I'd honestly love to see them try a different take on Diablo. It won't happen since Blizzard is all about live service games these days, but I'd love to see a single-player, traditional RPG version of Diablo. Imagine if Larian got the rights to make a Diablo game.

I was talking with a dude last night about what I termed a “Diablo themed Skyrim”

Imagine going through Sancturary during one of these hell uprisings in first person. Would be wild.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm kinda surprised that there hasn't already been a Skyrim mod that does exactly this.

Hammocks4All,

That would be awesome. It’s funny to think how somewhat similar Diablo is to Skyrim except Diablo is bird’s eye view and Skyrim is 1st person.

tissek,

Have yet to play it but Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous does have some similar themes. If you haven’t looked at it already give it a glance.

Trail,

Path of exile is like a spiritual successor to d2:lod. Can play solo only, but requires online connection. Huge amount of content and complexity.

Don’t gamble please for the love of fuck, all gambling is mathematically designed to never pay off for the one gambling

It’s a lot easier to design when the only payout are pixels on a screen.

EatATaco,

I generally agree, but poker is an exception where, if skilled enough, you can actually make money.

Blackmist,

The problem is that everybody sitting around that table thinks they’re skilled enough.

EatATaco,

Plenty of times I agree. However, no other game in the casino is one so heavily reliant on skill, and if you are skilled in it, it can pay off.

Excuse me but I heard that the real problem with gamblers is that 99% of them quit before winning big.

PunchingWood, do gaming w PlayStation's "Concord" is getting absolutely decimated into oblivion by "Squirrel with a Gun".

I’m almost certain the only reason Concord has players is because of social media incessantly talking about it. The only reason I know of the game is because of social media.

Just let it die and move on already.

They’ll keep this in rotation like starfield why make an effort to highlight actually good games when you can give AAA companies the exposure instead. After all they have lots of money.

Knights Within

Solo indie dev mashup of Risk of Rain, Helldivers, Vermintide, etc with its own soul and style of knights with guns. Dev is very active in the discord and takes feedback and actively plays with the small community the game has garnered.

I played the demo on a whim during a next fest expecting a janky joke of a game to laugh at but a decent and fun game caught me by surprise. It’s been improved and updated quite a bit since then.

I always like to give a mention to Your Spider. There are very few reviews (one of which are mine), but the game definitely deserves more attention.

JackbyDev, do games w Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before

HyperRogue has 352 reviews. It is a rogue like that is played on a hyperbolic plane rather than a euclidian one.

If you’re not familiar with hyperbolic geometry, don’t be fooled by the videos. It has the illusion of looking like it is on a sphere in many of the videos. It’s not! Also, you don’t need to be some master of hyperbolic geometry to play. I don’t really understand it but can still play the game well enough.

Essentially, imagine a hexagonal grid. Now, replace some of those hexagons with septagons (7 sided). The further away you get from a point there will be way more tiles in the hyperbolic grid than the euclidian.

The UI is pretty bad, the menus are pretty icky. Those are my only real complaints.

The game is charming. It has.a very retro feel to it. The music reminds me of something of hear from an old school point and click game or RuneScape. The graphics are minimal but charming.

The mechanics are easy enough. You get hit and you die. Most enemies die in one hit. There are no weapons or stats. It’s more like chess in a way. The game will also not let you accidentally move somewhere you’d die, so, yes, very much like chess with checkmates.

Because the game is so simplistic you can get into a flow state where you quickly move and attack enemies. It’s very satisfying to play.

Hyperbolic bonus: Hyperbolica, a first-person walking simulator set in a universe with hyperbolic geometry. You do odd jobs and play games that explore the strangeness of this geometry. Also, there’s a slight digression to explore spherical geometry as well.

Hyperbolica is much better than the rogue game

rand_alpha19, do games w Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

My time to shine! My wife is notoriously picky about games. You didn't specify local or online co-op but most of these have local if not online since we prefer to only need one copy.

  • Apico
  • Death Road to Canada
  • Door Kickers: Action Squad
  • Dysmantle
  • Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 (some of the Lego games around this time are also fun)
  • Mother Russia Bleeds
  • Nine Parchments
  • Party Hard
  • Riptide GP: Renegade
  • Road Redemption
  • Slipstream
  • Super Mega Baseball (any of them)
  • Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia (I use the keyboard to type, she moves the character around with her controller)
  • Traveller's Rest
  • Trine
  • Unravel 1 & 2
  • Vampire Survivors
  • Wizard of Legend
Nefara,

Seconding 9 Parchments and the Trine series. They are both by the same studio and they are beautiful games, they make sure every new scene is a tableau worthy of a screenshot with hyper saturated fanciful environments. The gameplay is fun, polished and goes by fast, in a good way.

Iceblade02, do games w What games popularized certain mechanics?

Minecraft for the fully breakable/buildable procedural open world.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Minecraft is far more responsible for the survival crafting genre that followed in its wake.

holgersson,

Minecraft Hunger Games, although a mod, is responsible for the Battle Royal hype aswell.

So Minecraft caused Fortnite twice - once as a survival crafting and building game and then as a Battle Royal retaining some of these elements

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

What’s the timeline on that mod versus the Battle Royale mod for DayZ? Because as far as I could tell, the DayZ mod is the true progenitor, but DayZ was itself inspired by Minecraft.

holgersson,

I couldnt find a release history for the Minecraft mod, however according to the following article, it was released about a year before the original PlayerUnknown mod for DayZ / Arma 3.

Warning: Cant decline cookies (at least in EU)

eurogamer.net/before-fortnite-and-pubg-there-was-…

Sethayy,

It was more a server side plugin than a mod, but that only grew its popularity.

Even randomised loot existed around the map

Moneo,

I miss u bukkit ;-;

sp3tr4l,

Day Z the standalone game was a result of Day Z the mod for Arma 2.

While Day Z (the mod) and Minecraft were in their early phases around the same time (i alpha tested both), I have never heard anyone say that Day Z was inspired by Minecraft, beyond the idea of it being possible for an indie game with a small development team being able to become a huge commercial success.

Butterpaderp,

Pretty sure the actual hunger games movie had more to do with that

holgersson,

As the inspiration yes. But Minecraft hunger games was the first to do it in gaming while also reaching maybe not more people than movies, but definitly spreading to communities that the movies and books didnt reach (e.g. i didnt watch the movies until well over ten years after I had played my first game of MC hunger games)

NotSteve_,

I miss MC Hunger Games servers. Are any still around?

Jakeroxs,

Also Mindcrack UHC, not sure if that came before the hunger games mods tho

Valheim $19.99 $9.99 (50% off)

You’re a viking that died and you find yourself in a purgatory called “Valheim” to prove you’re worthy of Valhalla. Another survival builder - with a somehow charming combination of really bad graphics paired with really good lighting. The combat is kinda clunky, but the other elements of this game make up for it. Well worth $10!! Don’t forget to turn your music on before summoning a boss.

Hugh_Jeggs,

You’re a viking that died

Pretty sure they all did that

robdor,

Yeah but these vikings extra died.

Zahille7,

I have a couple hundred hours on Valheim from the past couple years, and I love it. I haven’t played since Ashlands came out, but I’m excited to jump into it at some point.

simple, do games w The N64

It was definitely a product of its time, but it paved the way to what we have now. It’s important to note the N64 was the first console to have an analog stick, so nobody really knew where to place it. They put it in the middle since it was something extra not all games would use.

That said, the hardware limitations didn’t matter that much as long as the games were stellar. Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time are maybe the most influential games of all time, up there with Doom and Quake.

NewNewAccount,

Technically the Sega Saturn had an analog stick controller available before the N64.

segaretro.org/3D_Control_Pad#History

Albbi,

No. The N64 was released in Japan before this weird abomination was released on either Japan or North America.

NewNewAccount,

Looks like you’re right. The N64 released a month before the Saturn’s controller was available. TIL.

Abandon AAA, buy more indie or AA games and you'll find what you want

sleepybisexual,

Actually haven’t bought any new games that recently, can you give any recommendations?

AdamBomb,

Try looking for a Steam curator with tastes similar to yours. I like SkillUp’s curator page, maybe try that as a jumping off point.

sleepybisexual,

Could try that I guess, but I don’t really do PC gamjng anymore.

AdamBomb,

Well, same principle can be applied to other platforms. Find a streamer who plays a game you like you like and see what else they like.

Blisterexe,

You should try hollow knight, its a great metroidvania, and without saying too much the entire game is amazing, just the first zone is a bit boring

sleepybisexual,

Yea :3 I’ll get the switch ROM.

BTW, not exactly a metroidvania but skul: the hero slayer is a nice platofrmer too

Blisterexe,

Why the switch ROM?

sleepybisexual,

Not doing PC gaming anymore, and also I have a device that can emulate some switch

JackGreenEarth,

@Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

I can give so many but you'll have to narrow down your preferences a bit ^^

I've recently been playing Remnant 2, Songs of Syx, Age of Darkness, dotAGE, Helldivers, Valheim, Against the Storm... all really impressive and amazing games made by (relatively) small studios or AA developers with a passion for games. If you're completely new to the indie scene you probably can't go wrong with Hades, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Terraria

sleepybisexual,

Ooh :3

I’ve played Terraria :3

averyminya,

Hero’s Hour is a pixel art game that’s about building an army. Really solid indie game! Also a fan of Revita, it’s a roguelike but done very well and is mostly unique.
