    Play Sea of Thieves! It literally has mandatory downtime (sailing) and fun things to do in that downtime (fishing, cooking, playing music). It's the anti-that.

    If people running past enemies to finish missions faster pisses you off, Warframe is literally the single worst game in the universe you could pick to play.

    Yeah I played every Borderlands game solo to finish before doing co-op because groups just run through everything as fast as possible.

    I had a buddy of mine who was WAY into Diablo 2. Like played hours a day for years, had multiple high level hardcore characters and more.

    Years later, we tried to do Diablo II at lan parties multiple times, and every fucking time he'd be a mile ahead and lamenting at us slowpolks who would pick up everything on the ground, scrutinize all the gear and try to do all the quests before moving on.

    Fast foward probably a damn decade and my brother and I are playing Marvel Heroes and we managed to get my friend playing it. This was after we had probably beat the game a dozen times or so (multiple characters), so naturally we were blitzing through the game while my friend was still taking it slow with his first playthrough.

    I never felt as vindicated as when my friend said "Now I know what it feels like when you guys play Diablo 2 with me."

    I'll never forget the first time I switched the thingy to do public stuff instead of solo. It was like training to run a race and then finding out that everyone else in the race was gonna be on a motorcycle

    Scott comes across as optimistic, unflappable, and sarcastic, at least as I play him (mostly top right and bottom left dialogue choices). Like he doesn't know what he's doing but he's confident things will work out if he just maintains momentum. It's a nice change of pace from the vague PTSD Shepard has in ME3.

    And if you don't want to go the Game Pass route it will be $25 on the MS store during their Black Friday sale.

    Hey, it looks like TES Online is free this weekend.

    As someone who hates and fears other human beings, is it worth trying out? Is it the kind of MMO where I can noodle around all by myself and pretend I'm alone on the server, or are there going to be randos bunny hopping all over the place?

  • WheatBun01WheatBun01 Face It, Tiger Registered User regular
    Sea of Thieves is some of the most fun I've ever had playing a game with my friends but can also be deeply tedious and you should brace yourself for some people rolling up on your and blowing you away in the middle of a quest.

    Just been reading the Planet Zoo RPS review and now I really want Planet Zoo.

    There's been a few people with stability complaints and it's reportedly still got enough gameplay bugs that it's worth considering if you really want it now or if you might prefer to wait until it's been patched a few times to get the best experience.

    Yes - you can play ESO as an almost entirely-solo experience. It has one of my favorite crafting systems in an MMO.

  • MorivethMoriveth BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWNRegistered User regular
    I kinda want to get back into ESO. It was an enjoyable ES-like game that didn't feel TOO much like a MMO.

  • JayKaosJayKaos Registered User regular
    Friend of mine's been trying to get me into ESO for a while, I need to figure out what server she's on so I can try it for the free weekend without telling her just in case I hate it.

    Yea id give it till the new year before picking up. It needs a couple rounds of parches.

    I have spent around 200h playing TESO and 99% of those where solo (doing just main story quests and side quests while ignoring group dungeons and pvp activities).
    I know people in these same forums who have spend 5 times more than I (with several characters/classes) playing it as if it was a single player game.

    Definitely wait a bit or for a sale before picking up. Numerous crash bugs, gameplay issues (animal feeding still not working properly, workers get stuck, mouse disappears, and more), lots of small weird/bad design things. Devs have a good track record of regular patches and free/paid DLC, so it should improve greatly over the next few months.

    Humble Choice, the updated and more expensive Humble Monthly, will be starting up on December 6th. If you want the Classic plan, be sure to have an active subscription before then.

  • HobnailHobnail Registered User regular
    Well I beat Noita, I guess...I dunno that game falls into that weird zone where if I fail I feel like its bullshit because of bad rolls and when I succeed I feel like it had nothing to do with me because of good rolls, like I just happened to get the glass cannon and explosion immunity perks and just vaporised everything in near total safety, it was fun in a very vacuous sort of way but I kind of never want to play it again now

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

    Yeah, why not, I'm gonna reinstall ESO tonight

    Probably make a new character though, since I have no idea what my previous character was doing

    Should we figure out a server so we can maybe meet up together on it?

    Ya I've gone back to building in planet coaster for now because of the bugs in Zoo.

    It's annoying too because the feeding issue was the main bug reported during the beta.
