These vary between arcade and simulation racing, and things in between. For some (Assetto Corsa games, Automobilista, WRC and Dirt Rally games) a racing wheel is highly recommended.

both ballisticng and beamng are very good

Oh, I didn’t realise it’s an actual game, haha. My bad, I thought they didn’t catch an autocorrect mistake.

No worries. I’ve heard of BeamNG but don’t own it and am not familiar with it to recommend. I meant BallisticNG, it’s an AG racer in the style of the Wipeout games.

Quick correction, even though the A in ARPG stands for action, action RPGs and ARPGs are not the same genre and you cant (well you can, but you shouldnt bc then youre purposefully being obtuse) just abbreviate it. I dont really like this list for other reasons, but I can see that you did put some effort into it so I dont want to be super critical.

atomicpoet,

The ARPGs you’re probably referring to, I call them Diablo-likes to distinguish them from all the other action RPGs.

I still remember someone saying that Diablo was a beat-em up, not a RPG 😁. We probably didn't know the term "hack'n'slash", but still makes me chuckle.

atomicpoet,

Terms can definitely be confusing. Diablo is definitely a hack-n’-slash, but it’s very different from the likes of Golden Axe and God of War.

Where Warframe would fit in this? It’s kinda a MMO (but not a MMO) with a lot of stat based progression.

atomicpoet,

ARPG + MORPG hybrid with looter shooter characteristics.

It doesn’t really fit anywhere cleanly, though.

That term was coined way too late, it's exilelike now.

what's the difference between an Action RPG and an ARPG to you?

nyctre,

One’s assassin’s Creed/horizon zero dawn/god of war, etc. The other is path of exile, diablo, torchlight, grim dawn etc.

After SCE increased their prices in EU and Aus to help offset the US tariffs, I doubt I’ll invest anything into the PS ecosystem any more. I’d rather redirect into PC gaming from here.

Some weird views in the article. Like comparing it to the price of the ps5 pro and will be lower. Of course it will be. It has to be since the price point of the average consumer will never buy it at that price. They need to get it back down to the $400-$500 range for it to work. Also saying the ps4 cutback on hardware compared to the ps3 may be true but it wasnt noticeable either. The jump between both consoles was huge and didnt seem like anything was sacrificed. That won’t be the case here since i doubt anyone will even notice the difference because games aren’t getting that much better looking anymore. They need to start focusing on features and other advantages to establish itself as a better option to having a PC.

I don’t see how this thing possibly competes with a handheld PC. It’ll play the same games approximately just as well but with a tiny fraction of the library, and unless something changes, online play won’t even be free.

@simple@piefed.social avatar

The Vita had a shared library system where if you get the handheld version for free if you owned the PS4 version of games. I imagine they could do something similar to keep playstation users interested

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

That’s surely what they’re planning, especially since the architecture won’t be very different this time around, but that still pales in comparison to the value you’d get from a PC handheld for what will likely be an extremely similar price.

dormedas,

The handheld PC and things like SteamOS have crossed the moat that console games used to have as a defense. The PC is coming to the living room, attaching to your TV, and playing games controller-first. The question will be how well will those games play and will they be exclusive.

The other defense, exclusive games, consoles themselves have given up. PlayStation has been publishing to PC to make up revenues thinking that it’s safe because it’s not their competitor Xbox, and Xbox bet on gamepass (and has now lost the console almost entirely, hoping to make its money back via Windows licensure).

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think the Windows license factors into the math much at all, but otherwise agreed.

OmegaMouse, do gaming w Any Strong Opinions on Games in my Steam Wishlist (provisional) from 2024?
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

So you’re wanting to eliminate as many of these games as possible from your wishlist? The only ones I’ve played here are A Short Hike and Animal Well, and I can vouch for both of those being incredible.

A Short Hike is very charming. I had such a fun time playing through it one afternoon and finding all the little secrets. It has a lovely artstyle and is the perfect length.

Animal Well is simply a great metroidvania with some really unique items and beautiful pixel art. There’s some tricky platforming there if you want to get the collectables.

Sorry if that doesn’t really help with your conundrum, but if you want to cut down your wishlist I’d recommend keeping those ones!

Tenderizer78,

Yes, I am looking to remove as many as I can. Although not just based on what people have played but also what news people have heard about them.

A Short Hike wasn’t on the list. It was a “Short Trip”. I played A Short Hike on Epic and didn’t really vibe with it.

Animal Well was in the group of ones I am most likely to play, although I don’t really enjoy metroidvania (I’ll give it a shot anyway though).

Thanks anyway. Not a lot of useable advice but I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

OmegaMouse,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

Oh my bad, I hadn’t heard of Short Trip and my brain must’ve got that mixed up xD

I saw the trailers for Squirrel with a Gun, and personally I thought it looked a bit gimmicky. Perhaps the sort of game I’d tire of after a few hours.

Tenderizer78,

I added it when I saw someone praise that the trans-flag shirt gives you extra damage with bricks. Last-minute addition and probably going in my “closer-scrutiny” pile along with Tiny Glade and Dollmare.

OmegaMouse,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

haha that’s pretty great to be fair!

Tenderizer78,

I don’t get the joke, but it’s funny nonetheless.

Tenderizer78,

I played Animal Well and was immediately reminded that I do not like metroidvania. Even Outer Wilds I liked more in theory than in practice.

Hello good sir, How does one play Porsche unleashed on PC these days? Would you have any hints please?

eru777,

There’s several videos on getting it to run on windows 10 on youtube, however I think the best way to play NFS Porsche is on an old computer. And a CRT monitor.

@rustyfish@lemmy.world avatar

If this is true I’m definitely out. I am barely playing anything technically demanding on the hardware. Mostly older or indie games. The Steam Deck has proven that handheld PC couch gaming is more than enough for me.

Come to think of it, I didn’t even had to buy the PS5. It just catches dust and unlike the PS4 I didn’t get anything like Bloodborne aka something I could pump countless hundreds of hours in to justify buying it.

caut_R, do games w Good racing games on Steam?

From all the racers I‘ve played, DiRT 2 and GRiD 2 are probably my favos, and Forza Horizon 4 is also really good. But the former two are EA now that Codemasters has been bought (although they weren‘t on release) and FH4 is delisted (and 30ish bucks anyway) so…

cRazi_man, (edited )
@cRazi_man@europe.pub avatar

Dirt 2 Dirt Rally 2 is a game that I have really enjoyed being shit at.

caut_R,

You probably mean Dirt Rally 2, I meant the original DiRT 2, which is pretty arcade-y and easy.

(The one that had Games for Windows LIVE (yep lol))

cRazi_man,
@cRazi_man@europe.pub avatar

Correct, it should be Dirt Rally 2. Highly recommend that for real rally simulation.

caut_R,

I can second that, it‘s a good sim for what I can tell anyway. (Although also EA now, see OP‘s requirements)

Redout 2 if you're into futuristic racers. It's a lot of fun.

tomkatt,
@tomkatt@lemmy.world avatar

How’s Redout 2 compared to the first one? I have the original, but have been on the fence with the sequel.

simple,
@simple@piefed.social avatar

It's a more polished version of the first, its not that different. If you liked the first you'll enjoy the 2nd
