Breadhax0r, do games w I just read about early humans causing the extinction of megafauna and thought of Monster Hunter

So up until very recently, the monster hunter games had a theme of living in balance with the environment and monsters were only hunted to help control manageable numbers or if some had gone out of control. Then they were apparently specifically told to tone down their environmental messaging to appeal to a wider audience.

A word to the wise, as you say you don’t normally buy games - do double check whether your Mac is new enough for the game. I don’t know exactly how specs work on mac, but I would hazard a guess that anything older than, say, 2019, won’t be able to play it.

Jimmycrackcrack,

Thanks mate.

Droechai, do gaming w Recommend me your favorite linear games!

The Thief series are linear and awesome. The third game, Deadly Shadows are the easiest to get into (with an almost mandatory patch mod called Sneaky Upgrade) and if the story whets your appetite go back and play the others in order.

W sumie by mi się przydało, więc zaraz odpalę do testów Speech Note; github.com/mkiol/dsnote

Można zainstalować przez ‘sklep’ z aplikacjami w Ubuntu/Debianie wyszukując po nazwie, albo jak chcesz się poczuć bardziej hakersko - instalacja w terminalu:
flatpak install flathub net.mkiol.SpeechNote

Jeśli masz komputer z oddzielną kartą graficzną (GPU nvidia albo AMD) to warto doinstalować elementy do tego i tego i ją wykorzystać, bo to na pewno znacznie przyśpieszy działanie. Program Open Source, działa w całości lokalnie, ma nic nie wysyłać do internetu, więc znacznie bardziej prywatne niż używanie czegokolwiek online. Teoretycznie polski jest tam w pełni wspierany.

Na lekko złomotawym komputerze bez karty graficznej prędkością nie powala, dyktując powyższy komentarz musiałem poczekać ze 2 minuty aż go przemieli, ale wynik zaskakująco dobry. Jestem pod wrażeniem.

Po instalacji trzeba wejść w języki wyszukać polski i wybrać model językowy do ściągnięcia. Pierwszy z góry dał słabe efekty, ale faster whisper large v3 daje bardzo dobre wyniki.

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Which unplayed game in your library are you most looking forward to playing eventually?

A good chunk of the 3DS library. So many titles I haven’t gotten around to yet.

I need to eventually finish monster hunter iceborne and then play Rise! I have a feeling I’ll probably end up just jumping to wilds though. It’ll probably be hard to go back to older titles when that game releases.

The Yakuza series! I have only finished zero, 1 & 2. They release them faster than I’m getting to them lol.

Ashen44,

Monster hunter mentioned!

I really want to tell you to give rise a try because the sunbreak expansion is absolute peak monster hunter, but I agree that february 28th release date is creeping up way too fast…

Megaman_EXE,

I want to try it so badly! I loved that they leaned into the Japanese themes and imagery, too. I think I’ll definitely have to make some time to play it.

I want to also play persona 3 for the first time, but it’s like 100 hours or so, and I look at that number and think, “That’ll take me 6 months to finish.” Haha maybe I’ll hermit myself inside the house this winter and smash it out in half that time

Tropper, do gaming w Is Assassin's creed shadows going to be some free to play bullshit or will I be able to just buy it?

I’m not entirely sure, but I think Mirage on the App Store is a trial version with the ability to buy the full version, which is why it’s listed as free to play with micro transaction.

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, Mirage is not a free to play game. Must be a trial version, with option to buy the full game.

Gork, do gaming w Is Assassin's creed shadows going to be some free to play bullshit or will I be able to just buy it?

Ubisoft says they make AAAA games now, so probably at least $70 for the base game standard edition.

MrScottyTay, do games w Are there any recent-ish single player, complete games that are similar to Rise of Nations and would work on Mac or at least on WINE?

I’ve not played it yet but beyond all reason is a new rts that’s free and i don’t think it’s “free to play” free either but i might be wrong about that

@all-knight-party@fedia.io avatar

I'm a little behind, but I completed AC Odyssey and that was just buy it and that's it. They had a cash shop for armor sets but it was completely unnecessary and I never even looked at it much less bought anything from it. So provided the releases after that are the same it's a "there is an MTX shop but the game is balanced without it" situation

thingsiplay, do gaming w Is Assassin's creed shadows going to be some free to play bullshit or will I be able to just buy it?

We don’t know. If I guess, it will be a full priced 69 Dollar game with 100 Dollar special edition for preorder. Other than that, Ubisoft is desperate and they said they won’t do this microtransaction shit they did before, so the integrity of the actual game is kept. I believe it when I see it, but that’s what they said. They even want to release it on Steam without the Ubisoft launcher on PC. Hell thats an improvement!

If the game truly has no bullshit, then I might check it out. Didn’t play an Assassins Creed since Black Flag on the Xbox 360. And I like Japan, so good oppurnity to hit me.

I found out recently that Portal has some free mods, I’ve just started reloaded and its pretty good so far.

Talos Principle

Is not linear.

DdCno1,

I’m currently playing through this game. At one point, it totally hit me that the non-linear structure and even the way secrets are scattered throughout the world is very reminiscent of Super Mario 64.

dwindling7373,

You are not wrong… I guess in both instance they came from the desire never to break the immersion through any kind of loading.

The weirder think to me is that it was made by the guys behing “Serious Sam”, that basically mastered the open field shooter genre, which is kinda like the opposite of this game?

DdCno1,

Yes, exactly! Coming from one of the best-made mindless game series to essentially gaming high art is quite the transformation. There has always been a lot of talent at Kroteam, but I’m glad they have finally found their true calling.

The small handful of nods to Serious Sam in The Talos Principle are quite amusing, by the way. I almost got a heart attack from suddenly hearing the sound of the headless kamikaze…

I second Quantum Break. When I first started that game, I wasn't sure if I would like it, but it was fantastic!

blindsight, (edited )

Portal Pro I remember being great. So good that Portal 2 was a disappointment for me when it landed.

I needed to cheat (watch the YouTube solution video) on a few solutions, iirc, too; not because they’re badly designed, just because I couldn’t wrap my head around the solution.

It should be noted that a couple of the portal solutions need reasonably quick portal placement, so I don’t think it would be as good without KB+mouse. It took me a few tries to nail one of the techniques.

arudesalad, do games w Are there any recent-ish single player, complete games that are similar to Rise of Nations and would work on Mac or at least on WINE?

I haven’t played rise of nations but from your description, you might like the core paradox games (crusader kings -> europa universallis-> victoria -> hearts of iron) despite their shitty dlc model. Currently, eu4 is on sale with all its dlc for ~£40, dlc isn’t very necessary for the other games. They are more grand strategy than 4x. You can use mods to convert saves and carry your campaign through the games. All together, they can cover all of human history (European, North African and West Asian medieval history and then the rest of the world from 1444 onwards). If what you like about rts is the unit micromanagement, you might want to go with victoria 2 rather than victoria 3, you will need victoria 2 dlc and it is a lot older.

If you want a 4x rts, stellaris is very good, but it isn’t based on human history.

reddfugee, do games w Are there any recent-ish single player, complete games that are similar to Rise of Nations and would work on Mac or at least on WINE?

Maybe 9 Bit Armies? I feel it’s more similar to C&C than RoN, but I loved the heck out of RoN back in the day and 9BA is pretty fun. The battleships are a hoot, they hit really hard and have range for days, which combines well with the destructible bridges.

Edit: Whoops, did not read closely enough to see you’re on a Mac. 9BA might work, this person seems to have had luck reddit.com/…/how_to_play_9bit_armies_on_macos/?rd…

There isn’t a historical element in 9BA but you do get air & naval units

Not the same but StarCraft 2 is available on Macs and runs acceptably on my M1 Air. It probably runs quite well on M2 Max. Even though it’s seen as predominantly multiplayer game it has a very nice single player campaign with tech tree upgrades between missions.

I know there are many Total War and Paradox games on Macs but they don’t run well for me through Rosetta. Might be worth a try in your case.
