Today’s game is Fallout New Vegas again. I was going to share a gorgeous pic i took at the top of the X-2 radar dish, but i went with this one instead because this stupid ass protectron for whatever reason in death decided he wanted to lag my game down to 2 FPS and clip around. So now i’m sharing the screenshot i took of...
Me too, its good to see it. I wanted to actually join in myself, but I didn’t want to take away OPs show, and I didn’t want this community to become people just posting daily screenshots of games they’re playing. So I opted to not join in.
But I enjoy seeing OP post these, even if I don’t agree or like every game choice.
To be fair, basic skills for being a human seem to have become a black art that only few can master. So expecting them to be responsible parents is actually probably a bit too high of an expectation. This isn’t an excuse to be a bad parent, of course.
Toxic Positivity is a phrase that doesn’t refer to gamers online behavior in game, but rather the way that some will violently defend a product or company from any criticism like they’re shilling. Like how gaming media and online forums were trying to villanize the people criticizing Concord before that spectacularly failed.
Its like you aren’t allowed to say something that isn’t positive about games anymore (not even negative, even neutral comments are taken as “negative” and must be silenced at all costs). I mean, certain games like Star Wars Outlaws, Concord, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, etc.
Kinda like how the average Lemmy user acts with Linux.
$200 extra for reflections between cars in GT7 or slightly better shadow resolution is not worth it IMO.
My PS5 already collects dust as it is, since there are next to no games that actually make use of its hardware that I cannot already buy on PC to run at higher settings.
Today’s game is Halo CE (Sorry to people who like to guess the game. This one is a bit of a trick). This is in fact not Ocarina of Time, this is me and my friend playing a Halo CE map that looks like Ocarina Of Time we found on the steam workshop. The controls were a bit glitchy (kept forcing me to target him), and I drove a...

Same with why people play League of Legends or Genshin Impact.
Destiny 2 hasn’t been good for a long time. I haven’t played it in years and my friend who still plays shows me some stuff and its just depressing IMO. Nothing like what expectations were after Destiny 1 finished.
It is addiction. Addiction to the adrenaline of the gameplay elements, that’s literally how games like Destiny/League/Genshin are designed. The “loot box” mystery loot rewards is literally predatory and designed to abuse the psychology of the people that play those games to keep them coming back for more.
Destiny especially revolves around loot. And you get randomized “mystery” loot. I would know, I played the first game and the second game until the Shadowkeep expansion, then I didnt buy other expansions. Because why would I? Bungie deleted stuff I paid for.
Welcome to the Eurogamer 100, a list of video games that aims to reflect their ever-changing nature. Rather than ranking games by their influence or significance, the below list is a suggestion of the very best things you can play at this moment, according to us....
They could have just put the normal LoU2 and I wouldn’t have batted an eye. I didnt like LoU, but putting the Remastered version is just straight up shilling. It didn’t need a remaster in the first place considering the remaster came out only a few years later with barely any changes.
Watching this trailer gives me hopes that we can Sonic this thing! Unfortunatly I have a sinking feeling it’ll be another Lion King, where they completely ignore the community. Ich drücke uns die Daumen!
This isn’t going to be fixed. It would take too much work to actually fix it. Maybe they have enough time before April 4, but that is extensive reshooting. They’d pretty much have to trash all of the video and keep just the audio probably.
Fallout 3, New Vegas, Elder scrolls Oblivion are my three favorite games of all time If I had to put my finger on them. But it’s not enjoyable anymore to simply download them and try to play through them again. There’s just something about trying to replay them and it just doesn’t work. Maybe I spent too much time playing...
OpenMW counts as a remake of Morrowind, kinda. It only changes the game engine though.
But like, officially? Pretty unlikely. Which is fine, the old games are still good, easily available, and very playable. I’d rather that than Bethesda’s new games get delayed in favor of remaking old ones, and then the remakes completely change what the old games were into something they were not.
Some do it just to meme or be funny. Especially ones that make these kinds of posts.
The ones you really have to worry about are the ones that get mad when you mention something about a character that is not accurate. They will publicly execute you. Worry about those ones.
The thing abaout “waifu culture” is that most people do not actually think or act like fictional anime characters are real people. They do it to troll, or be funny, or act stupid, whatever. Like circlejerk subreddits or other online boards where there is some joke that gets perpetuated that everyone in the community thinks is hilarious but everyone outside thinks is stupid.
Yes, there are a tiny few that do, but not a significant number of people actually think that way.
It seemed like it would be a cheesey movie with some dry humor and I was okay with it up until the girl character called Jack Black “a massive toolbag.” Thats not what I expect from a movie oriented to children, and that made me immediately drop any interest I had left. Then the rest of the trailer somehow got worse with the llama scene, whatever that was.
They should have made the movie animated in the same style as all their commercials, with the characters in a Minecraft style skin based on their real world appearance. Have them start and end in real life, whatever. But boy is this not going to be good.
This looks like the 90s Mario movie all over again. Or the Sonic movie – before they fixed Sonic. Like, even the Resident Evil and Tomb Raider movies are probably better than this and those movies were generally very inaccurate to their source material, and not well receieved.
It is September now which means my wife has decided it is fall and time to celebrate 2 months of Halloween. Anyone have and spooky game recommendations?
Typically you don’t want to move the camera around too much without the player’s input because it can easily induce motion sickness or simulator sickness. If you ever played the 1.0 release of Layers of Fear then you might understand, the main character’s drunken hobble moved the camera very significantly which I believe was later patched to be less or tunable in the options menu. But doing this to player movement should be fine.
It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing “Return of the Obra Dihn” and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I’m actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don’t coddle the player that...
I am not sure how handholdey it might seem to you, but Danganronpa 1-3 were pretty good at keeping me guessing what would happen next, but it is also good at giving the player the illusion of actually solving what was happening themselves. V3 was both the best and worst in this regard IMO. There are very few times where something is obvious or very easy, and likewise few times where a huge leap in logic is made or something is very obtuse/hard to know.
If you haven’t tried them, maybe look intonthem to see if you’d like them?
That’s unfortunate. But I suppose not every game is made for every person to enjoy. The first was a game of its time, and the rest followed the first.
Maybe you might like Master Detective Archives RAIN CODE a bit better, since it has some elements of similar gameplay, but also has, perhaps less “shock value” than when the dust settles on cases in Danganronpa.
EDIT: I didn’t see you were talking about V3. Yeah, lots of people don’t like V3 for various reasons. I wasn’t a fan of the end of the first case either, but I still played through and it was okay, but then the ending I just didn’t like at all.
I don’t play WoW, but WoW doesn’t need new graphics. Its graphics have aged just fine, and reworking the graphics could pose a problem.
There is a lot of content in WoW that would need to be completely redone. Like, the engine would need major work, models and textures, all of it. And if youre changing all of that, now the sound quality might sound low because it fit with the aged graphics but the new graphics bring the expectations up quite a bit. Before you know it, Blizzard would have to completely remake the entire game and all of its expansions. And we won’t even get into storage space increases.
Then there is the great divide. What do you do about people that play on hardware that the new graphics wouldn’t support? Split the playerbase? Load only players with the same graphic style into the same world? Program a new feature of the engine to overlay the new graphics over the old and keep everyone together?
Big cost for next to no financial gain. Not going to happen.
I never played this game but I watched gameplays on youtube and I must say without insulting someone who like it that I don’t like it because it looks like unfinished game to me compared to other games in terms of graphics.
It is a game flooded with child players that lost its identity when it stopped being a tower defense and instead copied PUBG but with other licensed IPs.
The game itself is fine I guess, if you dont ever interact with its insufferably annoying community.
HD remaster of the first Croc title will be released for “all the current consoles and PC". There’s no specific release date beyond “2024” at the moment....
I like the idea of the digital museum. Would be nice if remakes of games would include stuff like that about the original. If the remake isnt faithful to the original (faithful like the Resident Evil remake from 2002 was faithful, or something like Metroid Prime Remastered but an actual remake), then at the very least remakes should include a copy of the original game playable on the same device, either as a port or via emulation.
Yes, but emulation is a very easy work around. There are even some open source emulators that allow commercial use without credit required and only require source code to stay open and post any changes made to the source code online. For most games, the default emulator will run like 90% of games perfectly fine and if proprietary code for porting to consoles is an issue, a compatibility layer can be written that isn’t open source can work around that.
Whats I am saying is, its such a low effort thing to do that shows the company honors and values their legacy content.
In person? None. I ain’t about to spend all that money on gas to drive to some place where I for sure am about to get my controller handed back to me in pieces. Definitely not when I would probably need a respirator due to attendees reputation for less than ideal hygiene.
Online? Name the game. Dead By Daylight? Pyramid Head main reporting for duty. Halo? Any of the Bungie games, any map. Smash? Melee or Brawl only, Final Destination no items. Forza? I can handle any of them but prefer Motorsport 7 with no assists enabled. Heck, I’m even down to do score competition in Silent Hill The Arcade via Teknoparrot.
Most of the time I play for fun. I don’t try to be good or win or whatever. But that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to, and if I get a challenge I ain’t declining out of fear of losing. I might decline if I can’t be online at the desired time or for long enough to complete the match though.
Didn’t Ubisoft or Disney send people to Disneyland and pay for vacations or whatever in connection with them being invited to play the game? In a legal context, that could easily be seen as veiled bribery. It psychologically makes people more inclined to speak positively because it abuses their desire to be grateful and show gratitude. Basically, a company that wants honest feedback would not do that. Especially not the company with a direct financial incentive to gain from the most expensive marketing campaign they have ever done.
All the gameplay I have seen looks mid at best, and bad at worst. Especially when comparing it to previous Ubisoft games such as AC Black Flag. Comparing AC Black Flag to Star Wars Outlaws demonstrates modern Ubisofts profound lack of attention to detail. Facial animations, water interactions, stealth, all of the major mechanics of the game demonstrate significant degradation in Outlaws’ gameplay footage.
These are criticisms purely based on the technical aspects of visible gameplay footage. This isn’t even touching stuff like story or writing.
This right here is why critic scores are almost always higher than audience scores. Becauee the audience doesn’t care about being blacklisted because they honestly scored a product.
Companies have a financial incentive to get high scores. Review outlets have a fincancial incentive to get review copies for free. Put two and two together and it really isn’t hard to see why the critics give whack scores.
Clock Tower, continuing from Clock Tower 3 but actually good
SimCity, based on the original.
Neon Genesis Evangelion, based on Neon Genesis Evangelion 2: Evangelions
Record of Lodoss War, based on the Dreamcast game
Policenauts, but only Kojima can be the one to make the next game
Tresspasser, based on the original
Danganronpa, but more like the first 2 and not v3, though I wouldn’t mind another try at Ultra Despair Girls with an actually decent story
John Romero’s Daikatana
MechAssault
XENON - 夢幻の肢体 (XENON - Fantasy Body), I wouldn’t mind seeing a remake in the style of something like Life is Strange or a similar type of story game for this one, though I would demand it keep the original 90s art style
Yeah, it is, but it is fundamentally different from MechAssault. MechWarrior is a simulator and MechAssault is an arcade shooter. Its like the difference between Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon, theyre both fun but they’re also very different games.
Remaking a good game is stupid. Remake the bad games and give them another chance at success.
I would definitely want a reboot of Daikatana more than a direct continuation. Daikatana has a lot of cool ideas that just weren’t realistically achievable when it came out, but certainly now are pretty easy to implement with modern development tools. The game has been “off the market” so to speak for so long that making a sequel would be stupid compared to just rebooting it entirely.
So both Life is Strange and Until Dawn have what’s called the butterfly effect something that’s kind of a questionable concept at best but it’s somewhat real. Telltale was famous for games like this as well. But yeah it’s like depending on your actions it can change the story and thus play more like a movie with a...
Telltale is the most prolific developer of these kinds of games.
Japan has had elements similar to this in visual novels for a long time. Snatcher, Policenauts, YU-NO, etc. feature the same type of gameplay but without the parts in Life is Strange where you explore in a 3d environment.
There are definitely games where the primary/target demographic is boys or girls though.
The arcade classic “Centipede” is a good example of this. It was designed to try to attract women to play it. The colors were pastel shades and its sequel Millipede took it further by having a “story” about an elf archer protecting a mushroom forest from a bug invasion. Centipede was partially programmed by a woman (one of four people who made the game), Donna Bailey, who was also responsible for choosing the games vibrant pastel color palette.
Now, is Centipede or Millipede only for girls? No of course not. No video game is only for a single demographic. But real world data showed that girls/ women generally played Centipede and Millipede more than boys/men did. Some things just have a general appeal to some demographics more than others. So typically when a person asks for “girl games,” they just means games that will have a high appeal to girls or games that were designed with girls as the primary demographic.
Otome visual novels are this way as well. They target a female playerbase with a story-based romance game and generally feature a female protagonist who romances male characters in the game.
I’m sure you meant it as hyperbole, but SWAT will not actually show up to anyone’s home just for pirating video games. At most, a handful of local police or FBI may knock on your door, but SWAT are not called in for something like that. Not unless you have some history with the police of extreme violence or you have given them reason to suspect you are going to put up a fight.
A person is most likely to recieve a letter in the mail or an email from the lawyers of Nintendo before police are invovled.

Games playerbase is like, less than half what it was on Steam. Arrowhead has put out like 3 or 4 “apology” letters about “we hear your feedback, we will fix stuff” but its like, how many times you gonna say that? You know?
I haven’t played for a while. Last I played, the bots spawn rate was too high when only two people loaded into a 4-5 star mission. They said they put out an update so I played to check, and they actually made it worse. Maybe it has improved since, but I haven’t been back to check.
