just got destiny 2, how long will it take me to get bored?

I'm at 275 and trying to get my character stronger to maybe take a shot at the raid, but I'm bored of the grind.

I'm taking a 2-day break from stardew valley, because part of me wants to just go as deep as I can in the mines, part of me wants to just socialize, and another part of me wants to get really good at fishing, but really what I want, what I REALLY want, is some horror content, because if anything is a set up to the Stepford / Wicker Man / GET OUT trope, it's this fucking town.
The carpenter lost "her favorite axe" in the woods. The mayor wants me to hunt down his favorite purple shorts. The librarian has the key to the sewer, where something apparently lives, if you ask the children. The multinational discount retailer is evil, not our strange pastoral way of life where beer costs 400 whatevers and for some reason the museum has no exhibits whatsoever until yours truly comes along. My farm has a second structure on the grounds which is in utter ruins, but nobody talks about that. Sure. This is fine.

everything is perfectly normal...in stardew valley. O_O

glad you stuck with it and seem to be enjoying it. i love the harvest moon/stardew valley genre and i want someone to perfect it
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 04:51 (six years ago) link
haha if stardew valley was secretly a horror game and no one had broken kayfabe on it for, what, two years, that would be the most amazing thing in the world to me

playing earthbound on the snes classic. previously i had tried it multiple times, starting with a cartridge rental close to its release and afterwards on emulators, but never got past threed. now i have 6/8 of the songs and i just got through a cave full of starmen. it is grindy, but not as bad as i had thought. hint to future players: don't bother with slingshots or yo-yos, they miss too often.

can't say I'm not loving the EA battlefront 2 backlash . I had originally planned on getting it .

i’ll probably buy and play it for the single player anyway :/

finally picked up the first of the recent wolfenstein games, though, and it’s fun!will finish it and maybe check out the new one over the winter

i was going to do the same but i'll wait till it's on sale or buy used

Loot boxes/pay-to-win is the scourge of video gaming. I have almost no interest in triple-A console games anymore, and my computer is too old/shitty to run Steam games. This will be the first time in probably fifteen or so years where I don't buy at least one of the big fall triple-a games.
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 23:27 (six years ago) link
if lootboxes ruin games to the extent that I am forced to get a life I will be fuckin furious

psssst... get a switch

Seconded

switch is gonna have so much more support next year now that all the publishers that were tentative about it have seen it's the real deal and not another wii u bust
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 00:37 (six years ago) link
esp from japanese studios, its selling even better over there than in the states
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 00:38 (six years ago) link
well this year has had Mario / Zelda / Mario + Rabbids / Persona 5 / Yakuza 0 + Kiwami / Nier / Horizon / Senua's Sacrifice / Wolfenstein 2 amongst others.
none of them asked me for more money. its pretty easy to avoid the games that do and still play a ton of amazing and 'big' games.

it's these guys: http://www.greyaliengames.com/they have a well-reviewed "regency solitaire" game that looks like a warmup to shadowhand and is basically anglophile/eyre story solitaire i may try while i'm waiting to see if i like the way they do the mechanics

Stardew Valley
i bought this a week ago, the hype was real. already i accidentally have stayed up til 5am several times tending to crops and scavenging on the beach.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 23 November 2017 15:22 (six years ago) link
that's what it does! i detached when it got a bit clingy, should likely restart.
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 23 November 2017 17:15 (six years ago) link
Did it take you guys a while to get into it? I only played it for 15 minutes, but found nothing appealing about it, so I haven't returned to give it a proper try. It sorta made me think back to the miserable hour I spent with a grinding game called Don't Starve.
― Øystein, Thursday, 23 November 2017 17:47 (six years ago) link
has anyone played what remains of edith finch?
i really like these sort of games, usually.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, 23 November 2017 18:03 (six years ago) link
w/ stardew valley it took me a few "tries" to get into. once i got my farm anything near working, that's when it started to get addictive.
― flippy bard (Will M.), Thursday, 23 November 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link
I read AdBru’s post wrong and was initially indignant like wtf cheat code lets your character stay up until 5am
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 23 November 2017 20:46 (six years ago) link
I also just started Stardew and was hooked by like the 5th day. still no idea what I'm doing but I like that the game doesn't seem to care how long it takes you to figure everything out
― ciderpress, Thursday, 23 November 2017 23:24 (six years ago) link
hard west is not v good, i've decided
― the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Friday, 24 November 2017 14:24 (six years ago) link
ah you've all convinced me to get Stardew
― Ste, Friday, 24 November 2017 15:00 (six years ago) link
lol my cheatcode was Pinot Noir.
i just built a coop and am trying to gather enough clay for a silo so i can start collecting hay to feed my chickens. this is awesome cos irl i have tried to have chickens several times and was always usurped by legality and city codes. now all that grass i am reaping w my scythe can go towards feeding some animals. i like it!
there is so much to do. i haven't finished my first year and already am seeing so many options and things to pursue. yet you can play this in bite-sized day-long chunks, casually. Switch is the perfect platform for this imo. fishing w the joycons is pretty cool, the hd rumble letting you know when one is on the line. fishing took me a few days to figure out but once i got started it was as addicting as any of this game's great activities.
the music in this game is so good!!! best soundtrack since Shovel Knight? it really captures the feel of those chill 16-bit village games without sounding consciously retro about it. the synths and tones are still modern, more like a chillwave version of the SNES waveset. stunning that this was made by one person. did they do the music too?

i keep getting the audio bug where there's static. from what i understand, setting the switch to mono sound and resetting the system fixes that?
