i type way too much about video games and sometimes music
Some single player games I’ve replayed often that aren’t roguelikes would be…
Dishonored Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 Prey 2017 Hitman, but specifically the World of Assassination games Bethesda RPGs Grand Theft Auto/Rockstar, specifically for me 5 or Red Dead Redemption Dark Souls (I replay it on offline mode predominantly anyway) Dying Light Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor/War Halo MCC campaigns Mount & Blade series Katana ZERO Vanquish/other platinum games
At its own formula? I thought Palworld had a whole like crafting and base building/management side. That’s not really what I wanted out of a pokemon type game, and so I didn’t get Palworld. I can understand it being a better game for somebody who likes that, but I don’t know if that qualifies as Pokemon’s formula.
Have you tried the Mooncrash? It does have a timer!
It makes sense. I respect the hell out of the guy for being honest and true of his morals and standing by his community, but I’m sure he knew what he could get into by doing that, and he took the shot anyway. I hope he’s just been shuffled around elsewhere and still has a job.
Felt like it was doing just fine to me for how advanced the systems were on a console that was six years old. I do wish you were able to play it, it’s an awesome game, it indeed has ambitions that surpass the hardware, but I do think they managed to pull it off, if only by the skin of their teeth.
Me too. I know it’s a bit of work to set up an alternate mode and method to get to different planets and missions, and I’m sure teams are run really tightly on what gets worked on or not due to paying for whole teams to work, but I do wish they did what they could to future proof it.
A lot of always online games are awesome, have artistic merit, and can be looked back upon later as gaming history, and if they don’t preserve these “art pieces” then a huge chunk of gaming history will likely disappear into the ether in 10 or 20 years. It seems a little silly to me that we can go back and play Mario 64, or even Helldivers 1 and see what that was like, but Helldivers 2 will become an inaccessible splash screen, it’s a waste of all of the time and work, and even the money that went into making this happen in the first place.
Did the first one really have offline? I played the shit out of it, but I was always connected. Sure, they should implement something similar here, too, but it is genuine work they need to put in to get it there, I’m sure they had to invest that for the first game especially since it was on the Vita.
It isn’t arbitrary, though, go on any of the communities that care about the meta war and you’ll see people really do keep up with it and enjoy it, they work with each other to focus on the major orders and do a bit of roleplaying at the same time.
I know that you’re very anti always online, and I understand and agree that it should be optional, but to say that nothing comes out of it would also be disingenuous.
I mean, this game has a meta war that determines all available planets, mission types and rolls out content based on community involvement. It would be nice to have an offline mode, too, but this game is not completely decoupled from being online, unlike Hitman or something.
Yeah, I saw a review where the guy was like “what mechanics are there are really polished” and to me that was saying that they can really feel an absence of the “rest of the game”, and so its probably not that far along.
The recent star ocean remake reminds me of that, I think it’s got action combat
I thought that it was going to be new Bethesda content, but then it was just workshop content, so it’s not substantial.
Pong was the last good game, everything since then is garbage /s
Not the same thing at all. When the Crew is lost, a unique game and its world are lost with it. That’s like saying if you want to play something like Metal Gear Solid you can go play Hitman. They’re broadly the same genre, but a lot of unique art and experience is lost by just giving up and letting it go the easy way.
I do believe there are touch pad covers you can get, for me though the joystick is what wore down, so I have an extra rubber cap over the top now
I’m hoping it’s something like opening it up and cleaning it out, I’m wishing you luck on that one, if mine died it’d be like an end of an era
Same, I used one forever, wore the joystick down to the hard plastic underneath and it eventually ceased to turn on, I ended up incredibly lucky, some random redditor said he bought one that he never used and actually sent it to me free of charge and I still randomly go on steam and just thank the guy for letting me continue to use this controller.
I really hope they eventually release another or something
Difficult for me to recommend since they’re discontinued and likely pricey, but I still use a Steam Controller daily and find that with thorough bindings it can handle a surprising amount of PC only games, so I’d personally recommend that if it can be had at a fair price.
I suppose the idea of someone’s convictions being for sale isn’t really a new idea, and I don’t follow Keighley, I just found the writing style of the article interestingly venomous. I didn’t place any value in his opinions as it was, so there’s nowhere for my opinion to really go to given the new information, but I’m certainly not saying it doesn’t matter.
I understand that given context, and agree that sounds shamefully cynical and a fall from grace for certain.
That’s one that I was hesitant to include, because I feel like it’s more to do with my love of the era Bioware made, and nostalgia than it is a promotion of how the game holds up nowadays. But I personally love KoTOR!
