TevTra, do games w A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again

I really wished there are more games that implement something like the gambit system from FF12. My dream game is some monster / pet collecting and battling game plus the gambit system from FF12. now if only n*ntendo wouldn’t be such an @ss

prole,

Check out Unicorn Overlord (I know, awful name).

Definitely a different kind of game than FF12, but the way the combat works reminds me quite a bit of gambits. Really fun game too, with beautiful art style.

TevTra,

Oh, it’s one of Vanillaware games with their distinct art style! Doesn’t seems to be released on steam though. Too bad because it seems like a perfect game to play on the steam deck.

prole,

Bummer… And yeah, it is, I put a ton of hours into it in PS4 remote streaming to my Deck

Tanking with shields (force/kinetic shields in sci-fi games, not physical shields)

I liked when games let you face-tank damage with your shield (like in Mass Effect, before Andromeda where they made shields weak af and even removed shield gating) and not having to care for healing (unless you lose all your shields)

I don’t know if it’s due to the souls-like trend, but it feels like game developers need to make punitive games nowadays

Battlezone II had force shields. They used your vehicle’s weapon energy. The shields used energy, and also taking hits would drain your energy. You needed a ship with fast energy regen to make the most use out of them. One ship from the X-Mod mod, the Jade Falcon, could actually regenerate faster than the shields drained. So you could keep them on all the time, and still shoot some. It wasn’t invincible by any means, but that regen speed plus the fact that the radar ping twice as frequently made it my absolute favorite ship.

Congrats on the 500! And damn, that Orc looks like he came straight from a goth rave

It’s boring work being an Orc. You definitely need some sort of hobby to keep busy. So why not try goth raves?

catfeeder, do games w A screenshot that is the old evidence of my first ever attempt at a game.

YEAH KILL PUSH THE SKELETON!!!

Here’s a screenshot for my first “game” on LOVE2d:

The creature just follows your cursor and can teleport if you press a button lol

After many years I finished myself a few weeks ago! Nice gameplay, and funny you mention Arkham which I played for the first time also a month ago and it’s definitely recycled mechanics, which is good!

Shadow of Mordor is around 2014, right? I wonder if they took inspiration from WB work on Arkham Origins

Day 500! Awesome! Thank you for posting all of these. I rarely comment, but I do love seeing them. :)

Grats on 500! It’s always fun to see what game you have up next, thanks for the ongoing shares

aeronmelon,

keeps going back to Minecraft and Mario Kart 64, because superior games

A Spider-man game with the swinging mechanics of the PS2 Spider-man 2 game. Or just a remake of that game. The new ones are fine and fun but the older game absolutely nailed the web swinging.

Fun unlockables by doing some cheat.

Imagine telling a FIFA player that you used to be able to have a dog as referee by doing the Konami code. And it was not behind a fucking paywall.

International Super Star Soccer for SNES had this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYaHPm-yDl8&t=63

commanderschlepper,

Dude I miss unlocking fighting game characters. Now they’re all purchaseable… Like you literally can’t just earn them from beating the arcade mode - that is if the game has an arcade mode to begin with these days

prole,

I think the last game I played that did it was Smash Bros Ultimate, and that’s barely a fighting game imo

OneWomanCreamTeam,

It’s a platform fighter.

The number of “cheat codes” that were actually just bonus content. Like I remember there were codes in Diddy Kong Racing where you could change all the power-up balloons to any color, like all red or all blue. I also remember there were codes in Mechwarrior II that unlocked a few mechs. Like, there were NPCs in a few missions that were a Tarantula, a Battlemaster, and there were elementals in one level. You could cheat to play as them, but the Battlemaster crashed the game.

Good times.

ordnance_qf_17_pounder, (edited ) do games w A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again

Mechanics from the Mercenaries series. Destructible buildings, getting weapons and vehicles dropped to you anywhere at any time. Being able to ally with different factions. Oh, and the ability to call in airstrikes. Bunker busters, cluster bombs, artillery barrages, etc. Just Cause and Metal Gear Solid V are the closest things to that. But they just aren’t the same.

And the ability to just fly like Superman. I’d like that in more games.

dil,

whyd you write my comment for me

dil,

I want to see more modular building for vehicles and bases and fun traversal options. So many open world walking sims, it gets old. Or fun mounts that are more than just faster walking. (Rdr horses but fantasy beasts that ride differently)

dil,

No one brings planes into sht, why don’t mmos have magic planes, idk if seeing it in random anime as a kid changed my expectations but we should have ww2 magic based planes. Bothers me so much that fantasy societies are supposedly so smart, have such advanced magic, but couldn’t come up with magic cars. Like suspension, engines, etc. are just too complicated for them.

mrgoosmoos,

they’re just a really nice person

Split screen coop/multiplayer

Way too many games only let you do multiplayer with one player and have online only coop campaigns

Used to be pretty standard that a guest could play with you online

PeriodicallyPedantic,

The thing new games don’t have that I miss from old games is friends to play the game with 😭

Suck_on_my_Presence, do games w A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again

Arcade racers that aren’t just… Bad.

Burnout Revenge was a beloved game of my childhood. You had bonuses from wrecking your foes, got bonuses for creating wrecks, and for near death experiences. And there was an awesome mode where you would launch your car into a scene to cause as much damage as possible.

Midnight Club 2 where you could customize your cars and race them on fun tracks, but could also just beep around the open world.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I would love a fun racing game that doesn’t have a GTA attached to it.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Check out Trail Out.

ZoteTheMighty,

This is literally why people spend $500 on a switch 2; it has the only arcade racer on the market worth playing. If you don’t want a single-game console or Mark Kart isn’t whst you’re looking for, tough luck.

SlurpingPus, (edited )

SuperTuxKart is alright, from what I understand. They’re also making a new version apparently. Though I’m not into karting arcades, so dunno for sure how it compares.

SlurpingPus,

Try ‘Wreckfest’: it’s similar to ‘Burnout’, but with better physics. Also ‘Circuit Superstars’ for a top-down racer with decent physics, pit stops, and multiplayer.

There are also ‘The Crew 2’ and ‘The Crew Motorfest’, ‘Tokyo Xtreme Racer’, ‘Asphalt Legends’, ‘Formula Legends’, ‘iRacing Arcade’, and of course ‘Forza Horizon’ 4/5 — but I haven’t played any of these, so ymmv.

A mechanic to permanently gain new attacks and/or abilities by mastering equipment. I haven’t seen that many games have this mechanic and it’s mostly been adult games for some reason. I think Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep is the only non-adult game I’ve seen to have this mechanic.

I just remembered another one. The Gambits system from Final Fantasy 12. I’ve always liked this mechanic because it almost completely automates battles, allowing you to focus more on exploration and treasure hunting. I have only seen two games do this and, once again, FF12 is the only non-adult game I’ve seen with this type of mechanic.

edgemaster72, (edited )
@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 kind of has the gaining abilities from mastering equipment thing you mentioned, it’s not really equipment in that you can’t see the items being put on, but you equip items that give abilities and after a few battles with it you master the ability and can change to another item but equip the ability through a separate resource pool.

vortexal,
@vortexal@sopuli.xyz avatar

That is actually part of what I meant by having permanent access to the ability. One of the games I didn’t mention in my comment does it like that, where you get the abilities by mastering equipment but then you have to use AP to actually activate it like how abilities were in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. I’ve actually been interested in playing Clair Obscure because I’ve heard that it’s one of the best RPGs to exist. The only problem is that, because it’s a modern game, I don’t know it it’ll run on my computer and I don’t have another way to play it.

edgemaster72,
@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

I hope you get to play it some day, it’s very good

pory,
@pory@lemmy.world avatar

You can always try it out and refund it on Steam if it doesn’t run well (or pirate it, test it, then buy it if it does). The prologue is actually one of the most hardware-taxing parts of the game, so you’ll know in about 20 minutes if your system can play it well.

vortexal,
@vortexal@sopuli.xyz avatar

I could do that but I might have to wait until we switch ISPs. My current internet speed is terrible and the ISPs that we’re looking into have significantly better speeds. For context, I’m currently trying to download a game from Itchio that’s only 700 MB and, on top of the fact that it keeps failing, it needs over half an hour to download for me.

pory,
@pory@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, in that case you’d definitely want to get the game via Steam or torrents. Both of those options have resumable downloads so if you’re on slow Internet it’ll just be… Slow. It won’t “fail and need to restart”. It’ll just take a day or whatever to download.

vortexal,
@vortexal@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yeah, I’ve downloaded games through Steam before. I actually had to switch over to the Itchio desktop app because downloads through their desktop app are more stable than their website. And yes, I know that I should probably just use their app to download games but I just hate using app stores on PC, it’s the same reason Steam isn’t my preferred source for games.

@VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

Final Fantasy 9 had you learn skills from equipment.

prole,

Have you played Tokyo Mirage Sessions?

Weird game in general, but some of my favorite turn based combat ever. I think you permanently learn abilities from weapons if I recall.

vortexal,
@vortexal@sopuli.xyz avatar

No, assuming I found the game you’re referring to, I’ve never owned a Wii U and while my mom owns a switch, I don’t use it. I also don’t think I’d be able to emulate it either. It seems interesting but I wont be able to play it right now.

prole,

Yeah it was rereleased on Switch. Could probably emulate it if you really wanted but yeah dunno if it’s worth the effort
