lowspeedchase, do games w what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?
  • Ultima Online: One of the greatest lore and social experiences of my life
  • Project Zomboid: Been playing for over 10yrs and still come back for a new character every few months
  • FO: NV
  • CIV V
  • L4D2

For what has my attention currently:

  • BG3: Trying my damnest for a durge run but I keep picking middle-evil responses instead of full-evil, too hard for me to be a baddie

Good-aligned “resist the Durge” works out better anyway imo and feels like the intended canon playthrough.

This is a extremely apt take

I prefer apt-get, but whatever floats your boat.

I feel like this is some programmer humour I’m too not-programmer to take

aeternum,

on Ubuntu, there is apt and apt-get for package managing. They do the same thing, mostly.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Search “online tournament X” where X is the name of the game you want to play. Tampa Never Sleeps does tournaments for the likes of Street Fighter 6 and Guilty Gear Strive every week, for instance. They’re all free.

Kennystillalive, do games w How do gameplay youtuber develop interesting commentary?

Just talk about stuff you like and enjoy yourself.

Won’t someone think of the fort gay children?!

MyDarkestTimeline01, do games w What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?

Dragon Age 2 ruined Dragon Age for me.

Mass Effect 3’s ending soured me to anything EA until Titanfall 2 was less than $20.

I’m sure I’m forgetting a few more ones but those two stand out the most.

Senseless,

The asset recycling in DA2 was absolute madness. I really tried to like DA:I and finished it once but it was painful at times. Has nothing on common with Dragon Age but its name.

Nikls94, do games w PlayStation 6 Console And New PS6 Handheld ‘Canis’ Specs Leak, It’s Claimed - Insider Gaming

I got the PS5 for my GF to play Hogwarts Legacy. I myself have played AstroBot, FF7, FF16 and Expedition33.

I use the controller on my Mac playing PS1 and PS2 games though. That controller has seen more PS2 games than PS5 games lol

Astro is the only one I desperately want as a PC gamer. Three cheers for Astro!

Nikls94,

To be fair, I lend the PS5 to a friend just for him to be able to play it

That’s awesome. Astro is great. I hope Sony realizes that and leans into in

zybir, do games w Good racing games on Steam?

Shout-out for Tokyo Xtreme Racer! I’m bummed it isn’t on sale though. It’s a remake of a game I was hooked on in highschool. You drive around highways looking for other street racers, then you flash your lights at em, and your off. Good times.

Zizzy, do games w Every RPG subgenre acronym, decoded

Quick correction, even though the A in ARPG stands for action, action RPGs and ARPGs are not the same genre and you cant (well you can, but you shouldnt bc then youre purposefully being obtuse) just abbreviate it. I dont really like this list for other reasons, but I can see that you did put some effort into it so I dont want to be super critical.

atomicpoet,

The ARPGs you’re probably referring to, I call them Diablo-likes to distinguish them from all the other action RPGs.

@SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I still remember someone saying that Diablo was a beat-em up, not a RPG 😁. We probably didn't know the term "hack'n'slash", but still makes me chuckle.

atomicpoet,

Terms can definitely be confusing. Diablo is definitely a hack-n’-slash, but it’s very different from the likes of Golden Axe and God of War.

Where Warframe would fit in this? It’s kinda a MMO (but not a MMO) with a lot of stat based progression.

atomicpoet,

ARPG + MORPG hybrid with looter shooter characteristics.

It doesn’t really fit anywhere cleanly, though.

fushuan,

That term was coined way too late, it's exilelike now.

what's the difference between an Action RPG and an ARPG to you?

nyctre,

One’s assassin’s Creed/horizon zero dawn/god of war, etc. The other is path of exile, diablo, torchlight, grim dawn etc.

One that comes to mind is The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Zukial, do games w what video game deserves to be in a museum?

Limbo.

I really like the atmosphere. They created so much with such an minimalistic graphic style.

Factorio.

I don’t know where to start. Overall a great example that some people like to optimize and put way more effort into this game than their job. Zeitgeist?

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

My then-girlfriend-now-wife and I went to a temporary video game exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image. A lot of the mainstays you’d expect were there, particularly from the arcade era, including ground-breaking titles like Dragon’s Lair (which is fascinatingly beautiful and a bad video game at the same time). At one point, one of the signs mentioned moving on from vector graphics, which my wife had no idea what that meant, so I immediately looked around for an Asteroids machine. You don’t really get how one of those games looks unless you’re playing on the genuine article. That’s the kind of thing that probably ought to be in a museum most.

I recently went to Galloping Ghost in Illinois, which is now the world’s largest arcade. It’s got nearly every arcade game you can think of, and they do a good job fixing them up. They have an F-Zero AX machine. I’ve always wanted to play one of those. I went to Galloping Ghost two years in a row, and it was broken both times. Turns out they’re having trouble sourcing the displays. As you go around the place, most machines are working, but even only a year later, more of them had display problems. I imagine even just getting regular old CRTs is going to make this kind of thing way harder as time goes on, and a good CRT does affect how these old games look, because they were designed for them. This is the kind of burden I’d expect a museum to take on.
