So it runs the same games, but faster. Not exactly what I’d call a “massive upgrade”, especially when you compare PS1 to PS2 or PS2 to PS3

That’s because the kids you’re aiming at are busy with Roblox and whatever shitty “freemium” phone games they get their hands on

I don’t think my computer can even run the game, the high requirements are the biggest headscratcher for me. One of the appeals of The Sims, at least 1 and 2 (maybe 3?), was that they could run on comparatively lower powered computers of the time, which greatly helped with sales

emergency-patch an oversight that allowed children to be killed by driving into them when in a car.

So, you can kill people with your car, but not kids?

I filled the survey as well. It’s mostly focused on “games preservation”. I’m not up to pay subscription for anything they’re willing to offer and even made sure to tell them that I’m willing to pay a premium for whatever useful content (games) end up exclusive to subscribers

Someone high up in WB asked for it, clearly someone who knows better than all those developers and consumers

FOMO, fear of missing out

Oh, of course the game is gacha waifu central, what the fuck else did I expect?

This is a pretty damning “they used assets of when they were under contract”, so, for once, squeenix isn’t entirely in the wrong.

On the other hand, why the fuck did they even cancel the production? The studio went ahead and released it, with people apparently enjoying the game, so that’s on you being stupid, squeenix.

Worst case scenario, 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Roblox isn’t so much “a game” but a collection of thousands of player created games (or “experiences” as the company calls them). You can find a bit of everything, from obstacle courses to first person shooters to casinos.

Since Roblox is so heavily targeted at children, it’s very easy to find pedophiles or other people with ill intent. Moderation doesn’t exist, afaik

What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don’t they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?

Bought X4 some time ago, finally started playing. Sometimes I feel like I’m spending more times checking the controls than actually playing. I’ve only did the first few timelines, it’s a good thing they exist as they’re kinda like arcade levels and extended tutorials.

Might start the open universe journey today.

If it’s going to run android, it’ll do as well as the Oyua. Those face buttons look like they’ll be awful to press

I hate it that you may be right

You should definitely play UT99, tho. Not as fast paced as 2004, but holds up incredibly well

Does whatever the hell I can manage to scrounge on Mothergunship counts?

Half the options of the original FF7

I’m pretty sure nobody had the option to save Aeris, side with Sephiroth, finish blowing up Shinra before having to change to disc 2, etc

FromSoft had been making those games for the better part of 15 years, building and iterating on what came before.

Longer, if we really want to get pedantic. King’s Field, the game and series that is now the spiritual predecessor to the Souls genre, is from 1994, so we could probably say they have been refining their own flavor of action RPG for over 30 years now.

The freedom that Morrowind gives you has never been matched by other Bethesda titles. I think the only path that’s blocked to the player is joining the Sixth House, but at least you can kill Vivec before confronting Dagoth Ur

I can’t speak for Daggerfall’s freedom as I haven’t really delved into it, but I know it has 6 different endings depending on which faction you ally with.

That works out to 12 hours per day, Monday through Friday, which Brin calls the “sweet spot of productivity.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH get fucked, assclown. The sweet spot of productivity is 6h per day, tops.

Besides, “torture yourself 12h a day so we can be the first to bring AI overlords into our world” is less likely to entice the workforce than “we’ll suck 100ml of blood off all of you in order to keep my skin young”

Regarding Fable, get the original first (fable anniversary on steam). Since you’re big on JRPGs, you might want to check out Ys, Trails and FATE series. You will definitely want to check out Metaphor ReFantazio

You can also experiment some of the “only on PC” or “best on PC” games like Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster (try the 1st game for both) - neither has an available demo, but will definitely run on your computer. Wait for a sale, shouldn’t take too long. Factorio, on the other hand, has a demo that lets you experiment and get a good feel of what to expect of the rest of the game. If you’d like something comparatively simpler and better looking, try Satisfactory instead (no demo)

On the RTS front, you can actually play the first Starcraft 2 campaign for free, though you need Battle.Net instead of Steam. That game can be a good introduction to the genre and, if you enjoy it, I can point out some other games in the same vein.

A personal recommendation of mine is Palworld. I like the gameplay loop.

Also, please learn to use commas.

Catherine Full Body Alan Wake Ni no Kuni2 The forgotten city Until dawn A plague tale 1 innocence TLOU1 Uncharted

Never enough dakka.

Related game: Mothergunship

From the looks of one of the reviews, a 3-week long daily grind quest if you want to get the good stuff without paying. Plus “ACE” anti cheat which will remain installed after you uninstall the game and an overly long, forced tutorial.

Overall, possibly fun if you only intend to play it sporadically and don’t mind not having everything, or abandoning it within 1 or 2 months.

“Top metaverse creators”

You mean, fuckzuck’s metaverse or…?

top Roblox and Fortnite creators

Oh, those. Dunno how stuff is for fortnite creators, but roblox would probably get a much better deal than their current hamster wheel

It’s also super ironic that rockstar, who shutdown several GTA mods, is now looking into making their game “the place to make your mods EXPERIENCES”

Is there any minecraft clone that uses non-blocky character models? Or how would one go to mod Luanti to use different meshes for some of the characters?

My dummy’s perspective: titanfall parkour, minus titans, plus metroid prime ball rolling

Constellation 4K collection on Nexus so that’s around 200 mods

You mean this one? https://next.nexusmods.com/starfield/collections/npk3lv

I can’t login atm and while ublock can remove the login overlay, I can’t open the lists to see the proper list of mods and changes.

Maybe it works with shareholders, who seem to be as invested and interested in quality as EA CEO

Man, I gotta play the collections someday. I think I got all of them on GOG

I’m also on team HoMM5. Dark Messiah was tons of fun, kicking enemies off cliffs and using the ultimate telekinesis to gravity gun their asses away!

Sure. First, you have to create a universe…

Kinda, but not quite. The main difference, imo, is that consoles have several anti-tampering measures in place, often as exclusive hardware, to ensure owners don’t jailbreak. The PC is, by design, open and “unsafe”, without measures to stop owners from doing whatever.

I thought the first gamergate was about gatekeeping women away from games games journalism. Imagine getting mad at trans people existing in a game where shapeshifting monsters and magic exist.

Please point out where I implied that corporations got greedy “only now”. Hint: i said “since forever”, the implication is that they were always shit. Then again, can’t expect much from you.

I’ve had plenty of experience with Dwarf Fortress, but never managed to fully weaponize magma before the FPS death killed my fortress. Using bridges to atom smash raids was always funny as hell.

I know Rimworld is a lot more expansive in some areas but, much like Factorio, is a game I’m avoiding because I don’t need yet another addiction 😅

ITT we can see hardcore gamurs that eat the shit from gamergate and gamergate 2: sweetbaby boogaloo without putting 2 and 2 together

Activision is a lefty company with a lefty culture. Dear fucking lord, that has to be one of the worst takes I’ve read on lemmy. What’s next, Mark Zuckerberg is a deep cover lefty librul?

Yea yea, it’s all sweetbaby and DEI fault and not corporations being greedy hellholes that only worry about quarterly profits since forever. /s

I like systems that allow for outrageous combos, whether unintentionally or by design. Roguelikes and roguelites usually have them, but it’s almost entirely luck based. Dynasty Warriors 8 allows for plenty of OP combos if you manage the right weapon attributes. Skyrim and its broken as fuck perfectly balanced enchanting + alchemy (or Morrowind’s even more perfectly balanced permanent fortify attribute magic)

Amazing game. I finished it once, tried to finish a second time one or two months afterwards and I got stuck before getting the red cube upgrade. Felt like my success was a fluke

Diablo 1 and 2 for the simplest, RE4 for one that really takes your time
