Nurse_Robot, do games w Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.

… No it’s not

atomicpoet,

Totally is. FFVII was a watershed moment for JRPGs on PSX. Same is true for Trails on PC.

It’s just that recognition in the West for FFVII was instant. Meanwhile, due to localization, it took more than a decade for Trails to get recognition.

Maybe this is a better comparison: if FFVII is The Beatles, then Trails is the Velvet Underground. Beatles sold massive copies immediately. VU took awhile, but now everyone knows they’re just as impactful as the Beatles.

ramble81,

That’s a bad analogy. I just asked 4 of my friends (25-65) if they knew who the Beatles were. Everyone said yes. Then I asked if they knew VU, everyone (including myself) had no clue who that was.

This isn’t going to be as big as you think it is.

bytesonbike,

Oh boy I’m glad you said that because I didn’t want to sound like an idiot. I’m 40yo and I have no idea who the VU are, nor does comparing them to the Beatles make me excited to look them up.

GammaGames, do gaming w I am just wondering if my latest 2 games are fun and wondering if I should allow donations on my site

How do you play them? I don’t see any builds or even screenshots to see what they look like

danielhanrahantng,

The first game has a linux x86 executable in its folder in the repository and the second game has a linux x86 executable in this directory in the link target/release.

danielhanrahantng,

Both games are text based

Plucky Squire and Grapple Dog are on my wishlist 😅

Other than that, not the most appealing bundle for me.

Also, plugging !humblebundle.

Your username checks out. A Rare choice, one even might say.

Wild_Mastic, do games w I just beat Bloodborne for the first today, and it's probably one of the best playthroughs of a video game that i have ever had and stories of one as well.

One of the souls like i enjoyed the most for lore and setting. The story and plot twists are incredible. So sad there is not a sequel.

Kolanaki, (edited ) do games w Favorite Modded Console?
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

PS2 because the mod I used was nothing more than some styrofoam in the disc ejection sensor to do hot swapping.

Although, I also liked Morrowind on my modded xbox, becsuse it used the same file system as the PC version and could be modded if the mod was just an .esp file made in the editor and you manually added it to the load order .ini.

As someone that never plays games on release and always waits for them to be on sale, I bought Silksong on release.

They priced it perfectly imo.

Yeah, I can be pretty frugal with game purchases and will often wait for sales, but this one I didn't even have to think about. They're going to sell a bazillion copies at this price.

I’m not saying that it’s not irresponsible to grow to the size that they have, but I don’t think people understand the staggering difference in the size of the development teams between GTA and Hollow Knight.

MobyGames lists 4,771 people in the credits for GTA V and just 85 for Hollow Knight. Honestly most of those on Hollow Knight are translators and testers, people who weren’t working the full length of development time.

As a reminder, 99.9% of the cost of a game is number of staff * salary * time.

ddplf, do gaming w The Epidemic Of Gamers Forcing Themselves To Play/Like a Game.

I get it man, you’re playing competitive online games and not want to be stuck with randoms, but that’s just the way it is.

But I don’t suppose I have to tell you that you really shouldn’t feel obligued to tell people what should and shouldn’t be fun for them in games that they spent their hard earned money on?

School and job is exhaustive my man, add it to it how stressful and hard to learn online games are and it should be easy to understand that most people may not be willing to put extra effort into being competitive in them, but they still want and deserve to have fun in them on their own rules.

Like I’ve said it the post it’s not the “playing bad” that makes irritates me, everyone has a different skill level. What I’m trying to say is that people that run head first into the safe room in L4D and abandon their team, or people that play games like HD2 on the hardest difficulty and just run off from their team and spam stratagems. Clearly these types of players don’t want to engage in cooperating with other players yet choose co-op games. They end up not having fun as solo diving enemies ends up in death while the rest of the team has to cover for a +1 .

Every example you just mentioned is a demonstration of “playing bad” in my book. What would you descibe as “playing bad”? Just aiming issues? Or reaction times? Surely that would be to reductive.

Using competitive online games as an example in my post was a mistake. Think D&D. You can’t really play the game 100% how you want. You need to keep the other players (+DM) in mind. If your rolls suck or your plans don’t work out in the end doesn’t annoy me at all -its just a game after all. What I do find annoying is a player treating D&D as a single player RPG, running around on their own, trying to make the story resolve around themselves and not cooperating with the party. If that’s how a player wants to play the game maybe they should stick to living room D&D or Roll20. If said player joins a table at a local hobby shop some form of etiquette and understanding of the game is required. If they decide to play as a murderhobo that constantly ruins the experience of the other players they will be reprimanded or even kicked out. Instead they should either choose to join murderhobo games, stick to aforementioned living room D&D or start up a videogame. Play the game how you want by all means I don’t mean to take it away from anyone. Just know the when and how is my point. Just because you bought siege doesn’t mean you HAVE to play ranked. You like the game casually or play off work/college then join unranked or quick-play. Gamers today feel like they have to fit tightly in their respective communities instead of playing the games how they want to and that ends up ruining their teammates and ,most importantly, the player themselves.

Ok, thank you for clarifying, I get what you mean now. As I understand it you’re mad at players playing egotistically and treating others as NPCs. I would say that that is a more general social issue, that isn’t limited to gaming. Sadly, you’ll have to just deal with it.
