If you only judge games based on graphics, I understand your point of view.

But I think it can be argued that Nintendo’s gameplay/design is pretty often up to date, if not ahead of it’s time. And tbh to me that matters the most.

Ex: Mario Wonder, Odyssey, BOTW, TOTK, Metroid Dread, Animal Crossing, etc

Dude it’s not a dig lmao

You just have some privileges that allow you to have more free time. If I was you I probably wouldn’t do anything differently

Yeah this screams privilege lol

Oddly enough I’ve been playing High on Life on the Steamdeck. I give it a solid 6/10.

The art style is cool and the characters aren’t as annoying as I thought they would be, but damn is it shallow.

All levels are basically the same but the gunplay and movement are nice enough to keep me around. I just play it while watching TV with my girlfriend. Nice mix of a wave shooter and platforming. It really reminds me of Doom in a way

I once knew a guy named Harry Hooker

How are you liking cult of the lamb? It seems like fun

NBA 2k Playgrounds - fun game for quick 30 min play sessions on the steam deck

Wrestling Empire - might not quite be patient since it’s not that old, but it kinda is in a way lol. Just a lot of fun and I love the role playing aspect of it

How come? I’ve been out of the open source loop recently

What mods do you currently use?

This is just my theory, but with the price of game development increasing so rapidly, I think it’s getting harder for the impatient to cover the development costs and make a profit off shitty games, unless the game has a huge following. Games like COD, Diablo, Star Wars, etc.

For games without that following, I think they are definitely being punished for their bad practices. Like Gotham Knights, Red Fall, Saints Row, etc. Games that cost so much that they have potential to shut down studios

I’ve never had that thought, but I often think about driving over a curb. I play a lot of racing games too

You must not be outside then

In the communities where this music is popular, there are definitely a lot of classic songs coming out that aren’t just background noise, and they actually turn up the clubs.

To people outside of these communities it might seem like they only survive 5 years, but if you’re inside you’ll recognize patterns in songs that keep coming up and that people listen to the most. That’s what really makes them classics, not just random people on Lemmy deeming them as such.

Bad bunny, El Alfa, Tokischa, Chucky73, RaiwAlejandro, and Daddy Yankee have all been relasing songs that the community will remember for a long time and deem classics. Reggaeton is going through a second, smaller, golden age and it will be remembered.

Your comment sounds a bit racist ngl

I didn’t know this. Do you like it?

HMM III was the first game I played in the turn based strategy genre. I had never played anything similar really, but I wanted to get into the genre and I decided to start with one a lot of people consider a classic.

My gaming knowledge started with the PS1 era playing games like crash bandicoot, THPS, and others like that. I didn’t get into PC gaming until around 2016 and now games I play are Death Stranding, DOOM 2016, Skyrim, BOTW, CSGO etc.

I’ve tried a wide variety of games besides those, and I truly didn’t know what the game was asking from me until I looked it up. Maybe the game gave me enough and I just didn’t connect the dots in my head. I’m not sure, but all I know is my experience which I struggled with

All I’m saying is that I’ve never met anyone who didn’t understand a game like DOOM or the classic Marios. There’s clearly a difference in language that isn’t as common in modern/more mainstream games. Not saying HMM III wasn’t mainstream during it’s time, but I’ve never heard anyone of my generation who has played it or heard of it

If you’re talking about Elder Scrolls Online, then I had the same experience. It’s too repetitive and not satisfying enough

I was just thinking this exact same thing… but about Red Dead Redemption 2. I had to stop playing it because it had no respect for my time.

I’m used to driving to places to start a mission like in all the other GTA games, but in RDR2, it would be about 10 minutes of riding a horse before the real mission started.

The animations take way too long sometimes, and cutscenes and a lot of dialogue are unnecessary and feel like padding. Those 1-2 second animations add up when it’s a 50+hr game

Personally I love that era of graphics tbh. I bought Valheim on the Steam sale just for the jank graphics lol

What’s so different about the first two Baldur’s Gate games? I was thinking about getting the first one on my phone

I haven’t played it, but it’s interesting that it’s too difficult.

A lot of the games I go back to from the NES era are often too difficult for me. I find a lot of them to be unfair and I wonder if the difficulty something that was brought over from the arcade games form right before it

Either that or padding to make the game longer. If that’s the case, I prefer side mission padding because at least that’s usually optional lol
