By the way it's a sequel but the first one is not that balanced. But don't worry the game was designed around most people NOT playing the first one (it's set hundred of years in the past)

League music has some bangers
I mean it's just Imagine Dragons and K-Pop
As well as a not too bad metal album
tame veldt
imagine dragons is league music?
polar dragon
League music isn't just some compilation of dubsteps and "gaming" music
it's collaboration with various bands
Warriors by Imagine Dragons is one such collab
tame veldt
really
polar dragon
Yup
it's the official theme song for competitive tournament in 2014
recently it's quite kpop heavy

I mean what the streamers listen to on stream is different from this playlist lmao
I highly doubt them "hardcore gamers" listen to kpop for their "intense" sessions.
this is literally just a playlist of League (Riot Games, really) and various artists collab.
stable kindle
whoooooo careeeesssss what music you listen to when you play video games, just put on some stuff you enjoy, don't worry so much about what music other people have going when they stream
anyway the spotify ai thing called me out for listening to too much league music bc they are indeed bangers, warsongs was a good album. I don't really like playing music over games unless it's smth i can play a bit more passively like a card game or whatever tho cause like. a vidya takes most of my available attention span and music makes it harder for me to focus </3
dire condor
Generally speaking I prefer in-game music, it tends to gel much better with the action because it's intended to, you know?
Like, I could put on something super heavy for the final boss in Hades, but the current track not only already shreds, but it was designed from the ground-up to go with the fight.
stable kindle
hades is very much not a passive game for me lol something i actively have to devote more focus to im unlikely to play music over. i can't even type while i have music going in the background because it destroys my train of thought. that's why i only play music over something lighter that i can shift attention away from more easily rofl

dire condor
Meanwhile, in Mass Effect 3 MP or a game like League, I absolutely have my own playlist because either the music is waaay too sparse and it leaves gaps that feel weird or the music just isn't very good in the first place.
dire warren
tbh it fully depends on the game for me
like, if i'm playing a rougelite then i like audio cues and usually the soundtracks slap anyways
if i'm om pmd (or other turn-based games) then there's nothing to stop me listening to something else but there's a 60% chance the theme slaps
if i'm deviant farming on mhgu then i will not listen to it as the deviant theme is bad for a number of reasons. i'll take these hellblades silent, thank you very much
polar dragon
yeah honestly this.
Isaac, Hades, Risk of Rain, Darkest Dungeons all knocked it out of the park in term of soundtracks.
mortal siren
i play those with podcast running on background but that just me
vivid mesa
if I'm playing to progress the story, then obv I focus on the in-game audio all the way.
If I'm just grinding out side quests or beating up jobbers, I'll listen to a podcast
hybrid jetty
i only ever play music over games whose soundtracks aren't really memorable or add to the experience (and sometimes ror2)

lol I'm late to the 'do you mute music in games you play or not' but I do it almost never
One time I really disliked an RPG battle song but it was the one that played the most so I replaced it in the game files instead of muting
... but in that game I also muted a certain boss theme not because I disliked it but because I was nostalgic for the old one lmao
polar dragon
I mute Pokemon (and now Nexomon) music during my playthrough because it can get repetitive
terse hornet
I think that's a special occasion though cause that battle theme pissed me off really bad for some reason
polar dragon
I feel like a lot of JRPGs with some grind elements can be muted
terse hornet
Otherwise I only mute things when I'm actually tired/overloaded and I want to play but all sounds irritate
polar dragon
Non-voice acted Fire Emblem games also fall into this catergory
terse hornet
(but then again I've been muting Ys VIII an alarming amount lately. At least it doesn't affect the voiceover)
terse hornet
I feel like a lot of JRPGs with some grind elements can be muted
that's true but 90% of the ones I play have a neat battle theme that I don't want to mute
I like that weird feeling when you listen to it outside of the game and you're like 'ah it's that one I had to hear for at least like ten hours and it's still good'
terse hornet
not for me
(usually) but to each their own
Like if I heard Chrono Trigger battle music right now I would jam
dire condor
I don't think I ever once muted FFX.
And I've definitely played that more than 1000 hours.
Even now, if I were to get it on Steam (I've still got a copy on PS3), I don't think I'd mute the music in-game.
terse hornet
wow you didn't want to mute Tidus
(sorry that's literally all I know about the game. That and the island music is amazing)
dire condor
I know the laughing scene is a meme, but contextually and in its entirety it's one of the most moving scenes in the entire game.
terse hornet
wow I'll believe you
Cause I know it's a meme but i am genuinely a little interested in the game
dire condor
It's one of my very favorites.
Only by the pure magic of the last 5 years of indies has it been pushed out of my top 5.
It's a masterpiece from top to bottom.
Incredible gameplay, story, graphics, music.

Also I did not want to bring this up but like I played the game https://youtu.be/c_WfQ_JsDq8 is from for 103h and I modded the game I previously mentioned with it and that took me 180h

I listen to stuff all the time when playing. But mostly these videos. You know the ones, where they go about one game for 2-3 hours for analysis and I play some other game and think to myself "Hm yeah that is interesting point."

My friend is a huge fan of AoE, should show this to her

RTS as a genre been in a mud for a while. There have been a few released recently there and there, but they were or not that great in balancing or not popular enough for the genre to start going off.
So yeah seeing a big release RTS in 2021 is something
polar dragon
Yeah
Though in my mind, I think RTS has evolved to what is now MOBA.
Which is not too far from the truth.
RTS in general - Warcraft 3 custom maps - DotA - League of Legends / DotA 2
mortal siren
i think its pretty different in nature as in moba is more akin to a multilayer diablo rather than rts
junior crown
Yeah that's fair. Moba has the the RTS sort of structure? But everything is basically more automated and most control goes into 5 for each team buff units.
And not far off too!
Resource management? Yeah
Small units to waste into defenses? Yeah
Defenses and towers that need a good attack to take down? Yeah
Main goal is basically take down the base? Of course.
polar dragon
I'm alluding more to the "origin" of MOBA as a Warcraft 3 custom map
Many of the RPG elements like items, heores, etc. are closer to Diablo than pure RTS, but even in that sense I think that's a Warcraft 3 thing rather yhan Diablo thing.
It's just that the isometric view is so ubiquitous with Diablo that every isometric games give a Diablo vibe.
Hell some people called Hades a Diablo clone.
junior crown
I am thinking of maybe one day getting back into Moba tbh. I was playing HOTS a lot with my friend, but now that their trace is gone from the Internet I don't feel like playing HOTS purely because I can't think of playing it by myself lol.

When VR gets big enough we might never see a "pure" FPS again.
That's my prediction.
Game genres are fluid and changing.
twin yarrow
something tells me that most of the RTS things evolved into other kinds of strategies
most of the things made by Paradox Int, for example
polar dragon
But anyhow, it's good to see some RTS games being made, even though I'm more and more into turn based nowadays
twin yarrow
and in general "build your own town" things
junior crown
I doubt that. At least doubt the change of FPS "purity" for a while due to simple how VR will have to go for a while before becoming a common product.

We have the Total War series, Stellaris and other grand strategy games that got pretty popular and active.
Also MOBAs are kinda RTS-lite and undoubtedly dominate the eSport scene right now.
But yeah, the base building, resource collecting, troop raising purist RTS like AoE and SC has passed its golden age and a Renaissance is unlikely.
wraith cradle
Yeah, Short term RTS are mostly dead as a genre
4X and Grand Strategy has much more wide appeal
tame veldt
i honestly think sc3 would fly off shelves. we haven't had a super main stream rts that has been good in a while. i know blizzard makes good games looks away from warcraft reforged therefore i trust them to give me a good rts even after what 7 years.
polar dragon
i honestly think sc3 would fly off shelves.
I don't see it tbh.
- SC must be an eSport. Explaining why it must be an eSport is long but anyone who play SC and follow the scene know this.
- SC is not exactly approachable in term of newcomers. This is the opposite of starting an eSport scene.
- Making SC3 would mean killing off one of or both of SC: BW and SC2. Yes, the scene is not as big as it used to be, but making a new game would split a dwindling community even further.
TLDR: SC will live on and the dedicated fans would keep playing it for a long time to come. But I don't think it can grow and SC3 isn't the answer.

listen im well aware of moba's roots as a w3 custom map but i have been been playing rts since the original warcraft, i do not consider moba rts-lite lol. i mean i suppose if you played a lot of competitive rts against other people the comparison makes more sense, but the core of the genre is those things you labeled as "purist" qualities. those things are what make the rts the real time strategy.
i think a lot of rts folks forget that not everyone that enjoyed rts also enjoyed the competitive aspect and were there for the solo play instead

what I really don't like about RTSes is that they MUST be competitive esport, thus all the gameplay comes to overclicking your rival

I used to play SC campaign with low speed, just so I could watch how things are happening

love starcraft campaign, and warcraft 3 campaign. never bothered with multiplayer
polar dragon
yeah, but the expectation is there. w3 and sc without esport are not w3 and sc, unfortunately. it's one of the things that happened to be and will have to stay that way.
it's sort of like HL3 meme you know
Valve can't really release HL3 because the associated expectation is so different.
at least that's how I see it
twin yarrow
that's why i doubt SC3 is needed
but, some kind of other slow RTS, not esport-oriented, would be welcomed, i think
also SC story is kinda complete.. but some spinoffs or prequels wouldn't be bad.. maybe of other genres

Whoa, Curse of the Dead Gods added an Assist mode in their latest update
polar dragon
Tell me the good stuff
Typical Indie stuff with seemingly solid gameplay, pixel/minimalist art style. Some games seem a bit underwhelming to me, however. A couples that actually stood out:
- Road 96: driver sim, story telling game
- Getsu Fuman Den: action side scrolling
- There Is No Game: kinda like a meta mini game collection, kinda like Wario Ware Inc
- TNMT Shredder's Revenge: arcade beat em up.
- Skul: which was already release but is now coming to Switch
Honorable mention to Cris Tale, I like the artstyle but the combat seems gimmicky ngl.
But you didn't miss much tbh. Unlikely I would actually buy any of those games.

@ocean cypress hi please dont evade the filter (eg censoring a swear), for future reference

it's most definitely a rogue-lite, but that's getting into semantics about definitions
and rogue-like/lite being a pretty awful genre name tbh (similar to the genre of doom clone before it got renamed to fps)
but we don't really have anything decent to rename the genre too that describes what the genre is well

Is Witcher 3 a game where new players will need a guide? If I accidentally played the game poorly, will I need to backtrack a lot? Should I consult a guide or walkthrough just so progression is much more linear than backtracking to fix a mistake?
And are there missable stuffs?
polar dragon
Is Witcher 3 a game where new players will need a guide? If I accidentally playe...
You don't need a guide. The game is open world so some backtracking exists, but it is not the emphasis (unlike say Metroidvania games).
As for playing the game poorly, it's hard to define poorly. The combat is moderate, not too hard, not too easy so you can play "poorly" and die but you can respawn. The role-playing, on the other hand, your choices have consequences. The game has different branching paths that you can go on. Being a murder hobo will generally get you a murder hobo ending (who would have thunk). Being a good person generally get you a better ending, etc. etc.
So in that aspect don't consult a guide, it takes away the choice element because there are some hard choices in the game.
Some side quests are missable, though if you really want to see everything you will have to play it through a second time, and for different endings too if you want that stuff.
Mu recommendation is definitely go in blind for the first run, then do a New Game + run with a guide on how to play every side quests and choices if you so desire, or do it blind again.
floral warren
Side quests in witcher 3 is just 
the characters' questlines is so amazing

I love CDPR's way of splitting quests into main and side quests
giving the side quests emphasis
Unlike someone 
I just hope that they fix cp77 as much as they could
the sidequests (especially characters' questlines) are one of my favorite moments in the game
polar dragon
W3 is a bad starting game if you want an open world experience
Everything after that just seems so pale in comparison
floral warren
IMO it feels slower in pacing
While yes , it takes more hours to complete than '77, it feels slow and sometimes people may leave it behind for a bit
hence why CDPR mentioned that the story may be lower interms of hours
polar dragon
It could be side quest fatigue
floral warren
Could be it
polar dragon
Playing the game and completing every sidequests is exhausting
floral warren
but I just feel that '77 in itself is faster in pacing and has a more lively world (no proxyword)
polar dragon
But if you pick and choose what's interesting to you, like really role playing, it's much better
For example, don't go collect all the gwen cards before finding ||Ciri|| lol

I've maintained the opinion that 77 will eventually be good.

polar dragon
Wouldn't red be more hacking?
sleek quiver
Thanks! I’ll probably go in blind then. What I don’t like about RPG games is how some stuffs are missable and you had to play the whole game multiple times to “experience” everything, hence why I’m considering a guide
Depending on what you don’t get at the first playthrough, it can get annoying at times, especially when I don’t think I can cram in more than 80-100h on this game
polar dragon
Yeah I get you from a completionist standpoint. I used to have the same problem, debated whether or not I should look up a guide so I don't miss any sidequests. I eventually did that on my third playthrough. But the ones I missed wasn't worth it. It's one of the games that you just have to accept that you won't see everything unless you specifically look for it.
sleek quiver
Aight, 3h into the Witcher 3 and I already got 5 side quests waiting to be completed

So one of my friends told me I should play dark souls after u beat 40 heat in hades
Is dark souls good
Like is it hard in a good way or just not fun in its challenge
My friend did say that if I get stuck in dark souls it’s unlikely due to mechanical execution which is my main barrier in fighting games and stuff
forest stirrup
dark souls is good and fun
for the most part the challenge is very fair; there are a couple stinker moments throughout the series
but they're rather few compared to the good stuff
lethal drift
More like overrated
lethal drift
dire condor
I played 1 and didnt like it that much
most of the difficulty comes from how punishing it is when you fail-dying can send you all the way back
the game often intentionally booby traps you so its kindof sysiphus quest
that being said beating bosses can be rly cool and satisfying
twin yarrow
Dark souls is one of that game, which are as difficult as you want them to be
you can always grind and level yourself up to the point enemies will die just by coming closer than nessesary
even though the so-called admirers of the series are not reccomend playing that way and leave a fair challenge for yourself
but it's a possibility
while some people who excelled at the game find it interesting to make a walkthrough without leveling up with bare hands/wooden club and in a piece of cloth for an armor
that's a third way, another extreme
graceful galleon
or finish the game with a Dance Pad
graceful galleon
for me, Dark Souls is of the best series I ever played (including Bloodborne, and Sekiro to some extent), every challenge feel doable and overcoming those challenges are really satisfying. Everytime you die its MOSTLY because of your own fault (mostly, because ngl there a few BS moments especially in DS 1)
and DS 2, those hitboxes are bs
