Wow that’s amazing. Only like 60% of German rail is electrified, for comparison.

Dark cloud is one of my favorites, I go back and replay it at least once a year. The second one was good too but it doesn’t quite have the same vibe as the first

ieGod,

Never played the first but the second had some mind numbing gameplay loops that didn’t do it for me.

damdy,

Both are great, but the drastically changed a lot in the 2nd. In UK they even called the sequel ‘Dark Chronicle’ rather than ‘Dark Cloud 2’.

At least the 2nd one removed the system where you could permanently lose your best weapons if you forgot to repair in time, they just become unusable.

Everblue 2 for the PS2 is one of my all-time favorite games. I play it about once a year. The original was an EU only release thst I didn’t get to play until a few years ago. It also had a sort of spiritual successor with Endless Ocean 1 & 2 for the Wii, made by the same developer. However, the first one didn’t have any of the treasure finding mechanics and there was no real threat to the player at any time. Neither series really let you walk on land, so to speak. The Everblue games do have above water parts, you return to the island between dives to talk to people, sell treasure, sleep and such, but they’re prerendered images that are more like a point and click adventure. There were a couple pc games I played around the same time that were made by independent developers that never really took off.

I vaguely remember playing Untold Legends back in the day. It was good.

Why would you not get the bundle if you want MKW? It’s $50 that way.

Agree with Gordon Freeman 100%. I might also suggest the Guide from Terraria and the CS:GO player models. Maybe also the player character from Noita, the goat from Goat Simulator, Quote from Cave Story.

These ones may be more niche, but for me personally I would also add Guy Spelunky, Princess Remedy, and Worm (Worms Armageddon).

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

The legacy console editions of Minecraft have always done a good job in my opinion as a tutorial. It’s hard to skip it (or at least was for me) and it really walks you through the basics. Then you have the choice of learning more or just… going out and playing minecraft

Great read, as always. A little broken link on the previous posts section (forgotten “]”).

Nice to see MS decided to make their (remored) pricing quite aggressive. Especially since it is sold with the dock included.
The base Xbox Ally should be as powerfull as the Deck. It is basically the same chip with 5 more watts of TDP, which can easily be done on the OG deck with a little bios mod.
The biggest one will be a serious blow to the Deck as well as other handhelds. The specs are clearly superior on all aspects, while still being very competitive. Depending on the autonomy and how much bloat was removed, I may be really tempted, despite being a pro-Linux… And probably install SteamOS (or Bazzite) as soon as it works on it.
I hope this will prompt Valve to update the Deck to newer hardware, or at least allow to officially tune up the APU power envelope to 20-25W (vs 15W currently), especially when docked, so we can enjoy higher definition gaming without sacrificing too much graphical settings to the Frametime gods (E33 looks kinda bad on the Deck, especially when docked 😂).

I too was wondering about MGS4 in the midst of all of these Konami announcements, since Volume 1 was so long ago now. MGS4 is just about the only reason I still have a PS3.

My wife and I rolled credits on Blue Prince. It’s a great puzzle/adventure game, but I don’t think either of us have the patience to see everything it has to offer. It would have been nice if they doled out more ways to control the RNG earlier and more frequently, but they did not.

I’ve also been continuing on with Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the first one. I just had a night of debauchery with a priest in order to progress a main quest line, and then had to give a sermon hung over, which went surprisingly well.

ZephyrXero, do games w 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened

Still not ported to a console. SteamDeck gives you a console-like experience, but it is not a console

The Steam Deck brings about a conversation about what a console is. To me, it’s something that plugs into the TV and doesn’t require KBM, and in that regard it very much is.

ZephyrXero,

The key ingredient that separates PC from console is you can deploy code custom optimized for the fixed platform hardware. This is why you have to go up a tier in GPU to have an experience on par with what a console would have because it’s running generisized code.

Where did you find that information?

ZephyrXero,

30+ years of studying game and software development lol

So you made it up.

ZephyrXero,

    Hot tea for me. I try to get enough rest but keep getting awaken in the night.

    defaultusername,

    I just boof pure caffeine to wake me up.

    Sometimes I’ll brew a cup of tea instead, though.

    @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    caffeine pills are severely underrated, you can just have a bottle by the bed and down 100mg without even needing to stand up

    defaultusername,

    As long as you only ever take one at a time. Caffeine is pretty easy to OD on with pills.

    Swedneck,
    @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    that’s true of like, every single pill ever made

    defaultusername,

    But not coffee or tea

    punk_princess, do games w What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion?

    absolutely not Warframe.

    Darkenfolk,

    Yeah haha. They made the tutorial slightly better nowadays, but your still getting thrown in the deep end after the Vor quest line.

    PonyOfWar, do games w Classic Gaming: Retro Gaming Growing Up

    I was about 2 decades later, but I bonded over games like Pokemon and later made many friendships in minecraft. Wish I could revisit that time. I think it’s less about any particular era in gaming - it’s about being young. Kids are still forging friendships over video games today - just different ones (although, at least in the case of my nephew, Minecraft is still one of them :D).
