Does dwarf fortress count as a modern game or a 20 year old game?

CharlesReed,
@CharlesReed@kbin.social avatar

Yes.

Rakonat,

Both and a game 20 years from the future when Toady finally finishes it.

Daxtron2,

Nah we’re going to transfer his consciousness into a robit so he can keep working forever

I guess you could technically play one of the older versions

Mongostein,

Similarly, I play a game called Clan Lord that came out in the 90s, but still gets updated regularly.

My top two games played this year are over 10 years old each.

My 3rd most played is Baldur’s Gate 3, weighing in at 250 hours, so I’ve got that going for me.

CharlesReed,
@CharlesReed@kbin.social avatar

Mine were 7 and 14, respectively, and then I had Diablo 4, so I understand.

I’m still not sure how much I like BG3, but I have sunk 90h into it at this point, so it can’t be that bad.

My game of the year for 2023 was probably the Q2 remaster, overall.

moistclump,

Ahh that sweet sweet dopamine. If you don’t have any handy, gamebought is fine.

idk I still think 100%ing donkey kong 64 is still one of the greatest accomplishments humanity has won

sebinspace,

Gran Turismo 4 is 20 years old…

And DOOM hit 25 this year.

Edit: I'm stupid at math, it's actually 30 lol

MrGerrit,

It turned 30 this December! So much rip & tear !

TotallynotJessica,

HUGE GUTS

tigeruppercut,

Half Life is 25; I’ve been slowly working my way through the anniversary edition

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

You think Doom came out in 1998?

CharlesReed,
@CharlesReed@kbin.social avatar

ah, I mistyped, it's 30 lol

don,

I’m not interested unless I see “First transmitted via telegraph by the US Government, 1883.” in the about section of the game store.

CharlesReed,
@CharlesReed@kbin.social avatar

I cannot play unless Ben Franklin himself has endorsed it.

There’s only a few games I played before release, RimWorld and Stone Shard.

Currently I’m playing Beneath a Steel Sky from 1994, and Fallout 4 is next.

And I will celebrate with you each time you recover the Amulet of Yendor

ZapBeebz_,

Me and my RuneScape account are plenty offended, thank you

Dagnet,

No no, he said 10 years, not 20

dudinax,

Imagine how much cooler you’d be if the game were newer.

TotallynotJessica,

Nah. Older games are often less fancy, so gameplay and execution need to carry. Time culls the mediocre, leaving only the memorable behind.

Growing horns by farting on citizens in Fable

Don’t forget to find one of those citizens that are temporarily immortal to punch and kick their shit for maximum physical experience. I loved doing that on that first city, after finishing the quest where the dude convinces you to change your hair and beard “for his daughter”.

M137,

*while ignoring any real-life counterpart of any of those. (except goals, kinda, since your goal at the moment is doing those things in that game).

CharlesReed,
@CharlesReed@kbin.social avatar

My goal is to ignore irl goals for in-game ones 😤

ivanafterall,
@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

The real-life mission system is totally broken. I've accomplished tons of goals and the rewards usually don't even trigger, at all.

Viking_Hippie,

Plus the classes are ridiculously unbalanced! “Billionaire” and “loud religious idiot” need to be nerfed yesterday! Don’t even get me started on how game breaking playing a hybrid of those is!

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Billionaire ain’t a class, it’s just an unpatched exploit. It’s really easy to pull if you already have at least some millions lying around.
