tkk13909, do gaming w Responsible Adult say no to Store Exclusive.

“steal”

PineRune,

Stealing implies a transfer of ownership. Downloading a “COPY” of a digital game only infringes on a copyright or licence or whatever the multi-million dollar company wants to claim it has.

If you don’t own the game by purchasing it, then it’s not stealing if you pirate it.

MudMan,

I am, again, mostly fine with that.

As long as that means you don't pirate anything that has a physical version or is on GOG.

I mean, that's not entirely true, my views on piracy are more nuanced than that, but in terms of how much I can stand behind that line as an argument.

RightHandOfIkaros,

I am mostly fine with that.

As long as that means the games I buy physical are still manufactured and sold by the publisher and not Joe Bloe on eBay for a 900% “rare retro game” mark-up.

MudMan,

Yeah, see, that's why my take on piracy is more nuanced than that.

Copyright is weird and broken, digital commerce is weird and broken and certainly the retro physical games market is weird and broken. There are ways in which that slogan works and ways it breaks, both in the direction of being pro and anti-piracy.

But that's a legitimately tough conversation with a ton of nuance and big implications that goes way past the other "Epic bad" nonsense.

Venator,

Maybe he’s gonna break into the publishers office and steal the master copy 🤣

slackassassin,

For real, though. Pirate all you want, but enough with the ignorant platitudes. For fucks sake.

tehmics,

Be careful if you value your time

Starrifier,

Best money I’ve ever spent on an app. When you break down how much time I’ve spent playing it, $10 is a steal.

Maggoty, do games w What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?

Doki Doki should be 90% blind. Players need to understand they’re going into a horror game.

But I’ll also add one, Detroit: Become Human. While it’s based on replaying it a massive number of times, going in blind makes the story a lot better.

ZC3rr0r,

David Cage gets lots of shit for his games, but If you experience them blind without spoilers ahead of time I find they’re pretty good interactive movies.

TastyWheat,

My gf watched me play through all of Detroit, and then started to wonder “what would happen if x didn’t y?” Aaaand rabbit hole time.

Hollow knight. The exploration of that game is absolutely the pinnacle of world layouts

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

And probably Tears of the Kingdom too but I haven’t played it yet.

SandLight,

If you’ve played botw, you basically can’t play totk blind by the nature of the games’ similarities

knexcar,

I can at least try to wait a few years to forget as much as possible.

Sounds like you’re over saturated and need a break from gaming. Happens to a lot of us.Try not gaming at all for like 2-3 months. It’ll feel fresher afterwards

Passerby6497, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?

The only thing I care about on the store right now is the factorio dlc, and that’s never gonna go on sale. I’ll probably buy that once I finish all the achievements for satisfactory.

I can only recommend it. After about 60 hours I finally landed on vulcanus and I’m now experiencing the feeling of how it is to getting used to all of these long and complex Ressource chains.

Socket462,

After 60 hours I finally left Gleba. As soon as I got “home” had to head back to Gleba. Still stuck there. In the beginning I hate Gleba, now I love it. It gave me back the feeling of playing Factorio for the first time, running around and know nothing (and I I have over 3.5k hours). 10/10 would recommend the DLC.

AngryCommieKender, (edited )

After 200 hours I have a “factory” on Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Gleba. I need to redesign all four factories, including Nauvis, at this point to use Foundries, and Electromagnetic Plants at scale, oh and Biological Science Labs. I have finally started learning circuit networks and train scheduling.

I had over 3000 hours in the game previously, got all the achievements that didn’t require a time limit, and had beaten Pyanodon, SeaBlock, Bob’s and Angel’s overhaul, and several other overhaul mods that I don’t remember, but I never managed to fully finish Space Exploration because of randomly generated items, and a complete inability to comprehend how the old circuit network worked.

Space Age is absolutely the best of all the overhaul mods combined into one single expansion pack. I cannot wait to get to the Shattered Planet and find out what no one has shown yet. I’ll be weeks behind them when I get there, I’m sure

AngryCommieKender,

Get it as soon as you can afford it. As you have already noticed, the price only goes up, and it never goes on sale. The people that made this game know that they made digital crack, and aren’t inclined to spread the addiction.

Aielman15, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Not on steam, but I bought Haven and The Talos Principle 2 on GoG.

I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it’s very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I’m eager to play the sequel.

@inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

I played Talos principal 2 this year and it honestly blew me away. It goes without saying the puzzles were intriguing but the story, world building, atmosphere and dialogue are the real stars of the experience.

BruceTwarzen, do games w Greatest video game ever played?

What a lazy ass question

Kelly,

Agreed, without better defined scope the question is just asking for:

en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_video_games_considered…

Its a fun read but its already available.

Aermis,

Man why is did the list go so thin in the later years? Straight up nothing for 2021?

Kelly,

The criteria for inclusion:

The games listed here are included on at least six separate “best/greatest of all time” lists from different publications (inclusive of all time periods, platforms, and genres), as chosen by their editorial staffs.

This excludes every new title until six publications update their list. Then of course the title has to be good enough to be included on those lists.

Aermis,

Oh. Maybe if I read the criteria of being on that list before just indulging in it I would have understood. Thanks.

Defaced,

Damn 2004 was a banger of a year for video games.

Aermis,

The year of half life 2

grandel,

thingsiplay, do gaming w Fallout London is a better game than Fallout 4

If DLCs can be Game of the Year, then Mods should be too.

@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

You know what, I agree. And I would love to see the look on Todd Howard’s face if Fallout: London wins GotY. It should be eligible for that reason alone.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

I think he would be pretty happy, since it would mean more sales of Fallout 4 when all the new people show up to play London. Like how Bohemia Interactive leaned into DayZ because it was causing a huge uptick in sales of ARMA 2 before they made it standalone.
