massive_bereavement, do gaming w ADHD gaming

At my age, I'll pick a game that doesn't require several hours of unfun stuff to get to the fun stuff (endless tutorials, churning, unfun mechanics, git-gud, etc..)

If I want to dedicate lots of times to learn something, I'll pick any of the thousands of half-done projects and abandoned hobbies spread around my home.

  • Super Mario Bros. X is a Mario fan-game remake that uses lots of assets from the SNES era of Mario games (Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario RPG).
  • Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a Sonic fan game made from the Doom engine, inspired by the Sega Genesis era of Sonic games.

They’re both open-source.

OTINOKTYAH,

I like this two but i try to keep it in the pc gaming Side, less the console Side. Mostly because i never Had a console;)

Zahille7,

I mean you can only play them on PC, so I’m not really sure what you’re saying here

OTINOKTYAH,

Sorry it was very unclear. I’ve meant to focus this list on Remakes/source Ports of PC Games mostly. I added a link to a list of console games source Ports at the end of the list.

The real reason I take my meds to be honest

Krudler, do games w I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?

It’s very simple, valve is a gamer company. Epic is a money company. Every single thing each respective company does shows that. I’m not a bitch, I’m never going to let those Epic cunts have a penny of my money. Fucking with the games industry, fucking with gamers, locking exclusives, it’s all bullshit & they can suck my cock

Meanwhile Valve pushing unrelated unregulated gambling to everyone, including children, through their case unboxing system

Counter Strike is a M rated game

MajesticElevator,

Oh so they have no responsibility at all then. Might as well stop checking IDs when people enter casinos or buy alcohol because they’re not supposed to if they’re underaged.

They make a deliberately addictive mechanic that they know ruin peoples’ life, and they also know they have a big young audience, but you think that’s fine? Shame of you, really.

It’s also in TF2 btw

And whatever you say, it’s still exploiting adults. In many countries, like France, casinos are legally obliged to detect addicted people, prevent minors from playing, and let people opt out legally, and never allow them to gamble afterwards. Valve blatantly doesn’t respect this and takes efforts to bypass the law. They got banned in Belgium and France, and used a legal loophole to avoid being banned in France.

You’re acting like a Valve fanboy. Be objective. Apart from that, Valve is an overall good company for the video games industry, but they act like a piece of shit in other places.

Goretantath,

Parents should do their damn job and prevent their kids from playing what they arent supposed to, or teach them right from wrong.

MajesticElevator,

Teens aren’t kids. Gambling is addictive to everyone.

Soggy,

Teens are kids, they’ve just got half a brain and adult hormones mixed in. They still need guidance and supervision.

I mean… Do you support the recent proposal to ban online porn? How about alcohol?

Valve provides a game, an appropriate age rating, a description of the monetization scheme, and a way for users to freely trade items.

If minors transform that into a gambling addiction, it’s certainly a big problem, but I don’t see how that translates into “Steam bad, Epic Games good”

MajesticElevator,

Do you support the recent proposal to ban online porn?

No, but that’s another subject. Not easy to regulate and is not as life threatening as many other things. We all consumed some when minors and it never was a huge deal for most people. Gambling is much worse imo, as it impacts your finance. Gambling is already banned/regulated and Valve is avoiding the current laws.

How about alcohol?

It’s already pretty well restricted for minors. The world would be better without it, but as nicotine, can’t go back now that people are used to it.

but I don’t see how that translates into “Steam bad, Epic Games good”

Never said that.

I talked about this because the original comment said Valve wasn’t here for money. Why do they push gambling then?

Krudler,

Whataboutism makes you look like an idiot

WhatsTheHoldup,

Not OP but your very first sentence was

It’s very simple, valve is a gamer company.

It’s not “whataboutism” to directly respond to your point and try to argue they aren’t a gamer company.

I do agree with you overall though that Epic can suck it.

MajesticElevator,

You’re saying Valve acts for gamers, not for profits. I’m proving you wrong. You’re just entitled and love Valve.

MajesticElevator,

Wrote unrelated instead of unregulated, which changed the meaning of my sentence. Fixed it.

VonReposti, do games w I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?

Having healthy competition is a good thing and I’ve wished for a competitor to Steam for a long time until one day the monkey’s paw curled and we got Epic Game Store. To sum it up:

  • Epic actively tries to introduce exclusivity deals to PC, something that goes very much against the nature of the platform. It is something we’re supposed to be above on PC and let console players deal with. PC gamers simply don’t want fragmentation in the market. We hate all the different shitty launchers publishers are making for the same reason too.
  • Epic has a very hostile attitude towards Linux. Their anti cheat for example by default detects the mere fact of using Linux as a hack. For a long time if their anti cheat was included it was an absolute no go on Linux. Their store also works like crap on Linux, if at all.
  • EGS lacks necessities for then to call themselves a good store like reviews, good support and refund policies, ease of mod support, wishlists, etc.
  • Their UI is just plain bad.

But the main point is the first one. If they bothered making a good store they wouldn’t need to make most of PC gamers angry by introducing exclusivity deals, but they can’t be bothered to do that, so they go for hostile competition instead at the detriment of the customers.

Also chinese conglomerate tencent is the 2nd largest shareholder of epic (35%), after Tim Sweeney at 41%.

ozymandias117,

When they buy publishers, they had them actively remove Linux support, such as Rocket League

Harvey656,

Not to diss you, or take away from your argument, it’s quite a good one.

But I do think EGS has reviews now. They suck but I they have some sort of review system now.

Wrufieotnak,

I couldn’t find reviews. What I did find was a 5 star based rating system which is not the same thing at all. With steam reviews the text is more relevant to me than if they did or did not recommend the game.

Harvey656,

If you scroll below the stars, it has corporate reviews provided by opencritic. Which is what i confused with real reviews.

Honestly, the stars are better than ign and other craptastic critics.

Beside the already mentioned Open Source Game Clones there’s also this list on GitHub.

As for specific titles, I’d like to add:

There’s also WipeOut Phantom Edition but this one isn’t open-source so I’ll just leave it here in case someone wants to check out the existing build.

OTINOKTYAH,

Thanks for the list, but i try to keep it in the PC Side of gaming, mostly i’m more familiar with that. I’ll think about If and how i add these to the list :) Thanks again:)

Essence_of_Meh,
@Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I’ve seen it after writing this. Thankfully, half of these are for PC native games so I didn’t miss completely at least.

OTINOKTYAH,

I added them anyway to Addendum ;)

Man, we’ve really come far since the 90s haven’t we?

You need the right combo of witty bôn mots to defeat the final boss, Maris.

Remember_the_tooth,

You also have to have Donny and Daphne in your party to defeat Maris, but you must sacrifice one to win the battle. The one you sacrifice becomes the next boss. In the end, I think the true final boss should be Frasier himself as his own worst enemy.

ch00f,

I bet they’d do it BattleToads style where you’re fighting Maris from Maris’ perspective.

You get a fair-play Minesweeper-like, such as Hexcells Infinite, which can always be beaten without any guessing.

Check out Dragonsweeper! It’s a dungeoncrawler twist on minesweeper that also has a 100% determinable layout (once you understand the mechanics/behaviors)

osgameclones.com is the best aggregate for this kind of thing.
libregamewiki.org also looks like something relevant.

Maybe now that we have a messy thread of various links, we can go check whether some of them are not yet listed in osgameclones.

Yeah… As much as I love the Doom franchise I cannot in good conscience support anything that Marty Stratton has a hand in. That douchebag screwed over Mick Gordon (the guy that did the banger soundtracks for Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal) big time.

I mean just reading this detailed account of everything that happened makes my bile rise every time.
