I’m curious how competitive Minecraft would work

PlzGivHugs,

Theres a whole plethora of ranked, competitve Minecraft games, ranging from time trial type survival challenges, to parkour, to classics like Survival Games (battle royale) and Spleef. Alternatively, for something more casual, just use a whole variety of minigames.

cordlesslamp,

This.

misericordiae, do games w Gamescom. What did those of us who just watched Opening Night miss on subsequent days?

Not Gamescom-related, but there was a Nintendo Direct that showed off some indie/partner games on the 27th, and a CoD thing today (the 28th), if either of those were what you were thinking of?

Only other thing that comes to mind is maybe the Future Games Show, but that was last week (list of trailers here).

RangerJosie,

I don’t own a switch or play CoD. So probably not.

But I did find out there’s an RGG showcase Sept 20. Can’t wait to find out about the next Yakuza game.

Everything. I remember I wanted to watch some specific showcases and I completely forgot what it was. XD

Arena Shooters. Any Halo, Unreal Tournament, Quake. I don’t even care about it being a prize tournament. I’d just like a lan party.

Just so that we’re playing the game. I don’t want to hear about how you think video games are too sexist/not sexist enough. I just want to shoot a flak cannon into someone’s face.

intensely_human,

Before we play, we’re doing a round table on how Unreal Tournament encourages Unrealistic body expectations and discourages those who aren’t Stronger, Faster, Better.

Voluntary attendance at the round table is mandatory. But it’s a good thing because we’re making the world a better place.

Duamerthrax,

At a lan party? It’s definitely the other group that’s the problem. Hearing the same handful of sexist jokes ever time a woman shows up and they wonder why they never stick around. This is what I actually saw, not a hypothetical.

Zahille7,

It’s been actual decades since I’ve played Halo: CE multiplayer

Duamerthrax,

It’s playable on MCC, but the LAN Party experience is what I miss. Games, Pizza, Energy Drinks into the night. Use to do them monthly though high school. There were also pc lan parties with UT2k4 mainly and eQuake occasionally.

Stellaris, 100%

Niche Sci-Fi game. 100% fun with strangers but to see people play out the battle of a Galaxy competitively playing as their empire meta or not meta would be an absolute blast.

Uplink

A classic from Introversion. It’s a bit older so it’s gotten over the review threshold by now, but I’d wager it’s relatively unknown.

pyr0ball,

Sorry my dude, it’s a classic now. A really really good one!

GaMEChld,

Then I am pleased to be wrong!

we used to hold pong tournaments at uni, using a circuit-accurate simulator of the original hardware and home-made replica paddles. really got the crowds going.

Globulation2 brings a new type of gameplay to RTS games. The player chooses the number of units to assign to various tasks, and the units do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows players to manage more units and focus on strategy rather than on micro-management.

It’s actually quite old and has gone through stretches of inactivity, but appears to be kept in working order in its git repo, and recently has been getting maintenance patches.

milicent_bystandr,

How are you getting upvotes? People like it but haven’t heard of it? I want to upvote… but by the rules of the thread I have down-voted you.

I really like the non-micro-management mechanism of Globulation 2, though I seem to remember it’s a bit awkward sometimes in how it makes combat work.

And balancing upgrades to not run out of food, I’m not so sure about. I want to upgrade my globs! Always! Then they starve!

The last few times I’ve installed it, though, I always get early segfaults, usually before I can finish a game. Hope it can get some dev love.

Krauerking,

Yeah never heard of it and seems like it fit the point of the post so I had to upvote it.

I would imagine that’s exactly the point.

Rags to Riches C64

I found this game a few years ago after playing a remake on Pico-8. The premise is youre an unhoused person who just got out of jail, and you have to collect cans and change, find work, get an education, and a nice job, all while avoiding several hazards like muggers and the IRS.

I found it surprisingly addictive and very fun.

Very cool. I just watched a longplay and have to ask: what does alcohol do for you? I saw the player opt for it a couple of times, but I couldn’t notice a benefit.

If i recall… The alcohol lets you run your hunger to zero without dying.

Makes sense, thanks!

Quake 3 Arena, but only if the tournament lasts no longer than 15 minutes. My heart can’t take more…

If there a hunting simulator where you go after the 1%? Not Hitman though it comes closest I think. That one.
