Ia that the one that has a map where you can press a button and the shelter closes and everyone outside gets nuked?

Retroachievements is also omega dope

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

They somehow got me to play a ton of Wii and collectathons this year with events and... some retro games suck but they suck less with RA.

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 23 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

Some of my most played games in the past few months are:

  • Animal Crossing (2001, GameCube)
  • Pokémon Yellow (1998, Game Boy)
  • Pokémon Crystal (2000, Game Boy Color)
  • various Castlevania games, from the 1986 NES original, to currently Rondo of Blood (1993, TurboGrafx-16)
  • God of War 1 & 2 (2005 & 2007, PS2)

Having a blast with these old games.

Also finished Breath of the Wild recently, which is a fairly new game, but still nearly 10 years old.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I've been promising myself one day to play Crystal. Have been thinking about it since it was released... One day.

A little mercy please. Thank you!

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Retro classics like Halo 3 and Breath of the Wild still hold up surprisingly well, being 20 and 10 years old respectively. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

I’m working my way through Links Awakening DX HD. The enhancements make a fantastic game even better.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

God of War 1 & 2 were such good games, especially 2. Then 3 was somehow even better. I've been playing Ragnarök this past month and I'm of half a mind to make a 2 hour rant video about how they are risking to destroy the series.

Retroarch is an amazing tool. It is also available on most phones now. Grab a BT controller or if you have a backbone that works too.

Ready to go with you games. Or do a nice setup on almost any computer at home.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Dolphin as well for Wii games. I was surprised when my 5 year old phone I paid maybe 150$ for could play most Wii games with zero lag.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I am thinking about starting the Xenosaga trilogy.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Thought we were talking about games, not very long movies...

Back in the day I bought an edition of xenosaga ii that came with a dvd of xenosaga I cutscenes....

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Really? Is that bad? Never played them, and I'm curious.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It was the height of long cutscene JRPGs.

But I recommend them wholeheartedly. Don't expect super involved gameplay mechanics, but a solid turn based JRPG with lengthy cutscenes.

Also be sure not to skip out on Xenogears.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I only have played the Xenoblade Chronicles series. I will check the Xenogears.

The other option is Fire Emblem: Awakening. Never played a Fire Emblem game.

Emotional recommendation of the year: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky.

It's almost upsetting having a 2009 pixel game have more emotional charge than a AAA with mocap and voice acting.

Still operating your repost bot swarm, eh?

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Quickest block of my life, thank you

[–] time2lose@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

appreciate it.
I know you guys from "dont touch billionaire reddit content" team hates me.

I will keep touching your content everywhere

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 5 points 15 hours ago

I saw this in my unreads without context and was like "oh god who've I pissed off now" so it was a relief when I realised 😅

[–] time2lose@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago

reddit finance team hates me :)

[–] xav@programming.dev 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I have a Bazzite home theater PC, running Steam. In fact I never play Steam games on it, it's mostly Kodi or games from the 80s upto Switch games (Mario Kart) via Emulation Station.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

I've been playing nothing but Pokemon ROM hacks for the last three weeks.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

✅ Breathtaking graphics and the newest games

❌ With monthly subscription fees and micro transactions

[–] NathanDerWeise@feddit.org 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Plug and play never went anywhere? It's used to describe usb peripherals that can be plugged into a computer and "just work" with zero setup or configuration. Like almost all modern mice and keyboards.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

They are referring to plug and play consoles. The like where the controller is the console itself and plugs into the tv. They used to be loads that would play atari games in the 00s for example

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Now it's "Plug, Wait 2 Hours, and Play."

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

If you have the storage required for the update.

[–] MrChewy@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Command&Conquer gang, anyone? :D
