there is a channel in AF Discord

theorangeninja,

The community is dead, unfortunately.

Stovetop,

Is there a dead dead game news channels channel?

JillyB, do gaming w Got a Switch today, need some recommendations.

If you’re trying to play with your son, Smash Ultimate is good. It also has a good amount of single-player content.

No one’s suggested it yet, so I’ll say Fire Emblem: Three Houses - lots of gameplay hours, especially if you want to go through each of the four storylines, albeit can be a bit repetitive getting to that point.

ConstableJelly,

I remember hearing about that one, I’ll definitely check it out, thanks.

sleepybisexual,

Yea, 3h is pretty good

The nature of the switch makes spontaneous co-op more accessible than other consoles. In that regard, I suggest:

  • Towerfall
  • Super Blood Hockey
  • Good Job!™️
GlitterInfection, do games w Been playing FF7 Rebirth (35 hours in) and really not enjoying it. Does anyone else feel this way?

That sounds like how I remember FF7 being.

Is this game a clone? It’s definitely a clone. It’s not a clone. It’s maybe a clone. Is it a clone?

That’s FF7.

Yeah exactly, the middle was always pretty empty and aimless.

JakenVeina, do games w Legend of Zelda

Gotta be Breath of the Wild, for me. Taken together with Tears of the Kingdom, the series’ storytelling and immersion has never been better, I think, and as a game, Breath of the Wild was the tighter, more-satisfying experience, overall.

Wind Waker is a veeerrrrrrry close second. I think it’s the most-polished entry in the whole series, in both categories. I’m really not sure what I would change, if given the chance.

exocrinous, do gaming w Open world games, need recommendations

Assassin’s Creed 1 and 2. I’ve also heard good things about Morrowind but haven’t played it.

ogginger43,

Morrowind is a great game, Worth a try if you’re willing to watch some videos on how to play. Its a bit unforgiving to newcomers who don’t know how to build a proper class yet. Its got an android port too.

exocrinous,

If I’m an experienced D&D player, will I need to worry about knowing how to build a class? I didn’t have any problems understanding KOTOR’s character creation, and I actually prefer Mass Effect 1’s combat and levelling over 2. I love crpgs.

Android port you say?

+1 for Morrowind. Be sure to play via OpenMW. It fixes a LOT of stuff and gives many quality of life improvements

Schneemensch,

Assassins Creed 1&2 are not really open world games comparable with BoTW or ToTK. The world is much smaller and everything is far more linear. The combat system is also not extremely great. You can mainly just wait for counters constantly.

That said, I still enjoyed the games (especially 2) a lot. But it is more the fun climbing action and fairly good storytelling.

Skyrim might be possible, but I have not played it personally. The witcher is available on the Switch as well.

Hadriscus, do games w Legend of Zelda

I’ve only ever played the two Oracle games on gameboy color, they were excellent. Never dinished Ages though, too damn difficult. Something about this format (topdown, block-based…) works really well with my brain

RememberTheApollo_, do astronomy w After 30 years, I'm finally going to see a total solar eclipse. Also, Potato World is a thing.
@RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve got a few years of waiting on you, but never made an eclipse a priority to see. This one was close enough where I had no excuses. And I had the day off with the kids. We drove many hours to get to Plattsburgh, NY in the hopes that the event wouldn’t be obscured by clouds, we had a choice between that and Ohio. Looks like Ohio did pretty well, we had a high cirrus cloud layer but it wasn’t enough to disrupt the view. I wouldn’t call myself an astronomy buff, but Space has always held huge interest in my life, so dragging the family out for this event was kinda a big ask because they weren’t necessarily into it. I hoped the trip would be worth it, both weather-wise and stellar phenomena-wise.

Worth it. There’s no words to describe the ethereal, silvery ring that magically appears during totality. Bailey’s beads and more. Sure, there are photos and videos, but that doesn’t do justice to the play of light in the environment surrounding the viewer, the night-yet-still-day incongruity.

Everyone is taking home some joy from the experience.

We tried to capture a photo of total, but due to a comedy of errors, it didn’t happen, so the memories will just have to stay in our heads.

I hope anyone near an eclipse’s path of totality won’t write it off if they have a choice. Go see it. Truly a sight.

Hope your viewing went well, too.

XeroxCool,

This is the kind of thing where even if kids don’t seem to really be interested in it, even if they don’t seem impressed, it’s such an incredibly rare and unique event (close enough to home) that they will always remember it. Maybe not to the point of thinking about it every week, but in the sense that every mention of solar eclipses, at the very least, will remind them of this one moment in totality with you. You can plant some seeds for interests without knowing what will take root while still knowing the seed stays there.

@RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world avatar

Certainly hope so, and the memories of the better part of a day in bumper to bumper traffic going home to fade.

flicker, (edited ) do games w Legend of Zelda

I’ve played them all over the years. My favorite for a long time was Wind Waker, because of the feeling of freedom it gave me, so it’ll surprise no one that Breath of the Wild beats it.

Breath of the Wild is my new fave. I gotta say that the story of Tears of the Kingdom really did it for me (just absolutely sobbing at points) but since it feels like it wouldn’t have had that impact if it wasn’t for Breath of the Wild, I give it to Breath of the Wild.

(Special shout out to Link Between Worlds. Really feel like that game was fun as hell.)

Edit: Gotta be real. I don’t remember which one I played first? I think it was Link to the Past.

TORFdot0, do games w Legend of Zelda

Probably a Link to the Past. Although I’ve only played the games in the series up to Link’s Awakening so that might change although the game would have to be pretty damn good

SidewaysHighways,

Wait so no ocarina?

TORFdot0,

Its next on my list!

RagnarokOnline, do gaming w A very timely "Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 7th"

Playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and I’m the final dungeon. Loved the game.

Also playing a mobile MMO called Grow Stone Online and it sucks.

Not sure what I’m going to play after FF7 Rebirth, but I’m kinda craving a FPS.

Crackhappy, do games w Which Mortal Kombat games across the years should I start with?
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly the very first game was amazing. It was janky but fun.

tuckerm,

I remember thinking that it was the pinnacle of graphics. I mean, it was photos of real people, that had to be as realistic as games could possibly look.

AND I WAS RIGHT.

I remember playing Metal Gear Solid as a child and saying “graphics won’t ever get any better than this”.

That definitely didn’t age well. Just like me.

Kolanaki, do gaming w Dragon's Dogma 2 MTX
!deleted6508 avatar

I’m less upset by what the MTX is or that it’s there in a seventy dollar single player game, than I am that they did not disclose it would even have MTX until the day it launched.

If it has been known before hand, I wouldn’t have really cared too much. RE4 has the same kind of MTX, it does not affect the game, but it was also known before launch that it would have it.

Sas,

Tbf this kind of bullshit useless mtx has been in probably every capcom game for a while now so it was expected on my end. I hate that capcom forces the devs to include them but every game I’ve played that had them they were useless and the devs were only doing malicious compliance.
