Thus proving that Mortal Kombat is an easy game made for babies.

What game is this one from? The screenshot looks familiar but I can’t quite tell.

Is this like a really bad troll attempt?

impolitecarry,

I’ll try and believe in the guy to not be a troll.

It could just be bad UX from a Lemmy app. In voyager, for example, it isn’t always clear while browsing a feed, that an image post also has text in its body. But the app lets you reply from the feed view. So, you see a screenshot in your feed, tap the image instead of the post, so you just see a bigger screenshot, and there’s no hint in this view, that there might be text in the body. So, you just type up a reply from there.

Still grinding World of Warcraft: Legion Remix. Less raids this week, I’m only clearing each one twice every day, instead of three times, but did a couple more Mythic+ dungeons to knock out achievements.

The next phase will start in a few days, along with new quests, but more importantly another raid to farm every day.

Fromsoft and Larian are great at this.

BioWare 20 years ago was guaranteed. We might never get another BioWare game I would purchase.

FishFace,

“Zanzibart, forgive me”.

Nah, Fromsoft has great vibes. But the worldbuilding and story is all deliberately obscured because of Miyazaki’s love of sci-fi he couldn’t properly read. That makes it a trove for obsessives but it can’t really be called good.

rafoix,

It’s definitely good and it is done in a way that can only be done in video games. Too many video games depend on passive exposition instead of finding actual lore in the world.

So your reasoning for saying it isnt good is because you actually have to work to see it instead of it being spoonfed to you? Is that right?

dukemirage,

I hope you don’t mean Baldur‘s Gate when you say Larian and BioWare.

Too bad they never made a sequel to Origins. ;)

I got into Poets of the Fall in a big way after Late Goodbye. Their work is fantastic and they’re brilliant live.

I’m glad Remedy have stuck with them over the years, the Herald of Darkness song from Alan Wake II was a banger.

343 hired people that hate Halo when they were developing Halo 4. I believe it was Frank O’Connor that said this himself in a video interview around that time. 343 literally could not wait to make Halo into something it was not. They tried for three games and each failed spectacularly. They failed so badly that their studio reputation had become so bad they needed to rebrand as “Halo Studios” to trick consumers into buying their next game.

Now that 343 has destroyed Halo’s future, theyre going to destroy its past. As George Orwell said “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” By remaking Combat Evolved and changing that game, they can distort the playerbase into thinking it was always supposed to be that way.

343 is literally attempting to come in and add new additions to the Mona Lisa painting. Or chiseling new stuff onto the David sculpture. Literal vandalism. The original was already perfect, and only needed a visual upgrade. CE Anniversary did that so badly they need to do it again, but seem convinved it is impossible to make a new Halo game without sprint or other features that mean level geometry and bullet speeds need fundamental redesigns.

In case you couldn’t tell, I have a lot of contempt for 343. They could not have mishandled such a monumental franchise any worse. They ruined one of my favorite franchises, and it was literally so easy for them not to.

UnrepentantAlgebra,

What did they change in the CE remake? I don’t remember anything other than graphical changes.

RightHandOfIkaros,

In CE Anniversary, they reused a lot of Halo Reach assets and generally destroyed the art style of the original game.

In what they have shown of Campaign Evolved (actually comically stupid name), they have added Sprint (which hilariously their own gameplay showcases that sprint causes the player to miss a music cue that Martin O’Donnell specifically placed), removed Health Packs in favor of recharging health, removed the tree that prevented the Warthog from being used to fight the two hunters completely trivializing the fight, and they reused a lot of assets from Halo Infinite as well, which I really hope are placeholders but I fear they are not. Also the forerunner tech is too clean and shiny.

From just 13 minutes of gameplay, I already see a lot of problems.

UnrepentantAlgebra,

Oh I didn’t even know they were remaking CE again. Yeah that doesn’t bode well.

Alan Wake. And on a grander scope almost all of Remedy’s stuff. They put everything together where it feels like there’s more out there. There’s no seam in the metaphorical stitching. It feels like even when you reach the end of something there is more.

From less of a deep standpoint? The 3DS fire emblem games. They do some really cool stuff that connects them together.

If you already have a BT controller (like any modern console’s controllers) you could just get a thing that lets you attach the phone to that controller. That’s what I did. They can be purchased for cheap, or printed yourself if you have a 3D printer.

Drusas,

Sounds hard to fit in a pocket....

Cargo pants usually have big enough pockets 🤷‍♂️

Drusas,

Those have been a little out of fashion since something like circa 2005.

Utility never goes outta fashion. 😤

Drusas,

Oh, I'm with you. I just recognize that I can be very unfashionable. But pockets!

Sworn, way too much Ball X Pit, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica.

Cyberpunk 2077 and Dead Cells

These games always seem like random button mashing, ftw to me. Unfair advantage to be 2 player :P

Deus Ex, anyone?

chonglibloodsport,

This one is it for me. The game really does so much with so little. The reality of the game is that it is a roughly linear sequence of closed levels (with some hub levels thrown in) that feels like a cohesive, connected world. It’s absolutely incredible!

halendos, do games w What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?

Disco Elysium, such interesting and complex world building beneath the drunken detective murder mystery. Shame ZA/UM ruined everything with the devs and we probably won’t get anything else out of it.

dukemirage,

I could have listened to the rich lady‘s reality rundown for hours.
