Are you emulating? if so, can you please test if splitscreen works ?

I am emulating! I’ll test multiplayer tonight if I can track down another controller. It might interest you as well to know that I’ve heard the PS3 Emulator can do online multiplayer through its Netplay. I haven’t tested that yet (I want to with a friend though)

warmaster,

Thank you for testing it! Are you using Xenia through a launcher (RetroDeck/Emudeck/Retroarch)? Are you on Windows or Linux? any setup recommendations or should I just put the bios files and rom and it’s ready to go?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m using Emudeck on Bazzite with GNOME. It’s an entirely AMD based build.

I was mostly just able to install and go. There were two issues but they’re pretty minor and easy to fix:

  1. I had to go into the launch script for Xenia provided by Emudeck to change the proton version used though because it wasn’t compatible with the base version used. But that may have just been a me thing.
  2. Xenia has a weird quirk with Xbox Arcade games where you need to reopen and close the emulator too. It’s an intentional feature and I’m not really sure why it does that.

But besides those two things it works flawlessly. I have almost no bugs. I added it to Steam with Steam ROM Manager included with Emudeck and will launch it through that (or I’ll launch Minecraft, and then Xenia because of issue 2). Steam Input works fine and no tearing or graphical issues whatsoever.

I just finished testing it and It worked well. I’d assume you could play the entire game that way but I didn’t test it too long (and the controller for player 1 just sat idle) because it was just me playing.

I’ve been wondering why my fav retro podcasts have been discussing contemporary games.

I’m surprised that it has been about a year since you started doing this. Isn’t it tiring?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Sometimes. I’m also a college student though with a ton of free time so it’s not like I don’t have the free time to play video games. Usually though when I play a game I take a ton of screenshots to just show friends, so I already have them. The tiring part usually comes from busy days like finals or when I’m out of the house all day

What is wrong with it? A quick Google Search leads me to a pretty good game based on the reviews.

MetaStatistical,

Sparse gameplay, tied together with lots and lots of implied worldbuilding in a lore book that contains most of the story. The gameplay was okay when you got to it, but there was far too much written story locked up, instead of “show, don’t tell”.

Also, the game wants you to finish six tournaments before you get any sort of decent ending.

sem,

Huh, interesting. I finished one tournament, and I felt like that was the end. I didn’t realize there was more story if you kept going.

I really liked the story and interactive novel parts of it. The sports ball part was alright as variety, but the rest of the game was the best part.

Pyre is more like a visual novel with some gameplay here and there. Now I don’t mind story heavy games but towards the end I found myself just clicking through the absolute ton of dialogue there was. Vastly preferred Bastion and Transistor which almost never interrupted the gameplay but were still able to tell amazing stories.

No no no no!!!

Stop making me feel old, sir! Undertale is one of those “new” games. Like breath of the wild. And the Switch.

simple, do games w Marvel Rivals Question - How to Play Hulk?

Hulk has a higher skill ceiling and isn’t as good as he used to be in this season. Keep your shield for dangerous situations or for getting out when you’re too deep in. You should try diving their backline and stunning a healer to pick them off then jumping back to your team.

But yes, he’s not that great unless you’re in high level play (grandmaster+). He’s also useless against flying enemies.

teft, (edited ) do games w Marvel Rivals Question - How to Play Hulk?
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

That’s how he’s played. He’s a diver. You jump in and try to distract and/or kill a squishy or healer while your team pushes in behind you. Then you jump out if the push didn’t go well.

Edit: I would also say don’t wait to get healed. Learn the heal locations or run to the spawn for a full heal so you can get back in the fight quicker. I don’t play anymore but I did play a lot of the tanks.

Każdy konflikt gdzie dochodzi do ludobójstwa powinien być nagłaśniany.

Konflikty w których to kraj uważany za “zachodni” dokonuje ludobójstwa są tym ważniejsze dla nas, bo niszczą ten mit o ucywilizowanym zachodzie który niesie kaganek oświaty “dzikiemu” wschodowi i Afryce.

Co ważniejsze, cały ten konflikt jest bardzo dobrze opisany historycznie, na zachodzie otwarcie się mówi o mechanizmach które doprowadziły do tego co jest dziś, nawet tamtejsza praca nie kryła się z obnażaniem swojego prawicowego reżimu. timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-…

W skrócie, prawicowe rządy i Netanjahu przez lata pompowali ogromne pieniądze w Hamas z nadzieją na osłabienie władz Palestyny, radykalizacje społeczeństwa, a potem wykorzystania tego jako broni przeciwko Palestynie. Do tego dochodzi tłumienie protestów Izraelczyków którzy są przeciwko, wykorzystywanie retoryki że Izrael = Żydzi, więc krytyka tego co się dzieje to antysemityzm (to nic że nawet Żydzi masowo protestowali przeciwko temu ludobójstwu). No i reakcje zachodnich władców, z czego najciekawszy jest Trump: middleeasteye.net/…/gaza-palestinian-homeland-not…

Pokolenie dzisiejszych 50 latków które pamięta to co działo się w Czczenii jak tam radykalizm był najpierw wzmacniany, a potem udomowiony pewnie widzą trochę podobieństw. Tam też jednym z punktów kulminacyjnych był bardzo krwawy atak na który jakoś dziwnie służby pozwoliły, a następnie tak jakby starano się by ilość ofiar była jak największa: pl.wikipedia.org/…/Atak_terrorystyczny_na_szkołę_…

BigDaddySlim, do games w Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons

Ya know, I told myself when they brought Verdansk back that I wasn’t gonna spend 70 fucking dollars for BO6 just to help level up guns, and even though I was tempted I didn’t do it, even when it was on sale. Shit like this is what reminds me as to why I shouldn’t buy it. Yeah, I’ll play your game because my friends and I enjoy Verdansk, it’s a good map and is fun for us to play, but I’ll be damned if I give them any money for it.

They locked one of the meta assault rifles in a season 1 battle pass (Krig) meaning you literally cannot unlock it and have to buy a weapon bundle to use it. You can pick the gun up off the ground, but not make a loadout with it without spending money. Luckily I’ve earned several of their free CoD points from previous free versions of the battle pass to unlock a bundle for it, but I shouldn’t fucking have to do that.

I’ll just cost them money to host me on thier servers now, until they remove Verdansk again and I’m not gonna play Warzone.

slaneesh_is_right,

The fact that they aren’t even try to hide it and just overtune the new gun so much and people pay money for it is so disgusting and i don’t even want to waste time on that ptw garbage

You can unlock older battle pass guns with the Armory feature but it is quite well hidden for some reason…

Reading that reddit comment section was depressing. Seeing people making excuses and saying just dont buy them. Redditors are way above the general player base in terms of awareness. Became they can actually have long form structured discussion about the state of the game. Even then the response is still “this sucks and its kind of greedy”.

Seeing the things people put up with is blackpilling. It actually spreads over the whole industry. I wish I hated technology and gaming so I wouldn’t care watching it be farmed by corporations.

SuperSpecialNickname,

People normalizing and defending this shit by saying that are part of the problem and I would even say the main reason for this

Hyphlosion,

Happy Cake Day!

SuperSpecialNickname,

Thank you! 😊

turkalino,

Tbh this is also the attitude of cod players who stuck around after the BO6 release. Warzone especially took a huge step backwards. 20 Hz server-side updates for a battle royale game is pretty sad

Hyphlosion,

That was not my attitude. Been sticking with the game since the first beta and have only recently been getting bummed by the game. My attitude was: If I’m going to spend money on the digital deluxe edition of the game, I’m sure as hell going to get my money’s worth.

Was having fun getting Dark Matter and have it on all the weapons minus this brand new season. But see my post in here that I made about the game becoming less fun.

turkalino,

My attitude was: If I’m going to spend money on the digital deluxe edition of the game, I’m sure as hell going to get my money’s worth.

By admitting to the sunk cost fallacy, you’ve really only proven my point. You’re gonna find ways to defend the game more than you should, unconsciously or not.

I know it’s hard, but in this current era of live service games recording metrics beyond just purchased copies of the game, you should vote with your play time, regardless of how much you’ve already put into the game.

Hyphlosion, (edited )

But I’m not proving your point. Nowhere have I defended the game.

I’m saying that I made my bed, so I’m lying in it. The game was an investment I made and so I was getting my money’s worth. It was a mental decision I made before buying the game.

It helped that I like Call of Duty and so enjoyed myself for a good while, despite Black Op 6 being a total mess that’s hemorrhaging casual players and now hardcore players because they’ve shat the bed with Black Ops 6 one too many times (they, being Activi$ion and Treyarch).

Though I like Call of Duty, I’m not a fanboy who will defend the game. I’m a simple 9-5er casual player who turns the game on, has a bit of fun working to a camo goal, then turns the game off when I can’t take being smoked by the supposed “skill” based matchmaking anymore.

I’m trying to show you that it’s way more nuanced than you’re making it out to be.

In regards to the sunk cost “fallacy,” it was not a fallacy when I first made my decision to purchase the game. I’m only recently at a fork in the road with this game due to its problems making it less and less fun for me. I mentioned earlier that I played the first beta. Don’t you think I would’ve not purchased the game if I hadn’t had fun then?

I have no remorse for my purchase of the game whatsoever. Many hours of entertainment have been had. However, it will be an actual sunk cost fallacy for my purchase of season 4 Blackcell if I’m not enjoying it and feel the need to continue. I’m currently at that fork in the road right now and haven’t decided whether to put the game down or not. Most likely will though if I can’t find a way to make it fun. If I decided to anyway, then it would be the sunk cost fallacy. Not for Black Ops 6 as a whole, but for Season 4 Blackcell.

Also, if you wish to throw fallacies around, I must call you out on the cherry picking fallacy. The part you quoted had neatly been cushioned above it and below it with reasoning as to why my purchase decision wasn’t an example of the sunken cost fallacy, yet you seemed to have ignored the whole context and just plucked that part of my post out in order to what, feel like a smug debater or something? Lol.

Congrats on getting me to repeat myself, I guess.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

It has nothing to do with reddit and has been going on since the days of frigging usenet.

When someone likes something, they find ways to make an exception. The biggest example being The DRM Wars where EVERYONE was suddenly an active duty military person stationed in an airgap in The Middle East and could not connect to any server to authenticate their game (but had no problem spending hours arguing on message boards). Then Valve say you need to use something called “Steam” to play Half-Life 2 and suddenly everyone is ready to say that Steam is different and not actually DRM even though the model wasn’t that different than how Stardock or even frigging Gamespy were doing stuff.

Everyone hated microtransactions and that is TOTALLY the only reason people were angry at the Star Wars game that came out within a month or two of TLJ. Then Genshin Impact came out and suddenly everyone wanted to make it abundantly clear that that was okay because, yes, it is a gacha game but it is totally a fair one where you can do everything without ever spending any money if you just grind endlessly and use multiple accounts to hoard day limited currencies.

But also? People hated DLC way back when it was something you downloaded from a BBS after mailing the developers a physical check. But when it was a game people liked (Star Crusader with mutha fugging Roman Alexander!!!), it was suddenly okay.

Which is to say: Things have been real shit for coming on 40 years of gaming. And yet, by and large, video games keep getting better (not so much the games industry for the people who make games).

Honestly I think the fact it got enough backlash that Treyarch removed it is a good thing.
