GolGolarion, do gaming w What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?

If you’ve never played Fear and Hunger, it’s really easy to assume that there’s no tutorial. At the very start of the game, a pack of angry dogs appears and mauls you to death. If you go through the front door, the pack of angry dogs follows you and mauls you to death. You can escape from the dogs in battle, but they’ll keep chasing you on the overworld until they maul you to death.

The lesson the game wants to teach you is “Hey, don’t stick around and fight enemies that will maul you to death”, and “Hey, you should actually check out the side passages instead of the obvious way forward” because the dogs will not maul you to death if you dip into the side passage in the very first area. The game has a lot of such side passages that you need to look for later on that will save you so much grief, but you have no way but to intuit that this is something to look for in the first place after being mauled to death by dogs a few times.

TwilightVulpine,

Is there a reason why the dogs chase you down an entrance but not the other?

GolGolarion,

Angry dogs hate spooky basements i guess. It’s pretty haunted down there

Witcher 3. Just huge walls of text, teaching you the most intricate details of some mechanics, and not enough for others.

Overzeetop,

Huh, I didn’t think it was too bad. The movement/sense/fighting I thought was pretty good, and that was back when I was just (re-)starting gaming and hadn’t touched a controller in decades. Granted, it didn’t go much into any of the crafting or stat/character enhancement strategy except as a “first time in” walkthrough of each screen.

We’re up to 12 linux users banned in the past ~day

Ormulum, do gaming w Doing things in games because it simple felt good.

Flying around in the birdsuit in Pilotwings 64. I could do that for hours. Except I usually eventually try to fly through a cave and crash. Gosh I’d love a new Pilotwings

llii,

I’d also love a new pilotwings in the N64 style. With the music it was so relaxing.

Really enjoyed the first one. Looking forward to the 2nd one. But I hope they fixed the stupid insta-death spikes.

Edit: Ah, the Push Square review mentions it.

Artranjunk, (edited )

That’s kinda shame actually… I hope the platforming will be more challenging then. Give me more of those damn Miriam’s trials!

Twink, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?
@Twink@hexbear.net avatar

If GOG develops their own Linux client I might swap. Until then I’ll be on Steam.

donio, (edited ) do gaming w What are some open source games you can recommend for Linux?

Some I don’t see mentioned yet:

Scarecrow59,

Zero k, RTS

root, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?

Depends on thw game and what sort of mod support it has. Obviously on Steam if it has Steam workshop support. DRM free on GOG is good but at the same time Steam has been doing quite of lot of good things related to gaming on Linux and I would like them to continue doing it.

Privatepower42_,

@root @vis4valentine is the game not DRM free on steam, too?

root, (edited )

The fact that when you purchase a game on Steam and it gets aasociated to your account is a form of Digital Rights Mamagement. Not as bad compared to Denuvo (depending on who you ask), but it’s still technically DRM, just not as intrusive.

Game purchases on GOG on the other hand, while the purchase is associated to your account, the game can be installed on all “your” computers and can be run simultaneously.

The only multiplayer game I play is Borderlands 2 with my girlfriend, and that is very once and then… So yeah, MP games are not the same for me anymore.

Well except for Jump Ultimate Stars, I always make time to play that shit whenever possible.

Tf is Jump Ultimate Stars? 😂

A DS fighting game like Super Smash Bros.

Shit that looks cool af. How are you playing that? Emulator, or?

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

Original hardware, but you can even play from emulator.

Take a look at the custom server, this is the discord server where we play each other and with this guide you’ll be able to set everything up.

And yes, it is cool af, here you can see some gameplays from some users from the discord server, it is not a competitive fighting game by any means, but it can get competitive 😅

idk if you’re gonna catch me on your servers, but i appreciate you sharing! maybe another adventurous soul here will follow your instructions ;)

@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

Not my server by any means, but yeah, I was even thinking of making a post about this, I mean, the user base is so tiny on Lemmy yet and it would be like promoting a niche game to a niche community lol.

buckykat, do gaming w How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?

The only game I’ll play with strangers is FFXIV.

PALONK0, do gaming w How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?

Overwatch 2. The casual matches are fast enough (10~20min?), and I like the teamwork in game
