Image isn't opening for me, but if it is who I think it is: Unruffled is the main reason I blocked db0 a long while back.

Is "Motivation" important to you in games? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago

I play a lot of games that either have no story or can easily be enjoyed while ignoring the story. The motivation for me to go out of my way off the main quest path is better/more fun stuff.

I think they need at least that, if there is no real motivator in the story line.

Recent breakthroughs in the hacking scene have been made against Sony's current hypervisor layer of protection which has, historically, been the breaking point of getting unsigned code running on the consoles. So it's only a matter of time before you may be able to pirate PS5 games.

If I hadn't played a bit of this game and just watched videos of the gameplay, I would have thought the combat sucked. Like visually it seems like you are not actually fighting real time, but solving puzzles that control the fight.

This is not the case. The puzzle part, the hacking, is just used to "open" the robots up so you deal a good amount of damage instead of barely anything. It makes every encounter more intense and gives this otherwise standard 3rd person shooter a very fun soulslike experience with guns instead of melee. You can't just rely on having good aim and movement, you need to multitask and solve the little minigame every few seconds to keep your damage up and it is gnarly. In a good way.

"lol you were never bullied" by jackasses...

The image anon is using as an example does not say they were not bullied. It says they weren't bullied just for liking anime, but for doing cringy stuff they saw in the anime like Naruto sprinting. Like, read the rest of the god damn sentence, anon.

Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true. Maybe read the link and educate yourself.

Donnie Darko but it's Musk's space junk instead of a jet engine.

ELI5: How does Frame Generation even work? (pawb.social)
 

It just kinda makes no sense to me. How can you improve the framerate by predicting how the next frame should be rendered while reducing the overhead and not increasing it more than what it already takes to render the scene normally? Like even the simplistic concept of it sounds like pure magic. And yet... It's real.

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?
