As a fan of Sucker Punch games… figured it was time to give their very first game a shot.

I’ve heard lots of good about this game before I even knew it was developed by Sucker Punch, mostly about how it was one of the earliest games to implement physics into its gameplay in such a crucial way.

Finally found a copy of it after searching for months (yeah they’re on eBay, but they’re pricey), and I’m excited to give it a go.

Indiana Jones has saved my hope for Elder Scrolls 6

Upvotes

I was playing Indiana Jones this morning over coffee. I was diving around some ruins, solving some puzzles, beating up some fascists when I suddenly stopped and realized how freaking good the ruins look. Don't know resolution or frame rate, but whatever it is it looks freaking great. Not only that, but it plays really well. Opening gates and entrances, scooting by traps, it all feels really good.

Starfield scared the crap out of me about how Elder Scrolls 6 would look and play. I'm not a total hater, I played a decent amount and enjoyed it, but it felt like I was playing a PS4 game graphics wise, gameplay wise, loading wise, etc.

Indiana feels and looks "next gen" and if Elder Scrolls uses the same elements and gamplay we'll be good.

Thanks Indy, you've restored my faith that ES6 can be what we've all been waiting for.

NLR Boeing flight sim helicopter setup

Upvotes

So I bought myself a next level racing Boeing flight sim, it’s great, what’s not great is it’s not very helicopter friendly. So I changed some bits and pieces here and there and now it’s fully helicopter/plane setup, pretty happy with the result.

Now I can finally sim flight in peace, just waiting for the pimax crystal light now, and I will have everything.

Cheers! 🤙🏻

Finally bought Elden Ring...and I'm not sure it's for me.

I'm at 118 minutes, so deciding if I want to refund.

I enjoy RPGs and open worlds, especially ones that have lots of things to find and explore, and where you become more powerful as you do so.

Maybe I'm just not good at souls-like games, but the timing of everything seems to be arbitrary. Sometimes I feel like I see an enemy make a move and it's slow, and other times they triple hit me with no warning.

I am at what is essentially the start of the game by this big gate. There is a big monster guy through the gate I was able to get to about 1/2 health before I died. The other direction is a little encampment of soldiers where I snuck around and backstabbed a number of them, but then the captain guy kicked my ass. I have tried about 10 times to kill the captain and no matter how I try to roll, I end up flat footed and he comes in with a triple strike.

I've increased Vigor 2 times so far, and I figure I can kind of "farm" this little area and increase a bit more, but I doubt it'll be enough to really help much, and it'll just make my future upgrades for damage that much more expensive.

There are a zillion guides online, but most of them are about where to go and what to do and they assume you're not getting killed by the first enemies you meet.

I played some Dark Souls and got to 4 kings before the edition I had basically shut down, and I've played a lot of Monster Hunter which has "slow weapons" but I am wondering if maybe this just isn't going to click. I kept hearing that "even if you don't like soulslike games this is still accessible" and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Edit; thanks for the massive amount of feedback and tips :) I'm going to keep it and explore in the other direction and stop using "RPG logic" where I feel like I have to fight every enemy I see cause they might have something good or whatever. It was $35 which isn't nothing, but that's the same as a bottle of whiskey which is no good for my health anyway so I'll skip drinking for a while and make myself lightheaded with the game instead :)

Winning hyper-difficult minesweeper is a whole journey

These are what is considered 100,000+ difficulty. Difficulty is linear and measures the expected amount of time, including all losses, to win a board. Expert is considered 50 difficulty, so the time to beat 100k should be around the time to win 2k expert games. These were my three most soul-crushing losses along the way and the eventual win. Board dimensions are 100×100/2184 and 74×54/1971, played on minesweeper.online

Looking for games with lots of progression systems

6 Upvotes

I just finished playing ASTLIBRA and it has a ton of different progression systems.

  1. You're character can level up
  2. Gear can get mastered
  3. Gems can be used to unlock skills
  4. Extra trinket slots can be unlocked to wield more gear
  5. Different orb types based on enemies killed can be used to upgrade stats
  6. A balancing scale can be used on items to gain passive stats
  7. An RNG drop system similar to looters with different tiers of loot (like common, uncommon, rare, and legendary chests).

Other games I can think of with lots of progression systems.

  1. Borderlands series
  2. Fromsoftware games

Looking for other games with a lot of different ways to progress your character and become powerful. The more ways to get strong the better. Single player games where you can grind a ton of different things to get better. Not looking for the MMOs.

Best Steam games for a "LAN" party?

207 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend me games which are good/perfect for the context of a LAN party (doesn't has to be "LAN" - if it's online only it's absolutely fine).

It doesn't matter if it's a game with a competitve nature or just for fun.

2 important things: - it should be kinda cheap - the more players the better

Thanks in advance!
