I know red eclipse is under active development, but I think its parent project Sauerbraten might have more players. I haven’t checked in years though.

Kolanaki, do games w Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

They literally ssid they kept the mechanics running on the original engine so the game retains its “bethesda charm” and upon playing it, it became immediately obvious that Todd 100℅ believes what was charming about their games is the jank and bugginess. 🤦‍♂️

I really hate the fact that Morrowind was such a landmark, amazing, beautiful game in nearly every way (for the time) and they have managed to regress on every single front from that in every single game they have made after.

winety,

I agree with Todd in the sense that the jankyness is part of Oblivion’s charm. However, I believe that the jankyness only works in a game from 2007, which has weird graphics and an overall surreal vibe. The jankyness is not charming in the dark fantasy of Skyrim nor in the hyper-realistic remake/remaster (whatever people call it).

Maybe the future of this is platforms like S@box letting ppl make their own mp games and having them be accessible from one location. Probably not realistic, but would be sick if all these fossgames had one portal/serverbrowser to access them from. I think there is something for doom that is essentially that?

wizardbeard,

Zandronum was the Doom server browser of choice, at least 4 years ago or so. Even will auto download the mods the server is running (if the admin configured things right).

The Far Cry 4 secret ending.

That part at the beginning where you’re sitting at the table with Pagan Min and he leaves briefly giving you a chance to escape. If you just sit there and don’t do anything for like 10 minutes, he actually comes back and takes Ajay to place his mother’s ashes. Then the game ends without a shot fired.

Similarly, Far Cry 5. At the beginning, when you’re told to arrest Joseph Seed, you can choose to just turn around and walk out the door. The sheriff will agree with you, saying it’s best to just leave him and his cult alone and it would’ve only ended in your deaths if you tried to arrest him. Then the game ends.

EddoWagt,

Didn’t Far Cry 5 end with a nuclear explosion? Yeah leaving him be is probably the better option

cobysev,
@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think the nuclear explosion was related to Joseph Seed. He was just a “prophet,” claiming the end times were here. The nukes were going to happen regardless, he was just trying to save as many people as he could, whether they wanted to be saved or not. He was the villain, but only in an “ends justify the means” sense. In the end, he was actually right; the world did fall to nuclear holocaust.

EddoWagt,

I suppose I’m misremembering, it’s been like 5 years since I played it. Maybe I’ll play it again some day, I remember quite liking the game

cobysev,
@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

It’s my favorite of the Far Cry games. I love the setting and gameplay! I actually wrote a review on it recently and posted it here to Lemmy.

EddoWagt,

That’s quite the review, I think I still prefer Far Cry 4 (don’t really know why tbh), but 5 did surprise me. Although New Dawn was a giant disappointment, didn’t even finish it

mic_check_one_two,

Yes, but the bombs would have dropped regardless. So still the same end result.

Supposedly, the game was supposed to have a lot more atmospheric storytelling. Radios playing in the background, with news reports about rising tensions between the US and some nuclear state. Newspapers left laying around with headlines of nuclear war brewing. TVs playing with reporters talking about some country (Iran or North Korea, maybe?) developing nukes.

These were supposed to be scattered all over the place in ways that the player would obviously cross paths with them. The cult was less “doomsday prepping for no reason” and more “doomsday prepping because they think it’s soon”.

But Ubisoft being Ubisoft, they cut a lot of content because they wanted to launch the game sooner.

bitjunkie,

Hmm I knew about the crab Rangoon one but not this. Interesting. Also, does anyone know if New Dawn is any good? I’ve skipped the “expansion” titles in the series because I was not a fan of Blood Dragon, but it feels like I’m not giving New Dawn and Primal their due when all the mainline entries in the series have been fantastic.

cobysev,
@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

I personally really enjoyed New Dawn, but it gets a lot of hate from the community. Maybe because each Far Cry game is a completely unique game, and New Dawn is just a continuation of Far Cry 5. I read a lot of reviews that said it didn’t bring anything new to the franchise. Of course! It’s just part 2 of a previous game! You get to see what the world is like 17 years after the events of Project Eden, so the map is the same and a lot of the gameplay mechanics are the same. You do have a community that you’re trying to build up; restoring order and safety amongst survivors of the nuclear fallout, so that’s unique.

One thing I didn’t like was that your character from Far Cry 5 (the Deputy) makes an appearance in New Dawn. Turns out they’ve been brainwashed by Joseph Seed after spending 17 years trapped in a bunker alone with him, so they’re fiercely loyal to Joseph now. Fortunately, Joseph is not the enemy in this game. You actually ally with Joseph’s new group New Eden, so the Deputy (now called The Judge) becomes a gun-for-hire.

I did not like Primal. I played a couple hours of it and just couldn’t get into it. It’s more of a survival game than a Far Cry game. You have to craft everything to survive and you have a stamina bar that depletes unless you regularly eat and sleep. Fast-traveling takes a huge chunk out of stamina, which is annoying and defeats the purpose of “fast” traveling, but I guess it’s realistic.

Unlike most Far Cry games where you’re isolated in a region, trying to overthrow a dictator-wannabe or something, Primal is more about building a community and eventually becoming chief of your own tribe. Sure, there are other tribes to fight against, but it just felt weird not having a solid objective besides surviving. Maybe there’s more plot to it and I just didn’t play enough to get into it.

I still haven’t played Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon. I own both of them and I’ve been meaning to get around to it. I’m an '80s child, so I love the retro-futuristic aesthetic of Blood Dragon. Are they related in story at all, or is Blood Dragon just a standalone expansion for Far Cry 3? If it’s unrelated to Far Cry 3’s plot, I might just jump into it and check it out.

Do secret joke endings even count?

Well, in Hitman 3 you can choose to not kill the last evil guy, which causes you to wake up in the very first game from 2000.

wolf, do games w Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound: Not finished yet, but having a total blast playing it. Great/responsive controls, level design is great and enemies telegraph their attacks properly, like it should be in an action game

Street Fighter 6: Gave Sagat a try

Slay the Spire: Acension level 18, want to make it to 20 before the 2nd part gets into early access

emb,

I remember a while back, thinking I’ll be done with StS once I beat ascension 20. Then, I’ll just get 20 with the first three characters. Now I’m eyeing the leftover achievements. Never ends. StS2 will destroy me lol.

wolf,

Same for me. I put an unholy amount of time in StS on all platforms and haven’t all achievements yet! :-) OTOH, there are worse ways to waste your lifetime. ;-)

Xonotic still has a few servers running and 385 players yesterday

dil,

wtfs wrong with my xonotic, i only see like 2 servers not full max when i check

Ephera,

Hmm, are you on an up-to-date version? Could also be a timezone thing, though, like maybe there’s an active community in India, which plays when you’re asleep or whatever.

dil,

I've checked many different times and there is usually nothing, makes sense it's prob out of my timezone pst US

Ephera, do games w What foss MP games are still active?

Haven’t checked in on it in a while, but I’d be surprised, if Teeworlds wasn’t still going strong.
