Favourite FPS Campaign in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

DOOM Eternal is pretty damn close to perfection. The only thing that keeps it from 10/10 for me is the length of the missions, especially on harder difficulties. I feel absolutely exhausted after just one level.

Then again, maybe I'm just old.

What does "legitimate interest" mean in cookie settings? (lemmy.world)
 

When going through the cookie settings for a website or an app, some of the cookies are marked as "legitimate interest". What exactly does that mean?

Looking for Overwatch alternatives in c/games@lemmy.world

Yeah, it does look promising but knowing Valve time it'll release sometime in the 2030s.

Looking for Overwatch alternatives (lemmy.world)
 

TL;DR: Any recommendations for a game like Overwatch that actually functions? XDefiant was promising, but it doesn't have "roles" that don't require shooting, so my friend got frustrated.

As it turns out, it is actually possible to make friends as an adult. Who knew?

She likes MOBAs and such, and I mostly go for shooters so Overwatch was an obvious choice.

The gameplay is fun, and it gives us both something we enjoy, but there are some glaring issues that are best described by just describing my own experience in the game.

First off, the game requires you to win 50 matches in quick play before you're allowed in ranked. With both of us working full-time, having spouses and whatnot, and dealing with 3 random teammates, that took forever.

I finally got to ranked, she already had a rank. The game "predicted" my rank to be basically the same as hers. Even so, all that's available are "wide matches". Average wait time is between 20-30 minutes.

So we started a co-op campaign in Baldur's Gate 3.

We still would like to find a competitive game to play together, so basically a functional Overwatch.

And that brings us here. Any ideas?

I hate these headlines. Fucking Half Life 3 could be announced.

I have heard similar complaints about performance from my friends, and I have solved most of them by simply suggesting they check their fans. Not just case fans, but the GPU/CPU, too. Check that they're actually spinning and getting adequate airflow. Unplug and then vacuum them. You'd be surprised how much of a difference that can make.

The really fun bit is that the US doesn't need more room to house people. There are more vacant apartments than there are homeless people as is, but nobody can pay the rents.

The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion in c/games@lemmy.world

Finally got around to playing F.E.A.R. 1 & 2, now going through the DLC for 1, having a great time despite it definitely showing its age with some design choices, like the mandatory valve puzzles of early 2000's. I'm so glad I bought the RTX 4080 though, definitely getting my money's worth.

Announcing a new look and vision for EA's Frostbite engine in c/games@lemmy.world

Nah, I don't think anything has made bigger strides towards justifying piracy than EA. Credit where credit's due and all that.

If you're into silly B-splatters, the Hatchet trilogy is great.
