Dark cloud is one of my favorites, I go back and replay it at least once a year. The second one was good too but it doesn’t quite have the same vibe as the first

Never played the first but the second had some mind numbing gameplay loops that didn’t do it for me.

Both are great, but the drastically changed a lot in the 2nd. In UK they even called the sequel ‘Dark Chronicle’ rather than ‘Dark Cloud 2’.

At least the 2nd one removed the system where you could permanently lose your best weapons if you forgot to repair in time, they just become unusable.

Morrowind (2002) not only let you swim, there were spells that could extend your breath and let you walk on water.

You could levitate and so many of the caves and dungeons in that game had straight up secret areas you could only get to by levitating.

There’s a side quest that you can only get if you levitate up to a ledge at the very bottom of a Daedric ruin.

I have discovered a new love for it after previously abandoning it.

I want to enjoy the outpost building but they made it stupidly complicated.

How is it compared to Fallout 4’s settlement building? I was assuming they’d use a similar system to that

Venicon, 5 dni temu

Good question! I found it more complicated because you have such a wide variety of resources needed to build everything and only so much storage on your ship so multiple trips and not as convenient fast travel if outside your system.

More than that though is the ridiculous cargo system. You have to create machines to pull out the resources from the ground then a machine to store them and a transport one to get it to the cargo link then it only goes to one side of the cargo link as an outbound resource. Just needlessly complicated and poorly explained in my opinion.

Volunteer PR work (including knowingly spreading misinformation) is extremely common for all fanboys, it’s a Nintendo specific thing.

EDIT: I meant to say it’s not a Nintendo only/specific thing. It’s true of all hardcore fanboys, even outside of game.

Black and white 2 is phenomenal.

The first was probably Duke Nukem 3D, released January 29th, 1996:

…fandom.com/…/Water_mechanics_in_Duke_Nukem_3D

If you consider their hacky approach to 3D cheating (they didn’t support one part of a level to be above another, and implemented looking up/down by just distorting the image, so all corners were too pointy), then you’d have to wait a few months for Quake.

The first actually 3D first person game was Quake, released June 22nd, 1996, and it let you swim:

DK64 comes to mind.

owenfromcanada, 5 dni temu do games w First/notable 3D games where you could dive below water (and walk on land)

Also, Wave Race 64 (1996) is sort of entirely based on that… but the water physics were pretty cool at the time, and there were even parts where you could take a jump and dive under obstacles.

Ashtear, 5 dni temu do games w First/notable 3D games where you could dive below water (and walk on land)

Half-Life 2 always stands out in my mind for this due to it being such a physics playground.

I usually hate water areas in games, though 😂 Especially the Zelda ones.
