I used to play growtopia as a kid (don’t play it now, it went downhill lol), and I’ve seen a ton of scams/griefs among my friend circle, people would work for ages to gain someone’s trust and then either steal via picking up dropped items, not returning borrowed items, ooor… if you gave them access to your world they’d log in when you’re offline and literally tear the whole thing down to bedrock, even valueless blocks

It's a good game, I understand. Only problem with it is some of those mission challenges.

I was trying to get all of them first go around and already messed up one where I had to explode 3 powder kegs, and I only missed the first one because I had to reload my pistol and was already past the first barrel by the time I finished

Dispatch.

It goes the old telltale way of presenting fake choices that dont really matter because the optional character are being written out of team scenes mostly, one romance option is completely ignored because the devs clearly favoured the other and put her in every scene and the dispatching minigame they advertised the game with has absolutely 0 impact on anything. You could fail every dispatch, only do the mandatory ones and nothing would change.

The Elden Ring.

The open world just did not do it to me. I enjoy much more tighter game world like in the previous souls games.

Most of the side bosses were unintresting and if you found them too late you were completely overpowered.

BlameTheAntifa,

I still enjoyed Elden Ring, but I agree completely. I prefer the metroidvania world design of earlier From Software games. The sense of progression is one of the best parts of those games, and Elden Ring’s open world robs the it of a lot of the magic of earlier titles, where discoveries were around every corner and in every nook and cranny. I never felt the same joy of exploration and hard won progress as I did in Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro.

Garbagio,

Double-agreed, but from a different point. What frustrated me about Elden Ring was that some of the dungeons were literally the best designed soulsbourne levels I’ve ever played. Everything between those dungeons, though, just felt like open world slop. The game would have been pure crack if it had just been tighter.

If it were more linear akin to their older games and dramatically reduced the visual clutter of most bosses, it would’ve been perfect, but those two things brought it way down imo. These sorts of games excel in smaller, more linear but interconnected environments.

ScoffingLizard,

Open world sure did mean lots of wandering and dying until you figured out where to go. Still worth it but too much wasted time.

GrayBackgroundMusic, do games w What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?

Space marine 2. You shoot things with guns that don’t feel powerful and you die if you don’t have perfect reaction timing to do executes. I’ve never played a game where the world says “oh you’re amazing and powerful!” but then makes you feel incredibly weak. Also, the timing for executes is not fun. It would be nice if they were bonuses but they are necessary to survive because they replenish your health. The gun gameplay is just shooting. No strategy. Boring. I’m going back to hell drivers 2.

MrFinnbean,

I personally loved it the part where i was weak. Its lore accurate and it was like travelling back in time to the olden days.

It was great nostalgia rush to play a game where you could really die and it was not unusual to need and try same fight multiple times.

Now days i feel like most games are allmost impossible to loose. I dont want it from all the games, but its nice to have games like that available.

Helldivers 2 is hard game, but dying a lot is something the game mechanics are build around and you dont loose instantly and when you loose you just fire up a new game, it does not give me the same 2000’s vibe i got from the space marine 2.

Also the reaction times are not that tight. Even my dad reflexes can manage those.

GrayBackgroundMusic,

You and my buddies say that the reaction times aren’t that tight. I must be doing something wrong then because they’re no different than any other reaction game for me: I miss a majority of the.

CaptPretentious,

I played this with two friends. The progression system is just awful. So we got through the full campaign once and it was fine honestly. Then we were kind of hyped to try going through it again, it was all right definitely harder. And then the third time around we just gave up cuz it was clear that they’re just wasn’t that much game to play, and the enemy is just become bullet sponges and you either grind endlessly to try to level up and gain unknown amounts of power if its power at all.

Intermultiplayer sessions we did have a few epic moments won’t lie. But the cost just wasn’t worth it. And those thin offset the issues that we had.

@DacoTaco@lemmy.world avatar

Neither. Both games were run into the ground.
If i had to pick one, id go for an x ( or game based on x and zero ) game that goes over the elf wars that ties the x games to the zero games

TallonMetroid,
@TallonMetroid@lemmy.world avatar

I was going to go for ZX3, but an Elf Wars game is an even better suggestion, which is why Capcom will never do it.

thats the point of thoese games. more story than gameplay almost

Psythik,

Damn, remind me to never play them, then.

A good story shouldn’t need to be told through endless dialog boxes, it should be told through gameplay.

BryceBassitt,

So wrong 😆

X9

Nurse_Robot,

We got a confirmation! That’s good enough for me :)

I’ve been playing it this morning. Virus scan came back clean, and the game has been interesting so far.

Dreaming_Novaling, do games w Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games?

Like others said, any turn-based game. Currently suffering enjoying SMT III Nocturne, others I’ve played are Octopath, Fire Emblem, Pokemon (esp Mystery Dungeon), Atlus in general. Balatro sounds nice. Rhythm heaven is WarioWare + Music, and that’s definitely doable one-handed, especially the Wii version. My mom said Fortune Street (Monopoly but Mario + Dragon Quest) lol.

Mobile games can be very doable, a cute one I remember is Candies n’ Curses, a game where you swipe to direct the character around a haunted mansion and fight bosses. Easily can be played with one hand. If you can tolerate gachas, Cookie Run Kingdom can be put on auto so you don’t have to tap much, I just like the story and characters. I think Geometry dash can be doable on low levels with one hand?

Find your inner weeabo and play some Japanese visual novels. Or if you’re a normal person then Ace Attorney would be a fantastic choice, and is a long-ass series. Prepare for courtroom bullshit and jokes.

Poik, do gaming w Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games

So. I’m on the side of more difficulty sliders please, but it’s not just to get more people in the door. I want to be able to make games more difficult when I can too. I generally play on the hardest difficulty first, then lower it until I’m having fun.

But there are games where making it easier cannot work, to my knowledge. A good example, I think, is Post Void, which is VERY inaccessible in a lot of ways (epilepsy warning, if you look up the game, even with the accessibility setting on, it’s still bad). The visuals need accessibility options to be improved, but the gameplay really can’t be made more accessible without severely harming the gameplay. At best you could add more starting time to the flask. I rolled hard off this game due to chronic illness, but I loved it. But I also hated it for similar reasons. Some games are just niche, and frankly, there’s enough games out there that you don’t have to play all of them.

AmazingAwesomator, do games w Which year was the most stacked for game releases?

i was going to go with '06, but it looks like '04 was revolutionary for many game genres, and considered a major milestone in video game history due to its lasting affect on future titles.

Yeah, I think we have a winner. It’s 2004.

B0NK3RS, (edited ) do games w The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS Retrospective
@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

I really liked my 3DS and especially StreetPass and getting all those puzzles pieces. I’d take it to work with me everyday but once I lost all my progress I eventually just stopped playing on it.

I’m keeping an eye on the new dual screen handhelds but will wait a bit longer and see how it fares.

For a recommendation, the Boxboy! games are great fun.
