Dishonored (1) is my favorite game of all time. I’ve put in so many hours across every console I’ve owned since it came out in 2012. Some of the best DLC story expansions of all time, too. Glad to see it still getting some love and mourning the fact that we’ll never get another game.

THERE ARE BOOKS!?

Wow that looks like a blast. I just finished my ~fifth playthrough of Bioshock: Infinite last week and that game looks like it would slot in right beside that. Thanks for sharing!

IIRC you still get the low-chaos ending if you only kill the targets. It’s just by going wild and killing everyone that you get high-chaos, and I think this fits in the moral framing of the game.

I do agree with your gripe that D1 gives you a lot of fun ways to kill people and challenges you not to use them, while at the same time giving you very little nonlethal tools. They addressed this well in the sequel IMO, but I did also love the challenge and the temptation knowing that these enemies would be so easy to defeat with a rat swarm but I just shouldn’t. Like I said, keeps with the moral framing about the slippery slope of mindless revenge IMO

I understand what you’re saying (I think) but you know that… you can kill everyone, right? The worst the game does is throw a few more enemies at you (to kill) and some moral characters say mean things to you. Pretty standard RPG mechanics, IMO. It’s just a choice and like I said, the narrative framing sets you up to be a highly-trained stealthy assassin, not some mass-murdering juggernaut. But you can do that if you want

Similarly I could not use the tools the game gives me

Offers* you. There’s even an achievement for completing the game with just a sword and pistol, no upgrades or powers ;) Choices!!

PS5 still has no games. It’s an anomonly. Even after 5 years and dozens of games, the console still has no games. Wow. Truly one for the history books. I can see why Sony is already talking about releasing the PS6.

Glad to have sold my Index this past summer. Prices are gonna plummet once V.2 comes out

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

It’s possible and FWIW, that would be a damn fine game to be remembered for. RDR2 was phenomenal and made even better by the fact that online never really caught on so it could just exist as its own thing, unlike GTA V which is also a great game but also inseparable from GTO:O at this point that no one even bothers talking about the great single player of the game

For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?

There are already some huge maps out there, Just Cause 2 and 3 both have maps at around 1000km^2^, and those games are beloved by their players. But if the next Cyberpunk game was announced with Night City now being the size of an actual large metropolis, say like New York, would you say that’s too big? What determines what...

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Its not about being too big but too little stuff to do IMO. The first Assassin’s Creed wasnt even that big but felt like a wasteland going from one side of the map to the other

At least its mostly timed exclusives these days.

Wut? We’re mad now about not getting DLC? GTA V was a great game that’s still a blast today. I spent many evenings in front of my PS3 playing the single player for years, never touched GTA: O once and never felt the need to and still believe I got my $60 back in 2013 out of it.

Similar story with RDR 2. Unless GTA 6 is a huge step down from both those games in single-player playability (I’ll wait for reviews obv), I’m not going to lose much sleep over spending $20 more than I spent 13 years ago for the previous game.

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

But I’d still argue the solution is to cut costs, not increase prices.

This is the solution moving forward and is probably what most studios are doing right now (see: publishers shelving low-profit studios, massive layoffs, etc.), but the issue is that the games launching right now with $70-100 price tags have been in development for years. Their budgets were written under contract during the boom a few years ago, they can’t just “unspend” that money, but at the same time, they’re probably seeing that gamers are being a lot tighter with their wallets these days.

I’m obviously never one to praise higher prices for the same thing, but I at least get why major releases are feeling justified to charge a higher door fee for the base game than to gamble on the freemium market (See: Concord).

@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

And you may ask yourself “my god! Where are the games?”

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not a complete collection unless they include all 7 games.

The Last of Us

The Last of Us Left Behind

The Last of Us Remastered

The Last of Us Part II

The Last of Us Part I

The Last of Us Part I + Left Behind Remastered

The Last of Us Part II Remastered

Trick question, does a release of all releases containing itself make more money for a 12 year old franchise with 2 stories but 7 releases?

PP_BOY_,

Came here to say this too. No shame to OP, Fatal Frame is an awesome series and if this is inspired by it I’m sure it’ll be great!

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

You’re right Ubisoft, I am pretty comfortable not owning your games 🥰

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Same with Far Cry which is a shame because it used to be a really fun dumbshooter series. I got FC6 on sale last month and had to slog through it, I swore off the franchise after finishing the game and haven’t touched it since, even though there’s plenty of post-game content left for me.

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Well you can’t pick up enemy’s weapons for one. Running out of ammo just means going to the loadout menu and selecting a different weapon

I didn’t play it at launch but can attest that I was just shooting the delivery driver because it took so long for him to get out

This reply made me chuckle

this is always how it starts. first a post, then a whole announcement

Obviously homeboys first HL3 hype round. I will boil and eat my work boots on livestream if anything called “Half Life 3” gets released in 2025. Screenshot this

Do you have any recommendations for casual games?

After starting work, I feel so tired every day, so I just want to play some casual games. Recently, I’m playing survivor-like games like Vampire Survivors and Darkchaser. They’re simple and fun, but after a while, they get a bit boring. So, I’m looking for other casual game recommendations, preferably single-player games...

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

I played through My Friend Pedro over the weekend when I had a few hours to chill. I can’t promise that it’ll keep you preoccupied for long but I really enjoyed it

In a bit of a pre upgrade slump, what do you recommend?

The 9800X3D just came out, so I’m looking to upgrade my 2017 PC to join the modern era, which means I’m waiting to play Baldurs Gate 3 (runs, but not ideal), Dead Space Remake (poorly optimised), Space Marine 2, Cyberpunk, Metaphor etc when I build my new rig in a couple of months....

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

The Witcher series

The Metro series (Exodus is the most open-world)

The Assassins Creed series

The Far Cry series

All have plenty of titles that are playable on a 9800

Sony has the worst track record of anyone to be talking about “safety”

What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game?

Hi guys, I have the hunger for more history games. I have to say that usually I’m not a huge AC fan, but last summer I played Odyssey and I’m a huge ancient history nerd and I think that the game and the period were represented very well. (The Story was kinda meh, but serviceable). What other AC game would you recommend for...

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Black Flag, followed closely by 3. It doesn’t hurt that those were released right at the peak of my interest in gaming, but I replayed BF within the past two years and it still holds up super well

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah lol. This seems to be a popular opinion in the larger gaming community. They really nailed the pirate life

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

It’s actually pretty crazy just how hard that game flopped. I would have always thought that a company like Sony could’ve just brute-forced such a big project to achieve some success (or at least break even), but 25,000 units sold is almost unheard of for a game as expensive as Concord.

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely #1. But you can’t ever make any reference to it looking like Big H in the game. Just make it so people say “… is that supposed to be Hitler?”

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Funny because I noticed the haptic feedback for the first time recently after owning my PS5 for over a year and was instantly looking for ways to disable it. I don’t trust an unnecessary vibrating motor not to fuck up the parts of the controller I actually care about keeping functional and the Dualsense battery life is abysmal enough as it is

rdr2 question

Finally bought this on the steam sale, playing on steamdeck. Im all about open world games where you can do whatever you want. I hate being locked into “missions”, escort quests, etc. I like a game having these as an option to do at my leisure however. Im several hours in and the environment looks amazing, would love to go...

Once you make it to Valentine (youll know when) the game pretty much gives you the reigns, but until then, as others have said, the tutorial is pretty long and guided

@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

I pre-ordered one (1) game ever and that was Watch_Dogs in 2013 for the PS3. Was enough to teach me to never do that again

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Man, I’m glad that people are enjoying the game as much as they say they are but I tried my first play through earlier this year and it was terrible. I saw almost no difference in the amount/type of glitches between what I experienced back in January and what I saw online when the game first released a few years ago.

Fans Are Sharing The Most Frustrating Scenes In All Of 'Star Wars' (www.ranker.com)

Star Wars is a beloved franchise that has delighted fans for decades, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. However, sometimes things you love can have flaws. In this case, MAJOR flaws, frustratingly major flaws. Fans are sharing which scenes in the Star Wars movies they find...

@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Mine is “somehow Palpatine returned” and nullified the entire message of sacrifice and redemption from the original trilogy

Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?

Personally, it’s Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to “I was bullied once” and that’s it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful...

PP_BOY_, (edited )
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

What?? Faith might be the only interesting character in the whole FC series. I don’t think you understand the character’s backstory at all, TBH. The original Faith was the Seeds’ sister who died young, so the brothers kidnap young women in the cult, drug them (I forget what the name of the drug is in the game), and convince them that they’re Faith Seed. Eventually that woman dies so they replace her with another. It’s horribly tragic and, in my opinion, is leagues above the standard character writing of the Far Cry games

How I bought Steam Deck OLED ~25% cheaper from Steam (gearsrealm.com)

Just sharing my method on how I bought my Steam Deck OLED for 3/4 of the original price. I was skeptical when I read about it, but decided to try it and it took me a few good hours trying not to screw it up, but it worked out in the end. Maybe someone can benefit from it, but it has some risks.

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

I mean props to the OP but if you read the article they didn’t buy a Steam Deck for $440… It’s pretty much just getting lucky flipping CS:GO skins
