Halo 2 Anniversary, though…!

Okay, my actual thoughts are thus: The original game looked bad. I don’t think there’s any denying that. But: at least it was consistent, and it had a style to it that it kept hold of throughout. There was a real opportunity to properly overhaul Deus Ex with the remaster, but they’ve instead settled for Xbox 360-era models, while keeping the stiff animations from the original, and throwing ridiculous amounts of harsh lighting and bloom around. It doesn’t look like Deus Ex any more. What they should’ve done is taken some cues from Human Revolution and used that to inform the design. (Hot take maybe)

What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?

You fell in love with a game and it's characters, sunk hundreds, maybe even thousands of hours into it. It became a comforting, immensely satisfying part of your daily life. Then you heard a sequel was coming and got really hyped but when it came out it was utter rubbish......

I have always maintained that Infinite would have made SO much more sense if it’d followed on directly from 3.

Oh no, we’re getting to the point where PS2-era visuals are considered low-poly??

Oh I see - I don’t know why, but I assumed this was a new game.

Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development (www.destructoid.com)

After being in development for over 10 years, Hytale, a sandbox game from the Hypixel Studios team with support from Riot, has officially been cancelled. Hypixel Studios’ CEO, Noxy, announced the cancellation on X on June 23, with the official Hytale forums following suit.

As someone who loves the collectathon-style platformer… yeah, YL’s graphics should be the least of their concerns. I’ve been playing through Banjo-Kazooie recently and it’s SO much better.

DK64 has a certain charm to it. I think there’s a really good game in there, but it also tries to do WAYYY too much, and having to memorise all those Street Fighter button combos to pull off basic moves is hard work.

Then why do you need a new one?

You forgot SteamOS: Blue Shift and SteamOS: Opposing Force. (The latter of which has a Windows theme)

Dungeons of Dredmor! Just a really solid, straightforward roguelike with a ton of stuff and a cheeky sense of humour.

It’s a bad game for sure, but it is far from the worst game in history

So are the vastly more affordable 8BitDo controllers!

need help finding a racing game

I remember this game made before the 2010s… It had these crazy cars and wild tracks. You could switch between different vehicles, and everything had this bright, neon, RGB vibe. The tracks had loops, anti-gravity sections, and you could go super fast. It felt somewhat open-world, and you could smash into other cars.

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Kinda want to say Nitronic Rush, but there weren’t any other cars in that.

@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Oh man, I hate that ““review”” format

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I have had many thoughts along the lines of “how can I fully optimise my cellar” and “dino eggs are worth more money than dino mayo” and it just sucks all the wonder out of the game

Blacklight Retribution was pretty great. I played quite early in its lifespan, during an event which gave me a special nameplate - nothing more than a participation trophy, and at the time, loads of people used it.

Signed in a few years later to.play a few rounds, and some guy begged me to let them use my account because of that now-rare nameplate.

(I also had an extremely cool helmet and some seriously powerful guns I got for free in that game’s equivalent of a lootbox)

You mean Mars Effect?

Civ 4 at least has an “Aggressive AI” setting, where all rival nations will be a bit more… well, aggressive and warmonger-y.

I like Anno 2070, a game which takes place in a world where the sea levels have risen to a barely-sustainable level. But it’s okay, because you can repopulate with the power of solarpunk machinery!

X-COM 2 is fully playable with just the mouse.

If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, there’s The Enchanted Cave 2, a nice little roguelite with an interesting loot system.

From memory, Fallout and Fallout 2 are fully mouse-playable too.

Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version (www.gamesradar.com)

Full title: Ubisoft says you “cannot complain” it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren’t “deceived” by the lack of an offline version “to access a decade-old, discontinued video game”...

They’re actually really nice, well-made X-COM lites. Great if you don’t want to immediately throw your kids to the Chryssalids.

Rabbids still kinda suck as a concept, but the games are good enough that I can look past it

Nah, we’re all actually talking about the PSX.

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

As someone who was around when it was current, yes, everyone called it PSX.

The 8bitdo Ultimate 2C is very cheap as controllers go, and is also one of my favourites. Certainly my go-to for general purpose

In that case, I expect him to drink more booze

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a Masterpiece, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an Indulgence

I was a huge fan of Breath of the Wild when it came out and played the hell out of it. At a certain point, it felt like I hit the logical end point and there wasn’t much else to do. When I started playing Tears of the Kingdom, I got exactly what I wanted which was more Breath of the Wild. I’m still playing ToTK and really...

Sacred stones? Imprisoning war???

What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

I tried playing Harvest Moon on the SNES today and having played Stardew Valley for hours, I thought I'd try and see how tolerable the original Harvest Moon was in comparison. I know and understand it is unfair because there's a 20 year gap between Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, while also discrediting Harvest Moon's later...

I would love to experience X-COM UFO Defense, but the only X-COMs I’ve played to any extent are the two “modern” Firaxis games. Going back to the originals is a real effort, especially without having the manual to hand.

Hi there

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Think the oldest game I own that I haven’t yet played is Tomb Raider. Got it with my original PlayStation.

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

If you want to get technical, the first was arguably 3D Monster Maze, released in 1981. There was also Battlezone, again 1981 - though it’s debatable whether it counts as an FPS.

A more accurate answer would be id’s own Catacomb 3D, from 1991.

Wolf 3D definitely wasn’t the first by any stretch

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

How is Bastion on neither of these lists??
