FlihpFlorp, do games w This new game Jump Ship looks interesting

Yeah I was playing with my buddies and it was really fun piloting and our duct tape ship

Edit oressed send too early: but yeah we were tying to get into the closed betas with no luck

Dog fighting could be improved but I’m assuming that’s cus we only have access to the starter ship. You can dodge snipers if you ascend or descend then go in the opposite way while rolling, and the lock on if they’re infront of you if you roll and boost past them so they go over you, then boost forward the outrun then

_hovi_,

Oh nice, demo holds up then?

FlihpFlorp,

From what we’ve played yeah. It’s got a few problems here and there but that’s why it’s a beta

_hovi_,

Nice, excited to try it

msage, (edited ) do games w What games are just objective masterpieces?

Games I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

  • Fez - cute little 2D/3D platformer. It’s amazing and very wholesome
  • Stalker: Shadow of Chenrobyl - dunno what exactly is it, perhaps the settings and the grit, but it has a special place in my heart. It’s about average FPS, but not too long and for me enjoyable
  • F.E.A.R. - very good FPS, with amazingly scripted enemies, decent horror elements (not compulsory - you might miss some of them if you’re not looking).
  • Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - for me the best 3rd person action adventure ever. Best combat hands down (or head, or torso, you choose), streamlined blade dance at your fingertips. You play with your enemies, and you get many tools. There are some locked camera issues.
  • Touhou: Lost branch of time - If you liked Slay the Spire, but wished for colorful mana, this is the game for you. It has anime artstyle, I usually focus on the cards, though it might turn some people off
  • Dota 2 - Dunno if it was mentioned and I didn’t see, but the mechanics are absolutely amazing, the things the game lets you get away with are incredible. 10/10, but other people might bring your experience down. Specially friends. Can play against custom (workshop) bots. Still takes too long to git gud. I studied the game for 10 years and still sucked.
  • Divinity 2: Original Sin - also haven’t seen a mention, everybody talks about BG3, I haven’t yet played it, but D2:OS was also a masterpiece. Haven’t played a lot of TRPGs, this was a blast, with easily set up multiplayer. Played through it twice completely, with many abandoned runs.
  • CS 1.6 - remember that? I lost my childhood to that. They don’t make counter strikes this good anymore.
  • Synthetik - top-down rougelike shooter, with amazing weapons and physics and classes and enemies and mechanics and 2 person multiplayer
  • Dwarf Fortress - the real objectively best game :D strategy simulation of the 3D box world, predecesor to both Minecraft and Terraria, but with A LOT more sand in your box. They are still extending it. And it’s on Steam if you want a UI.
  • Terraria (Calamity mod) - Terraria is obviously a great game, but what makes it 20/10 is the mods. Calamity specifically. Tripple the content, 5x the difficulty (20x if you try Infernum), amazing multiplayer experience. Don’t install Infernum if you haven’t beaten at least Revengeance on Calamity. Trust me, it will fuck you up.
  • Yakuza 0 - how could I forget about this masterpiece? Story done absolutely right, that game had no business making me feel so strongly about it. Cool combat, very funny moments, but I cried during it. If you haven’t tried it, check it out. You won’t regret it.
  • OpenTTD - Trains. Do you like to create and manage big rail systems? This is for you. And your friends. Only noobs use planes. Only psychos use boats. Nobody uses only vehicles.

I love STALKER with all my heart, and if we’re talking atmosphere and vibes and even world building it is up there. But it does not really belong in the objective masterpiece category. Flawed masterpiece, maybe.

Also I think Call of Pripyat is the better STALKER game, but it might be controversial.

msage,

Yeah, but it still popped into my mind sooner than other games, dunno why,

Redacted,

Good taste

mutat0,

I love that you included 1.6. I spent my all teenage years staying up all night playing this. I was thinking single player epics but this is absolutely a masterpiece.

msage,

Yeah, me too… man, I would play 16+ hours on some weekends… I was kinda good, too. Too young, but godly reflexes. I still think about those days sometimes…

mutat0,

I’ll sit and watch old matches from of semi finals from 2004. Every round. I can’t get enough of the strategy and presicion. I’m so grateful for the memories and friends but also sad because, how do you replicate an era like that? A game that perfect? ESEA, HLTV demos, frag movies, forums. It was the best man.

msage,

Send me links of what you’re watching, I wanna watch too :D

I remember those frag compilations vids, those were so badass.

You can’t replicate that era, you have to keep the memories alive inside you, and perhaps try to improve some other communities.

I plan on helping/sponsoring some minor leagues just for the fun, find a game and try to make some magic happen.

mutat0, (edited )

This is just prime CS. The best in the world meeting at peak 1.6.

youtu.be/t94C50ZPiiw

Just a fun one.

msage,

Man, I miss those times.

My favourite kill vid I go back to is www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnnY9e_7XZw

I should just host some CS1.6 servers and hope some people start playing.

emb, do games w Any interesting new (2024+ launch) browser games / web-based games?

Not exactly games I guess, but neal.fun always has neat stuff. I think some of them are relatively recent.

Already on my wishlist apparently, I remember seeing some early gameplay footage and being sold on multiplayer combat with a ship that seems to act like a mobile base.

_hovi_,

Yeah seems really cool

I only play AAA games on GeForce Now (cloud). If the game can’t run on my Linux system or on the cloud, I ain’t touching it. Also, there are so many wonderful games that do not require a colonoscopy into your personal data to be played.

A government that cares for is people would ban this shit and procecute any company trying to find ways around it.

Gerudo, do gaming w If you hear Latin, you're in trouble.

I don’t necessarily hate dual bars. What I do hate is burning all my ultimates or potions or whatever to take that last chunk of health off to secure the kill. Realizing I now have to kill the boss again yet without those extras, is what kills me.

On one side of the ring, greedy corps which want to profile you better than the NSA does. On the other, drama-hungry and social networks-fueled outrage culture.

That’s how an old game giveaway backfires and becomes the scandal of the day.

Finally installed Doom 2016. It’s nice, but the gameplay is not clicking with me.

sandflavoured,

I prefer the way Doom 2016 looks and sounds, but Eternal is the more fun game I think.

I love games where the loop just goes shoot the other guy and not be shot yourself. (Also punch when they glow) (also saw when no ammo)

Now that you put it like that, I think what puts me off is all the melee and glory kills. Not my cup of tea. I need my social distancing from hellspawn. That, and the puny amounts of ammo. When I play a boomer shooter, I want to shoot. If I wanted melee, I’d play Mortal Kombat or something.

moody,

The lack of ammo is solved with the chainsaw. That’s why they give you puny zombies in every battle. They’re easy to kill for a little health, and it only takes one charge of the chainsaw to fill up on ammo.

Doom rewards you for playing aggressively, much more so that the OG game did. They want you to get right up into the thick of it, not corner peek with your shotgun.

Definitely fair if that’s not your type of game though. It’s plays quite different from the original.

solsangraal, (edited ) do games w What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.

the game’s store page doesn’t mention that it requires root access, like it does for some other games. am i missing something?

edit: the words “root” and “level” (ctrl+f’d each one separately) don’t appear anywhere in the EULA. “access” shows up in a couple spots that definitely are NOT talking about root level access. i’m all about outrage over enshittification, but so far this sounds like bullshit

lath,

Maybe it’s hidden in the in-game eula and they’re using their launcher to collect all that info before we even get to agree or disagree.

I’m playing Oblivion Remaster. I never played it before, so I don’t have any nostalgia for it. But, its the first Bethesda game I’ve tried that has actually grabbed me. It’s just super charming and immersive to me. All I have left for my current character is the main quest and the Shivering Isles. I didn’t do all the guilds or explore everything - I’m saving some stuff to do on my next character that I’m already planning.

That. The content of the screenshot you posted. That is what’s going on.
