eyes, do games w Free Radical Design shut down

A shame, especially to be shut down a second time, the time splitters games defined my childhood.

Dredge is so good. Played on the steamdeck and would highly recommend.

That time has long passed

Looks like it is just for Dave the Diver. I wish they would have added it for Dredge too somehow but I was pretty happy with their recent DLC

When they add support it would be cool to see if they add the ability to turn on / off strumming as that was a big part older rock band / guitar hero fans have gotten so used to strumming as someone new might not want to do strumming.

Also would be cool to see Fortnite Festival controllers being sold in stores and I'm sure the game will keep to grow and develop over time.

Shadow, do games w Doom at 30: how a LAN session changed my life
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

Man I miss the early days of lan parties. Struggling to figure out how to plug my friends computer into mine via BNC cables (didn’t know we needed terminators) when we got our first ever network cards. Then later the big lan games of blood, duke 3d, quake, even starcraft.

Good times.

Nibodhika,

Your comment unlocked repressed memories of having to rewire ethernet cables for direct connection between PCs. And to make my father take me and my desktop+CRT monitor to my friend’s house for a weekend of HL+mods, AoE, and whatever new game one of us had found that month…

Fun times, online matches are great, but the feeling of a Lan party is something that I think it’s mostly lost.

AoE on lan was the shit. So much fun

allroy,

I don’t know why I assumed these was an experience isolated to me… ha!

Wojwo,

Same. It was a good read though. Getting old sucks for everyone, but I can’t help but feel like we grew up in a particularly magical time where you can remember dial phones all the way through smart phones. It kind of set the wow factor baseline a little high. I don’t know if other people in history have had a similar experience, but I kinda doubt it.

Maybe, or maybe in another 30 years people will just be commenting how nice it was to be alive during the birth of the metaverse and giant corporations.

Probably not though.

protist,

Someone born in 1875 could have gone from gas lamps and horses to light bulbs, refrigerators, and cars by the time they were 50. May be comparable?

d3Xt3r,

Hmm, somehow I never really used 10BASE2/5 stuff.

My first memories of “LAN” parties was playing Doom, OMF2097 and other DOS IPX games over a null-modem cable (which I made myself by hacking up a regular serial cable - was so proud of myself when I got it to work lol). Of course, it was only limited to two PCs, but still fun nonetheless. After the DOS era, my first “proper” LAN party was over 10BASE-T (Cat3) during the Win 9x era, and then we quickly moved into the Cat5/100Mbps world. So somehow I completely skipped over coax LANs, even though I started with MSDOS, RS232 and BBS door games. Or maybe I used them unknowingly at school or something. But it feels really strange to hear others reminisce “fondly” about T-connectors and terminators, when even though I’m from the same era, I never even saw them. Or maybe I’m from an alternate timelime where they didn’t exist at all…

So little we know, but just based on her previous stuff I’m tentatively excited. Hope she gets to finish this and doesn’t have it ripped out beneath her.

hazle, do games w Rockstar Games' vice president of writing leaves after 16 years

When you walk into the drunk guys home for his money and kill him, but his son goes “pa, pa, pa…” I know it’s a video game, but I wasn’t expecting that. It was one of those moments where i can never forget. I felt like I actually hurt a person in my mind and kept thinking about it, still do. Absolutely the best game that brings you into the fold as a player dls 23 mod apk unlimited coins and diamonds download

GutsBerserk, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 out now on Xbox

10/10 game. Xbox players can enjoy and well polished goty from the day 1.

Franzia,

Don’t say that! The devs have been fastidiously fixing bugs. Thousands. And there have been a few Quality of Life changes / additions.

@Stez827@sh.itjust.works avatar

Did they say they weren’t?

Franzia,

Yes the comment literally says “polished from day 1” 🤔 and mine explains that the game has been being polished regularly for months.

Which is great, it’s cool to see a GOTY level game come out and its even better to know what a GOTY game looks like - not perfect on launch, but immediately receiving the necessary fixes.

Skyhighatrist,

I’m pretty sure they meant day 1 on x-box. X-Box players get to play the polished version of the game from the moment they get it. They get the version that already has all of those patches on day one.

Franzia,

OH. Thanks! Jeez my reading comprehension really did screw up on that.

Daxtron2, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 out now on Xbox

I’ve already got the PC version, how good is controller support? I’d like to play on the big screen.

danthehutt,

You can test controller support on your PC and see how you like it. It’s pretty good in my opinion!

lambchop,

I’ve played through with a switch controller. It’s good, only downside is when you need something specific in your inventory, typing to search isn’t there, which comes in handy when you need to insert specific quest items. But like I said I played it through, very usable.

Katana314, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 out now on Xbox

It’s definitely a black mark on Xbox that they couldn’t get splitscreen on Series S; but it does seem like that specific feature needs a lot in the way of CPU power. Hopefully that doesn’t spell trouble for future releases like GTAVI.

It’s such a good game; Xbox players, enjoy!

ICastFist, do games w Stardew Valley creator confirms he's made "a ton of progress" on update 1.6
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Gonna throw a bit of advertising about Dinkum, for anyone that’d like to see a mix of Stardew (farming, tending to animals, socializing with people) with Animal Crossing (you set up where shops and houses will be, you can terraform the whole place, lots of shinies around the land to be dug up)

Pregnenolone,

I couldn’t get into Dinkum. The early game is really poorly paced and a bit janky. Ended up deleting it after an hour. Could be one I come back to once it’s optimised a bit more but I wouldn’t really compare it positively with Stardew at the moment

Ashyr, do games w Paradox's The Lamplighters League adds new playable character and Events system in latest free update

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Wondering the same thing. From the aesthetics I was originally really excited about it, then it came out to tepid reviews and I was busy player other games at the time anyways so I completely forgot about it.

darth_helmet,

It is a fun mashup of stealth and tactics, but there’s so much to play right now that I’ve only put in a couple hours. This just came out the wrong year.

oxideseven,

I played it for a bit. Maybe did 4 or 5 missions. It was good I guess but also weirdly bland? Like it has all this character and style but for whatever reason it just didn’t really hook me.

I think I had some very minor issues with the game rules being sort of inconsistent. Like I’d setup something that should keep me stealth but if be immediately found out. Or something that would show certain people being hit or not hit wouldn’t be accurate. It was disheartening.

All that said, I think others might really like it. I think it’s on gamepass, so try it out if you have time!
