Happy new year guys!😀 Just now, it hit midnight here, and it’s officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it’s the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I’m curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?
The thing is, I have heard this title and Wukong don’t run that well in the PS5, or at least that is what I have read in online sites… I am not sure if that is true, or it is only PC gamers being noisy about it.
I definitely need to read more about this… I (kinda) compare BG3 with The Witcher 3, and I would have enjoyed playing TW3 a lot with my gf for sure! (Not sure if she would like the whole run though).
After starting work, I feel so tired every day, so I just want to play some casual games. Recently, I’m playing survivor-like games like Vampire Survivors and Darkchaser. They’re simple and fun, but after a while, they get a bit boring. So, I’m looking for other casual game recommendations, preferably single-player games...
Lots of options already shared it so I am just gonna say that I find easier to play older games that I have already played/beaten.
Personal examples:
Super Mario 64 and Toy Story 2.
The huge benefit of older games is that they are just quick and play, no updates no DLCs just fire it up and play, if emulated you even got save states and all those thingys.
This is a dangerous thing to me though, as it discourages me to try out new games, yeah, but after a tiring day I find myself more comfortable getting into these kinds of games than other options.
Funny that you mentioned Vampire Survivors as I was planning to get it for Android haha.
I just finished Ace Attorney Investigations II and I am at that stage confused for where to go now after finishing a game (is not that I do not have a backlog lol).
Anyway, I continued Pokémon Omega Ruby yesterday but I have that one, TWEWY, BOTW (both for Switch) and Chrono Trigger for DS sitting in the middle of a playthrough and I don’t know where to go now.
I just went to Pokémon because I never finished the GBA version and it is the easiest IMO, TWEWY I beat the DS version multiple times and I consider that one better than the Switch one (gameplay wise) maybe that is why it hasn’t caught up my attention so much.
BOTW is MASSIVE! And the joycon drift demotivates me lol And Chrono Trigger… I am pretty sure I am about to finish the 1st ending… But I am kinda lost in the plot lol.
Sim, arcade, simcade, anything. I’m kinda disconnected from the genre and want to know what is considered the GOATs of racing games to try them out....
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection in my Nintendo Switch.
I was hesitant about playing it as a collection/remake as I already have the game loaded in my DS with the fan translation (at least I skipped the complaints about the change of the character names 😆), and I have played all the prior Ace Attorney games in DS/3DS and I am much more a handheld user than a console user, but I have been liking the improvements that the remake has, and playing it in the big TV has been pretty comfortable for me with this title, perhaps the bigger screen for text is the best reason.
They replaced the magic seal touch screen garbage with a key combo
Why nowadays everyone hates DS gimmicks?
Is it the iPhone’s fault? At that moment the DS gameplay was the shit.
Heck I would even say Metroid Prime Hunters Online was (and still is thanks to Wimmfi) one of the most fast paced shooters thanks to the touchscreen (easily the most fast paced one of the handhelds).
The DS is my favorite handheld since I got my hands on one, and I’ll defend it until my grave.
So, I’ve been getting into GBA and want some recommendations. I’ve been playing advance wars and really like it, anyone know any similar games? (Not fire emblem because permadeath is an annoying mechanic?...
As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review....
And I can’t see myself to finish it at least once 🙃
I am not saying it is a bad game by any means, I just struggle to finish games in a nutshell lol (also not fun when I leave an RPG game for a long period of time, get back to it rusty and clueless of where I left).
I truly wonder if it has some QOL changes, or at least better visuals, anyway I have my nostalgia googles for the PS1 version… But it would be interesting… And I dare I’m curious for another game session.
You can downvote me too, I don’t really care about imaginary numbers. No need to apologize.
You care enough to be bothered with Lemmy.
I am just disappointed that Lemmy was supposed to be a better place than Reddit, but my experience on Lemmy has actually become worse than my experience on Reddit.
I mean, at least this can be fixed, you can’t really fix Reddit.
And I think we still have a better experience on Lemmy than Reddit, for starters we don’t have ads here wink.
TBH I agree with you, 2 secs doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, especially when many other awesome games implement it, but that could also be because I have been desensitized from the daily ads of my life (it used to be worse, I have an ad blocker for anything, but I still use open TV as a background noise and there are some other advertisements you can’t just evade).
I agree with the statement up here that when we allow these 2 secs it lets the path open for more annoying stuff in the future, but also it is ultimately a decision from Nintendo to continue the deal with them if it is annoying enough for most users.
Lemmy was not always like this. But since about 7 or 8 months ago, it became this way. And there is no going back.
Well, are we gonna ignore where the biggest influx of ppl comes from?
I’d say don’t take it too personal if other ppl think differently than you, I think this is the healthiest approach we all can take (especially when we are discussing hobbies).
This stopped being a matter of Lemmy vs Reddit, you can’t really fix Internet people, and that is to be expected.
If this is some kind of question like “you can only play this in your lifetime” I’d pick up a DSi XL or closely a 3DS, I enjoy the DS library more, so it would be a downgrade doing it there, unless things have changed since the last time I checked.
The reasons are simple, it has tons of great titles and many of them have a high replayability value.
I don’t know man, I had my fair share of fun with a pair of Nyan Cat games, the original Plants Vs Zombies, Nimble Quest (I just got this again on Android and cracked the heck out of it with Lucky patcher, and still suck lol), Tiny Wings, Angry Birds and I could be missing some others.
That you didn’t like them doesn’t mean they sucked, look along this thread and you’ll find ppl sharing titles worthwhile back then (me included), ofc, this is not GOTY material, but a game must not be a masterpiece in order to be enjoyable, which ultimately is what all games are for, to be an enjoyable hobby.
