The Rom hacks like pokemon unbound are wildly successful, so yeah a hifi graphic remake would sell like crazy.

Remakes of Gen 1 or 2 in the style of Octopath Traveler or the FF Pixel Remasters would probably sell like gangbusters.

Saw someone else out urquan masters, so I’ll put Caves of Qud and Rain World. they both of some of the best pixel art ever, and caves of qud has some the most dynamic story telling in anything I’ve played

monotremata,

I’m pretty excited about the upcoming “Free Stars: Children of Infinity.” I backed them on Kickstarter.

The vast majority of my favourite games have been listed, many multiple times, so I’m gonna go with some I didn’t see, though I didn’t look exhaustively, here we go:

Horace

Quite a hidden gem in my opinion, almost no one I mention it to has heard of it. 2D platformer with an amazing story and some interesting gimmicks. One of the most surprising and unforgettable indie games I’ve played.

The Messenger

Ninja action-platformer that is way more than it first appears if you stick with it. Hilarious writing, great controls, and amazing music. Genuinely one of my favourite games.

Yoku’s Island Express

Almost entirely unique in it’s idea. It’s a pinball-metroidvania where you’re a postman dung beetle, and it really works. Gorgeous world, super chill vibes, clever puzzles… What metroid prime pinball should have been.

stringere,

I’m still stuck in Horace! Such a great game.

monotremata,

I liked Horace okay at first, but it definitely gets bastard hard in a hurry.

Slay The Spire

Fury

Ori And The Blind Forest

stringere,

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an excellent followup to Blind Forest.

Feathercrown,

Fury

Furi? Or is there another indie game also called Fury?

The Furi soundtrack slaps btw

gmanlikescheese,

Oh yeah Furi.

I was very tired when I typed this up.

Factorio, hands down

600 hours and counting. The space age expansion basically quadrupled the content, and is the first time I’ve played the game 100% vanilla with no mods in probably 10 years. Great times.

PassingThrough, do games w Survey for curiosity: How many readers are in a library network that holds video games?

Mine used to, but they stopped.

I asked why, and they said in the worst case some people would steal them. Maybe they just kept them or “lost” them, or they returned the cases without the game. With something like the Nintendo chips the theft would be obvious, but a couple of disk style ones had labels forged too. A stupid crime, given the last borrower would simply be fined.

On average though, there were a lot of difficulties keeping them in working order. Apparently they were reported non-functional more than DVDs, and despite a contract with a cleaning and restoration company still had a high failure rate requiring frequent replacement. Which is really kinda funny given how 90% of the time the disk is just a DRM token for an online download, shouldn’t be that susceptible to failure from minor damage…

Anyway between these costs and an analysis that physical game media was on the way out the door(probably mostly the costs), the program was discontinued and you can’t borrow games around here anymore.

Katana314,

It sounds like Nintendo games would really be the preference for librarians.

  • They stay at high price so many patrons will want them
  • They’re often kid friendly; and part of a library’s goal is giving kids a destination
  • The console they’re designed for can be carried to the library
  • The media is resilient to damage or being faked

ESO got in on the racism with the Thieves Guild expansion, too:

Noodle07,

Oh it was racist from the start, that’s the whole plot of the nord/ dark elves / argonian faction

J’Zargo is my homie though.

AngryCommieKender,

Did you give J’Zargo the hiccups‽‽‽

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w Marathon vs. Arc Raiders - Discussion of the games' opposite opinions

They’re both going to be dead in less than like 2 years because they are both PvEvP Extraction Looter Shooters. Combining the top 10 playercounts on Steam in this genre adds up to only like 10k more than the peak player count of Helldivers 2, which is a PvE Extraction Shooter. This genre of game, without a PvE only mode, is dead. Its only good for streamers and content creators, because it is fun to watch someone crash out after losing gear they grinded to get for 50+ hours, but the viewers don’t want to play the game because feeling that themselves is not fun.

This genre of games is basically a wet dream for toxic people. Because the PvP players know that the PvE players dont want to fight them, and take advantage of that to camp, grief, etc. What other genre of game rewards a player intentionally ruining someone else’s gaming experience?

I am grateful the toxic sponge exists so I dont have to deal with those players in other games, but these development studios keeps trying to make this genre popular, and it literally can never be popular.

define dead, is tarkov dead by your definition? no game really dies. heck old games succeeded by dying (aka beating it)

EDIT: or hunt

Random123,

Tell that to escape from tarkov devs, albion online, etc.

Just sounds like youre whining tbh

Rimworld

Feathercrown, do games w What is your favorite indie game?

Celeste is one of my favorite games period, and it qualifies. The gameplay parallels the story better than any other game I’ve ever played or seen played, and the soundtrack, art, and characters are amazing. Top tier gameplay and a great story to go with it.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for absolutely unhinged strange gameplay made by a programmer rather than a game designer, check out Fractal Block World. It’s pretty fascinating!

Vedgytones, do games w What is your favorite indie game?

Super Daryl Deluxe

That game has one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard in a game.
