Berin@discuss.tchncs.deto Games@lemmy.world•Square Enix considered ending Final Fantasy 11 in 2024, but player interest was high enough to keep it alive even after 20+ yearsEnglish6·1 month agoI’ve been curious about the story since they released the current alliance raid series in FFXIV which is a FFXI crossover. Would love to try it if there was some kind of combined subscription.
You could try of The Devil! It’s an episodic indie cyberpunk courtroom mystery game and the first episode is free. (also i’ve been obsessed with it lately and need more people to talk about it pls pls pls)
Berin@discuss.tchncs.deOPto Games@lemmy.world•Able to Play, a game repository that helps you find games that match your accessibility needs, just launched!English6·4 months agoWhen I saw this, I immediately sent the link to a gamedev I know who has a disability. They were really excited 🥰
we discussed this over in !otomegames@ani.social back when it was initially announced! The fandom seems to be delighted about this feature, but I’m personally more concerned about the data privacy aspect of it all…the author is absolutely right to look at this whole thing with scepticism
I find it a little far-fetched to solely link the popularity of otome games to some kind of frustration with modern dating, though. Romance games (and romance in games, e.g. Baldur’s Gate 3 or Mass Effect) offer a lot of fun in-and-of themselves.

We get a boyband outfit for this event, so I’m really excited for it!!
Here’s the banner I posted in the original thread, it’s a screenshot from steamdb of games with at least 100k reviews and a user rating of at least 89 with the details of each card omitted:

As an alternative, there are tons of gamepad icons on freepik like this one that could be used as long as theres an attribution link in the community description.
Also here’s a quick collage I screenshotted from steamdb, feel free to use it if there aren’t any better ones by others:

Video games are part of our culture and reflect our society the same way as movies, books, and other media. And, like with old books, preserving and studying old games allows us to understand the environment and time in which they were created, as well as the concepts and ideas that they drew upon, or that newer games drew from them.
I passively collect GC seals by running normal roulettes and rolling on all of the gear tokens to exchange them and turn the gear in at my GC through expert deliveries. You could unsync the highest level normal raid you can clear to collect tokens for that method?

Berin@discuss.tchncs.deto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 22ndEnglish1·9 months agoGot myself a Switch and started playing Cult of the Lamb and Jack Jeanne! Cult of the Lamb is incredibly fun, and I’ve just started the second dungeon~
Yes, More TWEWY love!! I’m kind of sad that’s the franchise seems to get overlooked a lot
The DS series was the peak handheld generation for me. I like that the console’s design encouraged creative game mechanics, and it has some of my favourite games of all time. I have a DS Lite, a 3DS and a new 3DS, though I think the original DS line had the better game library compared to the 3DS. The camera and 3D effect were rather gimmicky and didn’t add much value for me.
I think the game that best encapsulates what I love about the DS is The World Ends With You, a JRPG set in modern Tokyo that used both screens at once in its action combat system - to control two different characters. The character on the bottom screen would have you use touch gestures to trigger attacks, while you needed to do button combos to control the character on the top. It was insanely fun!
Other games I liked from the early DS era are Hotel Dusk, a detective game that is played in “vertical mode” so you hold the console like a book - and Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!, the original Japanese version of Elite Beat Angels, a rhythm game.
I also played all romance/otome games that were available in English for the DS, my favourite was Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side.
The DS figured out touch-based interactions way better than smartphones which are like the main touch-based “handheld” nowadays. That is because you could dedicate the entire touchscreen to gameplay input, since you still had the top screen to show relevant game information. Smartphones on the other hand need to utilize the entire screen both for input and displaying stuff, which just doesn’t work as well imo.

Berin@discuss.tchncs.deto Games@sh.itjust.works•Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of May 27th, 2024English2·1 year agoI played Sacrifice for Sale, a small indie comedy/horror visual novel where you’re playing a vacuum salesman who tries to not get sacrificed by a cult. It has a huge amount of different endings, so there’s lots of replayability despite the short length.
also the girls who want to kill you are pretty cuteYesterday, I also finished playing duck detective: the secret salami and it’s pretty amazing. The voice acting is suitably over the top and the artstyle is adorable. hoping for a sequel!
Didnt they announce duo queue for casual cc? Was that for 7.3 or later?
