What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? angielski

One thing I have struggled with lately is finding good games to play. I bounce around from game to game trying to enjoy it but it just doesn’t scratch the itch like it used to. For example, one of my favorites was old school RuneScape, but it hasn’t really been giving me the same enjoyment that it used to. So then I would...

Grass,

nothing will ever top my smash bros melee hours. I could start now and I simply wouldn’t be able to do it even if I picked the game I already have the next most hours in. I am also entirely unlikely to add any hours to melee, but it still wouldn’t be feasible.

Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating (kotaku.com) angielski

Looking up those patents, the first alludes to a system where a player aims and fires an “item” toward a character in a field, and in doing so triggers combat, and then dives into extraordinary intricacies about switching between modes within this. The second is very similar, but seems more directly focused on tweaking...

Grass,

yeah now its brutal for anyone trying to make a living and excellent for anyone who already inherited a living and has more money than they could use in multiple lifetimes. I’d hate to go back to when it was just brutal for anyone trying to make a living.

Grass,

I always thought that was a joke about modders adding in big bouncy titties and the game not having much else going for it…

also schlongs of skyrim mod sounds super important for living those exhibitionist fantasies

Grass,

I just converted my other brother the other day. atomic distros are great when you are the family tech support guy. Made an ssh only user on all the family computers so I can remotely deal with most of their problems without having to actually touch it or remember their login details.

Grass,

I always felt uncomfortable with how you see a terrorist in game but on the other end of the internet was another person seeing themselves as the americans.

very “you will kill who we tell you to kill and not worry about it”

Grass,

that thong got so mich mileage in my playthrough…

Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone? angielski

I need some suggestions on what to play. Single Player games only. Most of the games make me feel lonely and alone. In most of the games, the protagonist has to deal with the problems on their own, like Control, Crysis, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War (I liked the original 6 more than the new ones, even though the new ones had...

Grass,

The pawns were so dumb but weirdly endearing

Grass,

thats literally the second easiest stealth section in the past 2 decades of gaming.

There are some out there that are actually so infuriatingly bad due to shitty programming and npc noticing you is rng and skill isn’t an option.

Grass,

I guess shattered horizon was already taken and dead…

Grass,

ads targeting the younger generation of gamers that doesn’t know what they have done?

Grass,

no line must go up, only up, up now and up tomorrow and the days after too. fire all the devs too, paying them makes line go down.

Grass,

Consoles have used different wireless tech/protocols but mostly use bluetooth now. Bluetooth devices should be able to work on pc but may require extra hassle like non standard protocol and no official drivers if they weren’t intended to be used that way. For the ones that do work the main takeaway is no additional dongle if your system already has bluetooth, but there may be addititonal input latency.

2.4ghz is kinda silly naming because bluetooth and wifi are both 2.4ghz, though wifi also has 5ghz, but it usually refers to presumably proprietary protocol over 2.4ghz and uses a usb dongle. It will generally be faster/lower latency but that isn’t even guaranteed as the 2.4ghz mentioned never refers to any standard.

The latency difference will only be noticible to cats or birds or something unless the controller tries to pass the headset audio to the pc. Bluetooth audio has a noticable delay compared to most ‘2.4ghz’ options, particularly noticable in rhythm games, games with inputs timed to audio cues, voice chats where everyone else has low latency audio and fast internet, and probably other stuff I’m not personally into.

Deciding your controller comes down to a lot of things. If the means exist in your area, try as many as you can to determine your most comfortable size, shape and layout. Other than that you absolutely must do yourself a favour and get a controller with hall effect sticks. The console companies all love stick drift. Don’t be fooled by Sony’s replacable stick controller either, the sticks are always out of stock and if you can solder you can get a regular controller and swap to hall effect yourself, both sticks, when drift starts for like $5 CAD vs $25 for 1 that will eventually die in the same way.

But probably just don’t give m$ sony or nint your money since they all get drift and I have replaced the battery and charge circuit on 8 separate ps4 controllers and drifting sticks on so so many of every big3 console controller. 8bitdo has a few stick and trigger hall effect controllers which I can mostly recommend, I have the hall stick only version of the ultimate controller and several of their older regular stick controllers. They are noted for their very close replica feel of snes dpad and face buttons but the configuration and firmware update software was windows only last I checked. I also quite like retro fighters controllers but all of their hall effect options are on closed preorder pending fulfillment. There are other highly regarded non big3 brands that I haven’t tried that seem to have pretty solid feature set and build quality too.

The used market is also an option. Arrange for testing though, and pass or haggle on drift, charging problems, filth, etc. Ifixit teardown guides for swapping parts or just cleaning the shells and button caps in soapy water with a soft rag. Watch out for devices originally sold with ‘soft touch’/‘smooth grip’/etc finish as all of them have degraded and become sticky even unopened in box by now.

Grass,

the characters look kinda shit honestly

Grass,

I think ghost trick is older than 10 now

Grass, (edited )

Many solid deals after doom scrolling the pages.

edit: actually im not even half way and I feel like every notable old game ever is on there at a huge discount, with some I am suspicious of with only the title to go off filling the space, except there is no space and its just packed. I need to sleep but I keep scrolling.

The witness 80% off working out to 10.89 irks me. significantly better games with more content are like 6 bucks. I guess when there are no achievements hinting at something being missed, you aren’t compelled to find and do the most bullshit timed challenge in any game I can remember, which increases its value… ?

disclaimer: I enjoyed the first 15-30 minutes or so of the witness then suffered through the slog of completing every last thing. Even my autistic friends that unintentionally did 100% speedruns didn’t like it which gave me the echo chamber I had desired the whole time playing.

Grass,

unlike nearly every other company in existence in any industry, they actually earned their position. It would be nice if they gave a bigger cut to devs, sure, but literally nothing is stopping devs from going on multiple platforms. I am also more forgiving of that due to their contributions to linux gaming, especially now that windows is continuing to go bonkers even after they reached the point that I could no longer tolerate it.

I only buy off steam, gog, and itch.io for some indie stuff as the rest are a terrible experience. And there’s the other part, other platforms need to be good for anyone to want to use them, because nobody will leave steam for a worse platform unless gabe dies and the supposed fuckery prevention plan fails and they go corporate and get an EA approved ceo. Even then it would likely be a slow burn like twitter and reddit. gog and itch have the minimalist store covered so even that is a hurdle. Maybe epic execs can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and figure out how not to suck, then people might use them for more than just hoarding free games they will likely never play.

Grass,

unless you mean zoom the chat with your coworkers thing, I can’t find it.

Grass,

I only remember the ea desktop app bugging out and having a terrible time trying to play with friends in multiplayer games

Grass,

even if I search ‘zoom platform’ its like the 7th result after zoom the video conferencing software. just the sad state of the internet these days. anyway I found it now and I’ll check it out after work.

Grass,

are the games from this studio any good? I only played the original which was a different one i think.

Grass,

that’s good to hear. all of the existing ones are already in my backlog for if things at work ever go as planned ever again. I own #2 and can play the rest via family share… ‘family’

Grass,

Good call. Imagine a studio that simul releases with much more well known competititon, twice.

Grass,

When I was younger and had more time to not worry about merely existing, I used to enjoy chasing the updates and trying to find every glitch and exploit and do as much silly shit as possible before patches went live.

Grass,

HAH! Ya gottem!

Grass,

I would put this in a game as an untracked quest except if you really dig around it was actually someone that killed the parent and started living as him so if you revert save and keep him alive eventually the kid will show up and some manner of altercation will happen depending on how you completed relevant tracked quests

Grass,

I would feel inclined to use it for some weird shit like if you use an undocumented and never explained method to ask characters questions outside of the choices, they’d pick up their phone and look at you with an uncanny valley/bethesda-like facial expression gain awkward animations and text you the responses even though they weren’t characters you could exchange phone contacts with.

Grass,

Not the worst logo design but up there still.

Grass,

There was nothing quite like when your parents finally let you get another game so you brought home majoras mask and read the booklet thoroughly on the dive home, then after getting control of link again after what felt like centuries to an impatient child and seeing him do flips and shit up the tree stumps

Grass,

Fucking enough “slams” in headlines!!!¹¹11one. /s

Grass,

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/85939096-8cf5-4b49-90ec-992bd4e2e403.jpegI feel like there used to be a time where we didn’t pay the canada tax on games

Grass,

I’ve not really thought about it before, but how does a dmca takedown work? Is it just the company telling the hosting to get rid of it and they comply? What is to keep someone from self hosting or hosting somewhere hard to do anything about?

Grass,

They probably already put out more patches than the devs of every other game released around the same time combined.

Grass,

Sure… I would also say that handheld design has gone way too far in the direction that the other alt-decks would have benefitted from going for just a little bit. The result is a pure no. There is no way you can make an all purpose gaming device without real buttons. And whatever core casual means I don’t think a megagimmick input system fits that description.

Grass,

It would sell easy if they didn’t use some weird hardware only on a select few PC graphics cards. Even if PC support was enabled by modders it would still sell but the hardware requirements are simply too much of a hindrance

Grass,

I’m surprised the numbers go that high

A coop PvE game for two dads and three sons?
A shooter, preferably. Any recommendations, guys? The youngest lad is 10, so as little violence as possible. Thanks 😉

@gaming

Grass,

I’ve played 12 player DRG. It’s a pretty good recommendation. Mods are pretty simple to install and work similar to subscribing to steam workshop listings.

Grass,

Dunno about Yakuza but sounds fine for all but warcraft. World of ruined the franchise for me. I just wanted more of the same. Also I thought persona was part of megami tensei.

Grass,

Did anyone ever think it was inhabitable?

Grass,

Probably the only update that brings what I would consider bad changes. Might work for some playthroughs but it’s more versatile in what you can do the old way.

Grass,

Wow that was literally one click as I was already signed in. Epic freebies you have to go through the whole cart and wait for to complete procedure

Grass,

I never noticed gog emails apart from maybe when I made the account but it could be uni’s fault… https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/5c8190e6-5a93-4624-8803-935ae2093e15.jpeg

This is all from one parcel.

Grass,

The first one gave me the impression of a sort of sequel that requires alternate timeline and some characters seemed to be at least somewhat aware of it, but I could also just be overanalyzing incorrectly. Second part soon ish on PS so I expect part 3 on PC by the time I’m 90 if I’m still alive then.

Grass,

Ace attorney anime was kinda ass sweat though and vastly inferior to the games, I just wished they continued using the same japanese voice for naruhodo/phoenix mayoi/Maya for the main games as they did for the Layton crossover. It was the live action movie actors that voiced them in the crossover IIRC and it was an excellent job that felt way more natural than generic male anime voice and generic female anime voice

Grass,

Septum always made me think septic

Grass,

It was a piece of crap anyway that had been done before in crappy flash games that predate the iPhone itself.

Grass,

The mechanically identical predecessor games didn’t have any anti user elements either. The concept predates that too. If my family had enough money and modern day iffy parenting to give their barely highschool aged kid an iphone I probably could have made quite a chunk of money porting simple games I didn’t even come up with to the platform. I hated the ios interface back then too though from trying it when friends were showing off the new toy.

A large part of what made it crap to me both then and now is whatever causes my dislike of GTA even though I enjoyed 100%ing them up to san Andreas, of CoD even though MW2(original) had a special place in my blackened heart for being my first all achievements game, or any sports game other than SNES NHL 98.

I agree with the what you called the details of the game making or breaking it however. The Spider-Man formula just does it for me. Some I just vaguely recall as being fun like older Spider-Man titles, the hulk, prototype, watchdogs, etc., but I still absolutely love gravity rush/daze 1 and 2 as well as the recent Spider-Man games ported from PS. I spent a good chunk of time curled up in a ball, rolling around on the floor while playing gravity rush 1 on ps vita to up the immersion.

Grass,

It was literally a stolen concept with a mashup of stolen graphics

Grass,

Japanese with hair dye if greying is one of the recipes for looking the same age while everyone else gets older
