Baldur’s Gate 3 and Balatro. Also Baldur’s Gate 3, and another playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3 lol

Aermis,

I didn’t finish the first act of baldurs gate 3 due to life removing me for a couple months and I can’t get myself to come back to that save. Besides not really liking the elf bard I made. Is it worth coming and trying another class? I wanted barbarian but I want that fire demon chick on my team because she’s awesome but she’s also a barbarian and I heard class stacking your party is a bad idea…

setenforce,

Hell yeah! Each class plays pretty differently, and you can respec any of your companions to different classes by taking to Withers 😁 I’d definitely give it another try, it’s a great time sink

and I can’t get myself to come back to that save

Honestly this happens to me in every grand RPG. If I go more than a month without playing, I’m starting over. Too difficult to pick up where I left off what with understanding my character, my skills, the quests I was doing, etc.

I’ve done it multiple times with Elder Scrolls games, with Mount & Blade, and most recently with Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Aermis,

Lmao skyrim. I put in maybe 1000 hours into the game over half a dozen saves, countless hours modding and a couple years before I ever beat the main quest.

Such bizzare moment when someone acknowledged megaten series and its fanbase on this kind of forum.

Fallout 1(!) and 2 is still enjoyable due to its turn based and variety of char build. Although may be frustating if you do not understand how the game played.

Meanwhile on Saints Row series, the best are on 1 & 2 (back when they have more grounded story though they have whacky side content).

You get automatic patches, DLC support long after release, etc. though.

Like the old model wasn’t perfect either.

Just don’t buy AAA games that insist on their own launchers, DRM and anti-cheat, etc.

Rentlar,

Having fun? When you gave us $80, that gave you access to the shit version of our game which makes you nothing but a lowly boatswain. If you actually wanted the “Full Game” you need to cough up the whole $120, bucko. Also we have a Battle Pass, that lets you speed through it like a Pirate Boss through if you go Premium.

Long Live Piracy!

nivenkos,

I said don’t buy AAA games, so of course don’t buy AAAA games ;)

BranBucket,

I don’t, I stopped buying AAA games a long time ago. I stopped buying a lot of games in general, because this kind of greed and enshittification has sucked a lot of joy out of something that I used to enjoy. But that isn’t a fix for the problem.

A relative handful of boycots won’t do much in the face of manufactured demand and market dominance.

Just stop buying games is essentially the “don’t like it, leave it” argument. And if you simply leave quietly, little changes. This is a discussion that should be had, and not just about games. This business model is bad for consumers, it’s pervasive across many industries, and far too many people just swallow the bullshit most corps spew about it’s supposed advantages.

These issues need to be pointed out, this needs to be a subject of public discourse. It should remain in the public eye until consumer rights are respected. It’s not about just not buying games, we should be pushing for better options.

ikka,

Game consumers have little say now that it has gone mainstream. “Normies” are content buying the latest, hottest games and dropping them for the next latest, hottest games in an endless loop. It’s disappointing to witness and I’m not even a gamer.

nivenkos,

Yeah, I just buy games that I support though - like Shadow Empire, Stellaris and Kerbal Space Program.

Games generally shipped in a completed state because you couldn’t release some broken, unfinished garbage and just patch it later. DLC used to be expansions for half the price of the original and included a lot more than just gun skins and keychains.

Leeker,

Someone has clearly forgotten the Video game crash of 1983. Where games weren’t shipped in finished states and they just didn’t fix it. At least now they can attempt to patch and fix the games.

We can’t find/buy gta 1/2 legally anymore…

Tropper,

GTA 1 & 2 went free to download about ten years ago. Just search for Rockstar Classics.

@topinambour_rex@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks. I found them.

recapitated,

I literally just bought GTA 1 on eBay when I was on a rampage to buy things I only had a demo of growing up.

nice this just triggered the Warcraft 2 music in my head

Makeitstop,

Warcraft 2 is the only one I’ve played.

I wanted to play 3, but first my computer was too old, then it was too new, then blizzard destroyed it.

PraiseTheSoup,

I grew up with a shareware version of Warcraft 1. I bought Warcraft 2 from a garage sale, turned out to be a burned cd with a home printed label but it worked and I played the crap out of it. Warcraft 3 though…is on another level entirely. Hands down the best game of my life. I played Warcraft 3 with some consistency for like 14 years straight. What blizzard did to it with “reforged” is a fucking disgrace and completely unforgivable.

eethi,

Also, boats! I was very disappointed when Warcraft 3 removed the boat warfare. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Unpopular opinion: the psp port of Persona 1 has my favorite song from Shoji Meguro, he did a fantastic job.

Also I’m pretty sure Far Cry 2 has a very vocal fanbase, it’s very much loved.

Lone prayer is probably the best song in the entire series tbh. At the very least it’s the most underrated.

I loved ff1. But I can no longer find an instance of it that plays like the original, the phone remakes don’t feel right.

Emulate it.

BirdEnjoyer, (edited )

With Final Fantasy Restored. Its definitely worth revisiting old favorites with As Intended/QoL updates.

But I can see why they are hesitant to replay the original as is, because it can be a bit rough.
Yet so charming. And its hard to keep one without losing the other in the rereleases

mephiska,

A cheap retro-handheld can scratch that itch pretty easily. Miyoo Mini Plus, RG35XX H or plus, even a RG300X can run FF1 great.

get something with hall effect sensors.

mnemonicmonkeys,

I like my Gulikit Kong Pro controller. It has an xbox-style layout when you swap around the face buttons and has hall effect sensors

Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth

I’m 25 hours in and barely touched the main story. Once they let me roam around I did nothing but side content. Just yesterday I got access to the “Pokemon” League and I see myself not touching any story content for another 5 hours. It’s great.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Loved the game. I just did the main story and side stories as it’s the plot and characters I play Like A Dragon games for; I wasn’t interested enough in the Sujimon or Dondoko Island stuff to get into it. And no way am I paying extra to do New Game Plus!

@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

It’s why I stopped buying physical games, I’ll just pirate everything if they take away my digital library.

dangblingus,

You stopped buying physical copies of games because they stopped putting manuals in the box? How is that better?

@askat@programming.dev avatar

I always marry Ysolda. As for kids I adopt Lucia (a girl from Whiterun) and Sofie (she is selling flowers in Windhelm)

kronarbob,

I always adopted these two before modding the game. Now, they have 4 other brothers and sisters, sleeping in a big room in Whiterun. They play endlessly under the watch of my wife (90% of the time, Ysolda), my housecarl and the dog from the dawnguard.

I guess skyrim is truly about family.

@askat@programming.dev avatar

I accidentally read “housecarl” as “housecat” and was confused like “wait, are there cats in Skyrim?”

Finally playing Dave the Diver after getting recommendations from everyone I know since it came out. “Dive for fish and make sushi.” Seemed pleasant enough but I didn’t get why people talked about it in the same tone as like, Stardew Valley.

I get it now.

smort,
@smort@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve played through the whole thing and maxed out my restaurant. I’m still not sure how to describe why it’s so engaging for me.

I think Stardew didn’t hit with me because there were too many mechanics. But Dave is just so light and joyful!

RinseDrizzle,

I should dive back in to that one.
