A friend gave me this game on the 10th, apparently the day it came out of Early Access and it has finally done what I have really wanted from one of these survival type games: Let me have an army of followers that aren't just decorations for my base. It makes playing solo actually enjoyable because I don't have to tweak the settings to balance combat and resource gathering around not having friends.

It having slightly less janky combat than Conan Exiles is also a big plus. Not quite Dark Souls, but it feels nice to swing a giant hammer around.

Plus you can build mobile flying bases on the Egyptian themed map ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

You're probably gonna wanna go check yourself into the nearest mental health clinic. You'll get some nice socks out of it, at the very least.

Study with his mouth, more likely.

Obsidian was never owned by Bethesda, tho they became a subsidary of Xbox Game Studios in 2018.

They have always kinda been an "on commission" type studio. Before The Outer Worlds 1, I don't even know of any Obsidian developed game that wasn't part of another big dev/publisher's series (a lot of their titles are sequels).

That's pretty low for a AAA game lol

FO4 is almost there if you play it in Survival mode.

Oof. Your bus doesn't happen to have a way of using one of those Bluetooth FM blaster things does it? Just play something off your phone through that tuned to the right station on the radio. The one I drove didn't havr nothing for that, but mine was old as shit. Tho I guess not old enough to have a cigarette lighter port for the kids that smoked.

Real radio be like: 30 minutes of music free ads. I literally stopped listening to FM radio because I would drive to another town 45 minutes away and not hear a single fucking song.

The point is to get super high and hang out on toxic planets for the trippy colors.

Fallout 3 is a weird one because it's definitely a good game and a halfway decent RPG at least on the same level as Oblivion; but as a fan of Fallout prior to its release, it doesn't give any of the same vibes as Fallout. Different sense of humor, different cultural things since it's set on the otherside of the country as the originals, and kinda just feels like a serial killer murdered Fallout and wore its skin like a suit.

If it was called something else, I think I would have more fondness toward it.

This feels really insulting to New Vegas, FO1 and FO2. Those (and Tactics but that's not in the chart) would be gourmet burgers if not prime rib/filet mignon.

Shattered Horizon was fucking sick as hell until they started messing with classes and eventually just broke the game entirely. It was a NASA Punk zero G FPS made by a benchmark app company with fairly realistic bullet physics. Balance was basically just using the shotgun mode on your gun since you're in space there's no drop or damage falloff making it able to snipe a wall of bullets at people a few kilometers away ๐Ÿคฃ

 

So I got a bug in my butt to install Mortal Kombat 11 last night and was doing the story mode which is basically like a movie with intermittent fights and it occurred to me that I love Mortal Kombat but just the characters, the worldbuilding, and the lore. I've never been big on fighting games and as I age, I am finding it harder and harder to pull off special combos quick enough to even do much other than slapping buttons and hoping for the best.

My favorite MK game was one of the ones on PS2 where the story mode was basically God of War gameplay turning it from a fighter into an action adventure game.

If Midway were to make a Mortal Kombat title that was like Dark Souls but set on Outworld or something, that would definitely be my jam.

Another would be Warhammer 40k. I am not at all interested in the PnP gameplay nor a lot of the video games. But I love the lore and the game Rogue Trader is fucking dope, playing more like a traditional CRPG in that setting and not an RTS or straight up shooter.

Do y'a have any games like that? Where you like everything about them except the actual gameplay?
