Ashiette,

If you really liked BG3 you might also like Neverwinter Nights 2 and DA:O. I heard there was a remaster of Neverwinter Nights 2 in the works, maybe give it a try when it comes out.

@Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world avatar

Beside the already mentioned Open Source Game Clones there’s also this list on GitHub.

As for specific titles, I’d like to add:

There’s also WipeOut Phantom Edition but this one isn’t open-source so I’ll just leave it here in case someone wants to check out the existing build.

OTINOKTYAH,

Thanks for the list, but i try to keep it in the PC Side of gaming, mostly i’m more familiar with that. I’ll think about If and how i add these to the list :) Thanks again:)

Yeah, I’ve seen it after writing this. Thankfully, half of these are for PC native games so I didn’t miss completely at least.

OTINOKTYAH,

I added them anyway to Addendum ;)

BlameTheAntifa, do games w I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?

First, the EGS software is really bad. It’s slow, clunky, a pain to navigate, and is missing loads of basic features that Steam has had for decades.

Second, rather than improving their offering to make it more competitive and appealing to consumers, they’ve utilized coercive tactics like exclusivity to force adoption rather than earning it on merits.

Disgusting. I don’t demand or expect them to rewrite their website, but those people are nowhere near even “neutral” status, as long as they behave this way.

Certainly not allies or friends I would support.

biorąc pod uwagę jak ogólnikowe jest pytanie, myślę że najlepszą odpowiedzią będzie ogólnikowe “to zależy”.

Zależy od czego ? Jeżeli np. weźmiemy pod uwagę politykę oraz religię. Jest to dosyć mocno stronnicze i może robić za przykład.

noodlejetski,

Zależy od czego ?

zależy od opinii.

Jeżeli np. weźmiemy pod uwagę politykę oraz religię

nadal ogólnikowo, i nie da się postawić jednej odpowiedzi na wszystko, co można podciągnąć pod “politykę i religię” – zwłaszcza że ludzie chętnie pod nie podciągają bigoterię. masz nakreślone reguły społeczności na stronie głównej, i one będą chyba dobrym punktem startowym.

noodlejetski,

Czyli w sumie zależy od opinii większości

tak, dokładnie jak w każdej grupie społecznej, w tym znajomych – większość się ze sobą na jakimś poziomie zgadza (bo tworzy grupę), czasem ktoś wyrazi opinię, z którą inni się nie zgadzają i chcą ją przedyskutować albo nie, a czasem palnie się coś takiego, że inni nie chcą już się z Tobą więcej zadawać. i jak w każdej grupie – wszystko zależy od tego, jaka to opinia

Strayce, do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

I like the idea of open world games. In practice it depends entirely on the execution, and amount of free time I have. I enjoyed the hell out of Cyberpunk 2077, but have zero desire to play GTA6 or the latest Ubisoft snoozefest.

Brotha_Jaufrey, (edited ) do games w What is your favorite indie game?

Lethal Company. It was developed by one person, yet it outsold Call of Duty. It trended from 2023 to 2024, but I still play it at least weekly. A couple Lethal Company clones have since come out and some say one (R.E.P.O) is better, and graphically I would say yes, but nothing quite matches Lethal Company’s charm.

It’s a scrap-collecting + space horror survival + comedy game. The comedy feels very unintended and that’s why it’s so fucking funny. You encounter very horrifying creatures, then see your friends die the funniest death. Then you hope to collect enough scrap to survive another day.

cevn,

Bro yes. That game is so good. Wish I could get my friends to play more often lol.

drosophila, (edited )

The monsters in REPO are worse somehow.

Not sure if its because its relatively easier to stun/kill/hide from them or if its because their mechanics are lacking in some way compared to lethal company’s, but I feel as if they don’t have the same sauce.

De_Narm, (edited ) do games w Why don't Oblivion and Morrowind turn the character model when you run in different directions?

There is nothing hard about 3D rotation, at least not for people successfully building a 3D open world game of that scope. Their characters can turn and you have a direction, there is no difference to walking in that sense.

If anything, assuming this is about NPCs, they didn’t want to create animations for that and just turning them mid animation looked stupid.

As for the PC, automatically turning the player is honestly a bad idea in first person. It can be disorienting for some players.

pulido,

As for thr PC, automatically turning the player is honestly a bad idea in first person. It can be disorienting for some palyers.

I’m referring to 3rd person. You can’t see the character model in first person.

NPCs don’t have a camera following them, so they can’t run in a different direction than what it’s facing.

De_Narm,

These games are meant to be played in 1st person and 3rd person is just an after thought. In this case, yes, that’s maybe just laziness or more likely they didn’t have time for low priority stuff.

sleepydragn1,

Adding on to what you’re saying: I think it’s pretty clear that Morrowind and Oblivion are more focused on a first-person perspective for the player character with third-person being a bit of a secondary concern. As such, it seems to me like the focus of the third person animations is on matching what the player would see in first person, especially since they can switch between the two with a single button press.

For example, when the player holds the “A” key to move pure left while keeping their view straight, it certainly seems more natural from a first-person perspective that they’re strafing left rather than turning their torso left with their head and arms awkwardly straining at a 90° angle (try this at home, it feels weird).

The alternative here would be for the character to actually turn their whole body left when you hold the “A” key in third-person, but then have their view (i.e. their head and arms) snap 90° to the right whenever you switch back to first-person, which seems odd and immersion breaking.

That being said, obviously it does look quite jank from a third-person perspective for a player to be strafing all the time, even when they’re in non-combat scenarios. This isn’t helped by aging animations, either.

smeg, do games w All of this month's 'free' games with Prime Gaming

As I post whenever someone complains about them not being free in !freegames: you can sign up for a free trial of prime, claim the thirty or so games currently available, cancel, and keep all the games forever without having to give a penny to Amazon.

Thanks for the tip for those new to this!

I seem to have injured some people, I get the stance on Amazon - no one likes the megacorps. But if you’re subscribed, I can’t see how ‘free’ GOG games are a bad thing to anyone.

Appreciate your comment in here :)

smeg,

As with all offers like this Amazon are hoping that it causes people who weren’t subscribed before to stat paying them regularly, and posts like this are kind of giving them free advertising.

It’s similar to recommending something like reward credit cards (where you can make money off them as long as you pay them off in full and never pay any interest), if you’re sensible enough with your money then you can get a freebie but the provider is looking to profit off you messing up or forgetting.

Oh, also the Life is Strange games are great.

Rai,

I enjoyed the first one very much.

The latest one is one of the worst, most awkward, uninspired, terribly written, bullshit games I’ve ever seen, though. It’s absolutely hilarious.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Oh yes, definitely avoid the last one, Double Exposure.

But Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, by the same dev as the first Life is Strange is supposed to be decent. But I want to wait until all episodes are available before I play that.

Rai,

Oh no, I meant Lost Records hahaha. It’s completely horrible in every aspect, to the point of being hilarious. The reviews it’s getting baffle me. It’s easily the worst of them all.
