I was going to say congratulations on hitting 500, and how I always enjoy these and I’ve actually learned a number of things. And stuff.

But there’s a ton of well wishers who beat me to it. So, uh, fuck you!

Thank you! It’s been a lot of fun doing these. I’m just glad I’ve gotten a chance to talk about games I play. I like to help people broaden their horizons, and I think in a way this has helped me broaden mine too. There’s been so many people who have suggested new games and other stuff that it’s helped me try new experiences (ironic considering all the Halo it’s been lately though).

So, uh, I guess what I’m saying is fuck you too!

Shadow of War is even better. Are you planning on playing that at some point too?

perfectduck,

What did you like about it? I ran out of steam when it felt like more of the same

v4ld1z,

It was quite some time ago when I played the game, so I might not remember everything.

  • The story felt like it was a good continuation of the first title and somewhat tied in to the books/movies.
  • The combat was fleshed out more with more moves and weapons
  • more interesting uruks, personalities, afflictions they can developed as a result of the way you killed them first
  • the sieges were a cool addition

It was definitely more of the same in a way but it was executed well. There was that whole controversy around real-money loot boxes to pull good uruks from that you could employ to guard your fort, in a way being pay 2 win if you had money to spend on loot boxes. But at least that was removed and made free.

I just realised the game came out like 7 years ago. Where does the time go…

You didn’t like the game too much, I take it?

I always hear people praise the Shadow franchise, and not to put Mordor down, but get the feeling War is the one everyone is talking about, so I do plan on playing it. I know a bit about it and it sounds like a lot of fun

v4ld1z,

It’s pretty much the same game but better. Mordor feels a little more dated in comparison, but it still stands on its own compared to War. If you liked Mordor, you’ll definitely like War even more

Too bad this game’s nemesis feature is locked behind WB’s patent…

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I would have loved to see that in so many games. It pisses me off that they have it locked up like that

TevTra,

Patenting a game mechanic should be illegal. Somebody from n*ntendo should be investigated for patenting the summoning gameplay element.

I really wished there are more games that implement something like the gambit system from FF12. My dream game is some monster / pet collecting and battling game plus the gambit system from FF12. now if only n*ntendo wouldn’t be such an @ss

prole,

Check out Unicorn Overlord (I know, awful name).

Definitely a different kind of game than FF12, but the way the combat works reminds me quite a bit of gambits. Really fun game too, with beautiful art style.

TevTra,

Oh, it’s one of Vanillaware games with their distinct art style! Doesn’t seems to be released on steam though. Too bad because it seems like a perfect game to play on the steam deck.

prole,

Bummer… And yeah, it is, I put a ton of hours into it in PS4 remote streaming to my Deck

Tanking with shields (force/kinetic shields in sci-fi games, not physical shields)

I liked when games let you face-tank damage with your shield (like in Mass Effect, before Andromeda where they made shields weak af and even removed shield gating) and not having to care for healing (unless you lose all your shields)

I don’t know if it’s due to the souls-like trend, but it feels like game developers need to make punitive games nowadays

BoxOfFeet,
@BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world avatar

Battlezone II had force shields. They used your vehicle’s weapon energy. The shields used energy, and also taking hits would drain your energy. You needed a ship with fast energy regen to make the most use out of them. One ship from the X-Mod mod, the Jade Falcon, could actually regenerate faster than the shields drained. So you could keep them on all the time, and still shoot some. It wasn’t invincible by any means, but that regen speed plus the fact that the radar ping twice as frequently made it my absolute favorite ship.

Do we see his buttcrack?

I think it’s just his undershirt but now that you point out I see it

Congrats on the 500! And damn, that Orc looks like he came straight from a goth rave

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It’s boring work being an Orc. You definitely need some sort of hobby to keep busy. So why not try goth raves?

catfeeder, do games w A screenshot that is the old evidence of my first ever attempt at a game.

YEAH KILL PUSH THE SKELETON!!!

Here’s a screenshot for my first “game” on LOVE2d:

The creature just follows your cursor and can teleport if you press a button lol

After many years I finished myself a few weeks ago! Nice gameplay, and funny you mention Arkham which I played for the first time also a month ago and it’s definitely recycled mechanics, which is good!

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Shadow of Mordor is around 2014, right? I wonder if they took inspiration from WB work on Arkham Origins

Day 500! Awesome! Thank you for posting all of these. I rarely comment, but I do love seeing them. :)

vladmech, do games w Day 500 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Grats on 500! It’s always fun to see what game you have up next, thanks for the ongoing shares

aeronmelon,

keeps going back to Minecraft and Mario Kart 64, because superior games

A Spider-man game with the swinging mechanics of the PS2 Spider-man 2 game. Or just a remake of that game. The new ones are fine and fun but the older game absolutely nailed the web swinging.

Fun unlockables by doing some cheat.

Imagine telling a FIFA player that you used to be able to have a dog as referee by doing the Konami code. And it was not behind a fucking paywall.

International Super Star Soccer for SNES had this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYaHPm-yDl8&t=63

commanderschlepper,

Dude I miss unlocking fighting game characters. Now they’re all purchaseable… Like you literally can’t just earn them from beating the arcade mode - that is if the game has an arcade mode to begin with these days

prole,

I think the last game I played that did it was Smash Bros Ultimate, and that’s barely a fighting game imo

OneWomanCreamTeam,

It’s a platform fighter.

The number of “cheat codes” that were actually just bonus content. Like I remember there were codes in Diddy Kong Racing where you could change all the power-up balloons to any color, like all red or all blue. I also remember there were codes in Mechwarrior II that unlocked a few mechs. Like, there were NPCs in a few missions that were a Tarantula, a Battlemaster, and there were elementals in one level. You could cheat to play as them, but the Battlemaster crashed the game.

Good times.

ordnance_qf_17_pounder, (edited ) do games w A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again

Mechanics from the Mercenaries series. Destructible buildings, getting weapons and vehicles dropped to you anywhere at any time. Being able to ally with different factions. Oh, and the ability to call in airstrikes. Bunker busters, cluster bombs, artillery barrages, etc. Just Cause and Metal Gear Solid V are the closest things to that. But they just aren’t the same.

And the ability to just fly like Superman. I’d like that in more games.

dil,

whyd you write my comment for me

dil,

I want to see more modular building for vehicles and bases and fun traversal options. So many open world walking sims, it gets old. Or fun mounts that are more than just faster walking. (Rdr horses but fantasy beasts that ride differently)

dil,

No one brings planes into sht, why don’t mmos have magic planes, idk if seeing it in random anime as a kid changed my expectations but we should have ww2 magic based planes. Bothers me so much that fantasy societies are supposedly so smart, have such advanced magic, but couldn’t come up with magic cars. Like suspension, engines, etc. are just too complicated for them.

mrgoosmoos,

they’re just a really nice person
