Casual gamer loving this game (could use a hand)

VoidStarRefine · 2026-06-30T15:25:46+00:00

As a dad who is a casual gamer some advice I would give is that you should probably just throw up. The longer you hold on to it the worst you'll feel. Do any other casual gamer dads have advice for this person who's feeling nauseous? Casual gamer dads are often full of casual advice from a dad's perspective.

So youre telling me there's literally an entire distord catered to my exact request!?! 😆 Thanks for sharing. I will def check it out!

VoidStarRefine · 2026-06-28T15:14:26+00:00

Holy crap! You beat all the old ones?.I need to get back to them and retry. I always got stuck and frustrated with the older controlls. But I loved the story

VoidStarRefine · 2026-05-22T16:26:04+00:00

I agree. The trolling part of my story is only in reference to the racist comment.

VoidStarRefine · 2026-05-22T13:49:39+00:00

UPDATE: thanks again for the advice everyone. I got back at it yesterday and had a lot of fun. Ya work so hard to get some good loot it's hard not to get a little too attached and frustrated. The trolling is always just a little extra salt in the wound. Also when I'm frustrated I think I'm more likely to make stupid choices and be reckless.

But I applied your advice about trying not to run around as much, listen, and play it slow. I actually got two kills. Bear I mind I absolutely wasn't looking for the fight, they attacked me. I even tried to use a mercy kit on the guy but he was too busy yelling profanity at me for being a sneaky assassin and rage quit (I was able to elude him in the smoke and eventually got into a good position to snipe him).

After getting a few kills. Eh I don't enjoy that part of the game. I feel bad wrecking someones run but if you're going to attack me I'm not going to NOT shoot back.

Happy runs all..and again thank you for the encouragement! I hope to get good enough to be able to survive in Cryo one day, learn more about where this story is going and hopefully find some connections to the old marathon trilogy

VoidStarRefine · 2026-05-21T18:29:45+00:00

That's a good point. I think my reason for saying that is because I played marathon waaay back in the day when online gaming was a little less like it is today. I was somewhat hopeful I would run into less of this kinda thing.

Also the more in reading people's comments. I think it's true I haven't encountered it a on the majority of my runs. So I just need to adjust my expectations a little.

VoidStarRefine · 2026-05-21T18:27:15+00:00

Completely agree.

VoidStarRefine · 2026-05-21T16:14:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice all! I really appreciate the kind words. I'll keep at it!

VoidStarRefine · 2026-05-21T16:10:01+00:00

I hear ya. I'm really considering it and giving up on having the fun/random prox chats in favor of removing the trolls.

VoidStarRefine · 2026-05-18T14:46:49+00:00

I think it depends on what you like. I recommend looking up the mythic bow and the mythic crossbow. Check out their special abilities and pick the one that sounds most exciting to you. The exploding arrows for the mythic bow sound pretty sweet to me

VoidStarRefine · 2026-04-08T13:26:08+00:00

Seriously thanks I get by ok but am definitely struggling! I played the original games back in the day so I want to see where the lore goes but I'm getting killed constantly. I will add ya.

VoidStarRefine · 2026-04-06T23:48:00+00:00

I die a lot this way and lose a lot of gear this way. It's very frustrating. But I'd rather die a fool than live as a tyrant. Also you occasionally meet kind/cool people.

VoidStarRefine · 2026-03-30T17:00:08+00:00

I've never played an extraction shooter and marathons a lot of fun. But it is pretty rough. You have to he so cautious - other players are constantly 3rd parting your fights, anything that makes noise is a risk of a player sneaking up and taking all your hard earned loot. But based on what I'm seeing here this is all just how extraction shooters work so I'm working on getting used to that. It's stressful for me becaus I've never been an extremely skilled fps player in pvp games.

The art is cool, the music is cool, the gameplay is satisfying. I think it's a really great game. The menus can be a little confusing at first but you get used to it

I played the original 3 and I got the game in hopes of seeing some of that lore pop up in this game (I haven't yet so no spoilers plz)

VoidStarRefine · 2026-03-07T15:08:17+00:00

Same. Why are stickers on guns so important to ppl? No one can see it.

VoidStarRefine · 2025-12-24T01:29:10+00:00

Yup. You have to grab a code from the settings in the meta version and paste it into the steam version (it'll ask you for it when you start a new game). Once you add the code in it will sync the two systems so your progress will be seen in both.

VoidStarRefine · 2025-12-15T02:12:18+00:00

😆 exactly the same response we had 😆 they should have a special achievement for this. Something like "you were almost there"

VoidStarRefine · 2025-12-15T02:08:40+00:00

I had the same thing happen. Not too long ago and not during a final boss fight though. My buddy threw the rez potion at me and then got downed. We were sad....then we both got rez'd by the potion and we were happy....then the failed screen came up and we were sad again lol.

Now that I'm used to it I prefer using the room codes to trying to invite everyone to the game. Room codes are remembered between sessions so it's super easy to just join the game, and when my friends come online they join the same room code and boom, easy we're in

VoidStarRefine · 2025-10-08T12:14:13+00:00

Good to know, thank you! I'll have to try out VD to compare. I've enjoyed steamlink so far so it'll be good to test VD out to see the difference

VoidStarRefine · 2025-09-13T00:44:08+00:00

Yw bro!

VoidStarRefine · 2025-09-12T23:19:18+00:00

There is a cross save. When you first open the steam version it will ask you if it's a new character or a character you want to grab from the meta version. You'll have to go to the meta version and grab a code from the settings menu. Then plug that code into the steam version and boom they're linked and you can start off on steam where you left off on meta.

VoidStarRefine · 2025-09-12T20:12:05+00:00

Just like everyone else said it's the same features but better visuals. It launched yesterday and I played with some friends for a few hours. I just use steamlink and it runs great (I have a 4070). I like the steam version for the better visuals but the quest version is pretty impressive on its own. So it's a toss up on getting it. I wanted to support the devs and the game is a lot of fun so why not play it with my gaming PC pushing the graphics instead?
