kurcatovium, do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

I can’t say one or the other globally. It is very much game dependent for me. There are open worlds that are just wonderful and it’s joy to play them and there are others whose world is empty and useless and that sucks.

One of the best executed open wolrds is old Gothic IMO (Gothic 2 is great too). Sure it’s probably ugly and bland by today standards, but the world is absolutely amazing. It’s completely open from the start, but player is so weak it is probably good idea to play semi-linear at the beginning. But nothing (except for tough enemies) stops you from exploring whatever and whenever you want. And there are tons and tons of things to explore. Hidden cave with loot? Shortcut connecting two roads? Place with very rare alchemy ingredient at the end of narrow valley? Shadowbeast lair? There is so much love put in there I still have cravings to play it even though it’s like quarter of century old game… Quite the same can be said for e.g. Morrowind which is another absolute gem from early 2000s.

But there are also open world games where open world either simply sucks or serves no purpose. I’d have to think about which games fall in there, because once it’s like this I tend to uninstall and forget the title…

Pringles, do games w Stop Killing Games needs EU citizen signatures!

How many countries need to reach 100% for this?

Seven countries need to reach the threshold and 1.000.000 signatures are required in total. The seven countries goal has already been reached, so right now only signatures are needed, regardless of the countries they are coming from.

@joel_feila@lemmy.world avatar

That’s called corromon. But yes in several ways the old sprites were better

drmoose, do games w Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?

Old graphics sure but mechanically Pokémon games kinda suck, especially the older ones. I’ll be honest I love the collection and monster part of the game but everything else is simply bad and I usually give up after 10 hours. It’s such a pointless slog.

Done it and reshared a lot back when the campaign started. Can’t believe the “gamerzzz” are so freaking lazy to reach the needed goal. The campaign makes it such an easy step be step process…

The issue is that a lot of people are not hearing about the campaign as Ross has contacted quite a few YouTubers who have unfortunately mostly ignored his letters when they could’ve made a massive difference in exposure. Shame on them for not seeing the bigger picture :/

The campaign definitely deserves way more attention with how good the posters are for it.

Heroic is so great! I don’t have much games on other platforms then steam, but when I do I always use heroic.

Interesting, I might check it out and see how it compares to something like Playnite which I use.

I can’t sign it more than once ☹️☹️☹️

finitebanjo, do games w Stop Killing Games needs EU citizen signatures!

I’m willing to make a deal. You help me get citizenship and I’ll get you another signature.

P.S. I don’t do anal.

Grimy,

P.S. I don’t do anal.

No deal.

LucasWaffyWaf,

Help me get citizenship and I’ll get you another signature, plus the anal this fella doesn’t do.

MudMan, do games w Developer interview: my Q&A with the Heroic Games Launcher team

Flavio: "The guys from GOG are great, and they contacted me directly once to talk about Heroic, and they totally support the project and what we are doing, especially on Linux. I would say we have a really good relationship with them."

Paweł: "Adding to what Flavio said, we currently have the affiliate deal with GOG, so any purchases made using our link support the project financially."

Huh. I didn't know this. This seems like a big deal. Makes me even more willing to consider Heroic's GOG support semi-official, considering they support autopatching and cloud saves under GOG. It really feels close-to-native, especially given how sluggish Galaxy can be on Windows for large libraries.

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

It really is!

Galaxy is essentially abandoned, sadly.

Stardew Valley

daggermoon, do gaming w Let's hear both sides

This game I had on my wishlist came out recently. All 12 reviews are negative. Ouch. I’m thinking I shouldn’t play it.

Rin,

There’s only 12 reviews, you get 2 hours within 2 weeks of buying to return the game. There’s no downsides for you to try it

daggermoon,

True, but the game is a sequel and I didn’t really like the first one. I was hoping the sequel would be better. It seems not.

Iseja,

Which game?

daggermoon,

It’s a horror game called Dollhouse. The sequel is called Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror.

based_raven,

You won’t know until you try it. Don’t pay attention to what others say. I made this mistake countless times with games then when I eventually played them, I loved them. Give it a go. If you don’t like it, refund it.

daggermoon,

Perhaps I’ll give it a try. I’d have to finish the first one first.

The people who are first to review are those that strobgly dislike it and closed it early (or with some point to make). Everybody that strongly likes it is busy enjoying it and won’t review until they take a break or are done.

Give it time and see the reviews in a couple days.
