No love for Persona 3?

iheartneopets,

Might be a controversial statement, but I love Persona 5’s music and art design way more than I like the actual game, if I’m being honest. The anime tropiness isn’t really my thing and I’m not a huge fan of the writing, but the vibes of that game are immaculate.

Game companies get greedier, gamers want bigger and better experiences for less money, investors want higher returns, computers aren’t getting faster at the same rate and the game industry can afford to treat it’s employees like shit because there’s always going to be a constant stream of new people who want to work in it.

Metroid Prime. All the music fits so perfectly to the environment, especially Phendrana drifts when you first discover the location.

Can you at least make perpendicular roads easily? I had trouble doing that in the first game.

theangriestbird,

Here’s a pre-release video from City Planner Plays that discusses the new roadway options. I believe even C:S1 added in snap-to-angle options eventually, which made it very easy to build roads at right angles. Unless you mean parallel roads? This is something that vanilla C:S1 did not have, but it looks like C:S2 has that on launch. The new road-building tools are one of the features that had me most hyped.

CarlsIII,

Oh cool, maybe I’ll check out skylines 1 again

Rentlar,

There will be a grid feature where you can make a perfect grid of city lots at once.

Pyr_Pressure,

I had such a pain in the ass trying to make highway on ramp and off ramps look good while also being perpendicular to the highway and each other. Ruined the game for me because I couldn’t get past the first offramp to even start building 😓 bugged me way too much

fell, do gaming w What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?

@Plume Oh yeah and this: Start the game in a neutral area or room where you can test the controls and sound are working properly and ensure the performance is right BEFORE the intro cutscene plays.

A number of PC games – where the hardware’s performance capabilities are going to change from player to player – have a “benchmark” option accessible, usually in the video settings, that does a “fly-through” of some relatively-intensive levels, and then gives FPS statistics (I think usually an average count, though come to think of it, a 95% number would be nice too). Thinking of a recent example, Cyberpunk 2077 does this. The earliest game that I recall that had some similar feature was Quake, with the timedemo command, though that wasn’t accessible outside of the console.

That doesn’t deal with testing controls, but it does deal with performance (and can hit a number of the engine’s features), so it does part of what you want.

A benchmark for tweaking graphics settings is also something I think every game should have. Just let me run a benchmark and tweak the settings before starting the game.

batmaniam, do games w What game did you find in a bargain bin that turned out to be awesome? For me it was Z by Bitmap Brothers which I got at Zellers for $0.47

Not quite “find your pocket change” but a solid value: Starcraft + broodwars for $20.

So, soooooooo many hours. And it came in a sweet looking box! Like the kind that people shell out an extra $50 for as a pre-order these days.

I’ll always remember you this way Blizz. You were one of the greats.

I got metal gear rising for 5 bucks at a 5 below. Everyone shit on that game but running around as ninja Raiden was so fun.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I bought Phantom Pain for like $4. I was really burned out of the series after MGS3.

But Phantom Pain is incredible! Giant open-world game where my main focus was collecting pokemon soldiers by tying balloons to their asses.

Enclave. I picked up the Xbox version in a clearance bin somewhere. It’s a really solid level-based action adventure game.

MilitantAtheist,

Worked on that, thanks for playing! 🙂

raptir,

Awesome, well whatever you did for it, good work.

MilitantAtheist,

3d modeling, weapons and some enemies.

I got Fallout 1 and 2 in a 2-pack for $10. This was back in the early '00s before the others were released. I loved those games so much.

I’d be living in the slums in Night City and have a higher quality of life than anyone I know in real life

mycatiskai,

Until some person with too many implants goes psycho and rips you apart as you walk down the street.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

I mean, how many civs actually get got by psychos in the game?

mycatiskai,

Probably not a lot, but certainly a lot can get hit by stray bullets by the response teams. If cops today are getting collateral damage and no accountability, the future privately funded police services are bound to be be far from accountable.

profoundninja, do games w You teleport into the last game world you played. What happens next?

Elden Ring. If it’s anything like my playing experience. I’m dead within 2 minutes.

Senseless, do games w You teleport into the last game world you played. What happens next?

I die. Just like I do in CS2. Shouldn’t have started again, I’m just too old for this shit.

chloyster, do gaming w Do you prefer playing with Keyboard or controller more, and for what type of games?

I prefer controller for basically everything except fps games. I don’t really play more keyboard designed games though, like civ, very often. If I do I’ll def use keyboard though

bbbhltz,
@bbbhltz@beehaw.org avatar

So no keyboard for Hollow Knight (nice avatar, btw)? I couldn’t imagine how horrible I’d be at a game like that on a keyboard!

chloyster,

Haha yeah no that would not be enjoyable for me. But, at the same time, the world record for smb1 is by a player on keyboard, so different strokes!

Also thanks!

frokie, do games w You teleport into the last game world you played. What happens next?

I go and live a peaceful life in Kakariko Village
