Also does anyone think Morrowind counts?

If Hades didn’t have God Mode (which actually works in a pretty interesting way and isn’t just invincibility or whatever), I would have given up incredibly quickly.

Once I enabled it, shit started to actually feel fun for me.

Now it’s one of my favourite ever games.

I couldn’t get past the second area(I think?)of Cuphead, there was a dragon boss that was just a wall for me.

That boss was indeed tough but also one of my favorites from that game. I even have a shirt of it (that is suffering from some wear and tear at this point). I probably spent several hours each trying to beat both that dragon and the game's robot boss as well.

It’s a really hard game but I have to say learning to speedrun it was super fulfilling. Time consuming though haha

If I picked Wolfenstein: The New Order back up today, I'd probably have a better time with it, since it's been a decade since I touched it last and my gaming abilities have improved since then, but for whatever reason this game was ridiculously difficult for me, even on the easiest setting. It finally came to a point where I just couldn't finish it, and I'm not sure if I ever will.

bipmi,

I remember it being probably the most difficult shooter I had ever played up until that point. The campaign was genuinely so hard. I (barely) managed to beat it and the boss fight at the end took me real life months.

Gave up on gaming in general. Moved to Linux back in October. Had issues getting my games to play because of various issues between Nvidia 535/545 and Wayland, Xorg, or the steam/proton/lutris/aagl/hgl things I tried. Then work got too busy and I’ve put gaming on the back burner 'til I have more time to troubleshoot it (hopefully with new Nvidia/Wayland packages).

DoucheBagMcSwag,

This.

This is unfortunately why I have not switched to Linux as a daily driver

survivalmachine,

You might give it a try – it may just work for you. Not everybody has the same issues, and I’m sure I’ll be able to figure it out later when I have time to troubleshoot it. This is just a busy time of year for me, so as long as my work stuff works, I’m good, and gaming has to sit on the backburner for a bit.

Stillhart,

I switched to Linux as my daily driver back last summer and have been able to play every game I’ve tried with literally no issues. Admittedly, I had issues at first but then I switched to Pop!_OS, which has built-in support for Nvidia hybrid graphics. That solved the few gaming issues I had.

With how easy it was and how many games work with no issues, I’m genuinely surprised to hear people say they are having issues with it. I’m not even close to a linux expert. I’m not a programmer. I don’t want my OS to be a hobby, I want it to just work. And so far it has.

Fire Emblem: Awakening on Lunatic mode. It just wasn’t fun and I already didn’t like enemies popping up and getting to attack in the same turn.

ArumiOrnaught, do gaming w What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?

I don't think I've stopped in the middle of something without planning on coming back. If something is difficult I'm more likely to do better the next day.

But something that I know I would not have fun with is platinum any Yakuza game. And honestly, I'm glad this game taught me to not worry about not completing things I don't care about.

I play most games on hard difficulty. But i gave up finish Nier Replicant on hard, not because i got stuck, but the hp of the monster was way to high to have fun.

Deestan, do games w Games that force you to make hard choices

Terra Invicta may be too high-level for the emotional impact, but it could fit. You are playing on the geopolitical stage, preventing (or steering) an exctinction-level war between humans and aliens. Stage a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government, make it as corrupt as possible to drive it to poverty so that the faction that wants to surrender to the aliens can’t win the space race?

The Last Federation where you play as the last member of an alien race that everyone tried to destroy, and your last act is to prevent them all from killing each other. Maybe you will harass them all to make them ally against you and become friends? Maybe convince 4 of them to gang up on the 5th?

ripcord, do games w Valve issues DMCA takedown for "Team Fortress: Source 2"
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

It seems like it would have been a lot more friendly to have reached out personally first instead of via lawyers initially. Seems like these guys would have been receptive.

Maybe there’s some legal reason they couldn’t, but doesn’t seem like it to me.

Sorgan71,

how do you know they didnt

ripcord,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

I guess I don’t. I would have assumed the team would have mentioned it. Especially if there was communication, but it moved forward to DMCA request anyway (i.e. there was a disagreement or something). But seems like the team would have responded pretty quickly.

But yeah, I don’t know for sure.

Still, it seems way more likely that Valve legal just went straight to DMCA.

A new platformed to sink my teeth into. Im casually optimistic, but I have no attachment to the series, so I hope it lands well.

chloyster,

As far as I know it’s made by the Rayman origins / legends devs. Origins is my favorite platformer of all time and metroidvania is my favorite genre. So I am super excited for this!

It’s only 4 players but Baldur’s Gate 3 is so much fun to play coop.

ulo,

Agreed, and with this mod, you can actually have up to 8 players. I’ve been using it for a group of 5. Issues are infrequent and minor (e.g., one person not having a chest at camp, one player’s stats/inventory getting cut off on the overview page, etc.).

If you want to avoid the hassle that it takes to set up a Microsoft account you may try Minetest instead of Minecraft.
It's an free and Open Source reimplementation that needs no Java, and the game mode "Mineclone" is very close to the original.

Regardings RTS I can recommend Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

I you want to try out a business simulation you may look at OpenTTD which is free (and free of ads) over Steam.

And don't forget Among Us.

Another Sup Com fan.

Sup Com had a steep learning curve and a significant time commitment but it's a LOT of fun.

There are still MMOs. They can be a blast with a group of friends who consistently play together. Or Ark? Or Rust?

Hate to say it but World of Warcraft is the most fun I’ve had gaming with four friends. Most of the dungeon content is tailored to groups of five.
