SocialMediaRefugee, do gaming w Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games

I like to relax when I play. My days of stressing out over games ended when I had stress in real life.

Tangent5280,

Preach. Problems of my childhood became like wallpaper when I got adulthood problems. I used to stress out when I couldn’t get past a video game mission.

    I’m merely pointing out the flaw in what you said. No need to bring up the other arguments when I wasn’t part of them.

    Nima,
    @Nima@leminal.space avatar

    considering lemmy is so spread out and there’s many apps for it, I think post formatting is down to user preference and choice.

    I’d suggest swapping to a view that will at least show titles so you don’t make the mistake of clicking on something or seeing something that’s a spoiler for you.

    my point is that its on the user, not the OP. especially given the game its from.

    AwesomeLowlander,

    (For the sake of this discussion, we’re talking spoilers in general, not whether a 5 year old game should be considered spoilerable)

    Wait, so your solution to spoilers, is to tell everybody everywhere to stop having auto loaded images in their feed? Instead of, you know, having the OP spoiler tag their content? Wow.

    murmelade,

    Just block OP who posted, I did. Ezpz solution. Damage already done so all we can do is block them so they can’t do it to us again and move on.

    Mass Effect completely blew me away when it came out. Loved the overall lore about the Reaper threat and how the different species were connected to each other.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn was also great in that regard, and the world felt really well put together, even though the lore wasn’t quite as deep.

    rotqew, do games w When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?

    Weirdly - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Despite whole game’s emotional atmosphere being pretty heavy, I think it had very good humor moments in it, I actually laughed out loud few times. Maybe a part of it is that it took me by surprise but I appreciate wittiness of these lighter moments.

    Great writing overall by the way.

    Plenty of jokes remaining in Act 3. Like Expedition 60.

    Katana314,

    I still need to start this.

    But I know the feel - games that expand their emotional range often get the best reactions because moving to an extreme of seriousness, sadness, or even humor, can shock the player.

    I’m playing it right now.

    !When Verso tries to recruit Monoco to go to old Lumière, Monoco is like “No thanks, after last time I made a promise to never follow you again”, to which Verso responds “There’ll be lots of fights…”, and Monoco is like “I’ll follow you anywhere!”. The delivery is a lot better obviously.!<

    Monoco: It’s time do defeat her.

    to Verso Please help me.

    rotqew,

    Exactly the scene that came to my mind when responding to this thread, delivery was perfect - especially that you don’t know the dynamic at that point yet. Didn’t play with french voice over but they did a stellar job with english one. They also must’ve had a lot of fun recording these scenes.

    Small suggestion though - I’m not sure if I wouldn’t hide this behind a spoiler, you never know which detail might affect someone’s experience.

    ISOmorph,
    @ISOmorph@feddit.org avatar

    Good suggestion

    devolution,
    @devolution@lemmy.world avatar

    Another thing I loved about the game is how much of unapologetic nerds Lune and Gustave are.

    biofaust,

    I really want to try it, also because I am studying French and it has full voice over. Problem is, I never managed to play JRPGs, so I am afraid I would be throwing money away.

    Amroth,

    You can play at low difficulty to make it less frustrating while still enjoying the beautiful story!

    MaliciousKebab, do games w Why would I buy this?

    You don’t. You play single player games like me and get to experience cool stories instead of dopamine lacking rage inducing PvP games.

    dependencyinjection, (edited ) do games w Why would I buy this?

    Bro the CoD ship sailed years ago. They just don’t innovate and release the same shit year after year. Buy something else. I’d recommend Factorio.

    mellow,

    Quite the leap going from CoD to Factorio tho. 😅

    dependencyinjection,

    I had an intermediary of Minecraft and really gravitated towards the automation, I then saw Factorio on YouTube and was like damn this looks sick. I’m a software developer so it tracks that I like to solve problems.

    Recently downloaded Satisfactory though to give that a try.

    I also believe I aged out of FPS games as I was pretty above average all my life but just don’t have the time nor inclination to keep grinding anymore to stay really good at them. All about solo games now and just vibin.

    brognak,

    Only because I had to explain the differences recently and it’s top of mind:

    Satisfactory - Main goal is efficient usage of limited amount of throughput. Resource nodes are static, and efficiency is the name of the game. My favorites usually end up a spaghetti mess of belts, everything being fed the correct amount of inputs and all outputs being accounted for.

    Factorio - Main goal is THE FACTORY MUST GROW. Your factory need more input to run 100%? You could figure out how to optimize everything that comes before it, orrrr just slam more out. Resources are randomly generated, and while you can exhaust deposits, there’s always more on the horizon. Explore. Expand. Exterminate. ENLARGE FACTORY. Usually ends up in a beautiful mess of a factory with bots zipping around, and the power flickers every now and then when the biters think they are more powerful that explosives/concentrated beams of light.

    TigerAce,

    @Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

    Freelancer is still the best of its genre, IMO.

    It’s abandonware, so you can download it for free, and the community has released a ton of mods over the years.

    Acamon,

    Oh no, mods… If it’s anything like skyrim I’ll spend more time messing around with mods than playing the game… But a bit of reading suggests that just the HD mod is a good choice for a 1st time playthru?

    Aielman15,
    @Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

    I’ve never played them myself, but I’ve seen some mods that completely overhaul the game.

    That being said, I would recommend playing the vanilla experience first, with an HD mod if you’d like.

    but the combat is a bit too hard for me

    I haven't really played since I was at most a teen so maybe the later battles aren't actually as hard as I remember, but if this is a bottleneck then OP may find later sections of the game's main story frustrating. I think the game itself is a good vibe fit and has broadly aged well, but something to keep in mind for OP!

    The pacifist route on Undertale is refreshingly wholesome and you just don’t get that with many videos games.

    Also, I loved Hi-fi Rush’s music-based combat and fun characters.

    I loved the world-building in Transistor. It felt like a more fleshed-out and artistic Tron setting.

    “Photograph” by Nickelback was released on August 8, 2005. There’s a chance that someone listening to the radio while playing this game would gotten a moment of fitting dialog from Chad Kroeger when they arrived at this scene.

    tal, (edited ) do games w Does a "SuperTuxKart Remastered" or similar exist?
    @tal@lemmy.today avatar

    I doubt it, seeing as it looks like it’s still being actively developed. I’d expect anyone who wanted to have higher resolution textures or whatever to just add an option for that to the main game.

    EDIT: It does look like they have abut 500 “addon” tracks, and I suppose that some of those might have higher-resolution textures than the tracks in the base game.

    online.supertuxkart.net

    EDIT2: Also, it’s not SuperTuxKart, but you’re looking for more-realistic open source racing graphics and haven’t seen it, there’s TORCS. That might do what you want.

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-vnkZyDghA

    EDIT3: Also Speed Dreams:

    speed-dreams.itch.io/speed-dreams

    EDIT4: It doesn’t look like you can sort the add-on tracks on the website by size, but you can sort by upload date, and I’d assume that newer tracks are probably more likely to have higher-resolution textures.

    Oh right, I have actually heard that about Fate. I never played any of the games, but I caught a lot of Unlimited Blade Works when my wife was watching it, and it seemed pretty solid.

    burntbacon,

    I’ve still got the original visual novels sitting on my backup drive, somewhere. I played through the major first storyline, but hadn’t gotten around to UBW and… oh boy, heaven’s something? Definitely was a great read, even after starting with the anime.
