simple, do games w Elden Ring: Shadows of the Erdtree - Review Thread

**Spoiler-free TL;DR: ** It’s more Elden Ring so you already know what to expect. The lower end of scores complain about re-used enemies and overly difficult bosses, but overall reviews are very positive. Two days left!

RadicalEagle, do games w The N64

I always liked the ergonomics of the N64 controller. The recreation of those ergonomics using the Wiimote+nunchuk was one of my favorite things about the Wii lol

themeatbridge,

The nunchuck was sublime (when it worked), but the ergonomics of the wiimote were ridiculous. Pointing at the screen required an unnatural wrist angle that wasn’t sustainable for long gaming sessions, and trying to turn it horizontal to use as a standard controller was simply ass.

I guess they want Pirate Party to win.

FiniteBanjo,

Pirate Party UK is very real and cool imo.

uis,

UK is one big Pirate Party

derbis, do gaming w Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together?

As a counterpoint to most of the cynicism here, this is how the company I now work for formed. Caveats include: the founder had a lot of money because he had previously worked for a big name Internet company when it was a startup, and we spend almost all of our time as contractors for other studios rather than developing in-house IP.

quicken, do gaming w Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better?

Play what you enjoy. The old games can look better because you skip through to the best ones over the last 50+ years. Many were buggy, had terrible controls or were just boring. You’re probably not wasting your time on those.

Sabata11792, do games w Half Life 3

I think at this point, no one can ever live up to the expectations for the game and Valve is too afraid to fuck it up.

limitedduck,

I believe Gaben said this specifically at some point

Thorry84, do games w Half Life 3

Half Life was always about pushing the boundaries of gaming. The first Half Life with their combination of story telling in a 3D shooter environment was absolutely at the sharp end of the field at that time. If you’ve seen the Black Mesa documentary you’ll know why HL2 was such a hit and how it was revolutionary at that time. After that they did some DLC, but Valve wasn’t happy with what they were doing. It wasn’t groundbreaking, it was just creating content for the sake of content. As they didn’t need any more money from creating games, they opted to not create HL3. It wasn’t till VR became more mainstream they again tried to do something at the sharp end of the field, by creating HL Alyx.

I don’t know what would prompt them to ever make a HL3 if such a thing even exists.

Episodic gaming as a format was the groundbreaking feature. It was supposed to be the future of gaming.

gaylord_fartmaster,

It was, devs just realized they don’t have to break the content up into episodes or actually complete the first part they release, and can call it early access instead.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

The real problem is that you can’t create content fast enough to reach the cadence that you’d want with episodic content. Even a lot of TV shows have shifted away from predictable scheduling since Valve tried this experiment (and TV, largely, got better since then too).

Ya gotta avoid their attacks. Then, strike them when they least expect it.

Why is this funny, why am I laughing

sleepybisexual,

Doesn’t work with comically large hotboxes and long combos lol

Everytime they land a hit on you, learn from it, and then simply avoid that attack in the future.

themachine, do games w Legend of Zelda

Old guy who has played every Zelda game there is. Breath of the Wild wins.

NocturnalMorning,

This was the first zelda I really felt like nailed the open world feel. I had a blast playing this one with my partner.

tacosplease,

TOTK overtook BOTW as my favorite because there is just so much to do. It’s one of the things I loved about BOTW, and they somehow managed to cram even more into TOTK.

Before BOTW, Ocarina of Time was my favorite Zelda game.

themachine,

It’s a super close second

Katana314,

I think my first was Majora’s Mask (I joined the N64 age late) and I’m the same. I wasn’t even committed to buying “new Zelda” until I saw they were upping the difficulty and having players be more self-reliant, and I loved it. I still can’t categorize the exact mode of fun people associate to “dungeons” compared to wide-open exploration.

lvxferre, do astronomy w After 30 years, I'm finally going to see a total solar eclipse. Also, Potato World is a thing.
@lvxferre@mander.xyz avatar

Three decades, two astronomy degrees, 5 years operating a planetarium, and 5 years as a guide at the local observatory later, and I’m fully prepared.

Me, watching a total eclipse 30 years ago: “MUUUUUM! WHERE’S THE OLD CAMERA FILM? I WANT TO MAKE ECLIPSE GLASSES!” Then I was fully prepared!

It was exciting. (I hope that those folks in MX/US/CA have fun.)

TheFriar, do games w How do you play classic Mortal Kombat?

On my game gear. With 8 AA batteries that will die before I beat 4 opponents

EvilBit,

The game where punching Shang Tsung in the nuts hard locked the game!

BrikoX, do gaming w Dragon's Dogma 2 MTX
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

It’s the same type of microtransactions that they had in Resident Evil 4 Remake, so it’s probably not so much a test as a limit they found where backlash is small enough that it still makes sense. But there are 2 big differences with Dragon’s Dogma 2.

  1. They fucked up the PC port.
  2. They increased the base game price.

Anyone that tries to justify microtransactions in a paid game is a moron. They were literally introduced in free to play games to finance the game development. In paid game, it’s just pure greed.

@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

I mean also it just seems like a case of normalization. You start out with slow meaningless MTX then you move it more and more. Hell its a bit odd since I'm glad there was some outrage over the MTX in this game but as you said its most likely due to the increase to $70 usd which is a slap in the face to deal with MTX in a fucking single player game but Capcom is one of the shittiest companies when it comes to dumb/pointless MTX.

Monster Hunter, Devil may cry, Dead Rising, and Resident Evil all have this kind of shit with very little peeps about it. So you basically hit the nail on the head on this on why there was such a big outrage this time around. Also I'm really surprised fucking Street Fighter doesn't, the literal poster child of pointless/odd additions which in a funny way has actually only gotten better in the digital age. I'm not a big fighting game fan but season passes have sort of solved having so many fucking editions of a single game. Like holy shit there were 5 fucking versions of Street Fighter 2 in a span of 3 years. 3 versions of SF3 in 3 years.

Edit: marked by bold, I was tired when writing this comment and seems I just forgot to finish my full thought before posting.

Had no idea this was happening, but now I’m gonna follow the crap out of this. Thanks for sharing!

PatheticGroundThing, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

Worth noting that the boomer wojak meme started as “That 30 year old boomer”. It was never about actual Baby Boomers.

honey_im_meat_grinding,

This is it, notice how Google Trends[1] shows a rise in “30 year old boomer” not long before “boomer shooter” becomes more commonplace. It’s just the whole applying “boomer” to things like being stuck in their ways or boomer-like behavior, rather than age, that took off a few years back.
