I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot.
It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.
As somebody who could never get into Dark Souls and Elden Ring and the like, Lies of P was great. The game is linear which some people may dislike but for me it was what I needed to remain focused. First game in a long time that I’ve seen to the end and loved every minute of it.
People say it plays like Bloodborne but I’ve never played that so I can’t say. Other than that the difficulty is so-so. Some bosses I could do on my first or second attempt, but there’s two that come to mind which took many…
There’s also some dlc coming out later this year, with a sequel also in the works. Good time to try it out I’d say.
Unfortunately it was due to being “friends only.” Player fleet I guess? I just couldn’t figure out how to filter them out before I got there and kept coming across them.
That range one caught me out once but I figured that one out since it tells you to come closer. I’m going to take that tutorial suggestion though. Cheers!
I keep trying to get into Elite but it never clicks for me. I was flying around earlier trying to dock into a station but everyone was refusing me so I closed the game. I’ll probably look up a new players guide before giving it another attempt later.
Cancelled mine too. Don’t particularly care about the AI. But I don’t need it and trying to justify increasing the price for it didn’t really work on me.
I’ve also gone all-in on Linux now. While I have a Mac, my gaming PC was left on Windows. Now it’s running Linux Mint and while gaming on Linux has a bit further to go, it’s night and day compared to 10 years ago. This time I feel like I can actually stick with it.
it’s been region-locked in countries that don’t have access to PSN, such as Egypt, the Philippines, and North Korea.
I get the other countries but North Korea?! I’ll be surprised if they even have access to Steam!
I have these same issues with mine. Checking the logs shows the requests are coming through but nothing updates, which is annoying. I’m at my wits’ end!
After experiencing several other bugs I’m thinking of calling it quits and giving it time to mature a bit.
Remember when they tried that last time?
Look, I actually liked the Vita but only after I got one second hand after putting it off for years. The overpriced memory cards didn’t exactly advertise the device well.
“An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.”
200 hours in for me and I just learned you can put gates over train tracks. 🤯 Found out by reading the in game manual that I was too proud to read beforehand. So uhm… read the manual.
I went through similar thoughts on whether or not to pick up a Quest 3 and after having one for 8 months I’ve not regretted it. The Quest 3 is a great all-rounder if you’re looking for something accessible but also capable of PCVR.
The one thing I will say is accessories are often overlooked. You’ll want to replace the headstrap with a better one. A battery pack if you want longer sessions. Wear glasses? Prescription lenses. A Wi-Fi 6/e router or better if you want to wirelessly tether to a PC for PCVR (plus the costs that come with a gaming computer).
While accessories may appear optional. If you’re spending a load of cash on the headset, then sticking with a subpar experience seems silly. So research what you intend to use it for ahead of time and budget for what you feel is necessary.
Just returned from a 3 week one so I doubt I’d get another one for a bit haha.
Gutted this is releasing on a Monday. It’ll be a long work day…
Reminds me that I still need to play the first one. Tried it in VR and it was a bit iffy but now that I’m aware of a mod that makes it better I need to give it another try.
CachyOS! I was on Mint before this and had a bunch of issues running games. I think this was in part from going from NVIDIA to AMD (9070 XT).
Decided I had enough and instead of doing a simple Mint reinstall, I gave Cachy a go. I’ve had a little issue here and there but the experience has been beautifully smooth compared to Mint. It’s now set up better than I had it before and I’m over the moon with it haha.
