Flickerby, do games w Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic

One of my favorite trophies to get was the no kill run on the first dishonored. A lot of fun finding all the different ways to be a ghost. Though I wish they had more stealth magic, most of the stuff was combat based if I remember correctly

So good, story isn’t bad and didn’t really follow. The gameplay was unique and fun.

Hear me out:

  • Split Fiction and everything from Hazelight is fantastic.

…That’s about it.

I guess churning stuff out like F1 or Sims DLC every year isn’t particularly offensive, and they didn’t mess up ME LE too bad. And they have a history of some neat originals.

What I’m saying is EA isn’t really the mega villain anymore. And maybe the longer-term horizon allowed by going private will help?

squaresinger, do games w Why, as a responsible adult, SimCity 2000 hits differently

Coming back to SimCity 2000 today, I find it much harder to callously play with the lives of my virtual citizens. The years I’ve spent as a homeowner, parent, and city-dwelling adult make me at least pause before I willingly inflict that kind of pain on my tiny subjects.

I can totally understand that feeling! I played a fair bit of Cities Skylines. To unlock all buildings you have to inflict quite a lot of chaos to your citicens, e.g. garbage needs to pile up like crazy or crime needs to be really high.

It was almost painful to unlock these buildings.

jordanlund, do games w Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

You can’t compare current generations to previous because starting with the PS3/Xbox 360 the generations became artificially extended.

With no no new impending hardware, there’s no impetus to reduce prices and clear stock.

The OG Xbox 360 launched with a 20 GB hard drive (2005). That got a price cut when the 60 GB version was announced (2008) and that coincided with the much more expensive “Elite” with 120 GB. Similarly that had a price cut when the 250 GB version came out in 2009.

We aren’t currently seeing models be replaced like this.

Grilipper54,

Descent 3 using Kali was my first online game experience. What a crazy time that was.

I just started playing this remaster, and only played to Skyrim before. And I really love this title! I feels the same waves than when I was on Skyrim. I think this release is the best occasion for newcommers and younger players

Man I wish I had $11k to just blow right now…

I wonder if it would be cheaper to build my own table. I don’t care about the graphics or sounds as much as playing a good pinball table. Physically, and not via a game even if it’s a good simulation.
