These games feel like they were made for people 30y old than I am. The writing is atrocious…

because old people like atrocious writing?

verdi,

When you’re 80, your patience isn’t what it used to be 😏

prole,

That’s weird since the last comment I read said they were 36 and felt it was for people 20 years younger than them.

verdi,

20 and 80 seems about the right parallel, they both vote for fascists in droves so it kinda checks out. I’d wager the level of idiocy is neck and neck.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

It’s only $3 on play store and iPhone store. The phone version has the advantage that you only have to cast/input each spell once, and then you have a button to press.

Is the writing any better? I’m 36 and it felt like 4 was written for players 20 years younger than me

Close to finishing act 1 and JD is still the MC so writing is still fine. Not sure about the rest of the game

jacksilver,

It’s definitely more interesting than 4. It’s been a while since I played either, but remember thinking 5 felt like a better game all around.

I got bored of the semi open-world part but it was still much better than Gears 4.

I think I’m just one chapter before the open world section. It’s gonna make more sense in a few hours why it’s boring to me

Not as much as in my teens, but yes.

Shocked this game had any sequels at all. Came out sometime after the original halo and it had like 4 weapons. Did they add more?

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, there are some pretty fun weapons in the Gears sequels. I like the torque bow.

B0NK3RS,
@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not sure what Halo has to do with it? Also from what I remember Gears was a huge franchise back in the peak Xbox 360 days so of course it got sequels

VerseAndVermin,

I think you just noted why they compared them. Both were huge.

Kinda sad to see the state of them now.

Some would say weapons aren’t the only thing that makes a game good

Super Mario Bros - 1 out of 10 “not enough weapons”

Mass Effect 1? Trash, not enough weapons

rafoix,

“Not enough effects. False advertising”

Nelots,

Honestly. Games that came out after late 2001 and have less than 5 weapons have no business getting sequels. That said, I feel like we’re ignoring some more important criteria here. Like the amount of main characters named John. Gears of War didn’t have any! Can you believe that??

frongt,

It’s him, John Gears, of War

wouldn’t it be crazy if they could, i dunno, add weapons in sequels?

XeroxCool, do games w Day 493 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

I played AC: Rogue most recently. Its the first time I refused to 100% the missions and, for the most part, skipped collectibles. I started off going for everything and was struggling to enjoy it and didn’t feel motivated to play it. Granted, Rogue is a weak game in the series (alternate dev), but I still wanted the story (even though the script and voice acting was laughable at points).

I 100%d the missions and got 90%+ collectibles (in this order) in Unity, Syndicate, Origins, Odyssey, and IV prior to that. It was kinda nice to be free and and pin myself in side-quest-purgatory at 90% mission completion to not “end the game too soon”.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Rogue is definitely a weak game, and i say that as someone who enjoyed Rogue. I tried to 100% it too and got stumped. It’s a shame, because the idea of making unique last gen games in series is something I think was a good idea for players who can’t get newer hardware, just the execution was kind of poor.

What is an alis?

DuskAlis,

This is a project in active development: a survival game with deep simulation.

The game recreates real locations (satellite data + 3D geodesign), simulates real resources (water, food with calories, sleep, injuries), teaches useful skills, and creates connections between players.

myfunnyaccountname, do gaming w We don't have to make it complicated

I don’t like 1:1 ports for a simple reason. The janky af controls and cameras. Sure 1:1 is fine for some older games. But some games could use a coat of paint before a port. I don’t want that nostalgic feeling of playing an old game for the sake of playing an old game. I want that nostalgic feeling of “holy shit this is crazy” from advancements in technology.

MrScottyTay, (edited ) do gaming w We don't have to make it complicated

This is why i like the FF7 remakes because they’re more than just retreading the same steps and story. At face value they are but if you have played the original you’ll soon notice that there’s something going on with the story that kind of makes it more of a sequel, rather than a “remake”.

The naughty dog kind are the worst in my opinion. A waste of time, money and talent. If you’re going to remake a game now, I want something that makes it worth playing whilst not replacing the original. The only way I think I’d be mostly okay with a remake replacing an original is if they’re remaking a shit game to make it good, but they never do that.

How did you finish Minecraft?

spaciouscoder78,
@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

To me, killing off the ender dragon is the end of minecraft but this run was with friends in a server so we did a speedrun of it. My friends are extremely experienced players so we beat the ender dragon in just 4 days of starting the game. We’re currently building stuff in our server and exploring end game content

SippyCup,

Years and years ago I had a server with a few friends and we built a massive city populated with villagers. It got to the point where you couldn’t ever have the entire thing loaded at once because there were so many.

Then they did an update and we stopped playing and that was the last time I touched it.

Godamn, how’d you have time?

spaciouscoder78,
@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

an hour everyday and 3 hours during a weekend is usually enough provided that you dont play multiplayer games at all. Even 30 mins a day is usually enough to finish a lot of games but im not that consistent these days. You can notice the gap between skyrim and red dead (ignore minecraft and fo76)

njm1314,

Oh I didn’t see the dates. Now I really don’t believe you. There’s no fucking way you finish Spider-Man that fast. I played that game. 2 days? Even if it was a weekend you didn’t finish that thing in 6 hours. A lot of these games are very long games.

spaciouscoder78,
@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

Spiderman 1 took me 2-ish weeks to platinum. Miles Morales platinum took just 3 days. That was during a vacation and I clocked in 6-8 hours of gaming in a day for miles morales. Main game is like 6 hours + a few hours for the extras and NG+ makes the game a lot easier + I played on friendly neighbourhood. It’s pretty doable.

@x00z@lemmy.world avatar

If the shown dates are the dates of completion, the span would not be May 12th to May 14th but May 3th to May 12th.

inFAMOUS: First Light has 4 hours for the main story. Which fits this idea. But I don’t use the website.
