I used to play Jet Moto solely to do tricks. I remember there being level geometry that could send you hundreds of feet in the air.

Most games I play that I don’t plan on playing a lot of. I use trainers hacks and cheats on things I find grindy or just feels pointless. Or unnecessary hard games.

I think it’s cool. Just another Mario kart game. Updated graphics and world exploring is neat. I would be loving this game if I was 10. In my thirties? Nah. $$$

Looks like some of the biggest changes the series has ever seen. I’m excited for it, but like many others, not excited enough for the price they are asking right now.

Then don’t buy it. Buying it tells them it’s ok to keep raising prices.

AllTheKarma,

You can’t expect prices to never increase. That’s not realistic. It sounds like small budget or free games are more your speed.

You Nintendo shills are hilarious. Have fun shelling out premium prices for out of date tech.

AllTheKarma,

Lol! I’m not a Nintendo shill. I rarely play Nintendo. Priorities change in life and that means sometimes changing up how you do things. The Switch 2 fits into my family picture.

It just sounds like you’re a broke little boy that can’t afford to play video games anymore. You could always save for a few months. Maybe find a better job that pays more? Be better professionally.

I haven’t played it in 15 years or so, but I think it wasn’t open-world?

Jumi,

That’s true, I missed that

GunValkyrie,

Mirrors edge catalyst then.

JakenVeina, do games w Silksong announced for 2025 on the Nintendo Direct

Yeah, just like it was announced for 2023 in that one XBox showcase.

I’ll believe it when I’m playing it.

jacksilver, do games w What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?

Not sure if it counts as open world, but a souls-like platformer with some great movement is Blue Fire

I personally can’t wait. I have an OLED and MK8D but just didn’t play it enough due to life getting in the way. This has me beyond excited to play it. It’ll be nice to get into a game with my fiance from the start especially because she plays basically only animal crossing.

I’m pretty excited for it I enjoy Mario Kart games,I don’t play/like any other type of racing games so being able to drive to the next course is new to me and looks kinda fun.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I really hate the new art style. Everything looks like plastic and has absolutely zero charm. It was totally possible for them to bring the same style and character of the original to 3D, but instead they chose to abandon it.

Also, I’m not sure what benefits going 3D has anyway. In the teaser it looked like a fixed camera, so what’s the point of 3D if it doesn’t change up the core gameplay?

Dying Light had a mediocre story and repetitive gameplay, but the parkour mechanic was what made it interesting in the long run. Jumping around and climbing stuff was so satisfying.

As for side scrollers, Ori might not be the most difficult platformer I’ve ever played, but it certainly was the most fun, thanks in no short part to the fluid and dynamic movement of the main character. The camera is also very wide, to allow you to see the road ahead clearly, which is not something that all platformers do right, surprisingly enough.

TORFdot0, do games w Thoughts on Mario Kart World

The price is too high. They are going to sell skins and characters. The game is going to be fluffed with open world sections instead of actual content. I probably won’t enjoy it.

My kids will though

Surp, do games w GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

Making porting gog to linux a priority which has by far the smallest market share for computer gaming is the dumbest thing anyone in this thread is saying, where is that financially a viable option to cater to the tiniest percentage of gamers for gog? I know ill get downvoted but im tired of the fanatical linux posts on lemmy at this point. Get with reality they are going to work on the client where the money is most predominantly flowing from and its not linux or mac. Haters gonna hate the truth but its the truth from a business standpoint.

JustARaccoon,

While I agree, it’s also a chicken and egg problem. How can more money flow if they don’t make it easy? Even just endorsing Heroic and providing them some APIs would work

Adalast,

This is a future proofing measure. With the enshittification of Windows there is a reasonably sizable share that is looking to migrate. Making an API/front end functional on the platform is just good business. I for one will be switching 95% to Linux the instant Microsoft acts on their patant for putting a mandatory advertising ticket on the screen. Literally the only thing I will use it for is programming things for work.

DigDoug,

and its not linux or mac

Except there’s already a Mac version of GOG Galaxy.

octoblade,

With the Steam Deck getting more popular and more SteamOS handhelds on the way, it has never been a better time for game companies to support Linux. GOG does already sell some games that have Linux support, they just don’t have a convenient way to download and install them.

GOG galaxy appears to use CEF and Qt, as well as some parts (such as plugins) that use python. All of those are cross platform. So I doubt it would be incredibly difficult to port to Linux. The fact that there is already a macOS version indicates that it can be made cross platform and can run on Unix-based systems.

blind3rdeye,

Making porting gog to linux a priority which has by far the smallest market share for computer gaming is the dumbest thing anyone in this thread is saying

Building a bridge across the river is totally stupid, because no one crosses that river to get to where they are going.

Building a house on that hill is dumb, because no one lives there.

Creating that new type of device is a waste of time, because no one has ever bought one like that.

You see the point, right? Not that I’m trying to give business advice. I’m just saying that these things aren’t necessarily as stupid as you seem to think.

zalgotext,

What if most of the people that want to pay a GOG membership are Linux gamers that would be willing to pay for official Linux support?

PushButton,

Or, you know, they could make the client portable, like so many software…

A Linux or Mac client doesn’t need to be a different thing than a Windows client.

Contemporarium,

Lmao you have people seizing it’s hilarious

Zanshi,

And yet, it’s the three most upvoted community requests on gog

SolarPunker, (edited ) do games w Thoughts on Mario Kart World

It seems cute but Sonic Racing Crosswolds seems so much better!
