Firipu, do gaming w Mimimi Games revived a genre, pushed it forward, and then shut down
@Firipu@startrek.website avatar

My favo games from the past few years. I absolutely adored every single one of them. Sad to see them go. This final dlc is on the expensive side imo, but I got them all, just to show support. I do very much look forward to playing them.

Good. The last few years made me lose any interest in them as a punisher.

What could have caused this? The recent price increase?

It’s in the article.

lowleveldata,

I only see “a factor of decision” from Ryan’s side in the article. That’s likely nothing at all other than PR talk.

Ryan cited difficulties in “striking the right balance” between his home in the U.K. and his job in the U.S. as a factor in his decision to retire.

So, yeah. Thats it.

Pxtl, do gaming w It shouldn’t be this hard to play old Armored Core games

If you’re trying to do it legally, you can easily to rip your own ps1 games with a drive bay. Haven’t tried it on PS2 or ps3 games. And ps1 emulation runs amazing on phones and raspberry pis.

So my ps1 emulation collection is pretty legit.

We shall not speak of the other consoles.

theComposer, do gaming w Palia is the perfect game for chill vibes, either alone or co-op

I’m still confused about this game. Is it truly an MMO where hundreds of players will be running around the main towns? How will the game handle all these players romancing the same characters, for instance?

Or is it like other multiplayer survival games where it’s just you and your friends sharing a persistent world?

CraigeryTheKid,

looks like your “home” is instanced and just for you - and then you go out to the “MMO” world.

but even that doesn’t sound like “MMO”, but now every game where you can see someone random online seems to grab that description.

either way, I think it looks worth checking out, since as a man in his 40’s, I am clearly the target audience for happy fun times games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Disney Dreamlight.

Too bad, it was such a good fit.

TheRealCharlesEames, do gaming w Polygon - Was Bioshock Infinite good?

Uhh I really enjoyed it

godzilla_lives,

That’s great! I remember myself enjoying the gameplay a lot, and it ran surprisingly well on my PC at the time. Any thoughts beyond that, anything about the article specifically? The article isn’t over here saying, “This award-winning game was bad!” it’s more so trying to take a closer look at the story and themes of the game as a whole from a 2024 perspective and how our current world can reflect them. Though to be fair ™, it is definitely meant to be a click-bait article that’s part of a greater “Spicey Takes” section.

TheRealCharlesEames,

Was pretty obviously clickbait, so I didn’t read it, and still don’t plan to even after you provided that additional context. I’m afraid that I added all that I could, sorry.

godzilla_lives,

Then why even comment? I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Have a good day!

TheRealCharlesEames,

I had a gut reaction to the headline. Lemmy is small and people get mad if you don’t contribute. And maybe a little to troll you since you reposted because you didn’t like the original threads comments ;)

Have a FANTASTIC day

At this point just assume that anything even slightly not “wholesome” is going to be deleted by the mods here. I wouldn’t be surprised if this comment also got deleted for pointing that out.

Cool idea to revive failed live services as non-bullshit single-pay games. So much work wasted otherwise. Could lead to some fine games :)

There was a device in the 90s that claimed to let you do this, LGR did a video on it (it didn’t work shockingly)

I had that thing. It did “work;” just not how you’d expect and not very well. Kinda like a PowerGlove. Games that didn’t require much movement were playable; but I got it because I figured I should be able to aim way faster in Counter-Strike with my mind than with my hands on a mouse.

TwilightVulpine, do gaming w Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent

This take reminds me of how disappointed I was when I got Pokémon Violet, excited to see what pokémon would be like in open world, and then I realized there was nothing to do in between towns and bosses. Overall, it felt less interesting than older games where you needed to solve puzzles and mazes to progress. It's not even like there is much of an incentive to do things in your own order because every challenge has fixed levels. You could play multiplayer but there was nothing to do in multiplayer but to roam around. Due to the short draw distance and low frame rates it wasn't even like admiring the creatures roaming around felt so impressive.

The real time catching mechanics in Arceus were pretty fun, I liked the stealth elements, but without them SV felt like it was only going through the motions of having an open world, without understanding how to make use of it.

50gp,

arceus (and SV) wouldbe been way better if they learned to design compelling points of interest in their open world and not do amateur work that looks like auto generated landscape

Kbin_space_program,

The best thing to do in pokemon violet is to make the jump over the cliffs when you're level 15 and can face level 30 pokemon on top of the cliffs in the first zone.
