polygon, do gaming w Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another?

I’ll probably get roasted for this but… Pokemon. It just seems like endless copy/paste and might be one of the laziest game franchises I’ve ever seen. I’ve really tried to get into them. I was there when the Pokemon cartoon started, I saw it rise to the phenomenon it is today, but damn if it isn’t the most boring grindfest ever.

42triangles, do gaming w [Possible spoilers] For those who played Outer Wilds, what was your favourite part of the game or your most "Ha-Ha!" discovery ?

I think the best moment for me was probably

spoiler for the base gameThe sun station. After way too much time figuring out how to get there, the music, and the story stuff to read there? Such a good moment.

strudel6242,

spoilerIt’s a shocking revelation when you discover the sun station doesn’t even do anything, when up to that point you might think to yourself that it’s the sun station that causes the supernova.

When I was a kid I was super into pokemon. I loved playing the games and they stood out to me for one reason: they were challenging. My first game was Black, and I got stuck on the first gym leader for a few days, but when I figured it out it was immensely satisfying. I would hit roadblock, I would struggle, and eventually I overcame it. Then my friend introduced me to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and it got even harder. I honestly think that the final dungeon of Explorers of Time made me smarter or something. It forced my dumbass child brain to think outside the box and find solutions on my own.

Then Pokemon X and Y released, and it was the most stupidly easy game ive ever played. And it kept getting easier after that. Add onto that the worsening quality and I stopped caring about Pokemon. My friend who is really into Pokemon hasnt bought a new game in years, he only plays Romhacks or replays the old games.

RedditRefugeeTom, do gaming w Comfort games?

Anyone of my simulation/management games. Whether it’s running a hospital, creating an auto manufacturing assembly line or helping some brave adventurers find oxygen I’m always more at peace with a single player goal driven experience.

Double jumping. Something about double jumping just always feels really liberating. It’s such a strange concept as well, with no analogue in the real world.

I haven’t seen anyone mentioning this gem:

Vampire Survivors

UnderlyingLogic, do gaming w Comfort games?

Stardew Valley is amazing for this. Minecraft was it for years and years, but Stardew is just like a nice hug. I adore it.

Hogwarts Legacy has also fallen into this category for me now.

Any good movement mechanics. Shoutout to grappling hooks!

@setsneedtofeed@beehaw.org avatar

I’m kind of in a spur of playing or replaying older games. Replayed Fallout 1 recently and I’m doing a low intelligence build for the first time ever.

Debating playing VTM Bloodlines or the original Deus Ex, because this is a sin- I’ve never played either.

I would like to hear how your low int build goes! I have heard that it will lock you out of most quests.

@setsneedtofeed@beehaw.org avatar

So far I am locked out of the Killian/Gizmo quest because both characters think I’m too dumb and dismiss me.

And big problem: I’m too stupid to use a slot machine. I had planned on using gambling as my money maker so this is a problem. Even with Mentats I’m still too dumb to gamble.

hamborgr, do gaming w Setting up a Minecraft server for minimal data collection?

Your best option to avoid unnecessary data collection is to just use a FOSS server. Paper (Github) is a pretty good one imo. It’s also super lightweight and has some really good performance tweaks.

If you like this one, Atticus, you should try out Deltarune eventually! It’s like Undertale, but much more refined. :)

I actually played Deltarune on launch when the first demo thing released. It was a fun experience. It does give the vibe though of being a lot more refined. Definitely takes everything he’s learned from Undertale and put it to use in Deltarune

no, I’ve never done that. I’ve never seen much of a discount so I’ve never had any incentive to

Oh yeah I loved OneShot, good to see others playing it

I also did all the runs and all the achievements, so I don’t have much to do anymore

I played world machine edition so I might have missed out on the full experience, but I think WME did a fairly good job at emulating everything

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m glad i gave it a shot, and managed to stay blind. Honestly really loved it (so much so it went on my favorite games list). I honestly see myself replaying this yearly.

It feels a bit empty after beating everything from all the runs to the achievements. I miss it already, which definitely means the game made the right kind of impact on me. I conflictingly want more, but don’t want the experience to be soured by more.

World Machine Edition was also how i played. I think the only thing you’re really missing out on (as far as i know) is the original map designs and Niko being able to die if you close the game, which honestly, is a welcome change even if i think the original idea was better. I know there’s times where i need to walk away suddenly

bestbry, do games w Dying Light

I’m playing lost records bloom and rage, and it’s a lot of fun, I love the stand by me vibe and it’s really well put out.

I used TrackIR back in the day but haven’t touched VR yet. TrackIR was awesome in Wings of Prey. Can’t remember if I played a car racing game with it
