If you get any kind of consistency, you should reach out to the mods and get it added to the sidebar. I like having a thread like this in a gaming community.

I’ve been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance in anticipation of the sequel, which I already bought. I feel like I never know when the next opportunity to do side quests will be, so I found a good break in the story around main story quest 8-ish, and I’m just doing those for a while. The first couple of missions set some false expectations for what this game is and what you’ll have to put up with, but it becomes much more straight forward after that.

I’ve also been going through the Borderlands games ahead of that series’ sequel, and I just got to Borderlands 3. Man, that game feels great to play. It’s been interesting to play through these games so rapid fire, because whatever my criticism was of the previous game, the developers also knew about it and addressed it in the next game. I hear the writing takes a turn for the worst in this game, but the first few hours are more than tolerable so far.

And for quicker sessions, I’ve also been playing through Devil May Cry 4. I started playing through these games back when Hi-Fi Rush completely floored me, and then some other games came out, and I put DMC4 down for a while. Now that I picked it up again, it’s still great, but I’m not really sure what to do with Nero’s revving mechanic.

Why are you trying to wean your girlfriend off of Strive? I love me some +R too, but both of those games are great!

Damn. I remember when it came out. When I first heard about it I was in the living room playing Assassins Creed 3 and a YouTuber I was into at the time uploaded a let’s play. Time really flies

marilynia,

Mein Stammbaum ist ein Kreis (my family tree is a circl)

bunnyBoy, do games w Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy teo longest eunning best friends.

I have the exact same take, and the exact same experience with my friend group. I love supergiant games. Anything they touch is solid gold imo. I’ve always said that Hades is an amazing game, it’s just supergiant’s worst game.

Personally, I think for me, it comes down to the setting. Bastion, Transistor and Pyre all had amazing, unique settings that made me as a player want to learn and explore everything I could. And again, Hades does an amazing job of painting the setting and fleshing out the characters, but it’s kinda just Greek mythology, which has been done before and I personally find it less interesting.

To restate, Hades is an amazing game, just imo it’s supergiants worst game.

MyDarkestTimeline01,

Agreed.

thequickben,

Wouldn’t pyre be the worst by sales numbers? I think your bias against roguelike’s is showing here.

Hades is massively popular and well liked by a lot of people.

bunnyBoy,

I love roguelikes, probably one of my favorite genres, so much so that I started playing rogue for a while to see what the OG was like.

And by sales numbers, 100% Pyre would be their worst game, but I’m far past judging a games content by its sales at this point.

And it’s easy to see why Hades is loved by so many, it’s a great game! Just definitely my least favorite of all of Supergiant’s stuff.

AceFuzzLord, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of June 1st

I absolutely suck at it, but I started a save on SimCity 3000. I have a lot of learning to do because my city is 100% dying, so I should probably run through the tutorial…

I have also been doing very minor chip damage on completing Gemcraft: Chasing Shadows. I’m far enough along it takes a long time for me to beat any levels. And probably even longer when I finally am able to beat the 200+ wave level.

I also discovered that Portal is now 7.63GB in size currently, after buying The Orange Box for $3.99 and wanting to check out a mod I found for Portal that I didn’t realize wasn’t released yet. Don’t know how big the game originally was on launch, but now it’s nearing the 11.88 GB size of Portal 2, which I find insane.

I also kept failing at Zuma Deluxe due to bad luck and skill issues on my end.

Zenith,

Huge city games just require so much trial and error, it’s not you it’s the nature of the game

AceFuzzLord,

Probably. Though it also doesn’t help with how old it is considering I can do fine enough on city skylines.

Ashtear, do games w Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy teo longest eunning best friends.

If I’m being honest, before Hades, I wasn’t sure how much of a future Supergiant had in game dev. They clearly have talent for making beautiful looking worlds with great soundtracks and writing, but their gameplay was not exceptional for the genres they dabbled in. They didn’t try to iterate either, flitting from genre to genre.

Hades was the result of them taking what they learned from Bastion and Pyre and applying it to a trend. They really nailed the gameplay this time. I think Hades 2 is even better, and I suspect it will be again be a GOTY contender when it comes out.

That said, I think they could very well end up branching out again from roguelites after this.

If you’re interested in checking out some of the lesser-known gems on PS2, consider giving Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 a try. They’re both completely standalone, so you could skip the first and try the more beloved sequel. The hook for both is that as you explore dungeons, you get blueprints and resources to rebuild the outside world. Honestly? I don’t know if they aged well, but I had a blast when I discovered them about 20 years ago.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but formatting after the Deck Cube title gets wonky.

EDIT: NVM, I think it’s my app (Summit). Firefox displays the page correctly.

I am sorry!

I’ve had that a few times, I do know the Boost app for iOS struggles with these posts, too. Glad you worked around it, and sorry it caused your app to get wonky!!!

Tailz, do games w Looking to get into Sonic games
@Tailz@lemmy.world avatar

If you enjoy physics based gameplay like I do, the 2D originals are a great ball of fun. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are also tons of fun for the same reason although both games have annoying camera issues in some places. Sonic Mania is a much newer 2D game based on the originals and was great too. The newer 3D games are very hit and miss. They play like a glorified Temple Run game where you just mash a button and race through everything without having to think which can get tedious fast

shittydwarf, do games w WalkScape's (RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG) developer here, we've now released support for smartwatches on iOS & a lot of new content, and we are accepting new players to the Closed Beta!

This is a cool project, glad to see things are still progressing. Is there an option for manually adding activities (like cycling or workouts), or is it solely based on the step counter of the phone?

schamppu,

Thank you! There is no option for that yet, but cycling basically does work if you have your phone in your pocket, or you use your watch on iOS in what we call “ankle monitor” mode. Current thinking is that we want to keep it steps based, but proper cycling support is planned. Manually adding activities likely won’t be a thing other than maybe in the single player mode, as that could be abused by players way too easily.

shittydwarf,

It didn’t cross my mind that people would play themselves that way but that totally makes sense

I always forget how absolutely awesome Escape From Butcher Bay is until I’m reminded of its existence and its shockingly unfair to that game.

I’d kill for a new Riddick game!

Krauerking,

I still think the series is actually the best Space Opera and I do mean opera. But they have some great stories.

I’d love another Riddick game too. I’ll settle for the 4th movie I guess for now

I remember when the Nintendo color was orange. I may just be thinking of the light gun that came with it…

bobs_monkey,

You sure are lol

otp,

Purple was their colour for a while.

I think their colour was grey before that. But they had red, then purple accents. Foreshadowing!
