Day 51 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (lemmy.world)

Today’s game is Half Life 2. I heard it got a UI update specifically for Steam Deck, so I had to try it. I ended up playing way more than I meant too (made it all the way to the Boat Segment and got stuck on the helicopter fight). I forgot how damn good this game is, it’s hard for me to resist playing it too and...

Bucket% sounds awesome, honestly. i feel like I can hear the sound effects just from the ui and screenshot.

thanks for sharing this. i look forward to more.

I’m currently playing with a wired 360 controller, myself. its old and creaky and kinda scratched up but it works gorgeously still!

great little controller. 8bitdo has a knack for small controllers that feel good in the hand.

Day 35 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (lemmy.world)

After making a decent chunk in 100% L.A. Noire, i went back to (Modded) Skyrim to take a break. I took this while walking from solitude to Winterhold to start the mage’s guild quest. I believe it’s right outside of Solitude

gods. you said “mages guild” and I was reminded how much I miss the actual mages guild.

but i do like the college. and modded skyrim can be nice and peaceful when you don’t know what to play. i just took a break from another action heavy game and went to modded skyrim as well.

its always nice to see your posts. enjoy <3

indeed! I’m very excited.

no? actually I’m pretty glad they’re not spoilng everything. sometimes companies can overshare before a release and get spoilery. thank goodness that’s not the case here.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

they showed gameplay weeks ago. plenty of it. its all over the place.

not sure how much more you need.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

thanks! i love the whole franchise. dreck included! I’ll gladly take it. =)

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

oh no I love all the games. i know there’s a lot of “Origins purists” that love to trash talk any game in the franchise that isn’t origins, but most of us love all the games. for different reasons.

i sincerely hope you have branched out to other games that were more like Origins in the years since it’s been out. and I hope you’ve found ones you like.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

don’t be!

I love BG3 as well. They’re all great games. and Dragon Age 2 has a special place in my heart. I love how the combat and focus changed to one specific city. It made me appreciate the day/night design and the stories (for good or bad) that took place there.

I just have noticed a trend of Origins people that come into any dragon age thread just to talk smack, and I think it’d probably be better to just play a game you like instead of focusing on how much you hate ones you don’t. ya know? especially considering how excited people are for the new game.

There’s always more games of a genre to play. And Origins is fantastic. I always recommend new Dragon Age players start at Origins and play all the way through Inquisition for the full experience.

I’m a fan of all the dragon age games and I’m excited as fuck. this isn’t a hot take. we are allowed to be hyped! =D

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

I’m not sure why you feel the need to “debate” about whether someone enjoys a game you don’t, but i am quite excited for Veilguard.

I hope you enjoy whatever you choose to play!

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

i have this game in my steam library but i use a steam deck and I was told the functionality wasn’t great for controllers.

maybe if it’s got better I can try again. thank you for the recommendation.

Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

I’m Just curious about, do you prefer RPGs (Role-Playing Games) or FPS (First-Person Shooters)? Personally, I love getting lost in the story and character development of RPGs, but the fast-paced action of FPS games is hard to resist. What about you? Which one do you enjoy more and why? Let’s hear your thoughts!

Nima,

fun is classified by having a feeling of enjoyment from playing a video game.

hope this helps.

@Nima@leminal.space avatar

seriously. no idea what on earth happened.

i can go to thousands of places and download yuzu right now. without even trying.

they are doing nothing but wasting their own time and giving their own brand a poor image in the process.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

whoaaa. that looks amazing. I added it to my wishlist. I dont know if that was what op was looking for but I’m certainly glad you linked it!

I’m all for another game in the franchise, but quidditch isn’t a very compelling part of the world for me.

as a sports game, quidditch feels shaky. its fine for narrative purposes, but it’s not a real sport. so I’m not sure how they will build it into one.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

I always thought the whole point of quidditch was to put the protag as the most important position in the game.

but yeah I’ve seen “quidditch” being played. I’m just not certain how compelling it is without a protagonist player.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

I went to ddg looking for yoga with solaire and then found nothing and was heartbroken.

but yeah I’m a huge HL and HP fan in general and I’m planning to skip this one because I don’t really care about quidditch. its only real interest to me was as a cool plot tool. nothing more.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

nothing whatsoever. but they need to feel important about something, I suppose.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

don’t waste your time with these weirdos. they throw around labels of transphobia for daring to disagree with anyone that doesn’t share their narrow, obsessive world views.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

👍

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

looks great. the combat reminds me of dragon age 2. I’m quite excited!

Maybe because most people experience the art? and don’t feel the need to inflate their ego by thinking their interpretation or experience is the best way to interpret something?

this feels like a bunch of nerds sitting around complaining that gamers miss stuff, while not understanding that most gamers don’t miss it. they just experience it and don’t feel the need to externalize it.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

how do you know I’m not appreciative of the art as I’m playing?

I’ve seen quite a lot of symbolism, meaning, and expressions through video games. but not every video game is made for artistic expression. they can be, to great effect IMHO.

either way, how the art is experienced is entirely up to the individual player. and there’s no definitive way to experience art. that… kind of defeats the purpose of art, ya know?

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

that was my point. there’s no definitive “right way” to experience or find purpose in art.

I would agree that sharing our experience with others is important. they might have a different take.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

I’m avoiding everything about it. video game movies are generally a misrepresentation of the source material entirely. so I never have hope for any video game movie. and borderlands is a franchise I actually really love.

and after seeing the cast, I think it’s going to be a disaster. 😭
