How long have you waited to get it? Was it worth it?

I only played Doom 1 and 2 when D3 was about to come out, so it was about 10 years old. I played some mod with polygonal models/hires textures so it wasn't a vanilla experience, but in terms of game and level design I was quite blown away.

Also I played Metal Gear Solid 3 only about 5 years ago, so that was a ~15 years old game.

Uru. I spent hours wandering the halls of D'ni waiting for something to happen.

By the time I finally said "fuck it, I need to see what the fuss about this game is" for Dark Souls, 3 was about to be released. All I ever heard about the game up to that point was how hard it was; but that the difficulty wasn't bullshit. I figured it was just pattern recognition, and was right; but there's so much more nuance to that. The difficulty brought me in; but the game feel and the lore got me hooked and I now own every single one of the Souls/Borne/Ring/Sekiro games. And even a few knock-offs, like The Surge and Mortal Shell.

I bought the Chinese version of demons souls before it released here in the UK because of the reviews it was getting.

I then loved Bloodborne.

I still haven't played one bit of a dark souls game. It's on the list, it's just not time yet.

Mound and Blade 2...and nope.

Mega drive version of Theme Park.

I saw it getting closer in the release section of gaming magazines, closer.. then delayed.. closer.. delayed.. then I finally got it and the cartridge casing was deformed and wouldn't fit in the console.

My mum had to brute force it because I was losing my shit.

I finally completed fallout 1/2/tactics at the end of last year.

I'm looking forward to playing baldurs gate, planetscape and arcanum soon.

Duke Nukem Forever. And no it wasn’t.

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Same. What a dumpster fire of a release.

Persona 5 on PC. Fuck Sony and their exclusive policy.

[-] MyOtherCarIsEpona@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Is there evidence to suggest that Sony was responsible for Persona 5 being exclusive for so long, and not Atlus's usual confusing nonsense? Honest question.

I know that when Xbox decided to consider PC as part of the "Xbox ecosystem" it lit the fire under Sony's butt to start porting some of their banger titles onto Steam, which is much appreciated. Days Gone, God of War, Uncharted 4, Spiderman, and Returnal were all fantastic on day one. Horizon needed some time to fix the issues but the PC version now does it justice way better than the original 30fps version.

[-] Rayspekt@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Obviously I don't have first-hand information, but from I'd guess Sony is responsible for a lot of (japanese) games not coming to PC or Xbox, as Atlus isn't the only studio doing this that isn't owned by Sony.

Another thing that shows, that Sony has no interest in connecting gamers between systems is cross-play, which it blocks in various titles iirc.

I know it's the smart move to drive out competition when you're in charge of the biggest market share, but preventing gamers to play on any platform they choose is bad for them. I play exclusively on PC since the Gamecube (with the exception of the switch) so I'm very happy to see the PlayStation gulag crumbling with increasing Steam releases. We all profit from open platforms.

My dad commented that One Man And His Droid was supposed to be good, when we were in a shop (Woolworths?) looking at games. Mid-late 1980s. I finally played it a couple of years ago.

[-] maltasoron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

And, was it good?

[-] floppy@rabbitea.rs 2 points 1 year ago

I think it was, yes!

[-] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

As an oldschool GM for the Cyberpunk 2022 P&P Roleplaying game I was immediately hooked when CD Projekt Red announced the video game of Cyberpunk 2077. Despite the initial bugs, I enjoyed it. A lot. Probably the only game so far for which I got all achievements. Now patiently waiting for the Phantom Liberty DLC.

Hellooooo Night City!

[-] kirua@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Metroid prime 4.. it’s been far too long

[-] Flag@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

For shit that isnt out:

Star Citizen... one of these days man :| yes i have an unrelated copium subscription @_
Command & Conquer 4. C&C3 was/is great, so it makes sense to get C&C4 eventually.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
