It might just be me but there’s not a single course on here that i don’t like. They’re all really stable and sound tracks to play. To me it’s the best core Mario Kart experience.

How does this compare to FreeSpace and FreeSpace 2?

Freespace is a bigger game with more ships and is more military focused. This game is more about being a mercenary/freelancer with very good voice acting and the world feels fleshed out. It’s also super easy, comparatively.

I just got my ornathopter built and am yet to be eaten by the worm.

A few close calls but so far so good

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

From the Wiki:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elden_Ring_Nightreign

“released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on May 30, 2025. It received generally positive reviews and sold 3.5 million units.[1]”

So, first, it doesn’t matter how many concurrent players it has, it sold 3.5 million so it’s not a flop.

Second, it was released on 5 platforms, you are looking at concurrent players on Steam only.

Top notch content as always.

I like when you include fun or odd stuff, that resembles a lot of old magazines (yeah yeah, I suppose you get comments like that often).

Has anyone shared your posts outside the fediverse? I legit think this is unique and real content, no SEO or AI shit that I doom scroll on a daily basis, that could benefit users from other communities lol.

I guess I do, but I don’t really know so much about the older magazines. I’m young, so I wasn’t around for the magazine era of gaming (much to my own sadness, my Papa tells me all the time how fun it was getting each month’s issue and the included ‘demo disk’). I’ve just spent a ton of time looking at scans of them, finding old archived gaming blogs…idk I just wish the current era of gaming journalism was more fun and less ‘begging’ or trying-to-trap-you-into-ads.

And not anywhere really! My friends Eben and Annie, who run Junk Store for Steam Deck take what I write and edit it so it fits for their sub-reddit. Or did, because now with the next iteration of Junk Store so close, their workload is getting more and more.

Other than that, last year I had a few of my interviews on SteamDeckHQ (because the owner of the site was a friend), and the same for Gaming on Linux for a couple.

These news posts though?! Nope, as they are they’re just here. Thank you for taking the time to enjoy these, I really appreciate it. Without people who love these I’m sure I’d have stumbled to a halt!

@JunkStore@lemmy.world avatar

I’m still putting it up on our sub-reddit, I’m just linking directly to your Lemmy posts! Need to keep spreading the word about these awesome posts! Also this way maybe more people will join Lemmy!

This reminded me in the best way of reading magazines back in the day.

The only thing missing is a sweet demo disc

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

If I had more time, I could 100% arrange a crazy once-off downloadable and installable demo disk of non-copyrighted games.

As it stands, the more I write of this reply the more work I know it’d be! (still fun though)

Toga65,

Lmao friend, if you did that we’d have to pay you, no questions asked lol

pinball_wizard, do games w What are your favorite Tactical RPGs?

Advance Wars, of course.

I haven’t seen any mention of “Steamworld: Heist”, yet. It’s a very different sort of game engine, but scratches the same itch.

SoupBrick, do gaming w What are your favorite metroidvanias?

Hollow Knight is fkn good.

Metroid - Zero Mission, Super Metroid, Fusion, Dread

Dead Cells - Metroidvania/Roguelike

Ori series.

Nine Sols.

Dead Cells

Never really agreed with the Metroidvania label, same with Skul: The Hero Slayer. You unlock different biomes (and side rooms), but the items to do so are more like keys. Just my thoughts on that.

@Ankkuli@lemdro.id avatar

I find that the lack of ”coyote time” in Hollow Knight makes it completely unplayable for me. Shame since the controls otherwise feel snappy.

De_Narm, do games w What are your favorite Tactical RPGs?

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, above all else.

That being said, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 1 and 2 are awesome. They combine SRPGs with the usual SMT combat - I don’t think I’ve found something similar yet.

You move around like you would in any other SRPG, then you can attack enemies in range to enter normal turn based combat - however, at most, you can only play out 2 full turns before combat ends. Afterwards the next unit moves. Each unit represents a squad of up to three characters you will be batteling with, usually a human and two demons. Depending on your squad, you may have different movement, range and abilities.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, above all else.

Yes. The day is full of moments. (Relevant Penny Arcade)

Wasteland 3 is really good, baldurs gate 3 kinda, darkest dungeon, Valkyrie chronicles 1 & 4

I enjoyed Wasteland 3 a great deal too.

capt_wolf, do games w What are your favorite Tactical RPGs?

X-Com - UFO Defense and TFTD are definitely my favorite. Fallout 1&2 are a close second and I’ve been meaning to play through them again. Ogre Battle is a distant third, with Front Mission right behind it.

Jesus_666,

There’s a reason why oldschool X-Com players kept coming back to the games despite technical issues like the Groundhog Day bug. (Thank all applicable deities for OpenXcom solving those issues, though.)

capt_wolf,

Absolutely loved both of them! I think UFO Defense was the first pc game I played on our first 486. It was one of the first games I ever successfully hacked.

Not sure how many people know, but there’s another game from Gollop, Rebelstar Tactical Command for Gameboy Advance. It’s part of the Rebelstar series dating back to the ZX Spectrum. It plays pretty much the same as the original XCom games.

C45513, do games w A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

Deus Ex: Invisible War, and Dragon Age 2.

I liked them both. Not as good as Deus Ex 1 or DA:O, but I enjoyed and finished playthroughs of both games.

krinks73,

I enjoyed Dragon Age 2 as well. It’s just that it’s an action movie to Origins’ House of the Dragon. It’s just different genres.

Lv_InSaNe_vL,

All 5 of the dues ex games were good. And Ill die on that hill

bestboyfriendintheworld, do gaming w Don't hate the player

Developers need to eat and pay rent.

ImplyingImplications,

So the developers of $20 games are homeless?

yamper,

you know that games are made with different numbers of people on a team right

bestboyfriendintheworld,

Lots of Indie game developers actually don’t make enough to live off.

@Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world avatar

Let’s not pretend developers are going to get any money from these price increases. It’s all going to the publisher’s shareholders.

RedditRefugee69,

Which is why I avoid games with big publishers and shareholders.
