the game awards are stupid. only reason everyone watches it is they have E3 style announcement trailers between the awards

Has anyone played “cloudpunk” ? Kind of a blade runner thing https://www.google.com/search?q=cloudpunk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

i played a demo of that, it looks real nice but is pretty light on gameplay, you just deliver packages for people and there's a story of some sort that emerges, i didn't see enough of it to tell if it's interesting. falls under 'walking sim'
― ciderpress, Thursday, 19 November 2020 04:11 (three years ago) link
despite being driving and not walking
did anyone play fight'n rage ?

I played and finished Cloudpunk. I liked it and they've updated a few cool things recently like adding an in-ship view with cockpit.
I posted upthread about it but to recap.
The voice acting is a little irritating, so I turned it off.
The ai traffic can also be annoying so avoid the main roads.
The graphics and city look superb, they've done a real good job of making a believable city out of voxels, it's processor hungry though.
The game itself is decent, it's not difficult and you'll not struggle with any of it. It's pretty much drive here and walk there, which I like.
In short if you like the look of it you'll get some joy from it. Once you finish it though there is nothing really to go back to (I collected everything in the map)

listed out all the current/previous gen games i still want to play before i allow myself to buy a PS5 and got to 50 before capping it. so i guess I'm set for a while.

Well done lol

Enough, probably

too true. that's why i'm not feeling too bad about missing out on a PS5 this season

Beware: Slay the Spire is super addicting.
― Basic Chan Ho Park (Leee), Thursday, 26 November 2020 19:41 (three years ago) link
ugh, yes it is. i went through a phase with that a while ago. it's also crazy walking into a game like that, which you expect to take over your life. feels good
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 26 November 2020 23:51 (three years ago) link
it's so good
what I wouldn't give for a slay the spire / dominion with decent art direction

I’d read any list of 50 video games listed by ciderpress no matter the premise tbh

i got cities: skylines and shadow of the tomb raider on sale. the latter is very reminiscent of the uncharted games - looks amazing, some fun puzzle parts, pointless combat, very on-rails and easy. i know some people hate those kinds of games but i like them once in a while. i was a little high when i started playing it and the graphics were blowing my mindcities: skylines is really cool but also makes me feel dumb. there's a lot going on in it and a lot to manage but also it doesn't help that the instructions/tutorial are very minimal. i've started like five cities and i'm still not sure i'm connecting power correctly. but it's one of those games where you play it for a bit and then when you are trying to go to sleep it's running on the back of your eyelids

cities skylines ultimately turns into a traffic management simulator, when my cities got big enough to have to deal with that i'd usually check out
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 15:29 (three years ago) link
it's really fun to zoom all the way in and watch people walking around and houses being built

My ps4 came with both horizon and god of war and I threw away the download card (in error) cause the box art looked terrible. Sigh
― calstars, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 16:53 (three years ago) link
shadow of the tomb raider on sale. the latter is very reminiscent of the uncharted games
this annoys me because clearly Uncharted stole all of TR's ideas but also because TR has missed so many opportunities over the years that Uncharted became the default and better franchise and TR is a poor imitation
― Clean-up on ILX (onimo), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 18:00 (three years ago) link
not really fair to Tomb Raider, considering its concept was "Indiana Jones with boobs" while Uncharted got to be "Indiana Jones" period
― Nhex, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 18:02 (three years ago) link
just realized that if i can develop something called "boob simulator" and price it at $0.99, i may make a millions dollars
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 18:05 (three years ago) link
what would nathan drake look like with boobs? pay less than a dollar and stop wondering
probably pretty easy just put a spring inside a boob and let the user touch the boob to drag the spring, tune the parameters a bit and it's done
― is right unfortunately (silby), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 18:06 (three years ago) link
i like that idea but i want to add ray tracing
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 18:07 (three years ago) link
also, what about detachable boobs? the frogs were onto something there

I'm on the final boss in Mortal Shell. Highly recommended for anyone who digs soulslikes.
― the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 19:13 (three years ago) link
:O
that is very timely post, because i was just browsing for a new game to play. last night i beat hades for, i think, the final time. i got the first at around 30 hours, the "real ending" at around 40-50 (don't remember), then the REAL ENDING at around 120
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 19:17 (three years ago) link
oh dude, you need to play mortal shell. it's cheap, frustrating and absolutely up your alley. Plus I wanna talk about it with someone!
First three play sessions followed the traditional "okay, i must be doing this wrong because i can't get past the first two guys" play format, giving way eventually to the "oooooohhhhh i see how i can do this" and then rinse repeat once every two hours for about thirty total. You'll love it.
― the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 19:24 (three years ago) link
i did it without an internet check btw (with the exception of wtf i was supposed to do with the giant frog, which you should look up when it starts to bother you) and i recommend you do too
― the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 19:25 (three years ago) link
this final guy is a stone cold pain in the ass in that I totally know how to beat him except for his ONE special move that I can't work out avoiding. gonna need to put in some time tonight.

i bought Star Wars Squadrons for the vr experience. Not installed yet due to work taking over this week but anyone else tried it?
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 18:07 (three years ago) link
not yet but it's next on my list. a little concerned about x-wing/TIE fighter style gaming without my childhood ADVANCED GRAVIS joystick and keyboard combo
― adam, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 18:55 (three years ago) link
i'm curious about that too, let us know how it is! i don't expect much from a recent sw game though i have to say
― goole, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 19:05 (three years ago) link
fallen order was kinda ok!
― adam, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 19:12 (three years ago) link
nb i didnt beat it because i got super fuckin bored
i watched part of a playthru and it looked very average.
i haven't played an arcadey flight sim in a million so i'd love for squadrons to be good
― goole, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 19:18 (three years ago) link
ok, I'll start installing and try tonight
