I’m glad you are enjoying it, but I wonder: how much of the enjoyment is inherent to the game and how much is just having a good time with your mates (and would be equally fun in any other co-op game)?
I think it’s a combination of both. I enjoy the core gameplay (I’ll sometimes play a few games by myself), but I think if it wasn’t for playing with friends I definitely wouldn’t be having as much fun. The fact that im not really one for public matchmaking doesn’t help either
It’s a question I ask often in multiplayer titles, because my experience with most of them is that as long as you play with your friends the actual game doesn’t really matter and you could pretty much have a good time goofing off in anything.
There are some exceptions though like Split Fiction.
It’s a fair enough question. It’s one I’ve asked myself a few times with other games as well. It’s funny you mention Split Fiction because I’ve been meaning to give a try with one of my friends
oh fuck, i hadn’t even though of that. It’s even more ironic because i was half considering pinging my friends and asking if any of them wanted to play Halo yesterday
Wow a spread sheet of water in games,impressive; that speaks of love for the medium. Do you only rank the best? Or do you also keep track of the worst intances of water in games?
It might just be me but there’s not a single course on here that i don’t like. They’re all really stable and sound tracks to play. To me it’s the best core Mario Kart experience.
Freespace is a bigger game with more ships and is more military focused. This game is more about being a mercenary/freelancer with very good voice acting and the world feels fleshed out. It’s also super easy, comparatively.
“released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on May 30, 2025. It received generally positive reviews and sold 3.5 million units.[1]”
So, first, it doesn’t matter how many concurrent players it has, it sold 3.5 million so it’s not a flop.
Second, it was released on 5 platforms, you are looking at concurrent players on Steam only.
I like when you include fun or odd stuff, that resembles a lot of old magazines (yeah yeah, I suppose you get comments like that often).
Has anyone shared your posts outside the fediverse? I legit think this is unique and real content, no SEO or AI shit that I doom scroll on a daily basis, that could benefit users from other communities lol.
I guess I do, but I don’t really know so much about the older magazines. I’m young, so I wasn’t around for the magazine era of gaming (much to my own sadness, my Papa tells me all the time how fun it was getting each month’s issue and the included ‘demo disk’). I’ve just spent a ton of time looking at scans of them, finding old archived gaming blogs…idk I just wish the current era of gaming journalism was more fun and less ‘begging’ or trying-to-trap-you-into-ads.
And not anywhere really! My friends Eben and Annie, who run Junk Store for Steam Deck take what I write and edit it so it fits for their sub-reddit. Or did, because now with the next iteration of Junk Store so close, their workload is getting more and more.
Other than that, last year I had a few of my interviews on SteamDeckHQ (because the owner of the site was a friend), and the same for Gaming on Linux for a couple.
These news posts though?! Nope, as they are they’re just here. Thank you for taking the time to enjoy these, I really appreciate it. Without people who love these I’m sure I’d have stumbled to a halt!
I’m still putting it up on our sub-reddit, I’m just linking directly to your Lemmy posts! Need to keep spreading the word about these awesome posts! Also this way maybe more people will join Lemmy!
Never really agreed with the Metroidvania label, same with Skul: The Hero Slayer. You unlock different biomes (and side rooms), but the items to do so are more like keys. Just my thoughts on that.
