NavySqueal, do games w Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced
@NavySqueal@lemmy.world avatar

Extremely scummy to not even list the price, but I shouldn’t be surprised since it appears they are going to milk whoever still has autosub on for an extra 10 bucks.

I actually found Lemmings to be a game that changed my life. I played it just before I became a professional programmer. Solving Lemmings puzzles is not exactly like programming, but it does teach you that there is a solution and if you just keep persistently trying different shit, you will eventually solve the problem. Also, it actually helps to be high as a kite all the time.

HugeNerd,

I loved Lemmings on the Amiga. A similar but much less frenetic game is Loderunner.

Dance Dance Revolution 3rd mix. It sounds stupid, I know, but hear me out. I really sucked at this game at first. My friends use to play every weekends at the arcade, so I really wanted to get better. So I really trained hard and became the best player in our group. People gattered around the arcade when I was playing. I was good enough for tournaments.

Now when I face something difficult, I’m confident I can overcome it if I really want to. I wasn’t like that before. Thanks Konami.

Braid.

I won’t ruin it, but – it is not the usual ending.

SleepyPie,

My mouth was open in awe for like 10 minutes. Granted I was a teenager at the time and easily impressed

TheMinions, do gaming w What game changed your life?

Mass Effect.

3’s ending didn’t quite stick the landing, on launch, but was fixed a few months down the line with the Extended Cut DLC.

1 and 2 were amazing. 1 especially had a great ending.

3 was amazing too. I hate that muh ending ruined another romp with the crew for most reviewers.

It was more of 2 with QOL, and it was grand, a little emo tho.

TheMinions,

Truthfully the weakest and strongest part of ME2 is that nothing that impacts the overall plot happens basically at all.

At the start of the first game, the Council is shown irrefutable proof of the existence of Reapers.

Then the second game fully focuses on doing side missions and expanding lore, without anything directly related to the Reapers (Excluding Arrival DLC).

Then 3 has you actually confront the Reapers.

2 is likely my favorite of the games, if only because I love the set pieces, lore, gameplay, all the squad members, and the difficulty level of insanity.

But the ending of 1 with M4 Pt 2 by Faunts playing was just so incredibly like the meme in the post haha. I do also get the same vibe for the ending of Mass Effect 2.

Furbag,

Ending aside, I disliked 3 because of the forced over-the-shoulder perspective in missions. It made the combat, and more importantly the sections in between combat encounters, feel awkward and rushed.

ME3 not quite sticking the landing is an understatement. I mostly remember the awful unskippable dream sequences, Shepard suddenly becoming utterly incompetent whenever that mall-ninja cerberus assassin pops up in a cinematic, and to top it of the nonsensical red-green-blue ending. I tried to replaying it last year but couldn’t get any further than the second mission because I just got annoyed.

TheMinions,

I think the Dream Sequences were a little too long, but were a good way of showing Shep’s survivor guilt.

Especially if you lose any crewmates in the Suicide Mission.

I will agree that the whole Star-child, Crucible, Kai Leng stuff was all pretty poorly expanded upon and should have been better.

Krauerking, do gaming w What's the video game equivalent of fast food?

Any game like vampire survivors.
Passive bullet hells.

Literally people say its the thing they play when they dont have the energy for something else the way that people use fast food to replace cooking.
Easy to spin up and there are so many knockoffs that are “fine” but barely different.

It’s easy and pretty much automatic but filled with dopamine giving stimuli even if it wears off really fast. It makes it about as addictive as fast food too.

Are they just talking about Super Mario Bros.? Because Mario is like 44 now.

TachyonTele,

Yes. Super Mario Bros (pictured) came out in 1985.

That was 40 years ago.

jj4211,

Right, but it says “Mario”, and that was not the first game that featured the character.

TachyonTele,

That's literally the box art for Super Mario Bro. (1985)

You playing concerned and ignorant doesn't change what it is.

__nobodynowhere,
@__nobodynowhere@sh.itjust.works avatar

The first appearance of “Mario” is in Donkey Kong (1981) where he is named “Jumpman”. The first game in which the character is named “Mario” is Mario Brothers (1983), an arcade game. Mario didn’t become a household name until Super Mario Bros. (1985) on the NES.

TachyonTele,

That's cool

FartMaster69, do games w Favorite Modded Console?

The PSVita is amazing modded, it has full support for running ps1 and psp games and psp home brew as well.

The vita home brew scene is also pretty crazy.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Simply modding it to have expanded storage is fantastic. I have a PSTV hooked up to my hanging room TV (basically like a firestick/chromecast) since it doesn’t need to sit on anything.

It kinda serves the same purpose as that PS1 Classic, except better in almost every way.

FartMaster69,

Expanded storage is such a godsend for the Vita.

Fuck those stupid memory cards lol

TemplaerDude, do games w Borderlands 4 | Review Thread

Very suspicious that review copies weren’t given to publications that are much harder in their reviews.

Dyskolos,

Considering steam had it at “overwhelmingly negative” reviews a while after release… It’s maybe somewhere between 😁

No wrong choice. Though if you like Skyrim so much I’d say you’d prefer BG3, ever so slightly

That’s where I was leaning at first too, but now I’m not so sure after reading some other comments. Tough decision.

Why don’t you request a refund from Steam? If the game doesn’t work because they changed it then I want my money back.

_spiffy, do games w Alternatives to Twitch and YouTube for livestreaming gaming?
@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

If you wanted to you could host your own server with Owncast.

Owncast

I set one up on an old laptop and it worked well enough the few times a mucked around with it.

nutbutter, (edited )

I would rather host PeerTube. But I want to be a bit discoverable. With self-hosted solutions, I will have to promote myself by myself.

Edit - I just discovered owncast.directory. This changes everything.

PeerTube is unfortunately not terribly well configured for Livestreaming. There is a tremendous lag.

I recently finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and I think it fits the bill perfectly. I laughed, I cried, I raged, I celebrated, I was in awe. Really a beautiful story and deep take on life and existence. I went into it blind and highly recommend that kind of experience as well.
