Game isn't bad overall. Biggest downside is that the open world content is sleep-inducingly easy.

I consider this a selling point!

HidingCat,

I like exploration and generally mucking around in a MMO; this is why I like base GW2 instead of the expansions (which had me dying a lot). If I wanted a challenge, I'd do WoW raids or play a Souls-like.

RAmen ! Totally agree.

LoreleiSankTheShip,

Personally, I couldn’t get through the main and faction stories because of that. I liked the stories well enough, but getting through them was so tedious because I couldn’t even use all my skills. I don’t know how end game is, I have one max lvl character with a bunch of cp, but I rarely play an mmo for end game content.

If they had like a difficulty slider for the open world content, that would be enough to make me return, but I don’t want to shut down my brain while leveling, that’s not fun at all!

Coeus, do gaming w Any Analogue Pocket Enjoyers Out There?

I got mine in the first batch over a year ago and it was defective but they got me a replacement fast. I’ve barely touched it since I got it though. I hardly have time to play video games anymore.

arsenics, (edited ) do gaming w A love letter to Threes!

I probably have played like 3000 Threes games over 3 different phones over the years; it’s still my favourite Commuting Game of all time, and indeed probably one of my top 5 games of all time. I have never beaten it and probably never will.

2048 can’t hold a candle to Threes and it upsets me that people remain mostly ignorant of the latter’s existence.

Question is if it works Linux :)

Sharmat,

I can’t speak for the EGS version, but the game itself works fairly well.

Madiator2011,

I own original non steam version :)

worfamerryman,

Yeah it works. Well at least the last time I tried which was a few years ago but I imagine it still works fine.

Animortis,

But how do you handle add ons?

worfamerryman,

You will have to search for how to do it. I never played with addons. I’m a pretty casual mmo player.

Sharmat,

You can also use Minion too, just instead of downloading the executable, just get the jar file and run it through the terminal.

Animortis,

It’s been a while, but iirc it didn’t really work. Couldn’t find the game or something.

ShinyBiscuit,
@ShinyBiscuit@beehaw.org avatar

Minion is the standard now. Makes life ever so much easier on Windows. I really hope it works for Linux folks, too!

Artemis,

I run it through Steam as a “non-Steam” game via Proton and have also run it with Lutris. It runs on both 100% fine, if not even better than Windows. In fact, this game running great has convinced me to finally drop my dual boot!

Toxinflora,
@Toxinflora@lemmy.ml avatar

that works as well, but there is a linux client called heroic that works for both epic and gog which helps makes things simpler for setting up the games to work, so i think that would be easier than using proton or lutris

If anyone’s on the fence, its definitely worth your time to check out.

Master, do gaming w What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?
@Master@beehaw.org avatar

I want a GTA style game set in the early 1900s Lovecraft world mixed with a procedural world builder like Covert Action had. So the overall world would be set but the inside of buildings and tunnels and etc as well as the overall story would change. Then release DLC for each of the Great Old Ones that each came with 6-8 major plot lines. With 8 player coop. No lazy pvp bs. PvP can be included but it’s not the focus so as to not give a shit about anti-cheat or stat tracking on a master server.

Then implement a scab system like in tarkov but for cultists. You turn PvP on and a cultist can come play in your game doing things.

mtlvmpr, do gaming w What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

Planetside 2 but fantasy/medieval.

chahk,

Um… Isn’t that EverQuest?

felixworks,

Not really. Planetside is an FPS with fluid combat. And it doesn’t have MMORPG-style quests or environments. I think another way of saying the idea would be “Chivalry with persistent maps and an overworld tying them together in some way.”

TheRoarer,

MMO Mount and Blade then, yeah?

megopie,

The people behind foxhole (think rune scape/planetside/but early 20th century) are making something to that effect called anvil empires.

Can really recommend if you like a story-driven MMORPG with a nice amount of different builds and lots of achievement hunting and stuff to do. It’s gotten lots of addons by now and basically you can roam all around Tamriel.

PotentiallyAnApricot, do gaming w What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

I want to play a sci fi horror game that’s got violence, terror and mysteries, but that doesn’t rely on quick reactions or precise timing to beat. I want the full experience of creeping around somewhere derelict and haunted, full of blood and physical plot devices and all the rest, solving puzzles and exploring, doing all the usual stuff, but without any time pressure whatsoever. I want the enemies to give me time to think. I think that if that was done right, in a clever enough way, it could make for a really strange and scary experience for being more deliberately paced. Maybe it’s a dimensional thing. Maybe the monsters exist in a different kind of time. Maybe they can only react to the player for some reason, or take turns. Or maybe the player can leave or hide or manipulate the way things occur, but always has go back to and solve the situation from some angle. I feel like the right person could come up with something really cool. I’m not that neurologically well suited to the kinds of games I like the most, so I just want somebody to invent me a very slow, scary, ridiculously dense game that’s got resident evil or dead space or soma vibes but relies on different combat mechanics somehow.

Cethin,

Have you played the System Shock remake. It seems to be exactly what you’re asking for. Enemies respawn, but you lower security on a level by destroying cameras and CPU nodes. Once it’s zero, there’s no more respawning enemies and you’re free to explore. It’s fairly slow and more tense than horror, with one of the best villains ever made in gaming.

PotentiallyAnApricot,

I’ve heard really good things about system shock. I’ll have to give the remake a shot sometime when I’m able.

LoamImprovement,

So a horror game in the style of SuperHot? Or like, the ethos of the game is you’re being hunted or stalked, but it’s treated like a puzzle where you can set up stops and traps ahead of time, and the win condition is you set up well enough that you keep it at bay while you escape?

PotentiallyAnApricot,

Yesss! Both of those would give me so much joy.

GeneralRetreat,

Maybe Amnesia: The Bunker is something to look into. I’ve not played it myself yet, but the reviews I saw made it sound like it might meet most of your criteria.

hey, nice, always wanted to give that one a try. thanks

@nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de avatar

There aren’t a lot of genuinely great mobile games, but Threes! is certainly one of them. What I like most about it is that it actually understands what it means to be a mobile game: Short rounds, no constant focus required and it can be put down at any time since continuing a round is pretty so easy as the complete state of the game is always visible to you.

And for everyone who likes Threes!, I’ll also recommend Twinfold. It’s a game clearly inspired by Threes but with some dungeon crawling and rogue-like elements added on top. Maybe not as tightly designed as Threes!, but with just as much love and detail put into it and its presentation.

Haven’t thought about this game in years. But I loved it.

This prompted a reinstall and 2 quick games where I remembered how bad I am at it.

FlyLikeAMouse, do gaming w A love letter to Threes!

I genuinely believe that Threes! may be a perfect game - if anyone can tell me a single way it could be improved, I’d love to hear it.

I just had a look and, over the 9 years or so I’ve had it, I’ve played nearly 3000 games. I may have a problem.

bijuice,

It can be improved by not sending me 5 consecutive 2s while I’m fighting for my life on the last row of the board 😂

3000 games is mad! It really is addictive.

grhyn,

I have 27k games. I’m basically using Threes for stimming, not really trying to get any records, haha. Just very calming block sliding. Got 3072 only around 50 times and was close to 6144 a couple of those, but never got to it. Maybe one day I’ll go read some strategies on it and would try to achieve it, but for now I’m just content with what I have.

captain_samuel_brady, do gaming w What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

A remake of Façade, but with ChatGPT or similar.

Lojcs,

Some sort of 3d action game that splices its music to sync its beats to the action.

PotentiallyAnApricot,

I think Pistol Whip does something like this.
