@Sir_Kevin@discuss.online avatar

PCVR is where the high quality games are. Quest and Pico do have quite a few gems now though!

elkaki,

You can always connect your quest to pc right? (Hope OP has a good computer to do that, haven’t checked the quest 2 but I remember how much worse roborecall looked on quest 1)

Sir_Kevin,

Indeed you can. Same with Pico.

Vampire Survivors

GrimReaperCZ,

I keep hearing about this one. I need to try it one day.

gerbal,

It’s $5 and brilliant 40+ hour game with excellent mechanical complexity

bamboo,

I just discovered this game this past weekend and it is sooo good. I wanted a fairly mindless “kill a bunch of guys and keep my hand busy” type of game, and that’s exactly what I got.

alliha, do gaming w What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

A survival game akin to rimworld, banished or project zomboid except food is insanely realistic. Crops take ages to grow, hunting a deer should be a massive victory that secures you for a while, you could become nutrient-deficient by only plowing down heads of cabbage, and so on…

TheTrueLinuxDev,

I would say Project Zombiod the closest one on that list. Just need a few mods to raise the hunger rate, more comprehensive nutrient stats, and farm difficulty scaling. The game already laid out most of the groundwork.

AnarchoYeasty,

Unreal world is a roguelike based in iron age Finland which fits almost exactly like you are describing except it’s a single pawn you control and not a colony.

Question is if it works Linux :)

Sharmat,

I can’t speak for the EGS version, but the game itself works fairly well.

Madiator2011,

I own original non steam version :)

worfamerryman,

Yeah it works. Well at least the last time I tried which was a few years ago but I imagine it still works fine.

Animortis,

But how do you handle add ons?

worfamerryman,

You will have to search for how to do it. I never played with addons. I’m a pretty casual mmo player.

Sharmat,

You can also use Minion too, just instead of downloading the executable, just get the jar file and run it through the terminal.

Animortis,

It’s been a while, but iirc it didn’t really work. Couldn’t find the game or something.

ShinyBiscuit,
@ShinyBiscuit@beehaw.org avatar

Minion is the standard now. Makes life ever so much easier on Windows. I really hope it works for Linux folks, too!

Artemis,

I run it through Steam as a “non-Steam” game via Proton and have also run it with Lutris. It runs on both 100% fine, if not even better than Windows. In fact, this game running great has convinced me to finally drop my dual boot!

Toxinflora,
@Toxinflora@lemmy.ml avatar

that works as well, but there is a linux client called heroic that works for both epic and gog which helps makes things simpler for setting up the games to work, so i think that would be easier than using proton or lutris

mouse, do gaming w What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?
@mouse@midwest.social avatar

I just want a vehicle game that is open world, with roads and trails, the vehicles don’t have to be licensed. I just want to travel and explore, basically a road trip simulator. The Crew, Forza Horizon, and NFS Heat/Unbound are the closest I can get, I don’t care for the density, just distance. This is why I know that it will never be a reality, because without having mechanics, would make the game boring to many.

Basically a remake or continuation of Fuel (2009), I really enjoyed the vastness of the world, it wasn’t anything really special, but to me I had so much fun exploring and seeing the distance of the massive world(5,560 square miles/14,400 square kilometers). The many regions around the map were diverse and there was 16 player multiplayer where others just popped in and out as you moved around, I didn’t really care for it much, but it was fun for group road trips or adventures.

0ops,

The Long Drive? I haven’t actually played it, but it’s been on my steam wishlist for a while

That looks quite interesting, I will take a look at it further. It might just scratch my itch enough.

mouse,
@mouse@midwest.social avatar

I hadn’t thought of that, I played Euro Truck for a little bit, it’s been a few years now, all the new expansions and areas, and I see there’s American Truck too. Thanks for reminding me!

themikeyj, do gaming w What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

I think I want a game featuring Aztecs, Mayans, Incas and / or Olmecs (hell, any “New World” civilization) in a city building, RPG or RTS setting. Not enough focus is paid to what happened in South America or American southwest

hamiltonicity, do gaming w Choose Four Consoles to Have the Largest Selection of Games

Quite a boring answer from me:

  • Steam deck, which gives access to a large subset of PC games and also just about every console up to the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era plus the Wii via emulation (no jailbreaking required).
  • Switch, which gives access to a lot of the best WiiU games as expanded ports plus some spruced up versions of Nintendo’s back catalogue.
  • PS5, which gives access to most of the best PS3 and PS4 games via PS+.
  • Xbox Series S/X, which has backwards compatibility with the Xbox One and Xbox 360 for some (most?) games.

There will be some slight gaps in backwards compatibility/emulator compatibility for some games, but I suspect the biggest remaining gap will be PC games not capable of running on the Steam deck.

Jaxseven,
@Jaxseven@beehaw.org avatar

I do currently have a Switch hooked up, but I’m thinking of removing the dock since my partner exclusively plays it handheld and since getting my Steam Deck, I haven’t touched the Switch except to dump games I pick up to emulate elsewhere. I played all of Tears of the Kingdom emulated, though that had to be played on my main rig since the Steam Deck would dip under 30fps too much for my taste.

sub_, do gaming w Gaming laptop or handheld PC?

Steam Deck seems to be a good fit. If you wanna get a gaming laptop, maybe wait until there’s one where you can easily swap out the batteries / components. I’ve seen videos about Framework laptop, and that does sound like a good investment for longer period.

I heard there were issues with ROG Ally, the device gets too hot, and the fan exhaust was near the SD card slot. So it frequently dislodges the SD cards from the slot because of the heat.

ugh, do gaming w Recommendations for open world games with focus on interaction instead of exploration or survival

Check out other Assassin’s Creed games! I agree that Red Dead Redemption is anther good suggestion. I suggest the first one as well. Maybe Fable? The second one was my favorite, but people rave about the first one as well. I didn’t play the first one until I didn’t have as much time to game.

This might be a miss, but the Sims can be insane with mods. You can cheat their needs and not worry about those. Sims 3 is open world and the best of the series, but I’m not as familiar with the mods available for it. There are Sims 4 mods that introduce murder (guns and knives provided of course), drugs and gangs, zombies, prostitution, murderous toddlers, and much more that I can’t think of right now.

Modders are fucking lunatics when it comes to the Sims. Someone made a mod for Sims 3 where you could grill and eat a baby. EA stepped in to shut that down…

Evergreen5970,

Finger slipped and accidentally deleted my comment instead of editing a comma in. Here we go again:

Someone made a mod for Sims 3 where you could grill and eat a baby

I remember this! It was the OMGWTFBBQ. I only remember a Sims 2 version, though. The Sims 2 version can still be downloaded here, it’s just not on modthesims.info anymore.

tburkhol,

BBQ

babyque?

Evergreen5970,

I think it was intended to be OMGWTFBarbecue, because you barbecue the baby.

Novemberwind,
@Novemberwind@beehaw.org avatar

I agree with the other Assassins creed games. At least with Odyssey, that’s what I played most. You can explore all of ancient Greece and there are lots of really good and fun side quests. Just don’t think of it as a pure stealth game, like the first game was, more like an action adventure with stealth elements, or you might be a bit disappointed.

Melpomene, do gaming w Many of my (paid) mobile games became "unsupported"
@Melpomene@kbin.social avatar

You can try loading the Aurora Store, setting it to spoof a different device. I'm not sure if it'll work, but its a no cost test.

There are also some G8 LineageOS ports which (if applicable) would upgrade you to Android 11. That's a lot of effort for a few games though.

romano, do gaming w Anyone else remember those giant scale maps that used to be in shooters? e.g. bathroom, kitchen, office, backyard, that made you feel so tiny?
@romano@lemmy.shtuf.eu avatar

There’s a freeware (open source but copyrighted art) shooter called World of Padman, that’s pretty much what you’re describing.

EDIT: You wanted “modern” but, it’s slightly less so. Sorry.

I think it’s in some way based on a quake engine.

I played it years agon, maybe i need to try it again after all this time.

ryven, do gaming w Where are all the good stealth games?
@ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided can be played as stealth games, and I really liked them. Note that they aren’t “pure” stealth games, there are some encounters where you cannot avoid fighting.

Also DE:MD kind of ends in the middle, so if you are a story player you will be frustrated to know that there seem to be no plans for the next sequel.

darkkite,

you should be able to do the entirety of MD including the final boss with stealth or bypassing it entirely

ryven,
@ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Oh thank you, I could not remember what exactly was in each game. The bosses I’m thinking of must have been in HR then.

beforan,
@beforan@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah HR had unavoidable combat bosses in its original release. The Director’s Cut modded them all to allow for dealing with them by alternative means, such as hacking, robot/turret control and such. But because they weren’t originally designed that way it’s not the most organic, and you can’t pure stealth bypass them like the original Deus Ex.

HighPriestOfALowCult,
@HighPriestOfALowCult@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

DE:MD was great, I really hoped for them to finish the story. With all the horse-trading of the companies and IP, who knows if we’ll ever see one.

  • derskusmacher,

    Adding on to this I heartily recommend MGS V. It is the culmination of the MGS formula in a mostly open world. While I love Kojima's bullshit, the previous MGS games had deep mechanics that you rarely got to play with because most the games were movies with an occasional game.

    The story is kind of all over the place but the gameplay more then makes up for for it.

    HiT3k,

    MGS1 is available on GOG, but it’s definitely got that early 3D vibe that OP doesn’t seem to like. I think it’s aged pretty well, considering it’s a PS1 title.

    Chemslayer, do gaming w Games on GOG?

    I love RimWorld, and I love DRM-free, but RimWorld on GoG is a mistake.

    Instead, buy RimWorld directly from Ludeon. Then you get both DRM-free files from them (to enjoy in the fallout bunker), AND a steam key (so that you can easily enjoy the metric boatloads of modding content on the steam workshop).
