That’s pretty much been the landscape of major commercial gaming since I’ve been alive. Just replace Fortnite and Overwatch with the current popular game. Doom, Diablo, Minecraft, etc.

The MOBA genre as we know it today simply took Warcraft 3 and tweaked the gameplay a bit with the original DOTA mod. But then stuff started ripping it off and we got League of Legends which, from what I could tell when these were rerelatively new, was the same thing as Dota but with different characters.

Palworld gets a lot of attention for duplicating some elements of Pokemon, but the whole game is basically a reskinned Ark, which itself is just Rust with more gimmicks.

The BR genre started as an Arma mod, then became a stand alone game, which Fortnite shifted gears from some kind of PvE game to add the BR that is dominating now, and everyone is trying to copy that. As a 40 year old gamer, it really is starting to feel like there is nothing new under the sun.

They keep finding innovative new ways of removing skill from the game and making more shit up to RNG.

That’s why I quit playing. First shot accuracy should have never have been fucked with.

Those still exist. Use the community server browser instead of matchmaking.

The missing vehicles thing is a major one. Remember CS_Prodigy in 1.5/CS:S? Give the CTs back the APC. IDGAF how utterly useless it is.

Hmm… For surf, specifically, I am actually wondering if you can even set the proper cvar commands for the air control needed for it to work properly in the current iteration of CS… 🤔

It might be easier to find servers for a different game, like TF2 despite having more or less the same base.

Does it have to be PTDE?

I could play through it. I’m 40, don’t talk and know the game like the back of my hand. But I’d prefer the Remaster since it’s not all fucked up in Blighttown or the last half of the game.

It would be complete silence ATM since I don’t have a mic.I am planning on getting a pair of lappel mics once I receive the gift card I won last week, tho. Not sure when that’ll be, but I was planning on streaming damn near everything I do once I get that.

They killed dead-angling

Uh… What?

All they did was make it an option in the controls like in 3 instead of always being on. You can definitely still dead-angle in DS:R if you turn it on. Or just don’t use lock-on.

Because you like Call of Duty so much it’s the only game you ever play? 🤷‍♂️

I hate this shit, and it really sucks because I like competitive games, and all the competitive games made since, like, 2015 have been loaded with FOMO MTX bullshit which the devs exckusively focus on while balance and bug fixes get tossed to the way side. They are banking on players having more fun spending money than actually playing a fun game.

The first Saint’s Row?

Maaaan, if you think that intro is nuts, you gotta play The Third. The Third’s intro makes the Fast & Furious franchise look boring.

I hella wish the first one got ported to PC tho. I really liked the “silent protagonist; except for one-liners after a boss fight” thing they did. I still remember the first one going down the elevator after beating some chick that was basically sexually harassing you and you’re like “Ugh… I hope that didn’t give us herpes.” (or something to that effect; it’s been forever since I played and that line is one reason I wanna play it again). The other reason being that the city was an amalgamation of the cities I live around. They even have a recreation of the Water, Wealth, Contentment and Health sign from Modesto.

Good. He doesn’t need it. His shit already kicks ass.

I’m loving the current unstable beta version. The basements are dope as shit. Especially if you have mods that add random events like air strikes and nukes, making the basements even more useful.

Yeah, I don’t know what happened to him (AmbiguousAmphibian? That’s how I heard about the mod lol) but I haven’t had fire spread down to mine. Worst that happened was I got the plane crash event, waited a day for shit to settle down, go up outside and then just immediately died to absolutely nothing. 😬

I felt that way about 40/41 or whatever it was on when I first found out about the game. The most fun stuff was in the MP disabled version and I had gotten the game for myself, my sister and my oldest friend… We still haven’t played together yet 😮‍💨

I have only ever played Stardew with a controller so I’m just wondering in what way is it not good? Because for some menus the right stick is emulating a mouse? Or targeting things?

May I suggest turning the always face target (or whatever it’s called) option on? It makes a big difference in how using tools works with a controller.

Nope. There is a question about who actually owns the rights to NOLF. Somehow.

I am skeptical of how well done it’ll be. Do they have any games that aren’t just dialogue heavy, QTE adventures? Becsuse even those simple styled games I have played from them have a lot of jank.

Not to say they are bad games; the genre allows for a lot of leeway since it’s story focused. But competitive multiplayer? You want that shit as smooth as possible.

It seems that Steam group doesn’t know wtf it’s talking about. It’s got no MTX, no plans for MTX, and is not even a GaaS/Live Service game.

I’m from a time when complex games could lead to softlocking your progress if you made the simple mistske of assuming the game was programmed logically, so I avoid using those myself because I don’t want to get half way through the game only to be unable to go the rest of the way becsuse RNJesus forsook me. 😅

But yeah, they count.

Speaking of Project Zomboid I often, but not always, play that game with the infection turned off or set to bites only at least because I don’t want my run to end just because I made a tiny mistake or something really janky happens with the user interface that gets me scratched.

I set the infection to take like a month to kill you, and have a mod that lets you research and develop a cure. It makes it so that being bitten isn’t an automatic end run, it just changes my priorities to finding everything I need to stay alive.

I also play Project Zomboid with a game controller which isn’t how the game was originally designed but luckily someone on the team decided it was worth coding and I love them for it.

Oof. I actually came back to it because I saw they added controller support and wanted to try it because I much prefer using a controller these days for comfort reasons. I gotta say, I really hope the new chsnges they are planning make it better because right now the controls for controller kinda blow. Controlling the game is purposefully clunky as is with a mouse and keyboard; the controller exacerbates it. 😞

I’ve seen plenty of Dark Souls randomizer runs that have to be restarted before leaving the asylum at the start because it didn’t spawn the key needed to leave. But that also was quite some time ago when these things were fairly new.

Those were basically the reason I played the game so much back in the day. The lightsaber combat was insanely good. I especially liked the ones that only allowed the Force Jump and Force Throw powers, so it was pure melee combat and not just throwing each other around or zapping a dude with lightning from across the arena.

My brother used to shoot me in the back in Doom co-op. But if PvP wasn’t intended it would be turned off.

Reminds me of playing Rainbow 6 on the N64. It had co-op, with no PvP but it had friendly fire so my friend and I would clear out all but one terrorist so the mission wouldn’t end, and then try to kill each other in a now mostly empty map. I once dodge his bullets because it was one the earliest games where your model would bend and move as you aimed, and my controls wonked out and made me look strsight up in the sky so my dude was bending over backwards as my friend shot over me lol

I grew up playing NES, where it was super common for either player to be able to pause the game. Pausing and unpausing right as someone is making a jump will never get old.

It should not be legal for a product such as this to just cease existing due to an agreement between IP owners ending.

It’s like Disney saying “We agree you can make this Mickey Mouse game using our characters, but it can only be sold for 2 years.” Fucking why?

Uh oh. You quoted a Disney movie. Prepare to be litigated.

They sure are. I can’t believe anyone still wants the name. It is clearly cursed. I mean, it is literally the brand that nearly destroyed all of video gaming.

Given the nature of how the site generally works and how most peolle appear to use it, shorts would be watched more often than a 20+ minute video. Most people just mindlessly scroll for a minute or two while waiting on something else. Only the losers like me have the time to watch a long video.

The only destruction I remember in FC2 was the fire spreading system. 🤔

I also can’t believe Rust didn’t make the cut, considering how popular it still is and it having a destruction system similar to Teardown and Red Faction.

If you understand how to play single player, multiplayer isn’t really much different aside from the other human players in most games.

I only know up to the 360, which had the battery casing on the outside you could easily remove with a clip latch. But it also had notoriously bad power issues, not iust with the controllers but the console itself. Faults in the PSU and overheating were the two most common causes of the infamous RROD.

The only credits DF has are right at the start. Just Tarn Adams and his brother, who made the music for the main menu screen.

I wanna know what it improves or adds to the formula from the first game.

Kolanaki, 17 dni temu

It’s not, really. The multiplayer mode is a totally different story and much more of an arcade version of the main game experience. If not for wanting to unlock the white kitsune mask, I would have completely ignored it because it kinda sucked with all the magic BS.
