I recently replayed FFX and couldn’t agree more. Loved every second of it, and it’s still my favorite FF of all time.

Don’t forget Ennio Morricone’s musical genius. Many of the most iconic scores in Western films are his compositions.

Day 393 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is The Last of Us Part 2. I… probably need to stop buying and picking up games. This is what? The 5th new game i picked up? In my defense though, it was cheaper than i expected and i got paid early than i thought. At this point i think i need to start cutting things loose and go back later. We did finish Halo 4...

rustydrd,
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, I feel you. I did finish the game and enjoyed it overall, but the dialogue and writing was jarring. I’m not sure what exactly it was, but I was particularly annoyed by the characters being such clichés and the dialogue in the cutscenes being soooo slow (overused animations, dramatic pauses in every sentence, …).

rustydrd,
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

I have not played 2 yet but plan to when I can catch a decent sale. From what I read, the writing is better and there also seem to be some QoL features might help with the pacing of the dialogue and cutscenes.

Today’s game is The Last of Us. I finished the main story today, and damn, am i not ready to let this game go. I’m in love with the Cyclical nature of the story (i’m a sucker for those kinds of plots) and the ending, amazing. I knew the gist of the ending so i thought it wouldn’t hit as hard, but damn. I loved how bitter...

Your journey through Part 1 was really fun to read along. Do you plan on playing Part 2?

rustydrd,
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, the vibe is different, but both are excellent in their own way. Part 2 is a more complex piece of story telling. It does some things that I had not expected from a game and that make it more (emotionally) challenging but also unique in terms of the experience. I personally found it really impressive.

Assuming that “masterpiece” refers to the quality and impact the games had in their time (not how well they aged) some of my picks would be:

  • Baldur’s Gate 2 + ToB
  • Star Wars: KotoR
  • Morrowind
  • Read Dead Redemption 2
  • The Witcher 3
  • The Last of Us 1+2
  • God of War
  • Shadow of the Colossus
  • The Legend of Zelda: BOTW
  • Mass Effect 1+2
  • Disco Elysium
  • Half Life 2
  • BioShock 1
  • Diablo 2
  • Fallout 2

I don’t know how objective this list is. Some picks are definitely subjective and fit more in a “flawed masterpiece” category of games that had a large impact on how I perceived games but that may not be so widely acclaimed as some others on this list.

rustydrd,
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

God of War has two big strengths that make it a great game in my opinion. The first is the story with its great characters, presentation, and voice acting. The second is the overall “feel” of the game, which can be a bit “game-y” at times but is really tight overall with only a handful of core mechanics that are exceptionally well implemented.

rustydrd,
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

It’s pretty good, although I think the hype is a bit over the top. The game is well done, enjoyable, and plays a lot like a modern JRPG (think Persona 5 and others).

rustydrd,
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

Never said it was undeserved. The devs did a lot of things right, and they deserve all the positive feedback they get. It just didn’t click with me personally in a way that I felt like I needed to add to the hype.

Should we boycott games with loot boxes? angielski

I have been avoiding multiplayer Valve games like Counter-Strike 2 and Team Fortress 2, due to their in-game economies that have created an underage gambling gray market, which Valve has done little about. However, I am on Linux, and the choices for multiplayer shooters are few. Besides, my small boycott is not stopping...

Is Civilization 7 not fun? angielski

Never played the Civ series before, but I’m totally into strategy games. Recently got 200 hours into Pennon and Battle and kinda burned out now. The Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era which I’m hyped for isn’t out yet, and there’s nothing else in the strategy genre grabbing me. Was about to jump into Civ 7 but saw the...

rustydrd,
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

Civ games at launch are often a bit of a mixed bag, and the games improve over time with patches and expansions. That being said, the game isn’t even fully out yet, and early Steam reviews are notoriously unreliable and undifferentiated. For your first civ game, maybe look at earlier titles like Civ 5 or 6. They have aged very well, I still play 6 all the time.

True, but digital ownership is a fickle thing that depends in large part on how much I trust the seller. Between a >50% discount on Steam and a free game on Epic, I would still choose Steam every time, because I would feel like I “own” that game more than I would on Epic (where I would still hesitate to buy anything more than the 2-3 free games that would interest me there).

Day 148 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (lemmy.world) angielski

Today’s game is Oxygen Not Included. Every once and a while i’ll hop into this game and just build a colony. Usually they go to shit real fast though. This one i decided to try scheduling my duplicates, so i have them split between night shifts and day shifts equally....

For me, it feels like a mix between Rimworld (colonists with schedules, traits, and skills) and Factorio (complex production chains, finite resources). Add to that a unique physics system, where everything has a weight, a melting point, a conductivity and so on, and you’ve got ONI.

Also 90% of the development time went into making this feature, so a few cuts had to be made in less important areas like gameplay and story.

If I were a JRR Tolkien or Herbert with a universe in my mind, it would be so much more pleasing to make an engine that generates anything from that world that to just write out a few stories from it.

Tolkien was a linguist with a deep fondness for nature and spirituality. He loved creating languages and building beautiful, natural worlds around them. I can’t imagine a single person who would be less enamored by the idea of machinistic language devices that people use to “generate everything”. I think he would be either bored by this possibility or deeply disturbed.

rustydrd,

Ah yes, my favorite Besethda games series.

rustydrd,
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

The development cost was around $85 million, and I think EA kicked in $40 million for marketing and distribution.

Apparently, $40 million doesn’t buy you much in today’s market, because I’ve literally never heard of this game until now.

Soulspath Travelborne is going to be one hell of a game.

rustydrd,
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

I feel like, at this point, any enjoyment I still derive from Bethesda games is really just leftover nostalgia for Morrowind that will likely never come close again to how 14yo me was able to enjoy them, when they were still something new.

rustydrd, (edited )
@rustydrd@sh.itjust.works avatar

Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, any “Soulsborne” game really. I get why people like them, and I tried multiple times, but it just isn’t working on me.

Your numbers are off. The proportion of straight people is closer to 90% in western countries, and this is likely an overestimate as other sexual orientations are still stigmatized in most countries (source).

Love this idea. The turn-based system in FFX was my absolute favorite, and I was really sad they didn’t follow this direction further (even for FFX-II, like WTF).
