I just hate Adobe.
Half-Life 1 deathmatch … come check us out!
Ia that the one that has a map where you can press a button and the shelter closes and everyone outside gets nuked?
Emotional recommendation of the year: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky.
It’s almost upsetting having a 2009 pixel game have more emotional charge than a AAA with mocap and voice acting.
I am thinking about starting the Xenosaga trilogy.
Thought we were talking about games, not very long movies…
Back in the day I bought an edition of xenosaga ii that came with a dvd of xenosaga I cutscenes…
Really? Is that bad? Never played them, and I’m curious.
It was the height of long cutscene JRPGs.
But I recommend them wholeheartedly. Don’t expect super involved gameplay mechanics, but a solid turn based JRPG with lengthy cutscenes.
Also be sure not to skip out on Xenogears.
I only have played the Xenoblade Chronicles series. I will check the Xenogears.
The other option is Fire Emblem: Awakening. Never played a Fire Emblem game.
Retroachievements is also omega dope
They somehow got me to play a ton of Wii and collectathons this year with events and… some retro games suck but they suck less with RA.
I have a Bazzite home theater PC, running Steam. In fact I never play Steam games on it, it’s mostly Kodi or games from the 80s upto Switch games (Mario Kart) via Emulation Station.

Retroarch is an amazing tool. It is also available on most phones now. Grab a BT controller or if you have a backbone that works too.
Ready to go with you games. Or do a nice setup on almost any computer at home.
Dolphin as well for Wii games. I was surprised when my 5 year old phone I paid maybe 150$ for could play most Wii games with zero lag.
Some of my most played games in the past few months are:
- Animal Crossing (2001, GameCube)
- Pokémon Yellow (1998, Game Boy)
- Pokémon Crystal (2000, Game Boy Color)
- various Castlevania games, from the 1986 NES original, to currently Rondo of Blood (1993, TurboGrafx-16)
- God of War 1 & 2 (2005 & 2007, PS2)
Having a blast with these old games.
Also finished Breath of the Wild recently, which is a fairly new game, but still nearly 10 years old.
God of War 1 & 2 were such good games, especially 2. Then 3 was somehow even better. I’ve been playing Ragnarök this past month and I’m of half a mind to record a 2 hour rant video about how they are risking to destroy the series.
Personally I really enjoyed both 2018 and Ragnarok, and got platinum trophies in both.
But I do agree that they do not feel like sequels to the original games. Kratos seems like an entirely different character, and the story kind of goes in the opposite direction.
It’s very common for companies nowadays to make random games/movies, and force them into an existing franchise. It’s cheaper than writing something new from scratch, and marketing works better.
It’s not even about the games being good or bad. Just… disconnected from the rest of the series.
Take the Assassin’s Creed series as an example. Black Flag was definitely a wonderful game, but it had almost nothing to do with the plot and universe of Assassin’s Creed. Same for all other games since, except they’re also mostly terrible games.
I feel like this is the main problem with new GoW games.
I’ve been promising myself one day to play Crystal. Have been thinking about it since it was released… One day.
I’m working my way through Links Awakening DX HD. The enhancements make a fantastic game even better.
Also finished Breath of the Wild recently, which is a fairly new game, but still nearly 10 years old.
A little mercy please. Thank you!
Retro classics like Halo 3 and Breath of the Wild still hold up surprisingly well, being 20 and 10 years old respectively. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself.)
Command&Conquer gang, anyone? :D
Still operating your repost bot swarm, eh?
reddit finance team hates me :)
Quickest block of my life, thank you
appreciate it.
I know you guys from “dont touch billionaire reddit content” team hates me.I will keep touching your content everywhere
I saw this in my unreads without context and was like “oh god who’ve I pissed off now” so it was a relief when I realised 😅
Retro games are as good as clay vaginal discharge. Try GTA vice city at least
My sibling in christ: Vice City is retro.
Tap for spoiler
Unless that’s the joke…
That’s a joke
It seems I’m not the only one who didn’t get it, looking at the votes. 😅
It’s Lemmy, my dear. Built by tankies and populated by remnants of woke1
Not sure if I appreciate that tone, “my dear”.
I’m just saying that a
/jtone-tag would’ve probably helped you actually achieve what you were trying to communicate.Got it. Added “do not use my dear” tag on you
How do I add a “dickhead” tag? Asking for a friend.
Perhaps you’re just uncultured.
Clay? Were they swimming in a river and got a clay cover clam?
I’ve been playing nothing but Pokemon ROM hacks for the last three weeks.
Plug and play never went anywhere? It’s used to describe usb peripherals that can be plugged into a computer and “just work” with zero setup or configuration. Like almost all modern mice and keyboards.
They are referring to plug and play consoles. The like ever the controller is the console itself and plugs into the tv. They used to be loads that would play atari games in the 00s for example
Now it’s “Plug, Wait 2 Hours, and Play.”
If you have the storage required for the update.
