I’ve been playing Project Zomboid and Farming Simulator 22 with my friends. Both great games, Zomboid is a hard game, until you start grasping all the mechanics, then it becomes a game of how long you will survive instead of surviving your first 2-3 days :)
and Farming Simulator is my drinking game, the game is chill, you get on discord with some friends and you can talk about anything and everything, cause you’re mostly driving in straight line. Pop open a beer and enjoy (keep going in straight lines)
I grabbed it for the couch co-op, which we really enjoyed in the first one. But in ftk2 every controller can control every character, which feels weird. Also playing with the controller feels more clunky than the original.
I tried the demo of American Arcadia, it’s a story driven side scrolling game, with some nice twist to it. The Demo can be finished in like 30 minutes, totally worth trying it.
I’ve always wanted to build a little PC, but I don’t have space or time to play games other than on a handheld on the sofa. I’ve been playing Xbox Game Pass on my Retroid Pocket 3 Plus and it’s been really good, but I’m wondering if a gaming pc streamed locally would be cheaper in the long run. It’d live under the TV...
To me this expansion was one of my favorite to date.
People keep complaining about asset reuse, but you know what they made it for inside the story. Map 1 are fractals, so slices of history brought back.
No new mechanic? But making map traversal use the skyscale, and using all the tools available to the skyscale is pretty new.
But to me it’s the story. I felt I connected more to the characters in this expansion than the others. They gave them a purpose some backstory, and if you were scared of reading there was plenty to learn from all the books and journal lying around.
I was super excited for this game, and after watching that gameplay video, removed it from my wishlist. Was really hoping for a good moria survival game, but all the mechanics in this video look subpar.
Ben slowly making my way through the story, and I’ve really been enjoying everything I’ve seen. Still in the first map. The map itself is really great, and why the map is the way it is, story wise is also impressive.
Been feeling the itch to get into an mmorpg. Hard to tell if there’s any good ones out. Seems some in the works but what is good this currently available?...
I’m working on a game right now, and life would be so much simpler if I could emit a signal when a PathFollow3D crosses the progress mark of 1.0 and resets. This would signify the end of a stage, and I could then use it to pop up the end-of-level overlay....
So these new activities will be available to players without the expansion right? they just won’t have the bonus of closing the rift for extra rewards?
Players usually want a good story in their games. I can enjoy a good story too, but sometimes I just want to get going and do stuff without listening to several minutes of dialog in-between action....

Is building a PC to stream to a handheld a bad idea?

Starfield's planets aren't all interesting, but they're not all "supposed to be Disney World" (www.vg247.com)
You'll probably find that a lot of planets in Starfield are pretty boring, but Bethesda says that's kind of the point.
Totally important question of a jaded veteran's opinion got confirmed. (Spoiler: yes, but.)

Is there a signal for when a PathFollow3D reaches the end of a Path3D?

Good singleplayer games without any story?
Players usually want a good story in their games. I can enjoy a good story too, but sometimes I just want to get going and do stuff without listening to several minutes of dialog in-between action....
