Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.
I have never played a MOBA but some quick sessions of Vainglory in an old iPhone… If that counts.
I can see the charm in the genre I guess… But battle royals? Hell no, you wrote it damn perfectly… It is a huge waste of time, whether it is for the grinding mechanics, or the camping mechanics, or the unfair situations, but that tension does well for streaming guys, I think that is why the genre got so popular? Like those brainless games that you see on social media like Facebook about driving trailers in messy roads or those Five Nights at Freddie’s kinds of games?
I only played that game briefly, and I was so confused with the game mechanics, maybe I didn’t stick with it for so long, but I remember it wasn’t very clear at the beginning how you should proceed?
I never got to finish Just Cause 1 and Kill Zone 1 🤔
I wouldn’t say they were unfun, but definitely I felt JC was very repetitive that I sort of left it behind and same can be said with Killzone, I played Killzone 2 and 3 and never got back to 1, but I intend to.
Yep, they knew, that’s why they started with a disclaimer
Please don’t get angry for seeing The Last Of Us merely at number five in a ranking about the best things of a specific kind ever made.
It’s definitely good, competent, and very ugly or beautiful whenever it wants to be. Just like the game, it picked the perfect couple of actors to give life to the characters that could carry the massive weight of both the game’s drama and the hopes that more video games could get prestige TV treatment in the future.
But is it really that big of an achievement? It feels like a very safe adaptation of a game that already played like a movie in the first place. HBO’s The Last Of Us is good, but you know what else is good? Watching a video compilation of the cutscenes from the first game on YouTube. I wish we could see a future season starring a new group of main characters on a completely different adventure. Perhaps you can get Henry Cavill to star in it. I heard he likes games.
I’ve been thinking about the PS1 game ‘Driver’ a lot recently. It’s a game I spent a lot of time on during my youth, and whilst I’m sure it doesn’t hold up some 20 years later, it was still a highlight from my ‘gaming youth’....
I have only played GTA SA in my PS2 and almost a full playthrough in my iPhone 6s 😂
I agree that the Xbox version is the best one (not sure about the PC version though), which is weird that this statement remains valid as of today lol.
The only multiplayer game I play is Borderlands 2 with my girlfriend, and that is very once and then… So yeah, MP games are not the same for me anymore.
Well except for Jump Ultimate Stars, I always make time to play that shit whenever possible.
Original hardware, but you can even play from emulator.
Take a look at the custom server, this is the discord server where we play each other and with this guide you’ll be able to set everything up.
And yes, it is cool af, here you can see some gameplays from some users from the discord server, it is not a competitive fighting game by any means, but it can get competitive 😅
Not my server by any means, but yeah, I was even thinking of making a post about this, I mean, the user base is so tiny on Lemmy yet and it would be like promoting a niche game to a niche community lol.
Definitely having an Android phone will be a better option for emulation than what we currently have in the market, but these damn Chinese consoles have their charm!
Also I would not use my main Android for serious gaming/emulation as I’m a battery freak and seeing it going lower than it normally does would bring a bit of anxiety to me.
Purchasing a separate Android device and attaching it to my Razer Kishi sounds like something feasible to me (or re use my current one when I’m done with it, this is my first Android device and has a SD 865).
Anyway all the SBC gaming world is amazing to me and that will never stop.
I am a Miyoo Mini V2 user and I love the heck out of it, but stopped using it since I knew about Retroachivements (because of the lack of wifi signal)… Tbh the plus model seems like a good option to me as it integrates that hardware feature… But I’m trying to keep my collection simple (more like I have too, I am poor).

Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she’s unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it’s not too violent, it should be fine
