sven, do gaming w Guitar Hero clone...with characters/venues?

clonehero.netThe best I have seen is Clone Hero. I had a good time with it in Windows with drums a few years ago. They are super slow on development though. No characters. No venues that I know of. But there are many songs out there. And it seems to work pretty well. Even did multiplayer over the internet.

They have moved around the song database since I last played but looks like it’s here now. rhythmverse.co

BmeBenji,

I got my brother, who is not Linux-savvy, set up playing Clone Hero on his Steam Deck while I was thousands of miles away and it played with no input lag basically out of the box on SteamOS. If you’re looking for a good Guitar Hero experience on Linux with lots of custom songs, Clone Hero is for you.

If you’re looking for Guitar Hero with characters, venues, and no input lag on Linux I have nothing to suggest. :/

z3rOR0ne, (edited ) do gaming w What JRPG combat is your favorite?
@z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml avatar

Xenogears for the PS1 had one of the best combat systems I’ve ever played. Tied with Star Ocean 2 for the PS1. There’s a remake which I think they overhauled the combat system, so I’m not sure if it still is as good as the first edition, but the customizability was amazing.

After that Grandia was fun, but I played it far less than the aforementioned, so have less to say. Chrono Trigger was very good for what it was, and IMHO was only matched by FF6 in that category (heavy turn based combat systems). Chrono Cross is an honorable mention in that category as well.

Lastly, very recently the Sea of Stars game had a very good combat system.

Ultimately these games have great stories, and that’s all I really cared about, but the combat systems could either make or break the monotonous grind to get to the plot points, so they had to be at least decent to make the games playable.

I highly recommend any of these games. Chrono Trigger in particular is highly regarded as possibly the greatest JRPG of all time, and personally I’d put Xenogears at 2nd place, with Star Ocean 2 at 3rd. But I might just be nostalgic.

FF6, or more recently, Battle Chasers: Nightwar

I like it old school.

The OG: Space Cadet Pinball.

There is one I remember hearing about a while back and I want to find it again that was really dope because it was a full on simulator and had a easy to use builder to build your own tables. People were recreating actual tables for it, though only those in the public domain.

MossyFeathers,

Space Cadet was one of Maxis’ Full-Tilt Pinball tables. Afaik it’s not in the public domain, Microsoft licensed it from Maxis. However, I’m not sure EA would actually enforce the copyright unless someone was making a lot of money off it.

flappy,

By the way, The Windows XP version has been ported to WASM, and you can play it in a browser.

kosmoz,

Space cadet has been reverse engineered and can be installed in Linux through flatpak: flathub.org/…/com.github.k4zmu2a.spacecadetpinbal…

Rhynoplaz, do games w Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics

Is there a “somewhere in between” option?

I played the crap out of the OG Warcraft games, and thought online play would be fun, but I realized that I play at far too chill of a pace to stand a chance, but strictly turn based tactics games are teeth-grindingly slow, and even if I’m enjoying them, I still eventually get bored and quit.

The new Terminator RTS can be pretty difficult but you can just smack space to pause and asses the situation, issue orders, and then in pause. It’s got a little jank to it but it’s a really good RTS with some survival/scavenging aspects and some branching objectives.

nogooduser,

I’m like that too. I can’t think or move fast enough for RTS but don’t have the patience for really thinking things through in turn based games.

Maybe the in between would be turn based with a time limit per turn.

Rhynoplaz,

Well, seeing as Hearthstone has been my go to phone game for ten years, I think you hit the nail on the head!

GamingChairModel,

Chess basically solved how turn based games can still be pretty fast.

PythagreousTitties, do games w Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics

I’m fully turn based. I could never get into RTS. StarCraft for example was never fun to me. I don’t know, I just like the slower pace.

Delta_V, do games w Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

I like action games, including FPS, with RPG elements.

Borderlands and Diablo - I like that you can just jump in and start blasting without really having to read anything about the setting or characters

Fallout and Cyberpunk 2077 - slower paced and less immediately fun than the previous two, but the action does keep the story interesting

Pure RPGs can be fun as an engineering project - twisting the game’s systems to create unbalanced character builds.

gaylord_fartmaster, do games w Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

FPS, but mostly because I no longer have the free time to finish a 50-100 hour RPG.

ByteOnBikes, do gaming w What EldenSoulsBorne boss gave you an embarrassing amount of trouble?

Maybe not a pushover, but I died an embarrassingly large number of times.

In Elden Ring, some of the evergaols and bosses wandering the worldmap were harder than actual bosses. Ringleader’s Evergaol took me like 10 tries.

The dancer in DS3 made my wife and kids check up on me.

Miimikko,

Ah hello there ‘Early Dancer PTSD’, my old friend.

Bojimbo,

Dancer has my favorite armor, so I always get her early. It’s a nightmare.

MrMcGasion,

Yeah, Ringleader’s Evergaol was rough, took me over 30 tries. I was a bit under-leveled when I first found it and after getting my ass handed to me for 10 or so attempts I decided to mark it and return later, went back after leveling up a bit and died another 15 times or so. Came back a 3rd time after defeating Mohg on my 4th attempt and finally cleared the evergaol after about 8 more attempts.

DoucheBagMcSwag, do gaming w Game Dependency Graph for Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

I still cannot believe that had you put a dog in your pocket. No way anyone could have guessed that

Damage,

In Day of the Tentacles you had to put a hamster in the freezer to send it to the future

In Full Throttle you had to unleash a bunch of toy bunnies on a freaking minefield to harvest their batteries
