No particular order are the games that I played the demo of and then actually wish-listed after uninstalling:

If the price is right on release, Nova Roma is a very fun city builder. I put 2.3 hours into the demo! This one really expects you to think ahead with where you place roads and buildings to keep things efficiently staffed and stocked. Citizens get tired if they have to walk too far, dropping morale. There are gods you have to keep happy like Pharaoh.
Another focus is water mechanics with some physics too. You can divert water flowing on the map and use gravity to your advantage. Citizen morale is mostly based on proper housing and food/goods variety. There is also some light military game-play, again, sort of like Pharaoh. You can scale difficulty to your liking regarding military and hostiles.
Why do I say if the price is right? I built 50% of the tech tree in 2.3 hours, which is 100% in the demo the rest is locked out. I thought that wasn’t enough myself, but if the game is $30 I don’t mind then if I spend less time with the game total.

Wait…which one am I taking about next? I’m not telling. I like both though BTW ;)

This is is pretty casual, but the ladder climb unga bunga unlock grind is pretty satisfying. You just hover over ghosts to kill them and level up so you can kill ghosts better. Arcade game kinda. Good look and sound to it with a simple song that drills into your skull like BALL x PIT.

Fucking bonkers. You are falling out of a plane that exploded in the sky. You’re going to die when you hit the ground, so maybe as well go out stylin’ right? Sudden Death sky dive stunting off plane debris and building combos. You get some air control here too.

It’s a TRPG, but Resident Evil 1 on PS1 style. I don’t have to say anything more.

Closest thing to Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 I’ve played since then so far. The game-play is mostly great, so is the sound design and set piece gimmicks and the turret sections. The demo doesn’t have the crazy zombie horde populations you see that happen later in the game trailer. The AI is okay, but has some misses like not being able to pick up special weapons. The game is ALWAYS ONLINE. Big flaw. (I’ll still buy on a steep discount with all the DLC and patches later tho NGL) Stop Killing Games. Ran well on my computer, was a bit of a shit to get working with Proton but ProtonDB had my back.

From the creators of irrelevant games that have nothing to do with Scrabble Balatro. It’s flawed but…WELL…I have a crippling addiction to Scrabble and this is fun despite the shitty graphics.

- Comment on Fully Modded Skyrim VR in Samsung Galaxy XR is Something Else 3 days ago:
HIGGS, VRIK, PLANCK, Haptic Skyrim VR…hundreds of other mods too but these get the game to BONEWORKS tier VR interaction with objects and you can shout spells into the microphone or sign them in the air like Arx Fatalis or use a boring spell wheel. Whatever floats your boat. It’s been at least 3 or 4 years since my VR playthrough but I can easily use VR all day long with just body maintenance breaks. I had a mod that basically had a Tears of the Kingdom underworld map attached to various sewer grates all over Skyrim. Cleared that and the game in VR.
It’s extremely hard for me to get motion sick. Nothing has except a Jetpack in a VRChat map because you could turn upside down with it and the envrionment I was in was like a 3D skybox WinAMP milkdrop visualiser with a tree house floating in it so I had no point of reference for what was the ground vs the sky. That’s what it takes for me to begin feeling queasy lmao.

If only because Bungie itself has a strangely loyal legacy fanbase. I don’t know how big it is at this point however.

As an aside…If I wanted to host an event like this specifically for fediverse, where should one post it?
Let’s say I pre-pack a portable archive (so Linux users can easily just add the exe to Faugus/Lutris whatever too) for Halo Custom Edition with a bunch of maps and throw a dedi server up for a week as an example.
So not the .world instance which lied about allowing piracy after announcing they would IIRC.

It’s always interesting to hear from younger people playing games much older than themselves and what their impressions of them are without the cultural context of the time or sometimes even an understanding of hardware limitations. In my case that’s usually just hearing from youtubers, but your opinion seems the prevalent one from what I can tell, which is nice to hear.

Cartridge games yeah, I was alive and buying 60-80 dollar N64 games. I agree with your peak era opinion.
I think 360/PS3 middle of their lifespan was the beginning of the decline, but that was gradual.

I don’t agree. Out of 1370 games maybe 80 are good.

That’s better than my lazy assumption that it had to do with an old trope started in the 1950’s that resurged during the early personal computer age in the form of lightning bolts, stars, smoke, animations shooting out of an instrument to show the intensity of the musician or just a banging song.
