It’s like a rewiring through new experience. Back in the day games were improving in looks and gameplay rapidly. Then the latter started deteriorating for many big studio titles.
You tell me some new AAAA Ubisoft game is coming out and my gag reflex starts to tingle.
A new pixel graphic indie title with great reviews? Sign me up.
I’m there with you, but a little worried that AI pixel slop is coming to ruin it.
Retro gaming has become my jam, but I’m also rapidly approaching 50 and have an 8y/o that likes to learn my old games with me for now. So I’m gonna enjoy that while we can.
My nieces’ favorite video game of all time is dead or alive 3 on the original Xbox. There’s a switch with new games and fancier graphics connected to an OLED tv but at the end of the day they just want to kick people as simply as possible. Old ass console connected to an old tv in a guest room.
Nobody is better at sniffing out what’s actually fun than kids. They might get tricked by marketing here and there but once they get their hands on things it’s a simple process for them. Does this spark joy?
I wanted photo realistic games when I was younger, and now I get to enjoy playing them. I also enjoy playing 2d games. It turns out fidelity is just an artistic choice which does little to predict the quality of a game 🙄
Also has to be said that 2D vs. 3D is basically just different genres, because it affects gameplay so much. Someone who only plays 3D games misses out on a whole bunch of variety.
Once upon a time I wanted a strong PC so badly so I could play… Grand Theft Auto IV.
Now, I don’t want anything to do with that franchise. Granted I still do play some AAA stuff, more so PS3 games, and I now want a strong PC for Cyberpunk 2077 to explore its world and give myself extra background for the TTRPG Cyberpunk RED, but other than that I mostly just want indie and retro.
Thanks! It’s been going on for like the last month but i think i’m closed to finished thankfully. It’s definitely the most drained I’ve been in a long while, it will be nice to see it through to the end though.
Same for me! I just unlocked the cargo dispatcher and the tier 2 building mats to build them, so I wiped my entire spaghetti factory and I'm rebuilding in a nice bus layout, transporting in the remote ores using the dispatchers.
I like that there's more combat in the game. I was a tad disappointed that, when I entered a cave for the first time carrying a lot of guns and ammo, I only found some plants and crystals. I was prepping for a big fight with bugs hiding from the rupture! 😄
The big advantage of the robot over human pals is that you can send items directly to your ship. In coop you need to carry it. The biggest downside is that it uses soooo much ammo when acting as a ship gunner. I'm flying the small ship and put on the lance railgun. The long reload time ensures that the bot can't waste all my ammo.
I’ve done a few solo+robo runs with the small ship and it’s a great time. It’s a bit less chaotic because there are some ship effects (like fires and radiation leaks) that don’t get enabled until you have at least 3 players. I’m excited to see how the game develops over the next few months.
