I just beat Rayman legends (though not to completion) on my Steam Deck. Rayman Origins was better IMO. Next Steam Deck game is Disco Elysium, a friend wants me to play it so we can discuss it. Thus far it seems really well made but I’m extremely early (I just finished the first conversation).

Also been playing Killing Floor 2 with some friends on my desktop here and there. Doing the whole spreadsheet analysis of the game’s weapons and classes. I often can’t enjoy casual coop and pvp games unless I can do in-depth analysis and theory crafting.

Also about to start playing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (PC) on my desktop in my quest to check off every Ubisoft game I own. I recently beat Advanced Warfighter 1 and 2 on 360 (XB1 emulation) and can say they’re solidly enjoyable semi-linear cover shooters of their era. I even played Ghost Recon 2 & Summit Strike on OG Xbox before that (I like to play through the entire series of games from original release). Look forward to seeing how they evolved the series before they turned it into open world Ubi-slop with Wildlands & Breakpoint.

Also about to start my first playthrough of Last of Us Part II (PS4) in anticipation of the second season of the show. Technically restart, I’ve played the first 5 hours or so already, but lost my save file.

And finally, I hope to try and get back into Skyrim VR. but I’m already pretty overloaded so I’m doubtful I’ll have time to continue my current save this week.

chloyster,

Def agree on origins > legends. Origins is one of my all time faves. Legends is still great tho

If I hadn’t just seen an announcement about gpt-5 that ended with “I guess I’m retiring” this probably would’ve got me

I still don’t use gog much. Last game I got there was free through Amazon prime, I think. It was Lego star wars episode 1, and while I usually really enjoy the Lego games, controller support was totally busted, so I ended up not giving it much time. 🙁

Keep on claiming those free games! Its my fav deal in gaming now - for the cost of a Prime subscription you get a whole bunch of games, each week! A lot of quality GOG games, alongside Epic and Amazon’s own.

You can’t lose by claiming them, each month suprieses me with how much I get for an add-on to a subscription I already use :)

4shtonButcher,

I think we all lose by supporting Amazon 😜

I get it though, I used to use it too a few years back. Honestly never played anything I claimed through it

dj1936, do news w Indonezja - protesty 2025, post zbiorczy
!deleted2556 avatar

Wlasnie słyszałem w radio audycje o Indonezji. Prowadzący mówił o tym, że ruch anarchistyczny jest tam nieźle rozwinięty, m.in. infoszopy, biblioteki, różne grupy, od ilus lat organizowanie demonstracji pierwszomajowych (m.in. w roku 2019r. - można o tym znaleźć na YT filmik). Mówił, że bunty na ulicach są spowodowane m.in. przez militaryzację kraju, czyli próbę oddania większej władzy wojskowym, co kojarzy się ludziom z poprzednimi reżimami. Mówił, że ten i poprzednie rządy używają słowa “anarchizm” jako straszaka i że są miasta, które szczycą się tym, że są wolne od anarchizmu, a mimo to anarchiści w Indonezji są silni, bo od 30 lat się organizowali i dziś jest bardzo silny.

Hahahaha. After cyberpunk was shit and still now Linux support?! Yeah fuck them. If I need DRM free games I’ll pirate. They’re just a leech

Omg I always wanted to do this but it would’ve looked only half as good. Amazing job!

I just wanna be able to filter games by what goodies they have, man. I want my waw paypaws.

Chrono Trigger with my wife. Having a blast with that. Almost done Metal Gear Solid on Extreme difficulty. That game is a true masterpiece. The extreme modes in MGS make them even better if you ask me.

Finished MGS2 a couple days ago. Those final codec calls are prophetic and terrifying. Another masterpiece.

Playing through MGS3 for the first time with my buddy too. Good fun.

chloyster,

A fellow Chrono trigger player! I’m almost done with it I think. Feels like there’s just side stuff to do at this point.

HalfSalesman,

I loved MGS 1 and 2 but I’m some kind of freak because I just could not get into MGS3 and people fucking obsessively love that game.

AstralPath,

I’m kinda feeling the same. The MGS3 story/execution is much weaker than 2 IMO but there are some cool gameplay advancements over 2. Oddly its just much less immersive as an experience, but its still quite good.

The only one that sounds good to me, perhaps, are the voting rights. I’d pay for that. Patreon artists and creators do this sort of thing, and if this is something GOG needs to do to get by, then fine by me.

Downloading offline installers/backups, however… That would be locking away a feature that exists now to everyone that has bought a game. That means locking away a feature from customers who have spent money on a product already… Likely for the explicit point of being able to get installers that don’t need an online connection. If they choose to do this, they’d be desfeting their own purpose.

For context; I bought most of my games on GOG. I don’t really buy games anymore, and my Steam library is low absolutely massive, however. Both of those reasons are because I’ve been subbed to Humble Monthly for a few years. But ultimately when I go looking to buy a game, my preference is to buy from GOG specifically because it’s offline and DRM free.

Voting rights and extra insight are fine, but I feel a “Humble Bundle”-esque membership would work well. For $x a month you get a few games to keep.

I filled the survey as well. It’s mostly focused on “games preservation”. I’m not up to pay subscription for anything they’re willing to offer and even made sure to tell them that I’m willing to pay a premium for whatever useful content (games) end up exclusive to subscribers

AceFuzzLord, do gaming w What game do you really want to play, but haven't yet because you feel it in your soul that it will get a remake/remaster soon enough?

I thought I heard rumblings on Xitter about Sega putting out a post showing Sonic Unleashed recently due to the Unleashed Recompilation project recently released, but I can’t confirm because I refuse to go there.I wasn’t able to find any posts about it on their BlueSky Sega West account, so I have no idea whether it’s true or not.

If it is true they might be thinking about making an official PC port, I might just hold off on starting over in the unofficial PC port and just stick with my save on xbox360… at least until news comes out that they’re going to somehow have ruined it due to evil DRM and some sort of microtransaction shop that allows you to play as Sonic, but get this! With green shoes instead of red! That, and the price being a full $60-70, if not $100 dollar game for a decade plus old game, with the caveat that the Recompilation project be shut down because it hurts their profits.

I got this game for free on GOG. I’m more stoked to play it now. It sounds both depressing and thought-provoking. That’s my bread and butter where games are concerned. Love your review.

@Legendsofanus@lemmy.ml avatar

I got it for free too! It’s my first Prime-giveaway and the first game on GOG I have ever finished. I really wanted to try the Bioshock-inspired Close to the Sun but that game was just too heavy for my system

SchwertImStein, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 30th

I’ve finished No Nine Sols and Islets, now staring Unbound: Worlds apart, next in queue is Tunic and Spelunky.

NNS is a really great souls-like metroidvania.

Islets is on the other hand totally chill one.
