Only a few more left! September 12th is fast approaching. What craziness is this! 'Final' polish is being applied, and 'final testing' also continues, but art is never done is it? You just stop, step away, and wonder.

Boy will I have some post mortems to write up about all this...

Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why?

  • Maybe you no longer have time, or, there are no modern ports or adaptation.

I'll start with mine.

(in no particular order)

It seems easier to play than , but as you progress, it is actually challenging. I love the challenge.

  1. / (DOS version specifically).

If I am not mistaken, before there was the franchise, there was “Empire”. It was a fun game. There is available on , but I miss the DOS version that I played a lot.

A very fun game. Once I start playing this, time flies fast. I miss this game.

Here's a video of it, it's hard to explain this game as there are many features/gameplay “modes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBJ0q52bXJM

Modern games today are usually limited to certain themes. If it's flight, it's flight. If it's tank, it's tank. If it's strategy, that's it. Carrier Command have it all.

  1. / (DOS)

Years before the era of came. RPG-ish space game that made me felt exploring space. This was new to me then and I enjoyed it.

  1. / (DOS)

I know, we can still play this today, however, what I miss with this game is the 2 player mode.

You just play with your friend and blast each other to friendly matches and laughter.

Being able to play 2P mode, face-to-face, is something that we have taken for granted, and now we're all just virtual avatars in online games (even online multiplayer games).


So, how about you?

mooseknee,

That wasn’t 20th Century was it? Unless there’s another one I’m not remembering. Gigantic was an absolute blast and I’m still a bit surprised it died.

cambriakilgannon,

I know! I wish more people would have found it and gave it a chance. It was seriously so much fun. I MISS YOU TRIPP

@Tearcell of course the other screens don't show. I'm bad at this federation thing...

I installed and… I can't even link my account. 😅

Well, it's a test release―that is public―so, I guess that's understandable.

Have you tried it? How's your experience?

So - I’m not sure if this I because you’re posting from a platform outside Lemmy or how any of this works - but the title for your post was just links to gaming communities, then the body of your post doesn’t even mention the name of your game.

Don’t think you’re going to get he kind of attention you want posting that kind of content.

@Scooter411 ugh I don't know why I bother with cross posting thing. Thanks for the heads up at least.

Hey, this post looks like it is just an ad for an ebay listing, which doesn’t really fit in the gaming community we are trying to build on Beehaw. I am going to remove it here, but if that is not the intention, please repost it with additional context. Thanks!

@PersistentDreamer @gaming @gaming @gaming its been a beautiful mess working with them. People have egos, and games are sort of art by committee... Feelings were sometimes hurt, painful cuts made. It's been a fun year and a half but it's been tough too!

I'll be making sure they see your compliment right now, cuz it really does mean alot to all of us. Thanks!

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

And nearly all PS5 games have to run on PS4. I fail to see your point.

AEW Fight Forever Digital Foundry Review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff7C881qwzc

I've been strongly considering picking this up. I was a big fan of Yuke's old WCW games on N64 and this seems to really lean into that lineage.

@gaming

KennyOmega,

It is such a fun game! It really does remind me of the oldschool wrestling games. They do a great job with making the wrestlers feel unique and exactly like they act on TV (Orange Cassidy, for example, can fight a whole match worth his hands in his pockets). There are a bunch of fun Easter eggs that I won’t spoil for you.

It is noticeable, though, that they didn’t have the resources to devote to the create a character feature. However, this is something that would naturally be updated as time goes by.

Tag team matches are a bit fiddly because you can’t tell your partner to come tag (as far as I know), and sometimes you’ll go to tag him but he’ll come into the ring instead. But the game doesn’t take itself too seriously, so these are minor issues.

All of the mini games are a blast except for one (in my opinion) and they just add a bit of a distraction that spices things up. If you don’t like them, you don’t need to play them, there is no forcing the player one way or the other.

latewizard,

I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks fun.

Halo: Master Chief Collection is an absolute broken mess

Last weekend, I picked up the Master Chief Collection from the Steam sale with a friend. We wanted to play through Halo 1 again, but it was completely unplayable.

You can't always join another player's session.
Occasionally, nothing happens when starting a mission.
On certain missions the game just completely freezes.
At certain points the game locks up leaving you unable to move.

It's just awful.

@gaming @gaming @gaming

realcaseyrollins,

I've had a generally pleasant experience with the game. All the issues I came across--friends not being able to join matches, lag while on multiplayer--was because of cross-platform issues, one of us was on the MCC version while another was in the original release version, or my own poor internet connection.

Streamer,

I had some issues in coop, but we managed to finish all the games.

@gaming noticed this feed slowed down once those two servers were defederated. But I could just be imagining things

The_Hunted_One,
@The_Hunted_One@beehaw.org avatar

A portion of the feed was made up from a user posting articles to this feed from one of the other instances. They generated a bit of discussion, but mostly it was lower effort links.

@megapenguinx@social.linux.pizza avatar

@The_Hunted_One that makes sense, I noticed a lot of the same happening on the kbin and Lemmy instances like fedia and feddit

How many people have been playing Weird West? Playing through it right now and I've got to say; this game has so much modding potential. The additional plus of it being a easily modified inmsersive sim adds so much replay value like Doom and gameplay WADs

I have been eyeing it aswell but I have about 30 games in backlog right now … I have a bad addiction to buying games

I’m the same way. Huge backlog because especially during sales I get click-happy
