Really fun game, bought it a while ago on PC and finally getting around to it! It's beautiful and I find it funny how they worship a door

Ive never really played Diablo before and there is no way in hell I’m about to drop $70 on a game so I decided to go for 3. I’m really excited as they really are my type of games, I’ve played torchlight before.

I'm really stunned after playing this game, it's hard to believe that it was made by a somewhat indie development studio (Asobo). The last time I finished something and felt this emotionally exhausted was when I watched Apocalypse Now for the first time. This game really captures the brutality and despair of the middle ages in a way that more fantasy-oriented games do not. Of course, this game does have some fantasy elements, but for the most part it takes you on a journey with two children who have to make their way through a ruthless and uncaring world, constantly having their childhood ripped away and their faith in adults and humanity shattered. At the same time, this game is absolutely beautiful. I would put the visuals up against any game, period. You feel like you're there in medieval France. I need to go play some happy Mario games after this one. If you are an adult who handles depressing and dark things okay, and you have even a passing interest in the middle ages, I can't recommend this game enough (play the first one first though--Plague Tale Innocence). The core gameplay is a stealth game, but whether or not you like that style, the game is worth it and transcends the genre IMO.

Wanted to play it for awhile, but could not cough up the 60 euros for the pc version. It's maybe only in 720p, but costs are now 2 euro.

I was just randomly installing game from my (massive) library and this one is so much fun. 1. Setup kill zones with Arrow Wall + Tar Trap 2. Send orcs back to kill zone with Spring Traps 3. Endless fun There are a few traps seems pretty much useless tho (what's the point of Steam Trap?). Also I hate the maps that you can't focus on building 1 single kill zone. Just let me kill the orcs!

Hello gentlemen. It seems I've already have this in my collection, so maybe one of you want it? JR9R0-K3B50-W98G% % = G Steam code. Comment below after you've redeemed it.

It's a fast-paced, 1st person 3d platformer, which embraces the spirit of speedrunning. Highly recommend.

Steam Sky is a roguelike set in a steampunk environment that puts the player in command of a flying ship - managing your crew members, trading, crafting, etc.(in no particular order). If you appreciate what the developer makes and would like to support their efforts, then please consider buying their game on Itch or making a contribution on Liberapay! https://thindil.itch.io/steam-sky https://liberapay.com/thindil

Hello fellow patient gamers! Let us know what games are you playing this week. Have you been enjoying it? Have you any recommendations?

Truly a test of patience - this is an excellent modpack that unifies 3 classics together into the way I dreamed of playing them as a kid. Found it by accident a week ago, and it's been my short nightly unwind (trying to do a solo run because I always wanted to).

As many others here, I have accumulated a bit of a "backlog" over the years, consisting of games that were cheap to pick up on sale, games that I have/had general interest in, or new game releases. Whenever a new game came out, I felt kind of urged to play the new game, drop everything else, and quite often end up not picking up the "abandoned" games again. Sometime last year, when money was a bit tight, I just started playing games I already had instead of worrying about keeping up with new game releases, and it's been really liberating. I finished Mass Effect 1-3 over a combined ~100h, I platinumed Sekiro, Bloodborne, and started Dark Souls and Elden Ring, I found my love for Frostpunk and have been blasting that for the past months. I'm just having a great time overall. I think a good help in that regard was a comment I read on the rexxit equivalent of this community where they proposed to see games as countries and giving them a shot is like coming there to visit: visiting a country is cool, but you don't have stay there indefinitely to have a good time; it's always fine to leave the country and go visit another, and not seeing everything the country has to offer does not worsen your experience there. I don't stress about picking something back up again after having a good time with it and looking for something else to play. I don't stress about new releases (too much - Diablo 4 is currently pretty difficult to stay away from for me lol) because the game won't vanish magically if I check it out a week later, several months later, a year later. I just play whatever I feel like playing and whenever I feel like playing it. If I end up deleting something off the console - that's fine. There's always something else to play. Not really sure what my point is, really, but felt inclined to get the ball rolling in this community. I like the idea of being a patient gamer a lot, and it's helped me enjoy games a lot more than I used to, so I wanted to contribute too and be a more active part of the "movement". Thanks to everyone who's part of the community and who's been promoting good vibes!

**I love it.** Can anyone guess the game?

I've had a subscription to PS Plus for years now but rarely look at the games (I need to get an external drive or be less hesitant to delete stuff). What hidden gems are there in the backlog? I have a PS4 by the way, but I think the PS5 is too new to have hidden gems.

Silent Hill 2 was the first Silent Hill game on PS2 and it's a massive step up visually from the original game on PS1, and it still looks great today! The cutscenes look a bit dated but not awful, and generally the in engine cutscenes look quite good. The story of Silent Hill 2 follows a man named James Sunderland who receives a letter from his dead wife telling him to come to their special place in Silent Hill. James quickly heads to the town to investigate the mysterious letter and find out if his wife Mary is still alive.... The story is definitely the strongest part of Silent Hill 2 and the mystery of Mary's letter keeps the game engaging for the appropriate run time of 6-8 hours. I think the story continues to get better as the game goes on. Having a small cast of 4-5 characters was a smart choice as you get to see them go on their their own adventure around silent hill independent of your actions. It makes them feel more real and "alive". Rather than just being there to give you quest objectives, or point you in the right direction they all act independent and don't take much interest in your actions. I think the only way I can describe the voice acting in this game is weird, I know a lot of people love it, and some people hate it. I did enjoy the voice acting but I've seen a lot of people say the "bad" voice acting is an intentional design choice which I disagree with. I think it's just very hit and miss. James is pretty bland and monotone but Maria is great, her anyway outburst is one of the best parts of the whole game. One interesting feature Silent Hill 2 has that I haven't seen in any other franchise is there's difficulty settings for "Action" and "Puzzles" independent of each other. I definitely think this makes the game more accessible to people who might get frustrated with puzzle games, or don't have the technical ability for action games as you can choose their ability independently. On the topic of replay value this game has plenty, the game is relatively short if you know what you're doing. There's a total of six endings, 3 Main endings, a secret ending, and two joke endings. Unlike most games which take you to the end of the game and let you pick ending red blue or green the endings are Silent Hill 2 happen naturally and are unlocked depending on how you played the game. There's no "good" ending or "bad" ending, there's just three alternative endings which all make a good conclusion to the story, the joke endings aren't very conclusive but they are quite funny. Some "Directors Cut's" versions of the game have a short extra gameplay mode or sub story where you play as one of the other characters and lasts around an hour but it's nothing special. It doesn't really add much to the plot but just helps slightly explain this character's origins. Overall Silent Hill 2 holds up really well and is definitely worth playing if you can stomach the controls and overlook some shoddy voice acting. This game is a classic for a reason and is probably one of the best Survival Horror Games ever made. Unfortunately as far as I'm aware Silent Hill 2 is not available on modern consoles. I think the most accessible version would be the PC release, as the game is very old so any toaster can run it. There's a mod called Silent Hill 2 enhanced edition which adds a lot of Quality of life enhancements and I'd generally advise against the HD collection on Xbox 360 and PS3 unless you have no other option. These versions of the games are very buggy and visually were arguably worse than the originals. It has brand new voice acting but I couldn't comment on the quality as I haven't played it. How do you feel about the second game being a standalone story and unrelated to the Story of 1 and 3 (3 being a direct sequel to the first game), do you think this is a strength or a weakness?

Do you miss the days or fixed camera angles, janky combat and bad voice acting? Then this may be the perfect game for you! Alisa is a love letter to classic survival horror games with a focus fixed camera angles, tank controls and obtuse puzzles. If you like the original Resident Evil or Silent Hill games this what you're looking for. Alisa has a rather unique setting taking place in a large doll house full of creepy dolls, clowns and more monstrosities that I won't spoil here. The gameplay has you exploring a large doll house (see: mansion) full of monsters and puzzles where you have to find the right key or item to progress. Ammo is somewhat scarce, however enemies drop currency upon defeat which you can use to buy upgrades and ammo. The upgrades include various dresses which give you different stat boosts such as taking less damage, or faster movement. You have to decide how much ammo you want to use to clear a room and whether it's worth the exchange as enemies don't respawn. After you finish exploring an area you will fight a boss, which upon defeat will give you access to the next area of the game. The combat can be quite difficult however the game has has some options to make the game easier with things like an auto-aim toggle, The level design is quite good and the different areas of the game all feel unique with different enemy types, visual styles and music, and as you progress you'll find shortcuts linking the areas together for faster travel. The develooper has continued to add support post launch and the patches have continued to add content including new areas and endings. There won't be any more content updates for the game, so now is the perfect time to jump in and experience everything. It takes about 8 hours to beat on your first playthrough, but there are 3 endings to unlock and New Game+ has additional features, so there's good replay value with bonus costumes and the like. If you're a fan of old school survival horror pick this up you won't regret it.

For me: - **Breath of the Wild**: 400 hours in, have done only 50% of the game. But now that TotK is out, I'm not sure if I'll ever complete BotW. Perhaps if I'm stuck on a deserted island with my Switch and have nothing better to do, I may pick it up again. - **Skyrim**: Countless hours, never really done much of the main storyline, always get lost in modding and optimising the game. Own it on practically all platforms too. But one of these days, I'll get to the main quest... - **Dangerous Dave**: Been playing this DOS game on and off since 1990 but still haven't managed to beat it. I always die around level 6/7, blasted sun keeps killing me.

I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it. Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it. I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know. I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.

Anything good? I'm hoping to get some time to play Return of the Obra Dinn if I could get any significant amount of time blocked off to game.

Hey everyone, We're coming up on a year anniversary (I think) of this community and I thought I'd do some giveaways to celebrate that. It's semi-annoying that not all game stores have digital gift cards you can purchase so there are a few options here. 1. **Amazon digital gift card**: for those of you who buy physical games 2. **Physical Steam gift card**: the slowest option, as it requires me to leave my house and buy a stamp and mail something (the horror). 3. **Gifted game directly in Steam / GOG.com** For the gifted games / gift cards it'll be capped at $30 -- after all, we're talking about old games here right? If you want a few games that total up to $30, that's cool too. **I'm going to pick two members at random from those who reply here as the winners.** Just comment with what option you prefer, and ideally tell us about what game you'd like to get (I'd prefer to limit the low-effort comments if we can. I like the discussions people have here so please do try to comment more than just "#1" ). I'll sticky this post and will leave it open for 2 weeks (**end of April is the deadline**) Thanks for keeping this community a cool place with good discussions! ----- # UPDATE 4/30/24: This contest is officially over! The 2 randomly chosen winnders are: ## @[email protected] ## @[email protected] Congrats! I will be messaging you both individually to get your email addresses or steam/gog usernames so I can gift you your games! Thanks again to everyone again for keeping this place going!

I checked that Lemmy Explorer site and searched for "patientgamers" and this community don't show up. Just the ones on lemmy.world and sh.itjustworks I was just wondering how you all found this place. Are you all on lemmy.ml? Does this community show up on any lemmy indexer?

It's only been 2 weeks since starting this community up but I do love how active it has been. Lemmy was very much a ghost town for me when I first signed up and couldn't find any communities to match the ones that filled my feed on reddit. Now I see a healthy amount of activity in this and other communities that have sprung up recently. Really cool to see people starting threads and offering the nuanced discussions on games here--which is really the stuff I was hoping would happen. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted and commented and contributed to making this community alive. Keep it up!

I feel like I've skipped a lot of months the last year or two, but I got this month's Humble Choice right away. Several games that have been sitting on my wishlist for ages were on here. Anyone else snagging this one?

Just playing through Dying Light again it’s a good solid B+ title. But what pushes it to great and easy to recommend is the Following DLC which, instead of being more city-bound parkour based gameplay it throws you into the countryside with a vehicle. Almost like a new game in itself.

I recently bought a new laptop which can run Lexy's Legacy of the Dragonborn modpack and set it up. It took me ~2 weeks to put everything together but it works and I'm enjoying the mods! Especially the museum which helps tremendously with my desire to hoard items.

Hi all, As the title says , Timothy Cain , creator of the fallout series started a youtube channel where he discusses Fallout and game development. It's really interesting listening to the history and politics that went behind.

hello! just to spark conversations...does anyone like visual novels? I'm loving this chill and beautiful 1996 scifi VN called ["YU-NO"](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/YU-NO:_A_Girl_Who_Chants_Love_at_the_Bound_of_this_World)...amazing music too! this classic was for PC-98 (a pioneer in many ways, it paved the way for others like Steins;Gate) with Sega Saturn and Windows releases soon after (and fantranslated in english for PC), but there is also a [2019 officially translated remake for Steam/PC](https://store.steampowered.com/app/912450/YUNO_A_girl_who_chants_love_at_the_bound_of_this_world/), PS4, and Nintendo Switch sad that the creator and composer both passed away...they had such a groundbreaking vision...

Pretty much what the title says 😊

I played this game back when it released on Gamecube. I honestly have almost 0 memories of this game. I only kinda sorta remember a specific room or two and not even well enough to really explain them. I am not sure why I do not remember it very well. I remember Majora's mask much better and I had only played that once at launch as well. At this point, I have finished the first dungeon and it was pretty easy. I wonder if this game is just an easier game then modern zelda titles. Although, it seems like it is easier than Ocarina. At least so far. The enemies feel meatier. Like, they take more damage and don't bounce around as easily. I am not enjoying it as much as I thought i would, but I am going to stick with it. I kinda want to play through the 3d zelda games again. I keep trying Majora's mask and then putting it down before I even leave the starting town. I am playing on a PC, but I'd much rather use a steam deck to play as I do not often sit at my PC unless I am working.

This game was my first jrpg as a kid. Well after Mario rpg and Pokémon. But I guess it always classified it different as it was a more serious game. I was really young so it’s cool to play it now and better understand the story. But I did not remember the battles being so long. It seems that every encounter so far has been a really long experience. I just graduated seed training, so not to far into the remake. Im not worried about spoilers as I’ve played through this game when it was new, and watched a speed run of it a few years ago.

I just played through Katamari 2 on the switch, but I played it way back on PS2. I always like Katamari 1 better. Katamari 2 tried a lot of new things, like keeping the katamari on fire by continuously rolling things up, or trying to roll it to a specific size. None of them were bad, but they were not particularly fun. Most importantly, the music from Katamari 1 is so much better. Those songs have been ingrained in my brain since I was a child. I still um/sing them around the house. After finishing Katamari 2, I booted up Katamari 1 and immediately it felt like the movement was a bit quicker. I think the next Katamari release was on the 360. I am not sure if that was the final release. I hope we get a remaster of it as I would like to see how it changed due to the increased power of that console generation.

**Very Early Game Spoilers** I am playing Grandia 1 for the first time on the Switch and it hit me so hard when Justin moved away. For reference, I moved to another country when I was 30 and I have not returned to my home country since. The plan was to come back at some point, but I have built a life here and have been married to a local. My parents came out to visit recently and I talk to them a few times week, so it's not like it is some super sad story, but it was a tough part of the game to work through. I related to Justin so much and have been drawn in to this game so much due to the characters. I am still really early in this game. I just made it across the sea and look forward to becoming an adventurer. One thing that I find interesting about this game is that the style of the game and menus are like a mix of PS1 and SNES graphics. I guess this was an early PS1 game.

Wow, what a game. I was inspired by Max0r's videos about it to buy it on steam and play it. So far, I've been really digging the combat and the story is hilarious.

I play mainly Antimatter Dimensions and NGU Idle, but I was wondering if anyone else here is a fan of games that require a *significant* amount of patience.

So I am a JRPG lover from an early age but somehow never got around to this game; I apparently purchased it, I think back on the PS3 and never got around to it. But with the HD Re-Master I finally got around to playing. What a great story, great characters, I loved the mixed battle system. Ironically, the lack of grind (most enemies provide little XP, only bosses really level you) was much appreciated as my time these days is limited. Much overlooked gem that I really enjoyed, anyone else only discover it with it latest release?

In my case there's a huge timeframe between 2008 and 2025 I have played mainly multiplayer games like Tibia, Runescape, Realm of Mad God, Counter-Strike, Killing Floor and rarely touched singleplayer games. I have barely touched GTA1, GTA2, GTA 4 or GTA 5 (finished GTA3 and GTA:SA not so long time ago). I have spent 30 mins in Skyrim. In Witcher 3 2-3 hours while (Witcher 1,2 stay unfinished). HalfLife series keep waiting for me to come back and lead Gordon to the end of the story. I can go with more and more examples with classic singleplayer games which patiently wait in my library and if you ask me, the multiplayer games really "help in this regard.
