I feel this way as I get older. I don’t care how “realistic” the latest iteration of Call of Battlefield 19: Looty-Shooty Palooza" is, give me compelling gameplay; Not a generic “go here, shoot that, loot this” gameplay loop.
I just go into all games with no expectations or influences. its a much better way to game, imho.
rather than writing off AAA entirely. if I avoid reviews/ forum discussions etc and just play, then the labels kinda fall away. every game has a chance to be fun. regardless if it was made by 100 person dev team or 2.
spongy bosses don’t always mean they’re challenging. I can’t count how many times I’ve fought a boss who isn’t hard or interesting but just wastes time cause they have a ton of health.
So maybe some of you have seen the recent ROM hack come out, by the developer of Pokémon Emerald Seaglass, called Pokémon Lazarus. This one has a far larger scale to everything, it’s quite clear that it is a massive undertaking for a sole dev, and most of the community is loving it....
people really need to stop giving shitty twitter trolls the time of day. they now get to cheerfully read an article that mentions their behavior.
should have just cut that part out and focus on how kickass this romhack is. don’t even give them a second of time in anyone’s mind. let them rot in their little cesspools.
while we have a kickass time playing a cool pokemon hack =D
considering lemmy is so spread out and there’s many apps for it, I think post formatting is down to user preference and choice.
I’d suggest swapping to a view that will at least show titles so you don’t make the mistake of clicking on something or seeing something that’s a spoiler for you.
my point is that its on the user, not the OP. especially given the game its from.
while its hilarious that he is trying this again, that website not only popped a text box that opened my keyboard automatically and then did another pop up after that.
A bunch of free content with a coupon in LoTRO. Very worth downloading the game and redeeming if you ever had or ever think you might even want to try the game....
its because the “oldies” are well designed and aren’t overtly obvious cash grabs.
well I mean some are cash types. but quite a few old MMOs have a great life due to private servers and whatnot. And some “dead” MMOs are still alive solely on private servers (Star Wars Galaxies for example)
and ones like ESO are great for not needing a subscription to play. you have the option to just buy the content outright if you’d like.
but yeah I would love to see a new MMO come along to bring that feeling back. the good old days of competition between MMOs. it does feel like cash shop gacha trash is everywhere these days.
Pretty much title. It is annoying when you are playing some online co-op game (where time matters) and you cannot pause it. Server pause option would amazing in case you have to deal something in real life. I found this issue annoying in Peak and most farming games....
there’s no nuance in anything anymore. you can’t just say “oh this isn’t really for me, honestly.”
you have to write 18 paragraphs about the fall of the video game industry because of this one game and how its hot trash, kills newborns while they sleep, etc.
This is actually from 2022, but I missed it back in the day. This is quite important research imo, and very relevant lately. Link to the paper itself: www.sciencedirect.com/…/S0747563222001637
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......
they have said they’re not working on a version two because they don’t feel the need to upgrade their hardware right now.
this is a low powered handheld gaming device. i use an LCD model as my daily gaming device and it kicks ass. i am unsure what upgrades are going to make it more “worth it” beyond what they’ve already done with the steam decks they are making and selling.
it works well and plays games right now, is my point.
i advise that you stop waiting to buy the next Shiny New Thing™️ and just get one if you want one. they’re fun and life is short. enjoy yourself!
no, they don’t. but the game has been out for 5 years at this point.
articles like these seem quite pointless to anyone who doesn’t already own a switch 2. and possibly pointless even to people who own a switch 2, but have already played cyberpunk on better or similar hardware.
this article is an attempt to pat a multi billion dollar company on the back so it doesn’t feel as bad that people aren’t racing out to buy their 5-year-late, overpriced attempts to dominate the handheld market again.
that, and it the game has a couple things that I feel actually exceed the trilogy. my favorite loyalty mission for any companion’s is Liam’s. it was seriously so fun. and the humor was perfect.
i absolutely agree with you on the “good enoughs”, but I actually think Andromeda is good. i just think it had an awful start.
Mass Effect Andromeda. I absolutely love the game and have played through it multiple times, wishing for DLC. for an expansion of this wonderful universe that I love to explore.
Eurogamer understands Bethesda’s current plan is to shadow drop the game next week on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, including via Xbox Game Pass.
i think its a panic project that was fired up quickly because Starfield failed so miserably.
unless this was just a side project that a few devs were working on and it was latched on to as a product that could be focused on.
i suspect that while todd was failing to put out fires, a couple devs were like “should we tell them we’ve been messing around with Oblivion assets in our new engine?”
my xbox controller works fine on linux. and I don’t feel the need to stay for xbox exclusive software anymore. this isnt 1998. Software comparable or better than microsoft-made applications and programs are numerous now. you can choose freely. and proton is extremely powerful now.
the world needs to move on from windows and microsoft. its time.
your comparison to FF7 isn’t really accurate as they’re two different types of RPGs
and CRPGs are known for being far more fleshed out than any jrpg, so I’m curious to hear your reasons for saying so. considering FF7 doesn’t even allow you to make your own character to roleplay.
i think you possibly are confusing BG3 for another game. nobody would make a statement like that unless they either hadn’t played it or were trying to troll.
My Wi-Fi was out today, so that knocked all multiplayer things out and for whatever reason Sackboy wouldn’t load with the Wi-Fi out. So instead i booted up Breath of The Wild on Cemu and played that.

Today’s game is minecraft. I played some more with my friends on the Cobblemon server. When they weren’t looking i snuck off and found the stronghold. Unluckily the entire thing was empty, so i plopped in the two Eyes of Ender i had and went home. I found one ender pearl on my way home, but i need to gather 9 more....
complimentary shaders is what you want. they are lovely and they even come with potato PC options.
they also do reimagined (which is like normal minecraft but better) and they do Unbound which is updated water animations and smoother sky textures, etc.
they run great. i run them on my steam deck and they look beautiful.
