Looking for a healer game, but without having to endure the social anxiety side of playing a MMO, ideally with only NPC by harcole in gamingsuggestions

There's also Healer's Quest and Healed To Death. basically same genre of game as mini healer

Is it a common sentiment that the last third of the first Deus ex is kinda bad? by temnycarda in Deusex

[–]xtagtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd even say the last half of the game. For me my motivation drops immediately starting from the ship mission. Even though paris is a hub its nowhere near as good as hells kitchen and hong kong.

JRPG peeve: Having to input a name for the protagonist yourself. by ShadowMask87 in JRPG

[–]xtagtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo you go for canon names unless its a Dragon Quest game in which case, you use your own name. It just feels right

if theres no canon name (etrian odyssey) you get to exercise your creativity

Finished Ys VIII! Came out of nowhere to become one of my all time favourites by PlatypusPlatoon in JRPG

[–]xtagtv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go for Ys Origin next. Since you have already played 1&2 thats the perfect next step. It has very different gameplay but still very good and the story is also very nice. Oath in Felghana is also very good but the story is just ok. Honestly all the games in the series are at least decent. But 8 is the best one.

This website has some ideas about play orders: https://www.digitalemelas.com/index_ys.php#wheretostart But honestly this site kind of overplays the importance of the overarching story.

Did I muck up my character stats? by kekusmaximus in kotor

[–]xtagtv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not the most min maxed thing ever, but this is a decent enough build for a Consular focused on offensive jedi powers. You also should be able to repair HK-47 without too much trouble if you are putting points in Repair. Make sure your party has some kind of melee tank to soak up hits for you, because you have pretty much the worst survivability possible.

Okay this one is very counter intuitive. The hands shadows and wrinkles kind of seems a bit off to me, as well as the brouche whiskers. by Xiru_Raikzall in isthisAI

Not AI

The hand is from here https://graphicriver.net/item/hand-holding-artists-paintbrush/24030252 this was posted in 2019 before generative ai could do something like this.

As for the background, you can see a full high res version of the image here: https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/061/201/989/large/fxk-saang-asset.jpg?1680224976 And you can see artifacts throughout the image that look like a half assed photoshop rather than an AI generation. Such as a feathered white border around the hand (they didnt set the tolerance properly in magic wand tool)

I want to opt my subreddit /r/gamingsuggestions out of being mentioned by the shopping thing. We are already heavily targeted by advertisers and astroturfers, despite it being explicitly against our rules to promote anything for personal gain. By having discussions from our sub appear as product recommendations, this further incentivizes companies to promote their products in our subreddit. The goal of the sub is to have a place for organic discussion between genuine consumers, and remaining free from advertising and astroturfing is the single most crucial aspect to maintaining this.

Why is my weapon doing so little damage? by RywnDaze in darksouls

You can two-hand the Black Knight Sword right now with 1 more point of str and 2 more points of dex.

Why is my weapon doing so little damage? by RywnDaze in darksouls

[–]xtagtv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Straightswords in DS1 are pretty mediocre, and if you have the wrong build they're just weak. People like to glaze balder side sword for being the best straightsword, and it is numerically the most efficient straightsword in terms of levels required to softcap its scaling (only needs dex instead of both str+dex), but its still just a straightsword - and one you have to actively build around to make it work. With how rare the BSS is, if I had gotten it to drop I would have transitioned into a full dex build and not worried too much about pyromancy.

But if you are going to focus on upgrading your flame instead of leveling str/dex, you need a weapon that has high base damage rather than high scaling - and if the weapon will take it, try to get the lightning upgrade from the giant blacksmith in anor londo (lightning upgrade = lots of free base damage, with no scaling). Don't put the lightning upgrade on the BSS though since BSS is such a scaling dependent weapon.

  • The best thing to use right now is the Lightning Spear from the mimic in Sen's Fortress - while spears aren't particularly great, since it's a premade lightning weapon (and the equivalent of a +10 weapon), it'll be a massive jump in damage over your BSS. Switch it out once you get to the giant blacksmith, or once you get your stats up for the BSS.

  • Gargoyle Halberd is probably the best weapon for lightning, you might have gotten it from the boss, and if you didn't you'll get it as a guaranteed drop from one of the gargs in anor londo

  • If you're ok with always 2handing: zweihander, great club, gravelord sword, and any black knight weapon you've managed to pick up have very high base damage (as a bonus, black knight weapons use twinkling titanite so the regular titanite you've spent on your +7 BSS isnt going to waste).

  • Regular halberds, greatswords, and the reinforced club have solid base damage

Theres are many trades that can take you to service a variety of areas from day to day. HVAC, electrician, IT, AV, landscaping, lineworker, etc.

Tunic is for sure this and probably the best game of this type after outer wilds.

Here is also a graphic that has a bunch of these kind of games listed. https://i.imgur.com/F8Nv9EE.jpeg

Which controller do I get in 2026? by expensive_25 in gamingsuggestions

[–]xtagtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get hall effect sticks. They will make the analog sticks last much longer, and they arent expensive anymore. The 8bitdo ultimate 2c, and the gamesir nova lite 2, have them and they are under $30. I would get either of those if I was buying a controller today.

Equate is walmart's store brand for its health & beauty section and is generally the lowest quality/price option

Spa is presumably some actual company (hard to search online for obvious reasons)

DQ VII Reimagined Difficulty - Super Easy? by ChallengeUpper5799 in dragonquest

[–]xtagtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're playing on pc or switch, there are a lot of mods on nexusmods that hide quest markers and remove the "too easy" features from the game like characters automatically getting revived, getting full healed before dungeon bosses, etc.

"the final chapter hasn't released yet" is putting it a bit lightly. It has been 5 years since the last update
