Unturned was where i spent so many of my hours growing up just because all the small maps ran okayish on my shitty laptop

supersquirrel,

Unturned is still in development too which is pretty cool, I think it occupies a unique niche!

weissbinder,

Mindustry is great and will keep you occupied for a long time

It kind of makes me wish we got some sort of “Dungeon Master” tools to make our own campaigns, but then again, at that point just run D&D with some friends i suppose.

There is a DM mode in BG3! www.ign.com/wikis/baldurs-gate-3/Custom_Mode

snooggums,

That isn’t DM mode, it is a very nice set of customization optimizations.

In Neverwinter Nights there was a DM mode that let one player be the DM instead of one of the characters. They could drop in creatures and objects and control them in real time, which was awesome! That is what I was hoping they would be adding, something where we could basically play DnD in the world maps of BG3, but with on the fly encounters and pacing instead of being preset.

yermaw,

I want this dynamic, in VR. Players with headsets on while a DM makes the world on the PC.

We can live how Knightmare looked like it felt

Best suggestion in this thread! Trackmania Forever slapped when I had a low powered machine.

Danitos,

Saaaame. And the online lobbies were such a blast. Good music, people somehow with colorful names, encouraging chat, 0 toxicity and random but good tracks.

Shovel is the best. She just wants to fuck shit up and every Dark Urge playthrough I encourage her to be herself.

I still dont know the name of a c64 game i played a lot as a kid. You had to move some kind of flying submarine through a maze and if you touch the wall you die. The first few screens you had to fly downwards.

ZeroGravitas,

Is it Snare by any chance?

polle,

Sadly not :(

@elephantium@lemmy.world avatar

This sounds familiar, but I can’t find anything about it online! The controls were mostly just up and down, right?

polle,

It started going downwards, but then also going left and right. It was some kind of maze. When iam back at my parents iam going to look for the disk boxes.

There was a fantasy point and click adventure on the school PCs about two lost goblin or gnome children. I think it was some sort of learning game released during the 90s. The only things that I clearly remember are a mini game about getting red and yellow llamas across a bridge with a passing point, and a labyrinth where you had to solve riddles. Never figured out what it was.

At some point at some friend’s place I played a slightly GTA-ish game but it was all 3D stick figures and just running from the police and shooting thr stick men with guns.

Haaveilija,

I think what I am looking for is a third-person shooter. Thanks for the tip anyway!

There is a way to play privately with only your friends, although unofficial, not supported by Rockstar and only on PC. It’s a little program call ‘RDO Lobby Manager’ and it modifies your game in a way, that you get put on your own server. Your friends need the same program.

I was telling my friend about that last night but i couldn’t remember what it was called. Thanks! This will be great for us to have our fishing/hunting game. Do you know if it still allows bounty hunts and stuff? I know it mentions no Multiplayer Gamemodes but i don’t know if those are covered under that

NecroticEuphoria,

It should work. I was doing a lot of trade and moonshine runs

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks! I set it up today and me and my friend played some, it works flawlessly. Honestly works better than playing on the official servers (something i can’t help but suspect is due to griefers). My horse actually comes when i call for it, Animals arent dropping from the sky, and i’m not being teleported into a wagon wrapped in a blanket of gators and then blown up.

Seriously, this is awesome. Thanks so much for this

_Lory98_, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November December 21st

I got to chapter 12 of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and can’t be bothered to finish it. I really don’t like how so much of the game feels like padding. There are parts that flow naturally, but they get interrupted by long wastes of time that usually force you to play really bad minigames. At some point the dungeons too started to feel samey. The open world is also Ubisoft-level bad, so I’ve been ignoring it.

The story also feels like a downgrade from the original version in some ways. I though some sequences had less impact (specifically Dyne’s story and Red’s trial. Shinra Mansion too I thought was ruined).

I’m not really a fan of remakes in general. I think they are usually unnecessary and a wasted opportunity to do something new, and it bothers me how they often try to “erase” the original’s gameplay. This one in particular feels like an excuse to sell a single game split in three parts. I doubt I’ll be playing the third one.

I’ve been trying The Last Remnant. Its gameplay is kinda weird and unique, although a bit too opaque. Not sure if it’s good, but it’s at least interesting.

Poopfeast420,

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

I did finish the game, but it was a complete slog at the end. It was mainly because I still really like the characters and had invested too much time into the two games at that point, so I have to see this trilogy through to the end.

Like you said, there’s just soooo much padding, and I’d even say the world is much worse than Ubisoft stuff. It’s just empty, except for the same five copy & paste “events” in every zone.

Something must be wrong with me though, since I’ve actually been thinking about replaying the game lately. Dunno why, but the thought just keeps creeping into my brain every now and then.

I’ve been wanting to play this game for a while. But I think in order to have the best experience, you probably need to get a group together that is willing to play at the same time as you

. I convinced a friend to play a bit(like 4 hours) with me years ago and I thought it was fun! But I don’t think he enjoyed the slower grind of the experience and he dropped off.

_Lory98_,

I found that there’s a free login campaign now, so I’m trying it out. If we were in the same time zone and I was sure I’d continue playing, I’d offer to join you.

wuffah, do gaming w Is there a trick to controllers that I'm missing?

Controllers are inherently an inferior control device to mouse and keyboard, especially for shooters.

Except for driving.
Keyboard sucks in that disclipline.

C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq,

And in that circumstance, controllers are inferior to wheel and pedals.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

But more versatile and in direct comparison cheaper.
Same as with keyboards in other disciplines ;)

C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq,

Yeah, that’s true. It’s definitely a specialised piece of kit.
