Not everybody knows you shouldn’t fill up your hard drive completely. If someone doesn’t explicitly mention it, its safer to assume they don’t know so that you don’t accidentally give them advice that harms their drive. And no, saying play space instead of space (especially when your title just says 20 gb left) does not count as explicitly mentioning it. You never mention having room to spare or even knowing the difference.

It’s clear now that you probably do, so all you needed to do was say “don’t worry I know” or even just ignore the advice entirely. I don’t know why you’re being annoyed by people for not having the info you failed to provide them.

Are we talking about the original Life is Strange? The thumbnail shows the newest game, Reunion, but I’ll assume that’s their website being dumb and we’re talking about the original. I absolutely loved it when I played it years ago, and I loved the way it made me feel powerless when my powers suddenly didn’t work. Like with Kate… I didn’t pay attention to or help her the first time I played, and I eventually replayed the game just to change that. If you haven’t played chapter 5 yet, you’re in for a treat.

I want to play through it again and 100% it at some point. Though to be honest, idk if that will ever happen, I suck at finishing new games let alone ones I already know the ending to. Maybe I’ll give the remastered version a shot or something. There’s several other games in the series, and aside from True Colors and Reunion, which I have not played, I enjoyed them all to some extent, though not as much as the original.

I’m sure you meant well, but “have faith in Christ” is not an appropriate thing to say to someone that was assaulted by their priest.

I’ve never seen a car like that before… it looks like a big cat of some kind.

For a few years now, Phasmophobia has been a game my friend and I like to play for a few hours each weekend. But they recently came out with a disappointing and terrible update, and its pushed us to try out some Phasmo “clones”.

The Other Side is the one we’ve had the most fun playing over the past few weeks.

I think survival games are the type of game that are infinitely more fun with a friend or two to play along with. As long as said friends are the cooperative type and not the type that gets upset over having stuff taken from their chest. Being able to split up the grind and show off your accomplishments or frankly terrible builds to friends always makes them a lot more fun to play. They also just tend to be pretty laid back experiences usually despite their genre’s name, so it gives plenty of room to just chat as you do menial tasks like mine or build.

I mean don’t get me wrong, the stories don’t tend to be anything crazy, and they’re basically never the center of the game. Like, you’re not going to find a story on par with The Witcher 3 in an idle game. They’re usually just there to give a justification as to why you’re doing things, and in some games it’s pretty obvious that the gameplay was designed first and the story was more of an afterthought.

I don’t mind that personally, I’ve never been one to seek out games just for their story.

Bit of an irrelevant metric if you’d ask me. Best-selling game of all time run by owner of both Windows and Xbox has bigger numbers than indie title, color me surprised. Considering Minecraft only has 5x as many sales as Terraria, I’d say Terraria is doing pretty well. Average player counts will obviously be comparatively lower because it’s a completely different genre.

And to be clear I’m not arguing that Minecraft is unpopular or that it doesn’t allow for near unlimited creativity. It’s one of my favorite games. I was just naming a couple of other incredibly popular games like you asked.

Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3.

Terraria just had its 15th year anniversary less than a week ago and is more popular than ever. World of Warcraft is still popular as well.

Not everyone’s looking for a story or skill development when they play games. Sometimes you want to just turn your brain off for a bit and enjoy the dopamine. Plenty of clickers and idlers have actual stories regardless. As for RSI, most “clickers” don’t actually have you clicking much past the very early game anyway. It’s almost always automated.

Now to be fair to other survival games, 7 days to die is just a terribly made game imo. They’ve been consistently dumbing it down and straying further from a zombie apocalypse every update. Nowadays zombie dogs look more like wendigos, and for a while they had literal yetis and plague spitting mummies in the game until they got a lot of shit for it and had to retexture them into proper zombies. I’ve got 900 hours in the game and I just can’t touch it anymore, it’s no longer fun.

I mean sure, but aside from having the same goal you aren’t really interacting with them in my experience. They’re basically just people you share points with rather than proper team mates.

I don’t even like deck builders but I gotta disagree with you there. I mean sure, if its a poker game like Balatro I could see it. But how is Slay the Spire gambling? That’s like calling DnD-like games simulated gambling because everything is decided through a dice roll.

That’s a hard question. There’s tons of popular games I personally couldn’t stand but can still see the appeal of, like Baldurs Gate 3. But something I just can’t understand? I guess my best answer would be basically any purely PvP game.

I get something like a hero shooter where there’s cooperation and team play involved. But I’ve never understood how people get more than 15 minutes of fun in games like multiplayer CoD.

Did you even watch the video? Skywind definitely is a major graphical upgrade from the original Morrowind. Is it going to be the most beautiful thing ever made? No, but compared to the original Morrowind or the elden ring mod, it looks fucking amazing.

But Skywind isn’t just a graphical overhaul. They’re completely remaking the game, with new SFX, voice acting, etc. The projects are on such a different scope and scale that they’re hardly even comparable.

That’s pretty cool. But Skywind is on a completely different scale.

I know age restricted videos don’t work if you’re not singed in (and as such don’t work on any alternate frontend like Freetube that I know of), if that’s your problem.

Tbf, the people playing on difficulty 10 are usually rocking meta builds like orbital napalms, thermites, and explosive crossbows. I doubt there’s many people playing the hardest difficulty with the Constitution and Sterilizer and unironically calling it balanced. And then when people see certain weapons under-performing on harder difficulties, they assume it’s a weapon balance issue (especially hating on light pen weapons), but I don’t think it is. At least not in most cases, there’s definitely a couple stinkers. I think it’s more of an issue with the game’s RNG.

Because if you get unlucky, you just won’t be able to use half of your loadout. For example, when diving against the terminids, you can get unlucky and get a hive guard seed or a bile spewer seed, where those are 75% of the enemies you encounter. Which is a problem if you happened to bring a light pen weapon or two, which are basically unable to hurt any of their heavily armored bodies, especially not in mass numbers. Or you could have brought a bolt action rifle against the predator strain and suddenly you’re stuck in a death loop.

The game desperately needs a way to either outright select the seed you want, or at least make specific seeds more common on certain planets or biomes. Because as it is, you’re more or less just encouraged to only use weapons that are generally good against all enemy sub factions, lest you get fucked over by RNG.

Been a while since I’ve been in the community, but Deep Rock Galactic definitely has the nicest community… too nice, in fact. In my experience, they’ve got (or had, again, it’s been a while) a bit of a toxic positivity problem. The community was so over the top with their positivity and friendliness that there was no room to discuss any actual complaints or issues.

That said, it’s definitely a better problem to have than a lot of the games in this thread. The devs are genuinely cool people. I bought both supporter packs and have never regretted it. I just wish they didn’t basically halt development so they could work on side games right as Helldivers 2 was getting popular.
