I felt the exact same when I got it on the PS4. I think I made it to the second level or whatever and just couldn't be arsed to carry on. Such a slog.

as far as I know Outer Wilds (not Worlds) has missions and story. Void Bastards does have procedural levels, tahts a weird thing to get hung up on tho, you would be dismissing... A LOT of games these days.
I forgot that game even existed.
I'll definitely give it a shake if it does indeed land on GP
Oooh I'd love that! Been having issues finding coop games, hopefully this'll get some more people playing! Love the game.
Been enjoying Tacoma, this sort of setting and plot is right up my alley. Kind of gives off Soma vibes, with less existential horror.
With Void Bastards and Outer Wilds coming up, I can keep in the sci-fi genre for a while.
(Gonna get back to Operencia once I finish a few of the games on my plate too)

AFAIK Void Bastards doesn't have procedurally generated levels. I spoke to one of the devs recently when I demoed the game and they told me that they tried procedural generation but it made the stages worse. Like they sometimes didn't make sense and they decided that actual hand designed stages were the way to go.
I'm not sure if I'm remembering this right but I think it's a library of hand designed stages but the stages that come up in your run are random each time. The stages themselves are designed by the devs.
I'm biggest halo fan there is, and I never did a legendary run for 5. I've done it for every single halo game besides halo wars since I don't like RTS games. But besides the sanghelios levels there not to much fun to be had sadly, it's pretty fun with friends though... online friends that is. The multiplayer is amaaaaaazing though, you remember fat kid? Teacher? All those beloved halo 3 game types are here times 1000. Forge community for 5 is amazing, and war zone is great if you liked things like btb and invasion. And the regular vanilla slayer and breakout are amazing as well, maps are meh, but in that regard you joined at a good time. Basically the MP dwarfs the campaign in terms of content and fun, so if I were you I'd stop playing the campaign because unless you want to know why happens exactly in halo infinite there's not much of a reason to play through it.
Just curious, which games would I be dismissing? I can't say I have ever enjoyed a game with procedurally generated levels. I really don't like it.
Oh OK, cool. Thanks for clarifying. That sounds a lot better. Do you know if there are story elements and missions?
Outer Wilds is all about its story. Maybe not quite to the degree a pure walking Sim would be, but probably not that off either.
Those do seem a bit harsh for requirements, but I can see how someone could get to that point.
One of my good friends has virtually the same three nopes himself. Really has to be something special if it is procedurally generated to interest him. He also claims he 'lacks the creativity' for games that ask you to make your own way. Finally, he'd have to be dragged kicking and screaming to try an MMO or a similarly always online type of game. He's down to try always online games along the lines of Apex though. Just has no patience for MMOs or really anything that requires you leave the game for information.
I'm quite excited by both Void Bastards and Outer Wilds. I love me a good MMO, love games that just let you... wander, or build, or discover things on your own. Procedurally generated content is hit or miss. I feel like it is too broad an aspect for me to just write off simply because it exists in a game, as there are many many other aspects of procedurally generated games that can drastically alter one game from another.
Anybody else having issues with the iOS app? Mine just keeps crashing to the home screen all the time. Tried closing app and restarting phone but no joy. It worked last week. Don't know if there was a recent update or something.
I recently turned on 2 way authentication and had to log in again on the regular app. I think this might cause the issue on the game pass app as I have to log in again, but it's not going to the log in screen. Instead it crashes.

Windows store, pc.......After 100 gb of download (Gears of War 4), total of 133... My download indicate a error and now the system want to restart FROM THE BEGINING! Please, tell me that there is a way no not lose everything that is already downloaded.....
You may want to sit down.
Welcome to the Windows Store. It *might* find the files it downloaded and pick up from there, but probably not.
I loved Tacoma. Downloaded Observer straight afterwards to keep up the momentum.
Good initial impression of the Surge. Like the heavy combat. Anyone have opinions on the depth of the combat? How does it hold up?
It's fairly repetitive but it's fun and impactful. Once you find the right kind of weapon for you, you can rely on that until the end of the game without excessive sweating. A couple late-game enemies will have you reconsider some foolproof tactics but it's fairly straight-forward.
There is a good variety of weapon down the line but the actual combat gets a little repetitive. Mostly mashing attack until the limb chopping icon comes up and then you attack, doing the same animation over and over. After a while of chopping what you need, you tend to just kill them normally just to get it done.
Most of the weapons do fall into a few categories, mainly speed based, so find what suits your combat style and work on upgrading that.
Thanks! I don't mind repetition if it's fun. Appreciate the feedback.
I'm really looking forward to Void Bastards. From everything i've seen of it - it looks right up my alley.
Fuuuuuuck, that's good.
Metal Gear Survive is something I always wanted to try out for cheap, happy it's coming tomorrow already. Very curious about Void Bastards too, looks very stylish and fun. Great to see Outer Wilds finally available too, although like many I own it "for free" thanks to the MixPot a while ago. Full Metal Furies is the spiritual successor to one of my all-time favourite indies, Rogue Legacy, and since I yet have to play it I'm very happy about its inclusion. I already own The Banner Saga 1 and 2 (fun but not my genre), Dead By Daylight (was a dumpster fire when it came out, haven't played since) and SUPERHOT (one of the most memorable games this generation, absolutely amazing).
Amazing drops. And given how the "countdown" ends just days before E3, there's no doubt in my mind E3 will have a couple megatons. If these are the "regular" games, looking forward to the megatons. Betting on at least 1 triple-A from 2019. Far Cry? Metro Exodus? Devil May Cry 5? Who knows?

Nothing much there I care for sadly. Banner Saga 3 would be great however, if that came (surely inevitable).
Always found it weird that they gave out Banner Saga 2 with Gold but never the first, so I never bothered with it. Looking forward to being able to go through it now. Good stuff.
I suck at Banner Saga. Just not great at those types of games, but I really liked the story in the first one, so maybe I'll try out BS2. The only other game I'm really looking forward to on that list is Outer Wilds, but I got that as a free drop from Mixer last E3, so pretty much nothing here for me. Everyone should play Superhot though. It's incredible and only a couple hours long.
Full Metal Furies is really fucking good, get on it people. Deserves a lot of love, even playing solo.
(Some puzzles are v hard though...)

I just got a popup while playing RDR2 that said Outer Wilds was ready to play. It made me update the title and now im just stuck in the store even though it gives me the "play" option. Every time I hit play, it just reloads the store. Is it available for anyone?
I already had it in my games library as owned from a mixer giveaway long ago.
edit - never mind, a bit of research shows me it releases on the 30th. that was odd that I got a popup telling me it was ready to play.

So since I have no friends I should probably avoid?
Looks kinda cool. Will probably be the one game I try from this drop as long it's enhanced.
Working on Shadow of the TR and Crackdown 3 rn. So much shooting stuff.
