Blackmist, do gaming w Responsible Adult say no to Store Exclusive.

TFW PS5 only.

glitchdx,

does playstation even have exclusives anymore?

Blackmist,

Mostly seems to be timed these days.

Bloodborne still MIA though.

Console exclusives have a logic to them, it takes extra time and money to translate a game to be playable on different hardware.

Store exclusives do not make sense. No game is only purchasable at GameStop, and the only reason for it is to avoid competition.

Psythik,

Both major consoles run on x86 hardware now. I mean, if a bunch of Brazilians can hack the PS5 version of Spider-Man 2 to run natively on PC, it can’t be that difficult for a AAA studio to port their console exclusives to PC.

Being x86 or not doesn’t have much impact. The CPU instruction set is dealt with by the compiler, and the only differences that show through will be which memory access bugs and race conditions end up having symptoms. The effort comes in because the GPU is programmed completely differently, so a lot of the rendering code needs to be rewritten from scratch, most PCs with good GPUs don’t have unified memory, so you need to manage when things are transferred to the GPU and back, and you’re not targeting one single piece of hardware, but instead many different ones that support different features, perform differently when asked to do the same thing, do different things in cases where the API specification says they can, and do different things when there’s a graphics driver bug.

Things aren’t as complicated as they were when porting things to and from the PS3, which had co-processors that had to be managed separately, or from the Dreamcast, which had a GPU that supported a bunch of things that couldn’t be done on a PC GPU until around 2010. The change wasn’t down to the CPU, and was instead that consoles no longer have weird extra hardware that PCs don’t, so you can typically just try and do the same things in the same ways and it’ll almost always be possible.

jarfil, do gaming w anyone know any good android games?

What kind of handheld, what genre, open source or anything goes…?

There are many decent games, as in “none or optional ads, not pay to win”. Some P2W can be played up to a certain point before they become obnoxious.

Recently I’ve been playing casual/idle ones:

  • Rush Royale
  • Raid Rush
  • Pocket Champs
  • Capybara Go

Before that, I went through a phase of RTS:

  • Last War
  • Top Heroes
  • Million Lords

Before that… don’t remember anymore, I keep switching genres every few months 🤷

  • OpenTTD: Open Source and available for free.
  • Settlers 2 via some DosBOX version. Back when I still used Android I used Dosbox Turbo, but it seems to have been removed from the Play Store. No clue which DosBOX build for Anrdoid is good nowadays…
  • 2048: Open Source and free puzzle game
  • Threes: Puzzle game similar to 2048
  • Cogs: Puzzle game. No clue how to find it on the play store, but it’s available at humblebundle.
  • Slay the Spire: Deck Builder roguelike.
  • Space Chem: Zachlike puzzle game. (Actually not only zachlike - it’s form zachtronics)

and basically any Android game that ever was part of a Humble Mobile Bundle. Those happened before Humble Bundle was sold and consequently became boring.

It saddens me what a DRM shill you are

lud,

In what way are they a DRM shill?

areyouevenreal,

Steam I am guessing

lud,

Steam isn’t DRM though.

frayedpickles,

Sure bud, sure

Cavemanfreak,

There are lots of games you can play without even having steam running.

lud,

Yeah, steam offers a free(?) very basic DRM for developers/publishers to use but they don’t have to use it and loads don’t.

Steam is a marketplace.

frayedpickles,

Imagine a world where steam used it’s monopoly for good.

With great power comes great responsibility, and steam abdicated.

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

What is it you think Steam should be doing that it isn’t?

frayedpickles,

Refusing to allow DRM on it’s platform. How is that unclear from the context?

How is that unclear from the context?

Because it was in reply to someone saying

frayedpickles,

👍

frayedpickles,

Lol at whoever said “downvoting the claim isn’t enough, I also need to downvote clarification of the claim”

GOG is DRM?

frayedpickles,

Obviously not, don’t be weird

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

So how is somebody insisting games be on GOG a DRM shill?

frayedpickles, (edited )

They are not doing that, reread OP

Sky: Children of Light is a delightful game from the creators of Journey, and plays sort of like a Journey MMO

It has a splendid soundtrack featuring vocals from the ever talented AURORA, and beautiful visuals. It is also a great social experience, putting a focus on fostering connections and community. It gets regular content updates and its just super cozy!

sleepybisexual,

Nice.

Do you know if it has controller support?

apotheotic,

I am not certain if the android version has controller support but I do know that they ported it to consoles and PC and those versions indeed do have controller support

babyincubi,

It does!

sleepybisexual,

I’m sold

Put your game on GOG, so I can steal it.
