If you want to step just a bit further back in gaming history, the old Sierra games were absolutely fantastic for their time. My personal favorite series will always be Quest for Glory. And I still go back and play through the series about once a year or so. For more even more of a puzzle focus, the King’s Quest series or Space Quest series were both very good. Most of these games were DOS based and so run well with DOSBox. The Steam version on Quest for Glory literally just auto-runs the game in DOSBox. If you enjoy any of them, I’d also recommend looking into ScummVM which tends to make running those older games really smooth, at the cost of a tiny bit of setup work.

SpooneyOdin,

I’ll always have a soft spot for the old Sierra games because they were the first adventure games I played, but I think I’d recommend the old LucasArts games to new players nowadays. The LucasArts games were just better designed - they don’t have fail states and you can’t unexpectedly die so you are more free to explore.

My recommendation would be to check out “Day of the Tentacle”. In my opinion it is the best example of point and click games. I don’t know about Linux compatibility but it recently had a re release so I think it should work.

Skunk, do games w What are your favorite split-screen co-op PC games?

+1 for it takes two.

There’s also a pretty nice list already in the comments.

I do like a lot Portal 2 but wifey cannot play for too long with me as she becomes impatient. When that’s the case and she just want to watch a story like you would watch a movie, I play A Plague Tales (both of them) and she ends up wanting to know more and finally, crying.

Omnimater,

Lmao yeah portal 2 was a little challenging

BURN, (edited ) do games w Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?

Not at all a problem for me. I pretty much only play competitive shooters/racing games, so live service is a pretty important part to both genres.

Much prefer it to the older DLC models where DLC content would be dead half the time because nobody would buy it.

Edit: Love that the Lemmy hivemind is as bad as Reddit. Can’t have anyone disagreeing with you

Boiglenoight,

It used to not be. FPS games were run by players, not corporations. The ability to run your own dedicated server was baked into the game. Today you can still setup a Quake 2 server without having to rely on the publisher or a 3rd party. It doesn’t have to be that way today, but people accept it.

BURN,

I absolutely will accept it because it brings better gameplay. FPS games are more fun when there’s constant balancing changes and new content on a schedule. It’s infinitely better than older game models where if one thing is broken you’re stuck with it for the entire lifetime of the game.

Being able to run my own dedicated server isn’t even something I’d want to do, nor would I want to play on player hosted servers.

When games go EoL, sure, require them to open source the multiplayer engine. But really, it’s not a big deal that an individual can’t host a Battle Royale server.

How is this different than Valve continuing to patch Team Fortress 2 decades after its release? There’s no Live Service model here.

I think that’s true for most people, but a small number of a community can support the vast majority. It would ensure a game isn’t dependent on a company to exist, either.

If that was an actual practice that’d be great. There’s no incentive for the publisher to do this, however, and they’re profit driven.

BURN,

TF2 was technically a Live Service when it was actively receiving updates. The fixes that are added by valve are an outlier, and doesn’t change game balance. Constant balance changes are a necessary part of any competitive game. I’ve got no interest in something that isn’t being updated semi-frequently.

Self hosted servers don’t make sense in most of these games anymore. Communities like this vastly overestimate the want for custom servers. Most gamers don’t really care, for better or worse.

I love Red Alert’s, they’re still funny. :D

I thought, in the past, there was a way to swap what region of a game you had from within Steam. For example if you had an account in Spain and you wanted to play the English version of a game due to poor dubbing or whatever.

Could you order a disc version online? The game was removed from the Federal Testing Agency for Media Harmful to Minors (?) in 2011.

RichByy,
@RichByy@beehaw.org avatar

Disc versions will not run. Old CD’s won’t work due to DRM stuffs from Microsoft (all of my old games on CD’s like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets PC won’t run on Windows). The only solution would be a no-cd version, but I’d like to avoid random downloads from unknown sources.

Thank you though! :)

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

No worries. There is a fix pack available for it that has about 2,000 reviews on Steam if you do want to go that route. I would image that would be relatively reputable.

Probably just as safe as the pirated version Rockstar themselves were selling.

The Stanley Parable, although it couldn’t be further from High on Life in terms of its comedy. Personally I don’t love the game but it’s absolutely hilarious.

Fun fact: There’s a fan-made Unity port of the Stanley Parable for PS Vita

I tried the game and it really wasn’t a fun experience for me. It’s just an overpriced walking simulator with some not really funny dialog playing.

All I did was trying to find bugs because I wanted to uninstall after 30 mins, when I figured out it’s not just the start that is slow, it’s the entire “game”

Oneeightnine,

I mean yeah, it’s absolutely that.

@azalty@jlai.lu avatar

High on Life is cool but seems defo overpriced and still has unfixed bugs that can brick your save.

I like to find bugs and do out of bounds in games but here it just broke a lot of things.

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

That’s always a shame. I wonder if there is a mod out there to remedy some of those issues or if they are still rolling out updates.

You could try to use a VPN and make a US steam account, then that might allow you to buy the game

RichByy,
@RichByy@beehaw.org avatar

Thank you for your suggestion! :D But please be careful with buying games on Steam through VPNs, because that can actually get your Steam account permabanned. I don’t know if you can avoid that with creating a new account though, just be careful with main accounts.

The South Park games are fun, I liked Stick of Truth more than Fractured But Whole but they're both enjoyable and funny if you like that kind of humor
