaphor but assume I referenced diogenes and buttholes. I think I mentioned everything is for everyone or something like that. The game was as easy or hard as you wanted it to be. If there is a sequel to the game I will buy it, especially if it's the same folks writing it.

As soon as I can assemble my own polycule, this will be the first game we play.

Followed by Slay the Spire 2 co-op.

My wife just purchased a game for me and I am eager to play it, but it has to be couch coop for sea of stars, doesn't it.

I loved 2042 after they patched it but haven't been able to get into 6 really… Did you play both? If so, what stands out as notably better about the most recent iteration?

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I refunded 2042 so can't really compare. But basically... It just plays really well. The guns feel very satisfying to use. Conquest mode feels like a true return to form. Great sound design and visuals.

Bf1 is my favourite in the series for reference having played all except 2042.

I doubt I'll reach more than a few hundred hours in bf6 before I uninstall forever and go back to playing bf1 and bf4. It doesn't seem like EA is interested in adding anything to the classic modes and is hyper focused on battle pass and battle royale and other stupid shit nobody wants.

Biggest gripe is maps are too small. It's really dumb taking off in a jet and immediately being able to see the enemy airstrip. It should be like way, way bigger lol

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Hmm yeah I think I'd really enjoy a Planetside 2 with modern military motif minus all the "simulation" (menu clicking) and learning curve of something like Arma. A quick search says the Super Hornet's combat range is ~300mi, definitely not a "see the other side's airfield as soon as you're up" amount of distance.
