Miphera, do games w What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

A lot of people will disagree, but I loved Star Fox Adventures. It was easily my favorite Star Fox game.

3D Rayman games, the only one I played was Rayman 2, so that’s all I can go off of.

BIONICLE, the game to the movie was a bit janky, but so much fun!

Pokémon Rumble: I remember only liking the first one (didn’t play the second), and really disliking Rumble U. There’s a mobile game now apparently, but…no thanks.

A very obscure one: Onslaught, from the Wii Shop. A first person sci-fi shooter with Wii motion controls, playing on an alien planet with giant bug creatures. Quite reminiscent of Helldivers or Starship Troopers.

Asura’s Wrath: I think a remake would be nice, not sure if there’s much space for a sequel, the ending fit quite nicely.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: I’m gonna count this as its own franchise separate from the other Xenoblade games, and a remaster, remake or sequel would be amazing.

Bonus: Borderlands 2 had a good setup for a sequel, an incredible villain and such great characters. I’d love to see where they’d take their stories, like Maya & Krieg. Should be about time for Borderlands 3, I’m sure it’d be great! (FUCK WHYYYYY)

iamthewalrus,

Haven’t played it, but wasn’t there a Borderlands 3 a few years ago?

Miphera,

Yeah, that last one was sarcastic. They kinda fucked up the story, writing and characters. Villains were ass, writing for most beloved characters was basically a character assassination, Maya & Krieg never even met again, just everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.

Gameplay was great, but I hated everything else so much that I uninstalled after 5h (with close to a thousand hours spread across the rest of the franchise).

iamthewalrus,

Ah, shame. Is it still worth a shot for someone who’s coming in fresh? I haven’t played any of the games in this series but to enjoy a good shooter.

Miphera,

There’s so much content, even if you don’t play BL3, you’ll have a lot of fun! BL1 and BL2 have a GOTY edition with all the DLC (from memory, between 4 and 6 story DLCs per game, BL2 also has 2 additional characters and a sort of max lvl / extra difficulty mode), and are super cheap at this point. Do wait for a sale if possible, BL1 GOTY Enhanced is frequently 67% off ($10), and BL2 GOTY 80% off ($9)

There’s also The Pre-Sequel, which came out after BL2 and plays between BL1 and BL2. Gameplay is like BL2 with some additions, but it’s not as good as BL2. Still worth playing imo, but the community is split on it. If you play it, even though it plays between BL1 and BL2, it’s intended to be played after BL2.

A lot of the more interesting things regarding character builds & weapons happens in NG+ and NG++, you can spend ages just replaying it and farming bosses & chests in the endgame, and the coop is also really nice (but not at all required). I definitely recommend starting with the first one, and if you do, I think Lilith has by far the most interesting gameplay. In BL2, I think almost every character has fun gameplay, just Axton feels a bit boring to me personally.

To me, Ctrl Alt Ego is not well known enough. It is an immersive sim in the style of Prey. You play as a robot roaming a station, where your Ego (like a spirit) can pass into and control all sorts of objects to solve puzzles, evade, control or kill enemies. The graphics aren’t impressive (it was made by a 2-person team) but the gameplay is so interesting and the story is surprisingly compelling and funny!

This one is really fun and very underrated indeed. It gives you a level with an objective, how you solve it is entirely up to you. You can sneak to the objective, shoot your way through or cause mayhem by stacking boxes, explosive barrels and more. Also, the achievements on steam are all pictures of the developers cats.

@dantheclamman@lemmy.world avatar

Yep, it lives up to the best of what immersive sims set out to be. You have point A, point B, and a million ways that you can go about getting from A to B

Pretty much anything that was not card related. But where I live there’s gamers still gather in holes in the ground and I’m not into that.

I flew once and catched a League of Legends All-Stars event, but it was clearly too corporate and didn’t have that great of a time. I hope I’ll get to catch The International next year.

hal_5700X, do games w Star Wars Outlaws - Review Thread

Star Wars has been dead for years now. Thanks, Disney.

PunchingWood,

The main trilogy hasn’t been great.

But so much other content, from books (High Republic and other novels) to games (Jedi and Battlefront) to other movies (Rogue One, Solo) and shows (Andor, Ahsoka, Mandalorian, Bad Batch, Clone Wars) have been mostly amazing.

Star Wars is only “dead” if you live in that artificial negative hellhole the online community created.

Melonpoly,

Most of what you’ve listed haven’t been great to put it lightly.

I’m tired of the Internet trying to gaslight me into thinking that Star Wars is doing well when it’s not. The past few shows/ movies that have come out have basically been:

  • “Creator” gets hired that knows nothing about Star Wars and wants to make their own thing under the Star Wars brand,
  • new thing flops,
  • “Creator” blames the fans.

What makes The High Republic books, Ahsoka, The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch amazing? What about “gems” like The Acolyte, The Book of Boba Fett and Kenobi which I’m sure most people have forgotten about? Are they amazing?

Star Wars is only alive if you live in the artificial consumerist hellhole that the online community created.

Hawk,

I really enjoyed bad batch, clone wars, rogue one and Andor

chiliedogg,

Dave Feloni, the producer behind Mando, Boba Fett, and Ahsoka isn’t some outsider who knows nothing. He was the producer of the Clone Wars and Rebels, and has a deep love of the franchise and its lore. In fact, what alienate many people about his shows are that they are so incredibly respectful of what came before that newcomers don’t follow it.

To understand everything in Ahsoka you needed to be familiar with so much lore that wasn’t in the films that it felt more like homework to understand for some viewers.

Melonpoly,

Dave Feloni is a clown. If you are familiar with the lore you end up being more pissed off with how he fumbles it. This is especially true if your a fan of Thrawn, Boba Fett or the Mandalorians.

There are plenty of shows that are still entertaining without knowing the lore. How can you claim that Feloni is respectful of the source material when he’s turned light sabers into non lethal weapons, given Mando a ship that doesn’t fit with his role as a bounty hunter, or how he’s turned Thrawn into an idiot?

Rocket League, Smash Bros, Armored Core 6, Elden Ring…

I’ve actually done a local smash bros tourney before. Came in 4th. Pretty much anything I already play for fun, I would sign up for a tourney because I usually play competitive games (or at least games with a fun competitive aspect, as with Elden Ring duels and invasions) and I’m not too bad.

When I still played RL, I really wanted to find some good team mates and try out for RLCS. I was already regularly playing with pros I knew by name due to being in the highest ranking bracket.

A_Union_of_Kobolds,

There are some legit pros in my local Smash scene, I ain’t going to any of those tournaments lol

Lost_My_Mind,

You should go, AND DO THIS!!!

Varyag,

I would ABSOLUTELY attend a local tournament for AC6. The netcode is absolute ASS but the gameplay is so crisp, if we could play it without lag or ghost hits it would be great.

Children of a Dead Earth is a tactical space game with n-body Newtonian physics. This means that on the surface it is very similar to something like KSP, you can do things like orbit a Lagrange point. In addition, you can design all the parts of you spacecraft and weaponry down to the materials they use. If you can make a fuel tank made out of aerogel work with the laws of physics, then you can use it. For example, I made a coilgun that fires nukes which was devastating at close range but the low velocity of the nukes made them easy to dodge at long range and without any thrusters, they cannot course correct.

Burnout, but takedown style, NOT paradise/open world

It’s insane I can’t just have a game where I can do ridiculous crashes and uses cars as bullets.

GreyCat,

Butnout: Paradise was the good shit

chiliedogg,

But they took out crash mode. Yeah, you could crash whenever in the open world, but I loved the puzzle game aspects of the old crash mode.

GreyCat,

What kind of mode is that ?
'Cause there was a mode you were scored on the amount of mayhem you caused.

chiliedogg,

They had pre-arranged intersections with set traffic patterns and multipliers and stuff scattered about, so it was a puzzle as well as a driving challenge.

GreyCat,

oh that’s cool !

iamthewalrus,

Crash mode was sort of like Angry Birds but with exploding cars and 10x the production value. You’d get score multipliers for causing the most damage possible.

NOT paradise/open world

Jeez, I am with you in this one, what is wrong selecting tracks and having less open world games in general?

iamthewalrus,

This is my number one gaming wish. The old school burnout games were great! Couldn’t get into Paradise and all the driving around in between races.

Doom II

…wait don’t downvote yet, you’ve gotta play it with the new ray tracing mod

@moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

jokes on you, I’ve heard of the raytracing mod

tigeruppercut,

Curses! Looks like word got out faster than I anticipated, which makes me happy as a doom fan :)

ByteOnBikes,

Might I recommend Doom Infinite mod?

I’m blown away by its creativity

tigeruppercut,

I saw this one in a yt vid of various mods and it looked great–adding roguelike stuff into Doom is so cool. I’ll definitely give it a shot.

morphballganon,

Spear of Destiny or Rise of the Triad would have been better picks

tigeruppercut,

I’m just surprised everyone has heard of a mod that’s like 2 weeks old.

morphballganon,

It’s the same game though

tigeruppercut,

Yeah I prob should’ve posted one of the total conversion mods like doom zelda
