CarbonatedPastaSauce, do gaming w Oh boy 3AM!

So here’s what you do. Retire. I play video games as long as I want. I sleep whenever I want for as long as want. It’s pretty great.

So many idiots don’t know this one secret. It’s like they have to work to pay for basic needs or something stupid like that.

CarbonatedPastaSauce,

I know! I worked and slaved for 30 years only to find out they were right all along!

Genuine question, what does this provide over something like Heroic? It seems like the ability to extend to other stores with extensions?

It’s the integration into the Steam interface. So you could manage all your games through one interface.

It could have compatibility with everything in Steam, including achievements. But as long as it’s closed source I won’t touch it.

blinkfink182,

Got it. Thanks!

I bought a Steam Deck ostensibly to help me get through my backlog. What happened was that I bought more games specifically to play on it.

Viri4thus, do games w Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year

That’s some grade A vintage racism right there.

Heroic launcher stonks

Joke aside, if it won’t be subscription based and will be better than heroic I’ll probably pay

There’s just something magical about it, i’m not sure what but modern minecraft (while great in it’s own respect, at least for me) is definitely missing it. I heard there’s a modpack that helps bring back some of the magic but i’m not sure what

I have some nostalgia for the port, tho it was a pretty good port of the game, with the 4j spins added to the game! Stuff like minigames, console exclusive hud, strange mechanics not present in any other version of the game and god damn the tutorials, the tutorial world were the best!

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I love the tutorial worlds. Back before i owned the full game me and my sister would play splitscreen on the 1 hour trial of the Xbox 360 edition and try to milk the tutorial world for all we could, so i have really fond memories of it.

That’s what I did too with my friends back in the days 😅

AceFuzzLord, do games w What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

I still do it from time to time because I like playing them on original hardware, but Sonic 1&2 on Genesis/Mega Drive. The Origins Plus versions may not be 100% accurate gameplay with regards to movement/moveset, but anniversary mode’s retry special stages is real nice when half of the time I get screwed in those. Especially 2’s special stages where I feel I feel like I’m constantly getting screwed over by my favorite character/sidekick being incompetent at the special stages.

Just recently got the 3rd game (still need & Knuckles to complete the set) and while not being able to retry special stages is an issue, I can at least reset the game without having to worry about needing to replay the whole entire game over from the start. So it gets a pass because all I gotta do is replay a stage.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

2’s special stages genuinely got my nerves when i played the OG cartridge. It felt like Tails was more of a nuisance then an aid sometimes lol

it fits the developer textures oddly well. i don’t know what it is about it

Thanks for posting these! I’ve caught nearly every one since you started and have given me motivation some days to start up something and play for a bit. And I’ve never regretted it because I do enjoy gaming. On those blah days seeing someone being excited about a game lifts my mood enough to do it myself and end up feeling pretty good and having fun

I hope you don’t forget anytime soon! I appreciate your enthusiasm for your games and following along with your progress is very wholesome as well

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

That’s awesome to hear because getting people excited to play a game is my entire goal with these (along with introducing people to new games or just reminding them of old ones)

If it’s a one time payment and it works well enough, chances are big I’ll get it.

If it’s a subscription, I wish you the very best, but it won’t be for me.

Unfortunately the explanation seems to point towards the latter :(

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is basically worthless if you have Dark Souls: Remastered.

60fps, better graphics, better performance, QOL enhancements, and even better multiplayer features (up to 6 total players instead of 4, just like DS3).

Probably true of most remasters/remakes, outside of speed running. I do know that PTDE is still a popular version to speedrun due to certain glitches that aren’t present in Remastered.

PraiseTheSoup,

Dark Souls never even needed a remaster. The original could be released today and probably still be the best game of this year. The improved performance is the only thing worth noting, and even that only really matters in Blighttown, which everyone skips after their first playthrough anyway.

ZephyrXero, do games w Upscaling is actually good (as an option)

I’m fine with the concept of upscaling tech. DLSS 4 with the transformer model looks excellent. And FSR 4 is looking pretty damn decent as well. The earlier attempts weren’t as good. Ideally it would be acting more like DLAA, but 8.3 million pixels is a lot to render (4K). And if 8K is going to be a thing one day, it makes even more sense there.

I think too many people focus on the now and can’t imagine what things will be in the future as they progress.

Now frame generation, that one I feel less optimistic about. Especially when I see people using it for 60fps or less. It should really only ever be used at 80fps or higher, where the lag is less of a problem. But one day inferred frames, where it only looks at the prior frames and does not wait for the next frame, might make it a better experience.

Lastly, it’s NVidia and AMD’s marketing departments fault for having them all conflated. DLFG & FFG is what the frame gen tools should have been called, rather than shoehorning them under their super sampling and super resolution branding.

Surp, do games w What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

Diablo 2 Lord of destruction, Diablo 2 resurrected is sooo much better in many ways I’ll probably never play the og again.
