I’ve been playing Windswept, it’s an amazing little platformer in the spirit of Donkey Kong Country but very unique and incredibly well done.

Also, I just started a little 2D adventure game called Spindle. You play as the new incarnation of death tasked with retrieving people’s spirits. It’s a pretty fun zelda-like so far.

Escape from Duckov also still has me hooked. It’s very addictive, especially after loading up a bunch of mods and quality of life improvements.

Games you can’t pause. I love Dark Souls, but PLEASE give me a real pause button !

I’m okay with the inventory not pausing, that’s part of the game design. I’m not okay with the fact I can’t pause at all, so if my neighbour rings for their spare key when I’m fighting Kalameet I just have to die 🤷🏻‍♀ (true story btw)

I haven’t really played anything the past week, beyond playtesting changes I’m making to the TALKER mod for STALKER: Anomaly (the mod using AI to let you talk to NPCs). This little project has grown considerably and I have a lot of writing left to do before it’s fully ready I think. But early signs are positive. I also have some more prompt engineering to do. I’m getting much better and more interesting responses from NPCs now than with the base mod - which had extremely basic and barebones instructions for the LLM.

Do u guys know MK rewind? Its a modded Wii Version and awesome. It has its own Multiplayer and a ton of new maps/old ported maps.

It’s the first I’m hearing of it but it sounds interesting. I usually take issue with my Mario Kart games having too many tracks (I find people usually pick 1 favorite and spam that when there’s too many plus just makes a decision hard and overwhelming), but i do think that’d be interesting to have all those tracks ported

I’ve not played a newer or older Mario Kart game with better fundamentals. I’d like more tracks for it but other than that it’s perfect. The newer ones are pretty but there’s too much going on in many of the tracks (and I’m really not fond of the flying/water thing they do either).

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Spaghetti Kart (The Recompilation I play on) has a Track Maker i think and i believe you can share tracks between players, but i’m not sure how good any of the custom tracks are.

The newer ones are pretty but there’s too much going on in many of the tracks (and I’m really not fond of the flying/water thing they do either).

I do agree though about the newer ones, it has way too much going on in the courses. Furthermore, Me and My friends are in disagreement but i think the roster is too big and there’s too many tracks

Flamekebab,

Eventually I plan on playing Spaghetti Kart - partly for that reason!

I would agree that the sprawling roster and tracklist are a bit much.

Arc Raiders

It runs perfectly on Linux and I’m having a great time with it. I’ve only played a couple of extraction shooters before (Call of Duty DMZ, The Circle) and they were generally very hostile, this game is definitely much more reasonable.

Actually my biggest issue is probably The Arc as opposed to the other players, the AI is super aggressive and will chase you down, if you survive it can be quite exciting, but sometimes it feels really cheap, especially when a Rocketeer blasts you in the first 5 minutes.

Goodeye8,

I’ve been hooked on ARC raiders since it launched. I’ve done all the quests, I’ve done all upgrade, I’ve done the expedition prep (to the point it can be done), I’ve finished the raider deck. The only things left to do are the trials but even when I’ve more or less cleared the weekly trials I’m still playing the game. It’s just so compelling.

The ARCs demand respect. They’re so dangerous sometimes the best option is to not even fight them. That is especially true for bigger ARCs because you have to prepare to fight them. Whenever one of the bigger ARCs notice me and I’m not prepared to fight them I’m booking it into the first closed space I can get because if you don’t break line of sight you’re going to have a bad day. So my advice is avoid avoid avoid until you’ve come prepared to take one down. Once you get more comfortable with fighting ARC other players become far more dangerous than ARC.

100% one of my favorites of all time. Newer Mario Kart iterations never quite hit that same vein of fun, though I could never figure out why. Probably something to do with it being a formative part of my childhood?

Also, my best racer was always Bowser: slow acceleration, but could make everyone spin out at a glancing blow was my way of winning 😂

I think Mario Kart 64 is honestly just very foundational of a Mario Kart. Besides the controls being iffy, it really just plays well, has solid all around courses, music, and a nice selection of characters. Plus it’s where we see a lot of the modern powerups i think

mika_mika, do games w Day 494 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Mario Kart 64 is unplayable to me after how much better and intuitively the Karts control in newer games.

I have fond memories of smacking my brother’s controller out of his hand for blue shelling me though.

Fair enough. The drift on MK64, love it as i do, is abysmal

Mostly Star Citizen with my buddies, with some Rimworld, Oblivion Remaster, and M&B: Bannerlord when by myself.

Spending most of my time split between Battlefield 6 and Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader.

This is why i like the FF7 remakes because they’re more than just retreading the same steps and story. At face value they are but if you have played the original you’ll soon notice that there’s something going on with the story that kind of makes it more of a sequel, rather than a “remake”.

The naughty dog kind are the worst in my opinion. A waste of time, money and talent. If you’re going to remake a game now, I want something that makes it worth playing whilst not replacing the original. The only way I think I’d be mostly okay with a remake replacing an original is if they’re remaking a shit game to make it good, but they never do that.

They remade Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing. So it has happened once. Kinda. They just forgot to make it good. It’s still just as bad.

MBech, do gaming w We don't have to make it complicated

Okay, I hear you, but let me counter: Diablo 2 Resurected.

Best remake ever.

tio_bira,

I could argue with Final Fantasy III remake

Iunnrais,

To each their own, but I’m perfectly happy with romhacks and emulation for that. I like the original pixel art/animation, hacks can get me orchestral sound tracks, bug fixes, and rebalancing.

tio_bira,

But the remake even improve the story, instead 4 generic orphans, we get every character a personality and a origin

Until you want to play with your buddies over LAN. And we would have gotten it if it wasn’t for those meddling suits.

Thankfully D2RLAN exists.

altkey,

Yeah, it’s neat. At the very least it behaves like a normal modern window. Original d2 has big problems with a monopolitic behavior over your screen estate while being 4:3.

Another counterpoint is Nier, where gameplay became more smooth and story additions made it worth another whole run. Character designs changed, that expectedly caused some drama, but having almost-unheard of prequel of Automata being there accessible to new audiences with new lore for old souls to is a win-win situation. Rare games made me not question preorder or first day purchase.

I play PEAK with friends and Oxygen Not Included when alone. Also some Dispatch

verdi, do games w One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4

These games feel like they were made for people 30y old than I am. The writing is atrocious…

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

because old people like atrocious writing?

verdi,

When you’re 80, your patience isn’t what it used to be 😏

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

that would mean they should have less tolerance for atrocious writing.

verdi,

That assumes an equal proclivity and competence for reading, which is manifestly not the case…

prole,

That’s weird since the last comment I read said they were 36 and felt it was for people 20 years younger than them.

verdi,

20 and 80 seems about the right parallel, they both vote for fascists in droves so it kinda checks out. I’d wager the level of idiocy is neck and neck.
