i want my narrative game to control like a 1998 flight simulator

Piloting Harry now requires you to use the Steel Battalion controller.

Legit with all the voices in his head it certainly feels like he controls himself with this controller

that could be a good interface for showing neurotypical people what it's like to struggle

I played Senua's saga, ten minutes and an online post later clarifying the voices never go away and you can't stop them and I ain't touched that game again

My condolences to people suffering from schizophrenia (cause that would make me the angriest person in the world) but I ain't playing that game again (unless schizophrenia doesn't count as neurodivergence but something else)

i picked the friendly dialogue option but oh shit i forgot to ctrl+e+2 to do relaxed eyebrows and alt+t+1 for casual intonation, now the character thinks i was being condescending and they hate me

timmy-pray

I know you're joking, but I wish the sim style games had more narrative elements, like the old Tie Fighter game.

man TIE Fighter is goated, they never quite hit that magic again

It was definitely the high water mark for Star Wars flight games. It had so much cool shit: a bonus campaign with Thrawn, secret objectives that creepy Sith guys give you, the medals (and creepy Sith tattoos) you get as you achieve in missions, the experience of working your way up from the shittiest ship in universe to some powerful ships.

I keep wanting to play Star Wars Squadrons, but it's definitely not the same at all lmao

I played it, and like its okay at best, but I will say that TIE Fighters/Interceptors/Bombers taking a couple seconds of blaster fire and keep on trucking like nothing happened is very jarring. Not to mention one of 5 ships in your squadron is dedicated to making sure you have effectively infinite ammo for your missile/torpedo ordnance is also a decision in game design.

The game is fine and all, but it really does feel like it was designed for the pvp multiplayer than the campaign.

I've made a few attempts at the campaign, but this is what makes me meh out about it. The character customization seems fun, but I'm not about to play a dead online game to be able to play with it lol

A game where the disco elysium skills are using control panels Inside Out style would rip tbh
