Noita and good old Soldat come to mind

theskyisfalling,

Was gonna say Noita, great game but unforgiving as fuck!

mrfriki,

Oh, i didn’t realize Noita had mouse aiming and it has been in my wishlist forever. Also love the tiny characters of Soldat. Many thanks!

@thingsiplay@lemmy.ml avatar

Oh BTW I am currently waiting to complete a “challenge” (its an achievement) for a special game, with a special achievement. All I have to do is, not to play the game. No seriously, “The Stanley Parable” has a famous achievement, that you get if you don’t launch the game for 5 years. The fun story is, I purchased the game just to get this achievement. Really. I purchased it and waited 5 years, then installed it and run it.

But wait, why don’t I get the achievement? After an investigation I came to realize that the game has to run at least once, so the timer starts counting. Well, since then I played the game and wait another 5 years. I almost reached the fifth year. So to complete everything (which I did not honestly) you would need to do not to play the game. Is it worth it? I say absolutely!

The Stanley Parable is a meta game - a game about playing and making games. And there you are having fun not playing a game…

Adulated_Aspersion,

Change your system time and relaunch the game for a sneaky cheat.

@thingsiplay@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah I know, there are methods. But I want to “earn” it the right way, as I don’t like cheating for this kind of stuff. But thanks for the tip nonetheless. Edit: Especially as I’m in the ninth year now…

Partly because games are so inefficient these days that we have no choice. Looking at you, Unity and Unreal

Nooooooooo, you’re just envious because you don’t have a RTX 5090 that only costs 15k dollars and needs to generate fake frames at 400*300 to maintain a stable 60FPS

I’ve been playing the older Ys games. Ys seven and back. These games are great. I didn’t play a single Ys game until last year. No nostalgia for them. Practically no JRPG nostalgia either as I was a Diablo/Baldurs Gate type gamer 20+ years ago. Now I’m eating up all these old JRPG games

salacious_coaster, (edited )

I only ever played Ys 3. The ratio of music composition quality to gameplay quality of that one was insane.

network_switch,

Something about this series where the games seem budget for their era but has great polish. Good music. The stories are fun entertaining adventures. The characters are lovable. Gameplay is fun to me and iove the music. I’m impressed with how the games on PC have ultrawide support. Eventually I’ll get to 8-10 where everyone hypes up 8 as best in series. And all the modern games are easy enough for pretty much anyone to run on cheap hardware. Great series

I completely get that. With everything going on today it’s just nice too have something like these too look at. Putting these together for an hour or so everyday provides the same relief for me

Shortstack, do gaming w People pay extra for this, you know.

As my recent hunt for a new monitor can attest to, you actually pay less for curved than a regular screen of the same specs.

I don’t know if they made a bunch and now can’t sell them and thus they’re all discounted or if they’re cheaper because they’re only making those now aka economy of scale.

Either way I’m not here for it so I paid more for that regular monitor.

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,
@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.

ripcord,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

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.

I’ll have to check it out! I’ve seen it around but haven’t heard much about it :)

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.
