Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Lo-Fi Games know you've spent a billion hours with Kenshi, so they're working on making the sequel's discoveries even less predictable (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

I will never understand how to enjoy Kenshi, and I like Caves of Qud

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I love Kenshi and COQ, and Starsector.

Hate Mount&Blade tho lol

Couldn't tell you why

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Opposite situation here, CoQ is boring, hard and you don't know what to do or how not to die every 5 seconds

Also, I don't like the art style

In Kenshi no situation is totally desperate

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Total opposite for me. Could get lost in Kenshi, I watched a review on qud in bought it and was like uhh wtf do I do lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

There is just something about coq that feels bad. I play CDDA, i play elona, i dabble in DF, and i play the heck out of kenshi, but coq just doesn't click. Maybe it's the UI, maybe the game just doesn't feel as deep or as rewarding to explore.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same. I gave Kenshi a try and it didn't click for me. Caves of Qud though, that game is pure unmitigated crack for me. Live and drink, friend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

What state of mind do you have when enjoying coq?

Every time I start I get like 7 levels in and a dungeon deep and it all seems pretty shallow.

Which is a surprise for me because i thought it will be pretty much the opposite. Simple graphics, komplex mechanics.

It has to open up, right? But then why is it rogue-like?

Don't know. Always quit it thinking "this is it?" and than starting again thinking "this can't be it".

From what I've been able to gather, it's basically a sandbox. Imagine if F:NV had no main quest but allowed you to create your own faction. You're just unleashed onto the wasteland to do whatever and let everyone else respond to it.

That is to say, much of the fun comes from building drug running bandit empires.

Or just killing all the big bads, which is basically all but tinfist.
