Unless Pokemon counts, I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a JRPG. I have zero idea what people see in these except weebs getting horny over anime girls.

Katana314,

I mostly agree, but I have seen real diamonds. It’s just hard to discern whether the appeal is genuinely from a surprising and unexpected story, or exactly as you say, a noncommittal showcase of characters.

ArumiOrnaught,

To be fair, the Yakuza games are people getting horny over men.

Any sports game, like FIFA or Madden.

SatouKazuma, do gaming w Any interest in a Lemmy gaming Steam group?
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, it would depend on the games involved. And what even is a Steam group, anyway?

feoh,

Steam groups are simply a way of finding others to play games with online. The group doesn’t need to be game specific and could involve whatever game the members wanted.

I myself can’t really do shooters / twitch gaming so I hear you!

SatouKazuma,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I like shooters, but holy fuck I am terrible at them. Truly, the only genres I’m good at are 4X/grand strategy and racing.

feoh,

I definitely dig strategy games!

@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I’m really looking forward to Millennia. That’s going to be a nice new entry to the 4X genre after Humankind just straight up fell on its face.

cashews_best_nut,

Humankind just straight up fell on its face.

Hol up! I fucking loved Humankind - I dunno why people hate on it. I think if you play it without expectations of playing Civ then it’s a great game in it’s own right. It’s got some neat features and cool gameplay mechanics. It’s also got a nice clean UI.

Civ may have more depth but it’s on it’s 6th iteration and it’s UI is still a confusing mess.

Granted I didn’t pay for it so maybe I’m biased!

SatouKazuma,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I’d chalk this up to you getting it for free haha. I ended up dropping $40 on it, and honestly, it felt like the game was trying to be all things to all people.

Whoa. What?! That’s actually on my Steam wishlist. Shame it’s not multiplayer though…

cashews_best_nut,

I can’t find it with the Steam clien tfor some reason and can’t be bothered logging in via my browser.

feoh,

That’s interesting it’s a public group. Just search on “LemmyGaming”.

feoh,

And if you’re having trouble, others might be too. Thanks for the report! Also I wonder if it takes time to percolate out to all their servers.

cashews_best_nut,

Nevermind I found it.

There’s like three guys.

Oh no. There’s an American with a stupid name called “Forthewyn”. WTF does that even mean?

Oh god he’s from “Masachooshits” or whatever it’s called. Can we kick that guy? I hate Americans. They shoot people for no reason and their king is a talking citrus fruit.

Nope we need to ban that guy. I’m not even sure Americans have electricity. It’s all horses and oil lamps on ranches.

feoh,

We do have horses! Some horses. Not nearly as many as just about any other state you could think of :)

But mostly we have apples. And baked beans. Didn’t you watch Goodwill Hunting ? :)

GeneralEmergency, do games w Fuck Ubisoft.

I just want to have it available on my usual storefront, Steam

The fucking irony.

rikudou, do games w Fuck Ubisoft.
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

So, Steam exclusivity is fine, but other stores exclusivity isn’t?

Brokkr,

I’m not taking a side in the debate of Steam vs others but has Steam ever negotiated an exclusivity deal of a 3rd party game?

technomad,

Wrong. I never said I wanted it to be exclusive on Steam, I just want it to be available on there as well.

Why is Steam pretty much the only one it’s not available on? The fact that it’s on so many other platforms just makes this exclusion even more illogical.

FlorianSimon,

I think it’s a money thing. Releasing a game on steam costs developers money.

technomad,

It’s definitely a money thing, but I don’t think it’s in the way that you are suggesting. I think it’s a matter of them making more money (somehow) by excluding Steam. That’s pretty much the only platform it’s not available on.

Marsupial,
@Marsupial@quokk.au avatar

Ubisoft are a poor struggling indie company after all.

Not at all to do with Epic paying devs for exclusives.

Oh and btw both Epic and Steam charge $100 to publish on their store, so it’s not that.

FlorianSimon, (edited )

Keep that snark to yourself. No need to be an asshole.

If you’re going to be so aggressive, at least try to be correct. Ubi not being indie doesn’t mean they’re willing to pay the 30% fee Steam asks gamedevs on sales, which amounts to a lot of money at the end or the day at that scale. We’re talking hundreds of thousands of copies sold.

That, and POP is not an Epic exclusive. It’s on Ubisoft’s own launcher.

Marsupial,
@Marsupial@quokk.au avatar

Grow the fuck up you child. A bit of sarcasm and you’re crying about “aggressive”?

FlorianSimon,

Reported. Someone needs to go out and touch grass.

Marsupial,

It’s pathetic that a grown adult cannot handle sarcasm thats not even directed at them without crying and playing a victim.

Pantsofmagic,

cottonmon,
@cottonmon@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely greed, Ubisoft did the same thing in 2019 because they didn’t want to pay Steams 30% cut.

shani66,

Gog exclusivity would be cool, epic not so much.

MxM111,

Did he say it should be STEAM exclusive?

Macaroni_ninja,
@Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world avatar

I think a million times people discussed this and ubi and epic store clients are far inferior compared to steam. People have all the rights to not want their game collection spread across half a dozen platforms.

I personally don’t buy anything Ubisoft mainly because their launcher is pure garbage and I hate it with passion.

Steam made me stop pirating games, Epic and Ubi made me overcome my FOMO and be a patient gamer.

Life is too short to worry about what people think. If you like the game, play it! That being said, Valheim has an older player base and scratches the same itch.

Play Java edition and play large modpacks. The servers I’ve played on have an average age of 25-35.

Enkers,

Yeah, this, not too many kids playing GT:NH.

haui_lemmy,

Thanks for the suggestion. I already host a couple java servers which is what keeps me playing. Its the changes to the game itself that keep me guessing as well as the low key fear that java may get discontinued at some point because bedrock make number go up.

Annoyed_Crabby, do games w What is the next "grown up game" now that Minecraft only goes for children?

Why spend time worry about what toxic gamer think?

haui_lemmy,

I dont. My point was the game changed to cater to a different audience and I am fed up by it.

DeGandalf,
@DeGandalf@kbin.social avatar

Sure, the Mojang team itself tried to make it more accessible, which is a very reasonable thing to do for any game really. I know there are many games, where a wiki is mandatory, buta game should explain itself, so I understand why they did that.

However (although I haven't really followed it) the community still seems to be pretty much the same as before to me. If anything the stuff they archieved is even bigger, than back then. Stuff like Distant Horizons or the Create Mod could simply nit have existed back then.

What I'm getting at is that you don't have to play vanilla and there are more possibilities than ever before (including lots and lots of modpacks and servers, which definitely do need an external wiki)

haui_lemmy,

I like your take. I‘m perfectly fine with differing opinions.

Back when I started playing there was no community so the difference is pretty large but I get how its cool to many and bad for a few. As it is often in life. Is that reason to be frustrated? For me it is.

DeGandalf,
@DeGandalf@kbin.social avatar

"Back when I started playing there was no community"
I'm sorry but that's just... false. Maybe you weren't aware of it, but even in the Beta there were already mods. I myself started playing in 1.0 and played until around 1.7 and basically all the playtime I have was playing on servers or modding the shit out of this game. (Back then you actually needed to do that manually, as mod launchers weren't a thing)

So I'm still a bit confused as to why you are frustrated, since noone is forcing you to play the new vanilla versions.

haui_lemmy,

I know it’s great to be right and all but showing others why their experiences actually didnt happen does not benefit anyone. I played minecraft in the browser first, approximately the classic version. You can argue all you want that more than two people technically constitute a community but it doesn’t in reality.

gnomesaiyan,
@gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world avatar

I started playing Minecraft Oct. 2010, and despite what you think, it wasn’t a “grown up game” and a LOT of kids played back then as they do today.

Meanwhile, if you don’t like the state of affairs in gaming, make your own game or help someone make one, but don’t come here with a shitty attitude that nothing meets your expectations. Be the change you want to see.

haui_lemmy,

You can keep your condescending attitude to yourself. I‘m perfectly allowed to be unhappy about things and you cant do shit against it. Don’t like it? your problem.

The game was totally different back then and just because kids played it in 2010 doesnt mean I‘m wrong to think it didnt need the additions I mentioned.

wildginger,

The game is really not that different, you can play old versions just fine, and mods easily add or subtract any mechanics you like.

Its not minecraft bud

mozz, do gaming w What games do you think are unfairly snubbed when talking about the best games of all time?
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

Battlefield 1942. Vehicle combat, area-control mechanics, "realistic" shooter gameplay (before that term became an obscene word), and class-based team mechanics had all been invented before, but the way it brought them together and the degree to which it polished them to arrive at something fun as hell was nothing less than revolutionary at the time. It was so groundbreaking that (for better or worse) it basically spawned the "AAA WW2 game" genre that then lasted for decades.

Then, the sequels were so consistently mediocre that the original was more or less erased from history.

JillyB,

Then, the sequels were so consistently mediocre that the original was more or less erased from history.

I will not have you slander Battlefield Vietnam like this. I spent countless hours on a “heliwars” server after school as a kid.

HotPurplePeach, do games w What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games)
@HotPurplePeach@lemmy.world avatar

Many people love Stardew Valley so I gave it a go. It was fun for a couple of hours, but it doesn’t really have any depth. But you can go to the tavern and hop on an arcade machine with a really fun minimalist twin-stick shooter called Journey of the Prairie King that’s actually pretty great. It’s fast paced and unforgiving, and I spent more time playing that than on actual farming and what not.

tsonfeir,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

SDV doesn’t have depth? 😳

HotPurplePeach,
@HotPurplePeach@lemmy.world avatar

For me it was fun for like 5 hours, but I was massively let down after that. The combat is pretty basic so that got boring quickly, and the new maps pretty much didn’t have anything new except new vegetables and enemies with new skins. You learn everything you need to know about the game in the first couple of hours and after that there’s no challenge and no real reason to keep making money which makes the grinding pointless. It’s a good casual game if you like decorating the farm but it’s not my cup of tea.

tsonfeir,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

It’s about the story, which takes game-years.

HotPurplePeach,
@HotPurplePeach@lemmy.world avatar

Ok, that’s a good point. I’m glad you enjoy that part of the game. I wasn’t really interested in “talking” to NPC-s and giving them gifts so I skipped that part of the game and certainly missed what some people like the most about it. As I said, not my cup of tea.

smeg,

FYI half of the game’s content is probably locked behind social interaction. Maybe that’s a bad way of phrasing it, it’s more like there are lots of different areas of the game (farming, exploring, dungeoneering, and socialising) and they all unlock more bits in the other areas. Either way you probably had a bad time as you were only getting a small slice of the game (though obviously that’s fine if you weren’t going to enjoy it anyway!)

moody, do gaming w What does everyone think about The Finals?

I saw a $100 bundle of in-game currency and decided I’d rather not play.

workerONE,

But they just buy skins and stuff. You don’t need to pay to play, it won’t help you win.

moody,

I wouldn’t pay $100 for an entire game. It grosses me out that someone is expected to spend $100 on cosmetics. Like obviously not everyone, but that it’s even possible is rather horrifying. Especially since it doesn’t stop there. You can buy multiple packs, and it’s fully expected that some people will.

VulKendov,
@VulKendov@reddthat.com avatar

And it’s true that some people will, but those people exist whether the game offers it or not. If The Finals won’t offer it, then they’ll just spend their money elsewhere.

The door hacking in Deus Ex Human Revolution. Each one was unique, could be solved by skill (speed and precision) or with tools (consumable items found throughout the game). It was a mini puzzle game each time you tried to unlock something.

At the time, I loved it so much I tried to build my own version but it never went anywhere.

Kinda old school here but I really loved Pokémon Stadium mini games, also the shooter mode from Donkey Kong 64 was a blast, back in the day. Even Banjo Kazzoie/Tooie had some amazing mini games, I really loved those.

rustyricotta,

Me and my friends played the Pokemon stadium mini games WAY more than the actual battles. They were a lot of fun.

plantedworld,

The multiplayer shooter in DK64 was so fun!

In Super Pitfall for the SNES, there was an Easter egg hidden in a temple that would warp you into the original Atari version. If that counts, that’s my favorite “game inside a game.”
