Agreed, I think the first game I saw this in was Tunic. It was a great addition!
Hello World!
Agreed, I think the first game I saw this in was Tunic. It was a great addition!
Right? When I was a kid I would specifically enjoy the “challenge” of trying to beat something over and over. Nowadays though… I just like playing a game for the experience. I still like feeling “progression”, so things go from difficult to easy as my character advances. But having to repeat something multiple times? Eh… just not my jam anymore.
That’s actually what I tend to do, but would be nice (for laziness) to have two different settings. Or for cases where games don’t allow adjustment after starting.
Funny you bring up Kena, because that is actually probably a prime example for me too. Loved the rest of the game, but the boss fights were a bit too difficult imo!
I played a ton of StarCraft back in the day! I was never too serious about joining a clan (just dabbled), but I now remember some of the things you mentioned with the chat rooms, and clan “tags”. I might be imagining it, but wasn’t there also some way to set colors on letters in names too (holding down alt and pressing numbers or something…) That might have honestly been my first experience with “bots” for things adjacent to games.
Good memories, thanks very much for sharing!
Wow, that’s a crazy coincidence! That “patron” system sounds pretty interesting too, seems like a good way to incentivize veterans to help new players. Interesting that I haven’t really heard of any more recent games having that (as far as I know).
That sounds amazing, it is good to hear there are still some groups that have kept in contact, even after all that time!
That’s awesome when you can organize an in-game group like that to achieve something you couldn’t do alone. Sounds like fun times for sure! :)
Just makes me wonder if the same thing happens in other communities. Say someone posts a photo of a National Park, are there replies how they’ve hiked most of the trails at that park and decided it’s not worth visiting?
I can see both sides too, “well we are informing people about the cons of that park, so they aren’t eaten by the vicious bears!”. I get that, I do! People have an opinion they want to share, nothing really wrong with that. Does that understanding make it enjoyable for me as the person just sharing the photo? Not so much…😂
I can never tell if comments like this are a joke. Starfield has tons of issues, don’t get me wrong, but I’m still playing it because I’m having fun. Why put 80 hours into something if you aren’t enjoying it?
Personally if I’m not having fun in a game, I’d just stop after a few hours.
Sorry, not that I know of! Poor phrasing on my part, should have said “more excited than if there were a Portal 3 announcement”.
I’m honestly more excited about this than a Portal 3 announcement! :) Loved both the puzzles and the story / vibe of the first one!
An ultralisk was the first thing that I thought of.
Ventoy is awesome, love being able to load a ton of different boot images on a single USB drive! The only issue I’ve run into is the occasional image that won’t boot. Not sure if this is expected, or you need to sometimes tweak settings to get it working?
I picked up a 4070 and have been really happy with the low power draw (and therefore heat) after undervolting it.
