I remember 100% completing Lego 2K Drive. At least the base game before any of the seasonal content came out. They did something I wish a lot more games with a seasonal battle pass and content format would do. You can go back to any and all seasons and get the content for them at your own pace at any time from what I remember. That game is only the second game I've seen actually do that after the Halo Master Chief Collection. I don't think companies realize how good for all of them that would be for keeping players around, and making more money in case players wanna pay for past battle passes and the content later on after they've completed other ones. It would be really causal friendly

little badger
#

Battle passes can be good and bad the good is that some of the cosmetics are cool but the bad can also mean some P2W items

harsh kestrel
#

Even still. I do still think that if more games did give people the option to go back to old battle passes and old seasonal missions and whatnot and complete them down the road and complete them at their own pace, there would be a higher chance that more casual players would stick around, and they would keep the passionate base happy with stuff to keep going back to that they even may not have gotten before that they still have a chance to get

minor plover
#

I pretty much automatically reject any game that has a meaningful in-game collection that you can't 100% by just playing. Like if there are items you can only get by spending additional money (beyond just "yes I bought the game and the DLC pack") or you had to have played at a specific time or you have to cross-link other games, and that part of the game is meaningful in any way, I'm out.

harsh kestrel
#

At least if they gave you the opportunity to go back to older content and get it later on after you either didn't get any of it in time when it was the newest stuff or were busy with life and couldn't be on or something, all hope isn't lost

little badger
#

I don’t mind games having micro transactions but when they start getting into the P2W territory it can be make or break for the game.

gaunt marten
#

I really mind it.

#

Either sell me one complete package or fuck off. Don't give me small purchases for the rest of my life

green fulcrum
#

Especially small purchases that, when added up, equal 5 to 100 times the price of the base game.

#

(Looking at you, Mortal Kombat and Sims...)

#

Seriously...f*ck this shit:

little badger
#

If they are cheap fair enough but it they go into the £50 and above for items then it’s a no

#

GT how much is it for every piece of Sims items if it tells you

astral steeple
#

microtransactions are only good in games if the game itself is free to play, and if they arent required to progress and dont give an advantage

#

like fully cosmetic only

gaunt marten
#

No they're bad, period

#

Just sell me the cosmetics in one package

astral steeple
#

some games have thousands of comsetics tho

gaunt marten
#

Sell them all

astral steeple
#

how would that work

gaunt marten
#

I want one button that gives me every purchase

astral steeple
#

that'd be like thousands of dollars if it was done that way anyways

So either way you're still paying a massive amount of money for every item

gaunt marten
#

The amount of money doesn't matter. The constant emotional manipulation is what matters

astral steeple
#

having it just be separate purchases is fine

some people may want some cosmetics but not want other ones

gaunt marten
#

You can have a lot of cosmetics if you like, as long as you don't tell me they're available

astral steeple
#

??????????

minor plover
#

there's a lot of psychology not just in the marketing, but also in the way MTX-centric companies teach their fans to argue in favor of their practices

gaunt marten
#

I don't play games to be advertised to

astral steeple
#

having cosmetics in games isnt you "being advertised to"

gaunt marten
#

Yes it is

unreal idol
#

Yes it is

astral steeple
#

its really not though

gaunt marten
#

It really is

unreal idol
#

"Oh damn that's a cool outfit how do I get it"
And you find out its $5.99

minor plover
#

fundamentally, games that have $$$$ worth of in-app microtransactions exist for the purpose of trying to get either extremely wealthy people who won't miss the money, or people with addictive personalities, to spend $$$$ trying to keep up. That's the only reason that kind of ecosystem exists.

astral steeple
#

yes its an optional purchase

#

not required

unreal idol
#

I'm not talking about that

#

I'm talking about the advertising part

astral steeple
#

thats what this convo is about tho

unreal idol
#

But if you want to talk about that we can

green fulcrum
#

It's still being advertised, even if it's optional.

#

Like, McDonalds is optional. But it's still advertised.

unreal idol
#

You're ignoring the psychological pressure that this behavior hinges on

#

Optional, yes, but it fosters an unhealthy FOMO environment which may pressure players to spend when they would really rather not

minor plover
#

there are games that have genuine DLC packages that are like, hey, $12.99 to buy a whole new complete campaign with additional gear and additional enemies. Those exist because those companies want to sell lots of users a $12.99 DLC package. But when they have a huge bucket of MTX that adds up to obscene amounts, that's because they know about the psychology of unhealthy addictive purchases and they're OK exploiting it.

astral steeple
#

when its a free to play game, having the optional microtransactions is the only way to keep the game going continuously for a long time

#

not a big deal at all

gaunt marten
#

I don't care about the game as much as I care about myself

unreal idol
#

I think you are wrong

#

Perhaps the game doesn't need to keep going indefinitely

slim thorn
#

the "micro" part is not required, and is what feeds into all the manipulation being discussed here

#

MMOs with monthly subscription fees existed long before the modern mtx trends

unreal idol
#

Or, the devs can create an experience that only requires a purchase

green fulcrum
#

Personally, I don't mind paying a little extra if it's something like, say, Elden Ring's upcoming DLC campaign, which is basically an entirely new storyline and an entirely new game. That's worth the extra price, imo.

But if it's $10 for a skin that your character wears, that's stupid.

unreal idol
#

The reason they are free to play is specifically so they can advertise and sell crap to the players

astral steeple
#

having it be a optional cosmetic skin only is better than it being required to progress and being pay to win

gaunt marten
#

But it sucks either way

astral steeple
#

the cosmetic way is overall less scummy

slim thorn
#

the fact that it could be worse doesn't make it good

gaunt marten
#

But still scummy

unreal idol
#

Sure but it's still manipulative

rugged flax
slim thorn
#

at this point I think it's time to put on my mod hat and order an end to this conversation

#

it's been clear for a long time that you're not arguing in good faith and nothing we say is going to change that

#

so everyone just drop it

The dbd studio^

unreal idol
#

But overall it's been fun, I like the aesthetic and vibe

gaunt marten
#

Hell yeah

unreal idol
#

My biggest criticism so far is a lack of feedback

little badger
#

Ixrec what was the first subscription for an MMO if you know what it was

unreal idol
#

The game isn't super clear when/what you end up unlocking in terms of recipes, and without the book I'd be totally lost

gaunt marten
#

True!

slim thorn
#

not off the top of my head

green fulcrum
# unreal idol My biggest criticism so far is a lack of feedback

Tbf, it used to be a lot worse. When Minecraft first released, people had to figure out everything without a wiki, without a recipe book, and without hints. It was all word of mouth and endless experimentation.

Luckily over time the wiki grew, people learned, and Mojang began adding more things to help newcomers, such as the recipe book, advancements, and small tutorial toasts (the pop-ups in the top right corner) to help newcomers. It's not perfect, but it's way better than it used to be.

gaunt marten
#

Meridian 59, launched in 1996

slim thorn
#

I know Everquest and Ultima Online were among the early big names

gaunt marten
#

There were probably small MMOs with a subscription, but this is the earliest one known

unreal idol
#

FFXI was another game with a very similar problem (no meaningful in-game feedback) unless you were Japanese

green fulcrum
#

But yeah, the lack of direction and feedback for a new player is the main learning hurdle that newcomers have to get through. I find the recipe book greatly negates most of it, but there's still some of it there on figuring out what each item is for.

But in a way, having the player figure out what each item is for encourages exploration and experimentation. The recipe book shows you how to make it, now you get to see what it does, or if it's just a decorative item.

unreal idol
#

I'm still getting used to the recipe book. As a complete newcomer it's... helpful but not the best

green fulcrum
#

Trust me, there is sooooooo much out there to learn and discover.

#

hugs

#

Don't worry, we'll help you through it. We've all been where you are now. Eventually it'll almost become second nature. :)

unreal idol
#

I do really like the rain effects and sky box though

green fulcrum
#

Oh, that reminds me, I need to get you a lightning rod, so that if a lightning storm does start up you don't accidentally get struck.

#

That can sometimes happen

unreal idol
green fulcrum
#

It's kinda rare, but it does happen and can be a little scary (but also a little funny in a dark sort of way). The lightning rod just makes it so that any lightning in the vicinity of its placement will be directed to that spot, rather than randomly following you around (although it has a limited range, but it is pretty large).

Doom Eternal

gaunt marten
#

I'm playing Crystal Project, Crosscode, Slice and Dice, Ocarina of Time, Monster Sanctuary

devout vault
#

i want ocarina of time on a real n64

#

i just played it on 3ds

gaunt marten
#

I'm playing the randomizer with Bizhawk using Archipelago to put games from other worlds into OoT

little badger
#

I’m playing snowrunner which is a trucking sim game it’s fun until you Tip a trailer with cargo on it rdsnrk

devout vault
#

how... strange..

minor plover

mostly balatro

little badger
devout vault
#

putting other worlds into ocarina of time

#

would there like... be enemies there

gaunt marten
#

I'm only putting items from other games in there

devout vault
#

how do they work?

gaunt marten
#

When I find an item in OoT, it sends a message to the Archipelago.gg server, which then tells the randomizer for the game that item belongs to that they got a new item

#

And that player receives it. They can also find my items

little badger
gaunt marten
#

Right now the multiworld randomizer contains Ocarina of Time, CrossCode, Monster Sanctuary, A Hat in Time, Outer Wilds, Link's Awakening DX, Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Dark Souls 3 and Psychonauts

little badger
#

Ooooh sounds fun.

gaunt marten
#

Yeah, it's supposed to be a month long game that I'm playing with four other people.

little badger
#

Hope it all goes well.

devout vault
#

are they like oot items or

gaunt marten
#

No they're just placeholder items in OoT

#

When I get these placeholder items, the multiworld randomizer server gives the real item to the player that it's supposed to go to

slim thorn
#

(I'm actually working on random spawn for my Outer Wilds randomizer as we speak)

devout vault
#

u get messages?

gaunt marten
#

What?

#

People send me items and I send people items

slim thorn
#

their OoT items are also in the multiworld somewhere, including Flitter's own OoT world

gaunt marten
#

It's a regular randomizer but anyone's items can be in any world

devout vault
#

um im confused how the items function

gaunt marten
#

They function exactly as they would

devout vault
#

are they like twigs/arrows

gaunt marten
#

All items are randomized

#

So Ixrec can find my Megaton Hammer in his A Hat in Time world

devout vault
#

what abt ocarinas? how does the game handle those. when u get the ocarina of time it replaces the sarias one

gaunt marten
#

He'd grab it, and I'd receive the hammer in my OoT

sour hill
devout vault
#

or is that not included

gaunt marten
#

Ocarinas are randomized, yes

devout vault
#

i wonder how the code works for that

gaunt marten
#

The two ocarinas are identical in functionality!

devout vault
#

i just thought it was a boolean thing which appears

#

lol

gaunt marten
#

So it's just cosmetic

random steppe
#

I would assume they'd work like in a normal randomiser except your progressi isn't only in your game but it's scattered in all the games with the people you are playing with

devout vault
#

sorry i was thinkin u were getting items from other games entirely

#

like from... animal crossing idk

gaunt marten
#

Yes I can

devout vault
#

but u cant use them

gaunt marten
#

That's exactly how it works

#

No, I get my items from their world

random steppe
#

Yes, flitter can find an Animal Corssing item, and it would get sent to the person that is playing that game

devout vault
#

huh

#

strange ive never heard abt it before

gaunt marten
#

I can't send a megaton hammer to animal crossing, but animal crossing can send me a megaton hammer

random steppe
#

You can find other world items, but they get sent to the players that are playing that game so they can progress

devout vault
#

i should have

devout vault
#

no?

gaunt marten
#

Terraria is supported!

devout vault
#

makes sense

gaunt marten
#

Calamity support is in progress

devout vault
#

terraria is a game with like a million items

#

ocarina of time never had a lot of items though compared to like link to the past

gaunt marten
#

You don't want to randomize millions of items. You just want to randomize enough to make the game fun

#

Ocarina of Time has uh

devout vault
#

hm

#

so ur saying u get the master sword usable as young link

gaunt marten
#

436 items using my settings

#

Can go up to 800ish

#

No

devout vault
#

what are those items??

gaunt marten
#

Every item you find in chests is randomized

#

That's rupees, heart containers, everything

devout vault
#

yea

gaunt marten
#

Gold skulltula tokens are randomized, boss rewards are randomized,

random steppe
#

Not familiar with OOT but I would assume it's the same items you would be able to randomise in another randomiser

devout vault
#

so key items too

#

?

gaunt marten
#

Songs are turned into items then randomized

devout vault
#

lets hope that doesnt soft lock u

gaunt marten
#

Keys and maps and compasses are randomized, as well as all equipment

devout vault
#

imagine in majoras mask u dont get the song of time

#

its joever

gaunt marten
#

It can softlock you very easily, but every game is guaranteed to be completable eventually

#

Majora's Mask is not supported yet, but they plan to integrate OoTMM randomizer

#

In OoTMM, you're guaranteed to find your ocarina and song of time before playing MM

devout vault
#

sooo is the song of time gonna be a guaranteed drop then

#

cus otherwise ur gonna have a bad time

gaunt marten
#

Everything is a guaranteed drop. You just have to find where it's located

#

The randomizer guarantees a path from game start to completion every time

devout vault
#

majoras mask doesnt let u leave the castle really especially the first 3 days

#

so if it spawns far out ur kind of dead

gaunt marten
#

Yes, but you can find MM items in OoT

devout vault
#

like masks?

gaunt marten
#

Like everything

devout vault
#

soo the master sword too

#

?

#

but young link just cant use it

gaunt marten
devout vault
#

how truly... interesting and unusual

#

lol

reminds me of chaos mods

#

ive notice games usually removing rng item drops

one day before my birthday

#

I hardly have a choice now lol

#

have any of you played Myst

slim thorn
#

I've played Myst, Riven, Myst 3 Exile, Obduction and Quern

river veldt
#

are they good ?

slim thorn
#

very

#

however, they are a special kind of difficult that one can easily bounce off of if you've never played a similar point-and-click puzzler before, so if you're interested I could give recommendations that are a little safer

minor plover
#

they're pretty fun to play with family

river veldt
#

are they similar to King's Quest or Space Quest ? those are the point and click adventure games im familiar with

minor plover
#

I played at least 3 of them with my wife, and both giving input is helpful

slim thorn
#

unfortunately I never played a King's or Space

#

are those like Monkey Island? I did play Curse of

river veldt
#

uhh maybe ?

#

idk i havent played Monkey Island

minor plover
#

there are a lot of visual puzzles in Myst-like games. Like, realize that the colors of these objects show a code and then touch something else in that color order...

river veldt
#

wait Monkey Island was Lucas Games right

#

whatever they're called

slim thorn
#

well if we've got zero overlap then we've got zero overlap so I'll just take a guess

river veldt
#

LucasArts

#

yes

#

ok so ive played Maniac Mansion which is like Monkey Island

#

we got there rdsnrk

slim thorn
#

my impression is that those point-and-clicks, while difficult in their own right and definitely better than no experience at all, are more about finding items in the world, and most of the puzzles boil down to where to use which item

river veldt
#

yes

slim thorn
#

and the Myst-likes definitely have some of that, but it's rarely the emphasis

#

when I say the Myst-likes are a special kind of hard, I'm mostly referring to lack of player guidance

#

it's often unclear what is a puzzle, what is part of a puzzle, which puzzles are supposed to be solvable yet, and whether what you're missing is an item or connecting bits of information you saw in faraway places several hours ago

#

for example, some of my favorite puzzles in these games involve the locals having a fictional numeral system, and nobody wrote down a convenient translation for you; you're just supposed to figure it out from context... eventually

#

and it being possible to figure out the numerals becomes just one step in several complex puzzles later

sour hill
river veldt
#

that sounds fun

slim thorn
#

yeah, if you're up for it it's amazing

river veldt
#

and also extremely complicated and sometimes frustrating rdsnrk

slim thorn
#

I'm still very proud of myself for getting to the end of Obduction without looking up a single hint

#

even that time I had to take a break for an entire day to come up with more ideas on that one puzzle that nearly broke me

sour hill
#

I think like 30% or more of my myst playthrough was spent wandering the initial island completely clueless about what literally anything is for

slim thorn
#

I like how Myst's plot is ridiculously simple but perfect for that game because ||the only characters you ever get to talk to until the end are trying to take advantage of the fact that you are completely clueless||

sour hill
#

Ha, yeah

slim thorn
#

I think I personally enjoyed Exile and Obduction the most, but ultimately there's a lot of personal preference there

#

e.g. Quern I'd rank very highly on puzzle design, but probably the lowest of those five for aesthetics (it's mostly just rocks lol)

green fulcrum
slim thorn
#

now since I mentioned "safer recommendations" earlier

#

if this sounds interesting but intimidating to you, I'd suggest trying The Room series first

#

because it gives you similarly little to no guidance to solve its puzzles

river veldt
#

this sounds like a game i'd either love to death and become completely obsessed with or one where my playthrough will end with tears of frustration

slim thorn
#

but it is far more contained and compartmentalized

#

as the name implies, often the big mystery is all within a single room

river veldt
slim thorn
#

so that makes it much easier to get a grip on the whole thing and figure out if you even like this style of puzzle

#

Fall into a world of bizarre contraptions and alchemical machinery with The Room, a BAFTA award-winning 3D puzzler from Fireproof Games. Follow a trail of cryptic letters and solve many unique devices in ever more extraordinary places, on a time-spanning journey where machinery meets myth.

so it's like a escape room

?

slim thorn
#

before moving up to the Myst-likes which are like one The Room level at 100x the size

bold sonnet
slim thorn
#

some of the series is literal escape rooms, but it varies

#

iirc Room 1 was mostly opening weird puzzle boxes and Room 2 was escaping weird rooms

#

I enjoyed it very much

wasn't there a Silent Hill game called The Room

Room 3 even had a hub area with missable puzzles in between the weird rooms

that was SH4 yes

#

anyway the whole reason im interested in Myst is because according to Alex Hirsch, Gravity Falls was influenced by Myst a lot

slim thorn
#

huh, I can kinda see that

quartz pawn
#

On my next check, I'm going to get Myst on Q3

slim thorn
#

don't go into it expecting the same vibes but I do see a little overlap

green fulcrum
#

I can definitely see the influence on the journal aspect of Gravity Falls, lol

#

Journals are a big thing in Myst, and help develop both the world and the lore within it, as well as the characters.

slim thorn
#

true, the characters in Myst-likes love writing down all the weird stuff you need to know

green fulcrum
#

You'll find them scattered all throughout the worlds you explore, and they're all so very cool.

slim thorn
#

not to mention the Myst series' actual plot is largely about ||magic "linking" books|| (don't click if you want to play them properly, i.e. blind)

green fulcrum
#

I think the journals in Riven and Myst 3 are my favorites, they're all filled with all sorts of numbers, formulae, machinery designs, intricate lore, etc.

IDK why I never got into myst.
I usually like hidden deep lore in games, might be that I just lose interest when I'm not a guy with a big sword and some british guy isn't snarkly pointing out my flaws at the first opportunity the game has.

slim thorn
#

could be, the Myst-like vibe is very much a dead/dying/abandoned world that you stumble into and maybe talk to one or two lingering survivors but mostly wander around on your own

#

(but unlike the Soulslike vibe, there's no endless army of monsters to repeatedly murderize you)

Wait, why are they remastering it? I thought that game wasn't recieved so well, on account of actually being a pretty 1-to-1 portrayal of banjoo kazooie?

That's enough of a reason to remaster it

#

"We know better now, so let's do better"

As a person who wasn't a fan of Banjo Kazooie, I played Yooka Laylee and did not have fun

I am skeptical they can make it better, but I'm not going to complain

harsh kestrel
#

I've never played it despite hearing of it, and the graphical jump from 2017 to now with the remastered graphics, it's night and day. Not to mention I think someone figured out what the new features are like new currency, new game changing mechanics, so it'll be the original, but it'll have some spins and tweaks. That's what remasters should honestly be. The same game as you knew it, but with some twists

bitter stream

Fair enough Flitter.

I don't think there's a one size fits all solution when it comes to remaster.

I know a lot of people like it, but my wishlist for a new Civ game is add more information to the wonder system:
1- Allow players fine grained control over speeding it up and slowing it up.
2- Allow players to automatically know someone else is building the same wonder (no need to tell them who.)
3- Allow players to invest resources into spying on someone to see their wonder progress and the rate they're building it.
4- Allow failed wonders to complete but give a smaller reward instead of a partial refund.

i dunno, i liked the isometic thing but honestly hexes work better

oh and add the globe feature

arctic fern
#

and stacks were silly

devout vault
#

back

#

stacks meant sense

#

the new system is silly!

true maple
#

I too want a globe again

devout vault
#

one unit per tile was not the solution imo

arctic fern
#

why?

devout vault
#

id rather stacks be expanded

#

theres mods that do and make it way more realistic

devout vault
# arctic fern why?

in the civ 4 big mod, stacks are very different.

you now need "Organisation" to keep the stack operational

#

troops within the stack can raise this

#

and ur limited by ur technology

#

its a way to balance stacks of doom

visual hill
#

hexes have a technical reason behind them, they allow for more connections or something with more even distance between each direction

#

it's not just because it looks pretty

devout vault
#

also 1 unit per tile takes forever

#

stacks move immediately in 1 turn

#

makes multiplayer games so much faster

gaunt marten
#

I like how Paradox does it, where nodes are irregularly shaped counties

devout vault
#

moving a large army in 5 and 6 was very painful at times.

gaunt marten
#

And counties can have different connections

devout vault
#

i dont like either how city states got turned into board game stuff idk

#

theyre too important but ig thats what civ is now

arctic fern
# devout vault its a way to balance stacks of doom

ok you really need to explain your points sometimes, because when you said you wanted stacks, this is what i assumed you meant, you wanted stacks of doom
you may very well be right with that idea tho i think the "army" system where you group 3 troops together was a decent, albeit simplified, solution

devout vault
#

i want the stack/army system back cus it was

  1. more realistic
  2. way simpler to manage
  3. faster games, way better for multiplayer
  4. AI could play stronger and make better decisions
  5. could be improved and made deeper with mechanics like "Organisation/Tactics"
#

thas why i like it

#

plus its SO FUN to stroll onto a rival with like hundreds of troops

#

feels so epic and climatic

#

in 5 and 6, its like a few troops..

arctic fern
#

in 5 and 6 its about troop placement, what troops you place in which positions to maintain effective combat situations

#

as opposed to stomping your enemy with 30 dudes on one tile

devout vault
#

Calvary also goes off the main stack

arctic fern
#

significantly less so because of doomstacks
i havent tried your mod to have experience with it

devout vault
devout vault
#

i way prefer it to 5/6 combat

arctic fern
#

they've said in the past that if folks want to play a game like the ones earlier in the series, they can just play games earlier in the series

devout vault
#

the community has done all the work for them

gaunt marten
devout vault
#

civ 6 is a good game but its so horribly milked/overpriced

#

and theres huge balancing issues

#

some civs are basically instant wins in that game

#

i do like the graphics tho i remember that wasnt popular when it came out

#

(in serious multiplayer civs definitely get banned like babylons)

# green fulcrum Isn't he one of the few OG VAs remaining?

Scout - Nathan Vetterlein
Soldier - Rick May
Pyro and Spy - Dennis Bateman
Demoman and Heavy - Gary Schwartz
Engineer - Grant Goodeve
Medic - Robin Atkin Downes
Sniper - John Patrick Lowrie
Announcer - Ellen McLain

They're all still alive, except for Rick May (rest in peace, Soldier), but getting up there in age. I think some of them are in their 70s by now.
