ech, do gaming w Never understood this

Turns out every game sounds bad if you purposefully describe it badly.

agressivelyPassive,

I mean, this is the essence of 95% of GTA missions. Just like 95% of RPG missions are a variation of clear dungeon, kill boss, retrieve item.

Lmaydev,

The key is making the dungeon/boss fun. The quests are just to lead you through the content.

If you don’t like fighting through dungeons and fighting bosses then the game may not be for you.

Like with GTA getting to places needs to be enjoyable.

ech,

And taking out 99% of the rest of the game built around the basic skeleton structure makes it sound bleak and boring.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

“clear dungeons, kill boss, retrieve item” is just “go from a to b, kill x at b, go from b to c”

fidodo,

Platformers are just running and jumping towards the right and repeating.

Alexstarfire,

Old school ones. Anything half modern lets you go left as well.

fidodo,

But the goal is always to the right (counting metroidvanias as their own genre)

Alexstarfire,

Not really. Super Meat Boy is a platformer and definitely isn’t always to the right.

Same thing with i want to be that guy

funkless_eck,

super metroid final boss is left

Honytawk,

Super Mario’s boss is right.

Both sides are equally bad.

    That I’m not sure. I personally haven’t noticed any difference between the emulated one and a “real” BIOS, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one. In theory they should all work the same regardless of their version, but I don’t know that.

    This is why I still kind of appreciate digital downloads in their own way. I can’t think of any format of purchasing a game that has 100.00% chance of working 20 years in the future. Steam, at least, has been able to get those purchases reliably for that long.

    If you eventually buy another you should look at the Knifeless Rebar. You lose the blade, which you carry separately, but gain scissors.

    fujiwood,

    Honestly, that’s an interesting idea. I don’t really like collecting but if I ever had to buy another one that could be an option.

    Curious_Canid,
    @Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca avatar

    I always carry at least one good knife too. I’ve been pleased with the Knifeless Rebar as a companion tool.

    My main multitool these days is a Leatherman Free P4, but I replaced both blades with other third-party tools (from ZapWizard).

    Nogami,

    What is the quality of the 3rd party tools like? I’d be interested in the scalpel holder and the bit holder. I don’t need the Free P4 saw ever so replacing it would be just fine.

    Curious_Canid,
    @Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca avatar

    The tools are 3D printed in metal. The designs are excellent and the tools work quite well. I’ve been using them for at least six months and haven’t had any problems.

    I got the bit holder, the T-Shank saw blade holder, and the scalpel holder. They more than make up for what they replaced, except for the blades. Since I always carry both a plain edge and a serrated blade, it’s all a trade up.

    ZapWizard was also very helpful.

    This was probably what kicked off their current attempts to improve the game (or appear to be improving it; not a game balance expert)

    Just pixels and polygons. Sometimes the game wants you petting them, sometimes it wants you to survive their attacks, and sometimes, it wants you to harvest their meat and fur for survival. I’m currently playing a game where the armor I’m wearing largely came from dogs.

    force,

    i’m gonna throw a guess out there and say Valheim. but i don’t think you mean wolves so probably not…

    I even have a hard time killing the nazi dogs in Wolfenstein. It’s not his fault he’s a nazi dog. He’s just trying to be a good boy, and his owner is a fucking nazi.

    saltesc,

    Just pretend it’s a tranq gun and once the mission’s done, they’re collected by dog behavioural therapists to undo the brainwashing and, in time, be collected by a family that will show them what it is to love and be loved.

    Pelicanen,

    I want to note that the dogs aren’t actually nazis, they don’t have an ideology, they just want to be good boys.

    Never seen a dog in a video game only polygons and pixels that try to look like one. Never a issue.

    Games and real life are not the same. If you can’t disconnect and understand the difference you have a real problem.

    DarkDarkHouse,
    @DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    For sure they are different, but you know that your brain putting the experience together as having qualities of dog and reacting emotionally is normal and by design. Never cried while watching a film? Boy, those things are so fake.

    @iterable@sh.itjust.works avatar

    A dog in a film is a real dog. It is a living breathing animal and should be cared about. If it cgi then again pixels don’t care.

    GTA has always been for teenagers, edgelords, and angstmeisters so they can feel hardcore while they vent out some of their aggression on game characters. You don’t play gta for the innovative gameplay, you play it to jack cars and enact violence on virtual douchebags. It actually shares a similar function to postal 2 now that I think about it.

    Blackmist,

    That may have been the case for GTA3, but everything since has been very heavily story based.

    I kind of played Trevor like that though. The odd bit of random cyclist murder just felt right for him.

    I don’t understand why anyone would want to travel between point A and B and point B and A. Can’t they just make up their mind about where they want to be?

    I just want to live at point D and spend a pleasant amount of time at point E

    You can go to a virtual titty bar and see virtual titties.

    Point A is not the titty bar and point B is the titty bar. That’s why it’s number 1. It’s also why you’re murdering everything in your way and trying to get to B as fast as possible. Because it’s a titty bar.

    So far it’s as addicting as Valheim. Maybe more, since it has more guiding.

    Any interest in playing with another player? I’m looking for a server currently, and would be interested in playing with some fellow Lemmings.

    Or you could just download it from one of the repositories. Unless it’s something really obscure it should be already preserved somewhere on Archive.org, Myrient or even Vimms Lair

    While everything you said is valid (and I may or may not have done that), I legitimately enjoy the ripping process.

    teawrecks,

    I don’t know what the rules of this community are regarding piracy or DRM, but I think backing your content up is generally protected, while sharing the content or encouraging people to copy something illegally is possibly not allowed.
