I don’t remember where we got it, but back in the old days when everyone was trying to replicate the success of Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2, we had School Tycoon. It’s certainly no Rollercoaster Tycoon since it was specifically aimed at a younger audience, but I find it still enjoyable enough when you want to just kill time.

Definitely better than Deep Sea and Space Tycoon. That’s a definite. We had those as well and I could never figure out how the hell to actually properly play them.

Z is a fantastic game but some of the levels infuriated me, no matter how well I played the AI seemed to have an answer… Turned out the difficulty goes up a notch after each loss since the devs expected you to git gud.

Krudler,

Oh wow, I wasn’t aware of that!

I remember initially falling in love with the concept of the game and the humor and the graphics, but then feeling absolutely crestfallen that I couldn’t accomplish anything in the game!

But then I had my very first big gamer epiphany - you need to be aggressive in Z! So not only was it one of my big surprise favorites, I had one of my most rewarding aha! moments as a gamer with it

i use controllers for RTS games on pc. one stick to scroll the map, other to select units. my wrists are too weak to use a mouse for several hours

Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2. There was a box set with both games in it, and the box art for DK1 caught my eye, just this cartoonish grinning demon. Of course I got it home, and then noticed the box art for DK2, which certainly got my attention and definitely not because I have a fetish for thighs.

!deleted269 avatar

Myślę, że nie można tego postrzegać tylko przez pryzmat konkursu popularności, szczególnie już posiadanej, bo niby kim był dla opinii publicznej Mati zanim został premierem? Dodatkowo brałbym pod uwagę, że to stanowisko to może być polityczny wyrok śmierci: PiS zrobi wszystko, żeby sabotować działania, trzeba wprowadzić ciężkie zmiany a do tego model gospodarczy YOLO według którego jechał PiS zaraz odbije się na wszystkim, np od grudnia dramatycznie skoczą ceny jedzenia bo wróci VAT na nie. No i PSL ma wszystko do stracenia: powrót PiS może już realnie oznaczać wyjście z EU a to dla elektoratu PSL byłaby największa możliwa tragedia.

Vodulas, do gaming w Lords of the fallen. Are you finding it very difficult or not? Let's try understand why

Is there a jump button?

Really though, I’ve started playing the Demon Souls remake and the controls feel dated. As long as the controls are good and the level design is solid I think I would enjoy it.

insurgenRat,

There is when sprinting. although it’s shared with interact but that only really comes up when sprinting to ladders

Vodulas,

So kinda like the DS games. I can deal with that

Kengo on PS2. Five bucks.

Way late to the party, but I picked up Lost Kingdoms for the GameCube for $5 back when GameStop still had bargains. One of my favorite games to this day.

Did you play Lords of the Fallen 2014? I did play that one and it felt much easier than the Dark souls at the time. It made me wonder if this new Lords of the Fallen 2023 would also feel, or be, easier than the current gen of souls like titles.

insurgenRat,

no I didn’t. I think this about on par with ds1

as a kid i played keyboard and mouse for all the games i played at the time (backyard sports franchise and other humongous games like freddi fish, putt putt etc.) then i moved to ps2 and then later 360 so now i am much more inclined to use a controller

jbcrawford, (edited ) do gaming w Do you prefer playing with Keyboard or controller more, and for what type of games?

Increasingly I find it depending mostly on what the game was built for… I was raised, if you will, on PC point and shoots, and so my preference is for mouse and keyboard. But even a lot of AAA games these days that are console ports have noticeable pointer lag and aggressive reticule gravity or other aids. I find these really frustrating since they interfere with the 1:1 sense you get with motion on a mouse, so I’ll switch to a controller instead.

Hogwarts Legacy is an example of a recent AAA release that has such heavy reticule gravity that sometimes the best strategy is to just hold an analog stick forward and not move it (e.g. in the broom races)… I hate this kind of thing but I feel like it’s something you put up with as a PC gamer due to the popularity edge the consoles have. At least it tends to be games where fast aiming isn’t a huge factor.

Crotaro, do gaming w Do you prefer playing with Keyboard or controller more, and for what type of games?

It depends on how big of a role precise movements play (that are controlled by mouse on KMB). And how much I gain from the analogueness of controllers. Take Death Stranding for example: Shooting is relatively few and far between and it rarely requires high precision when you shoot (most weapons are either splash damage grenade-types or fully-automatic with a generous enough amount of ammo). The trekking along to deliver packages feels much better on a controller. So DS is controller territory for me, even if it involves shooting.

Red Dead Redemption 2? Couldn’t imagine playing it half as well with a controller, because most guns have a very low rate of fire, gunfights are a lot more lethal and (thanks to the “Scroll Wheel Movement Speed” mod) I am able to casually meander at different speeds even while getting all the benefits of playing with keyboard and mouse.

bearwithastick,

No, already tried that. Unfortunately doesn’t work…

EvaUnit02, do gaming w Do you know any good JRPGs with engaging gameplay similar to SMT?
@EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

tri-Ace games have fantastic combat mechanics, imo. Give the original Valkyrie Profile, any Star Ocean (later games have more intricate combat), or Resonance of Fate a spin.

Noxar,

This is the first I hear about tri-Ace games. Thanks!

First person or shooter games I use mouse and keyboard for better control. I couch PC game so it’s actually a wireless trackball and keyboard I use. For anything else it’s controller.
