I’m commenting late, but there is The Precursors which does require Slavjank tolerance, but if you have it, it provides an interesting flavor on a space opera adventure.
I also haven’t tried The Tomorrow War which seemingly requires even higher Slavjank tolerance, and probably isn’t a top of all time game, but seems interesting if you like peering into strange forgotten games. Warlockracy did a video of this one.
I’ve actually heard of The Precursors before. It was featured in Tehsnakerer’s Playing series. I don’t know what my tolerance of slavjank is. I’ve played Operation Flashpoint a lot when I was a kid. Does that qualify as slavjank?
Really it just means the sorts of bugs you find with minimal QA testing combined with stilted voice acting, potentially untranslated audio or text, cultural beats that don’t quite cross over, and some game design choices that are different than how a game developed alongside western games might do things.
If you can stand this lack of polish, these sorts of games can at least give amusement for their price point.
It’s not strictly a 90s schmup but I got the original XIII (2003) on sale on GOG last month and played through it. I never played it back then and always thought it looked cool. It’s a shame it wasn’t a big success, the art direction and concept of playing in the panels of a comic strip was really cool and still holds up. I love the typed out sound effects like TAP TAP TAP on footsteps and BOOOM on explosions. So I guess that’s my retro recommendation.
Next for me will be No One Lives Forever, which I also missed back in the day but heard was amazing. It’s been unavailable to purchase for decades but I just recently found out the game is made available to download for free by some fans.
I guess I’m on a bit of an old school spy game kick lately.
XIII was (and still is) a fucking awesome game. Such a breath of fresh air back then trying something entirely new in terms of art direction on an FPS and nailing it!
[w tym zdjęciu chodzi o to, że na wykład Baumana przyszło kilkudziesięciu kibiców Śląska Wrocław i działaczy Narodowego Odrodzenia Polski i aktywnie uniemożliwiało przeprowadzenie wykładu, przez co wstąpili do sali antyterroryści]
Od mniej więcej tego czasu (wg mnie konkretnie od 11.11.2012) naziści i nacjonaliści we Wrocławiu zaczęli słabnąć.
Ten okres to był moim zdaniem szczyt ich aktywności i siły na różnych frontach.-
Would be cool if it was possible to at least resell delisted games. This way it would be possible to legally purchase a copy, just like we can do for physical media.
I’ve had a Gameboy for most of my life so I’m a sucker for portables. Donkey Kong, Oracle of Seasons, Pokemon Crystal, and Super Mario Land 2 all get replayed with some regularity. For GBA the Golden Sun games are still in my top ten favorites to this day, and the SNES ports like Link to the Past and Super Mario World were great to have in my pocket.
Nie ma i prawdopodobnie nie będzie alternatywy wobec korpomediów społecznościowych jeżeli chce się dotrzeć do większego grona osób, zwłaszcza nieprzekonanych i mających więcej niż 35 lat. A w banieczce nikomu nie chce się siedzieć, albo na 20 różnych stronach.
jeśli chodzi o płatne subskrypcje na fb - to już praca, a w pracy kalkulujesz opłacalność.
To trochę jak tłumaczyć właścicielowi np. pizzerii, że powinien otworzyć lokal tuż pod twoim domem w głębi lasu, bo Ty jesteś jego usługami zainteresowany - no spoko, ale z ciebie jednego się nie utrzyma, więc będzie się trzymał tej pizzerii w mieście nawet, jeśli miasta nie lubi
Tzw. treści sponsorowane. Płacisz jakąś kwotę i wtedy post się pokazuje większej grupie osób, również nieobserwujących twojej strony na podstawie danych demograficznych (płeć, wiek, wykształcenie, lokalizacja), zainteresowań czy nawet jakichś informacji typu zachowania konsumenckie.
I would love to be able to gift my unplayed games to others.
I guess you do get into a problem where a group of people might swap the game back and forth to avoid ever having to pay for the game. But people will abuse any system, so I guess that would just be a cost of it
If a game is still within the refund window, then maybe it should have an option to gift it. The devs / publishers could keep their money and Steam doesn’t have to process a refund. Seems like a win-win
