I haven't played vidya in ages but found a windows HDD I had and got steam again, I've always been into corridor shooters and it turns out current boomer shooters are actually awesome.

Project warlock was like $3 Canadian dollars and it's actually really good. It's like doom with a bunch of QOL adjustments. I hate to say it but the roguelite elements work really well, and the character optimizations are neat. The level design fixes every detriment found in OG boomer shooters, with very little backtracking.

It's like they kept every good element of older shooters and improved on the rest.

8/10 would reccomend

My only gripe is that it's pretty clearly designed with speedeunners in mind

It's really neat looking full res

But my gfx card isn't in yet so im running it like this

Dave the Diver GDGOTY 2023 (Greatest Dissapointing Game of The Year)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868140/DAVE_THE_DIVER

Verdict:

Sucks (Like really. No cap.)

Reason(s):

Too much water.

(Also, not an indie game.)

Repetitive.

Slow.

Dumb.

Boring.

Price:

Too much price. (20 USD, serious? This is a 10 dollar game at best.)

Brief:

Starfield is big boring. Too much space, but better than a side scrolling game. As things are turning out and the year is ending, Dave the Diver is quite literally one of the worst games of the year. While Starfield was being lauded prior to its release, people were calling it Skyrim in Space (That was a lie.)

So, Dave the Diver's description via stream is as follows:

DAVE THE DIVER is a casual, singleplayer adventure RPG featuring deep-sea exploration and fishing during the day and sushi restaurant management at night. Join Dave and his quirky friends as they seek to uncover the secrets of the mysterious Blue Hole.

The first pause should be the “casual”, portion of that description. Dave is obviously a diver. He catches fish and runs a sushi restaurant at night. Dave is also obviously a roly-poly. I do hope they considered the amount of oxygen usage by dave considering he's def not in any form of shape aside from a circle.

The second part--quirky? IDK, but that sounds boring. Who can truly define what is normal? And, lastly: TF is this blue hole?

The blue hole is where the fishing and quests take place. There's boss fights, because of course there is.

Jelly fish boss. Okay. There's also a hermit crab boss. That's just two examples.

Okay, so the big things I mentioned is that there's too much water and that it's a side scroller type of game. There's also the price (20 dollars?!) and the almost deceptive indie dev perception.

Platforms

This game is available on multiple platforms which include:

MacOS (The superior Operating Sytem)

Windows (Second Best)

Nintendo Switch(First Best)

SteamOS (Linux in Sheep's clothing. Worse than DOS.)

Not an Indie Studio

The developer of the game is the indie game studio Mintrocket, but the truth is that they're actually a subsidiary of Nexon which was responsible for Maple Story.

I am not of the camp that thinks big studios can't make good games, because obviously that's not true, but we can't ignore the importance that “indie” plays in the minds of consumers and thus influences their purchase decisions in the “game space.”

Summary:

So, in total we have a game that's 10 dollars at best, has too much water--boring, repetitive gameplay and too short.

The game does have a relaxing atmosphere and for many people they may enjoy the experience, but you shouldn't.

Rating:

Do Octupi Shit in the Woods?

4/10

Friends are recommending it and described it as Deep Rock Galactic mixed with Dead Space.

This is a fricking turn based fighting game where you play as stickfigures with various moves and try to beat your opponent. You need to balance your attack frames, position, attacks and everything in order to kill the fricking enemy. After the fricking fight it then compiles everything into a fricking little video where you see the fricking fight at normal speed.

It also allows for custom characters if both players want them but the fricking four (technically five) base game characters are fricking already fun enough and pretty good.

here's a fricking trailer:

everything can be tunes in lobby settings so player turns can be reduced from the fricking base 30 seconds to turning off predictions so players have to use more skill to allowing more leniency in parry's so shit looks cooler. It's pretty frickin cool and it can all be tuned

I'm looking for a very specific style of game I've been fantasizing about. It's in the dad game, autism simulator genre if I had to guess.

But I'm looking for basically a logistics simulator for a war. Like I want to be laying out railroads, planning production lines, and trying to get the resources to where they are needed at the front. I don't care at all about the planning of actual military operations, political stuff etc. I just want to run logistics, infrastructure, repair damage etc.

Ideally it would work sort of like a colony sim on a larger scale but I'm desperate for anything in this genre. Think HoI4 but way less focus on anything but the logistics.

Does anything like this exist?

According to the trailers you can:

Have a horrific corpse filled dungeon

Chop up bodies for food

Chase around naked women

Write scary cryptic shit on their boobs with a knife

Abduct people to torture them

Rip the face off naked women

Stab people in the eyes with your fingers

Injure people and chase them at walking speed as they helplessly shamble away

Stab them in the balls with a knife

Rip out a mans teeth with pliers and possibly many other things while he's strapped to a chair

Kill them in a SAW like arena and film it to make money to upgrade your torture dungeon

Finally, a game for me

This doesn't look complicated but if it is dogshit like those Strategic Command series or Paradox 4X games, i have to take a hard pass on that.

!besties someone please ping the g*mer ping group

Recently been playing the witcher series after getting it from steam sale and I have to say it is the biggest piece of dogshit.

Witcher1

The combat in this game is shockingly basic. It consists of basically just timing mouseclicks and maybe rolling once in a while. Somehow both options are 100% jank and never feel right.

The protagonist is entirely bland. He has nothing interesting to say and I'm almost thankful for that because the voice actor conveys 0 emotion in his monotone blabbering. The writing is also garbage. Early in the game you prepare a potion for an injured companion. When you give her the potion you have a dialog during which she is bedridden in the fetal position and if you pick the right options you frick her directly after. I've played porn games that lock s*x behind more gameplay. At least this was memorable, everything else was cliché and forgettable.

I can't comment on the story because after a "light 5 bonfires like this is some third rate mmo" quest I figured out I had better things to do.

Witcher 2

Belive it or not I was actually excited going into this game. Because the previous game was held back by some amateurish qualities I assumed that this one would have fixed the previous weaknesses and come out much better.

Boy was I wrong.

The combat in this game is seriously the worst I have ever seen. I don't know how CDProjectRed managed to make it worse than the one button rhythm game the previous was. The core weakness is the lack of control. Picture this you are facing a group and want to quickly take out one low health enemy, so you run up and light attack only to jump in the air and do a triple spin leaving yourself open to attack. That's because there is no standard light attack, the game sees your input, throws it out and does whatever the frick it wants to do. And if you were wondering, yes the attack is randomly decided (at least according to a modder).

This system is actually kinda similar to the Assassins' Creed combat system, but with a few key differences. First of all the killing moves in Assasisns' Creed are actually cool and violent and not fruity spinny moves, and secondly AC tends to stop enemies from attacking you while you are locked in these animations in a Hollywood goons waiting their turn kind of way. Anyway the rest of this game is also shit but I don't have anything interesting to say about it.

Witcher 3: did not play

In conclusion it is crazy to me that this is the company the duped people into thinking cyberpunk was going to be a good game on release. Anyways back to forgetting about single player games and play another 1000 hours of warthunder (which is great by the way, don't let some NATOtard tell you otherwise. referral link: https://warthunder.com/en/registration ?r=userinvite_150773279).

"why do so many modern games suck"

First, the context about what we were marketing: the game is called I See Red, it's a twin-stick shooter roguelite about a man in search of vengeance, with a noir aesthetic, tied into the actual gameplay and also the narrative, meaning the graphics style is not just a "it fits/looks cool" but is also both a game mechanic and is part of the plot as to why the game looks the way it does. This is the USP of the game.

$200k on a "twin-stick shooter roguelite with a noir aesthetic" i'm fricking dying

KotakuInAction reacts.

Couldn't stand the sluggish "cinematic" character movement. Looked like a great game besides that though.

That Doom remake is $4, it looks kinda cool

Don't overthink it, it was just one of those sweet moments where she knew I wanted to order it, didn't have a Steam account to order one herself, so she wanted to do something special on Xmas Day.

EDIT: I should probably just comment here as I am getting way too many rude messages on Xmas day that is just making me lose faith in people on reddit. Yes I get it, I've seen enough "who needs permission just buy it yourself hurr hurr" combined with rude remarks.

She knew that I was looking at getting one around XMAS anyways, she asked me to wait until XMAS day as she wanted to chip in a few Steam gift cards as a gift, as I didn't ask for much else. She doesn't own a Steam account to order anything herself, and had a lot of difficulty finding physical Steam gift cards before Xmas, so she decided to make a fun gift out of a wrapped present.

I still can't believe the # of rude messages I am getting, so I appreciate everyone who laughed at the joke and moved on. The rest of you need some happiness in your life, Jesus.

Merry Christmas rDrama! Our savior is born, let us rejoice! I got a PS5 and a new recliner to play it in, so what games should I be playing, AND, will you play Borderlands 3 with me???????????
