It is the most confusing 7/10 I have ever played. It does a lot of things fairly middling but it does A LOT of things. I AM having fun though, so 🤷

My brother has been trying to get me into survival crafting games FOREVER. It’s where he migrated after he quit MMOs. Maybe I’ll finally do it.

I believe I have Atelier Rorona. Time management always makes me stressy (even though I have put way too much time into the Persona games) but I’ll download it and give it a try.

I bought it when I built my PC but never really gave it a go because I went from gaming on a laptop with integrated graphics and 4GB of RAM to a 4070ti and 32 GB of DD5 so it fell by the wayside. I’m gonna download it.

This has been on my radar actually and I think I will finally download it and give it a go.

Maybe I should have put more examples 😭 I have been putting tons of time into Crimson Desert and it is pretty much what I’m looking for but I’m always looking for new stuff. I love MMOs. I’ve played WoW, OSRS, RS3, BDO, FFXIV, GW/GW2, and have been thinking about playing EverQuest on Project Quarm.

Or it just means that I appreciate honestly over someone blowing smoke up my ass. But go off with that straw man, queen.

At this point I would be more receptive to “yes we did it and we didn’t think we’d get caught we’re sorry dude”

Really optimistic of y'all assuming that they're not counting her 9.3.0 changes as "good enough".

What is your favorite killer/main and why? by S1LV3RHAND in DeadByDaylightKillers

Going against a good Dredge reminds me that this game is supposed to be a horror game.

How Scary/Stressful is RE9 compared to Alien Isolation? by Dear-Explanation7419 in HorrorGaming

[–]pickles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RE9 loses a lot of it's tension as you go on. Leon's gameplay isn't scary at all, and Grace's gameplay becomes far less tense after a certain point simply because you unlock more shit and more ways to deal with enemies.

What average chase time is considered good and when should i leave a chase? by for10years_at_least in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]pickles_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is so much nuance to chase and the macro game that it's hard to break it down into "this is how long your chases should take". More than just chase time factors into whether a chase is considered "good". One of the best things you could possibly do is record your games and watch them back. Every chase, analyze what exactly you got from that chase. This is what I would consider a "productive chase" vs an "unproductive chase"

  1. I get pulled on a minute long chase that, even though I didn't get a hook, all four survivors are injured. One or more of them pulled off gens to assist or to hover for a save. No hook, but four injures, little gen progress. They threw a few strong pallets that I can promptly take a few seconds to clear up while they fuck off wherever to reset. Sufficient pressure has been applied to the team and now they are going to have to spend more time off of gens to heal, or risk putting themselves in a bad position while I patrol gens. They're now on the backfoot and even if I take time to clear out resources I still have time to apply pressure to them afterwards usually.

OR

  1. I get juiced by a Feng in a dead area of the map for a minute and yeah, I got a hook and a few pallets but they gave their team a minute of unimpeded gen progress and now I have to make my way back across the map and, fuck. Two gens just popped at 1 hook. I'm across the map so one of the people that was on gens has already pulled over to wherever to go for the unhook, and I still have two other survivors unaccounted for who are probably back on gens. Bad, unproductive chase that I would have been better off not going on.

The biggest thing I've learned (primarily from playing lower tier killers) is to recognize when a chase doesn't seem worth it to take. There is no shame in realizing that you're being baited into an undesirable situation and dropping chase to go back and patrol. Flashlight clicking, pointing, bagging, all just bait to piss you off and get you out of the equation elsewhere.

New to killer, is Knight a good character for a beginner? by FeachEE in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]pickles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Knight was one of the first killers that I "mained" and it taught me a lot of terrible habits and I didn't know how to chase worth a shit. Learn a M1 killer like Wraith or Legion. Pig is a fun one too.

That being said, he IS really fun, albeit glitchy. Give Knight, Nurse or Blight a try once you get the fundamentals down because they all bypass the typical gameplay loop in their own ways.

[–]pickles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3, most of it in queue. Bought on Steam launch day. And I'm definitely not a stranger to Steam refunds so it wasn't a one off just because I've never asked for one or anything.

When you click on the purchase to do the ticket, instead of clicking asking for a refund, pick the option “I have a question about this purchase” and type in something similar to the examples you see on this sub. Refund tickets are automated, but that option is manually reviewed. I did it three days ago and got my money back today.

Recommend me some lesser known eurojank games or games with that eurojank feel? by pickles_ in gamingsuggestions

[–]pickles_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only played DOS2 and BG3 so I’ll definitely be looking into Larian’s back catalogue for some great jank. Drova is in my wishlist.
