  Not an expert, but as far as I know, you nearly never see a true single picture, but always a combined one. So they take multiple slightly overlapping pictures who are seeing the hidden middle spot of other pictures.

  I would also advise to go with magic, since you can generate your own spells here, which is really fun. And you will have a high Lore stat, which will help you experience more lore background of this fantastic works.

  You are right, but Bloodlines 2 is a bad example. I only heard bad things about that game prerelease, more advertisement would not have convinced me to buy it. And the fans were rather taken aback by the changes to gameplay, namely focus on action and removal of RPG elements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA says 98% of Battlefield 6 matches have been cheater free thanks to tough security⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That and also: there are still cheaters, even after all that crap? That means those cheats still working are just not yet well known and distributed enough, which is simply a matter of time then?

  Well good thing those players gave EA kernel level access or it could happen they play against cheaters… Oh wait.

  Not exactly, sorry. But from what I remember about the story, it was probably said after the time skip, which happens in the 60’s chapters.

  At least in my email it said it takes roughly 20-25 minutes, which fit for me.

  Not all. I like to joke about “GabeN our saviour” as well, but those who earnestly say that: yeah, that is not healthy.

  I liked that one, such an easy way to throw out everybody not paying attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG survey: "My thoughts about games are connected to GOG, especially when it happens automatically."⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me the "GOG is part of me as a person"was the weirdest one. That just felt icky. You are a company, stop trying to be more than that. I like you for your DRM free stance, but everything more is not healthy.

  Polish company.

  The repetition was also in there for a few questions.

  Great post!

  Do you recommend playing the first game first or is it better to immediately start with the second game and play the first one, if you want to have more?

  The number was reassigned because Bond was not in the MI6 at that time, yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, why is it so hyped?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I found, it’s possible to play it on Linux through Wine, so not totally windows exclusive. How well it works depends probably on how willing you are to tinker, as always in such cases.

  Could be from somebody who is blocked by you or your instance. You could try opening the post from another Lemmy server and try to see it then.

  Wait, you could write on the map? Sure that was in Thief1&2? I can’t remember anything like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thief 1 & 2, the grandfather of the stealth genre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the biggest problem in my opinion is that they don’t commit to stealth, because they think the fan base is too small. So everything has to be solvable by violence as well. Which in turn leads to a worse experience than if they focused fully on that.

  Which is why I’m so surprised that the indie Retro wave hasn’t yet created something like Thief with a new story/world. Should be easier nowadays with game engines and editors and I think there is no real competition there yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thief 1 & 2, the grandfather of the stealth genre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yes, that level is still in my memories after more than a decade. And for good reason. I will make a post about Thief 3 in the future if nobody else does it first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨similar to the word of mouth post, what game did you not expect much from but loved it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Funnily enough Hollow Knight. I saw the release of the Grimm Troupe DLC on GOG and was interested by the art style. I thought, hey a metroidvania, it’s been a while since I played one. The rest was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had, precisely because I didn’t expect anything.
