The originals were much better. Lara Croft was a jet-setting dilettante with Girl Power from the era of “Cool Britannia” and the Spice Girls.

Comparatively, the reboots are utterly po-faced.

I ironically never got into the old Tomb Raiders and it wasn’t until the reboot of the trilogy that I started to play them. I like the games overall but I just noticed she was a sociopath lol.

Well, you don’t get many kind and gentle shooter protagonists just dripping with empathy.

undrwater,

Well THERE’S an interesting idea!

BANG! “I did it again, I hate myself. Poor guy was minding his own business and hadn’t done anything to me.”

BradleyUffner,

When you loot them, instead of finding ammo and health packs, you find pictures of their kids and elderly grandma.

Uruanna,

Have you not seen those movies that end up saying “if we kill the big bad, we’re no better than them” after mowing down countless faceless mobs

sundray,

Some protags have “selective empathy” that only kicks in when a character has more than a certain number of dialog lines.

SkunkWorkz,

They should make a parody action movie where the protagonist in the end lets the antagonist live, because of moral reasons. Then they walk away and the camera zooms out and you see them walk over hundreds of dead bodies. Maybe Austin Powers or Naked Gun did this already.

Do you know where to get that final build of Yuzu anymore? Asking for a friend.

EDIT: Flathub still works:

flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

Same thing works for final build of Ryujinx:

flatpak install flathub org.ryujinx.Ryujinx

thingsiplay,

If you don’t get it from the original developers before the closure, then there is always a little bit of risk getting malware filled builds. So I would be highly cautious. That’s why you should build either from source, or archive before its shut down. If you search the web, there are many sources, sites and users offering the executable for either Windows or other operating systems. I personally wouldn’t download and execute random executables like that.

That’s the reason why I don’t give links, because I can’t guarantee its free from malware. Really, the best is you build from source. I know most people don’t do that, but this is the best.

SnotFlickerman,

I am happy to build from source, but I don’t have the source.

thingsiplay,

search for “yuzu” on archive.org should give lot of interesting results. There are source codes and latest builds available. I can’t be sure if even the sources are not tempered with. Use at own risk.

I think the latest Yuzu version from the original developers is “1733”. I have the version “1731” (2024-03-01) only 2 days before the shutdown. I had archived everything that day when reading about NOntendo going after Yuzu.

SnotFlickerman,

Dug in a little bit and ended up here:

web.archive.org/web/…/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

Which was linked to from here on the original Yuzu site:

web.archive.org/web/20240304063132/…/downloads/#l…

The flathub manual installation via command line still works. Unless flathub has been hacked (which there is currently no evidence that they have), it’s the same Yuzu. Seems to be version 1734.

flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

The response from the server indicates this is the same Yuzu.

</span>
thingsiplay,

That’s interesting! I didn’t know Yuzu was still available on Flathub (don’t remember to have checked it). There is also Ryujinx (the other big Switch emulator that was available alongside Yuzu) still available on Flathub. Its less performant and Tears of the Kingdom had early after 7 hours or so a game breaking bug hindering progress, that made me to play on Yuzu. Then I stayed on Yuzu. But I have it installed too, just in case. :-)

Yuzu works great, but I did not test with newest games. You also need Firmware and prod keys (I’m not sure if the keys are actually needed in Yuzu). Some games could require a minimum Firmware version. I’m not sure if its allowed to post links here, so I’m leaving it to you for home exercise.

This is on voyager/mobile, so on desktop I guess it would be the attach image, not the first body image.

I wasn’t refering to the fighting screenshot. :)

sigmaklimgrindset,

OH I see it now. Yeah, the area with Aerith’s house is gorgeous, and I was already enamoured with it in the OG with PS1 graphics. Remake really is great with the environments.

Goodeye8, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 21st

I finished my No Man’s Sky expedition. This is the first time the game had actually hooked me. I really don’t know if it’s the corvette building or something else but I really enjoyed the whole experience.

And of course I was playing Silksong because still haven’t explored everything. But I will say, I’m not getting the same high I got from Hollow knight. I feel like the areas in Hollow knight had more sense of discovery. Most areas in Silksong feel like a different gradient of run down. It fits thematically but when you’re exploring I’m not getting the “I wonder what’s here” because I know there’s just more decay. I also don’t enjoy how hidden some places are. I don’t remember Hollow knight being like this but Silksong feels like I’m playing Wolfenstein 3D where I’m just hugging every wall to see if there’s a hidden wall. I don’t feel that rewarded for being perceptive because finding new areas comes down to swinging the nail at anything that looks remotely breakable or jumping at any place that looks passable. I also enjoy the charm system of Hollow knight more because it’s more flexible. Overall Silksong kinda makes me wish I was playing Hollow knight instead. It doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s just not as good as Hollow knight.

I’ve been on a 3D platformer binge.

Just finished Castle on the Coast and was pleasantly surprised. It starts off feeling a little janky, but after the first 30-60 minutes realize it’s intentional and you are a silly giraffe parkour GOD. Some later levels get into abstract platforming and refreshingly different mechanics than I’ve experienced before. Worth checking out if you’re a 3D platformer-head.

Currently playing through Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Never played any of them before, but always wanted to. Just finished the first one and it was quite fun, although I did not like the final boss. There should have been a checkpoint after the first phase (2 keys phase). Looking forward to finding out how they developed the mechanics from there in 2 and 3.

Telorand,

Thanks for the rec! I have Castle on the Coast, but it’s been low on my “play later” list. I’ll move it up!

otp, do games w Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.

Some history is in order. The two most influential JRPG developers are Square Enix and Nihon Falcom. Square Enix gave us Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.

Uhh… credibility lost. They’re saying history is in order and they immediately begin by rewriting history.

Squaresoft and Enix were two different companies for decades, particularly when they were giving us Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.

atomicpoet,

Notice I wrote in present tense, not past tense. Square Enix are one company now.

otp,

Notice I wrote in present tense

Immediately after saying “some history is in order”.

Square Enix didn’t give us the original Final Fantasy nor the original Dragon Quest. They give us those games now. But writing as if they were always one company feels like rewriting history.

atomicpoet,

I think there might be a small misunderstanding. I wasn’t saying they’re one company—just noting the influence they both still carry today. However you look at it, Square Enix are the caretakers of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, much like how Bandai Namco continue to carry Pac-Man forward.

Instead of focusing on the negatives, why not celebrate what these games have meant to so many of us? Their impact is still worth appreciating.

Nikls94, do games w GTA V was released on this day, 12 years ago

Keep in mind that GTA V released in the PS3 - which is now considered a retro console.

maxwells_daemon,

Though it was a completely different game than what we’ve come to know as GTA V after the PC release, in terms of graphics and content. And even then I remember grabbing snacks to watch the loading screen…

edgemaster72, (edited )
@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

I refuse to entertain the idea of PS3 being retro until at least next year, when it turns 20. Now you might say “okay then, GTA V also came out on Xbox 360, which turns 20 in about 2 months” to which I say… get off my lawn!

ZC3rr0r, (edited )

For some reason this made me feel much older than knowing GTA V launched 11 years ago. I grew up with an NES.

mohab, (edited ) do gaming w First thoughts on Borderlands 4?

I'm not a fan of looter shooters, so this was never gonna work for me anyway, but I wanna mention this because I found it funny: Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition is $130 and the last 17 games I bought on Steam cost me $127, and that includes a few DLCs 😂

I also just realized this: currently at 60%, Borderlands 4 has worse user rating than any of those 17 games 😂
