It’s such an obvious and simple thing but it really feels revolutionary and high-tech.

Don’t forget AA, doing pretty good too.

I’ve been dreaming of this since the first steam controller released! I absolutely loved the first one but it definitely had it’s quirks and issues. This seems just like the upgrade that I wished for in every way possible with some nice additional stuff on top. I just hope it won’t be $100+

Nah, there’s a lot of text guides too. But the problem is that they’re often just copied from one source that somehow manages to get basic shit wrong every damn time. And videos definitely have their place, so many times I’ve first searched for a text guide and only got more confused. As long as the videos are short and to the point I always appreciate them. Found some great channels that way that have helped me through several games.

Planet crafter - Holy shit is that game janky, ugly, badly designed etc.

Conan Exiles - I did enjoy it for a while, but it quickly becamse such a chore since so little is explained so you spend so much time having to look things up, and even then it’s often not obvious what to do. I payed solo, and there is a point where doing that just feels impossible, I ended up wanting to cheat to do some things and that’s a point I never cross so I just stopped playing.

I really want to play some game like those; survival with base building, exploration etc, But I think I’ve exhausted the list of ones that are good enough for me. I’ve played Minecraft, Terraria, Star Bound, Enshrouded, Subnautica, Grounded, Valheim, Satisfactory, Factorio, The Forest and more that I’m not remembering right now. There are some that are in early access that I’m interested in but I’ve stopped playing EA games, I now always wait till full release.

If anyone has any suggestions I’d be very happy, I’m craving something to dive deep into. I’m only interested in Single player games through, at least ones that can be played as such.

That just isn’t true. Pokemon never became unpopular, but only had some lesser years. I have a 13 yo half brother and pokemon has been an ever popular thing in his whole school.

Why watch playthroughs at all? Just wait till the games are on sale. And only a year isn’t that long, wait more and get better deals with more complete games. There’s nothing saying you need to hurry in any way, and several things saying it’s a good idea to wait. There are more than enough games available for anyone to not have to constantly claw at the newest releases in any way.

I’m waiting for it to become “free”, no idea how long that’ll take though.

It’s not like there aren’t several alternatives, especially ones that are basically the same. Lawnchair, Hyperion etc.

Yeah, I never finished that and didn’t even get the sequel because it felt like it was deliberately designed to waste time to pad out the game time. Hollowknight never feels like that even though it took me several tries to finish it and it made me mad because of how unbeatable some bosses felt.

10 million copies is a huge understatement, it’ll surely sell a lot more than that.

“What other platforms are there?” “Oh, you mean for other platforms?”

Uuuh…

One of your all-time favourites, fails to spell the name correctly.

Bloolimes 2 acidic Bloogaloo.

Being such an obvious troll is just as pathetic as actually thinking that. No matter how you turn it, you’re a pathetic piece of shit.

Those are called trikes… obviously. How have you not figured that out? Bikes are called what they are because they have two wheels, “Bi” meaning two, same as we humans are bipedal because we walk on two legs. If a person had a third leg they wouldn’t be “bipedal with three legs”, they’d be tripedal.

I seriously don’t understand how anyone older than a literal child fails to understand that.

Portal 2 and Warframe. I’m not sure about a third, several contenders. And can’t really say which spot any are in, feels more like they share 1st.

Questions like this are always hard, it’s never a certain answer and it shifts over time, no matter if something new comes along to take a place or not. It’s as fluid as anything else.

“PS2 and PS2”

Oh, I didn’t realise it’s an actual game, haha. My bad, I thought they didn’t catch an autocorrect mistake.

You mean BeamNG right?

Seriously? It’s been out for a few weeks, obviously there aren’t any. And since Nintendo spent a lot of time and money to shut down most original Switch emulators I doubt we’ll see S2 ones anytime soon. The increased S2 hardware power, also obviously, means you’d need a current or even future top-end PC to be able to handle the emulation.

Your comment is on the level of a 5-year-old asking if they can play Switch 2 on their phone or something. The answer is so incredibly obvious.

I’d taken a little break from Warframe, started playing a few years ago and got to 1,200 hours. Went online to watch Tennocon (the yearly Warframe convention) which was the 10th one, so big stuff was shown. I wouldn’t say I had gotten bored of the game, just needed to breathe for a bit, but man did they reawaken my excitement for it with everything. There is no game like it, and no developer like Digital Extremes. They’re as close to perfect as you could get, which isn’t completely perfect but pretty damn close (at the very least compared to other AA/AAA studios).

So did many of the other big AAA devs, then they changed. You’re not making any point at all. And don’t get me wrong, what Larian has done is amazing, and the response from the rest of the AAA game studios is both hilarious and depressing, but sadly not surprising. Most AAA studios got big by doing good, they wouldn’t have gotten that big otherwise. But then either new people came in an fucked them up or the ones already there got greedy and lost touch with reality, it’s the same with many other things.

I was broken from the start, but also lucky enough to be born in a country that gives me the help and time to find what’s wrong and fix it without asking for anything back. Because my road to be able to work has been, is and will be long I have so much time to enjoy what I can (within the bounties of my illness) and games are a big part of that. Gaming has helped me so much, and I wouldn’t trade my unthinkable amount of hours exploring these cool worlds for anything else.

You don’t need to get just new games. Do what a ton of people do: wait till they’re on sale. There is literally no hurry, wait till any game reaches the price point you think its worth. And then you get the best possible version of the game, both in terms of patches, most of the time with DLC included and the modding community has had time to make stuff (if that’s relevant).

And it’s an even better experience to emulate too, you get lots of options for the same or better performance, resolution, better than default graphics options, mods etc.

I’m a Borderlands fan, but it absolutely isn’t even in the same universe of quality as BG3. Borderlands is dumb, pretty shitty and lost quality with each game. It’s mindless fun, like B movie popcorn flicks.

They did steal artwork, but the whole aesthetic wasn’t stolen… the stuff they stole is a very small part of the game (I’m pretty sure, haven’t and won’t play it). I’m in no way defending them, but saying the whole aesthetic was stolen just because they used some text and icons from someone istället just dumb.

Knowing even the basics about this game and its devs should show you that you shouldn’t care about it.

Why are you writing it as “charme”? It’s just “charm”.

It seems to be MMO in a way I am interested, where you can basically play it solo and not be forced to play against or with other players. Kinda like Minecraft survival servers (with PvP optional), Rust, Once Human etc.

Cocoon is very different, the worlds inside worlds puzzles are mind-breaking but really fun. Highly recommended!

Warframe, I’m at the point where I can start steel path, but for some reason I decided I wanted to max-level all factions before doing so, and I’ve come too far to not do it, only got 3 left.

Nintendo often use bad names for things, even stuff we’re now used to like “super mario 64” is pretty damn bad IMO. They often go the most obvious and easy way, and that often ends up being boring/bad.

Warframe isn’t a FPS.

That’s so dumb, and also so expected.

And you just ignored the rest of the reasons, and to add to those: automatic updates.

When people found out PhysX doesn’t work on the new Nvidia cards I saw several people here on Lemmy say that it doesn’t matter because almost no one plays older games. I seriously don’t understand how anyone could think that, it’s astoundingly stupid and ignorant.

Not that any were planned, pretty sure they’re done with Ori.

Wh…what?
