I'm still working on Lies of P. I'm starting to feel like Jack Torrance in The Shining, but I am just half a chapter away from the end. Currently working on getting past the mid-chapter boss.

Vodulas,

Is that Laxasia?

CharlesReed,

Yep, her second phase is giving me a lot of trouble.

Vodulas,

Yeah, I had a super hard time with her as well. Edit, spoiling the tip

spoilerOf note, if you haven’t figured it out, you can reflect her bolts when she is shooting at you from the air. Took me forever to figure that out and that helped a ton

CharlesReed,

I assume you use block/perfect block to reflect? I've been using the Aegis legion arm to "block", so I guess I better brush up on actual blocking.

Vodulas,

You got it! I am pretty bad at parries across the board and was able to get the timing

CharlesReed,

Nice! Thanks for the tip.

I’d give anything to design my own tanks for Hell Let Loose and then crew it with my buddies.

If Valve can’t do something that will push their business and the whole industry forward, they’ll just do some other thing that will.

Doing sequels after sequels will only stagnate the franchise, making Valve lose time. For that, they rely on publishers like Activision, EA, and Ubisoft among others.

FluorideMind,

You mean sequel? Valve doesn’t do “sequels”

Valve these days don’t make things just to make money. They only make things that interest and excite them. HL3 would most likely just end up being more of the same, which isn’t exciting from a designer or developer point of view. They need a hook to get excited about it, and until that happens it’s just not worth the time or effort to do. In the meantime, they’re making plenty of money from Steam sales.

If this is some kind of question like “you can only play this in your lifetime” I’d pick up a DSi XL or closely a 3DS, I enjoy the DS library more, so it would be a downgrade doing it there, unless things have changed since the last time I checked.

The reasons are simple, it has tons of great titles and many of them have a high replayability value.

Sega Dreamcast.

eezeebee, do gaming w Why do mobile games suck nowadays?
@eezeebee@lemmy.ca avatar

Everyone embraced smartphones and created a bigger market for games than there ever was before. Naturally when the mainstream latches onto something it becomes diluted and all about making a quick buck. Imo

The lazy answer for me is PS2, since that’s how I was able to play all the PS1/re-released games I missed out on. Pretty much all the Final Fantasy games, Chronl Trigger, Chrono Cross, Star Ocean… And then there was also FFX and Twisted Metal Black, some of the PS2 highlights for me.

I think SNES still has my heart though. I feel like most of the major titles were better (more perfected) than their N64 counterparts. The Legend of Zelda LttP absolutely consumed me growing up and is still my favourite game of all time. Many years later I find I’m still interested in games that look like they could have been released on SNES.

loops,

blindsight,

Same for me. Lots of consoles have lots of great games, and I really like the idea of the PS2 library’s depth and quality. I bought a 1TB MicroSD card for my Steam Deck OLED and loaded it with a 1TB image of curated roms from a private tracker thinking I’d play a lot of the ones I missed…

…But the only non-Steam game I’ve played is FF5 for the SNES. I’ve wanted to play it since I found out Final Fantasy “III” was a lie. The Steam Deck is the ultimate SNES RPG machine.

That and my SD2SNES in my childhood SNES gets a lot of play time with my 6 y.o. son. He’s almost able to beat world 1 of SMW solo, but he prefers Kirby Super Star, where he can beat world 1 and most of world 2.

Telorand, do gaming w What is your favourite game console?

GameCube. Lots of fun with that console, and Skies of Arcadia Legends is a highlight.

Close second would be N64. The games were really unique, partly because designers had to work with limited hardware and a really bizarre controller. Mischief Makers is my all-time favorite for that one.

GrindingGears, do gaming w What is your favourite game console?

Sega Master System. A kid never forgets his first video game system, and nothing has quite scratched that itch ever since.

greybeard, do gaming w Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld

I agree. The hardware was out of date before it was released. The controls were poorly placed to make the joycon gimmick work. It was designed for little kids hands and didn’t offer a solution for adults. The steamdeck really highlighted all these problems by doing it better day one. But for the target demo of the switch, very little of that mattered, and it was a great success. I just hope the Switch 2 learns from these mistakes and doesn’t repeat them.

sleepybisexual,

Lil kid hands? Have you seen how large a joycon is?

The hardware is fine, I’d say weak hardware is a positive tbh (all hail emulation)

Started playing Phantom Liberty today after having finally finalized my modlist. Still hunting down the source of some crashing, but still.

Haven’t played Cyberpunk since 1.63, and I am loving the changes so far. Very cool builds available with the perk tree changes, I can already tell I will probably do another full playthrough with a different build once I’ve ran through Phantom Liberty. Right now I’m playing a Tech/Body/Reflexes spec going full into explosives, combined with Sandevistan, Kerenzikov and all the dashing/mid-air stuff. It’s definitely a lot of fun, bouncing around the battlefield like a Gummi Bear on speed while everyone around you explodes and burns.

Started playing Fallout 76 for the first time this week. Been having fun so far. I’m glad I waited for the game to get this far in content.
