Diabotical (New Arena Style FPS, a la Quake)

Anybody played this yet? I'm a long-time Quake 2 player, and I'm hoping this will be a new game (with much improved net code, etc.) that I can invest my time into. It's Free-to-Play through the Epic Launcher, so check it out if you haven't. It's been getting a fair amount of hype, and it seems...

One of the Hello Neighbor games was a freebie through the Epic Store not too long ago too.

Yet another base builder, Satisfactory.

It's not an MMO, but you can certainly run a multiplayer server for friends. Myself and a couple friends, sometimes four total, have run modded MC servers a handful of times. When I say "modded", I'm talking big modpacks, with 200 or more mods, including mods like IC2, Ender IO, Tinkers'...

Terraria Journey's End

The Daedalus Stormbow was nerfed a bit, as were the Holy Arrows in 1.4. The wiki says this is still a good strat for The Destroyer though. I didn't end up using it (still not sure what I used at that time - I think I used the Sergeant United Shield (super awesome) along with some other stuff).

Terraria Journey's End

Do you have wings yet? I found the Destroyer pretty difficult, too, when I first fought it (it killed me the first couple times I tried it, I think). I'm actually now trying to remember what I ended up doing to get past it. I'm pretty sure I had wings when I beat it the first time. I did make an...

Terraria Journey's End

Well, I'm up to 327 hours played in Terraria now. I got the Zenith sword and can lay waste to anything in nothing flat. The Moon Lord was tough for me at first. I had been using the Spectre Armor, with the hood that provides life steal, and that had served me well on most everything before ML...

Terraria Journey's End

I've owned Terraria since June of 2012 (just looked it up and had no idea it had been that long). Over the years I've tried to play it maybe two or three times, but I always grew disinterested largely because I had no clue what I was doing and didn't have the motivation to watch videos and read...

Poll: Your gaming control scheme?

You could think of it as the mouse being attached to the face, positioned just behind it, with the cord facing up. When you moved the mouse up/forward you would look up, when you moved the mouse down/back, you would look down.

Poll: Your gaming control scheme?

Why would my hand ever be on the back of my own head? In most FPS games, where you need to quickly lock onto a target, you're more often looking up (for mid-air shots, or other air-based targets). I wonder if pushing the mouse forward has better or worse muscle-memory control for such maneuvers...

Thoughts on Dying Light?

I loved it. The first time I played it, I got distracted by some other game and only made it about halfway through (but was having a blast up to that point). The second time I completed the main story, but having essentially all the upgrades at that point, the DLC didn't lure me in enough. I...

Gaming during the lockdown

I tried Doom 2016 about a couple years ago, but I played for less than an hour - I guess I just wasn't in the mood for that type of game at that time. I just recently fired it up again and was determined to stick it out. It ended up being really fun. I didn't realize it had all these unlockable...

About game install sizes

My current install of ARK: Survival Evolved is like 145GB, and I have like only 3 of the 8(?) maps installed. Throw in some big mods and/or total conversions and you could easily get over 200GB for the one game.

ARK: Survival Evolved PC

I play single-player, locally, and have over 1000 hours into the game. I have played on very small multi-player servers with, at most, 3 or 4 other people. That probably accounts for maybe 10 of those 1000+ hours though. For $5 it's easily worth it. There are at least 3 free DLC maps too (The...

Discussion So I played "Don't Starve" for the first time.

I've tried getting into it a couple times. The second time I played, it seemed like there wasn't all that much to do (or at least to build). I played for quite a bit longer the second time, and I didn't die, but it just kinda got to the point where I wasn't sure why I cared to "not starve" any...

Subnautica again. I last played it sometime in 2017, before it was finished. The ending wasn't complete at that time, so I couldn't actually finish the game (though I did essentially complete all the content that was available then). To me, it doesn't have a high level of replayability (static...

I don't particularly want to start amassing a collection of games on another launcher, personally. I'll collect the free games that Epic gives out, since I've lost nothing if they eventually shut down, but I feel like Steam is the best option long term. The $10 off coupon is enticing, but in the...

Another vote for KB/M. If it's a FPS game, and KB/M is an option, I always go KB/M. This game is no exception. I suppose it comes down to what you're more comfortable with. Other than that, I can't think of a single advantage (performance-wise) with a controller over KB/M.
