So as it turns out the original Flat out is a verz different game from it’s sequel, and is a pretty unique and complete game of its own.
Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?

Haven’t played it yet, but just got the copy of Ratchet & Clank Future Tools Of Destruction in the mail today. Looking to hopefully start at least a little bit over the weekend.

I just reinstalled NFSU2 because of the new big expansion mod underground2.net Between this, my brother wanting to play Halo, and the new Linkin Park album coming out this week, I feel like I’m in 2004 again.
johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I dunno if I just discovered them but I was playing Sexy Parodius and Harmful Park. I’m really bad at both.

I just started Lair of the Clockwork God and I think it’s definitely worth a look. You play as two characters, one who is “point and click” (can’t jump, only move and interact) and the other is a platformer (can jump, can’t interact). It’s pretty interesting, and the puzzles have been fairly easy but still cllever.

Planescape: Torment
I haven’t played a lot infinity engine games and I’ve struggled with understanding what the game expects of me in terms of gameplay. Hopefully I’ll internalize that eventually but I’ve been enjoying the writing and vibes so far even if the gameplay feel a bit frustrating and a bit like a chore at the moment.
InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Updated my journal.
Seeders@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I could never figure out how to get out of the first area in that game lol. I wondered around for so long doing laps and just gave up.
zygo_histo_morpheus@programming.dev 1 year ago
Yeah the way I got out was a bit cryptic, although I think there are multiple ways. I’m shameless enough to use a walkthrough when I’ve been stuck for a while, otherwise I’d be having an even harder time.

Recently I’ve been playing Airline Tycoon Deluxe, Sims 3, Battle Brothers, Kerbal Space Program and Prey.
I think the newest is Prey, from 2018.
Airline Tycoon Deluxe is from 1998 and still fun (at the beginning, eventually you just make tons of money, use it to do more of the same to make even more money and it stops being fun).
By the way, they all run on Linux, though I had to literally pirate the Sims 3 to get it to work even though I own the game.

finally going back and playing dark souls remastered as someone who has only played demon’s souls. so far it feels very familiar yet different. definitely has that from software jankyness.
scutiger@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A lot of the jankiness is gone in the later games. DS1 feels really clunky after having played DS2 and DS3.
VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Back 4 Blood.
You know what, it’s not Left 4 Dead 3, but I love it. It feels like L4D meets Call of Duty. The card system really makes the game for me; building better decks to play higher difficulties with more chaotic corruption cards.
The corruption cards especially make levels so much more replayable than they already would be. Getting fog over a level or a different type of ridden mutation appearing spices things up nicely.
It’s also extremely beautiful at points. I love the graphical style. It’s colorful and a tad cartoonish at points, with some genuinely disgusting visuals and insane ruins thrown in for good measure.
I wouldn’t buy it for full price, but the $9.99 I paid for the full game + DLC was more than worth it, in my opinion.
Ketram@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Not that old, but I’ve been playing some Far Cry 5 recently since it went on decent sale for 14 bucks on steam and I was bored.
I remember being amazed at how good far cry 3 had been all those years ago, and I know that pretty much every far cry since has been a similar game with a different skin and some updated mechanics.
The whole “home grown USA cult” does hit a bit more interesting these days, but I honestly keep finding myself shaking my head because it feels like reality is somehow more ridiculous than this far cry game in that essence.
Game is fine, I am enjoying doing the same shooting over and over as a little mental break . I feel like this game is a real missed opportunity not having a set, voiced protagonist. Choosing your blank, voiceless murder machine makes every cutscene awkward because everyone is just talking at you instead of having actual dialogue or growth.

Tomb Raider (2013). Played it once for a few hours with a friend on PS4, but we never had following sessions. So now I bought it in a bundle with TR 1-3 and now play the first reboot game after finishing the remaster of the 1997 title (also for the first time) last week.
HollowNaught@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve been playing through factorio
For the second time
…I don’t have a problem
Bloodyhog@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It can be considered a new game now. You can grow your factory on other planets! More! More!
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Just plowed my first spaceship into the middle of an asteroid field. Thank the devs for a making a “First trip to other planet” autosave!

Watch Dogs
Fun, but sometimes the difficulty seems to be all over the place, particularly with running from pursuit. Sometimes you can lose them in a minute or two, other times the game keeps spawning in new cars in front of you with no way to dodge them without the ones behind you catching up.
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Echoes of the past!
incredibly fun.
I’ve only been playing a few hours, but I am having a blast.

War Thunder Ground Arcade Battles is fun on team voice chat.

Started Trauma Center 2 and 7th Dragon 2020, both sequels to games I played last year. The first one I only played for 10-20 minutes so far though, the latter would probably be unbearable without turbo mode via emulation. Actually, 7th Dragon DS already was, but the story and setting is mildly neat, and I might be hungry for games with more party building. If you fast forward to the dragon/boss fights it’s alright.
BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Zen Pinball 2 on PS Vita. Got every single table, played few dozen and still got a ton left.
0ops@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Intoxicated driver, free on steam Just good stupid fun
CommanderZander@lemmy.world 1 year ago
BioShock Infinite Burial at Sea 1. Not quite hooked yet because ammo is almost too scarce to call it a shooter. But I want to like it.
Also playing Dead Cells, which is great but the higher difficulties are very very hard.
Gadwin100@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Got my hands on a PS5 pro. Started playing Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (2015). Never played the original games, always wanted to. It’s also funny to think that I’m playing a PS4 title that is a remake of PS3 games on a PS5.

My last week has been filled with Marvels Midnight Suns. XCom meets deck builder meets dating simulator-lite. I’m having a blast, considering none of those genres are my forte
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I loved Marvels Midnight Suns! Exploring the grounds, finding kitty, then slicing people up with Hunter and Wolverine!

Tried Tetris effect today, last time I played Tetris was on the nds so this is quite the upgrade!

I’ve reinstalled Sims 3, because I wanted to play the Sims but just can’t deal with the broken cash machine that is the Sims 4. It took a decent amount of effort to get it to run, and it doesn’t run very well, but it mostly works. And… it’s so good. I forgot just how good it was.
I’m amazed at how much there is to do, and just how well my sims can take care of themselves - when playing 4 I always just made 1 or 2 sims, so that I could control their every move bc otherwise they’d be stuck doing something useless on a loop. Here I can have a family of 4 and actively play just one of them, and the rest will cook, clean, do homework, and generally look after themselves while I’m not there. It’s amazing how they had this figured out so many years ago, and regressed so horribly.
Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haven and Hearth. It’s apparently a fairly old MMO, and I think I picked it up after it’s mostly dead, but it’s still a bit fun. The low population left in the game honestly might be saving me from grief while still learning the game.
It got the visuals, difficulty, and finality of Zomboid, but more of a rust style game play where you’re just a naked person with rocks and sticks building huts. I still don’t know fully what I’m doing, the goal is still just don’t die.

I’ve finally gotten around to Mindustry after seeing a post about it in a FOSS community here. Hell of a game!
RealFunAtParties@lemmy.world 1 year ago
One of the bases near “Nuclear Production Complex” has shut my attack down… twice. Last time I was arond wave 70 when it ended. I could just barely scrach their core bases with each attack. Several hours…
I had to give it a break after that. I was routing conveyors in my dreams but with a perpetual sense of doom.
Good game though. I really like how it addresses any gripes I have when playing factorio. The whole time I felt it was a little easy, but not anymore!
Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m in the same boat. I’ve made some headway but they weren’t kidding, it’s hard! I’m still struggling on new maps managing my time between building defenses and ramping up industry. I definitely prefer the part after finishing waves where I can relax and perfect my build.
jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
Same here. I am thinking about finding a mod that either lowers the difficulty a touch or allows you to focus on the industry more. The waves start to get frantic fast.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Got it for free on Epic a while ago, tried it, and didn’t finish the first mission (got stuck at the final part).
I picked it up again after upgrading my steam deck’s storage, and this time I did finish the tutorial! It is fun to play so I hope it sticks for a bit :)
