I'm nearing the end of Graveyard Keeper. Pretty fun so far!

Final Fantasy 7 OG with HD textures and Echo-S mod (full voice acting).

It is a much better game than the so-called remake.

Severed_Fate,

Why do you feel the remake is bad

cloudless,
@cloudless@feddit.uk avatar

I don’t think the remake is a bad game, but I enjoy the original better because:

  • I prefer the original ATB combat better than the remake’s action hybrid
  • The original has much better pacing, the remake has a lot of padding
  • The original feels more open for exploration, while the remake feels very linear
  • The remake added some nonsensical story
caseofthematts,

I feel like what they did to FF7 is what they’d do if they ever remade Chrono Trigger, and that’s why I’m pretty against a remake of that one.

I am hoping that the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake will sell well, so Square-Enix will remake Chrono Trigger in the same style.

caseofthematts,

That’s one of the few HD2D that looks good to me. In my opinion, Octopath is way too dark, sepia toned, and saturated. It’s not a very pretty game in my eyes. In Star Ocean and Live A Live, the characters don’t look like they fit in the world; the difference between the 3D environments and the pixel characters is too stark. But I’m quite interested in DQ3.

I should play BG3 and get out of Act1. Buuut it’s starting to be so long since I last played it that I am lost in where I was and were doing. And I honestly don’t like the zone designs with all their open emptyness while at the same time being soooo cramped. What does it take to walk from the druid’s encampment to the goblin temple? Two minutes? Three? Cooooome on. Would have preferred the druid’s having one map, then world map travel to goblin’s and then zoom in on their lair. Condense the adventure while keeping distances plausible. So I’ll keep on looking at my small settlers as I keep building their settlement in Farthest Frontier.

caseofthematts,

I’m not sure if it helps you at all, but there some waypoints you can jump to. In fact, there are waypoints both right near the druids grove and one in the goblin encampment.

In regards to what you’re doing, there are journal entries that keep track of quests step by step so you can see what you’ve learned in each as you’ve progressed.

Big Ambitions dropped EA 0.3 last week. So I am retro fitting all my retail outlets with security while setting up the new stores and HQ employees.

sprl, do piracy w !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com has the most subscribers out of any community according to lemmyverse.net

Although good for the active community, I don’t feel like it’s a great advertisement of lemmy for the wider public

atlasraven31,

Piracy??? I thought this was a Pirates appreciation community!

Likely a combination of the community having more tech savvy individuals + realising Reddit would fuck over r/Piracy eventually, making more of them follow dbzer0 here when they were overthrown.

Plus the downfall of the lemmy.fmhy.ml server, which had a pretty big and active piracy community too.

biddy,

Also r/piracy stayed shut for a while with a direct and easy link to this community. That’s how I found it.

This brought back memories I didn’t know I had. Gosh I miss those days, I wish I had downloaded all the clips I recorded before it died. I’m sad now.

There are some archives of the service here -

wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Xfire

Supposedly most of the videos, and 20% of the screenshots? I’m not sure if there’s a way to easily search the archive contents, rather than download.

There’s quite a few profiles on Web Archive too -

web.archive.org/web/*/http://…/profile/*

Holy shit. Just found my profile that had stuff there like bio, pc specs and games/hours from when I was 14… I’m nearly 32 now. Wild …

JeffCraig, do games w Every game developer company should be like this

I’m really glad a developer that actually cares about BG made this game. I’m not sure how much more I can take of ruined classics.

Meowoem,

I’ve actually been kinda sacred to look at it because bg1 was probably the happiest memory of my childhood, really glad to see people loving it and I’ll probably give it a go

(And yes I’m exaggerating a bit but I used to play with my grandma on her computer, she’d sit and watch and we’d chat about things and she’d take notes and stuff or suggest strategy - it was such a great game in every regard, the story and the combat were fantastic with such beautiful areas to explore… Then when 2 came out and you could load your old save and import the party you finished with as the characters you start with! It was the best thing ever

Of course now I have grown as a man, times have changed and I have changed - I feared that there would be an empty shell under such a cherished memories name but tentatively I have started to allow myself to become excited to play it, sadly my grandmother has passed but what she taught me is you can’t live in the past, she loved new things and new ideas so I’m not wanting it to be exactly the same I’m just hoping it has that same feeling of fascination and depth of its forbearers as I hope I’ve gained from mine… Certainly im very excited to try out the new mechanics and gameplay elements that have gone into it, like having sex with a man that’s transformed into a bear.

    Hah, I had a promotional mix tape album from them - there was some good shit on there actually. Sneaker Pimps, The Crystal Method, etc.

    MDKAOD,

    I have footsoldier dogtags still. 10six was my jam. Still alive via project visitor.

    ChronosWing,

    Unfortunate project visitor is pretty dead last I checked. 10six is impossible without having a very active clan, your bases get decimated the moment you go offline.

    Same on the dogtags. Never got into 10six; I was more of an FPS gamer at the time. Lots of Duke Nukem 3D. Lots of shareware Quake.

    XaeroDegreaz,

    Nice, I didn’t have tags, but I got the shirt. I really only played Quake 2 and Unreal Tournament
