The New Tetris (N64). For the 4x4 block making, and the awesome drum & bass soundtrack!

The newer Anno installments. I’m not buying another Ubisoft game unless they get rid of their stupid Launcher, and I’m also not buying anything with Denuvo and similar BS.

Played through the Nioh 3 Demo. It seems fine, a lot of changes from the previous games (especially if you compare Nioh 1 to 2, which is mostly the same game), that need some time to get used to.

My main problem with the game right now is the price. 80€ is just far too much, even if I’d probably put hundreds of hours into the game (if the first two are anything to go by). I’ll either wait for it to get cheaper or get it from a key reseller, not sure yet.

Then, I’m deep into Act 3 in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. At this point combat is mostly trivial, although I just completed a dungeon/area that was just a massive slog with overtuned enemies (Blackwater) that made me question my life choices. Nothing new for this series, Kingmaker had similar balancing issues (basically the last third of the game). Still having fun most of the time.

Last third of Kingmaker really soured me on Owlcat and has made me postpone WotR indefinitely. Shame to hear some of the same issues appearing again in it. How does it compare otherwise? I am also somewhat hesitant about the epic setting and godslaying type of story compared to the more grounded Kingmaker. Is the writing good?

Bloodborne

The last console I owned was a PS3, and I don’t plan on ever having another. Sony thankfully mostly got with the program and released a bunch of their stuff on PC, but Bloodborne remains a standout.

GunValkyrie,

Emulating bloodborne is really good now. It is 100% playable with rare minor bugs now. Highly recommend playing it. It’s the best souls orne out there. Imo

Underwaterbob,

What kind of specs do you need to run it smoothly? Does any of the online stuff work?

GunValkyrie,

So I will be honest and say I have a beefy computer. Intel i9 13900k and a 4090. But I run it at 1440p at 60fps. I see people playing it on the steam deck but I haven’t tried that myself.

Underwaterbob,

I’m running a 5600x with a 3080. I might be alright. I’ll have to check it out.

AC Shadows

I want to play it but fuck Ubisoft

anarchyrabbit,

Sail the high seas. That way you don’t support them and get to play it. I haven’t pirated a game for many years but some game houses deserves what comes to them

Jumi,

Nah, pirating is not worth the effort. I just don’t play it

I can’t seem to find any trace of it now, but I had a version of Tetris on Macintosh back in the early 90s that I swear was just called “Annoying Tetris.” It would insult your moves with sarcastic comments via audio samples as you played. When you died it would play a sample of Bill Paxton saying “Game Over, man! Game over!” from Aliens.

I mean they‘re little Android devices so I expect them to pull that off. Most of them can comfortably run games like Hollow Knight or N64 roms.

No, these are Linux, not Android

CosmoNova,

That‘s rare for small handhelds but it doesn‘t really change anything.

zergtoshi,

It changes the way to build software for them and the (size of) the target audience a lot.

ThunderComplex, do games w What is the definitive way to play certain games?

For League of Legends the definitive way to play is to not start. I swear I do not know of any other game that has such addictive properties while being so absolutely fucking awful. You don’t stop playing this game, You take extended breaks.
Friends don’t let friends play League

KuroiKaze,

I found it incredibly easy to walk away from. Whatever it is that is supposed to be addicting about it it just didn’t fire on me at all.

ThunderComplex,

The chosen one!

KuroiKaze,

Hahaha I’m also the kind of person who has never bought a single cosmetic in a video game. I think I just don’t have an addictive personality generally.

ThunderComplex,

OK well that just makes sense. Cosmetics are so dumb. $25 to look different? Do you know how many games I can buy with that?

baronofclubs,

I was the same way. Got about 20 hours in and just couldn’t get into it. I played with friends, bot matches, ranked, a variety of characters, and just never got the appeal. I really don’t have a competitive spirit, so maybe that’s the draw I’m not getting.

moakley, do games w Tetris Variations

Depends on how strict we’re being with “version of Tetris”. If we’re talking loosely about falling block puzzle games, then my favorite one is Attactics. It’s part of UFO50.

Instead of four-block clusters, Attactics uses individual blocks that represent different types of troops, each one with a unique ability. And instead of falling from the top of the screen towards the bottom, they move from the left of the screen towards the right. And instead of forming complete lines in order to score points, they clash against the enemy’s troops and attempt to make it to their fortress on the other side of the map.

Looking at Attactics on its own, it looks like a fast-paced simplified strategy game. But when you get your hands on the game, it becomes clear that it shares a lot in common with Tetris.

I had a game on my Pocket PC in the 2000s called Cyclotomix.

That was my favorite Tetris-like

I was rocking my DSlite with a flash card back in 2009, used it as my mp3 player, ebook reader, and of course games.

@BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world avatar

I still rocked it yesterday. It’s a great little MP3 player. I take it rustic camping because the battery life is so good.

mech, do games w What is the definitive way to play certain games?

The definitive way to play Skyrim is to take a shot every time someone says “dragon”.

C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq,

Recommending that might be tantamount to manslaughter. Better check with a lawyer first.

mech,

OK, what about “eat the same things your character eats”?

Quetzalcutlass,

I would, but someone stole my sweetroll.

mech,

Stop complaining and finish your cheese wheels.

Quetzalcutlass,

Only seventy pounds of cheese to go! That last fight was rough.

mech,

Quick question: Did you get the password and username fields mixed up when you made your Sopuli account?

C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq,

That’s crazy talk! What kind of lunatic would make a password without at least 3 symbols?!

Tetris Effect in VR

GunValkyrie,

Also lumines arise

TheMinions,

Lumines is a very fun one. In fact it’s so ingrained into me that the blocks fall in that way that I will mess up my Tetris blocks all the time.

GunValkyrie,

The way it merged the music with the movements engages me so easily.

First person Tetris was freaky.

One of their best for sure

sauerkrautsaul,

Wolves in Wolves clothing is their best imo. mike actually said so at the first show of the final tour in barcelona (I was there). he said “people thing punk in drublic is our best album but its really [wolves]”

Yeah I agree actually. I knew it the first time I heard wolves. The song wolves in wolves clothing is amazing.
