Man, I really slept on Days Gone (mini review)

Man, I really slept on Days Gone (mini review) - Lemmy.World

This game is amazing. I’m about halfway through i think, but I need to slow down. I’ve kind of been speed running the story progression just because its so fucking good, and as a result I dont think I’m powerful enough to move on to the 3rd map. I haven’t even fought a horde yet because they scare the fuck out of me. The characters are fantastic. Sam Witwer, who is an absolute underrated gem of a national treasure, in the role of the player character (Deacon St. John) is just brilliant. The mocap, face capture, and performance capture are so well done, you’ll find yourself appreciating the facial animation a great deal especially. The NPCs are varied and feel alive, and frankly most of them piss me off, buncha tryhards and pieces of shit, lol. The dialogue is so good that I feel emotionally invested enough to legitimately hate a lot of these fucks (obligatory FKSKIZZO). Meanwhile there’s other characters you care deeply about, like your bro that you ride with and your absent wife. It really draws you in. The game mechanics are a little different from what you typically see in an action horror. The horde mechanic is what stands out. The game isn’t scary but barreling over a hill on your motorcycle and finding yourself suddenly waist deep in 100 or more (up to 500!) enemies all at once, just surrounded. I haven’t yet learned to fight a horde, but just trying to get away from them while you have their aggro is tense as fuck. They’ll clothesline your ass and knock you right off your bike. Speaking of your bike, it’s some of the most satisfying driving I’ve ever done in a game. I hate driving mechanics in games. I’m terrible at it. I veer all over the place. I can’t stay on the fucking road. But this game, it’s intuitive. It’s manageable. I can stay on the road even! The driving is actually fun. I even skip fast traveling at times just to enjoy riding around on my motorcycle. It’s fantastic. The implementation is just right for me. So anyways, if you skipped Days Gone like I did, as an action horror junkie, I highly recommend it l. The story and characters and voice acting are the highlight, and I just dont have a single complaint about the combat or driving, even the crafting (which I typically hate) is well done. My only complaint would be that the game has allowed me to progress the story before i feel prepared for it, and that’s minor. Plus for all I know maybe I can handle the next chink, I won’t really won’t know til I get there. Great game.

Can you roll extra evade charges on things other than boots?

Can you roll extra evade charges on things other than boots? - Lemmy.World

I can’t reroll anything on my boots, so I’m hoping that I can roll for extra evade charges on something else like a helm or chest piece etc. Does anybody know if that’s possible? I don’t want to spend all the money and resources if it’s not.

I've pretty much stopped caring about the Beeper app.

I want to love the idea of a universal messaging app, but being on a waiting list with tens of thousands of other people for months has killed my excitement for it.

Does anyone else see “1 more reply” fairly often, but when you click it, the one more reply is not revealed?

[D4] How come when you extract an aspect, it's power is sometimes drastically lowered, but other times it's not?

[D4] How come when you extract an aspect, it's power is sometimes drastically lowered, but other times it's not? - Lemmy.world

I’m trying to figure out if there’s a rule of thumb I can follow so as to not waste time saving legendaries I find for their aspects. It seems like sometimes, I find a legendary, and when I extract the aspect, it does not change. For example, I’ll find an item that grants 32% attack speed, and after I extract it, it remains 32% Other times, I’ll find an item with 32% attack speed, and after I extract it, it’s now a disappointing lower 16%. . Is there a rule of thumb I can follow that will tell me if it’s worth taking a found legendary to the occultist? I thought extracted aspects were supposed to stay the same, but apparently not?

I don’t know if this is a problem with the app, a problem with Lenny in general, or if I’m just doing something to fuck things up which is most likely. Quite often, I’ll make a comment on Lemmy somewhere, and then the next time I go to make a comment, the text from my previous comment is already in the box and I have to delete it all to begin a new. Sometimes I get like an error message about it, sometimes I don’t, sometimes it doesn’t happen at all. It’s a little bit unpredictable. Does anyone know if this is a known issue, or if I’m doing something to cause it?

Thanks!

Do you get XP just for completing a nightmare dungeon, aside from killing mobs?

And if you do, what’s best, killing every enemy in the dungeon, or just speed running to the boss?

I don’t have it, and I’m just curious. Do you have to have the imbuments on your skill bar in order for them to apply to rain of arrows, or do you just have to have points in them?

Not Prime Video, rather the videos in item descriptions on the shopping pages. Anyone know a fix?
