Cadeillac, do games w What We Don't Talk About in "Spec Ops The Line"
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

I have avoided spoilers for this game, as I’ve been meaning to get to it. I’m worried that isn’t gonna happen, and wonder if I will get the same experience others talk about from watching it

abrinael,

Not quite. But it probably also depends on how you play the game to some extent. If you approach it like CoD and let the story take you, you’ll probably have a good experience. If you go in thinking you can figure it out or outsmart it, you probably will and it won’t be as good.

falidorn,

I’m gonna be that person and say that if you haven’t made the effort to play a 12 year old game by now, you never will. Not belittling your effort to avoid spoilers though.

My friend, I still go back and beat NES games I never played before. Age doesn’t make a difference to me, it just isn’t high on the priority list

It isn’t super difficult to avoid, the game doesn’t come up super often. Typically when it does people want others to experience it blind and try not to spoil much

falidorn,

Well I’m one of those people you mentioned. Get on it!

Unfortunately, until I find a permanent place of residence my PC will remain in storage. It’s not looking like that will be happening any time soon

NOOBMASTER,

you should have played it

Nibodhika,

No, watching a gameplay won’t give you the same experience. Keep avoiding spoilers, it is really best experienced blind, although knowing there is something to experience might weaken it.

Cadeillac,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve always known there is something to experience. Have a general idea from context clues as well, just nothing specific or certain. Maybe one day I will get to it. I’ll just jeep doing what I’m doing for now. Thank you for your response

criss_cross,

Nah you gotta play it IMO.

Just go and do it now and don’t read anything else.

Cadeillac,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

I would if it was an option

PieMePlenty,
  1. It’s been overhyped a bit.
  2. It’s not getting any better with age.

You should probably just play it when you get a weekend to yourself. It’s not that long and it’s worth playing through.

Randelung, do games w Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PC Games

Greed is a hell of a drug. Enshittification of the game industry means you buy the final edition after a few years at a sale and ignore any remasters/rereleases/remakes/reskins since they’re all obvious cash grabs and add less and less to the game.

The latest step to curb this is always online DRM for single player games. Easy off switch for old versions when you want the cash cows to buy the new one at full price.

Underrated gem

MeekerThanBeaker, do games w Goat Simulator Remastered - Announcement Trailer

They do have some great marketing.

@Dasnap@lemmy.world avatar

Wonder if they’ll do a GOG release like FO:L. It seems like it drove a lot of traffic to the platform so I’m sure CDP would be up for it.

@seathru@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I love GOG, but I hope not. GOGs lack of linux support and forcing the mod to install through their client made FO:L take more work to figure out than if it would have been also hosted on Nexus or Steam.

AngryCommieKender,

No real reason for GOG to take center stage on this one. The reason the GOG version sold so well is that it doesn’t include the latest patch from Bethesda, so FO:L works better on Windows with the GOG distro rather than the Steam distro.

hasnt_seen_goonies, do games w Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer

I can’t believe this is a real game I might get to play one day. The trailer doesn’t even look that good, I’m just excited the project survived.

Magical_Spark, do games w Ace Attorney Investigations Collection - Reveal Trailer
@Magical_Spark@jlai.lu avatar

They actually went and made an official english version for Investigations 2. Neat.

I think that with that, every Ace Attorney game is now playable outside Japan.

Cadeillac,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

I’m so excited. Somehow I ended up starting with Miles Edgeworth and fell in love, but I didn’t finish it. Reading makes me sleepy. Maybe I’ll try to finish the first collection while I wait

VaultBoyNewVegas,

Would be nice to see a new entry. I’ve been dying to see Apollo learn the truth about Trucy since finishing the second Apollo game.

Katana314,

I hate to say this, but I doubt that will ever happen.

It’s the ‘Kingdom Hearts’ issue. When you build on a plot thread across multiple games, you devalue a number of entries as a result. People want the modern convenience and superior design of recent releases, but also don’t want to be left out of central information. It’s why it’s hard to get people into the Trails series. To Ace Attorney’s credit, something they’ve done right in their games is avoid spoiling the central culprit of past games in future ones, even going so far as to only reference vague turnouts of past cases.

It really, really doesn’t help that a large number of people consider AJ:AA to be one of the least satisfying games in the series (in part only because they almost all hit a high bar). So if anyone were to skip a game, that might be it.

Defaced, do games w Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Official Reveal Trailer

Wtf was that…? I’m going to reserve judgement until we see some gameplay but damn that trailer was filled with cliche modern marvel movie bullshit.

CrabAndBroom,

This makes me a lot more worried about the upcoming Mass Effect too. I can fully see the marketing department being like “this is our Guardians Of The Galaxy!” and giving it the same treatment.

Bogusmcfakester, (edited ) do games w DOOM: The Dark Ages | Official Trailer 1 (4K) | Coming 2025

I trust ID to make a fun game, I do not trust Microsoft however so we’ll see how hands off they’ve been. Hopefully it was too far along for Microsoft to meddle with anything.

UnPassive,

Probably gonna have a season pass and battle royale mode

turmacar,

Doom 2016 and Eternal had multiplayer season stuff, but it could easily be ignored.

Looks about as shitty as I expected, considering the dumpsterfire that BioWare has been for at least the past decade. I am just glad that, for now, we still have Larian Studios making good, classic CRPGs. Here’s hoping they never get bought up by EA or other large soulless corporations.

state_electrician, do games w Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Official Reveal Trailer

They seem to explore a different style for each Dragon Age game. I loved the shit out of DA:O and am still sad that no sequel captured the atmosphere of DA:O. But I still enjoyed every DA game. DA:I in particular was a lot of fun, even though it was not Origins. So I am hopeful that I’ll enjoy Veilguard as well.

I just wish I could play DA:O again. But I don’t have a Windows PC anymore.

cmhe,

Its a bit old, but the last reports for DA:O on wine look good: appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version…

bitfucker,

Can confirm. I have DA:O on steam and running Arch linux. It works flawlessly IMHO. Haven’t encountered any bugs so far either

state_electrician,

Steam doesn’t even give me the option to install DA:O because it’s only available for Windows.

bitfucker,

For any games without explicit support, you need to force enable the compatibility layer for it. Should be on the settings menu.

brenticus, do games w Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Official Reveal Trailer

The art direction seems kind of off, but sometimes that can shake itself out in game.

The tone of the trailer is definitely not the Dragon Age vibe. Lighthearted Oceans-style crew selection to deal with what looks like some sort of world-ending calamity? Yeah, that’s not right.

Things could work out but I’m sure not feeling optimistic.

micka190,

They’ve been slowly going in that direction with the writing since DA2, unfortunately. Inquisition definitely had more of it than the other 2, but this is almost fanfiction-levels, honestly.

Zahille7,

Why do you think Varric is still around?

DarkThoughts, do games w Sid Meier’s Civilization VII - Official Teaser Trailer

Probably even more dumbed down cartoon toddler graphics than 6.

HeavyRaptor,

Let’s hope it isn’t. Even though civ 6 had multiple interesting aspects and in certain ways it was objectively better than 5, I just could not look past the ugly presentation.

FrostyCaveman,

Same. Civ 5 was nice to look at, for example the swirly white clouds for the fog of war. In Civ 6 that gets replaced with… an ugly brown parchment thing

DarkThoughts,

Same. And I tried, even during a free weekend. But I couldn't even fix it because all the mods that changed the colors or unit sizes seemed to have been outdated and abandoned.
Hopefully Ara will be good, which at least looks to be very promising.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Man, scratch that, reverse it. I’ll take Civ VI’s aesthetic over V any day of the week.

smeg, do games w Flashpoint Archive 2024 Trailer (Free Flash Game Archive)

Link to their actual site. Looks like a safe sandbox for running flash as well as an archive of old animations and games. Time to dig out some classics!

ExtraMedicated,

I was browsing the list of games last night. There are so many that you can just scroll for hours.

smeg,

I’ve just had a play now, a bit clunky but works well enough on a Steam Deck
