>I played it on my phone which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster. I loved it and I thought it was great! I definitely felt a little overpowered due to not fleeing at all. I would recommend checking it out, I got just under 28 hours of playtime on my first run.

cross-posted from: https://midwest.social/post/2310989 > It’s a great game and I’m so glad I finally got to play it. > > I’m running a RTX 2070 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600 with 32 gigs of RAM. Using Xenia-Canary I could run the game at 1080p with decent framerate, but that caused some really unpleasant brightness issues at night, so I stuck with 720p and honestly stopped noticing the low resolution after a while. The game ran at a stable 60 all the way to the end and I encountered absolutely no issues besides some flickering shadows once or twice. > > If you have a decent gaming PC and have never played the original RDR I strongly recommend you try this. It can be a bit of a faff to find what emulator settings work for you, but once you get it working properly, it’s an absolute blast. RDR still holds up really well in my opinion. >

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon. If it's currently on sale, a link to the sale & price would be great.

I haven't made a new thread weekly exactly, but with the amount of activity it might need to be fortnightly, here's another recommendations thread. Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.

**Update:** As pointed out by Twitter user @videotechx, Rockstar actually spoke to releasing two “new iterations of previously-released titles” that are strictly ports or remastered titles (and not sequels) in Rockstar’s FY 2024, which is any time between March 2023 and March 2024.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/706764 > So I consider myself a very casual Pikmin fan. I haven't played the first 2 since they came out for the GameCube, and have only played some of the 3rd one back on WiiU. So with Pikmin 4 around the corner and Nintendo shadow dropping the first two on Switch, I figured it was time for a replay. > > I just completed Pikmin 1, and what an absolutely fantastic experience. I think back when I was a kid playing the first one may have been just a bit too much strategy for me to comprehend. But now may years later, I just absorbed myself into it. > > Pacing out every day to explore the areas and devise a strategy of what I could reasonably tackle, judging if I should spend the day going straight for ship parts or doing pikmin harvesting... It all comes together with such an incredible sense of flow. The 30 Day time limit really makes you consider all of your actions. And it seemed like an intimidating limit at first, but the 30 Day cycle was much more forgiving than I expected. Even if I had a rough day, I could at least put my Pikmin away and just run around and assess the areas as Olimar. > > And even as just an upscale, the visuals are brilliant. I love that early GameCube era look of games like this and Luigis Mansion.The way the environments and camera are designed do a great job making you feel like a tiny man in a big strange world. > > I feel like I've fallen in love with a franchise all over again. I'm starting Pikmin 2 tonight, and can't wait to play 4 next month. If you haven't tried out this series, please do yourself a favor and grab at least the first game on the eshop. It's a perfect slice of pure Nintendo.

Another week, another recommendations thread. Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.

Feel free to let everyone know what you're currently playing, recommend some great titles from yesteryear (especially on sale).


Original post at [[email protected]](https://beehaw.org/post/766049) ---- I see the phrase 'ahead of it's time' used a lot like a long with words such as 'underrated' or 'epic' or 'literally', or 'ironic'. I read how ahead of it's time is used for literally any popular game that it alters the meaning of the phrase. Anyways here is a list of games I feel would have sold or been more known had they been released several years in the future: - **Jurassic Park Trespasser**: the YouTube channel ResearchIndicates and one of the most informative Let's Play videos of all time best explains this game. JPT had a rather ambitious physics engine AND open world environments which seemed pretty much undoable at the time, along with non gameplay breaking story flow with Attenborough himself. But just like with No Man's Sky the hype engine and promising too much got the devs way over their heads and failed. Valve was able to continue what JPT started with Half Life, but I imagine if it had more time JPT could have been an immersive classic. - **Time Splitters Future Perfect** an FPS with sharable Map Creation content. The problem I feel was many people didn't try this as Halo's Forge wasn't out yet to bring to light what user content can really do, and less accessible online play at the time. - **Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3** Okay this doesn't count, but I just want to mention this because the official Sony Network Adapter wasn't even out yet when this released. You have to use a specific brand of Linksys or D-Link USb to Ethernet adapter on your PS2 to get it to work 😄. So I classify this ahead of it's time due to the first party product not existing yet. - **Psychonauts**. This was an easy one, non Mario platformers weren't the trend among the ocean of best selling Xbox titles. Thankfully A Hat In Time much later showed the more mainstream appeal of small dev platformers. - **Dragon Quest 1 & 5 in the US**. Not in Japan as you could shut down Japan for a day with the release of a new Dragon Quest game (tip for invaders). DQ has always struggled in the US partly due to, oddly enough, taking so long to reach the US. It's a mix of too early and too late, with DQ 1 inventing the traditional console RPG format, and DQ5 being Pokemon before Pokemon, to quote Tim Rogers. But early DQ games releasing far too late on the NES life and not releasing on SNES I feel could have made DQ games closer to FF games in the US

 Fallout 4's announcement was a breath of fresh air after years of game trailers with exponentially long delays. It was the first time in the video game industry that we were experiencing multiple year periods between the announcement and release. When Bethesda put up a [countdown clock](https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/02/fallout-4-countdown-clock-appears-runs-out-tomorrow) on their website in **June**, we had no idea that what we were going to be shown would release in **November** of the same year.  I think the whole industry changed its outlook on announcement windows from how much hype came from not just the announcement that a new Fallout was coming for the new console gen, but the excitement that we'd actually be able to play it within only a few months. IMO the RPG elements were not as nice after having played The Witcher 3 just a few months prior, but the feeling of being the wanderer in a wasteland was still very cool and I enjoyed the building additions.  The Pip Boy might have been a bit of a [flop](https://www.trustedreviews.com/opinion/why-the-fallout-4-pip-boy-edition-is-a-huge-disappointment-2926374), but the application itself was still a cool novelty addition to the game for 2015. I do wish that second screen applications had grown and gotten better, but it appears they needed to be good from the start for wide adoption. The colour palate was massive improvement over the beige green and browns from the PS3/360 generation, I still have no idea why so many games used to have no colour to them.  There aren't that many games that have as much of a mod scene like Bethesdas games, if you don't already have the game and are going to buy it, get it on PC if you can. Also make sure to buy the GOTY Edition with all the DLC, as there are many mods that are dependent on all of the content. I would also avoid the Creation Club and get accustomed to the [NexusMods page](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4), you should download and setup [Vortex Mod Manager](https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex/) which handles mods fairly well. [**Best Fallout 4 mods 2023**](https://www.pcgamesn.com/fallout-4/best-fallout-4-mods) In order for mods to work on the PS4, within Sony's required limitations, mods themselves on consoles can't be much more than short in code length. So the Creation Club which was designed for consoles does not host the same quality in library. Fallout 4 got an 88% on [OpenCritic](https://opencritic.com/game/1508/fallout-4/reviews) with one reviewer saying this; >Bethesda has created another game you can lose your life in. New experiences just keep coming, and you always have another perk to unlock. ~ [Game Informer](https://www.gameinformer.com/games/fallout_4/b/xboxone/archive/2015/11/09/a-familiar-wasteland.aspx) The game with all DLC is -75% on Steam at $9.99 for the next week, even cheaper in my region with AUD.
