Those have manuals you can read on the ride home?

Buddahriffic,

These days I’m driving on the way home.

RagingRobot,

Actually there is a company called limited run games I think that goes all out and prints physical copies of some indie games with instructions and bonus stuff. It’s pretty awesome but takes a while to get it.

Ok that is pretty awesome

Could do without online play.

@NielsBohron@lemmy.world avatar

I do go without. The only time I ever play online is playing PvE games with my good IRL friends that live in different countries and states now, and that’s maybe twice a month.

No randoms, no tantrums when we make noob mistakes, no toxicity. When my friends aren’t around, I play single player games or play with bots instead of people. I highly recommend it.

Someone else linked one related modding but there are several other Minecraft communities that are more niche. There’s one specifically for seeds for example.

GeneralEmergency, do gaming w Goals when developing a game

Just hype the game to shit and release it unfinished. there’s a reason the most popular mods are all bug fixes.

stoicmaverick,

They can’t afford to; it’s not a AAA title that can turn a profit for the shareholders with it’s title alone.

VerbFlow, do gaming w We've had a few killer games recently
@VerbFlow@lemmy.world avatar

There’s also tons of REALLY good games that are made by small developers and cost about as much as an energy drink.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

But gamers wanna complain rather than open their goddamn eyes.

_sideffect,

Do you have any names you can point out? I’m always looking for some great indie dev games!

checks local price of energy drinks.

Monster energy can ~1.20 USD

Some local, questionable brand, less than 2 dollars for 2 liters

I usually only find games in this price range when browsing GOG’s catalogue of old games

Sylvartas, do gaming w Many are worth checking out

Well “far cry fans” are wrong. Far cry 2 is probably the last mildly risky game Ubisoft ever produced and was way ahead of its time in a lot of aspects.

szczuroarturo,

Yeach as far as climate goes it was great. The only unfortunate choice were the endlesly respawning guardpost (?) not sure about the name. But it was a massively ubfortunate point. It really made the game go from very good to throwing your controler in rage very fast.

Sylvartas,

True, the hardest difficulties were actually very fun, but the respawning checkpoints kinda ruined them

yesman,

Respectfully disagree. It’s the captured roadblocks that turn the late game of other far cry games boring. FC2 was constantly dangerous. Arriving at a mission start point was an adventure. You had the option to Leroy Jenkins into the roadblocks, beat a wide path around them, take the bus, or 30 other things in between.

That’s why the later games make unlocked bases into fast travel points, because once defeated, there is no point in revisiting anything.

Sylvartas,

You know what, when I played it I really hated these respawning roadblocks because I thought they were immersion breaking and “annoying”, but thinking about it, most of my better memories about random gunfights were around these roadblocks, so I agree with you, especially the late game thing.

GoodEye8,

Also far cry 1 was a completely different game and a decent shooter (for 2004). Definitely worth playing for the history.

Muhr, do gaming w I miss manuals...

Still better than just a code 😅

weird take ngl

  1. Buy cheap microsd
  2. Copy game from pc to chip

???

Krauerking,

Tell me what console or system or even game manufacturer that lets you buy their game, download it to a portable micro SD and then lets you play it from there.

Not even steam lets you do that and you don’t even have a direct way of knowing what’s on the micro SD card without making a label for it which good luck.

Oszilloraptor,

Kerbal Space Programm - and I guess most non-DRM-games on Steam, as long as they keep all their stuff in the game dir.

Krauerking,

No steam is definitely not the bastion to use as they really aren’t gonna work. They like games tied to accounts.

You could say GOG games but it really still defeats the point of it not being even close to similar to a physical game you could resell and having a nicely labeled piece of physical media.

I know you aren’t the person originally with the really bad argument btw, but yeah the list is super small this would work for.

Syrc,

There’s quite a lot, actually. Definitely not the norm, but not extremely rare either.

hswolf,
@hswolf@lemmy.world avatar

First, you can totally make a steam library on a portable device like a microsd or an external drive (I do and I play on different places with the same drive), and play it on any device running steam.

And don’t start the “oh but you need steam installed”, since with the proprietary sd, you gotta have the propriety device as well.

Second, sure I can just lavel it, a 3 seconds job. Don’t you need the proprietary sd to come labeled as well? Also, I don’t need to label anything, I have dozens of games there and select which one I want to play.

Your defense of OP’s comment is also weird but that’s okay, we all are always learning.

Each format of game has its own merits ans they are only better than another on an objective comparison, as for subjective, just use whatever you want.

postmateDumbass,

as for subjective, just use whatever you want.

That’s like, your opinion, man.

dangblingus,

Sounds like a shitty way to play games ngl

Batbro, do games w What game fits this?

How has no one said WoW, so much time lost

Steamymoomilk,

Is the time really lost if you got a ballin new mount and ledendary weapons and have perfected your spe- yeah i should go touch grass :/

dubyakay,

The day I quit that shit, such a huge burden lifted off my shoulders. I felt the same with Ragnarok Online before that and a stupid gacha a couple years after WoW. But nothing was as strong as the WoW quitting experience. No more chasing that rare spawn. No more soloing the old raids weekly on multiple characters in an attempt to get that 1% drop mount or a missing transmog piece. No more dailies. No more arena/bg capping. No more stupid farm. No more relisting AH items every hour to undercut competition during sleep hours. No more gearing Alts so they can join main raids in case one is needed.

The only thing I miss is the gruesome rigor in our attempts to get realm first on an insignificant, casual pvp server, just to stay in top1000. 5/7 raid nights. 6PM to drop dead. But lots of booze and banter on TS. Fun times.

It’s not a game, it’s a lifestyle.

BassaForte, do gaming w Never understood this
@BassaForte@lemmy.world avatar

L take. GTA5 is a solid game. Never cared for online tho

PaulieDied, do gaming w Never understood this

At least Vice City had fun missions like dropping bombs in trashcans with the world’s most fickle RC helicopters

pfannkuchen_gesicht,

“fun”… yeah, not exactly a word I’d use to describe that mission.

otp,

Not sure if they fixed it in the PC port, but I enjoyed it when I played it last. I think I failed the mission only once, if at all?

I imagine they reduced the number of enemies or their aggro range, or raised the timer by a ton

HappycamperNZ,

I suckered at that mission.

Yet went great flying helicopters later.

Would try again

OfficerBribe,

That’s San Andreas. I loved all their missions and even though they also could be reduced to only, driving, flying and shooting they all felt distinct and memorable.

Invading Madd Dogg’s mansion and stealing lyric book and delivering it back OG Loc who had a party in your hood was fun. Stealing jetpack for a hippy, burying alive someone in construction site while they are in portable toilet, doing heists with Catalina, all that was fun.

I can’t seem to recall a single GTA 4 or 5 mission / moment truly memorable besides the line “Causin, let’s go bowling”. Maybe it’s all related to when I played SA and probably my memory was better then.

PaulieDied,

Your memory may indeed be a bit flaky, because that mission (demolition man) is quite definitely from Vice City :)

I agree with the sentiment of your post though

OfficerBribe,

Thought you meant New Model Army mission which also feature RC heli, bombs and barrels :)

I remember not knowing how to activate magnet and thinking that mission is impossible.

xyguy, do games w Earth will be destroyed in 12 minutes...

Wow! Spoilers much?! I can’t believe they spoiled the “Beer Ending” in the trailer…

I will say though that even though I know it will just be a text adventure, I kid of want to play it now.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly, if you like text adventures, despite the difficulty, it’s one of the most entertaining ever. Douglas Adams himself wrote most of the text, so even if you don’t get very far, it’s all funny.

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Starship Titanic is similarly incredibly under-rated, as is the companion novel written by Monty Python’s Terry Jones.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t read the novel, but I have played the game. When I played it, it was new, and it was really slow to load levels, which made it kind of a pain to play, but I did restore a good 3/4 of the ship robot thingy’s face.

And my god the parrot was annoying.

ParsnipWitch, do gaming w God I feel so bad for y'all

I used a voice modulator before I found my clan.

Potatos_are_not_friends, do games w I got to play Terra Nil, and here is my two cents on it

Absolutely agree.

I was actually disappointed at Terra Nil, as I was expecting to build a natural world empire.

I wish they did a better job branding it to be a puzzler.

Lanusensei87, do games w "The Day Before" makers Fntastic are shutting down.
@Lanusensei87@lemmy.world avatar

What a disaster.

ZephyrXero, do games w GameStop’s definition of “New”

I worked at Electronics Boutique over 20 years ago, and we’d do the same thing. If someone brought a game back and got a refund because they didn’t like it, or they got it for the wrong platform we’d just re-shrink wrap it and put it back out as new. But the lazy person who did yours didn’t even break out the heat gun smh

Also, I’m not sure if GameStop even allows this, but back in the day employees were allowed to borrow almost any game in the store to try it out, so we could know about it when selling. And we’d re-shrink those too

Triple_B,

Depends on the store, some let employees rent games.

And there’s no shrink gun at Gamestop, just that stupid plastic bag.
