GammaGames, (edited ) do gaming w What type of game do you want to see?

I want a VR shooter that actually uses the tech interestingly. Give me sections of Zero G with full 6dof. Give me quirky weapons with panels you slide open when they overheat and barrels that twist to change firing mode. Give me abilities that I could only use with a virtual pair of hands, like slingshotting grenades without dropping my primary or reaching into things to grab loot. And make the gunplay feel like Pavlov because it’s the best.

Easy enough, right? 😅

Edit: also use eye tracking to make the horror better

DdCno1,

use eye tracking to make the horror better

Imagine a VR game with monsters that always stay in your periphery.

GammaGames,

Exactly! Creatures that peek around corners and slide back away when you look toward them, monsters that follow your eyesight to dodge attacks, etc.

It could be great!!

The most shocking to me, is that those servers are still up and running. In a day and age of dead games, it’s a serious feat.

Brumefey,

Yes that’s crazy. The game has the Electronic Arts label and the servers are still operational. It’s not exactly the same servers but some people invested time and money into migrating the data without any guarantee that the player would login ever again.

The Guardian in the back has that look on her face like she just lost a bet that you wouldn’t return until 20 years passed.

Brumefey,

And given that she is in the middle of the Shrouded Isle extension map, next visit will probably be in a few years. I bet she will still be exactly the same, unaffected by the time going on.

Ashtear, do games w In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?

My wishlist is Final Fantasy Tactics, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, and Xenogears. A Xenogears remake likely isn’t ever happening so I’d be happy with a remaster, and it’s practically an open secret at this point that an FFT project is in development. It getting the Tactics Ogre Reborn treatment would be lovely, but what I really want is an orchestrated soundtrack. Here’s hoping it doesn’t get cancelled. 🤞

As a genre, 4X is still kicking around, but I’m not even sure if SMAC is beloved enough to get the treatment. Good voice acting would be essential.

iAmTheTot,

I hadn’t heard about Tactics in the works. Would be keen on that!

Xenogears! Yes! I guess I’ll have to be happy with Xenoblade

4shtonButcher, do games w Whatever happened to racing games

I’d play NFSU in modern graphics! But apparently linear games are not allowed any more and it always has to be open world and come with seasons and DLCs and all that.

Maalus,

The entirety of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty made less money than the first paid mount skin in World of Warcraft. That’s why companies don’t make linear games - because people will buy the microtransaction that required 1/1 000 000 effort of the game for more money than the game made.

4shtonButcher,

😢

Entertainmeonly,

I am slowly buying and playing through the old NFS games. I just bought Carbon and I’m going to go pick up MW before it comes in. I love the Underground 1&2 but Most Wanted was special for me. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

4shtonButcher,

Wasn’t MW open-world?

Entertainmeonly,

I’m sure it is. It’s been a long time but underground 2 was open and it was before MW.

polle, do gaming w Games that restore faith in the industry?

Factorio. The new dlc hooked me into a 5h gaming session at one eve. I cant remember when i did that the last time in my life. Probably with 15? But be warned, the game isn’t called cracktorio without reason.

kaffiene,

I’ve never really gotten into it. Might try again

polle,

The most important setting for me, was to set the enemies as passive. So you can kill them off when you need place and they will never attack themselves.

Xenny, do gaming w Games that restore faith in the industry?

Cyberpunk 2077. It was hated on release but it really has made a comeback after 2.0 was released.

I think cyberpunk really puts so many triple A titles to shame when it comes to the quality of the characters and quests.

Damn, I hadn’t heard that, that’s actually really nice to hear!

davel, do gaming w "Wirelessly connect with me" doesn't work as well these days
@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

I knew a graybeard whose cable rack was too heavy for me to lift. 30 years of cable collecting.

FMT99, do gaming w Games that restore faith in the industry?

I was going to immediately mention Hollow Knight but I see someone already did. Second thought: Tunic. It’s been a long time since a game hit me as hard as those two.

For pure fun addictive gaming: Factorio is absolutely nuts. 2D survival craft platforming action: Terraria is still king.

For space empire building check out X4: Foundations, after almost 10 years under development it’s absolutely amazing (but a huge timesink haha)

Oh and if you’re into semi-hard-scifi basebuilding you could give Stationeers a look. Sunk quite some hours into that one.

villainy,

The learning cliff of the X games is pretty intense but totally worth it. I made it through and just look at me now! I, err… wasn’t going to do anything better with those hundreds of hours anyway.

unmagical, do gaming w Can anyone help me identify this Xbox controller?

1000005360

Probably just used the design labs. It is a previous generation controller though.

theskyisfalling,

Yeh, it is unfortunstely a micro USB controller but it cost me £4 with a recharable battery pack inside so I’m not gonna complain at all. Just didn’t know where it had come from! Thanks for the reply :)

Breadhax0r, do games w I just read about early humans causing the extinction of megafauna and thought of Monster Hunter

So up until very recently, the monster hunter games had a theme of living in balance with the environment and monsters were only hunted to help control manageable numbers or if some had gone out of control. Then they were apparently specifically told to tone down their environmental messaging to appeal to a wider audience.

CodexArcanum, do gaming w TIL Stein Gate is also a game

Most people have the media literacy of cabbage and wouldn’t know a good story if it slapped them in the face with a huge pair of anime tits.

I’m light-years past caring what anons have to say about anything culture related.

Nino477, do games w Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone?

Baldurs gate 3

theTarrasque,

And divinity original sin 2!

Give a try to conversational games like VA 11 hall-A and coffee talk

dubyakay, do games w My mental health has improved after deleting games that have microtransactions in them

When I did this quitting thing from MMOs and FOMO inducing gachas that you describe, I suddenly

  • got a non-dead-end job
  • got a girlfriend
  • got a promotion
  • travelled around Europe
  • girlfriend died
  • travelled around Europe some more
  • got another girlfriend
  • ended up in Canada
  • got married
  • got kids
  • stuck in dead-end job again without promotion for the past five years

I still think it was worth it to quit though. My mind just gets stimuli from the seemingly simplest things, like looking at a beautiful tree on the roadside, brutalist architecture, interesting conversations that I focus on instead of my mind wandering onto the next mount or raid boss I will have to tackle.

And when it comes to gaming, if I want to satisfy my itch for twitch and a bit of adrenaline, roguelites scratch it the best, without the long term commitment to playing them for days or even hours.

But what works best to keep sanity is exercise, and with riding a road bike at least twice a day I can combine elevated heart rate with zoning out and Zen for stress relief really well. It’s simply meditative.

I think of the twelve years I’ve spent playing MMOs fondly, lots of memories were made. But I would never do it again. And it has nothing to do with self-control, and willpower to not start it again, although quitting cold turkey definitely required both. But it had everything to do with the realization that it’s a trap that’s a poor substitute for real life, even if real life has dealt you shitty cards.

I can spot the hazy, reality-disconnected look of addicts from a mile away. The self-deluding statements when the topic somehow gets brought up. And I can do nothing but feel a bit sad for them, and hope that somewhere, someone manages to gently nudge them on a path that helps them escape from this trap.

Valmond,

Wtf, is this some (copy) pasta?

If it isn’t it should be our Lemmy pasta with sauce IMO!
