lorty, do games w Gaming has a polarization problem
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

With the amount of 9s and 10s coming out, why would you waste time with a 7? The polarisation is just an effect of the language of clickbait spreading in society, but doesn’t change the fact that average games are probably not worth your time.

phlegmy,

Because most reviewers will still have subjective biases, and what some people perceive as a 10 might be a 5 to others, and vice versa.

I personally try to avoid looking at ‘raw’ ratings when I’m trying to find new media.
Full reviews are better, because they’re able to express more nuance, and I’m able to decide if the parts they liked/disliked are things I care about.

Oisteink, do games w Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend?

Halo 1 and 2

Zahille7,

If you know how to sail the high seas and emulate things, Halo coop is easily my fave.

+1 for halo.

Why emulate ? The Master Chief Collection is available on PC. It’s missing Halo 5 though. And then Infinite went ahead and cancelled this whole storyline.

@DaveyRocket@lemmy.world avatar

True, I forgot that I bought that myself. My mind went to XBox emulation because I’ve been messing around with it. It’d be interesting to hear a comparison between what runs smoother: Halo 1-4 emulated or through the MCC.

There’s technically a reason.

The OG Xbox version made by Bungie was ported to PC by Gearbox back in the day, and the port made some changes to the game in the process. More visual than gameplay oriented changes, but purists will say they ruined the game. The Gearbox port is what they built Halo Anniversary (the Xbox 360 remaster) and the TMMC version off of.

LeninsOvaries, do games w From the trailer of Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014)

Isn’t The New Order the one where the nurse has sex with her former patient? That’s not ethical…

Kbobabob,

I think a former patient is fine. A current patient would be unethical.

DrSteveBrule,

Yea but that patient was John Nazikiller, so can you blame her?

LeninsOvaries,

Yes. She spent a decade wiping his ass because he was in a vegetative state, then fucks him a couple weeks after his miraculous recovery.

A doctor should consider carefully whether they could be exploiting the trust, knowledge and dependence that developed during the doctor-patient relationship before they decide whether to pursue or engage in a relationship with a former patient.

When deciding whether a doctor used the doctor-patient relationship to engage in a sexual relationship with a former patient, the Board will consider a range of factors including:
the duration, frequency and type of care provided by the doctor; for example, if they had provided long-term emotional or psychological treatment
the degree of vulnerability of the patient
the extent of the patient’s dependence in the doctor-patient relationship
the time elapsed since the end of the professional relationship
the manner in which, and reason why, the professional relationship ended or was terminated
the context in which the sexual relationship started.

DrSteveBrule,

In all seriousness I 100% agree. Aside from the ethical reasons behind it, it’s just really weird to do.

LeninsOvaries,

Yeah, it’s weird. It is incredibly difficult to see someone who’s shown that level of vulnerability to you as an equal. For 99% of their relationship, he hasn’t really been a person. That’s not the foundation of a respectful relationship.

Katana314,

Those couple weeks were in fighting for their lives against Nazis. In heat of battle, anyone can form a brand new relationship sooner than that.

gamer,

In heat of battle, anyone can form a brand new relationship sooner than that.

Explains why all the incels are backing Trump. They hope to find their boyfriend-free virgin girlfriend on the battlefield of the civil war.

Katana314,

Common misconception. None of them want war. They want to show up, intimidate people into surrender, and fight no one. They’re dogs barking through a fence that blindly ignore the open gate.

Hence why all the mass firings were by email. Hence why Trump has twice caved to Canada and Mexico on tariffs. Hence why ICE has failed to force either Illinois or Boston to cooperate with their raids.

I understand the reasons people feel they have to be afraid, but miss that all of the fear is on the other foot.

There was a great video where someone dismantled an ultra-aggressive “we’re gonna destroy you liberals” claim video. He basically said “No, I know you’re not going to do that. Because you said it into a camera.”

Uh, she also fucked him when he was IN a vegetative state.

I love the reboot franchise. So fascinating to see what the world would look like. The milkshake Nazi level is iconic. Scary and funny at the same time.

randomjoh, do gaming w Wish I could retire now actually

If you retire with no SS, medicare, an insurance that is required to cover you, medicaid to keep the doors open for even a retirement home to care for you, and your 401K is destroyed from the plunging depression that’s on the rise… it might be cool to worry a bit.

MyNameIsAtticus, do games w suggest me some games!!
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

i’ve been where you are with the specs (my device was an Acer Aspire with 6GB of RAM, iGPU, and a Duo Core i3). Some of the best games i got to run on there were Emulated Games. Assuming that’s off the table though:

  • Alan Wake is a decently low speced game and i highly recommend if you want Action and Story Rich (the original one from 2010, not the remaster).
  • Fallout 3 & New Vegas. I got them to run pretty well out of the box and both i can say meet the Action criteria.
  • If you want an online game Team Fortress 2 runs on anything really made in the last 10 years assuming you get your settings right.
  • Continuing with the Valve Train, Portal 1, Portal 2, and Half Life 1 all run pretty well. All 3 can be pretty high action at times (Half Life more so than portal)
  • Project Zomboid as far as i know is also pretty low spec. It’s a survival game which can be really high action depending on how you play it (you can customize the spawn settings however you like). Story Rich though? It leaves a lot to be desired in that department.
  • Max Payne is old, but it’s really high action and has a phenomenal story.

koncertejo, do games w Favorite Racing Game Soundtrack?
@koncertejo@lemmy.ml avatar

My shortlist is probably WipEout Pulse (I love how that entire series feels like a game made out of electronic music, the same way Doom is made out of metal), WipEout 2048 (for the same reason, but I played it even more), Forza Motorsport 2 (cuz it had a huge influence on my taste at a very young age), and then maybe Gran Turismo 5?

Skua,

I don't even like that genre of music much, but it is so perfect for Wipeout and the selection is excellent
