I bought Jedi Fallen order and Frostpunk.

Tried Jedi yesterday, man I suck nowadays. Could be it is the xbox controller, first time I tried it, I played shooters with mouse and keyboard in the past.

Frostpunk is a fascinating game, I already put 10+ hours into it.

Two things:


1. The game is optimized to use a console pad/controller. You can play with a mouse and keyboard but it will be more difficult to execute many of the special light saber moves.

2. What difficulty are you playing the game on? This game was made to be very challenging by default and even on "Jedi Knight" difficulty I died a LOT.

PM,

like I said, it`s the first time I`m using the xbox controller in a game, so could be I simply have to get the feel for it. So far, I have difficulties in coordinating the view. And I`m just in the prelude where I have to follow my co-worker.... wounded

Ok, I understand now. smile


I tried a couple of times to use a console controller in the past but I absolutely hated it so even if a game is optimized to use it, I prefer to use a mouse and keyboard.

I got this through the Humble monthly but have never played. Is it appropriate for a child around 10 to play with a parent?

My subscription has helped me find games to play with my daughter that we otherwise would have never heard about.


Hmm... checking the Steam store page it says 17+, but that'd doesn't necessarily mean so. We play Bannerlord together!

Are you referring to Jedi Fallen Order or Frostpunk?

Enjoyed Frostpunk, but it may be a bit too edgy for a 10-year-old. You do have to make some hard decisions on how you will handle people.

I wound up with X4 and Terraria. I’ve been keeping my eye on. X4 since release. It hasn’t been too bad, though the learning curve is a bit much and the menus/interface don’t seem quite...polished?

Terria was just a whim, At $5 I figured I’d take a flyer on it.


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”

Terraria is fun, but my daughter prefers Minecraft. Myself, I find the sidescrolling aspect very appealing--and making houses and towns is strangely fun. I won't spoil the rest, but, let's just say I have had some fun with dynamite...

Usage of the online wiki is essential to make sense of the game and everything you can make.

I just grabbed some ARMA 3 stuff. Global Mobilization and Apex.

I think I'm nearly done now.

The free game next week on Epic is Conan Exiles. I don't usually enjoy 3rd person games but for free,why not?

Thanks!. I jumped into it very briefly, but couldn't quite figure out what I was supposed to do. The wiki will be very useful.

Got the U-2 and Ju-52 for IL2. I own almost every IL2 aircraft now.

Panzer,I'd be nothing but a liability. I suppose you could use me to walk out of cover to see if it's safe duck

You might be surprised how beginner-friendly the Arma group sessions are. Really worth considering, and experiencing in a coop multiplayer setting.
