YoTcA, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 3rd

Hogwarts legacy: I think I already reached the last quarter of the game and it is fun so far. The main story feels more like a side quest, but the world has the right feel that the books and movies left behind. Only the side activities become a little too much. I still keep finding new stuff I could do, but always in so many iterations that I already know that I will not do all of them. Why can’t there be just 20 Merlin trials that are fun and diverse instead of 100(?) that quickly become repetitive?

Official Blizzard, idk if you’ve played just the original basegame or the Brood War expansion. There is Starcraft Remastered, which has updated graphics and usability improvements but doesn’t add much other than that over the original.

An open source Brood War engine seems to exist but development appears to have stalled.

For SC2 the coop missions and the custom games are imo the most fun to be had in that game.

In terms of RTS genre, BAR is an epic scale free and open source RTS that feels like a distant cousin, but doesn’t have the deep lore that Starcraft has yet.

I’d also recently caught word from a fellow Lemming about a new game in development called Stormgate, worked on by some ex-SC/WC devs under a new studio. Gameplay has a very similar look to the former two.

sparky678348,

BAR is a fun game and I love any attempts to revive this dying genre

That stormgate looks promising! BAR is mentioned and bookmarkd.

Thelsim, do gaming w What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness?

Westwood, but not for Command & Conquer or Dune 2. I still remember them fondly for their Kyrandia games. I loved the art design, the music and the jokes.
Kyrandia 2 being one of my all time favorite adventure games, Zanthia was an awesome protagonist. Especially for her time.

It’s nice that their strategy games picked up the way they did, but part of me wishes they stuck with their fantasy games.

Duke Nukem 3DGets me pumped to this day.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

The tune’s but also the crisp crackly sound effects of the main menu navigation are inexorably tied up with it (in a good way)

Dark Souls 3

Even years later, having completed the game many times, that opening song still gives me the chills! So haunting, so beautiful!

Skyrim has to be on the list for the pure joy of it

Fighting Fantasy books

Grimpen,

Have most of them still! I think all of them into the 20’s, and hit or miss after. There’s been a couple of reboots.

Arcanum’s main theme gets my vote.

It’s weird. It’s terrible as music - just random strings with almost no recognizable tune outside of the first few seconds - but it sets a mood better than any other. It’s distilled melancholy in music form.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

💯 percent this piece of music makes me feel things

Super Metroid.

Spooky AF

PeterPoopshit, (edited ) do games w 'Great' games I didn't play this year due to requirements

Modern system requirements are such a scam. Like come the fuck on. 2005 graphics were good enough. Textures. Meshes. Uv mapping. Directional lighting. Do they really have to make it so hard?

Please stop fucking making everything need a fucking supercomputer. Oh boy I can’t wait for the next time developers decide my shit is last gen so I have to replace my perfectly good gpu just for the new one to melt my cables and overheat itself to death 4 years later.

Aren’t we supposed to be fighting climate change or something? Make games work on way less computing power. For. Fuck. Sake.

Level 5, I still go back to play dark cloud 1 and 2 every couple years. Now if they'd just make the third one I stead of another professor Layton or yokai watch that'd be great!
