dingus, do gaming w How difficult would it be for a video game to allow you to use multiple monitor layouts in their native resolutions?
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

Rendering more screens is more demand on the graphics card.

Also, not everyone has multiple screens or their screens laid out in a similar arrangement and/or the same resolutions.

Beyond these though, there shouldn’t be that much limitation to the idea.

I currently play Baldurs Gate 3 couch co-op split between two screens. There doesn’t seem to be a way to do it natively, since it recognizes each monitor individually, but doesn’t see their connections to each other. I have to do a borderless window and then drag one side of it to the other monitor.

Anyway, I wish there were more built-in options to spread a game across multiple screens. Years ago I used to play Rocket League across three monitors so I could see more of the field while playing.

Some games do support this functionality; typically flight or racing sims. Best of luck getting it running.

Yeah racing sims is what brought this question to my mind. My workplace has a racing sim area which has the actuating seat and multiple monitor setup and by god thinking about it in a modern mech game just made me giggle at the thought.

ReadyUser30, do gaming w As a long time Armored Core fan, I am disappointed with Armored Core VI.

Can you recommend an older game to play on an emulator instead? Do they still hold up?

SidewaysHighways,

Everything after 3 is good. Runs well enough on pcsx2. The set of 3 that are right around nexus holds up really well and can play online with xlink Kai which is awesome. I’m too lazy to post links, I apologize

sculd, (edited ) do gaming w As a long time Armored Core fan, I am disappointed with Armored Core VI.

Ok so I haven’t completed the game yet (too busy with work) but so far I am enjoying it. Just finished crossing the wall.

I feel like AC6 feels like a good mid-point between AC4 (too floaty) and AC5 (too on the ground).

Maybe because I usually preferred inverted legs / 4 legs over tanky ACs, I feel like the game pretty much did what I want it to do?

Bosses in older AC entries usually don’t have a clear “tell” in their actions. It could be a good thing but could also cause a lot of frustrations.

I still remember Pulverizer from Last Raven, it was definitely more frustration than fun…

HidingCat, do gaming w First / Third Person without the Shooting/Combat?

Right off the top of my head is Abzu. Not a hard game, simple puzzles, but really nicely crafted environments and experience. It's a bit short but it was well worth the experience. It's quite an old game by now so probably not hard to get it on sale.

FarraigePlaisteach,

I watched a review and it looks great, thanks!

HidingCat,

You're welcome; someone else mentioned Firewatch, that's definitely a good pick too!

Seems like you want something like a walking simulator, maybe a point and click game?

There’s Journey, I’ve never personally played it but from what I gather it’s mostly walking, jumping and exploring.

Have you also tried Minecraft? You can play on peaceful, so no combat at all, you’d be mostly exploring.

Maybe Subnautica? There’s a creative mode, you don’t need to worry about survival and dying, you can build indefinitely.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Journey looks really special, thank you for the tip! I've played plenty of Minecraft many years ago - I should have mentioned that in my post. I even ran a server for my family for a while. I'm just looking at Subnautica now to see what the creative mode is like, thank you!

Stillhart, do gaming w [PC] Action RPG with multiplayer crossplay

For me, I’ve been getting into souls-like games. They scratch a similar itch to MH when it comes to skill-based play. There’s a new one coming out in a few days called Remnant 2 that looks to be on the less punishing side. Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for but worth checking out to see if you haven’t heard of it.

VulcanDeathGrip,

+1 for Remnant 2. The first one was a sleeper hit for me and my friends. I don’t believe they have stated what crossplay will be like yet though.

ObiGynKenobi,

Remnant 1 was great, but Remnant 2 was"designed with upscaling in mind", which translates to “we couldn’t be bothered to optimize anything”, so even a cutting edge gaming system can’t hold a consistent 60fps without upscaling enabled. Something to be aware of.

You might want to give Dauntless a shot. I haven't played it in a while, but it's basically a free monster hunter clone. The graphics weren't up to MH levels, but the combat is solid and the crafting system is pretty fun.

Stillhart,

Counterpoint: Dauntless kinda sucks. It’s made by the Fortnite guys and it feels like a MTX shop with a bad MH clone pasted on the top.

But hey, it’s free. Doesn’t hurt to check it out and decide for yourself.

Cavemanfreak,

It’s not made by Epic Games, it’s just the launcher they are using (to the annoyance of many of us who bought early access which had their own launcher). It was pretty good in EA, but I haven’t tried it since so I can’t say how it is now. Might pick it up on the switch to try it between Diablo sessions…

It seems to be more or less on life support now. Recycled battlepasses, not a lot of fresh content, slow rollout of promised features. Still, you can have a lot of fun with that game if you've never played it before.

I really enjoyed Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. It’s on PC and consoles, but if you have Netflix on your phone you can play it there as well.

Into the Breach would work. You can turn off the game at any point and come back to it, thanks to it saving after every turn. Plays a lot like chess, with different abilities and enemy types to keep things interesting. Highly recommend!

Wholeheartedly agree. Bought it on PC and played for countless hours. Later bought it again on Switch, played even more. Recently picked it up again, as fun as ever!

Also incidentally comes as a phone app with your Netflix subscription!

What in the world? That was not a brand deal I would have expected.

There’s a little game called Dorfromantik in which you build a map with tiles. The PC version is my go to game when I need to multitask (made long Teams meetings during covid bearable). It’s very simple, yet I have like 150h put into it. Not even that expensive to buy.

There’s also a board game version which apparently ok too.

@ernest Thanks for everything you and the team do. I just sent you a few beers. :) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin for others wanting to contribute.

shanghaibebop, do gaming w Anyone else get déjà vu playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey?

have you seen someone play it on twitch?

vraylle,

No, never watched Twitch and don't watch videos of people playing games.

Asidonhopo, do kbinMeta w Pictures not showing up?

I had commented on another post of yours that had the issue just now in case you werent aware it was happening but looking at your profile it seems like it’s only 50/50, some work just fine. Hopefully it’s a broken dependency (?) in an update on the kbin or lemmy side and gets fixed in the next update.

Entropy, do scifi w Thoughts on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes?

I was a little all over the place, but I enjoyed it none the less. I would have liked to see more of the day to day lives of the apes under Proximus’ rule too, but I get that it was a very personal story without much room for that.

I’d give it a solid 6.5, decent, but not nearly as good as dawn/rise/war.

Also Raka was my favorite character. There was an orangutan noise that played after the credits finished rolling that sounded like him, so I’m hoping that means he’s still alive and will be in the sequel.
