Zarxrax, do games w Looking to get into Sonic games

Well, you could play the original Sega Genesis games, since that’s where it all started. You can either download the roms to play on an emulator, or you could probably buy an official release too. The first one is skippable since the sequels basically improve on it in every way. I would at least recommend Sonic 3 and knuckles (it’s a combination of sonic 3 and sonic and knuckles, they were originally going to be one game but got split into 2 games, but through some weird lock on cartridge technology at the time, they could be combined back into one game).

I don’t know if it’s something that only happened in digital re-releases of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, or if it always did this back in the day, since I no longer have a Genesis, but the music is different in the official modern releases of Sonic 3 & Knuckles compared to original Sonic 3. It’s better in 3.

If I recall correctly it’s related to licensing issues with the person who composed the original music in Sonic 3. Some people see it as evidence of the rumor that Michael Jackson was involved in the Sonic 3 music development.

His producer was. We got that answer in the past few years.

ZephyrXero,

Yeah only way to get the original soundtrack is via emulator or an actual cartridge. I think it only pertains to Sonic 3 though. I don’t think part 2 (Sonic & Knuckles) had the same issues

ZephyrXero, (edited ) do games w Looking to get into Sonic games

Sonic 2 for the Genesis is my favorite game of all time. So I’d suggest starting with that one, personally. First Sonic was good too, but the second game refined the controls and made some small quality of life improvements. Then Sonic 3 + Knuckles and Sonic Mania are also excellent.

The 3D Sonics have been pretty hit or miss though. The controls are dumbed down and not nearly as tight as the classic 2D ones, although Frontiers was a step in the right direction.

Zelda Breath of the wild for me. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed Tears of the Kingdom but breath of the wild scratched a perfect itch for me. Especially master mode. Well over 1000 hours played.

@dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world avatar

I also maintain that Breath of the Wild was superior to Tears of the Kingdom. Apparently this opinion makes Zelda fans incredibly salty.

Kattiydid,

It’s the vibe. TotK just… Feels more industrial, and less clean and hopeful. BotW was just so pretty and you HAD to walk to places or glide the first time. The machines in TotK made it so easy to skip the nature that it felt less rewarding to play. Like, if you could just snap your fingers and have the perfect house immediately with no work, no effort, the house wouldn’t feel as rewarding as one you built with your own skill.

Long time from fan, it’s super frustrating to see 2 completely multiplayer centric games in a row. 0 interest, don’t even use summons and play souls offline to keep out invaders.

MyDarkestTimeline01, do gaming w Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon | Review Thread

I played the demo a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised by it.

theangriestbird,

yeah? which parts stuck out to you?

MyDarkestTimeline01,

I enjoyed that the game seemed to try and make it so that every play style felt equal. Stealth archer didn’t seem like “easy mode”. The visuals while not the peak of fidelity, were very interesting to look at. The world building drew me in quickly, and kept my attention. In the end it succeeded where a demo should, it made me want to get the game.

I don’t see them in the comments so: UFO 50 and OneShot.

angstylittlecatboy, (edited ) do games w What games are just objective masterpieces?

I’m going to take this as “games that I never see anyone question their quality.” (I don’t even like all these games myself)

  • Sonic 3 & Knuckles
  • Kirby Planet Robobot
  • Doom 2016
  • Street Fighter III: Third Strike
  • Pac-Man
  • Balatro
  • Steins;Gate
  • The House in Fata Morgana
  • Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
  • Gran Turismo 4
  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
  • Mega Man X
  • Mega Man X4
  • Super Mario Bros. 3
  • Hollow Knight
  • Bloodborne
  • Elden Ring
  • Balder’s Gate 3
thatKamGuy,

I’d take SMW over SMB3, but I can’t really fault anything else in this list! 😅

angstylittlecatboy,

I like SMW better myself (actually not a single franchise entry on that list is my favorite in the series) but it doesn’t have the kind of unanimous praise SMB3 does.

Montagge,

I am here to question Elden Ring’s quality

weirdbeardgame,

Steins;Gate my man cultured AF

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a good game and a worthwhile experience but you can absolutely make quite a lot of very valid critiques about it.

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah for a third person isometric RPG with non-linear branching storylines and deep thoughtful story, Disco Elysium positively blows BG3 out of the water.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

BG3 has some very fun gameplay at times, such as the much-lauded variety with which you can deal with the Goblin Camp in Act 1. That’s where it shines.

The writing is not really comparable. BG3 is in the “fine for a video game” territory. Disco Elysium’s writing is art, both the narratives, the characters, the themes and even the prose itself.

Gonna make a post too then lol

Flickerby,

Sorry, Eno caught me first lol. It’s a wonderful game and it would be cool to see more posts like this searching for people to play with as opposed to the weekly “Skyrim released on your refrigerator, should you care? (Seven pages of ads later) No”

Sounds like the solo experience isn’t great. Unless you’re okay with getting matched with randos, I guess you’d better bring exactly three players?

Rai,

Ugh I just wish it was designed for two players, so I can just play with my partner.

Sophocles, do games w What games are just objective masterpieces?

Heres a list of some favorites:

Imperfect perfection: Morrowind

Perfect perfection: Starcraft Brood War

Objective perfection: Plants vs Zombies

Subjective perfection: Knights of the Old Republic

Perfect for its time: Gauntlet IV

Perfect timeless: Sonic 2

Perfect for its genre: LOZ Minish Cap

Perfect All-in-one: Shenmue II

Minish Cap seems such an underrated gem

We’ll see how much is recency bias and how well it will stand the test of time, but I really think Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be on this list going forward. It’s definitely one of the best games I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot of games. It’s not perfect, but it’s close enough in all the parts that actually matter.

Otherwise there’s your usual suspects:

  • Disco Elysium
  • Portal
  • Half-Life 2
  • Bioshock 1
  • Final Fantasy VI
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Zelda: Ocarina of Time
  • The Last of Us
  • Baldur’s Gate 2
puia,

I still have to play it, but Clair Obscus seems like this year Baldur’s Gate 3, which is rare. A game that came out of no where and is ready to win goty

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I know this is a hot take, but: BG3 is a good game. Clair Obscur is a work of art.

puia,

I must say you are really getting me hyped to play this game. Bgs3 was a masterpiece, and i also love games like Persona so i am really excited to try a French jrpg like Clair Obscur

Ci z pałami, którzy umawiają się na ustawki, nie chodzą na mecze. “Bo tam może być policja i oni eeee prowokują”.

A zresztą jakie określenie mieli wymyślić w latach 90 na ludzi którzy zajmowali się głównie biciem ludzi uznawanych przez siebie za fanów drużyny przeciwnej (ustawki to jedno, dwa że bardzo łatwo było wtedy zarobić w papę na własnym osiedlu będąc zwykłym człowiekiem otoczonym przez bandę frajerów w nocy pytających cię “za kim jesteś”).

wylinka,

Niestety chodzą. Jak np. w Bydgoszczy gra jakaś Jagiellonia czy Widzew, to ich kibice zawsze rozwalają stadion (pewnie też vice versa).

obywatelle,
@obywatelle@szmer.info avatar

To ta część bez zakazów stadionowych, albo ta która zaraz je dostanie. Hardkorowe ekipy mają inną mentalność, w ogóle piłka ich nie interesuje. Kiedyś, kiedy obstawy policji były mniejsze, kręcili się po prostu pod stadionami żeby np. po meczu wyłapywać ludzi w innych szalikach. Naprawdę, jak ktoś nie pamięta lat 90. to nie ma startu do rozmowy o czymkolwiek. Nie zapomnę derbów Łodzi podczas których jechałam tramwajem, w który ekipa ŁKSu rzucała kamienie, bo byli tam jacyś kibice Widzewa. Na szczęście było daleko i nie dolatywały. Za to jeden z następnych tramwajów został przez to bydło wywrócony. Z ludźmi w środku.

Oh forgot. Best multiplayer game ever has to be Counter Strike 1.6, CS:GO and potentially CS2 in a few years.
