sleepybisexual, do gaming w Let's discuss: Nintendo DS

I have an n3ds xl

Its retired but it was the best handheld (besides the awful cstick Its a beautiful machine,

Rai,

If you rip out the C-Stick and replace it with a PSP-1000 joystick, it makes it actually usable!

sleepybisexual,

Would it still be able to close?

Rai,

Yep! Doesn’t touch the screen at all. It snaps right in, too! Made Monster Hunter playable for me hahaha

sleepybisexual,

Nice. If I find a cap for cheap it might be what takes the thing out of retirement. But I’ll admit, the age is starting to show

Rai,

Oh absolutely. I rarely bust mine out anymore even though it has every game hahaha (modded and R4 for DS games.) Can’t beat a nice round of Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! or the second one, though!

The people in here complaining about getting a full campaign along with PvE and PvP updates over two years for $60 are the reason we’re in this free-to-play, season pass, paid cosmetic hellscape.

Some games it was just the difficulty that scared me.

There were plenty of jump scare games that definitely got me like the early RE and SH games. Even Metroid games got me when I was a kid.

I haven’t tried a horror game in more than 20 years though!

The Cradle level in Thief 3 will forever and always be the scariest experience I’ve ever had in any video game, including horror games. It elevated an otherwise mediocre game to be a worthy entry besides the first two games.

Megaman_EXE,

I’ve never gotten a chance to play the thief games. They look right up my alley, though!

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

They’re great. Just avoid the reboot. Its developers didn’t even play the old ones.

Megaman_EXE,

Ahh, that’s such a shame when that happens. I’ll avoid it like the plague then!

How has nobody mentioned Condemned yet? That game is unnerving from the very first minute you start playing.

Megaman_EXE,

Condemned 1&2 are excellent. I would love if they made a game like that again

Blackmist,

Those fucking dummies…

I didn’t know about this game until today when an interview with the dev popped up on my podcast subscription feed, it looks good! I might have to go in blind

jmsy, do games w Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread

Is roblox a gacha game? My little 7 year old nephew wants to play but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate (as the gaming liason in the family)

AngryCommieKender,

I wouldn’t call Roblox itself a gacha game. That category is the ones where you are trying to collect all the heroes in the game and level them up with rare loot. AFAIK they generally, if not always, involve loot crates that you have to purchase.

Roblox has its own problems. As spelled out by People Make Games in these two videos.

youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ?si=ngjtGwhA5JH5FcEL

youtu.be/vTMF6xEiAaY?si=u1z_LYfOYrOMlUDd

Roblox claims to teach kids how to make their own games. At this point from what I’ve heard, I would suggest Unity Engine before Roblox, and I wouldn’t recommend Unity after their pricing debacle.

Watch the videos, and have a serious discussion with his parents about it before you get him that game platform.

retrieval4558,

Don’t know if there are gacha mechanics but Roblox has been widely criticized for basically using child labor. The majority of content is user created. Don’t know how exactly it’s monetized but i can’t imagine it’s good.

mrvictory1,

Roblox is not a game, it is a game platform where users make games. Roblox games, especially ones that are mildly popular at 500-5k active players usually have reasonable monetization and no gacha. Some have lootboxes.

I can’t believe it’s finally coming out. I’ve been following this game since it was announced 7 years ago. I’m even more excited now that the reviews are really good.

7 games per year is a pretty good cadence! Most studios are on their way to being 7 years per game.

Sas, do gaming w Is Dragon's Dogma 2 worth it if I already have the first one?

If you plan to do main story only, I’d say, go for the 2nd. However the first dragons dogma has bitterblack isles which is a giant dungeon designed to focus on pretty much nonstop action and multiple dives in, each getting further down and delivering powerful gear to help you get even further. It really helps to give you post-game stuff to do and i miss it in dd2 to the point of thinking about going back to the first one just for that part of the game

MutatedBass, do gaming w Is Dragon's Dogma 2 worth it if I already have the first one?

I would try out the original before playing 2. DD2 is very similar to the original but DD2 is better in my opinion. If you enjoy the first, you will almost certainly enjoy the second. DD2 may go on sale for Steam’s upcoming Fall sale, something to think about.

_Lory98_,

Yea, the fall sale is actually why I was considering DD2.

It’s 2024, and we still assign significance to streamers and stream viewers. No wonder the world is going to shit as fast as it is…

youju,

This is not about streamers, it’s about viewership during tournaments.

And just to actually add something:
Halo Masterchief Collection,
Friends vs Friends (you actually do need friends for this one its kinda dead but fun as hell),
Unreal Tournament 2004 (large private server scene),
Any entry in the Quake series really.

GammaGames, do gaming w I have been getting into emulation (discussion)

What games have ya been playing?

Gamers_mate,

The first two ratchet and clank games. I also copied the iso for the third game from the disc so I will be playing UYA next. After that I am going to make a copy of Gladiator/Deadlocked and play that.

Hundun, do gaming w What games would you recommend others to just play on easy difficulty

Uncharted, especially the final installment. On normal and higher difficulty dealing with the enemies becomes a bit of a chore: they force you to hide a lot, as well as waste entire clips of ammo on a single guy. On easy the game becomes forgiving enough food you too start pulling off cool stunts: swinging on ropes, shooting during a climb/jump, etc.

It’s just more fun on easy.
