MellowYellow13, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

Went to Linux a couple months ago, its freaking awesome, you’ll never look back. And it is way easier to use than people make it out to be. Also my PC has never been faster thanks to having zero bloat.

Turned off the aggro on the patrolling demons in Murdered: Soul Suspect, because an otherwise peaceful detective adventure - where you play as a ghost investigating your own murder - really didn’t need the random stressful action sequences 🤷‍♂️ (Sadly you can’t turn off the floor traps, but at least those are stationary.)

Elevator7009,

Premise of that game is making me ask: have you played Ghost Trick before?

kazerniel,
@kazerniel@lemmy.world avatar

no, but it’s oh my wishlist :)

LiveLM,

The only flaw with that game is that there is no sequel :(

Solid base just outside West Point proper. A few too many windows and egresses, but glad you were still able to fortify.

BTW, B41 stable or B42 unstable?

Dr_Box,

B42 doesnt have multiplayer current afaik

You are absolutely correct. This is what happens when I comment way too early lol

Right now i’m mainly sticking to B41 for multiplayer. Once B42 gets multiplayer though me and my usual friend i play Zomboid with fully intend to make the switch though

I actually don’t know the way you’re supposed to beat Super Metroid “correctly.” I’ve always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.

I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don’t play the player’s choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.

About half the time I play Cyberpunk 2077 as a first-person RPG. The other half of the time I just play it as a city/driving-simulator.

What a great read. That’s exactly how I want to feel while playing and you’re post get all the fun vibes across. Thank you for the continuous effort.

Woo another one!

So many good games are coming out on the coat tails of the switch 2. And a majority of them work with the steam deck.

FilthyHands, do games w What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?

Echo Point Nova. Super fast and fun. Hoverboard, Wallrides, grapple, etc are all here.

@Apeman42@lemmy.world avatar

Ooh, I wasn’t thinking of first-person games, but that does look pretty gnarly.

FilthyHands,

The game makes you feel like a badass.

CarnivorousCouch,

I came here to recommend this, too. This game lets you really hit a nice vibe with the movement. Has co-op, too!

rylock, do games w Thoughts on Mario Kart World

I don’t see the appeal beyond for children.

Nintendo reminds me of Disney more and more, pulling out the same old tired franchises for increasingly cynical cash grabs that prey on people’s nostalgia.

@icecreamtaco@lemmy.world avatar

“for all ages” and “for kids” are two different things. They don’t make kids games except for some of the yoshi platformers and even those are still playable

Coelacanth, do games w Anyone else quit S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 to play Anomaly?
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Not really, though I can understand your point of view. I went into STALKER 2 fully aware that it wasn’t Anomaly, and I was able to enjoy it for what it is (despite needing to use console commands on three separate occasions to progress past hard-locking bugs). I finished it probably a month after release so don’t know its current state.

I was sufficiently engaged in the story and the presentation to definitely want to finish the game, and I enjoyed the new map and the blend of new and familiar locations. After spending so much time with the originals and the Anomaly map it was great to get a fix of more new content with the same vibe - some of the underground lab locations managed to hit classic STALKER vibes for me and kept me going to the end.

If I were to boot up some STALKER right now I might go for Anomaly over another run of S2 though, and that will probably continue to be the case until the DLC drops.

Please no hate

What’s worse, no hate, or no comments?

TheCatGameCompany,

I am here trying to get reasoned responses and feedback. If there are like 20 comments saying “Your content is sh!t and k!ll yourself” that is not going to help me and makes it harder to find those good comments I was looking for

WaitThisIsntReddit,

Okay here is my best. You want feedback on a video. You say in the video your videos are shitposts made in a day. Are you trolling? Are you lying? And if you’re doing neither, why should you expect anyone to care about some shit you made in a day? The AI voiceover, bad. You show a bad 3D model, joke about it, then show the real model which is almost as bad but has color. More bad models. The game in the editor looks terrible in every way a game can. Then you switch to some infini-runner mobile game and say youtube thinks you’re a bot and that’s why nobody watches your videos (that’s not why they’re very, very bad) so like and subscribe begging ensues with a loud as fuck ear rape sound. It was at this point that I lost all interest in you and your aspirations.

TheCatGameCompany,

Thanks for your feedback. And what you said about the looks of the game. I agree that It looks like shit. It doesn’t have any shaders, any particles, any post processing and the colors are off. This is a devlog about the game. Probably the game will look completely different from this towards the end. Now I am focusing on getting the systems and core mechanics done. And I am not the best 3d artist.

I just wanna say, I love these posts!

deoliveira, do games w GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

How about instead of this subscription talk, GOG could:

-Remake GOG Galaxy. The client is slow with tons of bloat. Focus on your store, and make a native Linux client.
-Help fund Wine. I find it weird that the main non-DRM store is so againat Linux. I know people that would leave Steam If GOG came to Linux.
-Different version and a tool to backup games should be part of the new launcher and not part of a subscription. You guys talk about game preservations and then try to put parts of it behind a paywall…
-A more realistic Dreamlist. Who had the idea of letting people submit any game they want? Dreamlist would work better if GOG choose a list of games and the community voted for what game for GOG to focus on. People really think that games that were console exclusive or old FIFA/NBA/Gran Turismo games will come to GOG.
-There are some games on GOG that don’t work, FIX THEM! (Looking at you Kane and Lynch)

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

With regards to the Dreamlist, this is so that they have ammunition to bring to rights holders. They just started bringing previously console exclusive games to GOG as well, so that barrier has been broken down. If there’s money in it, any game could be done.

deoliveira,

What console exclusive came to GOG?
I don’t belive GOG or EA would buy the license of old FIFA players just so they can publish old FIFA games.
It’s better to have a smaller curated list where players can vote and GOG choose a game to focus on. Right now the fact we can vote for dead live service games to come to a non-DRM store is just weird.

Whitebrow,

Does God of War count?

I know it came to pc as a whole but it’s available on GoG as well

deoliveira,

God of War came to Steam first, it wasn’t because of GOG efforts. The games that GOG manage to bring back (RE games and Dino Crisis for exemple) had japanese PC clients.

Whitebrow,

Pretty sure it released on both platforms at the same time, as far as I’m concerned any games that show up on GoG with no DRM take a bit of effort from GoG to actually verify and host the installers, more so when the contracts expire and they have to delist them and try to get them back

deoliveira,

Yes GOG takes a bit more time to verify the installer, but I’m sure when Sony put the games on PC the reason was the massive Steam (and maybe Epic) userbase, GOG was an afterthought.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

You know, I just checked the ones I was confident on, and it turns out they each had an obscure Windows port back in the day that I never heard of. Still, the other popular trend going on right now for porting old console games like Tomba and Mega Man is to run them through tools that emulate the game and then output native code, and I wouldn’t consider it a waste of time to show where the demand is. For old sports games, it may be difficult or impossible to acquire the old rights, but if it’s at all possible, and these are customers that aren’t making them money on the modern iterations, that’s still worth it too.

deoliveira,

I’m not saying that it’s a waste of effort. I’m just saying that it’s a way to disapoint people that don’t understand what the dreamlist is for.
Internet can be a bitch when people don’t get what they want.
I just did a quick search and saw Pokémon games there and some romhacks… No way in hell Nintendo would sell their games on PC in a non-DRM store.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

There is, if the money is there. Nintendo’s also under new management these days, and if the old strategies don’t work, they could pivot, just like Microsoft and Sony have.

deoliveira,

Nintendo would most likely sell PC games from their website first, and then after some time sell them on Steam. But the odds of Nintendo porting Switch games for PC is extremely low.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I agree, but it’ll be the only way they get my money. Everyone can see that PC line going up and that console line going down, so we’ll see how long they hold their ground; probably one generation longer than Sony does.

deoliveira,

Sony and Nintendo won’t go anywhere any time soon. Console gaming is easier and “cheaper” than PC gaming, and most people don’t care (or know about) non-DRM.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Consoles won’t go away, but they’re in the process of transforming. Peak spending on consoles was all the way back in 2009 and has dropped ever since. There are perhaps dozens of reasons for the change, but one of them might be that the average consumer picked up on the air quotes around the ways consoles are cheaper. As for non-DRM, as long as piracy remains better than the official option, there’s money being left on the table, and I have confidence that a lot of that will change too, though it will be far slower than I’d like.
