I like her character and I’ve only had the chance to watch gameplay videos online.

The games are available for free on NOLF revival if you want to play. Nobody knows who owns the IP so there is nobody enforcing the copyright.

The setting, theme and writing is really fun but the gameplay really hasn’t aged well.

Nefara,

She got an honorable mention from me in my post. She was a lot of fun to play as and the game would not have been the same with any other MC.

KokoSabreScruffy, do games w Space battle games for casual player?

If you want bigger ships than fighters:

Rebel Galaxy(its completely different compared to RG Outlaw) - big ships, can hire a single mercenary, combat for you happens in 2D and its more of naval style with broadsides and automated turrets.

Between the Stars - you have a spaceship with a crew and can also hire 2 more ships to help you out(once you gear them), game got plenty of quests with some puzzles to boat, “ground combat” which is using dice(or can be disabled completely) and space combat takes a bit to get used to.

+1 for Rebel Galaxy.

It came out a few years ago but it’s still a really good game that I’ll pick up every now and then. The combat is surprisingly good for a space game that’s on a 2d plane.

Completely offline which is nice also.

Damage,

+2
It’s also got a badass soundtrack

rozodru,
@rozodru@piefed.social avatar

yes! believe it or not most of the music in the game is also copyright free music. like “Evil Ways” for example which was also the theme song for professional wrestler AJ Styles when he was in TNA.

halfsalesman, do gaming w Game balance

I hate loud stupid people influencing game balance so fucking much.

I’m glad I don’t play PVP games anymore.

If I ever get back into game dev though and make a multiplayer game…

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world avatar

It sadly happens in single player games too... People complain loudly that parts are too hard, then the devs put out nerfs in response.

A significant number of legendary bosses from the arcade and cartridge era are probably only famous because they were dialed up too hard and couldn't be tweaked after release, and I think it's more memorable that way.

Drewmeister, do gaming w What's the state of Linux gaming with Proton?

Some things I wasn’t told ahead of time but wish I had been:

  1. Your particular gfx card might have issues with your Linux distro. Save yourself a lot of troubleshooting and research ahead of time which distros are more likely to work out of the box with your card. After I started over and switched to PopOS for Nvidia, my life has been a lot easier.
  2. There is a fork of Proton called Proton-GE made by some dude with the moniker GloriousEggroll. It includes more features than base Proton like the ability to play more cutscenes and various graphical updates. For my build, it was essentially required.
  3. Just another note. Steam is great; for everything else there’s Heroic launcher. It’ll launch Gog, Epic… The non-steam launchers. And you can choose your compatibility layer, so if you install Steam first, it’ll default to Proton.

Annnnnnd now I miss playing Tribes.

Godort, do games w Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

God Hand is probably the most underrated game on the platform. Dont let the visuals or the crass humor turn you off. It’s made by Clover (the same devs behind Okami and Viewtiful Joe) and is mechanically deep to an absurd degree. Easily the best beat-em-up on the console.

FalseTautology, do games w Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations)

Are there even mods and where are they?

viral.vegabond,

Yes, there is actually quite a few so far! Check out https://thunderstore.io/c/hollow-knight-silksong/?ordering=top-rated

There is another popular mod hosting website too, which may have more options to choose from, but I hesitate to recommend it due to the general controversy I’ve seen as of late.

FalseTautology,

Is it a nexus of sorts?

belluck,

I mean, they host mods and have a mod manager. If you’ll call that a „Nexus“, then sure. I personally find it better than Nexus because you can do pretty much everything from within their mod manager (including editing config files) and they don’t lock anything behind a premium subscription, but they don’t support any AAA games.

Nah, we killed him. Got the purple loot and everything.

clair obscur expedition 33 players after every cut scene

PieMePlenty,

Is the game really this good? Ive heard so much praise through comments like yours now that I’m probably going to have to just try it at this point. Winter sale, probably biting the bullet.

spoke0thedevil,

The game was indeed that good. The combat is fun and she story is amazing.

Mendas,

They really figured out the pacing there. The times at the camp were so good not only for the characters to reflect but for the players as well.

Underwaterbob, do gaming w What game changed your life?

One that should get way more attention: Little King’s Story. It presents as a cutsie Pikmin-like, but is actually a dark, metaphorical tale about abuse and trauma.

Most recently, the final choice in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 gutted me.

PKscope,
@PKscope@lemmy.world avatar

Expedition 33 is my answer for sure. That game consumed me.

fading_person,

I mustbe weird, because I see people talking so good about expedition 33, but my experience with it was so terrible, that I had to force myself to finish it, but only because I feel uneasy if I don’t do things until the end.

PKscope,
@PKscope@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, different strokes and all that. Not every game lands with everyone and it wouldn’t be art if it did.

It was truly special to me and I still think about it often months later. I still listen to the OST while studying.

It’s perfectly fine to not connect with it. Doesn’t make it bad or make you wrong. I don’t like lots of stuff that others seem wild about. It’s fine.

fading_person,

Thanks for your words. Anyway, the ost really was great, that part is incontestable

Underwaterbob,

I had a few speedbumps along the way. Gestral beaches were infuriating until I found out if you limit the frame rate to 30 FPS, they get much easier. Same with the parrying mechanics in combat to some degree, though they are easy enough in 60 FPS. Seems like they designed the game for 30 FPS and things get borked when upped to 60. It might be fixed by now, I haven’t played in some time.

fading_person, (edited )

My bad experience was mostly from feeling that things were too repetitive, and that the story started to feel bad written in mid game and got messier and messier as the game advanced further.

In the combat aspects, I felt like character builds and overall strategy were worthless because I could just dodge everything and be invincible.

Also, I didn’t really like the characters. They felt too shallow somehow.

Underwaterbob,

I can’t really disagree with any of that, though I did feel like the plot made a comeback in the latter half of the game after struggling through the middle like you say.

And some of the combat was quite hard for me. Though very late game, there are some utterly broken character builds that can make almost any fight trivial. That’s part of the fun!

Nelots, do games w I've been playing 'Ruby's Rebalanced HALO: CE' mod and it is fantastic.

The same person is currently working on rebalancing Halo 2 as well. I don’t follow it closely enough to have any clue when it’ll be done, but I’m excited to try it when it finally is. H2 had loads of problems when being developed, and I’d love to see the game properly balanced and with extra content.

Hadriscus,

I’ve been watching Ruby’s last few livestreams, it’s amazing what he’s doing. The changes are much more in depth than what he did with CE : jackal shields, fighting marines when playing as the arbiter, revamped fight against the prophet of regret… he was working on the quarantine zone recently, which makes him over two thirds of the way through.

BakerBagel,

Is he doing anything about the swarms of Jackal snipers in Halo 2?i loved Halo 2, but you can tell Bungie got lazy in the campaign by just putting a bunch of snipers on god mode.

Hadriscus,

I’m pretty sure he did, but not sure where he talks about it. You should try watching his older livestreams on the early levels, or his recent “overhauling the covenant” video.

Hadriscus,

Yes, I can confirm he mentions his adjustments to jackal snipers in “overhauling the covenant”

setsneedtofeed,
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

In videos he has mentioned both reducing the damage from the sniper rifles so they aren’t one-hit kills, and allowing jackels to use carbines which will replace some sniper jackels.

vikingtons, do games w I've been playing 'Ruby's Rebalanced HALO: CE' mod and it is fantastic.
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

ruby’s rebalanced is the only way I can play CE today via MCC.

I don’t have high hopes for 343 but I gather their CE remaster may expand upon what was available back in 2001 and reintroduce cut content.

chiliedogg,

343 is remastering Halo 1 again?

vikingtons, (edited )
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t count CEA as a remaster so much as a piss take but apparently, yeah.

This is reported to be a pseudo UE5 port (think Oblivion Remastered (💀)) and will be available on PlayStation. The core of the game will apparently be derived from Halo Reach’s iteration of Blam engine. The “technical details” are all just rumours and you’ve every right to disregard, though the entry coming to PS5 is more or less acknowledged.

I don’t believe a multiplayer component is planned.

Protoknuckles, do games w Ghost of Yotei | Review Thread (89/100 OpenCritic)

I’ll pass. They chose to appease Trump over protecting their staff.

original_charles,

What happened?

knowone, (edited )

I just looked it up now seeing as I hadn’t heard of this either

From what I can gather one of the senior members of the development team, Drew Harrison, made a (mild) joke in a tweet about the suspected shooter in Charlie Kirk’s death. Loads of right wingers, being the thin skinned, wannabe victims but apparently “free speech warriors” that they are, harassed her and contacted Sucker Punch trying to get her fired, threatening to boycott the game and so on. Sucker Punch and/or Sony predictably caved and did so

If I’m missing anything, please feel free to add to this. As I say I’m only just hearing about it and haven’t gone on a deep dive about it

HeyJoe,

Yup, as much as I wanna play this, im going to pass. Hope they get the boycott they were hoping to avoid.

EncryptKeeper, (edited )

They are because those same people are boycotting anyway for two other reasons.

  • The game features a female lead this time around.
  • the voice and performance actress of the player character is left wing
NuXCOM_90Percent,

Sucker Punch then tripled down on it

bsky.app/profile/…/3lzobkxybb22z?ref_src=embed

Which is even more jarring when you realize they have been leaving Erika Ishii to be a lightning rod for all the chud hate basically since this was announced. No support for the face of their game but abrahamic god forbid someone make an incredibly mild “mario and luigi” joke.

Which is even more fucked (and yet actually makes perfect sense) when you remember this is the same studio that did a game about a Native American rebelling against a fascist corporation that took over Seattle. And then you remember they had Troy Baker voice said Native American and… yeah.

Real shame. I liked Ghost of Tsushima a fair bit (even if it was very clearly written by weebs, for weebs) and was planning to grab this as a goofing around game. But I guess sucker punch just saved me probably 80 bucks or whatever this was going for.

knowone, (edited )

Yeah even putting this situation aside I wasn’t that gassed for GOY. I played GOT and enjoyed it sure, but it was yet another typical open world action-adventure game with no innovation at all really, basically the same gameplay we’ve seen countless times at this point. It just had a halfway decent story, which is a low bar for video games, and looked really pretty. And what you say is very true I agree, “by weebs, for weebs”

Edit: oh my god I knew there were apparently new gameplay elements in GOY. I hadn’t looked it up but suspected it would again be nothing new. And yeah most of it is but I did see they have something…unique. The “Watanabe mode” where it plays lofi beats music over you playing. So cringe

prole,

I might be having a brain fart, but which game is this?

Well dang, that is shitty to hear. I had hoped to play this one. At least I found out now before giving them any money.

prole,

Bummer… Guess I’ll pass too. Is there any way that I can let them know that I’m not buying it because they caved, not because of the original tweet?
