brsrklf, do games w Has Bowser finally turned good and gave up on hunting Peach?

Even in the main series he’s been switching between power hungry destroyer of worlds (Galaxy, Wonder) and goofy bully with a Peach obsession (Sunshine, Odyssey) for a long time.

Yeah, RPGs (Square, Paper or M&L) often have him team up with the good guys when he’s been out-villained. He’s particularly depicted as incompetent in those, and usually kicked out of his own castle, it and his minions being one of the rare other things he cares about.

Red_October, do games w What's up with Epic Games?

One of my biggest complaints with the EGS is their anti-competitive actions. Rather than try to out compete, rather than try to be the better choice, they pay developers to only release games on their platform, flat out barring them from releasing on any other store. They don’t try to win your favor, they don’t try to be a pleasant experience, they just shortcut their way to being the only option, without a care for improving any of the other faults or shortcomings.

My next complaint is that Tencent has a 40% ownership share in Epic Games, and I make active efforts to not give them a dime.

Shialac,

The same strategy all console-producers use

Altomes, do gaming w it's the steam winter sales, what game did you enjoy playing and want to share?

I know this game has gotten a lot of attention but Sea of Stars was my favorite game of the year, the story and art was charming and well done, and the gameplay was great and about the perfect length IMO. Its only been out 4 months and I’m already itching to do a replay

TowardsTheFuture,

Reminds me I need to get around to playing more. Got to the like first real city and then got busy with a lot of things but it’s cool for sure.

delitomatoes,

The start is painfully slow though

Altomes,

Fair enough, I think it helped that I’d been awaiting the game for so long that I was willing to forgive a slow start

Lowbird,

I didn’t get far in it because the characters seemed very bland to me, and the story setup generic, but perhaps that could improve over time? I know some games leverage their length to pull off slow character development well, even if the basic character templates are straightforwardly tropey. But this one didn’t grab me enough at the beginning to justify investing my time in it, personally.

I’m glad it exists for the people who do like it, though!

mp3, (edited ) do gaming w I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?
@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

My oldest kid (6yo) is currently having fun with Goat Simulator ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and yes, I bought the expansions.

He doesn’t play online yet, but I have Minecraft on the PS4 so that may be an option later on.

Other options I can think of that would be appropriate and multiplayer

  • Rocket League
  • Fall Guys
  • Party Animals
  • Portal 2
  • Astroneer
  • Human Fall Flat
Deestan, do games w Recommend a game for me to play with my partner

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - coop, a bit actiony but less chaotic than Overcooked. Beautiful and cute artstyle.

Kufflebuns,

This was my first thought too. Highly recommend.

Fantastic game, my family has been playing it for years on Switch, starting from when my kids were uselessly young, to now that they are pretty good gamers and it has always been fun. One of the few games my wife plays with everyone.

Glemek,

I think this is one we’ll check out. I bounced off it a few years ago, but I think that was because I played it in a party where I was more interested in just hanging out and catching up with the other players.

PaupersSerenade, do games w The Game Awards 2023: List of Winners
@PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works avatar

Honestly disappointed with the combination of batch awards and probably the shortest acceptance speech timer I’ve seen. This game awards felt solely for producers and publishers, not for the people who actually made these games. I get not wanting another 8 min speech, but it left a bad taste in my mouth

ieightpi,

With E3 dead, this is the new outlet form showing off new games I guess

CopernicusQwark, do games w The Game Awards 2023: List of Winners

Congratulations to all the winners - they’re all very well deserved! No surprises here (though very pleased) to see BG3 clean house.

It’s very unfortunate for Insomniac that SM2 didn’t get any wins, but it goes to show how crazy good this year has been for gamers!

Haha, that’s exactly the kind of game I want to make but with graphics and a little less dry. Didn’t even know about that one. Also I should probably actually figure out how to start that once I’m settled in here. It’s amazing how much planning and thought goes into getting one truck across the country. It’s like Oregon trail but you die of stupidity, yours or others, rather than dysentery.

GregorGizeh, do gaming w What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness?

Westwood studios. Command and conquer tiberian sun was my very first computer game, which I loved dearly (and still have on my computer since it’s freeware now and has been fan patched for modern systems)

Well and then came EA.

@Sivick314@universeodon.com avatar

@GregorGizeh @Telorand you can get it free now?? I had given it up for dead...

GregorGizeh,

Yup, it’s Freeware since a few years now and has even spawned a brilliant standalone mod using its engine. Here is the link:

www.moddb.com/mods/tiberian-sun-client/

And if you want to check out the mod I mentioned, it’s called twisted insurrection. It delivers on many things that were lacking in the original, and has an extensive OST with some pieces by frank klepacki himself (made a lot of the music used in the original series). You can check out some trailers on YouTube. Mod Link:

recapitated, do games w What moment from a video game made you cry?

Being 7yo and trying to play MegaMan 3. Different kind of cry, but you asked.

Duenan, do games w What were your top favorite video games as a kid?
@Duenan@aussie.zone avatar

Secret of Mana on the SNES and Mario brothers 3.

Glide,

A man of culture.

Secret of Evermore is also grossly underrated.

AngryCommieKender,

Finally found my people :)

limeaide, do gaming w How are you all playing these insanely complex games?

I recently started playing Divinity Original Sin 2, and I went through this problem as well until I changed the way I approached the game.

I just let go of trying to make the most optimized decisions and instead just make the decision I, or my character would make (if I’m role playing).

I just realized that no matter what decision I make, it will still lead me to finish the game. If I really want to, later I can go back and play it again to see more of the game. Only if I like my first play-through though.

PonyOfWar, do gaming w Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

I’ve had Slay the Spire in my Library for a while, but only got hooked on it when I tried it on Steam Deck.

When I got my Steam Deck at launch, the first game I was hooked on was Elden Ring, which came out around the same time. I first started it on my PC, but got frustrated by the huge lag spikes. Thankfully, those aren’t a thing on Steam Deck!

riquisimo,

Slay the Spire had been in my library a while, waiting for me to pick it up. I’m planning on getting an OLED, excited to try it out.

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@kbin.social avatar

Once you get bored of the base game, Slay the Spire also has an extremely robust and high quality modding community. I got around 200 hours out of the base game and then an additional 250 on top of that out of modded classes and setting overhauls.

StS: Downfall in particular is extremely high quality and was in fact so popular that it got its own Steam store page, like a free DLC would. Highly recommend.
