Ahh… I remember simpler times when we had proper handheld devices… and not having to deal with ads bullshit (shovelware was a thing though).

Perhaps the Nintendo Switch might be a good option down the road?

If not I agree about Chinese handhelds, there are so many out there and they keep improving over time.

sylverstream,

Yeah was thinking about a switch, but I’m a bit reluctant due to high cost of games. They mainly use the tablet to game while traveling, at home they play with their toys or on the xbox.

theterrasque,

Maybe steam deck could be an alternative? Hardware itself is more expensive, but there’s so much good cheap or even free games.

I think the category you’re looking for is premium games. On mobile it appears to mean that the game is complete and not sold in pieces.

“Shattered pixel dungeon” is a rouge-like top down rpg with no ads and is quite fun. You can only pay if you choose to support the dev.

As much as I like that game, the learning curve is steep af! Unless the little one handles frustration well, it will be a hard sell.

tra,

Yeah you are probably right.

RxBrad, do games w how do you have fun even a game have a grading system?
@RxBrad@lemmings.world avatar

OP’s perfect world.

Buy game. Install game. Launch game. “YOU WIN!”

DeriHunter,

You can play fromsoft or any souls like game which probably harder than any Japanese grading game and still hate it. It’s not about easy/hard. The fact that you don’t understand it and try to offend op shows what person you are, I give you a D lmao

RxBrad,
@RxBrad@lemmings.world avatar

Honestly, I can’t stand Soulsbornes.

It’s okay to be bad at stuff. And, surprise! All of us are, no matter how many people tell us we’re perfect at everything and can do no wrong.

I’m not going to let it ruin my day like OP if a videogame tells me I did less than SSS performance on a level.

DeriHunter,

Good for you (not being sarcastic). For me, I can’t overlook it. I need to have a good score, the entire game revolve around it and me trying to get a good grade. This feels a chore for me, and although I know that it doesn’t mean anything about myself, I still get a bad feeling when it happens and when I do get a good grade, I don’t feel relived, I feel like this is what I needed that do and it was expected of me.

The fact that it bother me, doesn’t mean I want to install a game that says “you win”. I like challenging games, but a different challenge.

RxBrad,
@RxBrad@lemmings.world avatar

I suppose I could’ve been less of a butthole about it…

But I just look at the letter grade on games like Devil May Cry or Final Fantasy 13 and think “why is that even here?”.

Then I just pay no attention to it at all. It’s not like a bad grade means you beat the level any less.

And if they base trophies off it, then I don’t try getting all the trophies. More often than not, getting a Platinum Trophy on a game sucks all of the fun out of it anyways. Hard pass.

learningduck,

Guess you didn’t reach the second paragraph.

Broken_Monitor, do games w how do you have fun even a game have a grading system?

First play through ignore the grading system. I know I’m going to get a crap grade - I need practice, upgrades, moves unlocked etc. I will only worry about that system on a second play through where I know exactly what I’m doing and now I’m ready to try perfecting it. At that point I must still be enjoying the game and the challenge of doing better. Most games I never do this, but some of them are really fun. I think if you worry about the grade right away its like skipping classes and homework and going straight to the test. Yeah, you’re probably going to have a rough time.

prograhammingdev, do games w Just finished my first playthrough of Prey by Arkane Studios and WOW.

I just played through it this year for the first time as well (gave up a few hours in on the original release). Really is an awesome game with such a surprisingly great intro.

Finally finished Inscryption.
Holly shit what a game.

chloyster,

Nice!!! One of my faves for sure. Really want to try the roguelite update that came out for it

KidDogDad, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 1st

I was playing a ton of Baldur’s Gate 3, but I decided I needed a break on it after getting to Act 3. I’m currently playing Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire for the first time and enjoying it.

Lol I like how you took a break from the sprawling modern CRPG by playing a different sprawling modern CRPG.

I do love the pillars of eternity series though. I think the first game got a little exposition text heavy and could have done with some more character animations during cutscenes, but I loved the story and the setting and I enjoyed the tropical island hopping of the 2nd(though I do wish the ship to ship combat was better they were so close to what could have been a paired down FTL).

KidDogDad,

Haha yeah I was slightly confused why I wanted to play a different massive sprawling rpg but 🤷🏻‍♂️

space, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

I wish there were more Sims like games. I feel that under EA, the games aren’t living up to their full potential, and they could be so much more.

SwiggitySwole,

There are a few on the horizon, look into paralives and life by you

UltraMagnus0001, do games w Are there any reputable independent gaming sites left?

Too bad xplay was cancelled again

I don’t play it but I asked my girlfriend who does, and she said she has no idea.

bionicjoey, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

A hacking sim like Uplink, but with a less rigid story and a more open world. Also with simulated bash that allows for some scripting

CycloneWolf, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

Guild Wars 2’s World vs World mode, but with an established IP and without the bolted-on single player content. And increase the team sizes while you’re at it. Sell cosmetic DLC to pay the bills if you must.

WvW was a blast until they shelved it for a year to focus on poorly-written single player DLC, and lost half of the community in the process. I tried going back a few years ago but it’s a grindfest now.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

Return of reckoning is a fan run continuation of the warhammer mmo, that might be something you enjoy.
