stop making single player games that have an always online component that prevent you from pausing

i work from home i need to be able to pause the game while im playing on company time

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

What about single player games that for no fucking reason at all whatsoever make you be online.

Yes I installed RedDeadRedemption2

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

that sucks too and is only slightly less egregious

[-] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

ah ah, rdr2's got red dead online attached to it now, so it's no longer just "a single player game"

๐Ÿค“ โ˜

[-] The_Jewish_Cuban@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I think you can pirate an early version of the game without that

[-] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

there's a pc port of rdr2 without rdo? interesting

i wonder if there's much change between that version and the current version in the main, singleplayer campaign

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Counterpoint: make every game have optional co-op so I can play with my girlfriend.

Also get rid of competitive games, we don't need the toxicity.

Playing tomb raider 1 coop via openlara showed me a world where games can be fun with others without the need for coop to even be coherent or make sense. Idk why coop has to be some crappy separate mode or made to be logical just give me two main characters please, thanks.

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Exactly! Sven coop is another perfect example of this

[-] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

tomb raider 1 coop via openlara

so did you have like 2 similar looking laras walking around? ๐Ÿค”

[-] Yurt_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

2 Lara on two screens but in the same level. And player 2 lara can teleport to player 1 lara. Its loads of fun

Multiplayer was good before everything decided it had to be some kind of esports competitive shite. There was a time I could just join a server and have a romp and then leave.

Battlefield 1943 is the distilled representation of multiplayer before it was ruined. Small fun game where nobody talks to anyone else you just play.

This is why I will just continue to play TF2 24/7 Harvest community servers until I die. With the chat turned off and the killfeed names hidden, of course

[-] edge@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Stop making so many multiplayer games. I have no one to play them with.

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

The only IRL person I know that is into vidyagames mostly plays hentai games.

[-] RangeFourHarry@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Coop when??

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

I love multiplayer, I hate having to coordinate random players to do activities, it's like wrangling cats

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

geordi-no: playing modern multiplayer games on public servers with teenagers

geordi-yes: playing mwii on a private bot server that we modify actively with custom game modes; always playing as the soviets

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

I got Easy Red 2, y'all wanna play?

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Dark Souls is the perfect basis for multiplayer. I like having strangers impact my game, I just don't want to talk to them. Glad to see elements of it in the new Mario!

[-] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You may be interested in Death Loop then. It's on Gamepass. It's an Arkane game and, while not super obvious, takes place in the world of Dishonored in the future. The whole thing focuses on replaying the same handful of levels and the main baddie can get controlled by people online. It's super fun playing the bad guy as well, trying to mess up the main character's run. Wonderful game that's just awesome in single player as well.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I like Arkane games a lot. Honestly been waiting until that one's cheap-cheap since I've heard it gets old after finishing it.

Didn't know about that player antagonist but

spoilerIs that the character that turns out to be the protagonist's child from the future or whatever?

[-] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

gets old after finishing it

Couldn't be more accurate. But absolutely loved it up until I was "done".

::: Yep, that's the one :::

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

playing digital versions of board games like root, everdell, or wingspan is also a great alternative to the all-pervasive shooter

[-] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Incorrect, please make more large scale co-op games for my friends and I to yell at each other in.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Would love some more quality couch co-op games. Both Diablo 4 and BG3 have been great for just having a couple of friends over and playing.

Just give me Fancy Guantlet

[-] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Stop making competitive pvp shooters, your ideas are crap and not original.
