Ghost of Yotei did a great job in gameplay and graphics.

mika_mika,

Excuse me this is a circle jerk about why indie games are clearly superior.

jaschen306,

Why can’t we just enjoy games that are fun?

gmtom, do gaming w When I was a child I thought as a child...

I still stand by the whole “Glorious PC gaming master race!!!” Circlejerk had a profoundly negative impact on video games, as for about 10 years the mainstream gaming community seemed to only give a shit about frame rates and resolutions and Devs where happy to just focus on that instead of making their games fun to play or have interesting stories.

Stories?! In MY games?! We have AI for that at home.

do you even raytrace lol

faintwhenfree,

Unfortunately, I’d have to agree with you. I recently got told by my brother that he a late thirties piss ant, thinks my 1440p 144hz monitor is shit compared to his 4k 260hz. Piss ant plays only dota. Only game he plays is dota. FUCKING DOTA. he is fucking herald 3. It’s like he is bottom 20%, he lives life in 30 fps and thinkshe can get use from 260hz.

Bosht,

I don’t even want to know what the price tag on his monitor / TV was.

Eh, I think that’s more of a business thing. Numbers are something execs can compare on spreadsheet. Putting more budget into making number go up is something execs will do. Creativity can’t be quantified as anything other than risk.

Of course anyone that likes video games knows making the same game over and over just with more pixels is boring. But how can you explain that in the form of a spreadsheet?

I wouldn’t be so confident in your average video game consumer. How many “HD Remake” games sold like hotcakes?

I fucking love Highway 17 - it’s an atmospheric and enjoyable road trip and I will die on this hill.

No, this is not built for Android!

nutbutter,

You should consider using Retroarch instead.

truly dull sections - yes I’m looking at you the vehicle sections … makes playing through HL2 a slog. Just a few hours in, I didn’t want to play any more. I was done.

Totally agree with this. HL1 is one of my favorite games ever but HL2 was just boring. I tried it a few times and never finished. Opposing Force and Blue Shift are my Half Life 2 and Half Life 3.

Adult me is making teenage me happy, because I play games which looks super realistic and state of the art in my teenage times :D

Right? I’m tearing through Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne remaster and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. It’s great.

FuyuhikoDate,

Thanks for reminding me of my lold backlog :D

My personal example are HD packs for ps2 games on emulator… My backlog there is really long and I loving the fact that i can play them on a higher resolution :D

orbitz,

First Forza game looked so damn good at the time, like almost real for the videos (yes I know but when your peak graphics is really surpassed you think it’s real). Nowadays that never happens cause I’m old and time passes so quickly. I do stop to enjoy the flowers now and then still. Sometimes quite literally in video games to check out how things are progressing I love jungle scenes and they sort of needs tons of plants.

FuyuhikoDate,

(yes I know but when your peak graphics is really surpassed you think it’s real).

Friend of mine thought this once we played a racing game one Dreamcast. He came into the room and thought we watch a race for a moment.

It’s still stunning to me how small the great red spot has become. If it gets any smaller it’s hardly a feature worth talking about. I remember back in the 80’s looking through my telescope at Jupiter and clearly seeing the spot. I know it’s entirely possible, but to see a large thing like that visibly change over my lifetime still somehow feels wrong.

Would love to have one without the labels. Perfect wallpaper material. Is the source somewhere in nasa.gov?

Never liked photorealistic games for some reason, my brain’s perception just filters it out past the first few minutes looking at effects.

catfeeder,

With some modern photo-realistic games I can’t even discern anything on screen: it’s so much detail that my brain becomes overwhelmed :P

The new Doom is literally unplayable for me because of that (and the music).

gandalf_der_12te,

i do think that cartoon-style games (like this) are more immersive in general.

catfeeder,

For me immersion depends more on sound design than on visuals.

Infra Arcana, the game that looks like this (screenshot’s not mine):

QMDeXAc7X22YkXt.png

It is among the most immersive horror experiences for me. I still clearly remember walking down a long empty corridor, stumbling upon a door at the end of it, and when I approached the door something behind it started banging - it was so fucking scary!

Ephera,

Well, it does just look like more of that reality, you can find outside. It’s kind of inherently boring.

Reading the comments aged me more than anything

RamRabbit, do games w Day 550 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

I have always liked ODST quite a bit for changing up the formula and being an overall solid game. I might do another run of that soon. :)

Though, I have spent more time playing CE than every other Halo combined. Much of that due to the fact only it and 2 were released for PC until somewhat recently, and Halo 2 got saddled with Games for Windows Live. But, mostly just because CE is damn good.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve been listening to CE’s soundtrack regularly recently. it’s aesthetic and story are just so unique and an amazing thing I’ve never really seen replicated. Not even the sequels manage to nail it’s unique vibe, though they’re amazing in their own ways

ZombiFrancis, do games w Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game

The bridge crossing level and using the crossbow to crucify combine soldiers were about the best parts of the game as I remember it.

Half-Life was the same. The game doesn’t spoon feed you a narrative, the same way real life doesn’t have a narrator (at least one outside of your head).

You need to pay attention to your surroundings, listen in to NPCs talking, read posters on the wall, etc to piece together the story.

It was and is one of the cooler ways to do storytelling in my opinion. Cutscenes etc are fine but for a first person game, I love the immersion of the story happening around you rather then being loredumped on you while your agency is taken away from you.

Auster,

Agreed. And in this line of more subtle storytelling, from the games I played from the franchise, if anything, it took all the way to Portal 2 for some things to start making sense.
