thejoker954, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

In single-player games I occasionally “lightly” cheat.

Using “infinite” mods or unlock “everything” mods just ruins all the fun for me.

But unlock a specific thing or get a small amount of rss type cheats that reduce grind I like.

Here are some FOSS games on Android that can be played on a portrait orientation.

Mental Math

Tessel - A tiling game

Flang - it’s like chess, but not chess.

2048

BlastOff - endless runner

Chip Defense - it is a tower defence type of game, and is one of my favourites. You should try it.

original_reader,

Thank you. Also for directly linking it. Installed Chip Defense straight away. Am curious. 🙂

Road_Warrior_10,

You did! This is an update version based on you and others advice : )

fakeman_pretendname, do games w DAE name their characters by their official name?

I either use the default names, or give them “standard English older bloke names”. The grander the adventure, the more un-grand a name they get.

Things like “Ian Williams”, “Neville Smith”, “Terry Phillips”, “Frank Jones” etc. The sort of names that would work for the City Council’s Road Maintenance Department.

Deep rock galactic survivors is on mobile now and it works in both portrait and landscape mode

Eyck_of_denesle,

Thank you so much. I’ve been playing it on pc but haven’t found much time recently. This is perfect for me.

artyom,

You can also play the PC version on Android with GameNative.

Eyck_of_denesle, (edited )

That’s interesting. I might look into it cause the playstore one requires playstore. I don’t have google apps and downloaded the apk. Weird cause most games work fine I have microg too.

The Only Cure! What an immersive way to handle the dreaded “bitten” notice in the health panel. Having to retrain yourself in using tools with your prosthetic is such a great way to extend your playthrough when the inevitable happens.

Damn though, the mod scene for this game is just ever expanding. Rocking B42 myself so no multiplayer yet, but some fantastic modders have implemented some of the best mods over from B41.

I still can’t recommend Week One enough. Slayer has done a great job, and added some great scenarios to make the game a bit dicier at the start, and there’s some very active development on his Discord about the upcoming addition called The Ark.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a staple of any time i play with mods. Plus i feel like it adds a bit of “lore” to the character if they lose an arm. Especially on multiplayer with friends it can build their characters “lore” too.

I’ve thought about week one, but afaik there’s no multiplayer. I love this game and the NPC mod added a lot of life to the game, but multiplayer is where i have the most fun

linkinkampf19,
@linkinkampf19@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, sorry if I push Week One so much. I feel it’s the only way I can play Zomboid anymore as it adds so much “realism” to the start of the game. I really hope The Indie Stone hire the guy sooner than later as despite the jank in the mod (he is technically replacing zed with NPCs on a limited codebase afaik), it just works so well on the build-up from days 1-7. Not having an MP option for B42 yet also sucks. I’m primarily an SP type of person, so the MP aspect isn’t high on my list.

The only other mod I could recommend, albeit a bit OP, is the B41 version of RV Interior. It changes the gameplay loop as once you find a working vehicle, it becomes your home. Playing inventory Tetris with a base that can be as small as 3x3 tiles, up to a massive truck trailer can be fun and rewarding lol.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

RV Interior is definitely a staple of my modpack. It’s definitely OP. Though, I have heard there’s a bug with interiors spawning with a fuckton of zombies in it. So the risk of that happening is probably at least a bit of an upset

linkinkampf19,
@linkinkampf19@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve heard of that bug but never encountered it. I have had zed spawn in a few times in interiors before, but never a horde level, more of a “Surprise! I bit you in the dark and now you’re already dead.” On B42 the mod author stated it wouldn’t be out until 42 was marked stable, so a few other modders (BuchoJefe & Mickey Knox primarily) jumped the gun and added their own versions of RV Interior. I use the former’s mod, and it’s pretty solid, as it randomizes interiors. Doesn’t always make sense (like an ambulance interior in a van or box truck), but weird conversions are a thing, so I think it fits in. Adding in Vanvival makes it even more OP, unless you make it part of the lore.

Glad to see you’re playing it again on 503!

gwl, do games w A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again

Did you know Shadows of Mordor copyrighted the Nemesis System and then proceeded to never use it in any other games ever again despite people calling out for it?

That’s one I’d like to see

JackbyDev,

Patented, not copyrighted, but I think you double posted.

gwl,

Nah, they’re different comments

The different types of Gameboys and most of their games emulate really well on a smart phone. I prefer playing them in landscape orientation for the larger display, but portrait mode gives a more accurate recreation with the screen on top and buttons on bottom.

I’m out of touch with what the latest best options are for emulators and where to source your ROMs, but if you ask around in communities focusing on things like piracy, they’ll point you in the right direction.

Recommended to use a VPN for any downloads.

I haven’t played it in a million years but I remember Cut The Rope being really fun.

v4ld1z, do games w Day 500 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Shadow of War is even better. Are you planning on playing that at some point too?

perfectduck,

What did you like about it? I ran out of steam when it felt like more of the same

v4ld1z,

It was quite some time ago when I played the game, so I might not remember everything.

  • The story felt like it was a good continuation of the first title and somewhat tied in to the books/movies.
  • The combat was fleshed out more with more moves and weapons
  • more interesting uruks, personalities, afflictions they can developed as a result of the way you killed them first
  • the sieges were a cool addition

It was definitely more of the same in a way but it was executed well. There was that whole controversy around real-money loot boxes to pull good uruks from that you could employ to guard your fort, in a way being pay 2 win if you had money to spend on loot boxes. But at least that was removed and made free.

I just realised the game came out like 7 years ago. Where does the time go…

You didn’t like the game too much, I take it?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I always hear people praise the Shadow franchise, and not to put Mordor down, but get the feeling War is the one everyone is talking about, so I do plan on playing it. I know a bit about it and it sounds like a lot of fun

v4ld1z,

It’s pretty much the same game but better. Mordor feels a little more dated in comparison, but it still stands on its own compared to War. If you liked Mordor, you’ll definitely like War even more

NOT_RICK, do gaming w I call this the "True Catholic/Christian combo"
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Beating a debtor near to death wasn’t very Christian. I do appreciate a lot that Arthur does but that mission still haunts me. What a great story

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not THAT familiar with the story of RDR2, but I think Rockstar tries to do their best to show that Arthur is a very flawed man who can switch between doing good things to doing bad things in a whim (but also depending on the player’s actions). It makes him feel more human.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

The mission I’m describing is unavoidable. I won’t spoil it, but it has serious consequences for both Arthur and the plot. It’s the kind of art that really punches you in the gut.

Tying up clansmen and turning them into red mist on train tracks, feeding them to gators, or just setting them on fire sure never did get old though.

Rakqoi, do games w A screenshot that is the old evidence of my first ever attempt at a game.

Oh wow this gave me a wave of nostalgia for my first experience developing games. I took a class in like middle school for game development, and they provided the software Alice for the course.

I fondly remember trying to make a first person, open world sandbox RPG, but if I remember correctly, the engine not being able to create new instances of anything severely limited what I wanted to do. Also, the engine had a ton of floating point precision issues and everything would be rotated in funny ways after the game was running for a long time. And I hated the visual programming and got so frustrated that I couldn’t just type the scripts instead haha… that’s when I switched to GameMaker

Anyway, I was reminded of it because the first enemies in my game were also sword-wielding skeletons just like in the OP screenshots. I appreciate the peak into your past, and I’m thankful for that nostalgia hit :3
