Strayce, do gaming w What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS (refresh rate). ?

I’m old enough that I remember when 28FPS @ 320x200 was considered a target, and my vision isn’t as hot as it used to be. So long as I’m not noticing any obvious issues, I don’t really care enough to check.

Have you seen the issues with the 50’s? I’m voting to skip until na-euv is widespread

penquin,

Yeah, I’ve seen the melting wires. Good thing I’m a Linux user and don’t mess with Nvidia anyway.

Boomkop3,

Ye, it’s nice to be stuck with less options

penquin,

Lol. Oh no. Less options are my thing, friend. Have you ever heard of adhd?

Boomkop3,

I do, I was diagnosed with it. That’s not a particular symptom I struggle with though

penquin,

I do, and it’s killing me. The more options I have the more frustrated I get and I quit on whatever it is I’m trying to do.

Boomkop3,

You could have a friend choose for you?

penquin,

Lmao. That’s exactly what I do actually. I trust him and he always sends me links to the things he thinks are good.

Boomkop3,

Nice!

It already exists, but the sands of time Metroidvania “Lost Crowns” was surprisingly good.

HELL YEAH! A SONIC METROIDVANIA!! 🔥🔥🔥

Die4Ever,

I guess Sonic Adventure 1 has a little bit of this, with the hub worlds. New abilities can allow you to reach new places in the hub worlds

NONE_dc,
@NONE_dc@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah! That’s why I KNOW a full Metroidvania sonic game would be the greatest thing ever!

Die4Ever,

SA1 is still my favorite in the series

NONE_dc,
@NONE_dc@lemmy.world avatar

On my top 5 for sure.

AnimalsDream,

Sonic Adventure 1 is my favorite Sonic game. I was thinking more along the lines of a 2d sidescrolling Sonic metroidvania though.

PM_Your_Nudes_Please,

Yeah, a Sonic metroidvania with gameplay akin to Ori and the Blind Forest would be absolutely top-tier. Ori was largely focused on movement instead of combat, just like the side-scrolling Sonic games typically have been.

Earthworm Jim

Please someone do anything with this franchise. I can even tolerate an open world live service game of Earthworm Jim.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Isn’t the creator/owner problematic?

AnimalsDream,

Dunno, but if that’s true, then ideally the rights would be bought and used by people who don’t suck, or maybe there could be a spiritual successor.

ZeroHora,
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

It is? Fuck

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I guess he’s really transphobic and every time someone reaches out to talk about Earthworm Jim, he gets really weird and political.

Railcar8095,

Jesus Christ, is there any bit of nostalgia left that’s not tainted by those lunatics?

At least I still Harry Potter.

Resident evil 2d Metroidvania.

The game is already genre adjacent. It would work so well.

runner_g,

Biohazard might as well be a metroidvania.

Tomb raider in 2d metrodivania would be cool.

Same with maybe Doom?

robbinhood,

Tomb Raider would be perfect for a metroidvania. Good suggestion.

robbinhood, do games w Games franchises that need metroidvania spinoffs?

Great list. Donkey Kong Country is especially appealing for me. Let’s throw mario in there too while we’re at it. I think that could work well.

I’d like to see a red dead redemption set in the early wild west.

Duuuude! Megaman would also be AMAZING as a Metroidvania!

AnimalsDream,

If you’re not aware, Megaman Zero series, and Megaman ZX games are pretty much metroidvanias.

There’s also the fanmade Megaman X Corrupted which is reimagining the Megaman X games as a metroidvania.

Batmanstinks, do gaming w Avowed Review Thread

Excited for this! It might scratch the Skyrim itch I’ve had for so many years. I know I can go into this without playing the other PoE games, but I’ve been hooked on CRPGs ever since BG3 so I kind of want to play those games first

Moonguide,

Can’t speak for PoE1, but the second one (deadfire) is a treat. Though I would not recommend playing it through turn based mode, it feels very much like retrofitting the existing RTwP system into a turn based system, which is what happened.

It takes some time to get used go it (or at least it did for me since I don’t really enjoy RTwP) but still.

Batmanstinks,

RTwP is the only thing that I’m worried about since I’m coming from BG3 and Dnd 5e. Plus, I’m playing it on Xbox with a controller, and RTwP seems better suited for mouse and keyboard, but we’ll see how it goes!

delitomatoes,

Kingdom Come 2 kinda does that for me, it’s more of a medieval rather than fantasy setting but I get flashbacks to Skyrim because of the melee combat. It’s also funny as shit

ouRKaoS, do games w Games franchises that need metroidvania spinoffs?

The Lost Vikings as a Metroidvania would be ridiculous.

3 characters have to spit up & collect things so they can come back together and use their combined efforts to progress…

AnimalsDream,

Yeah, I didn’t consider that. The game would probably have to design the map in a way that keeps all the characters relatively nearby, or introduce a mechanic for them to converge more seamlessly, like maybe having save rooms that teleport all of them together or something.

@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

Trine is the modern day Lost Vikings. You just switch characters on the fly.

@Jeffool@lemmy.world avatar

I’m just picturing big chambers like Super Metroid, and the characters moving around testing things to see what happens, then putting it together. (Maybe a zoom out button, or the map screen being relatively detailed.) So it could be very similar to the original, just “more”. You’d just need a few sets of puzzles in every chamber, for when they backtrack and revisit areas. Mind you I’m not saying it’s easy to “just” design good levels and puzzles, especially in such a large scale, just that it’s easy for me to imagine it being fun.

Splatoon. You could definitely come up with plenty of cool movement abilities to unlock. And in general I just want to see the IP explored in all kinds of directions. If the franchise had debuted a generation earlier, I keep imagining what kind of straight-to-handheld companion title it would've gotten.

My first thoughts were Final Fantasy because you have all the enemies you need. And they’ve already branched out into monster catching and Souls-like. So might as well.

My second thought was X-men because the Genesis games were already kinda built for that.

jarfil, do gaming w Are we going through another scalping apocalypse?

What are you looking for?

RTX 50 just dropped in, they’re in the “beta early adopter” phase, AKA expensive for people with more dough than smarts. They’re the same TSMC 4N process as the RTX 40, and unless you have a PCIe 5.0 motherboard, the RTX 50 makes little sense. No need to go to used market, but I’d personally stick to the 4060/4070 for the time being, or the Radeon RX 7600/7700.

If you need some serious AI oomph… then go to the pro line, there are some nice RTX Ada for less than $10k, or rent some cloud H100s.

penquin,

Nope, none of that. I was just wondering seeing all these people online not being able to get any GPUs for the last like 5 years now? I have an RX6600 that I got from Facebook for $100 and it has been serving me well. Waiting for the new AMD GPUs to see how good they are (that is where my post stemmed from) so I can snag one and give the 6600 to my son. If I can’t get any of the new AMDs, I was going to get the 7800xt and call it a day.
