Emulators are where it’s at on Android, at least for me. There’s a handful of good native android games but you can play so so many fantastic old games using emulators.
So many, depends on the booted OS and what I feel like or what the kids feel like playing.
Currently doing a mix of Quake 2 single player (100%ed it on nightmare but I keep coming back to it), Half-Life deathmatch (hilarious with the kids as we try to lay out traps for eachother), Reflex Arena, Planetside 2, Age of Empires 2, OpenRA, Fortnite (kids love it so I play along), Ion Fury, Fallout 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Last 3 are story modes, so they take long. Only Ion Fury is linear though, so it’s easier to come back to.
Check out the site dark pattern games, it shows a list of games and their “dark” side like money and time wasters. They also show the “healthy” side of mobile gaming as well
Is that board game multiplayer? I loved StS, I might be able to get my partner into a physical version.
We picked up Lorelei and the Laser Eyes last week and have been slowly working through it. Interestingly styled and it feels a bit abstract so far, but the puzzles are enjoyable to figure out! VERY glad the mc has a photographic(and menu to access) even if the controls could be better
Yes it is! It’s coop which was why I got it. My partner and I got into mtg a bit while visiting her family for the holidays and thought a coop deck builder would be a fun thing to have, and I love sts so it seemed like a no brainer. I will warn the game is quite expensive and sort of hard to find but if you can get your hands on it I highly highly recommend it!
I for instance ordered mine from a game store in Illinois even though I live in WA. I believe more reprints are coming through
Oh, maybe I’ll save it for a birthday gift then 😅 we’ve been playing a bunch of Clank! which is fun but the digital edition is super buggy in pass and play. Thanks for all the info!!
I unlocked the final difficulty in Windblown. However, I’m gonna play the previous one a bit more, to get some more reps, since the stat increase for enemies seems just insane.
Then I played more Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire. While the game is good, it took me a while to get into it. I don’t like getting around with the ship, it’s just super tedious. When you don’t enable enemy scaling, the world is also full of enemies, that are far too strong for you (I did beat some fights, the game said are probably too difficult). Now, after 25h I’m level 10, can do more stuff, and it’s getting more interesting.
Finally, my friend and I continued our Baldur’s Gate 3 coop run, and we just made it to Act 3. Because this is a Dark Urge run, and we are pretty much killing everything, there was a bunch of stuff we couldn’t do in Act 2, so it felt a bit short (except for our month break or something), although we did spend a lot of time in combat.
Czemu kryterium ma być tylko majętność? Jeśli już uzależniać empatyzowanie z tymi, którzy dom stracili od ich grzechów to można kopać głębiej. Skoro bogaty cwaniak może się walić to chyba biedny homofob też.
Czy jeśli taki bogaty Janusz wyzyskujący pracowników i kręcący na podatkach w swojej pazerności przekombinuje kolejny interes i rynkowe spekulacje obrócą się przeciw niemu to po stracie pieniędzy staje się nagle biednym i poszkodowanym człowiekiem godnym współczucia i wykupienie jego jedynej willi jest niemoralne?
Chyba dużo za dużo z tego wyciągnąłeś. To był przykład - jeśli założenie brzmiało, że moralnie jest licytować dom bogatego cwaniaka to wnioskuję, że biednego grzesznika chyba też.
I paused my playthrough of Final Fantasy when Black Ops 6 came out back in October. Next thing I know, it’s January and I’m totally lost when picking up my Final Fantasy save file again. The dancer didn’t share any clues whatsoever.
I often get game choice paralysis, so I have extensively categorized my game library to help with both decision making, but also time management. I use numbers to force my categories to sort in the order I want rather than alphabetically by category name.
Also worth noting I only started doing this after I stopped playing an MMO and reclaimed whatever % of my life.
First is my “currently playing” category. This contains roughly one game from each other category/genre.
A story driven RPG (Witcher 3 at the moment, the Metro series after)
A rhythm game (McOsu, an Osu mod)
An optimization/building game (Shapez 2 but maybe back to factorio soon)
An action rougelike (going back to Hades before Hades 2)
A deck builder (currently MTGA, but my group really wants to ditch WotC)
A puzzle game (probably Blue Prince once it comes out)
A dedicated indie game spot (the Cairn demo)
A few other odd games that I like having quick access to because I like them
There is sort of a secret bonus game to this section, but it also sits outside of this system entirely, because I will ALWAYS go back to it. And that’s the “block game” category. For a long time this was various flavors of modded Minecraft, but I’m so fed up with Microsoft enshitifying my baby that I’ve jumped ship. I’m playing Vintage Story (also heavily modded) and it’s just a better game top to bottom in my opinion.
Then there is an “Interesred” category for games I’ve either been told I should try and also think I might enjoy. I try to keep this small, following roughly a similar “one per genre” as the previous category. I honestly don’t really touch these much, it’s more there for when a spot is freed up in the “currently playing” section. This is also where demos for unreleased games go.
Then there is a “favorite” and “liked” category which largely contain games I’ve played before or are intentionally hyper replayable. This has a lot of my favorite puzzle games, a lot of the various rogue likes with a different game as the core mechanic (think peglin and ballionaire) stuff like that. Basically things to sift through if none of my current games are sparking an interest.
After this is just genre categories used for storage essentially so I can collapse them and not be sick scrolling the whole list.
I have a decent amount of time to game, but also work a very physical job, so I need to be very into a game to prioritize it over sleeping and such.
I’ve stared from Black flag up until Odyssey, then I went back the Ezio Trilogy.
At firt the Ezio games seemed janky and unpolished, but boy was I wrong. The percieved “jankiness” was due to the fact that you have actual control over the character, which can be difficult at first but extremely rewarding later in the game(s), with tombs and catacombs that feel like actual puzzles to traverse, nothing like the “parkour on rails” of ACIV. Unity’s parkour really felt like a step in the right direction, but players complained about it being a broken and rushed game and somehow Ubi understood that they needed to turn AC into The Witcher.
As for the present time story arc I think they really nailed it with Desmond. I love games that take real world history as a base and add a fictional twists to it, and the sense of uncovering an actual, worldwide conspiracy and the origins of humankind itself was there.
I understand they’ve acknowledged the fact that people don’t play AC for the present time story arc, but there was no reason to let it die in irrelevance from ACIII onwards. Layla’s arc might be a slight step towards the right direction, but we’re still far, far away.
This is all to say that yes, I agree with you. This series had (and still has) so much potential, but it was unfortunately hijacked by corporate greed time and time again, straying further from the original concept as time goes on.
I’m currently playing valhalla and plan on tackling ACIII next, and then Mirage.
