WoA is pretty great, you should make a point to do all the escalations so as to really get into the meat and potatoes of the game's mechanics. For example, the Paris mission has one escalation where you gotta use a battle axe to kill three targets. The level has three stories, and each target is on one of those stories (ground floor, second floor, third floor). It can be a challenge to figure out how to kill them all without getting detected. The game doesn't outright tell you what to do, you have to use the tools available to make inferences and figure out what will be most efficient. It's almost like a puzzle, and the escalations are rather short, so it's the sort of thing you can pick up and put down at your leisure. They help you build meta knowledge so you can get the Silent Assassin rating on main missions and survive in other game modes like Freelancer. Cool game.

Sweet Home or Paper House in (chinese? idk if its mandarin or not) about a lesbian girl who has neglectful parents, straight best friend crush, pathetic BPD lumpen thief stalker(extremely lesbian) and weird and offputting apathetic and nihilist leaning college dropout and of course a tiny puppy. tw: violence suicide self harm and of course falling from the middle class angst. perfectly encapsulates me. would recommend all routes 8/10

Just started Gothic Remake. For a game that does not graphically look anything spectacular, it runs like shit. Had to crank all the setting down to lowers to get playable FPS. To be fair I am running it on Linux through Lutris, that might contribute, but UE5, so most likely optimalisation is just bad.

It has permadeath option, which I picked because I did play original game, and though it make make for more interesting gaming experience. Also picked the hardest difficulty. The very first enemy, molerat, killed me in two hits. I fucking hate this. If you are not going to bother balancing your game for higher difficulties, then dont put higher difficulties into your game. Lazily tripling the enemy damage and calling it a day does not make the game more challenging, it makes it shit. Higher difficulty should force player to think outside the box, engage with systems on deeper level, figure out new strategies. New player has no tools for this, the game didnt provide them yet, it didnt even set up expectation of how difficult the difficulty is. I want to restart on hard difficulty again, but I am afraid the only way this will be playable is by cheesing the AI, which is an exact opposite of a challenging gameplay.
For example then I played original I trivialised most of the first chapter by learning acrobatics for increased movement speed, utilising that to pull a group of wargs to guards to clear the way towards orc scout, then pull him towards guards, and looting his axe, which was far more powerful than anything I should be able to get my hands on at that point. But if basic enemies kill me in two hits, melee combat is now completely non-viable, so the only option available is just climb on some rock enemy cant get onto, and pelt them with arrows.

Also I would like to add that opening cinematic is so much shittier in remake.

You can switch the proton/wine layer with protonup-qt or whatever and try with one of the glorious eggroll branches and see how that works. Probably the difference will be minimal, on demand shader compilation in UE5 is so incredibly shit and makes everything stutter

it comes with a game license to download the game you entitled gamer chud. pay up or we'll hire some hooligans to come to your door if you keep complaining.

They should've included a Lucia pocket pussy. Lucia's her name right?

>>48176 it actually doesn't, believe it or not!!!
>>48177 man, if it had a Jason dildo and a Lucia pocket pussy then I'd consider it

>>48175
shan't be buying, sir. I shan't. porky might like it though, it gives him something to burn 400 dollars on that isn't socialism. porky would rather buy baubles like this than give you universal healthcare.

Yes nerdy hobbyists will spend hours making video games in their free time, but will they go tile roofs or work in a slaughterhouse for fun?

>>48137
>work in a slaughterhouse
dont wanna come across as vEgAn but lowkey no one should be doing that

uh oh

>>48137
I'd do some roofing for fun ngl.

>>48137
>work in a slaughterhouse for fun
Condition incels into seeing livestock as women and the slaughterhouses will never run out of volunteers!

>>48158
Nah, they do display fear in books and games.

No gameplay vids? It's a worse version of the StarCaft Ghost trailer but people will drool because graphics.

>>48160
Its actually good cinematic trailer. Blizzard used to have reputation for those, I guess people are pleasantly suprised they managed to make something nice after over a decade of garbage that looks straight out of Korean MMO.

>>48160
I learned long ago not to trust blizzard with anything that isn't out yet

>>48161
Blizzard is a sick social experiment in a studio trying to stay alive on their trailer game alone

I think chaos really sucks and I don't like the "oh, that thing you were doing? It was a chaos plan all along" thing that keeps fucking happening. Like, I was excited in SM2 to be fighting the tyranids, and was really disappointed that they were just a splinter fleet/opening act for chaos shit heads AGAIN.

Sorry if you love CSM, but imo they're losers, and after 10,000 years of being losers I think it's stupid and shitty that they're treated like a real threat, and I'm sick of seeing them.

>>48149
Just for the record, I dont want them to be antagonists, I want to play as them.

>>48146
Don't worry, judging by previous entries in the series Total Warhammer40k is going to drip feed every other faction into the game as DLC.

Dawn of War 4 on the other hand is much more shaky on whether it will eventually have all the factions. It's being made by the devs of Iron Harvest and if you don't know anything about Iron Harvest basically it was a kickstarter RTS that was extremely disappointing and quickly abandoned after like 2 DLCs so I'm not expecting much from those devs. I expect DOW4 to get 1 year of post-launch support before development stops and I would strongly encourage all fans to stay away from Dawn of War 4 based solely off the track record of the dev team since it's not the same team that did DOW 1 and 2.

The Total Warhammer guys on the other hand love milking players with DLC so it's pretty much guaranteed that Chaos, Tau, Tyranids, and everyone else is eventually coming to TW40k the only question is in what order and how long it will take before all the DLC has been added.

>iron harvest
Oh yeah, the reactionary anti communist game

>>48153
Was Iron Harvest that bad, I heard good things about its campaign. Thats my main hope for DoW4, I dont care for skirmish or multiplayer, I just want an interesting campaign for Chaos.

oh shit it's first person! The vibes are indeed viby. many graphics too

Idk, I play Albion Online, which is pay2win but in a way that only meaningfully affects guild competition, so as a solo player I dont concern myself with it.

Based. Best pvp mmo.

>>48117
Carried by its atmosphere imho. The WoW-style gameplay feels very outdated. Do I really need entire hotbar filled with abilities that boil down to "deal X damage"?

I miss wonderking. The reboot is just a soulless cash grab which breaks my heart. Finally back after so long and its… That
Hell I also loved lost saga.

i want to play la tale s1 again

No ogres makes me sad

>>48109
They've got Kul Tiran humans in Retail which are pretty close to ogres tbh

>>48060
I've always wanted to get into an mmo, so I'm somewhat excited to try it. The blue elves are cute, but I'm not paying $30 plus subscription just to play one.

>>48136
Play Guild Wars instead. All the fun of MMOs. None of the goyslop subscription tiers.

>>48136
WoW Forever is actually free with a subscription when it comes out. You just won't be able to play the bluesky elves
