DK64 comes to mind.

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.

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.

Running on water in NG2 is super fucking cool.

In The Wonderful 101, you can dive under water when you carry a hammer (heavy weapon), otherwise you swim on the surface.

Fond memories of drowning in Quake {1996}

Lighting Gun.

Those with 3D accelerators had transparent water and could see people under the surface and kill them.

Those without got screwed.

Why are you trusting the word of random people on the Internet

In regards to what do you mean?

You can’t believe everything you see on the Internet, that’s how WWI got started. :)

Clanket, 9 dni temu do gaming w Some slight regret

I dont pirate games, and I see them sneaky command windows opening and closing a bit. Mainly on startup

sem, 8 dni temu

Same, on Windows 11. Not sure what causes it. Someone should make a utility that logs every time a cmd window was opened.

darkstar, 6 dni temu

You know you can check the actual windows logs right?

Edit: you can also enable CMD logging, you don’t need someone to write you a program

I tried to learn how to do that with event viewer and then some other power tool thing but I could never figure out.

You shouldn’t be allowed to patent game mechanics.

I mean could you imagine if movies worked like this? Imagine if Disney owned patents on exposition through song, talking animals, and twist villains.

Everblue 2 for the PS2 is one of my all-time favorite games. I play it about once a year. The original was an EU only release thst I didn’t get to play until a few years ago. It also had a sort of spiritual successor with Endless Ocean 1 & 2 for the Wii, made by the same developer. However, the first one didn’t have any of the treasure finding mechanics and there was no real threat to the player at any time. Neither series really let you walk on land, so to speak. The Everblue games do have above water parts, you return to the island between dives to talk to people, sell treasure, sleep and such, but they’re prerendered images that are more like a point and click adventure. There were a couple pc games I played around the same time that were made by independent developers that never really took off.

Marathon 2 (1995) let you go underwater.

I vaguely remember playing Untold Legends back in the day. It was good.

Why would you not get the bundle if you want MKW? It’s $50 that way.

AlexanderTheDead, 6 dni temu do games w PC Gaming’s Mascot Squad—who makes the cut?

As a pc gamer, I disagree with the premise. PC gaming doesn’t have a mascot squad because PC Gaming isn’t a monolith, whereas Nintendo (or Xbox or Playstation) is.

You want THE PC gaming mascot? It’s Steve from Minecraft. No other character, not even Doom Guy, comes even remotely close.

While I personally understand the reference, it’s still not even close, being realistic.

Certainly not the first by any means, but I was really impressed with the way that the Ori games handled diving. The omni-directional controls are 🤌
