Got a NES with Mario and Gradius as a Christmas present. Opened the present with Gradius first and had no clue what it was but that would be the first game I ever played. Then running into the goomba in Mario like everyone did :)
The first couple of FFF were interesting but now there are more niche things showing up. Don’t get me wrong, I like everything they make but I am not sure how much of it I will be using. I haven’t dug too much into circuits except the basics and flipping inputs will make me lazy. It was something you had to build around, being more creative. That’s my feeling right now but once I get the flipping I know I can’t live without it. Oh well. I can’t wait to sacrifice my family for this game… Again.
I hope they fix multiplayer. Played the story and some more with friends in 0.9 and the delayed map switching and other bugs we ran into killed it for at least one of us. Good thing that person still wants to give it another try at release.
I would have agreed with you here if it wasn’t for me having to reinstall my server because of a faulty harddrive. A couple of years ago I just remember headaches and silently screaming on Linux while fixing my server but this time, just a couple of months ago I tried another distro and it was awesome. Everything just works, just like windows. I am actually considering switching my gaming desktop to dual boot Linux because of this. Maybe one day…
When focus is on gameplay and fun instead of graphics, that is where the magic happens. I also enjoy my switch but it doesn’t get as much time from me as I wish. Them indie games on my pc sucking all the time but the same statement about joy is there. I have a beefy pc that can play all AAA titles but what do I do? I play the stuff I could play on a 10 year old pc because those games are the most fun for me.
And even today there are no other games that do PvP as well as DAoC did. I am playing guild wars 2 and that is as close an experience as I have found in any newer mmo.
I don’t have too much time to play because of parental duties but every second I have goes to this game now. Looking forward to the next time I can sit down and play a map, solving the puzzle, gaining some resources for meta progression. It is so good.
