For me, it’s borderlands 2

I thought the gameplay was pretty good, in a “turn your brain off and shoot guys with gradually increasing numbers” kind if way, and I absolutely adored whenever Handsome Jack showed up, but that’s pretty much it

I’ve heard from more than a few sources that the shooting on that game’s peak, but it’s just kind of generic. Outside of Jack, I thought the writing was honestly pretty lacklustre as well, even getting annoying in more than one instance (CATCH A RIIIIIDE FUCK OFF DIPSHIT). The cell-shaded artsyle is quite pretty, I will give it that

At its core, I think it’s just… fine.

mrgoosmoos,

I love that game, spent hundreds of hours in it a while back, and don’t remember fuck all about the story.

it’s a shoot 'em up loot game, and it does a great job of it IMO

absolutely a brainded activity though. it and Bioshock are two different frames of mind when you’re playing them

CaptPretentious,

Did you play it solo or with people? I found the game to be fairly dull solo. It was better with people but the loot system still allowed a lot to be desired especially if you played with greedy people.

I’d played through about half of it myself years ago, and again fully with a friend recently

Sunsofold,

I get tired pretty quick of games where the multiplayer aspect is considered important to enjoying the game. If your friends are with you, you can enjoy literally sitting in the dirt doing basically nothing, just chatting. If your game requires me to also drag friends into it like some cultist, just to make it pass the bar into ‘fun’ then the game is a failure, plain and simple. They don’t get credit for the fun I brought with me to the show I paid for.

statisfactory 1.0: the game is pure eye candy there’s no endgame. factorio is leaps and bounds better

Yeah I’m a huge factorio player and I so badly wanted to like satisfactory but i can only describe the gameplay as cock and ball torture. For the first 6 hours you are getting kicked in the balls repeatedly by pointless tasks that drag you out of the automation loop. The game is not playable until you unlock the hydro power.

With friends it helped mask the pain.

@1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca avatar

I was not throwing shade in the game as it is pure eye candy, when you unlock the space elevator that was a “holy shit” moment. It does really look good, but factorio the base game, I could get lost in for days, nevermind doing mods like pyanodon.

@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Yes I agree it looks so amazing. I love seeing Satisfactory base tours and seeing all the different setups I just cant enjoy playing it myself sadly.

burntbacon,

Oh, damn. I’m like a few dozen hours in and still no hydro power. I must be a slow player. :(

I do, however, have a fifteen gajillion story high factory that I’m building, so there’s that!

Doom dark ages. Just upgraded my computer, and I thought ‘hey, I really liked 2016 and eternal, this’ll be great, and it’s got great reviews’. Nah, the whole game just felt…okay. I might try it again at some point and mess with the difficulty settings, but I felt like I was forcing myself to play it the whole way through.

normalexit,

I’m grinding through this one now. The graphics are great, and the game does feel like a modern doom, but the fun does seem to be lacking.

I’ll finish it, but don’t think I’d replay it.

favoredponcho,

I personally didn’t love the atmosphere of this game. Didn’t feel very doom like. The gameplay mechanics are also different, but I got used to them. The game is turning more and more into a rhythm game like DDR or Guitar hero where you need to do the right attack at the right time depending on what enemy you’re dealing with.

There’s a full decomp of it that should be W11 compatible, if you want the original experience.

SlurpingPus, do games w Day 477 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Haven’t played ‘Max Payne’ in twenty years, completely forgot what it looks like in-game, and still the first thought from the screenshot was “Max Payne”.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Both the games have really iconic art styles (and i’m sure the silhouette of Max gives it way too)

SlurpingPus,

Dunno about the artstyle: a lot of 90s to early-2000s 3d shooters had that grimy look, perhaps to show off the textures. But the jacket and the casually lowered gun definitely factored into the recognition.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I might be a bit biased too with the art style. My first playthrough was only last year and it’s really stuck with me. But yeah, the jacket and gun are definitely factors

st3ph3n, do games w Which year was the most stacked for game releases?

2004 has my vote. It was a golden age for PC gaming.

In Drake of The 99 Dragons, each time you die, (which happens often), you get roasted and humiliated by some gods in the after life for 10 seconds before they allow you to revive again. This has absolutely no reason to be here, except for doubling the loading screen time.

Could also mention, in the 6th installment of Touhou Project, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, if you play on easy, the game won’t even let you fight the final boss, mocking your pride on such simple level, and this game mode is usually commented as child play by the games in the whole franchise.

Kagu, do games w What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?

Horizon Zero Dawn is to this day the only game I have ever taken the time to listen to/read all the optional little lore drops in the world as I encountered it. Really well done IMO, even if the game is not overall that good, best world building I’ve experienced

REDACTED, do games w What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?

Definitely Kenshi. Rather old title where the world feels somewhat desolated, but so well thought out at the same time. Every place has a story behind it

count_dongulus, (edited )

Kenshi is maybe the only game I’ve played where the more I played, the more I was like “What the fuck shit hole have I been dropped into. What happened here.” And that feeling only increased the more of the world I explored.
