RogueBanana,

And then there are games that seamlessly matches your pace and animation with the NPC once you get close to them. cooms

bryndos,

Aah, i think it was tie-fighter, where you could lock on and press a key to match speeds with an enemy - (albeit instantaneous only).
Maybe it was there in x-wing, but i feel like it was one of the minor qol improvements in tie-fighter that made it better.

Rozz,

I think about that surprisingly often. Also how nice would that be in real life too, not just games.

bryndos,

When they have motorway roadworks here there they often have "average speed limit zones". set like 40-60mph. speed camera enforced at start and end.

Everyone just pootles along steadily at very close to 39 or 49mph no overtaking.
It's great.

Doc_Crankenstein,

We have that option for cars to match speed with each other in the same travel lane … It’s called a “train”. We should build more of them.

They ported it over to X-Wing in later versions. Also, play XWVM, if you haven’t already.

ghostlychonk,

I cannot fathom how Bethesda still can’t get this right. It can’t be difficult to just set NPC speed to match player speed.

IronBird,

it just works

Games that wont let you quit to desktop in game.

SpaceXplorer_8042,
@SpaceXplorer_8042@lemmy.zip avatar

Alaternatively, PUBG lets you quit to desktop from the in-game pause menu, and I’ve hit it accidentally so many times.

Doc_Crankenstein,

flashbacks to The Forest pause menu having the exit game button in the same place as the back button

So many times I backed out of settings by double clicking and accidentally closed the entire game and thus the multiplayer lobby I was hosting

Ashtear,

I’ve noticed this is especially bad in Japanese games for whatever reason.

RightHandOfIkaros,

PC Gaming market in Japan is treated like Second Class Gaming Citizens, sadly

bungle_in_the_jungle,

May I introduce you to my good old friend: alt+F4 😬

bryndos,

in old dos games "boss key" was usually ctrl+b or ESC

I never understood the point until I grew up a bit.

artyom,

Honestly this is my favorite feature of the Steam Deck and SteamOS.

Only a couple more weeks until Prime 4!

BazaarMonk,
@BazaarMonk@lemmy.world avatar

Dude! I know. I’m so excited. I absolutely love the franchise. Metroid Dread was also an absolute banger.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I had so much fun with dread earlier this year. It motivated me to buy and mod an original GBA so I could finally beat the copy of Fusion I’ve had since I was a kid. That really got the ball rolling on me finishing as many Metroids as I can ahead of Prime 4. I think I’ve finished 4-5 now. Still haven’t done Super Metroid, which everyone tells me is the best, but I’m a snob and I want to get a Super Nintendo controller to play it with.

BazaarMonk,
@BazaarMonk@lemmy.world avatar

Nice! Yeah, I’ve played all the Metroids except for Other M. You will not be disappointed with Super Metroid.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Not surprised you skipped other M. I haven’t heard a single good thing about that one

BazaarMonk,
@BazaarMonk@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah same here.

I’ll pop in and say the mechanics of pointing the wiimote at the screen from using it as a horizontal controller in order to go into a first person mode was kina fun. It was also the (first?) Metroid game to use the parrying system that was also used in Dread, which is super satisfying. It also had a boss fight that was a near direct reference to one of the Alien movies, which was original inspiration for Metroid. But the story sucked, and I think we have all rightfully retconned it, as Samus is an awesome bounty hunter, not a lame little baby.

SabinStargem,

You might want to try AM2R if you haven’t already. It is basically Metroid 2, but fully remade to be like Zero Mission mixed with Prime scanner lore.

BazaarMonk,
@BazaarMonk@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve heard of that, but never played it. I did play the remake Samus Returns and really enjoyed the simplistic story of just hunting down Metroids.

@msokiovt@lemmy.today avatar

The detail in such a small form factor boggles my mind. Well done!

BazaarMonk,
@BazaarMonk@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you! I’m happy to hear that. I love working on the little details.

frezik, do games w Samus Aran drawing I made

I would love a tattoo of this.

BazaarMonk,
@BazaarMonk@lemmy.world avatar

That’d be sick! I’m always down to create custom designs if you’re ever interested.

frezik,

Shoot me a DM.

BazaarMonk,
@BazaarMonk@lemmy.world avatar

DM sent! I look forward to hearing from you.

@ooli3 With respect to the linked article, I'm not liking the term "Metroidbrania" either.

Everything that’s got a finishable campaign here I’ve completed, with the exception of MCC where I only played Halo CE and ODST to completion.

I vote you play Control next! Challenge mode: Dyson Sphere Project

SippyCup,

I have multiple saves with Dyson Spheres around black holes.

They were played consecutively.

I watched, while playing that game, every single episode of classic Trek, and SNW. I believe a few movies are sprinkled in there too.I only stopped playing to play Clair Obscur.

The math don’t add up. 5.5h/wk x 52 = 286 h of gaming, but all those games together are an average of 425h to complete the main story. You are playing alot more than you think!

I’m jealous you had that much time, i love rpgs as well ;) have fun.

spaciouscoder78,
@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

I tend to finish games a lot quicker than their average howlongtobeat times

derfunkatron,
@derfunkatron@lemmy.world avatar

We need the year they started playing each game to calculate it correctly anyway since this assumes 2025 is both the year started and the year completed.

If I finally finished Skyrim this year, it would represent a decade of half-assed gaming on my part. 🤣

verdi, do games w One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4

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

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

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.

AngryCommieKender, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

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.

N0ll, do games w One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4

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

spaciouscoder78,
@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

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.

B0NK3RS, do games w One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4
@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

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

spaciouscoder78,
@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

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
