What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?

I’ve been recently been thinking about Arkane Studio’s Prey which is a immersive sim, with a pretty good rogue like dlc, that probably has one of the strongest hooks of any game I’ve played. If you liked Halflife, System Shock, or Deus Ex it’s definitely worth a play....

Lord_Logjam,

Eternal Darkness is one of my favourite GameCube games. I feel like it might be long enough ago that they could do a remake with modern sanity effects.

And Halo Reach is my favourite Halo game, loved it.

Lord_Logjam,

Definitely didn’t get the appreciation it deserved on launch. I seem to remember it was launched right after that year’s Battlefield and right before that year’s CoD. Terrible decision. It definitely stood the test of time though and is very highly regarded now.

Lord_Logjam,

Haven’t they tried to get the spiritual successor off the ground on a bunch of different occasions? Are they still trying?

Lord_Logjam,

18,000,000,000,000/31,600,000 = 569,620

Don’t want to be that guy, but it definitely changes the picture somewhat.

Lord_Logjam,

This has only popped up on my radar the last few weeks, but the more I look at it the more excited I am to play it.

Lord_Logjam,

I’m confused. Why would this be the thing that stops you playing games by these companies? Especially considering Activision Blizzard might stop being so shitty when the people at the top leave after the acquisition. I’m not saying you shouldn’t avoid games based on ethics, I just think this deal is a weird one to be the deal-breaker for you.

Lord_Logjam,

I was playing Hollow Knight on Gamepass streaming the other day. It’s a game that would be just awful to play with any real latency, and it was absolutely fine. There was no perceivable latency.

Lord_Logjam,

Fair enough. I do agree with you on the indie front. Hades and Hollow Knight are two of my favourite games of all time. Remnant 2 has knocked it out of the park. And there are so many interesting smaller games coming from indie studios these days.

Lord_Logjam,

That’s great to see. But also when is this coming to Xbox? 😭

Lord_Logjam,

They are good, but get the fuck out of my face!

Lord_Logjam,

I was unaware of this. But it uses the same logic as the British date format so I am okay with it.

When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?

It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...

Lord_Logjam,

It was a thing in the UK for a bit as well, but they seem to have backed down in the last few years.

Lord_Logjam,

I have had a 6 since launch and never had a single issue with it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Lord_Logjam,

Give this away as a preorder for the 8 Pro please.

Hollow Knight - 6 Years Later. [Ceave Perspective] [1h31m08s] (www.youtube.com)

Hollow Knight is an incredibly competent game on pretty much all fronts. In my opinion, Hollow Knight is a masterpiece and we will discuss all the things that make it so great in detail in this Hollow Knight retrospective. However - the one thing that I find most fascinating about Hollow Knight is an aspect of the game that is...

Lord_Logjam,

Going to have to watch some of this. I played this to death on the Switch, never quite completed it. Despite not finishing it this is definitely one of my favourite games of all time.

Lord_Logjam,

It is probably basing the colour scheme on your background? You can turn this off in the theme settings.

Lord_Logjam,

I came here to say that. I loved that game, the sanity effects were brilliant and have never really been done properly since that I know of.

Lord_Logjam,

Can’t remember how many it took me but you definitely haven’t taken a ridiculous number of attempts.

Man I love this game. Need to start a new play through.

Lord_Logjam,

And then you turn on the extreme measures and you feel like a beginner again 😂

Lord_Logjam,

I use it. I prefer the experience to Windows and I don’t have the time to properly learn Linux. I know that’s lazy and I know I am sacrificing a certain degree of privacy by being lazy, but I already use a Pixel phone so I don’t think I’ve giving away anything new. One day I will probably sit down and set up Linux on my Chromebook and have more of a tinker, I’ve done it before and I’m relatively tech savvy.

Lord_Logjam,

This is on the UK Play store.

I like to keep it simple.

Lord_Logjam,

They are the Material You icons for those apps. If something doesn’t have a Material You icon it can’t live on my homescreen 😂

Lord_Logjam,

I had the early access on Stadia 😭 will have to wait for the delayed Xbox launch now.

Lord_Logjam,

Indeed. They even refunded my Ubisoft+ sub costs which surprised the hell out of me. I got two controllers free from various deals as well, they are decent Bluetooth controllers now. I think I paid for a handful of months of pro that I didn’t get back, but everything else was refunded.

Lord_Logjam,

Plenty of people forget that Nintendo needs to hit a price point on this device. So there are some things we might not think are ideal but need to be the way they are to make financial sense. Things like storage size, screen tech, are two of the areas where a compromise might have been needed. Also let’s not pretend that there aren’t good LCD screens that could be used, OLED isn’t the be all and end all.

Lord_Logjam,

Although this is frustrating for XSX owners like myself, it is absolutely the right thing to do. I’ve played a little bit of early access on Stadia and I hope all the PC and PS5 players are having a blast.

Lord_Logjam,

I have an X not an S, but my wife and I will absolutely be using couch co-op when this comes out.

Lord_Logjam,

Ah fair enough I didn’t realise that. Still it looks like it’ll be 2024 before it comes to Xbox last I saw.

Lord_Logjam,

I’m so used to gesture control now that I struggle to go back when I need to sort out my mum’s phone for her.

Lord_Logjam,

For me it needs to be something that my two daughters can watch me play. If I want something quick I’ll normally go for some Fortnite. I’m trying to decide if Remnant 2 is alright my kids to watch me play, if I decide it is that’ll be my other one.

Lord_Logjam,

They (6 and 8) watched me play about half an hour of Remnant 2 the other day and they said it wasn’t scary. My first area is the creepy Victorian city as well.

Lord_Logjam,

This is how I feel as well. They are cool and if someone gave me one I’d use it, but I’m not going to pay double to get one myself.

Lord_Logjam,

I appreciate a small phone as well. The S10e was a brilliant device. I’ve gone back to a bigger phone now as there isn’t really much of a choice.

Lord_Logjam,

I’ll be taking a look at this in Gamepass. Looks really nice.

What are you Reading? (August 2023) (lemmy.world)

I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading....

Lord_Logjam,

Just about to start Memories of Ice, book 3 of the Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Lord_Logjam,

It’s my second read through so I know how good it is 😁 I did find that I’d forgotten a lot of interesting stuff in the first two books though. Can’t wait to see what treasures I’d forgotten in this one.

Lord_Logjam,

Proper dark chocolate doesn’t have to be 100% cocoa solids. I agree that is too bitter, and I like a very dark chocolate.

Lord_Logjam,

A good dark chocolate is one of my favourite things in the world. I’ve become a bit of a chocolate and coffee snob in my middle age.

Lord_Logjam,

I picked this up a couple of days ago. I haven’t played the first game and I’m not a massive Dark Souls fan. Despite all that, so far I really really like this game. The gunplay is well done and feels impactful. The world design is interesting and diverse. The mod system seems fun. I’m only 5 hours in but I give it 👍👍

The Weekly Discussion Topic - Roguelikes - 28-07-2023 (lemmy.world)

Hello all, this is the first post in a series of posts I’ll be making weekly to drum up some diverse discussion relating to all different aspects of gaming. I figured I would start with what I know, and so the first topic is thus: roguelike games. (If you think any of the below description is wrong or misleading, let me know -...

Lord_Logjam,

Hades is potentially my favourite game of all time. For me to absolutely nails this style of game by perfectly weaving in a compelling narrative to the rogue mechanic. It’s also gorgeous with the most ridiculously tight gameplay.

Honourable mention to Enter the Gungeon, haven’t seen that mentioned yet. Very fun game.

Lord_Logjam,

It’s the best £25 quid I’ve ever spent! Well I’ve spent more than that as I have a travel one for work as well.

Lord_Logjam,

I used £35 of Microsoft Rewards points and picked up Remnant 2 on whim. Didn’t play the first one but I’m really enjoying this so far.

Lord_Logjam,

I really want to like Mastodon. I just find it a lot of work, and Twitter has always been my low-zero effort social media platform.

Lord_Logjam,

Thanks for the permission. I’m glad I’ve got you to help me in my hour of need.

Lord_Logjam,

Lord_Logjam,

Great news. I really wish I could get on with it.

Lord_Logjam,

Of the ones I have tried Sync and Thunder are my preferred options.
