i ramble about video games. i like sharing & weird stuff. @ me with weird games.
I think I may have it wishlisted, so I’m definitely trying to keep an eye on it. Waiting till it’s fully released so I don’t feel compelled to play it more like pseudo-QA and enjoy it less though
Thanks for the suggestion!
It sounds kinda familiar, but I don’t know if I have or not. I’ll have to look into it!
I’m also bookmarking Worlds Apart to check out later, so thanks for both suggestions!
These are solid suggestions for sure! I still need to get around to the rest of the Dishonored series past the first and finish Prey.
Immersive sims I think are pretty close to what I might be wanting, but they’re unfortunately not that common, and some have RPG elements I don’t find enjoyable. The Arkane games you mention pretty much avoid them last I checked though, and I dig’em for it
I have, a little, and have enjoyed those I’ve played, but I’m also fond of more visual art in games, so on the text heavy front I lean towards point and click adventures and visual novels more.
However like yourself, I tend to think I should play more of them, see what they experiment with and push boundaries on.
Btw you might check out The Trackless if you like interactive fiction. It mixes some light text parsing with a 3D adventure game, making for a unique experience.
Right, as I mention though, from what I recall they didn’t always have cheats, or necessarily the sort I might want like removing random battles for the games with them.
I use Steam, but I also go for games outside of Steam, which is what my message was indicating. I’m into first/third-person puzzle games, for sure.
Not much of a fan of Bethesda’s style of RPGs (given you asked in another comment). They’re too buggy/unstable in my experience, but also plainly RPGs.
@Donjuanme Yeah, you’re not wrong. The trick is, “games these days”, which I enjoy a fair amount of, but I’m also interested in games from across time, so older titles as well.
Those are a little iffier to play given some lack the settings or options, and sometimes also any cheats. Do you happen to know of any sites/resources advising how to use emulators to sorta do that for older titles?
Alternatively may need to review which old titles I have that have cheats for that kinda thing…
Thanks! I have them, but the scale of the pieces isn’t similar, albeit the perspective is kinda close.
Seriously, that game was a charming semi-parody of some RPG elements and aspects of classic Legend of Zelda.
One of my favorite parts was the character creator, such a smart integration of a voxel editor. It put me in the mind of RPG Maker’s pixel art sprite editor with how it had you make a small voxel spritesheet for the character.
Follow-up: what are some of the lesser known or niche games trapped on a hardware platform you’d like to see a good port of?
Maybe it’s just me, but I think it was a mistake to describe it as GaaS. I understand how they’re trying to use the term, but the fact they felt the need to clarify how they meant it should have been a clear enough sign the term is rather tainted.
Worse, it may make some people skeptical & suspect that they intend to change their tune down the line. Their track record notwithstanding, that’s how some may be after having been burnt before with other experiences.
As others have mentioned, there’s online-go.com for similar to lichess.org.
On Android there’s Gobandroid, but it requires this for play against AI: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.ligi.gobandroidhd.ai.gnugo/
On desktop there’s Sabaki:

Haven’t tried Sabaki yet, as I was using GoGUI running off GNU Go for a long time, but it’s no longer in development.
@JulesTheModest Er…How do you mean? The Galaxy app has its issues, but I’ve not run into this one.
Biggest issue I ran into was years back trying to point it to my existing directory of GOG games from before Galaxy to get it to recognize them without reinstalling them, but eventually I just decided to reinstall whenever I felt like playing them again (and uninstall from old location).
