Aww man I used to have so much fun playing split screen on this. Simple chaotic fun with your friends

All my friends are big MK8 fans so when I try to get them to play this with me while split screen they all look at me like I handed them a dead rat.

Still enjoy playing with them though lol

SteakSneak,

Each of these entries has a reason to play them. Sure mk8 might look better but there’s still lots of fun to be had in the older titles. I’ll always have a soft spot for double dash and mkds

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I always love revisiting the other entries. It’s nice to mix things up everyonce and while. I don’t think i’ve done a screenshot for it but i mess around with friends a lot in MK7 too

SteakSneak,

The online on mk7 was so broken at launch, everyone used that glitch to skip half the map on that Wii sports resort map😭

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Damn. I wasn’t there for launch but that about sounds like a Mario Kart glitch. I remember when I first found out about Wii’s super shortcuts. That shits crazy

SteakSneak,

Yeah you ever watched summoning salt? Mk Wii speed runs look insane!

I have actually! His 0 Star Super Mario 64 video is one of my favorites. It motivated me to try and speedrun the game for like a week before throwing in the towel lol

SteakSneak,

Aww man at least you gave it a go 😆 I don’t know how people can get that good at games, it’s insane to a filthy casual such as myself

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It’s crazy. I got as far as clipping into the pillars in Peach’s Lobby and then got stuck on the BLJ (and that’s the easiest part). Having the skills to do that is some insane human level shit. I’ve always had huge respect for speedrunners.

SteakSneak,

Yeah same, what are some good games to watch speed runs of?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t watch many anymore admittedly, but outside of Super Mario 64 i’ve always found Minecraft and Portal Speedruns to be interesting. The OG Mario Bros. ones are too just because of how the scene is now

Mostly played Resonance of Fate. The story is surprisingly slice-of-lifey and the character interactions are pretty charming. The gameplay tho is a bit dull. I’m 15 hours in and more or less have been repeating the same thing for each battle, so I’m not sure how long I’m gonna play.

Also just started Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon.

I've been absolutely obsessed with the 2014 reboot of Thief over the past couple weeks. I'm having so much fun just sneaking around and stealing stuff and finding new hidey holes lol. It's making me really want to try out the older games. I don't know how I slept on it for so long because it's been great.

GammaGames,

Have you played Dishonored? It’s an immersive sim with assassin magic, one of my favorite games!

CharlesReed, (edited )
@CharlesReed@fedia.io avatar

I have! It's a really great game and I love it too. That's probably why I'm having such a good time with Thief, since the gameplay is very similar. I've only really played 1 though; I did play Dishonored 2 once, but I couldn't get into it like I did the first. I still need to play Death of the Outsider.

GammaGames, (edited )

That’s surprisingly similar to my experience! I played the original a handful of times when it released but never beat 2 because it came out at a time when I was busy.

Somehow I did end up playing a bit of Death of the Outsider and really enjoyed what I saw, I should revisit the series to give them a fair chance

Panties, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 21st

Got an infection and couldn’t get off the bed much for a couple days, played lots of Silksong. Would have been bored to death otherwise

I’ve been on a 3D platformer binge.

Just finished Castle on the Coast and was pleasantly surprised. It starts off feeling a little janky, but after the first 30-60 minutes realize it’s intentional and you are a silly giraffe parkour GOD. Some later levels get into abstract platforming and refreshingly different mechanics than I’ve experienced before. Worth checking out if you’re a 3D platformer-head.

Currently playing through Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Never played any of them before, but always wanted to. Just finished the first one and it was quite fun, although I did not like the final boss. There should have been a checkpoint after the first phase (2 keys phase). Looking forward to finding out how they developed the mechanics from there in 2 and 3.

Telorand,

Thanks for the rec! I have Castle on the Coast, but it’s been low on my “play later” list. I’ll move it up!

I absolutely love the combat in FF7R.

It also took a bit for it to click in my head. I'm not sure exactly when ... but once it did, there was no going back for me.

I know it’s not what you asked for but i think you would enjoy the doom games, specifically eternal but 2016 is also great.

It has great campaign, great music, arguably the best combat system in a shooter game, it’s highly replayable, 20€ with all the dlcs when on sale and when played on higher difficulties it becomes extremly technical.

It also has a multiplayer mode but i don’t know too much about it

0li0li,

Oh, don’t worry, I think 2016 and DE are the best boomer shooters ever made, and play most other shooters to their music (I’ve been a fan of djent since Chaosphere).

slamphear,

I’ve been a fan of djent since Chaosphere

Wasn’t expecting to see this here, but same! I got into Meshuggah shortly after Chaosphere came out, and they’re my favorite band of all time over 25 years later.

xactoman, do games w Looking for a PC FPS with deep gunplay, where NPC enemies are humans

Not human NPCs but Hunt Showdown 1896 has the best gunplay in any shooter I’ve ever played, not even close.

0li0li,

Oh yeah? Interesting!

That’s PvPvE only right, or is there offline PvE for loners too?

xactoman,

nah unfortunately but i still recommend, game is a rush

sigmaklimgrindset, do games w Day 431 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

It’s so interesting that the Roche fight is where you felt the combat click, because it was the exact same for me! The game got waaaay more enjoyable once that happened, haha.

I know people dog on the remake for not being the OG/overpriced/a scam/whatever, but I really enjoyed my play through.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it’s because it felt very 1-2? Like, he has a pattern for his attacks I felt like so that helped it click

i również będę obserwował ten wątek, ciekaw poleceń.

Ponoć certyfikat FairTrade jest niewiele wart.

Evotech, (edited ) do games w Looking for a PC FPS with deep gunplay, where NPC enemies are humans

The finals is great.

They have a bot mode

0li0li,

You don’t say! Online only tho right?

Evotech,

Yeah, seems like the bot part if only in a practice arena for now. Rest of the game is online PvP

But it’s very fun

A bit of googling and [here it is](Hasang A/885 — Google Arts & Culture share.google/WQf5YFNiVuWpLQOes)

“A-885 ‘Hasang’ — Smallest steam locomotive ever used in Indian sub-continent. Built by W.G. Bagnall Ltd, Castle Engg Works, Stafford, UK, in the year 1897. This 0-4-0 narrow-gauge locomotive spent its working life in the Ledo Coal Mines in Assam”

@Zachariah@lemmy.world avatar

a little crazy

Patches, 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.

Has the accessibility improved in the decade plus?

The game always wanted me to always know the color weakness of the enemy as a hard requirement, and I physically cannot do that. I am color blind.

I wanted to like it, I tried using a color changing overlay, I tried using tape on the screen to assist. No cigar.

Escape From Tarkov.

It’s been in beta for 10 years but 1.0 is coming out 15/11/2025

90% sure you will be able to buy it on steam when that happens

Nibodhika,

Like MurrayL@lemmy.world said in other comment:

Purchasing Escape from Tarkov directly supports Russia’s war in Ukraine

DioramaOfShit,

Why bring politics into gaming? It’s a good game. Acting like not buying the video game is going to bankrupt the Kremlin is pure ignorance. If you’re a us citizen you are directly supporting multiple wars every time you pay taxes so big fuckin deal.

Nibodhika,

I’m not a us citizen, and there’s a big difference between the government uses my taxes for war to a game will use my money for war. You have no choice over the taxes, but by knowing this and still buying the game, you’re saying that your hours of entertainment are more valuable than people’s lives. And yeah, not buying the game won’t bankrupt the Kremlin, but it’s like throwing gasoline to a fire, you’re fueling the war, imagine someone whose house is on fire and throws gasoline in it because “the fire won’t extinguish if I stop throwing gasoline in it”
