Basically, title
Hey, mod here. Guilty as charged, I honestly haven’t played much in months so it’s been hard to come up with good posts. I do read everyone else’s posts though, but not every day. I’ll try to comment more frequently and check in more often too.
As for the monthly games thread, that’s been the other mod, I’ve been patiently waiting for a new post for a while but haven’t seen one from him. I might take over that duty if the most recent post hits 3 months without update.
If there’s anything you’d like from this sub I’d love to hear it!
I really liked the “Essential Games List” on Reddit, maybe we could do something similar? Or maybe best recently patient games? (games that are 1-2 years old)
Basically, I come here for game recommendations, so I’d really like a rotating rec list. Once/year would be plenty for me, since I just throw them on a wishlist and pick them up when I need games to play.
Never noticed until you asked, but yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen such a thread in ages.
I put Factorio on hold for now, as I’m waiting for the DLC. In the meantime I’m playing Project Zomboid with a few friends.
Mind selling me on the dlc? Never played factorio but I am susceptible to automation games. Currently on minecraft create mod and shapez.
Automation games and never played Factorio???
Screw the DLC (for now), you need to get started with Factorio ASAP. I started with Factorio in 2017 after I mentioned to a coworker that I liked Minecraft with mods that allowed for automation such as Industrialcraft, Buildcraft, and Immersive Engineering. I have played some Create, but when I did I found that it wasn’t mature enough as a mod.The DLC is mostly aimed towards end-game stuff. Whereas the base game is completed once your factory has launched a rocket with a satellite on board, the DLC picks up from there, allowing you to build automated space platforms, visit other planets each with their distinct differences.
Jumping on this to second it and also be shamelessly elitist. Factorio is the automation game. Nothing tops it. You may think other games look more beautiful, exciting, or engaging, but they are not. Factorio is also one of the cheaper automation games out there with one of the best developers in the industry. Definitely give it a go!
Shouldn’t we just keep waiting patiently?
This is a trial of our faith. Our patience will truly be tested.
I’m playing “curse of the dead gods” right now. I wanted to scratch that hades itch while hades 2 is cooking. Pretty good, different, more random approach to the weapons system.
and a very invasive mechanic around lighting the rooms with a torch and immobile fireplaces. By default you get hit harder in the dark but there are also modifiers to give you benefits in the dark to change up the tradeoffs
I’m not sure I like it as much as Hades it’s a bit clunky but I’d recommend getting it in a sale for sure
