towamo7603,

I liked Double Agent for trying something different, but Conviction and everything after was utter trash.

Defaced,

I really liked blacklist, it’s a shame the pc port is completely fucked into oblivion…I lost my PS3 disk in a move a few years ago and never found it again. I really need to get a new copy.

Prototype 2. I loved the main character of the first one and the idea that even a monster was not as evil as human corporations. The jump to him being a main villain in 2 was too abrupt, there needed to be more story reasons to justify the change, or they shouldn’t have made him a villain at all.

Final Fantasy Remake Part 1

They changed the story and introduced Whispers to the game, something about Fate trying to drive the story the way its supposed to be. Then they made Sephiroth the final boss of what is now known to be a trilogy (bcz money)…

My absolute favorite game got ruined bcz they decided they needed to “shake the game up”. And now part 2 “Rebirth” is some multiverse bullshit.

I hate everything about this corporate BS they turned the remake into. But, I have to live with it bcz its not my game.

Best I could do is buy rebirth used from game stop so Square Enix didnt get any of my money.

Instead, I play the original from time to time, and I have to try to block out the remake changes they have made.

The franchise was so successful, that Square Enix made idiotic spinoffs and added characters to iconic scenes who weren’t there. They’ve just completely ruined the original game with how much they’ve milked the franchise. Its tragic to me, and not many people care that much.

I really wanted a remake that made the changes that were necessary to play to a modern audience, clear up the confusing story points more fleshed out so they were direct, and maybe changed up a boss or two. Basically I wanted the same thing they did with Resident Evil 4 remake, but instead we got a garbage trilogy.

kadaverin0,

Funny, I said the same thing on Reddit around the time it was released and was fucking crucified for it, lol. I called it a shallow button-masher with FFVII aesthetics and bad fanfiction for a story. I didn’t get any coherent rebuttal besides people malding over turn-based combat and how rewriting iconic scenes and plot points is good because reasons.

NocturnalMorning,

Yeah, depending on where you say this people will absolutely rail you for it. I dont understand why people are accepting of this crap.

vrighter,

imagine having never played the original (me, unfortunately, at the time). Then, what are the whispers all about?

NocturnalMorning,

I mean, its not a terrible game. I just really wish they would have stuck to the original story. If you havent played the original, thats probably a good thing when playing the remake bcz then you don’t have a comparison.

Puyo Puyo Tetris. I put out a lengthy video essay about how this game is directly responsible for everything wrong with the series today, and a followup.

TL;DR: Outsold every main series game, and by an order of magnitude. Succeeded in spite of Puyo Puyo rather than because of it, did a terrible job making new players actually want to play Puyo Puyo and just led them to bounce off it and play the other game instead. But even in spite of how much I initially disliked it as a game, I thought its success could lead to bigger and better things for the series, perhaps we could finally get a main series game localized next. Never happened, instead Sega rehashed this crossover four times. Main series is dead, never coming back.

S_H_K,

I have never seen such strong opinion about Puyo puyo WTH?

I'm passionate about my favorite game. I'm sure you have games you're passionate about, right?

S_H_K,

Fair and valid point Sir tho you have to admit Puyo Puyo hardcore fans are a rarity.

Well, we'll remain rare as long as Sega does such a terrible job marketing this series...

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w what video game deserves to be in a museum?

All of them.

jewbacca117,

Rogue Warrior?

RightHandOfIkaros,

I said all of them, so yes.

daniskarma, do games w Which of theses games should i play?

You can try both, see what you like.

I still like Minecraft Java more than Luanti.

My main grip with Luanti is world size. You can totally get to the world end in a few hours. I like the infinity of Minecraft.

REDACTED,

This somehow caught me off guard. How is a world where you have to walk many hours from point A to point B is too small for you? Can you even realistically explore it all?

daniskarma, (edited )

Of course. I’ve explored bigger extensions of terrain in Minecraft.

Other example, a server like 2b2t would be impossible in Luanti. Or any big multiplayer server.

insomniac_lemon,

Isn’t Luanti’s world height way bigger, though? ~62K vs MC’s ~400 are the numbers I see.

I mean I get that’s a different thing, but aside from exploration it determines build height. Also to me it’s a more visible limit, because falling made it obvious how short MC’s maps were.

daniskarma,

Yes. But world exploration tend to happen on horizontal.

Also additional height is often used as a way to store alternative dimensions (like nether or end). As there’s is not another built in way to do so.

Anyway it would me nice to have the horizontal extension. But at this point is not a planned feature and it would break a lot of things, so it’s not something that Luanti would likely ever have.

Minecraft feels a lot more polished, it has more content, and more players meaning higher chance of your friends being on there, and minetest is… free :3 so if you have minecraft or considering getting it you’re not losing anything by also trying the latter. I think the project is neat, but it was not something I could stick with for a long time

Quake TF classic.

Fucking turrets in the dark ceiling corners with just one small red light giving them away before you get mowed down by the abyss.

Oh how sad!

He was the lead programmer on Arena, and the project leader for Daggerfall.

RIP.

pycorax, do games w First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .

What’s stopping them from doing what DLsite did in Japan by using credits purchased off site? Seems like an alternative business opportunity there.

amino,

you mean gift cards bought at convenience stores? or do they buy them using a credit card and then the credits show up in your account?

regardless, Visa and MasterCard have hegemonic monopolies on the market. anybody not using them will see huge losses in sales.

pycorax,

They’re gift cards that you can buy from a different online store that’s from a different company. Then you redeem them on DLsite.

Red_October, do games w Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?

I think suspicious is the wrong word. Suspicious seems to suggest doubt or a lack of certainty, but the criticism is pretty predictable. Industry forces could afford to ignore it when it looked impossible to get the signatures, but now that the signatures are in the bag they’re having to take a different tactic.

SOME of the criticism is certainly genuine and exactly what it appears to be at face value, but it was inevitable that those doubts would be artificially boosted now.

nous, do games w What's a video game that can run on any sort of device?(besides doom and pong)

Don’t think any game has the same support doom has. Doom has become a benchmark of sorts so gets ported to the strangest of places. Not normally places you would bother to port any game. It is done for the challenge of the port rather than any practical reason.

There are tonnes of games that could run in the same places as doom, many could run in far more places. But doom is complex enough to be an interesting challenge while being simple enough to run on very limited hardware. And has been open sourced while being a classic icon which makes it attractive to be a benchmark for getting to run in the weirdest of places.

Fandangalo,

The architecture of Doom was specifically designed for portability. If you’d like to learn more, check out this video. For those that don’t know, tl;dr, the game’s structure is compartmentalized with specific connections (interfaces). The game logic runs separate of engine logic. If you write the specific engine hookups, the game logic should then run. Also math & clever level design implementation.

Wahoo! You’re a Lemmy institution!

blockheadjt, do games w Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.

Copy Epic’s model of selling “Sbucks” or similar, which you then spend on those games. Problem solved.

aksdb,

I think it’s not that easy. From what I understand, the payment providers enforce that for the whole store, otherwise they don’t want to be involved. Quite shitty, but they have enough weight to pull shit like that off.

rdri,

We already have Steam Marketplace. You can buy stuff with your Steam Wallet.

Gaylactus,

You can literally just “buy” stuff, and put whatever your currency is, in your wallet. so the transaction was already made, to no specific product. How are they able to track that, is utter nonsense. This is just the companies forcing them to do their bidding. I mean if those games have questionable content (and by that I mean pedophilia or zoophilia), I do agree with that, and I feel that is a responsibility from Valve itself, not other companies.

De_Narm, do games w Current fit in the Witcher 3, anything I should be on the lookout for?

Yes, there’s a main story event in the DLC with the single best piece of equipment - the Professor’s spectacles. Buy them, it’s your only chance!

Also there is some missable witcher gear in the very same quest, I think. Just get everything in the Borsodi Brothers’ venue.
