Medieval 2 Total War. It’s the best Total War game and one of the oldest. It has a basic campaign map where you create and manage armies which you then use to go into a real time battle with thousands of units. There is nothing as satisfying as routing the enemy with a massive cavalry charge into the rear when they’re in hand to hand infantry combat.
The SBS video requires VR/XR glasses and either a mode that forces SBS or a special player because you didn’t upload it to YouTube with the metadata for YouTube to recognize it as 3D: support.google.com/youtube/answer/7278886
That is interesting. Do I understand this correct that it has to be SBS left/right for this to work? I read conflicting reports on this.
Thing is my glasses need right/left and most of what’s on YT does simply not work when I just go fullscreen with SBS enabled so I have to drag it out of YT first and run it through Bino (or use ffplay with stereo3d filter) to “fix” this again.
This looks like if I want to make it convenient for VR I make it inconvenient for XR glasses users like XREAL and Viture users. I’m highly confused.
Oh and what about h265 or V1? The example only suggests h264:
I haven’t seen Halo Wars mentioned yet so I’ll nominate those games. Both 1 and 2 are insanely fun and they control surprisingly well on Xbox if you dont have access to a PC. I’ve put a couple hundred hours into both games on both Xbox and PC, but I do prefer M&KB controls even if it works very well with a controller.
Cutscenes are fucking awesome in both games as well!
Another game I’d like to bring up is Stellaris. If you’re a sci-fi fan and like 4X strategy games then I can’t recommend this game enough. I’ve put 630 hours into the game since I got it back in 2019, being able to role play a custom or sci-fi inspired empire is great. If the amount of DLC puts you off, then look up cream.api. Getting them for “free” is easy.
You should be able to tweak fov in the graphics config inside appdata_local_frontier developments.
Also the game has an issue with world scale for VR. You have to tweak it in steamvr. You’ll feel too large for the world around you. I.e. your character’s body looks too small
Think I got the aspect ratio somewhat under control. It’s not perfect but much better. At this point I think it’s simply a bug of EliteDangerous. It’s like the HUD doesn’t get the rescaling memo after the intro played.
The settings make no sense to me but I can live with that. SBS (right/left side) images attached. The HUD is now at least readable and not squished too much.
To część fedi, tak jak możesz obserwować z mastodona treść ze szmeru, tak możesz i z pixelfeda i wchodzić z nią w interakcję. Chyba, że zamierzasz publikować masowo zdjęcia/obrazki, to może wtedy jest sens.
I’m going through the N64 catalogue on the Switch and really enjoyed finally finishing the 3D Zeldas and, of course, Banjo Kazooie. The second part is on my list next, followed by the big Zelda title on the SNES. Looking forward to playing those :)
I played it on the SNES. It’s a sci-fi platformer that I felt shared themes with movies like Total Recall, They Live, Blade Runner, Running Man.
You start as Conrad, who has crash landed on Titan, being chased by mysterious bad guys, and with no memory of why. All you have is a gun, and a video recording of yourself telling you where to go for the next clue.
Can we consider the PS3 Retro at 17? If so i’d have to say Uncharted and Little Big Planet. I keep my Childhood Copies out just to play them.
If i need to go further back i’d have to side with Ocarina of Time. It’s such a basic Zelda story with it’s Arthurian lore and dungeons, but it’s like the cornerstone Zelda game for me. Mario 64 while im at it
so for something completely different and focusing solely on the “size” aspect:
the biggest, that i am aware of, game in terms of sheer SIZE involved, is Stellaris:
it’s a paradox grand strategy game, not first person at all, so completely different from the other recommendations and probably nothing to do with what you asked for…but if you want something truly MASSIVE…well…can’t go much larger than galaxy spanning all out war involving gigantic fleets and armies!
so if power fantasies is something you’re interested in, maybe take a look! it’s pretty easy to get into, but has a lot of depth (but no requirement) to master later on! and it has a lot of settings regarding game speed and difficulty to tailor it to your tastes.
and mods, god help me, the mods; play a couple hours to get to know the game, then definitely get Gigastructural Engineering from the workshop. short list of ridiculous engineering:
Attack Moons
Behemoth Planetcraft
Neutronstar Gigaforge
Matryoshka Brain
and a bunch, even more ridiculously huge projects!
(sidenote: the new DLC subscription on steam is…kinda worth it honestly. not the worst idea, especially to just try it out for a couple hours. i was extremely skeptical, but it’s kinda, surprisingly, less predatory than the previous “we’ll release 2 20$ DLCs, and 1 30/40$ DLC per year” model…)
