So, I started playing World of Warcraft again this weekend ... 😁
I've been playing it on and off since just after its European release in 2005. My oldest characters have reached legal drinking age. 😅
I stopped playing in 2021 as I really disliked the Shadowlands expansion. The one before was excellent, and I'm now playing Dragonflight from 2022, which also seems good so far. There is a new one coming after the summer or thereabouts. We'll see how long I last this time!
@penguingeek I played it a bit when it was brand new and forgot about it afterwards. I have only just recently discovered that it is still in active development, which I frankly find bloody amazing after 20 years.
Hrm.
I've avoided Nier: Automata because of the fanbase/fanart, but I just got curious and actually looked up a short video and... it kind of looks like what I wish Bayonetta 3 had been.
Anyone have any experience with it? How open is this? Hub based? JRPG styled? Level based with larger stages?
@NaClKnight@Gwendolyn I think Gwendolyn said it very well, the fourth wall break combined with the 😏 face you can see on the devs face.
It would be annoying as hell having to wear something like that and be careful about indecent exposure all the time, so maybe trying to identify with the character, some of that annoyance transfers over. In a way, if 2B only wore underwear it would be less annoying 😂
I've been questioning myself about why I feel this way and was trying to process why despite being into gals, I wasn't a fan of fanservice. Like, sure I like what I see, but not like this, and I think you nailed it. I can't help but put myself in her place and i guess there's like a feeling of second hand violation.
@frank I agree that they are often a bit conservative.
Personally I think I’d have a hard time making a good recommendation, especially for an international audience.
Would a few screenshots, one or two quotes and a summary be helpful? „These are the outfits of the main protagonist (if they show some skin), a character sometimes uses the F word and there’s a demon in the game“
@fallenhitokiri yeah that would be helpful. There is a big difference between realistic blood and gore that almost made ME throw up and “there is some 8-bit Minecraft blood when you head shot a character”
Decided to start a replay of Tomb Raider. Crazy to think the rebooted version is already 11 years old.
When I played this the first time around, I thought this scene looked incredible! And although some of the graphics in this game still stand up well today, it’s definitely showing its age!
playing through Mass Effect 1 the last few days. Man, that game feels somewhat badly designed. It feels like it wants to be both a #crpg and a shooter, and it doesn't quite pull it off.
Also the Legendary Edition I am playing has so many spots that are too dark to see it feels like walking through the game blind at points. If I have to use the map to find the exit of the room there's definitely something wrong.
@kyonshi the Mako sections were very divisive but I loved them, the series leans harder into being a shooter in later instalments, it feels more polished but loses something in the story parts I feel
@kyonshi Hm. I really loved Wrex & Garrus right from the start, and Tali was fun, too. The human woman was grating with her space racism and the human man was actually pretty good, but took time to open up. The only crew member I never really liked was Liara - she was too fan-servicey for me.
#gaming perhaps an extremely obvious observation about #manamon: when next starting from scratch, try and get all my creatures up to high levels like really high levels as soon as I can. I'm walking through that path before the tunnel after the first stadium, and while my initial manamon is quite advanced now at level 20, I've still got a couple that are only at level five. I'm learning so much though. This requires skill and patience.

I gotta be honest for Switch 2 I just want a more powerful Switch 1. And when we get a more powerful Switch 1 I don’t want to hear nerds complain ;_; #gaming#videogames#nintendo
I’ve been playing and enjoying games like Virtua Tennis 4 for more than a decade, and these jokers want to come along and say “we’re absolutely shutting down your SINGLE PLAYER game in two years.” #StopKillingGames
@killyourfm A friend of mine I grew up with has played Tennis games on various consoles and PCs for a long time, and also enjoys the sport in real life. Once he finds this out, he'll probably rant over beers the next time I see him lol.
@huuishuu cool story. Still shitty. It's never okay to demand others withhold their political message for your own comfort. If you have a problem with the message, you are free to ignore the content. Nobody is forcing you to participate.
