I thought that seemed odd as well. Solid chance it’s AI

Congrats! I’ve been stuck in Black Ops 6 lately, but I’ll need to get around to finishing the final draft soon. I look forward to reading your full thoughts then.

As a side note, there isn’t a community for Alan Wake and remedy games, is there? I feel like they have enough to discuss that it could merit one.

I really like how today’s commentary mirrors what you’re doing by starting the final draft. Deja-vu.

Congrats! I’m not at all surprised, but I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. Excellent game.

If you want a small break before playing The Final Draft, you could check out the DLC? It all takes place before/during AW2

What content would people like to see on this platform? I would think the fediverse audience would be a bit different from your average tiktok or instagram reels user

AW2 baby 🙌

This game is pretty demanding on steam deck, and I never got it to run in a way that was satisfying. If you have a more powerful PC, I’d try using moonlight to stream it instead

KDE Plasma

It was what came on the steam deck lol

Definitely toned down from Titanfall, but if you liked that game you’ll probably like Apex too!

I would say stress about the character selection too much, you’ll find characters that you enjoy more over time but abilities don’t overshadow good gunplay in the game.

A few small tips:

• heal your shields before your health (most of the time). Shield items are slightly faster to use than their HP equivalents but provide the same amount of healing (e.g. shield cell = 25shields ~2 seconds to use, health pack = 25hp ~3 seconds to use)
• when you kill an enemy and they drop their death box, you can loot their shield from the box to instantly recharge some or all of your shields. It can be really helpful even in the middle of a fight or if you know another squad is coming to third-party you
• don’t get too caught up looting, you’ll get good stuff a lot more quickly by taking out other teams who have already looted for you
• always be aware of where your squad mates are and make sure you’re close enough that you can get over and help them if need be

Best way to learn ofc is to just jump in and play some matches. Have fun!

I recommend giving Apex a shot. It has some really nice movement and gunplay.

I’m guessing you’re referring to Vampire Survivors, which does have the Bullet Hell tag on Steam.

I agree that it’s not a traditional Bullet Hell, but there are also three other games listed in this post. Seems like OP is just excited, no need to be rude.

October 22nd!

I’ve really been enjoying your updates on this playthrough. There’s a lot I like about AW1, but the gameplay wasn’t my favorite, so it’s like a nice vicarious replay.

AW2 is published by Epic, so I wouldn’t hold your breath about it coming to Steam. When you’re about to run it though, I highly recommend it. It’s the only game I’ve bought on EGS, and I’d do it again.

Thank goodness Remedy will be self-publishing going forwards. Control 2 can’t come soon enough.

These trailers have started to blend together for me, and I think that’s the issue. They might have a “nice vibe”, but that alone isn’t enough. What makes your game unique and fun to play? Sell me on that!

I’m so excited for this

The subtitles indicate the object at the end of the hallway is a painting. Maybe related to Rudolf Lane? The jumpscare images appear to be new characters. Just happy we’re getting more of Estevez and our friends at the FBC

Like they say, it’s a dog eat dog world

You’re right, while there are advantages to hosting a pds, it doesn’t seem you can run a fully fledged instance at this time

Great, you can host your own instance!

Is there a good alternative to this? Using one app for Blue sky, mastodon, and even Lemmy sounds cool
