MyDarkestTimeline01, do games w A chill gaming community for the 30+ crowd

Thanks for letting me know. I may pop in there just to look around. I’m 39.

A remove HUD options. I’d also like it if they put a big warning in the graphics section explaining how higher graphics can affect the game.

I see a lot of people bitching about lag, but if my shit connection and potato PC can run the game on low, I’m pretty sure the complainers need to reduce their expectations, accept that they don’t have a top of the line computer anymore and bring down their settings.

Another commented said Fully Remappable Controls, but I want to foot stomp it. On PC games, I use EDSF instead of WASD, but if some controls can’t be remapped and they overlap with EDSF then I won’t play the game.

On console, I fucking hate that Elden Ring maps “crouch/sneak” to pushing down on the movement stick. I’m furiously fighting for my fucking life against a boss that attacks every 0.7 seconds. I’m moving that stick as fast as I can, which means I’m pushing hard on it. It sucks to be trying to run away from an attack but then start crouching and sneaking away from a 40ft tall axe coming down on you.

Grimy,

I tend to clutch the remote when stressed. It’s highly frustrating when I’m in the middle of an intense gunfight and suddenly my character tries to melee. Having to push down and hold a thumb stick while doing other actions with my fingers makes my hand sore as well.

Well one of those is just for saved data while the other is for the whole game.

IrateAnteater,

Yeah. To make a fair comparison, you’d have to take the number of games in your PS/2 library and multiply it by 4.7 GB per game.

Not necessarily. That’s the max size but tons of games were 1.5-3GB. My modded OG xbox has iso’s loaded directly on the drive. Jurrassic Park: Operation Genesis is like 600mb.

IrateAnteater,

That’s why I went with the 4.7 GB DVD as the average. Actual game disks ranged from 700 mb CDs to the 8.something GB dual later DVDs, with actual game sizes ranging anywhere in-between.

From drastic oversupply to drastic undersupply in like a year.

Goodlucksil, do games w FediCraft - Season 0

I joined and immediately noticed time seemed to flicker between night and day at random intervals. It stopped when I slept but I wonder why did it happen?

I was wondering that too. Its actually a thunder storm. The worst thing is that it also spawns a lot of skeletons :/. I feel like it is happening alot, it might be related to the biome. Thanks for checking it out though. :)

The PS2 has a hard drive slot but just didn’t come with one by default. There was an official Linux release for it and in Japan you could even use it as a DVR. I don’t think this is a fair comparison.

I’m sorry, but no it absolutely was not. If you had more than a single user those bad boys filled up relatively fast.

mcforest,

This. I hated them so much.

Quetzalcutlass,

At least they were better than the memory cards for the original PlayStation, which didn’t even hold enough data for a single player. I’m pretty sure there were some games that used most of a card by themselves.

XeroxCool, do games w What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?

Fortnite. No story to catch up on, no true goals besides winning, no long-term strategizing. I’m sure PUBG is the same/better, but my SO is entertained by the cartoonish nature of FN. It brings us excitement when I’m close to winning. With the introduction of zero build, I fair well. I used to feel more guilt for it being a “bad” game and for not giving time to the betrer story/campaign titles, bur you know what? I’m tired and my time is limited as an actual adult. I’ll take my dopamine where I can get it, thank you.

I’m replaying Ace Combat 7 right now. I can’t believe how bad the writing is. I played it in 2020 and had a grand time with probably 6 runs for the various achievements. Turns out, I remember basically nothing of the story. It’s definitely amusing to revisit the AI story aspects now that “AI” is in full swing. I guess AC5 set my standard for AC stories, but maybe that doesn’t hold up well either. Regardless, I’m in it for the fun, respectable flight physics. Just don’t ask me where I keep 144 missiles stored.

InFerNo,

My kids play fortnite and I sometimes join them. Was watching some tournament on a stream and the “meta” at a high level of this game is just completely bonkers.

XeroxCool,

I quit around 2019 because I just didn’t stand a chance anymore. I’d place 2 walls and a ramp in the time it took most top-25 players to build a small castle with a wine cellar, jacuzzi, and escalator (or so it felt). I can’t keep up with these goddamn Ritalin-riddled kids.

It always cracks me up when my go-to move (in zero build) is to just stand still when it gets to close quarters. They start jumping like a cracked out kangaroo and miss shot after shot. I only do pitch/yaw and some sideways strafe, no jumping. It lets me use my Ps1/Ps2 era PvE experience.

Is it really bad writing, or just anime tropes?

XeroxCool,

Is it? I actually just played the mission where you find out Mihaly has 20 names and thought “this must be a joke, right?”. If it’s anime tropes, I’m totally unaware. The subreddit was just full of meta memes so I didn’t learn anything useful in my reddit days

TachyonTele, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

I just want a exit to desktop button always available. I don’t always have time to go all the way back to the title screen just to edit out.

frongt,

Alt+F4 usually works for that

murmelade, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Mute while in background aka stfu I’m tabbed out ffs

frongt,

Also just plain support that. Too many games lock up or outright crash if they lose focus.

Daedskin, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Any game with a free cam should have the option to turn off 3d fly. Trying to perfectly position a camera while having to constantly turn in order to not go up or down while trying to slightly reposition has got to be one of the most annoying things.

I still remember in high school being so envious of my friend when he got a 1GB hard drive lol

Gerudo, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Give me a way to replay cutscenes, and history of dialog.

in general: settings which have multiple levels, display it as a slider so I can visually see which ones are actually maxed out and which arent. It’s insanity when most settings have off/low/med/high/higher and randomly some of them have additional levels like epic/ultra/psycho/gigaultrapseudobullshit. You have to go each and everyone through to figure out which have higher settings. Now, this is not a flex, my system can’t run new games on gigaultrapseudobullshitultra++, but older ones? sure.

for fps & tps games: FOV.

otherwise, in no particular order, option to toggle off entirely:

  • motion blur
  • chromatic aberration

otherwise, must haves:

  • subtitles on/off
  • master volume/music/sfx/dialogue as separate sliders.
  • don’t default volume to max, this is instant ear explosion if you happen to use different audio devices
