cymor, do games w Mini Metro -- surprisingly simple but compelling game mechanics and fantastic UI design

I just introduced my kids to it. It’s a classic.

Can you win this game or it just continues until you die?

There are goals you have to meet to be counted as a win and move on to the next stage but ultimately it's a high score attack type of game

That’s called “arcade,” basically.

An actually high quality mobile game… I never played it myself but was quite happy for iOS gamers when it came around. Should play it some day.

smeg,

That’s probably because it’s a PC game that was ported to phones!

It had a giveaway on Android, and I think iOS, 5 years ago. It’s certainly one of the most creative minimalist games out there, but I just couldn’t figure out how to get up to higher scores.

Question for you. I have seen your posts on a occasion and you have played lots of open world games. Red dead redemtion 2, far cry 3 and now the new ac.

How you are not getting open world fatigue?

Dariusmiles2123,

And also how do you manage to play so much?

I can only play around 7 hours a week so I’m kind of avoiding long games.

peoplebeproblems,

Open world fatigue?

MrFinnbean,

Many openworld games have so much things to do that at some point its easy for the games to start feel like endless stream of meaningless busywork. Its easy to just stop playing or start to just speedrun trough the game.

peoplebeproblems,

Hmmm.

That’s… Actually something I haven’t thought about. That’s a good point

They’re mostly also just all the same, so playing one after another back-to-back exacerbates the issue, at least for me. There are some exceptions, but that checklist filled Ubisoft collect-a-thon design philosophy really wears you out quick. At least it does me.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

This is honestly the first I’m hearing of Open World fatigue. If I had to take a guess it’s a combination of the games playing differently, completely different stories, and different kinds of worlds. Idk though, maybe I’m just more tolerant is all

I’ve never played an AC game, but that one looks beautiful and is kinda intriguing to me.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It’s definitely really pretty and runs pretty well too. I have it set to the base High Option and it runs at around 60 FPS for me with my specs (which is the max my monitor goes)

dota__2, do games w Is there any interest for a "Pokemon VGC"-like game?

why? you’re not going to compete with pokemon so are you wanting to practice your coding and balance design? the point of my post is to ask you to think about your personal goals for project like this.

green, (edited )

True on all accounts

I would like a “federated” and open battle simulator. I would also like some viable alternative to pokemon for turn-based monster battling (the only one I know of is Temtem, and it’s not doing well). Pokemon could also pull the plug on “Pokemon Showdown” at any moment. Though they are benevolent today, they may not be tomorrow.

I’m not really looking to compete with Pokemon, it just has a game-mode that inspired the project. Kind of like “Warcraft 3” and “League Of Legends” - they are not competitors at all, but LoL wouldn’t exist without Wc3.

dota__2,

as long as you understand why and what you’re after, go crazy.

that being said, wow is not why lol exists. wc3 is.

green,

thanks again. and yeah my mistake on the warcraft (now edited)

dota__2,

tbf it’s just semantics. i’ve almost certainly said the same at some point.

Duamerthrax, do games w What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

I can’t even leave the starting room of the original System Shock. So glad the remake updated the controls.

I did manage to finish System Shock 2, but the “puzzles” are just RNG, so I’m hoping the remaster changes that and maybe even fixes the ending.

VitoRobles,

I just played the original System Shock and System Shock 2. Incredible games.

I saw the trailer for the remake for the first one and wanted one last memory before I get my mind blown.

Duamerthrax, (edited )

The remake for the first game is so actuate to the original, you can use the old walkthough guides to beat it.

You could tell the ending was cut short for time with SS2. It would be nice if they took some creative liberties to bring it closer to what it was originally suppose to be.

Flagstaff,
@Flagstaff@programming.dev avatar

This is ironic because I loved Prey but couldn’t finish SS2’s tutorial!

Happy to see GameInformer back

As for games: two point museum and nordhold

2point Museum has been a blast with all the commentary, announcements and fun descriptions and nordhold scratches that tower defence with meta progression itch

From the video during a cinematic sequence: “there’s somebody talking but I muted that part”

The visuals are nice but cmon, you can’t play it with no sound :/

007 games. But the N64 soundtrack was great.

WordBox,

Esp given 007 on N64 varied so widely.

Idk how Goldeneye was ever playable yet it damn well was and the best!

inzoi being no devuno is amazing, I’m super hyped for it, I hope it’s good

RiQuY,

Don’t get baited, they said they removed Denuvo from the Early Access, we will see what happens in the full release, if it goes out of EA ever.

Pika,
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

they said it’s not in it due to restrictions on modding and hindering freedoms, I would assume they have no plans at all for having it any. ore as the rest of the post would fall apart otherwise, but yea i guess take it with a grain of salt if you like. I’m hopeful it won’t have it.

My main racer: bowser. Sure, slow acceleration, but enough mass that at speed you can knock people either in front or behind you into a spin so easily.

The Heavyweights are fun to play for sure. I love that they can spin people out like you mentioned(even if it does become my worst enemy when I’m playing lighter characters)

I use the Decky plugin, and paid for GOG support, but they have their work cut out for them in convincing me to pay for this. Running Heroic isn’t that much of a hassle.

It’s an actor ACTING as someone else that’s the whole point of ACTING. People need to stop with this bullshit.

galanthus,

How do you act like you have black skin, for instance?

  • madcaesar,

    How do you act as anyone else ever? Unless you are a genetic clone of the person you must not be allowed to act!

    galanthus,

    Acting is not about changing the appearance.

    Race is relevant since it tells us quite a bit about someone and people of different races are and have historically been treated differently by society. Japanese people, for instance, were(still are) quite xenophobic.

    Why not cast an african or a white person as the Emperor of Japan then? Can’t they act?

    Let’s have a white Martin Luther King. Let’s make black people play slaveowners and whip other blacks around, surely they can act quite well.

    Halosheep,

    You’re right. We should absolutely, not once, not ever, have a person who doesn’t perfectly, down to the finest detail, match the description of the character they are depicting act for that role.

    I saw a local stage play of madame web where a woman played a male character. It literally wasn’t even a distraction and they sold the character well.

    VitoRobles,

    Commenter said Black Skin.

    You said “finest detail”.

    What are you smoking?

    Halosheep,

    Commenter sounds like they would complain about Arial being black because her original character was white.

    You really wanna defend that?

    VitoRobles,

    Wait are you taking about cartoon mermaids and their skin color? You know, because of mermaid science?

    VitoRobles,

    Australian method actor and five-time Academy Award winner, Kirk Lazarus, can explain.

    Nasan,

    Ah yes, the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude approach

    LainTrain, (edited ) do games w Upscaling is actually good (as an option)

    Meh, I’d rather play at lower settings than upscale. DLSS just looks like muck and the rest of them are indistinguishable from just turning down the resolution to like 480p for funsies but also with added artifacts.

    I don’t know any game my RTX 3090 can’t crush GPU wise at 1440p at decent settings. I even turned off path tracing in 2077 because I didn’t want to ever use DLSS until I found the mod that drops a few casts for enough performance to hit the mid 40 FPS mark.

    But there is one situation where I support the brainrot and that’s on portables. Steam Deck did the right thing by having a nice OLED 1280x800 16:10 screen instead of chasing resolution, it looks great, but if they do up it as most g*mers seem to want them to for mostly nonsensical reasons, FSR could work there, and something like DL DSR could help for games with small details if they go for an 800p screen again which I certainly hope they do.

    One thing I won’t miss for sure is TAA, fuck TAA so much all my homies hate that shit. DLAA is at least better but never forget they took SMAA and MSAA away from you for this absurd world where consoles advertise themselves as 4k, 8k while they run games at barely 720p via checkerboarding and what have you and have ray tracing comparisons that you’d swear are satire
