Everything I have bought from steelseries (two headsets, a keyboard and a mouse, all mostly the top of the line models) have broken within some years through normal use.

Whatever happened to racing games in c/games
[–] bigboismith 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The thing is miss is immersion and progression. It feels like you get a 1000hp lambo five hours into the game, and the gameplay is just driving around a track interrupted by navigating clunky menus.

Some of my favorite indie games are "art of rally" and "revhead", the former having great driving but no progression and the latter having great progression and customisation, just very mediocre driving.

Gran Turismo is Playstation exclusive and has only released two games the last decade. Quite sad since I have heard a lot of great things about it.

Haven't played the crew, but it seems to follow the same "drive a supercar around a track" that Forza has.

Not saying there are no racing games, but there is a lack of variety besides the four flavors of: Microsoft racing game, EA racing game, Ubisoft racing game or Codemasters (Recently acquired by ea) racing game. Compare this to the huge variety in strategy games or shooters.

The only thing keeping racing games relevant for me are the amazing indie games, but the lack of content hinders them more than other genres imo.

How come there are so few racing games coming out lately? Feels like it's just codemasters doing their thing, some struggling indie games and a truckload of shovelware. I'm not saying it's dead but wasn't racing games one of the primary genres?

Another thing that bugs me with the few games that come out is the lack of progression and immersion. NFS Unbound impressed me slightly with actually starting you out with a low spec car and having slow (by modern standards) progression. However halfway through when you have fast and "cool" cars you really felt the games mediocrity.

Dirt rally 1 and 2 has economy systems, but after a single championship you can basically buy whatever car you want. The rallies are immersive but everything between is just boring menues.

Why do you think the state of racing games is so poor? The industry being shit? Audiences not playing them anymore?

My personal theory is that it boils down to how many people it takes to make games (too many to be useful imo). This is probably a sympton of

"hey, what feature can the new guy work on?"

"idfk make him add toenails or something"

It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?

The Paradox DLC model is good (self.unpopularopinion)
 

The games they release are complete in them selves, and with 15-20€ dlces every ~6 months they keep the games fresh with new content.

People rarely complain that features are missing from their games until it gets added in a DLC. Then suddenly it's a mandatory feature.

Album: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lQD48u4oLz_i144bTvoVShDeCcI2hVG3w&si=vbXrogJsBaK_hChZ

What do you guys think of this new album? I would probably qualify it as dark/industrial folk metal for those who haven't heard it yet. I must say it usually takes me a while to warm up to this kind of music but some of these tracks are bangers straight of the bat. Really enjoy the amount of folk in this album, folk metal tends to turn into power metal but with a violin (not that it's necessarily a bad thing). I also like the variety, the tracks are different enough but not completely disconnected from each other. I would like to know what you're guys impressions are, though do note that this genre isn't for everyone.
