lay, do games w A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles

Similar to how the market works here in Iraq. They package refurbished consoles with new boxes and often 3rd party controllers. A ps1 with two controllers and a usb flash drive full of random roms goes for around 50,000 IQD which is about 35$.

QuantumSparkles,

They don’t have NES or SNES like that do they?

lay,

They don’t, I’ve only seen Sony consoles repackaged, basically because they are well known to most consumers. When it comes to Nintendo, they sell cheap knockoffs that come with 1000 games or something pre-installed.

What I don’t understand is why games look prettier but things like NPC AI (which is really path-finding and decision trees, not actual AI), interactivity of the game world, destructability of game objects - all those things are objectively worse than they have been in a game of 10-15 years ago (with some exceptions like RDR2).

How can a game like Starfield still have all the Bethesda jank but now the NPCs lack any kind of daily routine?

Most enemies in modern shooters barely know how to flank, compare that to something like F.E.A.R. which came out in 2006!

    I keep hearing that Reach wasn’t very popular on launch and I just don’t get how. It’s a perfect Halo game. To be honest. If Halo had to end. I think Reach would have been the perfect way to do it.

    @CMLVI@lemmy.world avatar

    I think a lot of it is that it’s direction was a bit different. Halo was built on basically immortal Master Chief. Reach had Spartan 3s, which weren’t as “Master Chief”-y, and we see every one of em die on screen as part of the story. That is a pretty stark contrast to Chief never dying. Additionally, if IIRC, the multiplayer was meh, and multiplayer was a huuuuge deal at that time. The story was great (even despite what people said about it at the time) but the multiplayer didn’t carry the game, so it was generally a “play the story, go back to Halo 3” kinda game.

    My perspective on it, tho.

    I know it is likely just the nostalgia, but the PS1 startup sounds really were the best.

    knightmare1147,

    I had a ps, but the GameCube jingle was always my favorite

    chonglibloodsport,

    Oh I agree! I loved that startup sound! Compared to the SNES I was used to it sounded sooo next gen!

    Gointhefridge, do games w How to download, install and run Sonic Unleashed PC port (recompiled) on your Steam Deck!

    I love that this is possible. I wonder if something is possible for Project 06. I’ve heard it fixes a lot of the game and makes it playable. Dunno if they can help with the story though.

    Now this has been done, the team have made the tools available to learn from. I’ve seen a lot of users in forums talking about how they’re planning to tackle other games from the same gen of gaming, so…I’d say given some time we’ll have a good chance of a lot of games getting the same treatment!!!

    Is the game updated at all nowadays on PS3?

    Wizard_Pope,
    @Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world avatar

    No. It’s stuck quite a bit back. But at least it is not as bug ridden as bedrock edition.

    v4ld1z,

    Manual updates via jailbroken console are probably not an option either, right?

    Wizard_Pope,
    @Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world avatar

    There is nothing to update to. It is a completely different game in the way it’s built from java and bedrock. And after the last update it stopp3d being supported so even if you could update via console as I said you have nowhere to go. Kinda like if you tried updating civ 5 with civ 6 stuff. They are differnet games even though they play the same in concept.

    v4ld1z,

    Got it. Thanks :)

    A bit of a throwback. Reminds me of playing split screen Minecraft on the 360 with friends all night long.

    MyNameIsAtticus,
    @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

    360 was originally how i played growing up until my Launch Model 360 Red Ringed. Me and my Sister would stay up for hours building the stupidest shit. Before we knew it, time had gone by and it was 3 in the morning

    DannyBoy,

    Time really does fly. Enjoy the old Minecraft. There’s a certain charm of the older versions. It’s simplistic, not overwhelming with the amount of new blocks and monsters and knowledge needed.

    ahal, do games w I've been replaying Into The Breach lately and stumbled on what I think is an insane power squad.

    Love this game! This is the same studio that did FTL. Two of my all time favourite roguelites.

    fartsparkles,

    Subset Games rock. Really looking forward to whatever they put out next. It’s been rather quiet from them but they said in an AMA they have several prototypes kicking around. Fingers crossed.

    TheUnicornOfPerfidy,

    I hope they’re looking at Tactical Breach Wizard as inspiration now too. It’s obviously inspired by Into the Breach and it’s masterful.

    I just recently got back into minecraft. Man it’s addicting. Like I’ll just chop down one more tree before bed annnddd now it’s two hours later.

    @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s very easy to lose track of time with it. While we were playing splitscreen it felt like it had only been a few hours, but turned out to have been 6

    I really appreciate that! Thank you :)

    I love this kind of thing, so as long as others will put up with it, I’ll share them :)
