Can relate. Our home server has every single NDS ROM and several thousands of other games, that will all play without ads on my kid’s phone or laptop, but he will go straight to the shitty browser games and feel totally bereft without them.
To be fair, playing a DS game with touch screen buttons feels pretty bad compared to playing Fruit Ninja or whatever that was designed specifically for phone touch controls.
Even then, the DS is pretty specific for its dual screen setup, and makes playing on anything that isnt a DS or similar form factor feel pretty unapproachable. Have you tried other consoles, like the PSP? Since it only has one screen, and does not have touch support, it can feel like it was designed for normal console style play.
Its only a suggestion, there may be other reasons he doesn’t play. Maybe the games just don’t interest him?
You probably owned 5 games that you personally were actually interested in.
Until 2024 I was still subbed to Amazon Prime. Their Prime Gaming (Shipping and the Twitch Prime sub were the draw I would never pay for Prime Gaming) campaign throws a fuck ton of games at you constantly. A lot of good games too. Keys for GOG/EGS,/their own launcher/some shitty pixel hunting adventure games website.
I also redeem the EGS weekly free game(s) most weeks. I miss a few.
There’s 500 games in my Heroic Games Launcher list combined. I’ve played 2 of them.
Tough thing about being a kid. Lot of free time, no responsibilities, and no idea what you wanna do with it. In a sense anyway. When I was a kid yeah we had fewer choices. But I also had limited experience. Didn’t know what I might like or not.
I see my niece grow up with a similar attitude about movies. “I would not like that.” You can’t know that. So many games, you just don’t know which ones to play. You don’t have the criteria in mind to make an educated guess about what might be a good match for you.
Even better, Remedy themselves are! Rockstar are publishing it though as they own the rights to the IP. I’m super curious about how they’ll turn out, especially with James McCaffrey’s passing.
It’s rare for me to replay games too. Ever since i’ve started doing these screenshots though i’ve started going back and replaying a few things. It’s really changed the way i play games
I played them when they were released, and they were such great games for their time. Don’t remember much about the story though, some dream sequences, and there was some subway in start of the first game I believe, remember trying the slow-mo from different angles there.
Far Cry Blood Dragon’s tutorial section. The game is very aware of how impatient gamers are to get to the killing, and milks it for all the time it can while the PC grumbles about annoying tutorial sections. They throw in a ton of extra dialog boxes like accompanying reading recommendations, obvious tips,etc.
The whole game is meta and corny on purpose. If you like '80s action movies and sci-fi, they packed just about every trope possible into this thing. Heavily recommend if you haven’t played it.
In Drake of The 99 Dragons, each time you die, (which happens often), you get roasted and humiliated by some gods in the after life for 10 seconds before they allow you to revive again. This has absolutely no reason to be here, except for doubling the loading screen time.
Could also mention, in the 6th installment of Touhou Project, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, if you play on easy, the game won’t even let you fight the final boss, mocking your pride on such simple level, and this game mode is usually commented as child play by the games in the whole franchise.
