“This one resorts to crime to survive because racist nords won’t give it a job.”

Kusimulkku,

Racist Nords didn’t give sex either I gather

lowered_lifted, do gaming w Can you *believe* how those Nords stereotype us?

The people updooting this probably believe white supremacist myths about “black crime rates”

Kusimulkku,

I mean the top comments aren’t exactly arguing against those, rather saying that marginalized people have to resort to them.

You can’t be a fence if you never knew the stuff you’re buying was stolen, which was the case in Morrowind, the only person you couldn’t sell stolen stuff to was the owner.

Hellmo_Luciferrari, (edited ) do games w Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?

I really stopped caring for Pokemon after X and Y, and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The switch games were big misses. I kinda liked Sword and Shield, but they had no lasting power on me. Scarlet and Violet are by far the worst Pokemon games to have ever come out of mainline Pokemon.

I didn’t play through Marcus Arceus at all, even though I own it. Maybe I will give that a shot.

Ace0fBlades,

Isn’t this what Brilliant Diamond and Pearl were supposed to be? Granted had none of the fun stuff extras that omega ruby and sapphire added, but that was still the premise, right?

3d Pokémon can be done well and beautifully. Pokémon coliseum proved that years ago

Hellmo_Luciferrari,

I didn’t play those more than the first gym. ORAS was infinitely better.

Elevator7009,

Took me a little to realize Marcus was autocorrected Arceus. Pokémon Marcus sounds amusing.

Hellmo_Luciferrari,

Thank you for the laugh, I didn’t catch that. Will edit my comment

Barthosw, do games w Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?

Just go play pokemon unbound. It’s better than anything nintendo would come up with.

Wow I had no idea this was a thing and it looks A M A Z I N G. Thanks for mentioning it!

Yup. Fan projects and indie games can fill this niche. Pokemon is the most profitable media franchise EVER. They should be innovating and improving, not chasing nostalgia.

Elevator7009,

In general, Pokémon ROM hacks are cool and fans of the 2D or old game style like me should definitely give these more attention.

Elevator7009, (edited ) do games w Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?

Absolutely yes. I much prefer the 2D Pokémon artstyle to the 3D models.

Also !pokemon might like this question—kind of saddened to see things that would fit in active niche communities only ever get posted in a giant Games community, but it is also very unfair of me to expect everyone to know every community ever, and you generally get rewarded with more engagement in the big tent communities. Went and crossposted it myself, people answered

ClumsyFingers, (edited ) do games w What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?

Many of the early console and PC games were only solvable by finding answers in published magazines. Nintendo was notorious for this - they had their own magazine called Nintendo POWER and a hotline you could call to get tips. A few that come to mind:

Blaster Master / Goonies 2 / Mad Max / The Kings Quest games / The Black Caludron

Hugin,

Kings Quest? I played them on pc. They had stuff you needed the manual for but that was it. Did they change it for Nintendo?

TwitchingCheese,

Probably just a comment on the moon logic puzzles in some of the games. And yea, Sierra had their own hint line to call. Or write in

On arcades, you’d get fucked by asshole difficulty. At home, you’d get fucked by asshole difficulty and purposeful lack of information. Took me a while to put 2 and 2 together and realize how “predatory games” have been around for a very long time. Can’t sell the game twice, but you can sell information.

ClumsyFingers,

Apologies, I can see how I was confusing. I was listing both Nintendo and PC games that came to mind; Kings Quest and Black Cauldron were PC

AceFuzzLord, do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

Depends on the game. I’m still a very long ways away from completing it, so please no spoilers, but Sonic Frontiers? They added enough to the open world that it’s fun to run around and do side stuff in. Pokemon Violet? The charm wore out quick enough, making the region feel way too empty compared to most other gens, so no. No clue on the DLC, but I imagine they’re similarly as empty and devoid of NPCs as well. Games like VoxeLibre on Luanti? Wouldn’t want it any other way!

Mongostein, do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

You don’t have to do everything in an open world game. Just go from main mission to main mission and you’ve pretty much turned it in to a linear game.

I only really like STALKER I think, because it’s generally compressed and dense rather than stretching out over nothingness. It’s technically multiple levels than being overworld I guess.

I didn’t get Breath of the Wild.

Yay in my case (including Ubi open world games).

Glad to know you like them ☺️

Maestro, do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

Days Gone is well designed and balanced. The map isn't overly large. If you just follow the quests you pretty much go everywhere anyway. I highly recommend you just give it a go. It's a great game!

@Azrael@lemmy.ca avatar

Thanks! I think I will. I just need to get over myself on this.
