Prancingpotato, do gaming w For me, it was Microsoft Ants

I got two im thinking of : One I am sure I can recover but hey, let’s shoot for some engagement here, it was a sort of worms like but with pigs, were you could promote units to archetypes The second one I couldn’t find on my searches, it was a PS1 game (I think) in which you constructed your Mecha for battle royale rounds, and you could buy parts or change chassis. I remember an arena on a sort of battleship or structure in the sea, but I was unable to retrieve the name of this game.

purplemonkeymad,

For the first it wasn’t hogs of war was it? Never played it but do remember it being in a few mags.

Prancingpotato,

It was definitely this one ! I remember playing it at a friend’s house and having a blast

HexaBack,

second game might be Armored Core?

Prancingpotato,

I don’t think so, but it keeps coming in my searches also, I guess I will try it to see if it fits my memories !

At some point at some friend’s place I played a slightly GTA-ish game but it was all 3D stick figures and just running from the police and shooting thr stick men with guns.

Haaveilija,

I think what I am looking for is a third-person shooter. Thanks for the tip anyway!

bitjunkie,

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Playing Final Fantasy XI in 2025 (or 2026)?

I’ve been wanting to play this game for a while. But I think in order to have the best experience, you probably need to get a group together that is willing to play at the same time as you

. I convinced a friend to play a bit(like 4 hours) with me years ago and I thought it was fun! But I don’t think he enjoyed the slower grind of the experience and he dropped off.

_Lory98_,

I found that there’s a free login campaign now, so I’m trying it out. If we were in the same time zone and I was sure I’d continue playing, I’d offer to join you.

Megaman_EXE,

I appreciate the offer, but I likely won’t be able to play it for a while. I don’t have the time that I would need to dedicate to it at the moment!

Path of Exile 2, the 0.4.0 patch. It’s kinda like the blue/red pill situation. Take the blue pill and enjoy any class, soaking in the pretty animations and visual effects. Feel the “weight” of your movement, actions, and decisions as the vision of the game designers is ruthlessly materializing after one year of early access.

Or just click pathfinder and blast through the game thanks to immense QOL and easily accessible power creep.

Best suggestion in this thread! Trackmania Forever slapped when I had a low powered machine.

Danitos,

Saaaame. And the online lobbies were such a blast. Good music, people somehow with colorful names, encouraging chat, 0 toxicity and random but good tracks.

There is a way to play privately with only your friends, although unofficial, not supported by Rockstar and only on PC. It’s a little program call ‘RDO Lobby Manager’ and it modifies your game in a way, that you get put on your own server. Your friends need the same program.

I was telling my friend about that last night but i couldn’t remember what it was called. Thanks! This will be great for us to have our fishing/hunting game. Do you know if it still allows bounty hunts and stuff? I know it mentions no Multiplayer Gamemodes but i don’t know if those are covered under that

NecroticEuphoria,

It should work. I was doing a lot of trade and moonshine runs

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks! I set it up today and me and my friend played some, it works flawlessly. Honestly works better than playing on the official servers (something i can’t help but suspect is due to griefers). My horse actually comes when i call for it, Animals arent dropping from the sky, and i’m not being teleported into a wagon wrapped in a blanket of gators and then blown up.

Seriously, this is awesome. Thanks so much for this

I got to chapter 12 of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and can’t be bothered to finish it. I really don’t like how so much of the game feels like padding. There are parts that flow naturally, but they get interrupted by long wastes of time that usually force you to play really bad minigames. At some point the dungeons too started to feel samey. The open world is also Ubisoft-level bad, so I’ve been ignoring it.

The story also feels like a downgrade from the original version in some ways. I though some sequences had less impact (specifically Dyne’s story and Red’s trial. Shinra Mansion too I thought was ruined).

I’m not really a fan of remakes in general. I think they are usually unnecessary and a wasted opportunity to do something new, and it bothers me how they often try to “erase” the original’s gameplay. This one in particular feels like an excuse to sell a single game split in three parts. I doubt I’ll be playing the third one.

I’ve been trying The Last Remnant. Its gameplay is kinda weird and unique, although a bit too opaque. Not sure if it’s good, but it’s at least interesting.

Poopfeast420,

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

I did finish the game, but it was a complete slog at the end. It was mainly because I still really like the characters and had invested too much time into the two games at that point, so I have to see this trilogy through to the end.

Like you said, there’s just soooo much padding, and I’d even say the world is much worse than Ubisoft stuff. It’s just empty, except for the same five copy & paste “events” in every zone.

Something must be wrong with me though, since I’ve actually been thinking about replaying the game lately. Dunno why, but the thought just keeps creeping into my brain every now and then.

wuffah, do gaming w Is there a trick to controllers that I'm missing?

Controllers are inherently an inferior control device to mouse and keyboard, especially for shooters.

Except for driving.
Keyboard sucks in that disclipline.

C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq,

And in that circumstance, controllers are inferior to wheel and pedals.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

But more versatile and in direct comparison cheaper.
Same as with keyboards in other disciplines ;)

C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq,

Yeah, that’s true. It’s definitely a specialised piece of kit.

rowinxavier, do gaming w [DCSS] An unusual way to one-shot an orc

What game is this? Dungeon crawl stone soup?

chicken,

Seems to be. Some relevant info from the wiki:

Aura of Power - Any enemy that attacks you may instead falter or redirect its attack to itself or another target. The chance of this rises linearly with piety, reaching a 10% chance of faltering and 5% chance of redirecting at max piety. (Passive)

Confuse is a monster-only spell that attempts to induce confusion in a single target from a distance. It requires a clear line of effect and must overcome the target’s willpower. The following enemies cast Confuse: … Orc wizard

Confusion is a status condition that causes the victim to move and act randomly until it wears off. Confusion can be extremely dangerous: the victim may attack empty tiles or even allies when they attempt to fight, and may fall into deep water or lava if they attempt to move.

Ephera,

Yep. It does also optionally have graphics by the way. It just also has this accompanying text log in case you need to read up on wtf just happened.

catfeeder,

Stone Soup indeed, my favorite roguelike - highly recommended!
