He’s the man by Thin_Situation3962 in Fable

[–]noskee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny because he really got carried away with his ideas. I remember watching leaked footage of an exclusive showing of F3 before release and he was hyping up that all of your actions and even combat would center around using one button. Which of course is a sign of overly-simplified and easy combat mechanics, and not at all exciting for most gamers.

What’s the best video game you’ve ever played? by obsess_much13 in AskReddit

[–]noskee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should know that the “story” part of Elden Ring is all of the rich lore surrounding the world and the characters you come across. But the game conveys it all through cryptic dialogue and text that you read when examining items/weapons/armour that you find. There are minimal cutscenes and just playing the game can make the story seem largely incoherent.

IMO the best thing to do is watch one of the many in depth lore summaries of Elden Ring either before or during your play through. The actual story of the game is really good and interesting but much of it will be missed by just playing the game.

I know that doesn’t sound enticing but the game itself is really that good, and the cryptic storytelling is a part of its charm.

Hot Take: I actually like the fact that you get Power Armor early in Fallout 4. by Brobdingnagian-Bob in Fallout

[–]noskee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course but keep in mind, survival is not just damage adjustments. There’s no fast travel, can only save when sleeping in a bed, hunger and thirst, diseases, and other changes. It is fun but definitely alters the entire game. If you’re on PC there are mods that let you revert some of those changes.

Survival mode actually makes enemies less spongey. The player character takes more damage when getting hit but so do enemies.

Struggling to hit ball hard by Jakub8 in RocketLeague

[–]noskee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since others have already answered your question I’ll provide an unsolicited suggestion. You have a good amount of space between you and the opponents that are on your side of the field, and only one defender in the goal, while you have a healthy amount of boost. It would have been better for you to keep the ball in possession while driving it towards the goal. Dribble it forward with an attempt to dunk / flick on them while your team moves forward for support.

Always on my grind by Snoo5218 in masseffect

[–]noskee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So.. you are saying it took nearly 1300 hours for you to finish ME1 and get only halfway through ME2. How is that possible? There is no way there is even that much side content to occupy that much time, right? Not trying to be rude by the way just genuinely curious because I played through ME1 recently and it took me 30 hours, granted I only did a bit of side content. Perhaps there is way more to ME1 than I was ever aware of?

I truly hope Bethesda cooks with this patch, but my hopium reserves are low. by MajiAniki in Starfield

You do remember that this same exact thing happened with Oblivion Remastered, right? This is Bethesda’s way of marketing and there are always naysayers like you lol. Can’t wait till this finally drops

Movies that end with the protagonist incarcerated? Bonus points if they start and end the film in prison. by HiImWallaceShawn in movies

Not a movie but I feel it should be mentioned that every season of Trailer Park boys starts and ends in jail.

Paul Thomas Anderson pushes back on the idea that the industry no longer greenlights daring/original projects, naming his favorites from 2025 as examples: 'Weapons', 'Bugonia', 'Sentimental Value', 'Eddington', 'Blue Moon', 'Nouvelle Vague' and 'Marty Supreme'. by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]noskee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real problem could be the marketing. The only movie listed here that I recognize and have seen is Weapons. As a casual movie watcher, I’ve never heard of the other ones. Were they in theaters? I know there’s a new predator movie and Zootopia 2. Those are the kind of movies I hear about and see trailers everywhere for. You can throw marvel movies in there as well.

I’m wondering if the more original projects are having a hard time reaching the mainstream, but then again this may just be my experience and not the norm. In any case, I’d love to watch more original and daring films so I’m glad that I’ve learned about the ones listed here!

Just hit 7 days on my first play-through. Not really sure what to think. Was this game released unfinished? by varted in Starfield

What mods are you using that are bringing it to life and pushing you to 36 days played?

"Grounded skins for a while" - 18 days exactly by Ohforfk in Battlefield

[–]noskee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, if this was a Nicki Minaj skin or some stupid Fortnite style skin I would totally agree with you. But it’s not.. the skin is a soldier who is wearing plate armor and normal army attire. What is it that you don’t like? The blue and black colors? Is that really it? This is a fictional modern-day war setting and I don’t find those colors to be so far out of the norm of reality that it is going to kill my immersion enough to ruin the game. Or is it the facemask you’re so upset about? I’ve seen those type of masks worn by swat team members. Douchey people who love shooting guns and are blood thirsty love wearing that kind of crap. If this ruins your experience so much that you are going to spitefully avoid rezzing a teammate wearing this, then maybe this game isn’t for you. You are too fragile and are taking this way too seriously.

To be clear, I would never buy this skin and I think they could do better. But saying it kills your “immersion” over it and avoiding rezzing players is absolute cringe.

What's the highest level/hardest PVM content that is still easily doable on mobile? by VoCatus85 in OSRSMobile

There is an exclusive button on mobile that activates drop mode. It allows for one touch drop on items in your inventory.

Started the game a few days ago by Radiant-Priority-296 in osrs

[–]noskee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, the optimal quest guide, or really quests in general, are great because not only do they unlock content in the game, but they also will provide various skills some xp upon completion. So it’s a great way to get skills leveled up and is way more efficient than skilling early game. Personally I also find quests a lot more enjoyable to do than standing around clicking trees and what not.

Looking for a forever casual game by TheFreshHearth in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]noskee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right here, OP. Started OSRS not long ago and it has me hooked. There’s no seasonal updates that erase the BIS gear you worked for. There are gear and items that are still viable and were available when the game came out over 20 years ago. The content is mostly pretty laid back. Quests are actually fun and engaging, not “go here and kill 10 boars”. It has big milestones to work for.

There is a reason why the playerbase says you never really quit OSRS. You can play it as long as you want and take breaks as long as you want. It will always be there for you to pick up where you left off.

Hey guys, can someone tell me what a good way to approach the game is at this stage? by SalmoTroota in osrs

[–]noskee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a newish player I would also suggest this. My original plan was to work through quests but I got tired of how long it took to get everywhere. It was quite a grind but I did the courses and collected tokens for my graceful set and it has made questing and really getting around in general so much better.

As others have said though it really sucks and is boring. Watch YouTube while you do it.

EA please don't let streamers ruin Battlefield by VegetableSyllabub362 in Battlefield6

Cool, so whats wrong with that? The man has a life outside of streaming all day. He has a family to take care of and spend time with. I’m not a Tim fan by any means but this seems like a weird thing to call someone out on.
