kratoz29,

And yeah, lots of variability and replay value with those mechanics I think

It feels like a Tears of The Kingdom pocket edition (which is a silly thought as both are portable games lol).

kratoz29,

Some would say not having Fortnite on Linux is a feature…

kratoz29,

I have only played the 2016 game, would you say previous titles have aged well?

kratoz29,

If you haven’t played Eternal yet, though, you definitely should if you enjoyed 2016.

I haven’t :/

I am planning to get into it though.

kratoz29,

Call of Duty Mobile does that, and I hate it.

kratoz29,

And a disappointing slim model too… (I was waiting for the slim one).

kratoz29,

I think it looks ugly, you need to buy the dock thingy separately?

And it is more expensive than the og model lol (without the dock).

kratoz29,

Seems fair, patient gamer here (I haven’t played it yet lol).

kratoz29,

As an owner of the Switch (with a huge backlog) and a dreaming owner of the Steam Deck, should I be happy or worried about the backlog?

kratoz29,

🥲

kratoz29,

I do have a Steam account and some games bought there (from years ago, I basically stopped because I didn’t have a proper PC at that time… And that hasn’t changed actually), and so many others from giveaways

The “strongest” PC I have is a MacBook Pro 2014 with Windows 10/boot camp lol (it is almost the highest tier of that model) so yeah, that is basically not having anything (I remember it struggled to run Tomb Raider reboot, one of the games that I bought).

If you have a backlog and no steam account, why would you give yourself more of a backlog? (Although the emulation ability of the deck is fantastic, but again, why did a bigger back log hole?)

Basically this, I am lacking a proper device that can emulate GCN/Wii/PS2 games in a hybrid way such as the Switch.

I have a Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 that can do some of that and a phone with Snap Dragon 865 which definitely can run those games, but sadly it doesn’t have HDMI video out capabilities.

Also yesterday I was messing around with my hacked Switch and saw that Dreamcast and N64 emulation on RetroArch are better than before (I didn’t try it too much, but at least Conker Bad Fur Day and Crazy Taxi ran well, both in handheld and docked mode) and that is good and I want that for the consoles I cannot run properly yet.

Also I am a bit disappointed that some PSP games have issues with the latest version available of PPSSPP for the Switch… Android version should be better…

kratoz29,

The only aspect I think the Deck lacks is the seamless TV input, I suppose there is a dock for it, but something is telling me the games (depending on which ones) won’t look as nice as they do in the handheld (opposite as how it is handled in Nintendo)

kratoz29,

Even with the title I still don’t know who they are 😆

kratoz29,

Patient gamer reporting here.

kratoz29,

You can downvote me too, I don’t really care about imaginary numbers. No need to apologize.

You care enough to be bothered with Lemmy.

I am just disappointed that Lemmy was supposed to be a better place than Reddit, but my experience on Lemmy has actually become worse than my experience on Reddit.

I mean, at least this can be fixed, you can’t really fix Reddit.

And I think we still have a better experience on Lemmy than Reddit, for starters we don’t have ads here wink.

TBH I agree with you, 2 secs doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, especially when many other awesome games implement it, but that could also be because I have been desensitized from the daily ads of my life (it used to be worse, I have an ad blocker for anything, but I still use open TV as a background noise and there are some other advertisements you can’t just evade).

I agree with the statement up here that when we allow these 2 secs it lets the path open for more annoying stuff in the future, but also it is ultimately a decision from Nintendo to continue the deal with them if it is annoying enough for most users.

kratoz29,

Lemmy was not always like this. But since about 7 or 8 months ago, it became this way. And there is no going back.

Well, are we gonna ignore where the biggest influx of ppl comes from?

I’d say don’t take it too personal if other ppl think differently than you, I think this is the healthiest approach we all can take (especially when we are discussing hobbies).

This stopped being a matter of Lemmy vs Reddit, you can’t really fix Internet people, and that is to be expected.

kratoz29,

while still being able to use your own DNS/wireguard VPN/proxy…

Wait, I thought the “downside” of this app was that it used your VPN connection, compared to NextDNS or the built in DNS feature of Android.

I also use AdAway rooted version and not really looking into changing it, but if you could clarify about this I could happily see it as an alternative :)

kratoz29,

I think I’m doing my part as a patient gamer.

kratoz29,

If you are gonna play them right away, I don’t see why you should not!

kratoz29, (edited )

patient gaming is the best way

I think being a patient gamer makes more sense nowadays (or at least since PS3/PS4 days) than it did before.

Many games are unfinished, unoptimized or need patches, and all this annoying experience is for the users which I like to call “unpaid beta testers” then when all the needed fixes arrive we can fully enjoy the best experience, at the best price.

kratoz29,

Please, somebody tell me, is this good or bad news?

kratoz29,

You got me thinking here, what is it when the hospital realizes about this fuck up? They just kidnap him, sedate him and remove the improvements? 🤔

kratoz29,

And the Miyoo Mini!

kratoz29,

I think the handheld era is my favorite, it basically ended with the 3DS, but it is the DS which I really can’t put down, I am playing for the first time Chrono Trigger on it, and it is my Jump Ultimate Stars machine (Wimmfi), also have some other bangers as well, but I’ll bore you if I citate them all.

But hey, don’t get me wrong, the current handheld era is good too, we have the Switch, The Steam Deck and a plethora of good quality Chinese handhelds.

kratoz29,

Found them!

kratoz29,

If this is some kind of question like “you can only play this in your lifetime” I’d pick up a DSi XL or closely a 3DS, I enjoy the DS library more, so it would be a downgrade doing it there, unless things have changed since the last time I checked.

The reasons are simple, it has tons of great titles and many of them have a high replayability value.

kratoz29,

I don’t know man, I had my fair share of fun with a pair of Nyan Cat games, the original Plants Vs Zombies, Nimble Quest (I just got this again on Android and cracked the heck out of it with Lucky patcher, and still suck lol), Tiny Wings, Angry Birds and I could be missing some others.

kratoz29,

That you didn’t like them doesn’t mean they sucked, look along this thread and you’ll find ppl sharing titles worthwhile back then (me included), ofc, this is not GOTY material, but a game must not be a masterpiece in order to be enjoyable, which ultimately is what all games are for, to be an enjoyable hobby.

kratoz29,

At least in Android you can install old games yet, I just installed Nimble Quest and had a blast as of recently.

kratoz29,

Oh yeah, I fired up my old iPhone 6s to play the Infinity Blade II, no regrets!

kratoz29,

Massive spoilers, you should just have provided the video to bring full context my friend!

kratoz29,

Huh, this is the first time I heard about this, thanks for sharing!

Do not use the version from the Play Store though, get it directly from Github.

Why? I use Vaultwarden with Bitwarden from the Playstore is there anything wrong with it?

kratoz29,

Ah, I see, thanks for the heads up.

kratoz29,

It requires a soft mod and maybe 1-2 hours of set up to get online.

My Xbox 360 is gathering dust because, unlike all my other consoles, I am not able to mod it myself :/ (softmod).

I did not know the original Xbox had a softmod though.

kratoz29,

Never played it, but this news is always sad, hopefully the community is in the works of archiving this, of already did.

kratoz29,

The longest I stuck with the franchise was through Metroid Prime Hunters for the DS, and it wasn’t the graphics or the game itself that captivated me (although both are awesome, ngl) but the online capabilities and gameplay, I have not even finished the game, only played several minutes of the campaign (which maybe I am not missing out of much here, as I have read it is one of the weakest), and yet I have had more than 500 hrs of playtime thanks to the multiplayer, which I still used even after the closure of the servers thanks to Wiimmfi.

For me the gameplay with the stylus as the main aim control is the best the DS can offer to have a proper and fast paced aim, if you could search for some of the crazy stuff that the pro players managed with this game on YT and how hardcore it can get for this hardware in those days, you’d be surprised, here is a video that comes at the top of my mind, and it is a recent one too, also the sniper battles (imperialist) were pretty awesome.

With that said, I know the franchise and what it means for everyone, I appreciate it that much that I refuse to even play more metroidvanias without finishing Super Metroid (and Castlevania Symphony of The Night while we are at it).

kratoz29,

FFS this!

Am I losing my head or what!? Because I can’t get how everybody else is missing the obvious, the adaptations need to be good, we are not tired of super hero movies, we are tired about garbage adaptations, and I literally can’t believe any thinking person would really believe:

Oh, people are really tired of Marvel and DC, but game adaptations are thriving it must be their fault (because we are tired, obviously), so let’s focus on adapting videogames now!

kratoz29,

That game is one of the biggest reasons that I want a Wii U, the biggest would be the hack possibilities, Pretendo, and GCN/Wii emulation.

kratoz29,

Does the Wii U do a worse job with those through emulation?

I do have a Wii, but even with a component cable the looks are not enough for me in a modern TV, that is why I thought having the Wii U HDMI port would make things look better.

How to revitalize this sub?

I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed...

kratoz29,

I can’t post about game impressions that often because I am very slow at my gaming… With that said I just finished The Last Window for Nintendo DS again (remember next to nothing about the plot) and god I had a blast with it!

I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a visual novel, but it would be wiser to play Hotel Dusk first if you haven’t yet, as The Last Window is a sequel.

kratoz29, (edited )

Ok, I gotta ask, I know almost nothing about the lore of Fallout, is this show for me? Does it have enough content for newcomers that makes it worth it?

I did enjoy the Twisted Metal TV show, if that brings any context about what stuff I like, although at least I did play some of their old games and enjoyed them, but I remember next to nothing about the game’s “plot”, if there was any to begin with.

EDIT: Thank you so much for your replies guys, it seems definitely like a fun show and I’m craving for one lol (I just finished Titans S03… and… it was not good), I’m gonna give it a try!

kratoz29,

Wait, this sounds better than the Twisted Metal TV show plot LMAO.

kratoz29,

I guess the recommendation of turning off the Bluetooth to save battery, or the sarcastic comment that usually says “bro, just turn off the phone if you care too much about the battery” are gonna be obsolete now aren’t they?

kratoz29,

Is this game available on PC? I thought you couldn’t kill an online game on PC because the servers work in a different way.

kratoz29,

I have almost no interest in any Ubisoft games at this point… I just have Child of Light and The New Prince of Persia games on my radar… Maybe I should just 🦜

kratoz29,

Well, this is indeed good news.

kratoz29,

Yep, the addon is working as expected.

kratoz29,

I’m starting to see a trend here…

That train tracks will kill an entire ecosystem right there!
