I think the biggest difference is that my brother is our DM and he’ll pull his punches if he can tell we’re getting really bad luck or frustrated.
Baldurs Gate doesn’t do that, and really shouldn’t. It’s supposed to be challenging. Ngl, having to control your entire party in combat is kinda difficult for me. I guess I’m too used to only having control of just my PC that it’s intimidating playing the other classes, especially the ones I don’t have much experience with. I also don’t have other player’s turns to plan my next turn.
Growing pains, I’m looking forward to the full release.
The up coming one
I play a weekly dnd session. I’ve been playing for almost 7 years. I thought I’d check out baldurs gate. I got absolutely bodied in the first encounter.
I learned 2 things; my DM is very kind and wants us all to have fun, baldurs gate is not kind and is coldly indifferent to my concept of fun.
I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was tougher than I thought. Saving helps a lot. I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten wrecked right away if I planned better.
I picked it up on Xbox back when it was released, because I liked the first one a lot. It was one of the biggest gaming regrets I’ve ever made. It is so goddamn tedious.
Like, I get why it’s that way. It’s the reason it’s popular. It’s all about the attention to detail and a semblance of realism, but holy shit do I hate it.
I got my first perfect bear skin and was pretty jazzed about it. On my way back to camp I got attacked by a mountain lion, sending me, my horse, and the skin down a hill. I only found my horse.
Maybe I did something wrong, but I’ve never been more upset at a videogame in my life.
I remember getting all the equipment that boosts your speed, going to a plantation at night, and just sprinting between slavers butchering them before they even where alerted to me.
I think gameplay wise, Far Cry peaked at 3 or 4. I’d say 5 and 6 weren’t as good in those regard, but oh boy is it waaay more fun to kill in them.
3 and 4 felt kinda weird, because you were andoutsider (3 much more than 4) that solves all the problems. It felt very white savoir.
Whereas in 5 and 6 it’s all “aww, yeah, let’s kill us some fascists!”
Hades is literally my favorite game of all time. I used to pass on rougelikes and other “hard” games, but decided to try it out after hearing about how it was pretty good.
I got it on my switch and got hooked. I loved it so much. It got me into challenging games. I’m even dabbling in soulslikes now.
I bought it on my PC when I upgraded. I wanted to support the devs, so I bought it for my brother and two other friends. I even bought it for a stranger I met a party because it was on sale.
Cult of the Lamb. I beat it back in November but picked it up again after the developers added a lot. I’ve been enjoying my replay. The new additions and changes fixed some of the things that annoyed me on my first playthrough.
I’m sorry for being rude. I must have been in a bad mood.
I’m not an expert driver, just a careful one. I’ve never had any driver assistance at all and don’t really see the need for them unless you’re distracted while driving.
Like, the only way they’d save my life is if they could avoid a front end collision, getting t-boned, or rear ended. They just seem annoying to me.
I drive a 2006 Corolla.
How bad are you at driving that you need a computer to let you know when you need to pay attention?
I want to use my things how I want to use them. Apple does not let me do that. They actually get in the way of how I want to use my things.
Kinda makes me miss the days when I had an ipod touch and a flip phone.
I sent my bother a text the other day. I got upset that he didn’t immediately respond, because I knew he had a smart watch.
I realized that I was getting upset for a condition neither of us set. I eventually heard from him and his watch didn’t really matter.
I also think the health monitoring is kinda creepy.
Imo, despite the bugs and sometimes because of them, they’re really fun games.
