There seems to be several difficulties, though the motorcycle section seems to still be simple. That commenter down below showed a demonstration by flats on this section, who cleared it on the 2nd highest difficulty by doing nothing, though he did die once.
I figured this would be notable enough to show here.
DSP showed that no player input is needed to complete Wolverine’s first motorcycle section. Considering he’s the sort of guy this level of difficulty is made for, even he’s baffled that he didn’t need to do anything to clear the section.
The people who say the game is far too easy may have a point.
Ah, but what you miss is that the game would be far too hard for DSP to complete otherwise. There will be no complaints of I PRESSED IT AND IT DIDN’T COUNT WHAT A STOOPID GAME and WHAAAT THE GAME DIDN’T TELL ME THAT.
Edit: Here is evidence that the game is way too hard. It tricks players into jumping off a cliff. However, DSP does appreciate that the motorcycle segment can complete itself with ease.
I’d say so. The story is pretty good, and you can use console commands to give you whatever resources you want. You can play the game as the biggest gacha megawhale that ever existed at the low cost of free.
The gameplay also requires some tactical thinking in the later stages. For example, if there’s an enemy unit that constantly heals itself to full, you can drop a unit that specializes in healing reflux (Awakened Seo Yoon - any healing causes equivalent damage instead). One of the Awakened characters - Replacer King - has a mechanic I very much enjoy where he resurrects your units as zombies when they die, and he gets an upgrade to his punches (he can then punch across the map) when he performs a resurrection.
I played it until July 2023, so I can only speak until then.
The setting is like SCP Foundation, except the latest big containment breach (which happened a few decades before the main story) is being managed, but was never really stopped. There are competing factions who try to offer their own solutions for fixing the SCP Foundation’s titanic fuck-up. My absolute favorite story in this game is the two side stories focused on the Horizon character - basically a story about an unstoppable terminator who wants to personally give a dude who screwed her and her friends over a horrible death.
The gameplay is a line battler. You control when and where your units spawn in, and you control when they launch their ultimates, but things otherwise are left to the AI.
There’s a dupe system and a very punishing gear system, but since there are console commands, those aren’t so bad anymore. You can just grab what you want and get to work.
The Stop Killing Games folks will love this.
CounterSide is a gacha game. It died on August 26th this year. However, some modders have provided infrastructure to host your own local server, so it can still be played.
You can also use console commands to give yourself however many gacha pulls, other currency, or gear you want. The story is fully playable, so the game can be treated like a single player RPG.
Some of the gamemodes don’t work right (I hear Dive is broken), but the important stuff like the main story, side stories, and combat work fine.
The infrastructure that handles launching the server is here, though you will need to grab the assets (which the infrastructure calls a frozen client) elsewhere. The non-Steam variant seems to work best, though YMMV.
“In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That’s all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place.”
Ah yes, of course! AI characters must be voiced by AI, or you’ll hurt ChatGPT’s feelings. You don’t want to make ChatGPT cry!
I’ve been looking for something that can prepare hydrofluoric acid from fluorite and sulfuric acid for some time, and I’ve finally found such a game.
The idea of the game is to collect every element on the periodic table to repair your ship. Compounds with several elements won’t work - only compounds that consist of a particular element are eligible.
And how do you do that? You have to react things with each other to make new compounds. And/or you use heat to do it. Or, you use electrolysis to separate elements (I like the electrolysis reaction where salt is separated into sodium and chlorine gas). Or you use your particle accelerator gun to make synthetic elements.
There are a bunch of reactions missing (you can’t mix pure sodium and fluorine to get NaF on the spot), but there are enough to get all the elements. I had a fun time with it.
A self-absorbed streamer who sucks at every game he plays. Nearly all of the “This is how you don’t play” compilations are about him. The TIHYDP videos of his MGS playthroughs are particularly famous.
