The StarCraft FPS.

I’m still mad about it.

Honestly, I was really looking forward to EverQuest Next. The idea sounded promising before it was cancelled.

The Culling

Before the devs ruined it by throwing away the movement and combat system.

Wasn’t canceled but they might as well have because they lost 99% of their playerbase from that one change in Beta.

villainy,

For anyone wondering, the game is Silent Hills. It was cancelled 10 years ago and you can still find people on eBay selling PS4s with the P.T. demo loaded on it for way too much money.

That would have been quite something. I’ve seen P.T. being played and that was fucking scary.

So I have three different typ of games from the top of my head.

A game I know was a thing that got cancelled. Life by You I am so pissed it got caned. I was looking forward to it so so much.

Then a game I don’t really know if it actually was a thing, I heard about it after it was cancelled, but I can’t really find much about it. Is The Sinister Six it was apparently a game about the Spider-man super villain group of the same name, as they appertaining in Insomniac’s spider man games. All I really remember is that you were supposed to play as the villains and it sounded good, I however only heard about it after it was caned so I really don’t know much more about it.

And then there is this game that was never a thing, but an April fools joke in 2015. There would be a cross over game between The Sims and GTA. I got so excited about it, it still sounds like it could have been awesome.

Those are some different typs of cancelled games that I really miss.

Lance is the best! But it’s also one of the hardest to use effectively.

Look up the actual combos, because most of the games I’ve played in the series do not tell you every single combo you can do in game, and some of them are extremely helpful. Especially with the lance.

Even_Adder, do gaming w need advice, how to get good at monster hunter

It helps to think of fights against monsters as a turn-based encounter. As long as you can dodge or the monster misses its attack, you should be able to land a hit. If you get hit or are too far away when the monster attacks, you probably won’t be able to land any meaningful offense or heal without getting punished for it.

_cryptagion, do gaming w Why doesn't Steam support Android?

Because Valve has gone to fair lengths to not become shit, and they probably don’t want to start now.

Ulrich,

I don’t understand what that has to do with the discussion.

_cryptagion,

Yes, I imagine you don’t. Which is probably why you asked the question in the first place.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

…would you like to explain?

Revan343,

They’re implying that the entire android software ecosystem is shit and should be avoided

_cryptagion,

Not Android specifically, I’m talking mobile games in general. I’m on iOS, and it’s not any better here. Mobile games are usually free for a reason, and that reason is that they are loaded with spyware, ads, and shitty monetization practices that I very highly doubt the majority of PC gamers on Windows, Linux, or MacOS would like to see become more prevalent on their platform.

And I while I don’t think Valve is some benevolent corporate overlord that’s looking out for what’s best for us, I do think they know how to extract a lot of value out of PC gamers for many years, and that’s by generally giving us what we want.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

loaded with spyware, ads, and shitty monetization practices

I mean that’s already the case with PC games…? Only slightly better because they are not Google and don’t allow straight-up ads for third-party products and services, which is what most of these “free” mobile games run on anyway. Valve has the potential to make a much better experience.

If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

_cryptagion,

If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

I won’t, because it isn’t a thing and never will be.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Excellent, so you agree it’s not the problem you made it out to be?

_cryptagion,

That’s the argument you decided to go with? Really?

Yeah, it’s not a problem in the same way that you having a cohesive thought happen to wander through your barren mind is not a problem.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

It wasn’t my argument, it was yours.

Boomkop3,

Google has made quite some effort making android a mess for anything but themselves. If I were valve/steam I would not want to maintain a store on there

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Seems to work just fine for me and all of my 3rd party apps and stores 🤷

Boomkop3,

Android is probably the least consistent os out there. And that every phone manufacturer has to have their own spin on it doesn’t help. You got lucky, or some bog standard big brand thing

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

It’s called diversity. It has its drawbacks but for the most part it works just fine. That’s why it’s the most popular mobile OS in the world.

Boomkop3,

No, it’s the most popular because it’s free and can be stuffed onto basically anything while being pushed by the largest advertising company on the planet. Diversity has nothing to do with this

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

It can also be delivered with said advertising company completely removed from the system. Because it’s open source.

Did you notice how the alternative wasn’t even involved in this discussion? Why do you think that is?

Boomkop3,

They were? Because steam already is on windows and linux?

As for Apple products: Apple does not like 3rd party app stores or allowing other companies to take payments. It took a legislative fight with the eu and quite a few fines before they decided to stop being ass much of a bunch of assholes.

If I had a good running market I wouldnt bother with apple either

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Because steam already is on windows and linux?

Really? You’re really going to pretend Windows and Linux are alternatives to Android? Can we just have an honest conversation, please?

It took a legislative fight with the eu and quite a few fines before they decided to stop being ass much of a bunch of assholes.

You’re mistaken. They’re still a bunch of assholes. If you specifically live in the EU you might be able to distribute your own apps but they still require Apple’s rubber stamp and Apple still gets to collect the vast majority of their tax. Not the case for Android (anywhere). And it’s been this way from the beginning.

Boomkop3,

They’re platforms you can game on, are they not? You can plug a controller or a keyboard in either.

Also I never said Apple wasn’t a bunch of assholes. I’m just glad a government stood up to them

The Last of Us Factions 2, even though it never came out

SatansMaggotyCumFart, do gaming w The steam deck is just great

Don’t they have different screens too though?

entwine413,

From the original decks, the top tier screen can be achieved with a matte screen protector

Flames5123,

Exactly. The two higher editions are OLED, 7.4”, 90 Hz, which is a huge plus, vs the LCD, 7”, 60Hz display of the old/cheaper one. Plus the battery has 25% more capacity for the OLED editions. But between the top two, it’s just storage and cosmetics/accessories.

colanut, do games w What's a cancelled game you really miss?

Hyper Scape, probably my favorite battle royale. When you died, you could still run around as a ghost and be revived at a dead enemy. It was much more engaging than just sitting there spectating your teammates. Also the loot was a lot more simplified, so you didn’t have to spend time managing inventory or worrying about getting the right ammo type

Eggyhead, do gaming w need advice, how to get good at monster hunter

I was introduced to MH with Freedom Unite, then convinced to jump onto the World bandwagon, but it wasn’t until Rise that it finally “clicked”. It might have been that I discovered I am more a Light Bowgunner than anything else, but I enjoyed the heck out of Rise, then discovered I actually love playing LBG in World.

Unfortunately Freedom Unite is still a step too far out of “modern streamlined” for me to really enjoy, but perhaps if I tried LBG there as well, I could finally find a way to look past all the inconveniences.

billiam0202, do games w What's a cancelled game you really miss?

Anthem was a really great idea for a game that had an absolutely terrible execution.

droning_in_my_ears,

What disappointed you most?

billiam0202,

It’s been a minute, but off the top of my head:

  • The story was ass.
  • Not enough content for a “live service” game.
  • Enemy levels scaled heavily with your gear level, so better gear didn’t make you feel any more powerful.
  • The stats system for the gear was trash. Like, equipping one piece of high level gear and then keeping your starting gear for everything else was legitimately better than trying to get BiS for all of your gear.
  • Gear had randomly generated buffs, and those might buff other gear. But sometimes it would you would get a drop for something your class could equip (not every class could use every weapon, for example) but with buffs to a weapon your class couldn’t use.
  • For a game that was essentially “be Iron Man” they included an overheat mechanic so you couldn’t just fly wherever you wanted.
