Anti_Face_Weapon, do gaming w Do you know any singleplayer games that are infinitely replayable?

Look up project brutality or brutal doom. Those are great doom mods with a lot of fun gameplay. I used to play that for hours.

The Anno series is pretty cool. It’s like playing crack. I’ve been playing 1800 recently and it feels like an instant classic.

The elder scrolls games are great for this. The further back you go the more replayability there is IMO. Morrowind is goated.

Dungeon keeper 1&2 are both a lot of fun, and have lots of custom maps. The original dungeon keeper even has a full engine rewrite which is really good.

If you want to try map painters, Crusader Kings 3, EU4, and Victoria 3 are all excellent and in depth games, with a lot of replayability stemming from all of the different ways to build up your nation in the sandbox.

Rimworld, dwarf fortress, etc. Have fun!

Peffse,

Animyst seemed like a genuinely creepy/interesting game to try to conquer with a handful of friends.

Grimbeard is a favourite of mine, he focuses on mostly niche retro games with a lean towards horror

LoadingReadyRun’s “watch+play” series could be worth a look. Not strict reviews, but entertaining videos based on terrible games.

slazer2au,

They truly have put some people through terrible games.

Tomato Way is a true wonder

orb360, do gaming w Speaking of controllers: What's your favorite WEIRD controller?

The SpaceOrb 360

It’s a 6-axis controller I used for space flight sims (like Descent)

theangriestbird,

the orb! The Orb was the number one controller i had in mind when making this post. I never had one but i’ve watched so many videos about it. It’s like a controller from an alternate timeline of what could have been, if we never moved to analog sticks or mouse look. Apparently the tech is still preferred in the 3D CAD space. After several acquisitions, the company is now a Logitech subsidiary called “3Dconnexion”, and they make CAD tools like the SpaceMouse that use the same 6-axis tech that the SpaceOrb used:

My wife had a PS2 version of this with Final Fantasy 11 and the hard drive/modem attachment. I had never seen one before. It was pretty cool.

The Dreamcast had a keyboard for Typing of the Dead, but iirc they also had one similar to the pic I posted for Phantasy Star online.

amio, do gaming w I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used?

N64, and this is the one I actually grew up with. They took a chance, they fucked up by making an alien spaceship three-pronged dildoesque monstrosity, that wore out at mach speed - especially by normal gameplay in certain (coughMarioParty1cough) games. While I have tons of love and nostalgia for N64 and several games on it, it can't excuse the controller itself.

sleepybisexual,

Yea, the Trident is stupid

@airbussy@lemmy.one avatar

Any gamepad without vibration feels lifeless to me. This was one of the first gamepads I bought for PC, the Thrustmaster Dual Analog 4. No vibration, L3/R3 require a lot of force to press, no analog movement on the triggers. I guess what you get is what you pay for but man I don’t wanna go back to cheapo controllers…

sleepybisexual,

Yea, a lack of good motors sucks.

Now I’ve felt analog, digital input sucks

Mini_Moonpie, do games w Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?

There are a lot of great suggestions here already, so I will just share Mini Review with you as a discovery tool. I like to use them because they have a lot of filters to help you find a mobile game. For example, here’s their list for free, single-player, offline games with no ads or in app purchases, sorted by highest user score. They also have an app for both Android and iOS with the same info and filtering as the site.

joe_cool,

Oh this is great. Thanks.

SteposVenzny, do gaming w What are your favourite controllers?

PS2

  • best d-pad ever made
  • comfortable to my big hands without being uncomfortable to friends’ regular-sized hands
  • pressure sensitivity all over the place, even if that did get underutilized
  • versatile design that’s equally comfortable to use for 2D and 3D games and doesn’t specifically favor a small number of genres
  • smooth, strong, and yet quiet rumble
  • good heft
  • uses a cord so no fucking around with batteries
  • sensibly named and located Start and Select buttons (Everyone‘s been dropping the ball on that front, lately. Sony most of all.)

You can check out whatever is available on F-Droid. I personally enjoy playing Freebloks once in a while, it’s a mobile version of the Blokus boardgame

An alternative is checking out itch.io, searching with the proper tags, like puzzle, might yield decent results for your tastes.

You can also get Cookie Clicker or play the web version

PeterLossGeorgeWall,

To add to that try puzzles, lots of nice games in there. I particularly like flow

FryHyde,

Was gonna suggest the same thing! I like Net.

I’m a big fan of the 8bitdo Ultimate C, but my favourite may well be the GameCube controller

sleepybisexual,

Smash bros player?

GameCube layout is pretty nice

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Not really, I just think it’s the best controller. Ergonomic shape, octagonal stick gate (which is a criminally underused feature), good button layout… the only thing wrong with it is that the analogue triggers have a bit too much travel on them.

sleepybisexual,

People like the GameCube buttons? I hate the layout

The sticks are good tho. Would love a hall effect GameCube controller. Mine was good but I accidentally made it drift and its now unusable

Coskii, do gaming w What are your favourite controllers?

I do not know what the industry wide obsession is with connected D-pads, but my chunky thumbs do not appreciate it.

And with that in mind, the Playstation style of controllers are the closest thing to my ideal controller currently on the market.

Also, I prefer thumbstick under D-pad just in case I need to hit one of those buttons regularly I have a few options.

sleepybisexual,

Yea, the pro2 is PlayStation shaped. I actuslyl prefer it.

Coskii,
@Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah, I just wish they’d split the directionals.

sleepybisexual,

What do you mean “split the directionals” you mean staggered sticks?

Coskii,
@Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

The directional pad is four separate buttons. Up down left right. I want them to be like the c buttons on the Nintendo 64 controller. Separate.

What ends up happening with me is that I’ll press down but not squarely down. There is a good chance I’ll press partially to the left or right while using smaller d pads. This causes extra inputs I didn’t intend to do happen. The ds made playing tetris much harder on me than it should have for me.

sleepybisexual,

Why?

The point of a dpad is that you can roll it

Coskii,
@Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Edited to clarify. And you can roll separated buttons just as easily… I know because I’d do it a lot on the psp with dj max.

sleepybisexual,

Oh, yes, Sony have a good split pad, joycons have it but bad

toothpaste_sandwich,

What is the pro2 you’re referring to here?

sleepybisexual,

My 8bitdo controller, the pro2 has inline sticks

lapping6596, do games w Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?

Blooms TD 6 - fun tower defense game with solid progression and everything can be earned by playing what I think is a reasonable amount.

PlexSheep,

BTD5 too. This is a very good recommendation.

Glide, do gaming w Anyone know any good shooters for switch?

BPM: Bullets Per Minute. A boomer shooter had an affair with he rhythm game genre and this was the outcome. Amazing game, assuming you don’t mind rhythm games, and an immaculate one if you actively like rhythm games.

Neon White is technically a shooter, but in most ways does not play or feel like one. It’s better described as a first person puzzle/platformer, but I would still recommend it, as it is an incredible game.

Both of the Doom ports run insanely well on the Switch. Seemingly impossibly well considering how dated the console is.

Warframe is good, free and playing surprisingly well on Switch.

Splatoon is just awesome.

sleepybisexual,

I play splatoon :3

One of my fave games. will try warframe
