It’s amazing that it’s still the best rally sim to this day. This game is old enough to drink in the States.

Hm. Maybe I’ll do it, then. Don’t know if I got the patience to admin a community but I am an emulation enthusiast.

Welcome! Emulation is probably my favorite method of gaming nowadays, giving me access to most of the classics of gaming from over 20 years of history all at once. If you have a decent computer you get get everything up to the PS3 generation easily, and a less powerful one or a phone can go up to the PS2 or PS1 gens, still giving you plenty of gaming options. I have found so many games and genres I would normally not get into, by trying them out via emulation. Arcade games, especially. I love arcade shmups of the 90’s and early 2000s.

there is an emulation community on lemmy.ml and another at lemmy.world but I would understand if you don’t want to interact with those. I am kinda surprised dbzer0 doesn’t have one.

Why am I not surprised.

Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry and Dragon Age: full of insipid, unnecessary microtransactions ranging from regular consumable items, to cosmetics that were usually just included with the game normally. God I love Capcom’s games but I hate them as a company.

Although I grew up with Playstation controllers in my hands, ever since I tried an XBox 360 controller I never went back. I’ve been using XBone controllers on my PC for years now, and I just love the ergonomics of them in my hand, the clicky D-pad, the rounded buttons. I’ve always hated the PS dpad, it hurts my thumb. Now, I probably won’t keep buying “original” XBox controllers, but anything with that shape and feels that comfortable in my hand, will be my choice.

I really want to get one of those.

It’s all of those factors, combined. It’s like a granny turtle trying to catch a trend that went past it 5 years ago. And the entire game being horribly, terribly visually unappealing with the worst character designs ever, does not help at all.

Yes, yes it is. The term coined by the Ubishit CEO trying to cover his own ass by claiming that Skull and Bones took so much time and money to make, and was being sold for higher than $60 (while still being a pile of shit) by saying it was a “AAAA game” and the term stuck. I mean, it’s own very first use was to describe a terrible AAA game. It’s only natural.

As much of this particular incident being kind of a nothingburger, Magnussen did show quite poor driving standards regarding collisions lately, and at SOME POINT the rule had to be enforced, right? First time since it was created that someone actually got a race ban, despite several drivers deserving one in the past. Hell, even Gasly himself narrowly escaped one because nobody wanted to be the one to give him his final 2 points.

Or Quake! Even though I suck at arena shooters, any of them I’d want to hop in for.

I would ABSOLUTELY attend a local tournament for AC6. The netcode is absolute ASS but the gameplay is so crisp, if we could play it without lag or ghost hits it would be great.

Well this one was incredibly easy to identify, even with mods.

We all need to be our own archivists in this day and age. The internet isn’t forever, it’s a constantly burning Library of Alexandria. I’m glad you found your lost media again.

Armored Core 6 is pretty easy to 100% and it’s really enjoyable the whole way there. Just don’t bother with PvP.

And my favorite 100% grinding game that I keep playing just because I enjoy it so much, is the Earth Defense Force series. The game encourages you to play each mission with each of the 4 classes in each of the 5 difficulty levels. Even though clearing Hard also gives you Easy and Normal completion too, you’re still looking at over 200 hours of gameplay, easily. The games have over 100 missions, tons of weapons to gradually improve, and at higher levels become true combat puzzles to solve with said weapons. Cheese is a way of life, in an enjoyable way.

Oohh, I heard about that. I’ve just kept playing the community maintained UT’99 and a little bit of 2k4.

Swear to Jah, all we need is a proper modern, moddable Unreal Tournament.

It should run, the Unity port before this worked, right? I’ll try installing the GoG version on Linux tomorrow, but I already played it on my Switch too and it ran great. Just like the Quake rereleases

I aspire to have enough storage to do that someday.
