Does anybody else have a weird relationship with the Just Cause games? in c/gaming

Oh they totally don't lol. I adore their campiness.

JC2 is my baby XD

My main reason is the different biomes of 2. A desert, a massive city, snowy mountains, an island archipelago. I love seeing it all sprawl out in the distance and knowing that it's all mine to explore and do whatever.

I guess the reason I bring this up is because Just Cause feels uniquely, gloriously pointless to me.

I love 'em. Just Cause 3 practically has Gmod in it's DNA. But at the same time, I'm strangely aware of the loop.

I picked up Just Cause 2 after a long time of not playing it a little while ago and I had a bit of a realization....

I simultaneously get bored easily with and highly enjoy these games. Outposts and towns are incredibly repetitive, and those make up 90% of the game's runtime. It's not like that's all there is, and Just Cause 3 does have some other side diversions and new tools, but in the end, I'm just running, driving, and/or flying around a massive, largely empty, albeit pretty map.

It's incredibly mindless sometimes, and I never stick around too long, but there's also this call to it. It is mindless.

It's simple. I know where to go, what I'm gonna do. Im gonna see some pretty sights, big explosions, and I'm gonna zip around like a deranged Spider-Man. No deep planning or strategy, just spur-of-the-moment chaos. See a thing? Blow it up.

It's almost like candy. As long as I only come back and play it here and there, I will play it consistently.

Side note: On a certain level, exploring Just Cause's maps is pleasant in its own way. They are remarkably pretty and it kind of scratches an itch of just being able to GO. No real destination, no plan, just going.

What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs? in c/gaming
[–] Silvia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

BOTW's is not my favorite of the series, but damn is it perfect for the game it's in. The music pairs BEAUTIFULLY with the world.

[–] Silvia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Gonna have to say this in no specific order because it's too hard to pick true favorites:

-Assassin's Creed 2

-Xenoblade Chronicles

-Pizza Tower

-Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (or... any Zelda game but damn Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess are so damn memorable)

-Metal Slug 5

-Yakuza 0

And a lot more that I'm spacing right now.

Edit: BLASPHEMOUS!! That game has a beautiful, haunting soundtrack.

I've recently stumbled into boomer shooters with WH40K: Boltgun. Please recommend some other games in the genre! in c/gaming

Excellent suggestions all around in the comments! I own all of these XD There is one that wasn't mentioned that I would highly recommend. Dread Templar is a good one.

The disrespect that the average person gets from corporations these days is fucking unbelievable. This current thing with reddit is something especially BS. ALL of the work in the various subreddits were done by the community, supported by third-party apps ALSO built by the community.

I remember seeing that you get a few days early access if you pre-order. Dear lord, playing a PRE-day one Bethesda RPG? Forget buggy, it'll be a pile of writhing polygons on the floor.

Is it normal to start reading a book but then suddenly realize that you have no idea what's going on in the plot because you have been reading the words but ignoring their meaning? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Silvia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I remember reading a new book that interested me, finished it, and realized I remembered NOTHING and didn't understand the ending at all. So I read the book again. It was pretty good. ... can't remember the book lol

How’s everyone liking this so far? in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

A simple, stable mod that I adore. Adds Alfiq Khajiit to caravans, adds a few as potential followers, and has a random chance to be a courier!

(Newly Trans - MTF) Seeking advice about feeling femme (lemmy.world)
 

A little while ago, I finally come out as trans to my friends. They've been wonderful, supportive, and encouraging. They were honestly the whole reason I finally was able to discover myself, especially my GF. But, and here's the key, I'm in a very delicate living situation, I'm pretty poor, and I can't reasonably just leave where I am and live somewhere else, not right now at least. Between the world and my rather transphobic family, I'm kind of stuck. I obviously can't get more feminine clothing, hair, ANY makeup of any sort, or anything I really want to try. I don't wanna make this a whole sob story or anything, so basically. Does anybody have some advice to FEEL more like a girl?
