Souls games. Popularized invasions.

Perfect example that “popularized” is different from “popular”.

scutiger,

And also the concept of your collection of souls being recoverable from your last point of death.

I know the “death bag” mechanic had been done before, but the disappearing cache is a core element of Soulslike gameplay that has been repeated so many times since then. It adds a sense of urgency and FOMO to the recovery of your stuff. If you die again, it’s gone for good.

I feel like Call of Duty 4 modernized and standardized the FPS genre on at least consoles. Every call of duty game still looks and feels exactly the same since CoD4 and every other first person shooter copied it’s control scheme because it was so firmly cemented.

morphballganon,

What did CoD 4 introduce that Halo 3 hadn’t already done 2 months prior?

Summzashi,

Real world weapon customization comes to mind. Other than that I don’t know, I haven’t played Halo 3.

Crush the Castle inspired Angry Birds and several other games with the same catapult mechanic. Loved that flash game way before Angry Birds was put on the App Store.

Arma 2-3 have been responsible for at least 3 major multiplayer genres.

Which game popularised the now household mechanic of being shut down after a couple of years?

EverQuest required a subscription fee every month and created a gold rush. The shutdowns come when you don’t find the gold that they did.

illi,

Weird calling out EQ which os still going and even getting expacs afaik

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It is, and I don’t think it’s even the first game to require a subscription fee. It was just so successful at it that everyone wanted that monthly recurring revenue. When it doesn’t work, they’d often rather see the game cease to exist.

Blasphemous, a 2D Metroidvania game with a very distinctive art style.

So far loving the world design and level design, it reminds me strongly of Dark Souls, without feeling like a clone in any way. I do unfortunately suck at platforming, and this game is so far not forgiving about it…

chloyster,

Nice! Yeah blasphemous slaps. The platforming as you say though is unforgiving. I hate the instant spike KOs… Something the sequel thankfully changed

Panties,

I was honestly hoping that they had added something later in game that makes it no longer instant death… So that isn’t happening then?

At least I have the sequel to look forward to

chloyster,

It unfortunately isn’t happening

Can somebody please tell me why this is the third Mafia thread I’ve seen? Are they on sale or something?

Edit: nevermind, it is all the same person. Would I be a dick for suggesting they contain it to one Mafia thread?

FeelzGoodMan420,

No. OP is a clown. Look at his replies in one of the RDR2 threads.

I wonder what the source of the RTS conventions was. Ctrl num for making groups. Double press to centre on group. X for scattering units. A to stop them. Pretty sure these predate C&C but the only one before that I can think of is dune.

sexual_tomato,

Dune was the second RTS ever though

dustyData,

Maybe because that one didn’t come from videogames. Selection sets or groups have been a thing on UI for a long time, ever since vertex editor on CAD software.

Slay the Spire spawned a ton of deck builder roguelites.

SpraynardKruger,

Without which we wouldn’t have the only true deck builder roguelite, Rogue Light Deck Builder.

Donkey Kong (1981) popularized having different levels in a game to progress a storyline. Until then, you would have the same level over and over with increasing difficulty

I think a warning and a rule against spam would suffice for now

Milan77,

Get lost if you don’t like my posts

Cadeillac,

Well that was uncalled for

Milan77,

I don’t like it when people are cynical towards me so it was completely called

That is something you will have to learn to deal with. I handled this in the best way I knew possible

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

Welcome to the internet.

People are a lot nicer if you’re less annoying.

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

I agree that he could make more structured and elaborate threads, but I wouldn’t call him a clown or spammer for that much.
Might I remind you that you can just ignore him if you don’t want to see his threads? Like that those who wish to engage on those threads still can and you won’t be bothered anymore.

If OP break a community rule or a site wide rule, we will ban him, after warning him, but not otherwise.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

But perhaps a good community rule would be to make threads that are conducive to discussion rather than single answers that can be found with a quick web search.

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

I do agree. I’ll raise the question with the others mods and we’ll decide on a new rule if necessary.

Cadeillac,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know how to properly word this, and I hope you don’t take it in a negative way. Is this not something you would want the entire communities opinion on? Just you and the mods going to decide what we want?

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

I think this would be a first. So there is no real methodology in place right now.
But I’d really like to get the community involved for the decision making, that’s something we’ll discuss internally, but in my opinion I’d like for it to work as following :

  1. The community, LW admin, or the mods express the need for new rules <- We are here
  2. Internal discussion between mods, and, if needed, LW admins, to make sure the new or updated rule is conform to LW rules and what we wish to do with the community.
  3. Once the draft of the new rule is done, we’d publish it as draft to get feedback.
  4. Once most people agree on the new or updated rule, we will start enforce it, first with a bit of leniency, then more strictly.

What do you think about that ?

Cadeillac,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

That works for me. I really appreciate the transparency

texasspacejoey,

Anything “easily googleable” should be removed on site.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Fair enough. I didn’t think a mod would actually see that comment haha. I’m impressed though!

    WASD + mouse aim in FPS. Wolf3d, Doom1 and Blakestone used the arrow keys, spacebar and Ctrl back in the day. The arrows were turn, not strafe too.

    I reckon it was some friends of mine in the 90s in Box Hill, Melbourne, Victoria who were the first to use WASD/mouse aim. Share house above a shop at the end of a tram line.

    Been playing “the isle” recently. Game has had/still has some questionable development happening around it, however, dinosaur. I’ve been enjoying it.

    pm_me_anime_thighs, do games w Is 4gb vram enough to run read dead redemtion 2?

    I played rdr2 on a 1060 3gb before I upgraded my card. I had to turn pretty much everything down to low except for texture quality, keep that high or at least medium cuz anything lower and it straight up becomes a ps2 game. Was able to get around 50 fps most of the time, up to 60 indoors and 30-40 in saint denis. Your 4gb card should get better performance than that due to higher vram tho.
