perishthethought,

They had me at tower defense mechanics.

perishthethought,

I mean, obviously. You might still need them

perishthethought,

Very cool. What makes a run segmented or not?

perishthethought,

Gotcha. Thanks for the info

perishthethought,

I was lost the whole time but it was still fun to watch, somehow.

perishthethought,

The challenge with this question is that not everyone has played in every console, so like, for me, I can only comment on the Atari 2600, the Wii and the XBOX 360.

From that small sample, the wii wins hands down. I loved the motion controllers a lot.

perishthethought,

I think because it was so different from what came right before it: Gamecube, PS3, Xbox.

Waving that Wiimote around was a blast for everyone, gamers and non-gamers alike. Tons of hours of play in this Sports Resort, for instance.

I get what @berttheduck said about long games / serious gamers but can you imagine your grandma trying to play most Switch or PS5 or other new console games now?

perishthethought,

That robot spider looks so sick

perishthethought,

It’s been a few years since I played the game. I should check it out again.

perishthethought,

For me,

  • half life 1 and 2
  • portal 1 but not 2
  • psychonauts 1 and 2

They’re like chicken soup. So good.

perishthethought,

I think it’s the length, is all. Tough to commit to all that again now. It is great, for sure. We reference it in quotes all the time around my house.

perishthethought,

Not most games on f-droid, no. But still worth looking into, imo.

perishthethought,

Chip Defense

A tower defense game with a microprocessor theme.

f-droid.org/packages/de.chadenas.cpudefense/

perishthethought,

The list (for people like me who don’t always remember which company made the games we play) :

…wikipedia.org/…/List_of_Telltale_Games_video_gam…

Turns out, I haven’t played any of their games yet.

perishthethought,

Kill everything about this with a hot poker. If this is the future, I’ll just stay here, thanks.

perishthethought,

… making its way to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One on 21st May.

And it’s already on Steam, eh store.steampowered.com/app/482400/

perishthethought,

Languages have words, use the goddamn words!

I ffeel this in my bones every day. Seems like some people are trying to make words not mean what they’re supposed to mean.

perishthethought,

Coming into this thread, I thought I’d be the only one saying this. Most online reviews seem to prefer the sequel but I much prefer the first game. Something about the sequel’s controls just never sat well for me. I love everything about the first game though and had played it through twice right before I tried the sequel.

Maybe I should try again now that it’s been a while since then.

perishthethought,

In the hour since I posted this I got to the end. Yeah, that was great but I wish there was more. I’d be excited to hear if they ever make a sequel.

But on the Wikipedia page it does say…

On 5 September 2023, Annapurna Animation announced an animated film adaptation of Stray is in development after the success of its first film Nimona (2023). Robert Baird, co-head of animation, felt the game was suitable for adaptation due to its popularity, as well as its buddy comedy and hopepunk elements.

So there’s that. Though it makes me sad to think we needed to make “hopepunk” a word; how is having hope a “punk” thing? :|

perishthethought,

Yes. In fact, as it ended, I hoped it would have a “this is a triumph” kind of ending song too. :)

perishthethought,

Oh! Good news - I still have 11 achievements to earn, so back in I go.

perishthethought,

My son gave me this for Xmas so I got lucky. But yeah, get it when / how you can.

perishthethought,

Dooooo it. Yes.

perishthethought,

Ok thanks. That makes sense. I’m always glad to see when anyone can still express hope for a better future.

perishthethought,

So, that was a passive tech, keeping you in a place, and this actively works to steer you to where you need to be. This seems better in the long run for that purpose even though it’s much more complicated.

The Witness Appreciation Post angielski

I got the urge to play the witness for the 3rd (or maybe even 4th) time again after being slightly disappointed by the Talos Principle 2, and man I cannot express enough how much I enjoy this game. It just satisfies something deep inside me every time I play it. And I know a LOT of people (probably some here) strongly dislike...

perishthethought, (edited )

EDITED: I should play The Witness again. I’ve played it once, mostly completed and loved it. I’m in the middle of the Talos Principle 2 now and want to finish it first. Come to my community and talk about what you didn’t like, OP.

TheTalosPrinciple@lemm.ee

lemm.ee/c/the_talos_principle

perishthethought,

Huh, OK. That never crossed my mind while playing TTP / TTP2 but I can see how that would be distracting from the puzzle solving.

Funny thing is, after I finished Witness, I went back to play Braid, the earlier game by the same creator and its look & feel just never worked for me at all. So yeah

Any Orcs Must Die fans around here? (i.imgflip.com) angielski

I’m jonesing for these tower defense games. The first edition was released by Robot Entertainment in 2011, Orcs Must Die 2 came out in 2012, OMD Unchained (online multi-player) was from 2014 and OMD 3 was from 2020/2021. They’re all great fun and I am sad that we may never get an OMD 4. Game 1 was single-player, 2 and 3 had...

perishthethought,

I think I’ve played OMD3 the most now and right, that’s largely because of the new options, traps and weapons. Robot did a great job moving the series foreword without removing any of the fun. And the DLC just extended that a lot more.

Billy Mitchell has surrendered (perfectpacman.com)

Billy Mitchell didn’t win his defamation lawsuit against Twin Galaxies. Not only was Billy not in a position to get a financial settlement, Billy’s cheated Donkey Kong scores were not reinstated(as he’s claiming), and his claimed Pac-Man score from 1999 is also not on the main scoreboards. What had happened is that the...

perishthethought,

*Rampage.

It was right there and you didn’t use it?

perishthethought,

If only I knew the name of the game you’re asking about…

perishthethought,

Apparently it’s, "skate.'.

perishthethought,

🤓 The Talos Principle 2 is taking up my tiny slices of gaming time. Tons of puzzles to solve, a really engaging story to unfold and the music is just beautiful. If you played the first edition (from 2009) it’s totally like that and more. I’m, only halg-way through it but yeah, it’s great and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

store.steampowered.com/…/The_Talos_Principle_2/

perishthethought,

2025 release

rockpapershotgun.com/rockstar-put-gta-6-trailer-l…

perishthethought,

Me too. Great games in their era.

This might work?

www.gog.com/en/games?query=apogee&order=desc:…

perishthethought,

I just got THPS3 for windows (from Neversoft) running on my Ubuntu pc yesterday. So much fun, I find a way to play it once every ten years or so.

perishthethought,

In which era? For me it all started with Combat on the 2600 and I’ve been a vidiot ever since.

perishthethought,

It has what now? I guess I have to play it again, again.

perishthethought,

OK thanks for this info. On my next-up list when I finish The Talos Principle 2.

What game genre would you like to see more entrants in? angielski

This was something I started wondering about when I was reading a thread about Star Citizen, and about how space combat flight games were much less-common than they had been at one point, how fans of the genre were hungry for new entrants....

perishthethought,

Tower defense games are my jam, so even though they get made every so often, I always want more.

It’s unclear if the OMD maker (Robot) will ever make OMD4 so someone else needs to step in here.

Space sim Squadron 42 is "feature-complete" and gunning for Starfield's lunch with massive new video (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

Squadron 42 is the single player campaign of Star Citizen, that is supposed to launch as a separate game. It's basically a small portion of Star Citizen, but with a story and ending. I'm still not confident; waited too long for that.

perishthethought,

Have they ever said how many people are working on this game?

perishthethought,

The Orange Box.

Probably the last I paid MSRP.

I just wanted to commend Croteam angielski

So, Croteam, the creators of the Serious Sam series as well as the Talos Principle game have just announced the sequel to the Talos Principle, The Talos Principle 2, is set to release a little over a week from this post, about 9 years after the first game came out. I was always a huge puzzle fan and so I loved the first game, as...

perishthethought,

Great write up @bermuda. Croteam deserves a lot of praise for their great work.

perishthethought,

Ooohhhh, please don’t suggest anyone buy Trader Joe’s. That would F Up my world.

perishthethought,

Hrrrrmm, TIL. As long as they keep it running the same, that’s OK.
