Theres a shitty flash game i spent years playing that ill never find again. Top down worms game very similar to vampire survivors in gameplay, only many years before it.
If you want a dark game with puzzle style combat and bosses, I can’t recommend a plague tale enough. Innocence is the first one, Requiem is the second one.
I believe I have tried it. Until the first boss, where I was forced to run around him and try to dismantle his armour piece by piece with a sling and stones. Of course he caught me while having the last piece of armour on. Uninstalled and never even considered giving it a second chance.
I hated black myth wukong and elden ring boss fights, so punishing games really aren’t for me. I finished both plague tale games, though. I usually lower the difficulty quite a bit just to enjoy the story, so maybe the defaults are harder than what I experienced.
I’m looking for the name of the 3D racing game my classmates used to play on the school club PC. It came out in the 2000s and ran natively on Windows. The first track in the career mode (as far as we ever got) was dirt and inside an nighttime arena. There were crowds and even some onlookers behind barricade blocks around the track. I don’t think the cars could be damaged, and there were intended jumps over lower tracks sections, that could be enjoyed by driving from below to jump really high. Several views were available including one with a rear-view mirror, and a “blimp” aerial view in replay mode. It looked a lot like the nighttime arena tracks in ATV Offroad Fury (pictured) but with closed-cab vehicles. https://www.gamegrin.com/assets/game/atv-off-road-fury-4/screenshots/atv-off-road-fury-4-screenshots-45.jpg
I went down a retro pc gaming rabbit hole a while ago. It was the one game I couldn’t get working on my machine. Feels good that something useful came out of it
I grew up playing a very specific Minecraft trial world. You spawn on a beach with a single tree. Immediately inland was a large plains biome, but about 100 blocks to the side was an oak forest. In there (still visible from spawn), was a single large hill with a small cave in it which poked though it and made for a good base.
I am rather confident it was a Minecraft trial edition world. I believe I reset that map several times over before discovering how to make the trial last forever. However the trial seed on the wiki does not match for any game version. (It does match a different world I remember playing at least.)
I’ve probably spent about 10 hours over the last couple years periodically going on the hunt for it, and at this point I’ll give out a small bounty for information.
It was PC. I’ve tried the PC gamer demo and the “North Carolina” seed for all probable game versions (1.3 to 1.6), and the base world generation just doesn’t match. There is a hill nearby which could be close, but the biomes are all wrong.
There is a chance, albeit not very high, that it was a cracked version of the game using a seed I simply forgot with time, but it would be quite difficult to brute force that since I would then need to figure out both the version and seed. Given I am fairly certain I generated the same world a few times, it’s possible I might be able to guess it.
A round based strategy game with a hex based grid I think there where generic military units like warships u boots pioneers infantry trucks helicopter destroyers. It had a very rudementry 8 bit graphic and it is not Panther panic
If the game wasn’t on DOS or Windows, the choice is smaller, but alas I don’t see a list on Wikipedia with platforms. MobyGames might have it. Alternatively, I had a script somewhere that pulled the platform and other info from all pages in a category, but not sure currently where it is.
I’ve played on one of the fan servers and it was fine. if XIV has burned you out, and honestly I don’t blame you, not sure you’re going to find what you’re looking for in XI.
remember XI is a pre-WoW mmo so that means it’s quite difficult when compared to modern MMOs and plays like other MMOs of the day i.e. Everquest, Anarchy Online, Ultima, etc.
You’re not going to find as many new players and other players are going to be literally years/decades ahead of you. I’d suggest you try one of the fan servers first to see if you like it before spending money on the actual servers/game.
I did play for a bit in HorizonXI and liked it, but couldn’t find many players around (which made it even grindier than it should be), which is why I was wondering about retail.
I don’t mind the difficulty, that’s kinda why I’m tired of FFXIV. Outside of the endgame “high-end” trials/raids, I find its gameplay a bit too easy to the point of being boring. The jobs in XI also look more interesting and varied, instead of FFXIV’s that feel too samey.
I have one of these! My memory is pretty hazy but he’s everything I remember about it: I played it in about 2003-04, pc rom game, point and click style where you were either trying to help find a series of items in a house or solve a mystery in a house? This was a kids game with a lot of shades of light blue if I remember correctly… Not a scary game, was in the first person, and I don’t remember being in a team of other characters. I remember renting it from my local library a hefty number of times.
I stopped playing Resident Evil 7 because I’d decided that the setting that I was on was too difficult and wanted to knock it down a level. It wouldn’t let me do that without restarting the game so I stopped playing.
I don’t understand why they made that decision at all.
Does sound like laziness. I get the impression it’s because some things change in the game depending on difficulty, like number of items, etc. So, it can’t exactly go back and turn the 3-ammo pile you picked up into 8 ammo.
I believe they could have done this between the easy and normal difficulties because there’s not much of a difference between the two other than health regen and numbers for you and the enemies. But two reasons I see that they didn’t.
Madhouse difficulty changes so much it really wouldn’t be possible for you to swap difficulties mid playthrough, so maybe they just ignored it for the other ones. Or, the reason I think is most likely, RE7 has adaptive difficulty. So even if you’re on normal and struggling, things will get nerfed or you will get buffed after dying a few times.
If you had the preorder bonus(?) it unlocks Madhouse from the start which I guess could be a trap if you’re not ready for it and pick it.
Fiddling with the script engine can lead to unexpected results.
I am a programmer myself and have an overall understanding of what can happen unintentionally. I don’t see how adding a few medkits in the inventory could lead to the boss to jump over the puddles :)
As a programmer you should know that wonky single-purpose software like a game engine may react chaotically to state changes. I wishlisted the game though.
I don’t see how adding a few medkits in the inventory could lead to the boss to jump over the puddles :)
They could be using player character state as a proxy for player skill.
A player who successfully navigated earlier changes with such competence that they have an excess of health items might appreciate a more challenging final boss.
This is me with SHMUPS. Oh, sure, I can find databases of the ones that were popular, but in the early to late 2000s there were so many PC SHMUPS with mouse controls that came on demo CDs or you could get from the front page of any demo shareware website…
Now all forgotten.
Some of them I used to play a lot and want to play again, but can’t for the life of me find back.
There was this game I swear was called Solaris but was not able to find. The whole thing is a model of a star system with a couple dozens of oddly-named planets and you need to “shoot units” at the planets you want to conquer. You basically have to estimate how many units you need to take it over or something.
I’ll probably never be able to find it cause I can’t even describe it so well haha
That’s what sprang to mind for me as well. There’s another version somewhere with viruses/bacteria where you’re in a petri dish and can find/modify your dna for better traits in certain multiplying/attack/defending strengths.
