FlyLikeAMouse, do gaming w A love letter to Threes!

I genuinely believe that Threes! may be a perfect game - if anyone can tell me a single way it could be improved, I’d love to hear it.

I just had a look and, over the 9 years or so I’ve had it, I’ve played nearly 3000 games. I may have a problem.

bijuice,

It can be improved by not sending me 5 consecutive 2s while I’m fighting for my life on the last row of the board 😂

3000 games is mad! It really is addictive.

grhyn,

I have 27k games. I’m basically using Threes for stimming, not really trying to get any records, haha. Just very calming block sliding. Got 3072 only around 50 times and was close to 6144 a couple of those, but never got to it. Maybe one day I’ll go read some strategies on it and would try to achieve it, but for now I’m just content with what I have.

    I remember that when Star Trek Online was first announced, it was VERY different than what it is now... and it actually more closely resembled what you were describing. Each character would be free to do some of their own hero stuff in the galaxy but also be on 'hub ships' where you were a smaller part of a much larger whole, participating in shipboard stuff. Then it changed hands or somesuch, and the new leadership said, "Nobody just wants to be some random person on a starship! Everyone wants to be the captain!"

    To which I said, "No, actually... ._. I think I would enjoy just vibing on a supercool space ship with my Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism lifestyle." So it would be interesting to see someone try to do STO as it was originally intended.

    I want to know what Jet St Radio for the Wii could've been. Apparently one was tossed around, but at the end of the day was rejected. Tbf, this was 2006~ Sega, and it probably would've been trash. But I will still never not be curious about what could've been.

    Godort,

    You’ve probably already heard about it, but take a look into Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. It’s coming out in about a month and looks amazing.

    Ikr! I'm surprised it took so long for an indie project to fill the gap. If it's even half as good as jsrf, I'll be satisfied.

    • Anime cRPG, like if Obsidian collaborated with Atlus
    • MMORPG with Souls combat and no microtransactions (subscription model preferred)
    • Mass Effect, but with a good ending
    • A Bethesda game without bugs
    • Dating sim, but all romance options are your friends’ moms
    Im28xwa, do gaming w Gaming laptop or handheld PC?

    I should preface this by saying I didn’t try any of the handheld gaming PCs, I watched a review of the AyaNeo 2S, it uses the same APU as the Ally and still outperform it, especially at low wattages and if I remember correctly even the steam deck at the same power level maybe you wanna check that out!

    I would choose a gaming laptop over a handheld just for the versatility and upgradability, I have my eyes on the framework 16 it is very intriguing, to say the least

    Isles of Etherion? It’s probably even more demanding though.

    Two Worlds 2 had a very interesting idea for a magic system where you find cards and slot them to create and modify spells. It's pretty jank but maybe worth a look. The game also had one of the most interesting multiplayer setups for open world rpgs I've ever seen.

    AlexisLuna,

    From a cursory glance the spell system looks like close to what I’m looking for. Thank you for the suggestion!

    The Ally is what you’d want. Laptops aren’t really all that portable if portability is the goal. The Deck would be better from a “pick up and play” perspective but if you use Game Pass it’d be worth it to pick up the Ally instead, obviously.

    BlackMark3tBaby, do gaming w Gaming laptop or handheld PC?

    Don’t sleep on the Ally. I fucking LOVE this thing. I haven’t had any issues running anything I’ve asked it to at impressive specs (med to high for most). That includes Diablo 4, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, No Man’s Sky, Dying Light 2 just to make a few.

    I was saving up for a steam deck but then I heard about this bad boy and Best Buy offered financing and I was sold.

    No regrets.

    If your laptop is having issues running Hogwarts Legacy, it might be relevant to include your laptop specs as well as some more specifics on what you’re looking for in a magic game.

    Do you just want the magic system to be simple, or do you also want a simple, casual game? For example, Little Witch Nobeta has a simple magic system with a focus on magic combat, but it’s a Souls-like, so it could be on the difficult side.

    AlexisLuna,

    Thanks for reminding me about specs, I’ll add them to the post. Though I assume that it’s mostly on Hogwarts being unoptimised, because my laptop can play Cyberpunk2077 and X-4 foundations well enough. It’s 8gb ram; Ryzen5 3550h so the processor is only 3 years old. I guess 4g VRAM isn’t enough for the physics sim of MC’s clothes (seriously why is it enabled even on lowest settings).

    In a game I want decent magical combat. I want to have magical attacks that have varied effects and counters. Something that makes you think which spell to use and when. I guess the most important part for me is counters. So for example, if the enemy has a magical shield, you have to somehow deal with it first, you can’t just spam click your best spell.

    Check out Magicka. Simple (-ish), unusual and really fun with friends (combos!) but also totally doable as a single player.

    AlexisLuna,

    I’ve seen it on steam, and while it’s combat is kinda what I’m looking for, the top-down perspective and more arcade-like gameplay aren’t what I want to play right now. Still, thank you!

    Another alternative is you can get one of those phone controllers, and stream from your desktop PC using moonlight (client) and sunshine (server).

    If your home internet has okay latency it works for a lot of controller-centric games just fine.

    I’m still trying to figure out how reddit expects to “become profitable” while simultaneously destroying everything that made it valuable.
