Middle management gets the shaft all the time. It’s the yes men at the top who never get touched.

Even Halo 5 had redeeming qualities. I legit wish Infinite would be treated like a fan made game and ignored so they can make a Halo 6 that concludes the Promethean saga.

What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? angielski

Hello, in the recent years I find myself willing to spend much less time and energy on games, but I do still enjoy them. Oftentimes I end up quitting a new game I tried out relatively early on, because I’m encountering some block, grind, non-optional boring side quest, empty open world, uninteresting clutter or details that I...

I know Portal isn’t a shooter. But Portal made me think of them. I feel like a lot of FPSs would fit OP’s question. Half-Life 2 and most of the Halo games come to mind.

I’ve loved most of the Final Fantasy games. But the PS1 games (the golden era) were the worst about this.

Pre-PS1 typically required more thought. You had to balance magic use, item use, and of course melee. But even then you had to debate whether to spend a turn reviving your healer or try to get the victory before a team wipe.

Post PS1 you had X’s rock paper scissors battle. You had to figure out who could attack who. It wasn’t too complicated but it forced variety.

XII streamlined the auto attacking and allowed you to focus on the exceptions (enemy weak against fire, use silence, cure). That could be automated too, but I liked to handle that myself.

XIII & XIII-2 forced you to balance your jobs/classes constantly in battle.

Lightning Returna, XV, and XVI were real time.

Tactics was PS1, but it definitely required more than just attack.

The PS1 games, for the most part, could be dominated with “press X”. Most of the strategy took place outside of battle.

XIII and XIII-2 were both standard turn based. It just had stacked ATB gauges. But it was still standard menu battling.

I’d argue XII was turn based too, it just let you move while the ATB gauge filled.

Final Fantasy Dimensions and World of Final Fantasy exist too. But people forget those.

I was going to say, after reading the article, I was surprised to see that in the video.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I liked a lot about the original. I thought the real-time, turn-based fighting system was going to take over as the new fighting system going forward to replace the ATB as the go-to, and I was happy about it (XIII and XV would have been better for it).

The remaster raised the game to its full potential imo. Having jobs is so much better than free-for-all. And getting rid of the Zodiac Spear disqualification treasure chests is just good on my psyche.

XII remake is my third favorite after X and VIII.

I loved FO3. And coming from Bethesda, I was expecting a sandbox.

Actually, do people hate FO3? I thought it was well liked, even amongst New Vegas fanatics.

Jaws on the NES. I absolutely loved that game, but I found out many years later that it was hated.

PS5’s Wolverine game finally just made an appearance after several years of silence, and it’s not dead after all (www.destructoid.com) angielski

Another PlayStation presentation has gone by without mention of Marvel’s Wolverine, and so many fans and those around the industry were beginning to question the fate of the mutant.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t heard anyone question if it was still in development. I would imagine it’s almost guaranteed to be successful as long as the costs aren’t bloated.

Still no career mode for THPS4 as far as I know.

Omegamanthethird,

There are some new visuals like a visualized job tree, the map, and the revamped attack preview. Both the classic and new graphics are available.

Oh, and voiced dialogue.

Metal Crusher still gets stuck in my head from time to time.

I believe you. But I’m curious which one is the MTX.

@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I’m shocked to see Donut County mentioned. But you’re right, it’s a perfect pleasant game similar to the perfection of the first Portal. In fact, it’s my son’s favorite video game, by far.

I’ve been riding Adventure Capitalist on my PS5, which doesn’t really require fast clicking. But it doesn’t have the events, so it’s been kind of slow going.

I’ll probably pick this up so I can forget about it for a month and then update.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

This headline would imply that PS4 users are upgrading to PS5 at almost the same rate that they upgraded or moved to the PS4.

Honestly, it’s pretty surprising considering the PS4 is still kind of a current console. I’d think a lot of people would be satisfied staying with the PS4 and still getting most of the games that are coming out.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I plan on trying out the PS2 emulator on my phone since I have a Backbone. Maybe when I get my next phone upgrade, my old phone will be a dedicated emulator.

Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? angielski

Seems like a goldmine of content for them to work on for the next decade+. Plenty of people will never experience these worlds or stories due to the turn-based combat, so giving them the Remake treatment could be the only way an audience ever finds them....

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I would love FF8 if they could keep it faithful. But I’d be worried that they would overhaul it instead of tweaking it. The level scaling isn’t a problem, they just need to call out that it makes traditional grinding unnecessary.

Drawing doesn’t need to go away. Just make it one full draw (100) and remove it from the enemy.

Oh, and make magic more powerful so it’s useful to expend.

Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games angielski

I know there’s great love for Oblivion (I never played it when it was new), and of course Skyrim is the gold standard for new fans (I played the shit out of that and it was my first entry into the elder scrolls back when it came out 14 years ago…) but I really feel like this shadow drop of a half assed remake is just priming...

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

All I wanted from the remake was character models that didn’t look like cartoons and a leveling system that didn’t punish suboptimal builds, and by God that’s what they delivered.

People keep clamoring for a Morrowind remake, and I disagree. It’s perfect the way it is. Oblivion NEEDED this.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

All of the games have scaling of some kind (at least Morrowind and Skyrim do). Just as long as they make suboptimal builds viable rather than punishing, that’s all I need.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I’m hoping for remake. The game needs to abandon (or at least rework) their level scaling. It’s by far the worst implementation it that I’ve ever seen.

Then make everything less orange, shiny, and bulbous.

I’m glad I got my (second) Anbernic earlier this month.

Mag

There’s something so special about the command structure, having your own squad v squad, while a whole other battle is taking place around you. But also that you could be pulled for extra resources if needed.

I tried Hell Let Loose, but it’s too chaotic and open.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I think that was the only full price I’ve bought digitally, because my friend and I wanted to game share and play together.

MMO shooter seems like an undeserved concept. Buy I guess you have the scope of Defiance with the polish of an MMO. Or you have the scope of Destiny and the polish of a normal shooter.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I beat the entire thieves guild quest line starting at basically level 1 by using the strategy of “run fast”. There were some major flaws that kept me from loving that game properly, so I’m hoping it’s more user friendly with the remake. But I could definitely see a lot of charm in it.

If it isn’t one of the ugliest games I’ve ever played though. Why is every character a shiny, pudgy, orange?

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve never heard someone verbally say “PSX”. Does that happen?

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I assume people were worried about them pulling an Xbox, especially since they are largely the same concept.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t like the idea of a game that can’t be played long after the servers have gone down.

But I’m glad that it can still be traded or sold after purchase unlike what Xbox tried to do.

Best game ever? angielski

Yeah pacman and pong were seminal but so was elite on the BBC, and Populous which I think was on the spectrum. Also unreal tournament, silent hill, vice city, homeworld, doom 2016, beam ng, I enjoyed em all but I can’t decide. Ppl here have done much more gaming than me, I’m wondering what you all think is the best game...

Omegamanthethird, (edited )
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Most awe inspiring: Morrowind

Most depth of interest: Final Fantasy X

Most emotional impact: The Last of Us

Playing one of the big multiplayer arcade cabinets like Simpsons or X-Men was the original couch co-op with whoever was at the arcade not playing pinball or pool.

I bought the 4-Player co-op X-Men arcade cabinet from Arcade1up and it’s been a blast playing it all the way through with my son.

@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Bloody scenes? The whole game is made up of bloody scenes unless you’re intentionally avoiding doing the finishers. And even then it’s just less so.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

It’s on sale on PSN. I might actually pick it up now.

Are modern Final Fantasy games bad?

I started at 7 and looked forwards to every iteration of the series since then, 8 was more of the same with a weird story, 9 was cute and a good throwback, then I went back to 6 which was a masterpiece, 10 was emotional and beautiful, 12 wasn’t great but had cool worldbuilding, being a FFT fan....

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

For the record, I was also immensely disappointed in XV. However I loved XVI. The ability cool downs in particular felt very ATB-like to me and I loved the customization. The story is very good and one of my favorites from storytelling perspective (in other words, HOW the story is told).

I also really liked the combat and exploration of XII. And the Zodiac version makes it even better.

I thought XIII had some of the best moments in the series.

XIII-2 perfected the gameplay from XIII and made storytelling and exploration “fun”

XIII: LR is very experimental and has some of my favorite action-based combat in the series.

World of Final Fantasy is a lot of fun if you want turn based monster capturing.

Stranger of Paradise is a blast. My only issue with it is that you can’t really overpower by leveling up. I hit a hard wall with a boss and the only way through is “get good”.

I didn’t get much into Type-O but I keep meaning to.

Theatrhythm exists. I love it, but it’s also it’s own thing entirely.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

No Man’s Sky was my favorite experience on the original PSVR and I know it runs on the PSVR2 as well.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

My first thoughts were Final Fantasy because you have all the enemies you need. And they’ve already branched out into monster catching and Souls-like. So might as well.

My second thought was X-men because the Genesis games were already kinda built for that.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Isn’t the creator/owner problematic?

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I guess he’s really transphobic and every time someone reaches out to talk about Earthworm Jim, he gets really weird and political.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

The hodgepodge of different vehicles in different terrains was so incredibly fun to navigate no matter which vehicle type you chose. And using 6axis was just a whole other level, even if it wasn’t the easiest way to play.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, the two-pack on PSN is only $7.50 right now. I think I’ll pick it up.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

But also Spider-Ham, Peter Porker, is a real character with audience familiarity from Into the Spider-Verse.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Dang, I got excited that we were getting another Amplitude.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I’d pay for a mobile version of this. But I’m going to have to play this on a computer.
