Chromehounds was the greatest mech game on shitbox 360 and you can’t change my mind.

The sheer variety in player created metas was glorious to behold. Sure, you could play how the game encouraged you to play and hang your weapons in “normal” configurations. But you could also bury whole teams in indirect fire with a triple double from across the map. You could build a little punchy boi buggy with a dick piston, cockpit, wheels, and nothing else. You could even try to sweat the meta in the chicken leg howitzer or the turtle up in the armored crab.

The only limits were creativity and spacer availability lmfaooo

MintyAnt,

It’s pretty wack that we haven’t since had a game that captures many of the better elements of Chrome hounds.

Missing crossplay really sucks. I theoretically have an enthusiastic squad … too bad one player only has a PlayStation while me and the other person have PCs.

chloyster,

Yep it’s really whack. Sucks too because I have 2 distinct squads. A crew from college and a crew from high school. One on PlayStation and one on PC… Like I could buy it on both I suppose but that just sucks lol

Megaman_EXE,

That seems like a massive oversight. That’s so weird. I get it’s probably way easier to implement it the way they did. But because you likely will wana group with friends, it really limits people

FromSoftware doesn’t really do extra.

PonyOfWar, do games w Looking to get into Sonic games

I’d recommend Sonic Generations (or Sonic X Shadow Generations), which is kind of a best-of of previous Sonic games’ levels, tied together with a new story.

Sonic mania is also a great game, reminiscent of the first few 2d Sonic games. But, just like those games, it doesn’t really have much of a story or character interactions.

  • Golden Sun: The Lost Age
  • Horizon Zero Dawn

Edit: Added HZD as I didn’t see it while scrolling through this post.

Super Hexagon

It’s about as simple as a ‘modern’ game can be (I read there was even a port of it to Commodore 64.) but it’s a finely tuned machine. When you lose - and you will, a lot - it feels like mostly your own fault and not the game’s.

The difficulty levels very accurately start at Hard for the easiest one. There are 6 total levels, the next 5 difficulties are Harder, Hardest, Hardester, Hardestest, and Hardestestest.

With much time and luck I can beat the first level (unlocking the 4th). On a lost save I had unlocked the 5th level by completing the 2nd, and have only ever seen the 6th in videos from other people. I would have to beat the 3rd to see it myself, and that’s not happening.

The criteria to beat a level is “last for 60 seconds”.

FooBarrington,

Super. Hexagon.

It’s hard to explain the relief I felt upon beating the last level. I can fairly easily survive for 300s in the first one, but I’ve never gotten close to beating the last one again.

The most important tip I can give: if you have a 60Hz monitor, turn off VSync. Makes a huge difference.

There’s also a “spiritual successor” called Open Hexagon that’s extendable by the community if you want more, though I haven’t played it myself.

davidgro,

I’ll have to try that vsync thing when I get a new PC (laptop). I’m playing stuff on my phone or Android tablet lately

stormdelay,

It’s really good, I played it again recently after not touching it for maybe 10 years, and finally beat the last difficulty in an attempt to prove to myself I’m still not old

I thought at first you guys were thinking of this, and I was puzzled. Then I looked it up.

Crivens, it’s like a combination of Tempest and Flappy Bird, but since it’s a Terry Cavanagh game it’s also been whacked over the head soundly with VVVVVV.

Thanks Samuel that’s really kind of you 😊

grrgyle, do gaming w That fucking helicopter level

For years this was MAP16 (“suburbs”) of Doom 2, but over the years I’ve grown to appreciate the more chaotic/abstract levels.

See also TEETH.WAD (“express elevator to hell”) from the master levels. Punishing and IMO tedious.

What a pleasant surprise to find this on lemmy! Excellent write up as always.

Darktide is fire, it’s a left 4 dead style game (horde shooter?). If you want 2d shooters, I really enjoyed Broforce and Huntdown (that one’s a real gem)
