If you want to explore the most toxic community on the internet, install Dota 2.

Appropriate reaction honestly

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

my good sir, have you ever had the displeasure of playing League of legends?

[-] msage@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I have, before Dota 2 beta invite.

How is it nowadays?

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

just as gobshite as ever of course

[-] msage@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

It was such a shame, too.

It fixed a lot of issues of W3 era of Dota, but could not hold a candle in any gameplay aspects.

[-] elouboub@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

My Lord, I had the distinct displeasure of being granted access to a few pre-mades. Not to be repeated

[-] BattleBeetle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, the "if you don't know the hero then don't play it" game

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago

I too remember getting chewed out for randoming in an unranked match.

Now my friends exclusively play in private lobbies with bots.

[-] joemo@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

I stopped playing dota after thousands of hours because I got fed up with the community. I only have a certain amount of time I can game now and it's frustrating to waste that little bit of time with super toxic and raging teammates. Does it happen in every game? No but it happened enough that I don't want to risk it.

It looks like they finally are working to fix that, however I transitioned over to a new game - Path of Exile. It's great, the only person I can blame for mistakes now is myself ๐Ÿ˜€.

[-] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

It's really sad considering how amazing DOTA was umpty bajillion years ago. Also Enfo's survival.

I'd throw in a vote for HoloCure. It's like Vampire Survivors, and even if you know nothing about Hololive, its pretty addicting.

[-] takenaps@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Will check it out, just stumbled into vampire survivors that game is awesome

[-] mana@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago

As someone who doesn't follow vtubers, I can confirm Holocure is excellent, and obviously made with love. Every character has a unique playstyle, and the aesthetc is a nice departure from the gloom common to the genre.

The Looker was a funny parody of The Witness. Made me laugh.

[-] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I just love the review of it that states, "if you like The Witness, you'll like The Looker, but if you hated The Witness, you'll love The Looker."

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Apparently the creator of The Witness didn't like it because he's allegedly a pretentious twat.

[-] Taako_Tuesday@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

Doesn't surprise me that he didn't like it. It lampshades how the themes of the original game are not actually as profound as he says they are, while also being way more fun than the majority of the original

[-] RudeGryphon@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

The ending had me rolling. I didn't realize what was going on until just right before the reveal. Great game to check out because you can beat it in a couple hours

[-] evilgiraffe666@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year ago

Do you have to have played the witness to get the jokes, or does it stand alone?

[-] addie@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

It would still be a fun little puzzler, but it's very much a single-note satire, and a lot of it would come off as "lol random" rather than taking the piss out of The Witness. Which is also brilliant, love them both.

[-] RudeGryphon@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I've never played it. So I'd say no. I still thought it was great.

[-] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I pretty much just assume "Free To Play" games are full of microtransactions, is that wrong?

E: to be clear, I don't think microtransactions are an inherently bad thing. In fact, if people want to make games where other people with more money front the costs of development, I'm all about it.

What I hate is being reminded every 5 minutes that it has garbage skins that I can pay IRL money for.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

F2P with microtransactions isn't inherently bad. Legends of Runeterra is that way and is maybe the best-done F2P model I've ever seen.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I know Holocure isn't, but my gut reaction to F2P is to steer clear.

[-] ago@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

True, but there is nothing wrong with that really unless it's a multiplayer game where you get unfair advantages. It's hard to expect a f2p game to not have micro transactions.

[-] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Skyrkazm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Grimm's Hollow. It's free and has 0 micro transactions. Enioy my friend:]

I wouldn't put Path of Exile in that bucket. The cosmetics and stash upgrades are there but they don't push at all.

[-] Acid2688@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They're all way too expensive though. I'd have bought way more if they were lower and enjoyed the game more for it.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

I have like 1000 hours in Warframe and only spent like 20$ on it. Even that wasn't really necessarily. You can farm shit and easily make enough of the in game money for what you need selling it to other players.

This is your hourly reminder that mineclone2 exist.

[-] flathead@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

thanks - to save other cheapskates' time - these are supported on Linux: Handshakes, OpenTTD, Cave Crawler

[-] RegularJoeJoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Much appreciated!

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

I loved Alien Swarm, although it's like just one episode from a big game. It's disheartening it's still like that. This game has a potential, especially for coop gaming. Just no content to flesh it out.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

I remember playing the shit out of Alien Swarm back when it came out over a decade ago. It showed a ton of promise. It's a shame they haven't really fleshed it out since then.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Alien Shooter and Zombie Shooter series are direct inspirations to this Valve's experiment. Idk if they are good on your platform or if they are meant to play together with others, but I liked some of these older entries playing solo. Maybe you'd like them too.

[-] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

There was Reaction Drop which added more content and the Workshop for user made stuff, but even then the extra time it'll buy you is limited.

[-] Landsharkgun@midwest.social 10 points 1 year ago

I'll add Endless Sky in there as well. It's an open-source spiritual successor to EV Nova.

[-] mihnt@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Mushroom Cats is another one. My daughter loves it. Good way to kill 15 minutes.
