RightHandOfIkaros, do games w The Game Awards begins 11 hours from now. What are you looking forward to?

The disappointment in my brother’s eyes when Half Life 3 isn’t announced…

… and mine too :(

TheTux,

Fucking REAL.

Like every other year until it or the next thing

RightHandOfIkaros,

Hopium administered

TheTux,

beep beep “WARNING: User DEAD, Imminent”

RightHandOfIkaros,

Truly, lol. He was disappointed because he thought the MegaMan reveal was talking about Gordon Freeman.

TheTux,

Ya, whole show was kind of a let down, TankRat, from the Beginning no less, was the only one that really cought my eye. Oh well, at least Expedition 33 got its due & EVERYTHING ELSE SOMEHOW.

I really should play it already, if even the notoriously AAA subordinate Jeffy K. had to acknowledge those French people’s game so hard.

Just a shame my rig isn’t up to the task. :(

rtxn,

Megaman hasn’t even done anything wrong (yet)… but we HATES IT!

RightHandOfIkaros,

It wasn’t MegaMan Legends, and therefore I do not care. Capcom can stay losing with my wallet.

For anyone anyone who wants a good idea of how fucky Dwarf Fortress is go listen to the Jabroni Mike stream on Boatmurdered. I will spoil nothing.

Remember E stands for Elephant.

TootSweet,

I haven’t seen the one by Jabroni Mike, but Fredrik Knudsen has a good breakdown too.

vaultdweller013,

The Jabroni Mike one was done with Fredrik Knudsen like 4 years ago. Also if you want to watch Fredrick Knudsen do a Mage the Ascension game he does one with some of Bruva Alfabusas crew, also it’s on Bruva Alfabusas channel.

nailbar,

BlindiRL did one too, just recently:

What I wouldn’t give for a sequel to Empire at War

usualsuspect191, do games w If you want to get into handheld gaming, but don't want to spend a lot, buy one of these.

I personally use a PS4 controller with a phone mount. The weight distribution is maybe a bit less comfortable depending on what angle your hold it, but it’s pretty compact and the controller itself is great quality this way.

Like this:

@shems@piefed.social avatar

same setup here! only i’m using a ps5 controller. i actually swapped the clamp for a magsafe car adapter i had lying around, turned out it was the exact same thread size.
the main benefit really is that official controllers (switch pro, xbox, ps, whatever) just feel way better quality-wise. plus you can still use them on pc or the actual console. totally agree on the weight though, you definitely have to adjust the angle depending on how you’re sitting. and yeah it’s technically portable but i wouldn’t pull this out on a train lol, mostly just for the couch at home. and if you already have a controller lying around, the mount is only gonna cost a few bucks, even a used ps4 controller is super cheap.

kratoz29,

Aside from the weight, I don’t know why but I felt my setup was more shaky this way… That’s why the telescopic controller is still my way to go when I want to properly play on mobile.

Personally I’m hoping for

  • Larian’s next game announcement
  • info on Light no Fire
  • anything by fromsoftware
  • a new final fantasy game that isn’t based on ff7
  • the new bioshock game that was rumored for years now
Goretantath,

Same for FF but also no tactical shite either, turn based is fine but the damn chessboard shit was enough during the 3DS era, so many great stories ruined by the gameplay.

Naho_Zako,

I haven’t played the tactics games yet (Ivalice right?) but you just broke my heart. I love tactics games man, and I feel like there’s not a lot of them outside of the Fire Emblem series. I haven’t gotten around to many to be fair though.

SCmSTR,

Sqenix can’t make good games anymore, I am sorry.

brucethemoose,

I suspect Larian will take their sweet time.

Bioshock sounds like it’s in development hell; I’d be suspicious of that.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Larian’s next game is the teased statue that Keighley tweeted, so they’ll have something to announce tonight. The only thing they said it isn’t is Divinity: Original Sin 3, but it could be a different Divinity RPG, or a looter like the old-school Divinities, or a new Dragon Commander, or a new spin-off entirely. They’re also a multi-project studio now.

brucethemoose,

Oh that’s awesome. Yeah, I see the rumors now:

videogameschronicle.com/…/the-mystery-behind-the-…


Selfishly, I hope their other half’a working on a sci fi game. Or a cyberpunk one?

Shadowrun? Gods, that IP would be perfect for Larian.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I’d very much like to see them do a sci-fi setting, like Starfield, but as a turn-based CRPG (with more thought and heart put into it).

brucethemoose,

Yeah, please no Starfield. I love space opera, I love Oblivion and Fallout, jank and all, but the Starfield I got through was so boring.

I’d rather them continue GOTG. I’m not a Marvel person, but the GOTG game was great.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Starfield was undoubtedly inspired by Interstellar and such, which is extremely my style, but even though it had some ideas here and there, the execution was what bothered me, and that’s why I’d like to see Larian’s take on the same kind of setting.

warm, (edited )

Nah, Larian will jump the gun, release too early and have another bug infested game. They need to reduce their scope, actually take their time and make a great RPG. BG3 was too much for them, a smaller more refined experience would have been amazing, they shouldn't chase "bigger is better".

brucethemoose,

BG3 turned out well, though?

warm, (edited )

Ignoring all the problems, sure. You could get through it, but there were lots of bugs and inconsistencies. I played again recently after all the patches and while it was much better, it still had it's fair share of issues. The overall game, lore and story is very good, though I think DOS combat is far superior for a video game than DnD.

I picked up a gamevice a while back and love it. Wish they still made it cause it supports phones with cases.

I have one as well. I like that it has all the inserts for different phone sizes, and it has a headphone jack. I think I should have bought 2.

tehWrapper,
@tehWrapper@lemmy.world avatar

I feel they must of loss a lawsuit or something to just stop making them?

dcooksta26,
@dcooksta26@lemmy.world avatar

They also collaborated to make the original Razer Kishi controller. It’s essentially the same thing minus the headphone jack.

  • brotato - 2d shooter+deck builder
  • mindustry - I recommend this all the time. Open Source, RTS + FactoryBuilder, fantastic game.

Both < 1gb

dil,

Mindustry vs factorio?

wintermute,

The factory building part in Factorio is way way deeper and far more complex. And if you add Space Age, five times so.

Mindustry is mainly a tower defense, and the factory part serves this mechanic.
You still need to mine resources and build stuff and bring the ammo to the turrets using conveyor belts and all that good factory things.
It’s a pretty fun game and you can play it even on mobile.

JakoJakoJako13, do games w Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

You have one of, if not the best starting points for Final Fantasy in the whole series on this system with X. Just play it. There’s no mainline numbered Final Fantasy game that ties together. They’re all separate stories. A few share a common setting with Ivalice, but that’s about it. Hop on X now. I know there’s a PC version, and that’s probably the recommended way to experience that game at this point, but I don’t really care how you start it. If you ever wanna experience Final Fantasy, FFX is the one a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot of people will say start with.

Radiata Stories - a looker even for a PS2 game.

NFL 2K5 - the greatest NFL game ever made.

Jak and Daxter - This console’s Crash Bandicoot.

Rachet and Clank - I actually have the same problem you have with Final Fantasy with this series. Just pick one.

Need For Speed Underground 2 - One of the best arcade racing games ever made.

Burnout 3 Takedown - Same as above except you crash the cars instead of pimp them out.

SSX3 - Some say Tricky is better, I like them both but usually give 3 the edge.

Soul Calibur II - Best Soul Calibur game IMO

Dragonball Z Budokai 3 - Played the shit out of both this and Budokai Tenkaichi 3

I’m not even scratching the surface.

T4V0,
@T4V0@lemmy.pt avatar

Probably the best list imo. I remember picking Radiata Stories up, at random, for my birthday. It blew me away. The story, combat and recruitment mechanic are different from everything else I experienced at the time.

And a few suggestions also:

Def Jam: Fight for NY. Lowkey my favorite fighting game, with 4-players simultaneously beating the crap of each other.

Battle Stadium D.O.N… Fighting/smash bros style game with the biggest jump stars at the time (Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto).

Dokapon Kingdom. Board/rpg game with a lot of fun mechanics.

scops,

Fuck yes, Fight for NY was amazing. I love the idea of a fighting game where you have to end the fight, not just knock the other guy’s health bar down to zero so he falls over. So satisfying to put your opponent down with a haymaker or chucking him in front of a subway train

@dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world avatar

Re: Final Fantasy games not tying together or having continuities.

Yes. Except, ironically, specifically Final Fantasy X, which had a direct sequel in X-2. Final Fantasy XIII also managed to have a direct sequel in Lightning Returns. Thankfully, if you care to think of it that way, it was crap and can be safely ignored.

Anyway, have an upvote for not blithely suggesting that everyone start with VII.

Davel23,

XIII had two sequels, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns.

JakoJakoJako13,

Yes and they’re all neatly contained in their numbered entry which is why I say no mainline numbered games tie together. And all the 2s are optional IMO. Especially X-2, which always seemed like a cash grab to capitalize off of X’s success to me. As much as I love, love, love X, I’ve never touched X-2 and probably never will.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Can’t believe I left Soul Calibur II off of my own recommendations, perhaps because most of us thought of that as a Gamecube game.

JakoJakoJako13,

XBOX version was the best to me but I loved that game so much I owned all three copies at once.

burntbacon,

Link special character was best special character… because… it was a great meming time when people realized there were what appeared to be the silhouette of his tower and bases visible during certain moves.

Lost_My_Mind,

That’s the thing. PS2 at one time was the best selling system of all time. I forget if that record still holds up. I know the DS oversold it, but thats not a tv console.

Point is, with any console that had that big of an impact on gaming, it’s going to have a ton of bangers that still hold up 20+ years later.

And boy howdy if that ain’t true!

I’m honestly surprised there aren’t independant projects releasing new PS2 games today, in the same way you see occasional new releases for NES and Game Boy Color.

afaix,

Jak and Daxter are better played via OpenGoal - a modern open source engine implementation that runs natively on Steam Deck and includes fixes, graphics improvements, proper widescreen, etc.

JakoJakoJako13,

Nice! I’ll have to check that out.

Voroxpete,

+1 for Burnout 3. That’s a series that desparately needs a new entry.

BurgerBaron,
@BurgerBaron@piefed.social avatar

NFS Underground 1 is better than the sequel IMO. The open world is empty and tedious filler vs just loading directly into the tracks.

Best NFS on the PS2 is Hot Pursuit 2 however. Made by Black Box, it’s vastly superior in every way to the other console versions and the PC version made by a different company despite sharing assets.

Oisteink,

Loved the pc version. With force feedback wheel

martinshpihe,

Great list! I totally agree with FFX being a fantastic starting point for the Final Fantasy series. It’s such a solid entry that so many people love. Also, Jak and Daxter and NFS Underground 2 are classics!

I also wanted to throw in a game I recently came across called Naruto Senki. It’s a fun Naruto-themed mobile game where you can engage in 3v3 battles with characters from the anime. It’s not as big as the others on your list, but it’s definitely a great choice if you're a fan of Naruto and want something casual and action-packed. Thought it’d be worth mentioning if you’re looking for something new to try from here !
