What game?

panda_abyss,

Last of us part 2?

Screen_Shatter,

Part 1 too but only addressed in DLC.

Blackmist,

Do people really complain about playing as a lesbian? That’s like double the tits.

I did hear whining about having to play as a trans character though, despite the fact that you don’t. I can only imagine those people never played it and were just “hur dur big arms = man”.

Alright, I doubt you were going in this direction, but I’m going to rant anyway.

As guy, I’ve been sick and tired of male fetishization of lesbians in media for years. It’s creepy. They are not interested in you. Stop acting like you’re going to be the one to convert them into being bi. You aren’t.

Thank the stars that media is (slowly) growing out of this stereotype, because it’s not funny anymore, if was ever funny.

/ Rant over

Anyways, sorry to dump on your comment. It’s (hopefully) not directed at you. It just needs to be said somewhere

panda_abyss,

Sadly yes

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us_Part_II#Audi…

The Last of Us Part II was the subject of review bombing on Metacritic, resulting in a user review score of 3.4/10 at its nadir.[129][130] Reporters noticed the review bombing occurred shortly after the game launched—too early for users to feasibly have finished it;[131] some suggested that the reviews were based on the incomplete plot leaks.[102][130] Many negative reviews criticized the characterization and plot;[129][131] some complained of “social justice warrior” politics, with vitriolic responses to LGBT characters

They also thought that because Abby had muscles she was trans.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Edit: it’s optional, yet people still complain about it. I’ve even seen a forum post of someone who gleefully explained that he murdered an NPC because that NPC is canonically gay

Melonpoly,

brsrklf, do games w Day 397 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

It’s something I feel like more recent Nintendo games haven’t done.

References to past games are still a thing they do quite a lot. Weirdly enough in Super Mario Odyssey they went all in on Donkey Kong nostalgia. 3D world has the Comet Observatory, reimagined levels from 64, Bowser’s Fury brought back Bowser Jr’s paintbrush from Sunshine.

Breath of the Wild is chock full of references, ruins of old places, every land feature name is evoking something, be it a character, an old boss, whatever, music cues from the Temple of Time, Spectacle Rock dungeon, Dragon Roost Island…

Echoes of Wisdom borrowed like 70% of its map from A Link to the Past. Again. They already did that in A Link Between Worlds. Not a fan of that one honestly, I love ALttP, Nintendo please stop nostalgia farming it for subpar games already. I like my maps to feel fresh.

Mario Kart World is almost nothing but references, most tracks are from past episodes, and you can find stuff like SNES circuits on the roads around the official ones. And there are loads of remixes of past games music, from NES to Switch and everything in between.

jacobydehunter,

You just made me realise we haven’t had a fresh new map in a Zelda game since 2017 :(

brsrklf,

There’s Cadence of Hyrule, and the map shifts every game!

Okay, that’s a stretch.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

You’re right. I guess it was a lack of good sleep these past few days and the frustration with trying to find the Mii maker that made me think that way.

On the topic of World, i was playing through it today and noticed what you were talking about. Going through it in the Grand Prix i kept picking up bits and pieces of older courses mixed in there. Mario Circuit was the one i noticed the most but i also noticed a few others too.

Olap, do games w What foss MP games are still active?

Xonotic still has a few servers running and 385 players yesterday

dil,

wtfs wrong with my xonotic, i only see like 2 servers not full max when i check

Ephera,

Hmm, are you on an up-to-date version? Could also be a timezone thing, though, like maybe there’s an active community in India, which plays when you’re asleep or whatever.

dil,

I've checked many different times and there is usually nothing, makes sense it's prob out of my timezone pst US

otacon239, do gaming w Relationships

This game is so good. I never would have bought it without the Streisand Effect.

flamingos,

Streisand Effect? Was there some controversy I missed? I’ve only heard praise for the game.

otacon239,

It was pulled from itch.io. The reason is a bit vague: 80.lv/…/no-mouthwashing-wasn-t-removed-from-itch-…

flamingos,

The reason seems pretty clear and reasonable? They only used the itch page to drive traffic to their Steam page.

otacon239,

Maybe reason isn’t the right word. Was just trying to mention it due to this:

However, some found the developer’s explanation unconvincing, questioning how the studio’s Co-Founder could be unaware that the game hadn’t been indexed for nearly a year and reading the apology less like “I’m sorry” and more like “I’m sorry I got caught.” With both interpretations equally plausible – and equally impossible to prove – it’s up to everyone to decide for themselves whether Wrong Organ deserves the benefit of the doubt.

DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited )

I did it because no one else could be fucking arsed to do something so simple

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Thank you so much for not including the title of

Mouthwashing (2024)

otacon239,

It was in the image title text, which is why I didn’t mention it.

psx_crab,

Am using Boost app so it didn’t really shown for me, all i see is title and image.

ALoafOfBread, do games w Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

Death’s Door on switch. It’s a cute little soulslike where you play a crow who reaps souls. It has good gameplay and a nice style.

cccrontab,

I really enjoyed this one! I tried Tunic after this it, but could not get into it.

Katana314,

I enjoyed this one a lot, but I eventually got stuck on a yeti boss, and quit.

It felt like his next move was somewhat randomized, and you needed to react in much less than a second to the type of move he was doing. While a lot of bosses develop patterns you can get used to, I couldn’t form any rules in my mind that could account for my reflexes not improving.

Greyhound,

Yeahh always felt like that boss was a major difficulty spike, next two bosses are even harder when in comparison the past bosses were cakewalks 🫤

Kolanaki, do games w [Discussion] Ranking the highest-grossing video games
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Minecraft absolutely deserves it. Especially through the educational versions that are really driving these specific numbers higher.

GTA V’s sales were impressive and it is one of the most recognized games even to non-gamers so it makes sense that it is up there. It’s also a good game. At least, single player. The online shit is kinda fucked for the sake of making profit.

Fortnite is inexplicable. I don’t think it is a terrible game, by all means, I just don’t understand why it is the most popular one in its genre. 🤷‍♂️

Auth,

Fortnite is the master of brand based collabs. They aren’t afraid of mixing their ip with others or changing their game. They will change the map by adding a giant travis scott concert in the middle, or put a peter griffin character in game. A lot of other games are scared to add new things or put things unrelated into their games. I dont understand why people love having giant corporations shoved into their games but they do.

nyctre,

That’s part of it and it’s probably part of the staying power, sure. But I’m pretty sure it exploded before it started doing that. Iirc, quite soon after release, Ninja became one of the most popular streamers on twitch, breaking records and stuff and he even did a stream with Drake which at the time was the biggest stream ever. People were speculating even then that maybe epic paid Drake, but well… could just as easily have been just Drake being Drake.

As for why it got popular in the first place… I think it’s just being at the right time in the right place. There was Minecraft hunger games, h1z1, PUBG and probably a few other smaller ones. They were all quite popular and then Fortnite came along and made it more accessible and arguably more fun and stuff as well. A few of my friends used to try pretty much all the popular games, especially shooters. And besides CS, Fortnite was definitely the one that kept them engaged the longest. That’s just anecdotal, but well… if it worked on us, it’s probably worked on many.

Maybe I should start a list of everything I’ve played. I’ve certainly got enough for a good list and I’ve saved everything I’ve 100% in a Steam list, so I’ve already got some of them tracked

With Linux, that’s impossible. However, I will say that you won’t need to worry about these privacy invading rootkits disguising themselves as anti-cheats (Ricochet, EA’s Ring 0 malware, EAC, Battleye, etc.).

biscuitswalrus,

Just compile your kernel with the anti cheat flags and telemetry enabled from source.

bungle_in_the_jungle, do games w Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)

Firewatch was the biggest disappointment for me because the big mystery they hype up for most of the game just ended up being a nothing burger.

46_and_2,

It was incredibly enjoyable for me exactly because I didn’t fall for that “big mystery” hook. Also no, it’s not a nothingburger for any of the characters involved. It’s just not another unrealistic game-y game.

BurgerBaron, do games w what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?
@BurgerBaron@piefed.social avatar

Not gonna rank them because I can't.

Age of Empires II I've played since release and still do occasionally.

Everhood 1 everything about it I love. During covid things got very dark for me personally and this game just hit perfectly on some stuff plaguing my mind at the exact right time I most needed it. The devs were one hit wonders unfortunately. Coming from that, the sequel was atrocious.

Thief 2: The Metal Age. It's like crack to this brain of mine. Yes I play The Dark Mod too.

Runners up:

LISA: The Painful

Diddy Kong Racing

chunes,

Thief 2 is just incredible. Many games try, but none can dethrone the stealth game king.

And I totally forgot about Diddy Kong Racing, but yeah. It’s legitimately a better game than Mario Kart 64.

BurgerBaron,
@BurgerBaron@piefed.social avatar

Aye and it helps the fans are so passionate making new maps to play for both Thief games and TDM.

DKR holds up so much better. It's just more* realised too. Way more stuff to do. MK64 is skeletal more like an arcade game really. Wish it'd get some reverse engineering love as much as I enjoy the fan made map packs for MK64.

With DKR once you get used to the car drifting camera movements, bunny hopping the hovercraft, letting go of the gas before hitting boosts, and learning the plane can also trigger ground boosts you'll feel like a god.

I see a lot of people shit on the hovercraft while I'm over here bunny hopping sharp corners jumping up to smash into walls on purpose like a psycho so I don't slow down ping ponging all over. It's such a joy.

SnotFlickerman,

I’ve been curious about LISA: The Painful for a long time.
