idk why but nothing beats trackmania for me in racing games

It’s AG racers I keep coming back to, myself. (BallisticNG)

I enjoy trackmania a ton, but everytime I play I get such a dirty feeling after about a week.

Ubisoft really ruined it with TM20. I miss the sound and aesthetic of Turbo, that’s where it peaked for me (though I’ll admit some of the tracks produced by the community in TM20 are art)

Solrac,

I’ve hard of BallisticNG (and Beamdrive, was it) How are they? In contrast, I’ve only ever enjoyed arcade racers (lately Sonic Crossword and Burnout)

BallisticNG and BeamNG are completely unrelated.

The former is an EXTREMELY faithful re-creationg of WipEout physics (both ps1 and ps3/4 era games, depending on mode), but with support for mods and community-made tracks.

If you haven’t played WipEout, the controls involve four axes of analogue input. Pitch, craft tilt, as well as left and right air-brakes. The fastest way around a track requires extreme precision and a bit of luck.

In addition, weaponry is allowed and you must manage your energy (which is both your health and boost-fuel).

stealth_cookies,

Agreed, no matter what comes out Trackmania is the game that has me coming back day after day.

I love MKWii and the mods for it, but god does the game have the worst item balancing in the series. The AIs are all constantly spamming POW Blocks and Blue Shells, which often get rid of your item right as a Red Shell or two are headed your way. There’s no invincibility buffer after getting hit by the Blue Shell either, so you get hit by the Reds too. The fact the Blue Shell instantly stops you in place while sending you flying upwards instead of sending you flying forwards like in other Mario Karts means it’s an even worse time loss. And it’s not uncommon to get hit by multiple in one lap.

Still my favourite Mario Kart, just very frustrating sometimes.

Definitely, the item balancing is funny until you’re on the receiving end.

I’ve been trying to thrive in Vintage Story, so far it’s been kicking my ass the entire time (late bronze age) - I’ve got a friend hyped for Hytale, I’m hoping I can convince him to give VS a try too/instead…

I’m having fun getting my ass kicked on Hell Let Loose. Really enjoying walking for several minutes and then just dying without ever seeing the enemy.

Pechente,

One of my absolute favorite games despite the many frustrating moments. I hope you‘ll stick with it. The fun increases significantly once you get the hang of it.

Megaman_EXE,

I tried this a few years back, and while I enjoyed the concept on paper, in actual practice, I found it frustrating.

The main issue is I have no idea if someone is cheating. As much as something like a kill cam would ruin the immersion, it also would give me reassurance to know that the game is still fair.

I want to give it another shot one day and just try to accept that I have no idea if people are playing fairly lol.

Just recently got Sonic Lost World’s installed on my steam deck with mods to make movement bearable and add the exclusive DLC.

Also still slowly grinding my way through Toon Town Rewritten. I’m currently at around maybe 22 laff points and am a few quests away from unlocking my 3rd gag.

This is a great iteration of Kart!

chunes, do games w This, a pen, and coffee

That looks so much better than I remember.

Maybe I’m just tired of modern, overly-processed graphics. There’s a certain clarity to this era of graphics that’s hard to pinpoint.

biggeoff,

Pretty sure this is the remaster. Very enjoyable trip down memory lane!

shiroininja,

Yeah it looks good without mods. I’ve never modded oblivion because I never felt a need to.

I find it cool that you have such a solid group of friends to game with, it looks like you guys have tons of fun! ( I’m envious). Some 14 years ago, when I got casually into gaming; my crowd were mostly just drinking buddies, so sadly that didn’t stand the test of time…

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m thankful to have them to play games with. We all went to highschool and when me and my best friend were doing our Halo 2 Legendary run and about to move onto 3 we mentioned it to one of our other friends and they offered to join for 3. Then the 4th guy joined and by then we had kind of gotten a group together. I’m glad we were able to reconnect in that way

I am sure anyone who played Tears of the Kingdom did that at some point, but there are those koroks little guys you’re supposed to guide to their destination, generally by designing machines to carry them there.

Of course instead you just strap them to the most absurd rocket powered contraptions and play Korok Space Program.

I played so much pong in commander keen 4.

The real game was too hard!

How about no. This reaks of LLM vibe coded bullshit. Why would I want to play a game when the html inspector shows up code comments like

Infection on Zealot has to be one of the best times in Reach PvP. Your Reach posts have made me very nostalgic, but this one might take the cake. Good job.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

zealot feels perfect for Infection. I’m not sure if it’s the right corridors or what but it feels like the Infection map

BurntWits,
@BurntWits@sh.itjust.works avatar

Absolutely. I also loved infection on that one map that’s in the same world as the forge map, it’s like a floating level over water. Can’t remember the name now, it’s been years. Then there’s also a good one that’s all indoors, sort of a fancy human building, maybe corporate or hotel originally, I can’t remember now.

Then Alexandria was awesome, there was a super cheesy spot you could get to there. Oh and then there was an outdoors map with sort of a circular building in the middle of the map, that was great for infection too. Oh and then another indoor one, all grey walls, small outdoor area where you could fall to your death.

Now that I think of it, I think I just loved that game altogether. Damn now I’m nostalgic.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

The forge based maps have some really solid ones. There’s one called Asylum (I think?) that I like to play Slayer on. it’s got like this little tower in the center with bridges connecting it too two other platforms.

BurntWits,
@BurntWits@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah that name sounds familiar. If it’s what I’m thinking it is, that was a favourite of mine for a bunch of game modes.
