Ashiette, do games w 'Emulating the Impossible' - my interview with a developer of RPCS3

What a great read, thanks

ImgurRefugee114, do games w Why would I buy this?

Play Necesse or Abiotic Factor. Both just left early access recently and are great real games for good prices and aren’t stuffed with the modern AAA bloat

Edit: I posted this just before reading the last paragraph… Well, glad it’s taking off lol

gens,

MirrorGiraffe,

Been oogling necesse. Would’ve loved couch co-op with the kids. On a scale of 1 to terraria, how much do you enjoy it?

ImgurRefugee114,

It’s a bit more basebuildy than Terraria which I actually prefer as someone who enjoys rimworld. It’s pretty big on boss fights tho, but i usually leave that to my friends and focus on the base. It has a lot of polish and quality-of-life features. I’ve sunk about 140 hours into it so far but I’ll probably rack up a lot more than that. It isn’t very replayable and has a weak endgame loop, but it’s a very solid game.

This is crazy you’ve kept this streak up for so long, kudos

wizardbeard, do games w Lake Isabella Lore Drop: What’s Your Favorite Find?

The fuck is Lake Isabella and why is this written like an ad? This might make sense if you were writing about the setting of a famous or popular game, but even then it would be a stretch.

Lost_My_Mind, do games w Do you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart?

“Does you feel”? Noes I don’ts.

etchinghillside, do games w I love stardew valley. looking for an alternative that is made for controller experience.
tiz,

thx! definitely going into my list:)

dfyx, do gaming w Name a game that you found SO FUN, but no one talks about it anymore.
@dfyx@lemmy.helios42.de avatar

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, a collaboration between Ensemble Studios and Lucas Arts to reskin Age of Empires 2 for Star Wars. The base game had campaigns for the OT and Phantom Menace and a bit later there was an Attack of the Clones expansion.

I would really love for them to port this to the AoE2 Definitive Edition engine and add more content.

t3rmit3,

Still can play it, and it’s still insanely fun. I also highly recommend the Star Wars Conquest mod for Mount and Blade/ Warband (mod images).

fascicle,

I had no idea it was basically a reskin, I never got around to playing age of empires but really enjoyed galactic battlegrounds

Katana314, do games w Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response)

Estelle, from Trails in the Sky.

She’s introduced as a bit of a cocky moron who constantly has to be wrangled by her more mature brother. But, there’s a slow development of competency where she starts to become decently sufficient at all the things her brother is good at, while he meanwhile lays bare some heavy emotional flaws - many of which Estelle excels at processing (call it a feminine trope, but it works).

Of note, all the rest of the Trails series have had male leads, and their pace of character development ground to a complete halt.

Damage, do games w Space battle games for casual player?

I haven’t played it in years, but I have fond memories of FreeSpace 2 and it’s open source community version. A quick search turned this up.

afaix,

There was also a Babylon 5 mod for Free Space 2

halfsalesman, do gaming w Game balance

I hate loud stupid people influencing game balance so fucking much.

I’m glad I don’t play PVP games anymore.

If I ever get back into game dev though and make a multiplayer game…

It sadly happens in single player games too... People complain loudly that parts are too hard, then the devs put out nerfs in response.

A significant number of legendary bosses from the arcade and cartridge era are probably only famous because they were dialed up too hard and couldn't be tweaked after release, and I think it's more memorable that way.

Contramuffin, (edited ) do gaming w What's the state of Linux gaming with Proton?

I haven’t bothered to check for Proton compatibility at all. The compatibility is so good that I just by default assume that it’ll work.

Now, if you have online multiplayer games, they likely won’t work due to anticheat not supporting Linux. But if you do single player games, there’s virtually complete compatibility

Linux Mint is a good choice, works right out of the box. The UI is a bit dated though, so I ended up settling on Kubuntu. It’s very aesthetic (like an updated version of Windows 10), and for the most part it works out of the box, but digging through its settings can be really overwhelming. Basically losing a bit of accessibility but gaining a much more modern aesthetic

If you choose to use Kubuntu (or any distro that uses KDE Plasma), I would recommend sticking with default settings and learn the settings slowly over time

Katana314,

The only games I’ve seen to have issues with online multiplayer are the biggest ones: COD and Battlefield. If you’re into those, I guess you do need to go Windows.

Some others I play are fine; Dead by Daylight, Wild Assault, Space Marine 2.

(No, I’m not a furry, I just like a Bad Company 2 style with infantry focus, and the abilities are pretty nice)

Ashtear, do games w Man, seems like Jim Cummings is to classic CRPGs as Jeffrey Combs is to Star Trek.

Jeffrey Combs was also in DOTA: Dragon’s Blood, and that series’s cast was a fun synthesis of video game voice actor luminaries plus Star Trek alumni (Michael Dorn, John de Lancie, Anson Mount, Andrew Robinson and more).

But yeah, really that whole late 90’s/early 2000’s gaming era had some genuinely great performances from actors of different media. I still think about David Warner in Baldur’s Gate 2 from time to time.

echodot,

There was some military strategy game which was voiced by Will Wheaton. I remember you had to control the characters with voice command, and that was a very new and novel idea and so when playing online people forgot that that meant that you could hear what orders they were giving their units.

baltakatei, do gaming w Be respectful

Pashonka!

Rekorse, do games w Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

Final fantasy isn’t a continuation from game to game, they are new stories each time. Final fantasy is more like a feeling than a specific place or group of people.

All that said I really think you should consider trying Final Fantasy 10, it has fantastic cinematics and is a very emotional game.

capt_wolf,

I think of it as an RPG ruleset, like DnD. Most of FF games follow similar mechanics, class systems, sometimes there’s the same monsters, and sometimes there’s crystals that do stuff.

I agree though, FFX is really good.

dhampirdamsel, do games w More Online CO-OP Games should have option to pause
@dhampirdamsel@sh.itjust.works avatar

It’s a big reason why I don’t play multiplayer games, unless it’s with my husband or our close friend group.

Multiplayer games are rarely parent-friendly.
