    Strongly recommended! It’s one of those rare games where you don’t want a “sequel” because there’s no way it would be in the spirit of the first game. Especially today.

    I really don’t want “2” to be a thing. The “trailer” felt like an insult for using the Beyond Good and Evil name for marking. There was nothing about it that had the spirit of the first game.

    If there ever is a remaster, then I hope it keeps the original artistic style. Lots of remasters get this wrong.

    I haven’t had an issue with this at all. I’d say over 50% of the time, if I communicate with other players that I don’t intend to kill them, we end up working together.

    artyom,

    50% is way too low

    Switch being #2 behind PS2 is impressive given it has had a shorter lifespan. PS2 was on the market for 13 years. Switch has only been 9.

    @rljkeimig@lemmy.world avatar

    I think the PS2 being so well sold is more impressive because the price adjusted for inflation is closer to $560, or $299 in the year 2000.

    I think part of it was the idea that it could also be a DVD player so you wouldn’t need two devices that helped sell it if I recall correctly.

    Kolanaki,
    @Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

    I remember that was the case for PS3 and BluRay, but not so much DVD and the PS2. PS3 was, what, $300? $400? Where as the cheapest BluRay player that just played BluRay movies was almost a grand.

    I may just not remember it being similar for PS2. I was a sophmore in high school when it came out.

    rljkeimig,
    @rljkeimig@lemmy.world avatar

    The PS3 was stupid expensive at launch, like $600 in 2006, nearly $1000 in 2026 dollars. But yeah I think that argument was made then also.

    I think the PS2 was marketed specifically for DVD capabilities in some cases, I remember an IR dongle and remote control they sold so you didn’t have to use a controller.

    That was absolutely true for ps2 and DVD. They were trying to recapture it with ps3 and blu ray and with less success.

    zikzak025,

    Switch has a good chance of overtaking PS2 before the end of its lifespan. The Switch is still selling and still getting game releases.

    realitaetsverlust, do games w Dying Light

    Dying Light 1 is the best one anyways - DL2 was a big step down and DL:TB was fine, but wasn’t able to really “connect” to DL1 either. DL1 just had everything - great combat, great parcour, creepy nights with an actual INCENTIVE to go out (to kill bolters) - I honestly don’t know why they are unable to replicate that success.

    To answer the question - Rimworld and Project Zomboid. As always.

    Nelots,

    Rimworld. As always.

    How’s the Geneva checklist coming along?

    realitaetsverlust,

    I’m currently raising children in life pods to put them into the ripcore scanner to convert their brains into subcores to advance my mech army.

    Nelots,

    Nice. Last I played, I recently found out colonists’ moods are locked the second their enter a coma. I of course abused this by turning my colonists into unaging sangophages, getting them as happy as possible, having them deathrest permanently, and then giving them a psychic harmonizer.

    Eventually I got my hands on a modified sangophage gene with psychic hypersensitivity, and it was smooth sailing from there. My little meat joy batteries would each give my colonists up to like +40 mood in a massive radius around my base.

    I recommend trying Automobilista 2! It has decent VR support and decent VR performance compared to most sims, and makes it hard to race elsewhere for me.

    Oof I played that in 2D and it was bonkers. There’s no way I’m trying it in vr haha

    Lfrith,

    Have you tried flying games? I’d imagine that would feel really cool in VR.

    PerogiBoi,
    @PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

    Oh yes! Elite Dangerous, XPlane 12 (and 11), VTOLVR, Aerofly FS4 are all the flying games I play in VR. It’s incredible.

    ITT: Idle games! Text adventures! Literally games from the 1990s that would run fine on a 486.

    🤦‍♂️

    ZoteTheMighty,

    The free part is actually the harder thing to deliver on here. Free to play games are more recent than this hardware can handle since it’s a newer trend.

    PaupersSerenade, do games w Where do you all get your (indie) gaming news from?

    I’ll shill up for skill up’s website that spun up from his ‘This Week in Gaming’. He has some great coverage on indie games and always dedicates a segment to ‘put this on your radar’.

    Paul Tassi from Forbes also has some really good takes and sources in the industry for those AAA games.

    async_amuro, do games w Do we have No Man's Sky fans here?

    I hop in and out whenever a new update comes out, feels like I slip into my usual grinding routine, collect resources then sell resources. Then a new game comes out and I drop off again. I did get it for the Steam Deck and appreciate the cross save feature and they really do deserve credit for the ongoing updates. But it’s a sandbox and same game mechanics as FarmVille sometimes.

    Welcome 👋🏻

    tburkhol,

    This is my problem, too. I’ve gotten so entrained to hoard resources and make gold go up. I explore enough planets to put mines for every resource next to teleporters, then I run around the teleporters collecting resources until the overflow my storage. I’m a little jealous of people who have the creativity and attention to build big, elaborate bases with all of those resources - they look cool, it must feel very rewarding to see them develop, but if it’s not utilitarian, I can’t motivate myself.

    Of course, I’ve got probably 200 hours hoarding resources…
