Star Wars 1313 is a big one for me. Same with Battlefront 3, both would have been amazing. RIP og Lucasarts, you were a real one.

Also, Retro Studios has had a few concepts that sounded awesome. They were planning a few Zelda spinoffs I would have really liked to see. Heroes of Hyrule and the Sheik project looked cool as hell.

SpruceBringsteen,

Star Wars Galaxies was such an ambitious MMO at launch.

Crazy in depth crafting system, especially with regards to pets. With how materials were randomly generated and cycled out it created a market that actually experienced booms and scarcity.

Some of the servers went almost a year before all the materials required for certain weapons spawned. And the materials all had random stats that would affect the item you crafted.

sp3ctr4l,

Also a surprisingly advanced and customizable… ‘class’ system, which was really more like a whole bunch of branching skill trees you could mix and match basically various ranks of… allowing many weird, but often effective, hyrbrids of ‘classes’ that… could either focus on one main ‘class’, but augment it with certain abilities from other ‘classes’…

And then the Combat Upgrade happened, and everything got streamlined.

Also… being a Jedi/Sith used to be… exceptionally rare and difficult to pull off.

IIRC, basically, some kind of insane random seed type thing gave each of your characters a very, very tiny chance of being force sensitive… but you wouldn’t even know this unless you also found basically a hidden event/questline, and then that would unlock a whole set of force skill trees, allowing for a range of jedi to sith abilities, with some kind of mix effectively being a ‘gray’ jedi.

Finally… SWG … still appears to me to be the only MMO that actually attempted to implement a working, player vs player, bounty hunting and tracking system, within an mmo… as a core game mechanic of a player ‘class’.

Though I haven’t played all mmos, so I may be wrong about that.

… Also an entire skill tree for basically being a mayor and running your own player built town. A whole skill tree dedicated to like… administrative capacity and zoning laws.

Do MMOs even… do player built cities anymore? Or did they just mostly switch over to ‘you have a house in the set aside ‘suburb’ instance’?

Came here to mention Star Wars 1313.

Haven’t played Outlaws, but I guess that’s the closes we have come to that. Maybe a non-ubisoft game similar to that?

SexDwarf,

Wasn’t there also a cancelled Darth Maul project?

Guitar,

Oh damn, I forgot about that. I think you’re right. Wasn’t it supposed to be a more mature take on Star Wars?

SexDwarf,

It’s been a while but I think so. No idea what the genre was supposed to be, a soulslike maybe or something combat/combo based like DMC?

Bound to Light store.steampowered.com/app/…/Bound_To_Light/ I really liked the idea, but as the studio hade to shut down a few Yeats ago I guess it wont happen

RoboCop Rogue City maybe? I’ve only played like 30 min, but you are RoboCop so you move pretty slow and deliberately.

titan fall 2. never actually got to appreciate it because by the time i found it the server matching was completely broken. all they need to do is allow private servers or fix the matching system and the game would be playable. seems like plenty of people want to play it. I don’t know why they decided let the game die instead. makes no damn sense.

It’s playable now on vanilla servers, but the North Star client also exists, pilot.

nutsack,

interesting if true

Steambot Chronicles 2 and Maximo 3. I can’t believe they never finished the Maximo story. It’s such a good hack and slash collectathon of the PS2 era.

Those upcycled cassette tape cases are sweet! Whoever came up with that idea is my new favorite person.

There’s a big, big, big community for those out there! So many options for doing so, and even custom cabinets that have been made to make displaying them easier, too!

WetBeardHairs,

I just found some on reddit. What other communities are out there? I’m digging through the 3d print sharing websites but those never feel particularly… community oriented or really communicative at all.

The Original Lawn Darts. Life is no fun without a bit of risk.

Infinite Crisis. This was a MOBA based on DC comics. It’s the game that got me into the genre and had some very cool alternate takes on some of the DC characters. Sadly it had a lot of balance problems and other issues causing it to close down after only 6 months.

GunZ

StarCraft Broodwar (need to make a Blizzard account now apparently)

JadenSmith,

My word, I remember playing this when I was a teenager (and I’m in my mid-30s now).

I remember doing all those trick movements, the slash and dash, wall climbs, weapon switching for quick dash etc.
Then several months into playing, I found out people were using macros for those instead of… Pressing all the keys manually…
My hands hurt so much until that discovery.

pathos,

Very small minority use macros. You can watch videos of people playing and watch their keystrokes on both physical keyboard and virtual. I recommend kujo on YouTube.

But yeah, very nice memories indeed. Apparently, it’s making a comeback on Steam.

JadenSmith,

That’s a blast from the past. Thanks for the shout!

Mother 64
Mother 3 is my favorite game, but I’m still bummed this timeline didn’t get a fun quirky N64 graphics Mother game. Would have been interesting to see which style elements came through in 3D, which didn’t, and what new spins on things would have added to the series

Nintendo retroactively acquired Palworld patents? What?

Fajna jest przeglądarka Librewolf, to jest fork firefox-a ale nie docierają do niej głupie rzeczy które zdarza się Mozilli zrobić, np reklamy w głównym i ma uBlock w domyślnej instalacji. Do tych kilku platform które wymagają DRM-ów (u mnie to głównie tidal) mam thorium, to jak ungoogled-chromium z włączonymi DRM-ami żeby wszystko w miarę chodziło.

montar_, do zapytajszmer w ludzie, którzy mówią w wielu językach, w jakim języku są twoje aplikacje?

Zwykle po angielsku, niektore tłumaczenia na polski aż bolą, szczególnie technicznych określeń a siedzę głównie w technice.
