Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Resonite. Lots and lots of Resonite.
The limitless power to create anything and everything in-game, and collaborate with others for still greater creations...
I slept on Risk of Rain 2 for a long time but finally tried it out and damn, they did a great job converting the original from 2d to 3d.
Still picking away at Hades achievements, too. I’m at over 90% now and will trigger another one once I get back from my current run. 3 more after that: one grindy one, one gifty one, and one with a lot of heat. Might also go for 100% on the relationship bonds.
Bought all 3 RoR games. Terrible on all 3. Probably because I don’t stick to the games. I feel defeated and stop playing…just to start again a few months later.
I somehow didn’t realize there were 3 of them lol.
But yeah, these are definitely games you need to stick with and unlock stuff for progression. I didn’t make it past like stage 2 or 3 until I had unlocked a couple other characters.
And with the way the items stack, you lose versatility but gain power if you use the 3d printer to convert all of your powerups into a single one (though not every powerup is worth it, at least I think). I still haven’t beaten the game for the 2nd one, but I’m making it to the last level more consistently now.
My experience in ROR2 was, in the tutorial, I was told “You did it! Now head to the teleporter that takes you to the next level.” I had no idea where it was or what it looked like, and could not consider the question for 10 seconds because the level quickly built up with more and more infinite enemies.
I hate roguelike games in general because that randomization leads to some very, very uncontrolled and uncurated experiences where it throws the worst shit at a new player.
Picked up The Walking Dead Teltale game. I remember seeing them raved about when they came out but never got around to them. They are a lot of fun so far, I haven’t played any graphic novel type games before and I am really enjoying it
Is the stickied “What are you playing” post going to be updated? The current one is over a month old.
Anyways, I’ve been playing Penny’s Big Breakaway, and I am enjoying it thoroughly. It’s like a blend of Cappy mechanics from Mario Odyssey with a THPS style combo chaining system, and staged in levels reminiscent of 2D Sonic but transposed into 3D. The skill cap is way higher than your typical 3D platformer, and personally I find this type of design to be way more interesting than a collectathon.
It’s awesome if you get a lot of enjoyment out of combo chasing and improving your times, but I can tell it’s going to be divisive for those expecting a more conventional platformer. I have a feeling that this is going to end up on many “hidden gems” lists in the future.
I’ve been playing the Pokemon X romhack Eternal X on my 3DS as of late. I’ve been really enjoying replaying the game now that it’s an actual challenge rather than sleepwalking through yet another cakewalk of a Pokemon game. Pleasantly surprised by Nintendo’s announcement of Pokemon AZ today, I just hope it runs halfway decent (who am I kidding?)
I liked the card tactics, but I got very quickly bored of all the story conversations; given the way they seem to be connecting to the most obscure Marvel comic lore and characters. I’m sure it’s amazing to some people, but I could not give less of a shit who the “Original Midnight Suns” were, or even the lore behind my playable character.
Maybe when I return to it I’ll just start skipping any dialog not related to the core story.
Not mods per se, but there’s walk-through guides living up to their name by walking you through every step of every puzzle. As someone who loves CRPGs but is absolutely awful at puzzles, they’ve saved me countless hours in BG3 alone, let alone game’s in general.
An example search string would be “Baldurs Gate defiled temple puzzle”
As for the barrels, I can’t find one about those specially, but the Fair Fire mod removes unavoidable fire damage fromsurfaces, so that might be of interest 🙂
I’m about 45h in. So far I’ve completed most side stories, the Pokemon League and I’m now doing Dodonka Island. Still have most of the main story before me, didn’t even had a fourth party member for close to 35h. It’s still great.
Cyberpunk has really come into its own. I just wish it had more cosmetic options, outside a few iconic outfits there aren’t many options for good looking clothing unless you want to look like a member of a grunge band or go full casual daywear.
