Because you like Call of Duty so much it’s the only game you ever play? 🤷‍♂️

I hate this shit, and it really sucks because I like competitive games, and all the competitive games made since, like, 2015 have been loaded with FOMO MTX bullshit which the devs exckusively focus on while balance and bug fixes get tossed to the way side. They are banking on players having more fun spending money than actually playing a fun game.

Yeah it’s gotten shitty. I used to play competitive shooters all the way back to the original Team Fortress mod in classic Quake. It’s not really fun anymore, for me anyway. It’s way too overproduced and overmonetized, it’s become a serious business, there’s too much on the line so anti-cheating becomes a priority and it just sucks all the fun out of everything. I’m reminded of the scene in Ted Lasso where Roy Kent takes Jamie back to the little local pitch he grew up playing at with other guys on his street so he can remember what it’s like to just play the game for fun again where there’s no money on the line and nobody is watching you.

My suggestion would be have you considered getting into speedrunning at all? It’s highly competitive, but is available for basically every game imaginable, can be done solo and can’t really be gatekept by the multiplayer gods. And there are many different categories for all sorts of different playstyles. It’s not just a straight line to the fastest finish either, or grinding out the best run after thousands of attempts, depending on the style you get into there’s strategy and risk and RNG can sink you or save you. Most competitive fun I’ve ever had was speedrunning Legend of Zelda randomizers against people head-to-head. Same seed, same start time, green light go and your skill and choices will decide the outcome. There’s a lot of fun to be had, I think, and it goes in a lot of different directions if you take some time to look around the scene to find if there any parts of it that appeal to you.

You don’t. You play single player games like me and get to experience cool stories instead of dopamine lacking rage inducing PvP games.

I haven’t watched it myself yet but I’ve heard a lot of good things about Mapocolops playthrough of it and I’ve watched plenty enough of his other Let’s Plays to vouch for him in general.

KhanLee,

I second Mapocolops, all of his souls lets plays are great. He’s one of the few lets players that actually reads item descriptions and tries to understand the story and lore.

Been watching this, enjoying it. Thank you!

Mapocolops is one of the best Let’s Players out there. Always engages with the story and tries to pay attention, likes reading everything and getting immersed, very genuine while still managing to be very entertaining in an authentic way instead of contrived and faked. Also regularly plays retro games, which is very refreshing and sets him apart a bit.

Does it have to be PTDE?

I could play through it. I’m 40, don’t talk and know the game like the back of my hand. But I’d prefer the Remaster since it’s not all fucked up in Blighttown or the last half of the game.

Aeao,

Not op. Link it and I’ll watch it. There are a lot of games I’m too lazy to play but want to know about the lore and storyline.

It’s very hard to find that sweet spot between complete silence and “omg you don’t need to explain every single item in every single chest!”

Knowing the game inside and out gives you the advantage of being like “you need to know this about what’s going on, also this over here is world building lore, that over there is just randomized loot tho so I’ll skip it”

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

It would be complete silence ATM since I don’t have a mic.I am planning on getting a pair of lappel mics once I receive the gift card I won last week, tho. Not sure when that’ll be, but I was planning on streaming damn near everything I do once I get that.

Aeao,

You could start streaming now as practice but yeah I’d only be interested after you got the mic. Let me know when you got that going and I’ll take a look. There’s a lot of us out there who just want to watch a semi casual play they of a game. Some conversations but not a 16 hour deep dive into the sword mechanics.

Same with personal banter, maybe tell a funny story but leave out life dramas lol

Just a chill game watching experience for a game I’m too lazy to play.

First positive thing I have heard about the remaster. They killed dead-angling and I’m still mad about it.

Kolanaki, (edited )
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

They killed dead-angling

Uh… What?

All they did was make it an option in the controls like in 3 instead of always being on. You can definitely still dead-angle in DS:R if you turn it on. Or just don’t use lock-on.

Full gameplay or just highlights?, with Lore explanation or just playing the game?

BobbleBubble,
@BobbleBubble@retrolemmy.com avatar

Playthrough. Some lore explanation would be amazing especially if it’s not like a constant stream of narration.

Does it have a 3D display?

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

No, Nintendo is the only one who managed that! This is just straight AMOLED

Karjalan,

I mean… The 3D idea was pretty cool, and it worked surprisingly well, but I realistically never used it other that for fun occasionally.

I’ve just hacked and started reusing my old 3DS and it’s great fun! Can download most games abs cool hacks/mods to modify them.

Is this able to hook up with the same software as 3DS so I could do the same on it?

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

You don’t need that same software. The principle is still the same though, you’re loading ROMs of games on there. The 3DS console method simplifies it because they created their own freeshop, but with this, you’re going to load the ROMs yourself.

spicehoarder,

That’s not true, there are other companies making glasses free 3D displays. For me, no 3D is a deal breaker for a device like this

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Can you put a few more red circles on the photo to help? Maybe a couple arrows too.

I’ve seen some previews of upcoming trainees, and watched a friend play in the JP servers.

I can’t wait for Akebono’s banner. She’s hilarious.

You need to get cod because everybody has cod. Its cod. You ever told a colleague/schoolfriend/acquaintance/anyone that you like video games? Their next question is “what prestige cod are you”. Cod is love. Cod is life. Cod is the game. You’re not a loser are you?

TigerAce,

Excellent choices

I understand the single player campaigns are somewhat fun. I’ve had Black Ops on my Steam wishlist for years and it has never been on a decent sale.

TigerAce,

I don’t like the black ops series. The modern warfare games had a really nice single-player, or at least the first 2 (I haven’t played any cod after that, they already broke it).
