Not all are open source, but a fair chunk are. All games on the list are free or one time payments.

taco_ballerina,

I play this game at least a couple times a week. It’s an all-time favorite!

Final Fantasy IX Remaster

  • I’ve never finished FF9 on PS1 (my optical drive died), then I got distracted playing FF9 remaster a few years earlier. Finally decided to stream the game with a guide
  • The battle is slow, even with fast forward, the animation seems to be slower than FF8 or FF7
  • The fast forward in this remaster is not implemented as good as FF8 remaster’s.
    • It’s only either 1x or 4x speed
    • If you started the fast forward and forgot to turn it off before a cutscene, then the cutscene will play at 4x without any way to reset the speed.
  • Despite all that, I am enjoying the game, characters are likable. I’m currently at Disc 2, after the Clerya section

Resident Evil Remake

  • Again, I’m following a guide to get unlimited rocket launcher. I really dislike that 3 hour time limit. Or maybe I just really dislike time limit in games.
  • I’m not into survival horror, but I enjoy the shooting / action part of Resident Evil
  • So far, not enjoying it, since I’m just kiting zombies, skipping cutscenes, etc. My aim is to get unlimited ammo, then finally play both Chris and Jill sections without the ammo, and in some ways, inventory constraints.
nutbutter, do piracy w Youtube - like apps like piped.video, but as Android app?

I am amazed why no one has said Clipious.

It uses Invidious instances, and if you enable the proxy option, Google won’t even get to know your IP address, which is not the case with apps like LibreTube and NewPipe.

gunpachi, (edited ) do piracy w Youtube - like apps like piped.video, but as Android app?

Libretube is what you are looking for. It uses piped api. It’s also available on F-droid.

Newpipe or Newpipe X Sponsorblock is also a good option.

Blizzard,

Newpipe X Sponsorblock

Wow, this is great. Are there any downsides of using this vs using regular NewPipe? Like updates delays etc.?

Quereller,
@Quereller@lemmy.one avatar

Delay is usually 1-2 days. You can have both installed in parallel.

Leax, do gaming w Anybody else in love with the base-control gameplay loop of the middle Far Cry games?

A good post reminding me why I love Far Cry games! I got bored playing FarCry 5, but had lot of fun on FarCry 6. Unfortunately the bases were a bit too easy in that game…

bermuda,

I heard Far Cry 6 changed a lot which is why I’ve been hesitant to give it a shot.

Leax,

I think you should! I loved coming back to a tropical island, with the Cuban inspiration.

transientDCer,

I enjoyed 3-5 and also really enjoyed 6, I think you might like it.

Mostly waiting for Lies Of P to land in a day or two. I have spent more time with Starfield, but as I mentioned in a previous comment, I think I’m reaching the end of my time with that one.

I don’t think it’s ‘bad’, but I do think it’s a severely compromised game that underwhelms more than it should for a game of it’s budget and the team behind it. There’s moments where you can see so much potential but it is always somewhat hidden by this mid 2000s design that I thought we’d moved past.

Check out Like Stories of Old and Joseph Anderson, although the latter haven’t posted anything in a long time…

Not games but In Deep Geek does great lore videos on lord of the rings/game of thrones/some other stuff. Also a little dry but great to listen to for background listening.

currently going back through Paper Mario - The Thousand Year Door, haven’t played it since I was a kid and never finished it

Are you going to play the remake?

I just started the first Paper Mario (N64 one, on NSO), and I am enjoying it a lot.

Callie,
@Callie@pawb.social avatar

Remake doesn’t come out until next year, I’m playing through the game on an emulator currently

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I was just wondering if you are interested in the remake, as they didn’t mention any changes, so it’s going to be the same game just prettier.

Callie, (edited )
@Callie@pawb.social avatar

Oh I’m, sorry I misread the original comment >w<

Yeah, I’m still going to play the remake when it comes out even if it’s the exact same game, cause having and HD and wide screen version I can play on the go would be fantastic. but also just playing in bed would be a lot more comfortable than sitting at a desk to play

Huh didn’t really follow the game, but it’s nice to see the twink dark souls getting some good reviews.

I’ve just finished Ghost trick this week (I can recommend it if you are hesitant). 😎

Right now I’m few hours into Sea of stars, beautiful looking game, reminds me to golden sun a lot, hope it continues at this level.

When I get a break my partner steals the Switch and plays Shotgun king… I think he got very addicted to that one, if there would be a mobile phone version I’d definitely buy it for him 😄

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Ghost trick is on my wish list. Thanks for the recommendation.

I have heard great things about Sea of Stars, and it has got rave reviews, so don’t worry about it.

Shotgun King looks really fun. Is there any kind of campaign in it or is it just endless runs?

chiwiu,
@chiwiu@lemmy.world avatar

Shotgun king has a “throne mode” where you need to pass 12 levels on a row to get some sort of ending. But to be honest it does not have a lot of story, so you can count it as endless run as well. It’s more the way of playing, where each level you pass you get to choose two random modifiers (good and bad) for the following level.

You also get additional weapons and modifiers each time you get to the ending and we haven’t yet seen all, so it has reply value and maybe an extra ending 🤷‍♀️

EquipLordBritish, do gaming w What's your favorite example of developer's foresight?

Funny that they thought of that, but then slipped up that you could become archmage before you have to ask the archmage for help. But there’s no dialogue for the quest if you are the archmage. So if you progress in the wrong order, you get stuck in the main quest.

They may have fixed it since, but that was a huge error.

Pssk, (edited ) do piracy w Which cracks and repacs works best on linux?
@Pssk@lemmy.ml avatar

You can find games like this one in rutracker which require no installation, decompression or dwarfs thing, only the files. Just like what you’d have after installing a repack

EuroNutellaMan,

Semi-related but do you happen to know where I can find the guide to rutracker?

Pssk, (edited )
@Pssk@lemmy.ml avatar

It is not fully private. You can browse without an account but cant use the site’s search. If you don’t want to create an account you can use a search engine like duckduckgo like adding site:rutracker.org to your query

EuroNutellaMan, (edited )

No I mean there was a guide on how to use rutracker or something

EDIT: Turns out it has been deleted, at least the one I found in the past

OverfedRaccoon, (edited ) do piracy w What are the best alternatives to The Pirate Bay in 2023?

I like sites that are aggregators of content (no one site, necessarily). I think the best move is to find release groups you like the quality of and trust. From there, find out where they upload. I was a big fan of RARBG remuxes (x265) and RARBG-affiliated TV release groups, so it took a bit to find acceptable and consistent replacements. It’s worth the effort.

Junkernaught,

Who did you replace them with?

OverfedRaccoon,

For movies, PSA slotted right in the quality/size hole RARBG left for x265 movies. There’s groups with better quality at higher filesizes (like QxR), but the ~2GB 1080p stuff PSA puts out suits my needs well.

TV is a little eh. XEN0N is where I ended up, but definitely isn’t on par with ION10/ION265. I haven’t found a great catch-all replacement. But I haven’t had to grab a ton of TV lately, to be honest.

Junkernaught,

Thank you!

Varsico,

You’d probably like Pahe.in releases, I also landed on PSA (I use it for both movies & tv) and Pahe is pretty close to it in quality/size. Pahe doesn’t have torrents tho, but I think their GDrive and Mega links are pretty easy to get to; compared to some of PSA’s direct downloads you only need one real countdown and less than 10 clicks to get the file
