Adding on to this I heartily recommend MGS V. It is the culmination of the MGS formula in a mostly open world. While I love Kojima's bullshit, the previous MGS games had deep mechanics that you rarely got to play with because most the games were movies with an occasional game.
The story is kind of all over the place but the gameplay more then makes up for for it.
MGS1 is available on GOG, but it’s definitely got that early 3D vibe that OP doesn’t seem to like. I think it’s aged pretty well, considering it’s a PS1 title.
I love RimWorld, and I love DRM-free, but RimWorld on GoG is a mistake.
Instead, buy RimWorld directly from Ludeon. Then you get both DRM-free files from them (to enjoy in the fallout bunker), AND a steam key (so that you can easily enjoy the metric boatloads of modding content on the steam workshop).
External wikis are great and I love them, but they aren’t an excuse for not explaining how your game works within your game. There needs to be good in game guides.
All games need some way to save and quit. Looking at you, rogue likes. People have lives. That’s more important than protecting some weird form of honor by making the excuse that it’s to prevent save scumming.
You should play Policenauts. Its a visual novel adventure game from Hideo Kojimas early days in 1994-1996 following a private eye investigating a disappearance on a space station.
When you load a save file, the game gives you a summary screen of the events in the game that have happened so far (at least it does in the SEGA Saturn version that I played). Its the first instance I recall of this happening in video games, and I do wish it could return in more games. Its possible that other games had this before, but if there was a game that did, I dont know it or remember it.
I’ve also seen volume settings not kick in until you loaded a save file. Also, PS1 era Final Fantasy games that don’t acknowledge your button mappings until the save has been loaded, so that B is select and A is cancel on the main menu, but the other way in-game.
I never got to play the 3DS growing up unfortunately. I loved the GBC/A and DS when I was younger, and I was like the target demographic for the whole 3D thing, thinking it was super fucking cool. But when my parents bought me one for Christmas when it was new, I lost it outside like the very next day. I was too embarrassed to tell them, so I pretended that I still had it for months before eventually “the dog chewed it up” one night.
I had a DS Lite growing up and that thing lived a long life until one day it was tossed by my younger sister in a fit of rage. one day to find it and to try and fix it
I had an original DS, the big gray brick that’s been nicknamed “panzer” compared to DS Lite and DSi… Amusing when you see how 3DS XL and then the Switches turned out.
After years of service the upper screen broke into a pretty LCD rainbow. At the time it was long into DSi life and 3DS was almost coming, but I still got a new white DS Lite because I wanted the GBA port. I still have that one.
I don’t really understand the endgame of this game. Something like PUBG has a clear goal every game. But here it’s just looting to get better stuff to loot more? With some PVP/interactions in between?
It’s a lot like Minecraft where there isn’t really a definitive endgame (I know Minecraft has the Ender Dragon now but still). There’s quests to do, a skill tree to fill out, loot tiers to climb, but the game leaves it to you as far as when and how you want to do all that stuff. Some people treat it as purely PvE, some as purely PvP, most are somewhere in between… it’s all what you make it.
The real end game is that you get bored and stop playing. The game doesn’t really drop much story, just vague hints and tasks to guide you somewhat towards it.
Some friends at work started up a patient-gamer-style Pokémon book club. It’s been four months and we’re almost done Pokémon Black/White (which may sound impressive except that we started with Pokémon Black/White)
My point is: there’s basically an unlimited number of good games that run on old hardware. Not that retro Nintendo hardware is cheap these days, but if you’ve got some lying around…
Not an unreasonable suggestion, the list of Mac compatible emulators is really impressive. Pretty much everything supports M1 Macs, even cutting edge emulators like ShadPS4 and Ryubing (PS4 + Switch emulators)
You should be safe. There were banwaves in the past that resulted in players getting blocked from online play, but those were tied to the console, not the account, and there is no 3DS online play to ban people from anymore. And after those banwaves happened, CFW started getting smarter about covering its tracks so Nintendo likely can't detect you as long as everything's up to date.
Given that the 3DS has been long discontinued, Nintendo's not going to bother cracking down on anyone now.
I’d be interested to see how sales of the steam deck compare. Sure, it’s a pc not a console, but the whole thing is to bring pc gaming to console gamers so I’m interested in the comparison.
EDIT: based on a quick search, 4 million as of this time last year. I did not find anything more up to date than that. Looking that up made me realize that it would be nice if this chart had a date on it since two of the consoles in the chart are still in production.
I think people think it runs way fewer games than it does. I keep updating proton, etc, and like 99% of my games work. Hell, I have all my DS and Switch games on there.
You can make the argument that they do not belong because their primary businesses are Windows, Office, and AI. But if you’re looking for them because of Xbox, Bethesda, Mojang, or their other brands, that is where they would rank. Between NCSoft and NetMarble, with a USA flag.
Edit: ~4B$ seems way low for Microsoft… I dunno what I was thinking. Leaving the mistake for context. Maybe I meant $3.9T? But again that’s not just gaming. Gaming is a drop in the bucket for them and Xbox is failing and Bethesda has sucked for like 10 years or more now, closer to 15 if we’re honest. Mojang (Minecraft) is successful and Obsidian is killin’ it, but in the grand scheme of things? Microsoft doesn’t matter here.
