I played the fuck out of Cannon Spike on Dreamcast

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannon_Spike

But I was a huge SmashTV fan back in teh day. I still play it when I see a cabinet.

I tried to get into the mindset to get good at Ikaruga but I just cannot invest that kinda time.

Dreamcast had so many good shmups.

Guardian Legends and 1942.

Cyberpunk 2077, probably. The game maxed out will destroy your graphics card but the graphics are undoubtedly gorgeous.

Horizon Forbidden West also has really good graphics.

otacon239,

I second Horizon. There are moments where I’m convinced the graphics are pre-rendered when cranked to the max.

I second Cyberpunk, ray tracing enabled or not. That game truly captures a realistic dystopian world in the best way possible.

emeralddawn45,

I just started playing ghost of tsushima on my steam deck and it’s fucking gorgeous even on low settings, so I assume that would be pretty beautiful maxed out too.

I do. Never really got into it but I thought it was a cool idea!

I just finished Immortals of Aveum. I really liked the story. Felt like an early 2000 science fiction action movie. It’s gorgeous looking but the shooting didn’t have enough oomph to be really fun, so I stopped playing after the credits rolled. Didn’t feel the need to 100% it.

Donut,

I will look it up but please feel free to elaborate, it sounds cool.

ISOmorph,

It has a lot of Doom-like exploration for new gear and other goodies. Also a handful optional bosses which are pretty hard to beat. But the shooting revolves around basically 3 weapon types (magic types in this case): a DMR, an SMG and a shotgun. The variations thereof don’t feel different enough and the feedback lacks kick, so the shooting doesn’t feel very meaty. It’s still solid enough, but the story is definitely what carried me through the 20ish hours of the game.

ConstableJelly,

Interesting. I heard the main character is insufferable. Would you disagree or is the story good in spite of him?

ISOmorph,

The characters are great. It’s not BG3 obviously, but there’s enough depth there. Like I said, it’s on the level of a goofy action movie plot from 20 years ago. No ones gonna get an oscar but you’ll be entertained nonetheless.

I was playing Rise of the Tomb Raider pretty much non-stop, a lot of fun. Gorgeous game and runs really well on my potato but…hehe Epic Games did something and now ROTR along with a lot of other games just appear as “OS Unsupported” in my library :) and after a little searching on the other site turns out everyone is having the same issue.

Oh well, atleast Epic Games gave away DRM free versions of those games so I can still play my copy

Just beat Slay the Princess twice. Wow, really lived up to the hype for me. Excellent writing and art. Excellent... Format and pacing for a visual novel with a lot of different choices. The themes it explores are incredibly interesting and varied.

I heartily recommend it to anyone who enjoys a VN with a mysteriously intriguing story.

Ghost of Tsushima, very good PC port. Also picked up Dying Light 2.

muhyb,

How is the PSN requirement?

regitseroms,

I believe that’s required for multiplayer. Haven’t tried yet and didn’t need to login for single player.

muhyb,

So it’s optional. That’s nice to hear.

I’ll answer your question with another question: What is the most realistic-looking game?

any1th3r3, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 19th

Just finished Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty, which I enjoyed greatly, despite all the jank!

I’ll likely move on to DMC 5 now, since I left it unfinished a few years ago and would like a shorter / fast-pace game atm.

I’ve also been playing a fair amount of Guilty Gear Strive on the side, first real fighting game and it’s a blast so far trying to learn the right combos, cancels, etc…

echodot, (edited ) do games w UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government

Honestly it’s cute that you think that the British government give a damn what you think. They are incompetent and corrupt, why would you possibly think that they would have the mental capacity to effectively respond to this petition?

The Conservatives only care about profit, what you’re asking them to do is legislate against businesses. They do not do that. They are not going to implement any pro-consumer laws because that just gets in the way of making large sums of money at the expense of everything else.

Delphia,

You’re right. Everythings fucked, why try at all lets just roll over and take it.

echodot,

Yeah because I said that didn’t I.

Jesus Christ doing pointless stuff is pointless. I’m all for action that is effective but petitions on the government website have literally never achieved anything in the entire history of the system existing.

So what would you do instead?

eluvatar,

Complain that other people aren’t doing anything, apparently

xkforce,

And your suggestion is what exactly?

rikudou,
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

Turn back time and don’t leave the union that actually does pro-consumer things?

echodot,

Realistically that is actually the only option.

Turning back time but just hoping that the EU implements something. Then we all get to benefit from the Brussels effect. There really isn’t anything that we can do.

The best we can hope for is we can vote for whoever is necessary in your constituency to get the Tories out, and hope that Labour care, but they probably won’t.

Mongostein,

You’re right, but all I see is condescension and complaints with no solutions.

What have you done to improve the world lately?

echodot,

Banging your head against the wall is not a solution if banging your head against the wall has no possible hope of having an effect.

Mongostein,

So nothing but bitch. Gotcha.

echodot,

But the petition isn’t going to work so you’ve also done nothing.

Mongostein,

Well, I don’t live in the UK, so it’s not for me to sign, and I wasn’t talking about this specific thing.

Have you helped anyone lately? Try it. It feels better than bitching endlessly online.

echodot,

No I am talking about this specific thing. My point is that people sign the petition and then get all smug and feel like they’ve done something, the government doesn’t care about it, as is evidenced by their response.

If you want to do something go and publicly protest it’s the only thing that gets their attention. Things might be different in whatever country you’re from but in the UK petitions are not worth the paper they’re not written on. Also this petition was stupid anyway because it’s too focused on video games, (as opposed to software in general, operating systems, critical business applications, and device drivers) which basically guaranteed the government were going to ignore it from the outset.

This petition could have been much more broad and it would have had much more marketable appeal. All I’m doing is pointing that out, and I’m getting hate from all sides from people who seem to think that the government should somehow care about video games as much as they do. Now, if somebody came up with an actual campaign that had any chance of victory I’d be all on it. The trouble is no one ever does. They just create petitions ad infinitum.

Rentlar,

It already has done much more than you give credit for. People are talking about it. More importantly, legislators are talking about it, which is the first step for things for laws to change/clarify what it means to own a digital product in the UK.

Zekas,

Your body is an engine that turns useful words into grating screeches.

echodot,

Yeah whereas you’re doing loads

Even if it has only 1% chance of working, I’m willing to spend 20 seconds putting my name and postcode on a website. I won’t die from typing 20 characters on a keyboard

I've been playing the World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria mode since it came out. It's fun, but extremely grindy at max level. I really hope Blizzard improves the balancing, since right now it feels like you gotta decide between spending the special currency on cosmetics and mounts or upgrading your gear. I chose a druid, just for the flexibility of potentially playing every role, but am currently Balance, which I never really played before.

Chants of Sennaar and I’m having tremendous fun.

I just can’t put Hades II down! It’s not finished, and I’m running up against that more and more. But the polish is incredible!

Islets. First Metroidvania I’ve ever tried and I love it.
