gonzo-rand19, do games w What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?
@gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com avatar

Not all open world, but:

  • Dying Light 1 has a really fun parkour movement system (haven't played Dying Light 2)
  • Ghostrunner, also kind of parkour-based, really gets you into a flow state once you get the hang of the movement
  • Vanquish is always pretty satisfying IMO, both movement and combat
  • Jet Set Radio or its spiritual successor, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (different dev, same idea) are really fun, especially with friends
  • The remake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is pretty damn good
Chesckers,

Unfortunately Jet Set is not sold on steam anymore

Ah, damn. I did buy it many years ago, but it's unfortunate that new users can't access it.

BRC is an incredible replacement though. It’s not quite the same as OG Jet Set Radio, and I think that’s okay, but it is very clearly walking around with JSR’s bones inside. Besides which it has probably my favorite video game soundtrack from the past decade.

emb, (edited ) do games w Thoughts on Mario Kart World

I’m not big on the idea of open world racing. To me, driving between race tracks looks like a chore.

I’ve seen other racers do it, but I’ve never really delved into a game like that. Maybe once I do I’ll really like it.

I do think grinding rails and wall jumping around looks pretty fun in MK. But it could end up gimmicky and unexiciting once you’re used to.

Basically all a big ‘wait and see’ from my perspective.

Driving to tracks is 100% a chore. It’s made me not enjoy any new racing game in the last 5 years. I really hope this game has an option to skip that and jump right into a race. I don’t look forward to wrangling my family to drive to the same track just to start a race. I’m sure at least one of my kids would drive in the opposite direction because they think it’s funny.

MorningThunder,

Agree 100%. From the trailer, at least, it looks like there’s a separate “Free Roam” mode, and it will otherwise be normal Mario Kart. Also looks like they’ll maybe have races that will span multiple tracks, which I can see being cool.

I love these posts, you should consider saving them as pDFs and make them like a fanzine, maybe it could be a community effort, somehow!

blinkfink182, do games w Junk Store: BIG update on what is next

Genuine question, what does this provide over something like Heroic? It seems like the ability to extend to other stores with extensions?

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

It’s the integration into the Steam interface. So you could manage all your games through one interface.

It could have compatibility with everything in Steam, including achievements. But as long as it’s closed source I won’t touch it.

blinkfink182,

Got it. Thanks!

LovableSidekick, do gaming w Tetris

That’s a very old-school gaming style. Every game I played on my Atari 2600 was like that. You never win, you just play until you lose. I used to wonder about the possible mass side effects of this - were we subtly conditioning people to accept being losers?

    Adventure and ET both had endings.

    Ensign_Crab,

    Does a landfill really count as an ending?

    andros_rex,

    Hey - you can find them pretty cheap at Vintage Stock too!

    I don’t get the reputation. It’s not the greatest thing to grace the Atari, but it’s not really bad. It’s not as bad as say, the Atari Pac-Man port. Just a kind of mid-tier game.

    basketugly,

    I believe it teaches persistence, resilience, strength under fire, and humility. I love Atari.

    Blackmist,

    And if a game did have an ending, you’d often just get “well done but the fight against crime is never over” screen and be dumped right back at the start of the game anyway.

    LovableSidekick,

    I remember rolling the scoreboard in Space Invaders or Breakout past a million. It just starts over at zero - absolutely no congratulations whatsoever lol. Took me till like 5am to do it too.

    bundes_sheep,

    Preparation for real life, I guess. There’s no win condition that I know of :)

    LovableSidekick,

    I think you win if you have a satisfying life, career, kids or whatever you personally want to get out of it, and don’t have to be poor when you’re old. I’m not rich or famous but I feel like I won at life.

    DaddleDew, do gaming w It's so frustrating every time I remember to check the freebies

    I had to spend a few months somewhere with no internet connection for a few months. I brought my laptop so I can play games once I really got bored. One month in I try to open the Epic Games launcher it demands that I connect to the internet to give me access to my games. I couldn’t play any of the games on the Epic Games launcher, while Steam just worked offline the entire time.

    I don’t even have the Epic Games launcher on my computer now.

    @Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

    Probably 3/4 of my steam library are games that remain unplayed, and that I purchased with no intention to ever play.

    …but that $5 was WELL worth the one game in the bundle that I actually cared about.

    ShinkanTrain,

    Sometimes the bundle is even less expensive than just getting the one game, specially if you already own part of the bundle

    ShinkanTrain, do gaming w Stay strong this upcoming sale. The game you want but don't have temporarily licensed (AKA "own") is not going anywhere.
    PineRune, do games w How the hell is there not a Green Arrow video game?

    Honestly, I think the market is so saturated with superhero media (movies, games, tv shows) that anything that’s not at the top is at the bottom. I kinda know that Green Arrow is a superhero just from what I’ve heard and seen in other superhero stuff, but that’s about it. Most people that aren’t really into the superhero genre won’t bat an eye unless they market it as the next best AAA game, and then if it falls short of that it’s a bust.

    Edit: it may be better off as an indie-style, lower budget game that the fans can get into without the producers having to risk a whole lot, but with the whole Marvel/DC stuff they seem to have huge budgets and bigger profit expectations.

    villainy, do games w What is your favorite mod?

    There are so many… I’ll just go with a couple

    Fallout 3 Wanderers Edition always comes to mind for making that game so much better to play and more stable than the base game. I wouldn’t replay FO3 any other way

    Elden Ring Seamless Co-op is what ER co-op should have been to begin with. God it’s so good I put another couple hundred hours in to replay every inch of ER+DLC with a friend.

    cccrontab,

    The Elden Ring Seamless Co-op is probably the only way I would have been able to finish the game and the DLC. It allowed myself and 3 others (who probably wouldn’t be able to complete it either) to beat most if not all the bosses.

    I’ll check out Fallout 3 Wanderers Edition.

    simple,

    I had two seamless coop playthroughs with friends. While the first one was buggy since it had just released, it is hands down some of the most fun I had with them. I’m shocked Fromsoft didn’t hire the developer to integrate it for real.

    On the other hand, you should also know that you can play seamless co-op with mods. Seamless co-op with convergence mod is absolutely fantastic.

    Civilization V

    Just start with that one and you won’t regret it.

    AGreenPurple, do games w Is Civilization 7 not fun?

    If you have never played Civ before it would be a good time to start with Civ 5 or maybe even Civ 3. They are cheap and quite polished.

    In my opinion (having played Civ since the first game, yes I’m old), Civ 7 is quite ok in it’s foundations, but it’s clearly released too early and like the other parts before it’s mainly a game about optimizing numbers, not so much about strategy.

    Biggest turn off for me is the introduction of “rogue like” mechanics that give you to play certain characters and nations in a certain way to access others. Why would I want to have that crap in a strategy game?

    Overspark,

    They stole that and some other mechanics from Humankind, a game by the same studio as Endless Legend. It wasn’t received that well in Humankind either, so I’m kinda surprised that they stole it anyway, but I guess line must go up and they didn’t have a lot of inspiration themselves?

    AGreenPurple,

    I played Humankind as well, but I like the execution in Civ better (despite the bugs and unfinished ui). Butt yes, the idea want original at all.

    Overspark,

    Good to hear how it compares, I was curious about that but reviewers aren’t talking about it.

    Hyphlosion,

    What about 4?

    Never played it myself, but goddamn is that Baba Yetu song awesome. It’s been on my playlist for many years.

    anamethatisnt,

    Civ4 is the one I still play. I like my stacks of doom and could never get into the hexagons and no stacking units of later games.

    Overspark,

    4 is the best “old” civ in that it still has square tiles and doomstacks. Also the modding scene is insane for 4, massive total makeovers that make it a completely different game, far more interesting mods than any other civ game.
