I do play FPS games, but not on controller. Beyond that I can't really say - there was nothing that grabbed me in 30 minutes of playtime, and every other metroid game had at least something interesting at the beginning with some intrigue. With Prime, it seemed like the Interesting Thing were the mechanics themselves, which, on their own, didn't do it for me.

because ban evasion is a problem and dealing with cheaters is more effective when they don't know they've been tagged as a cheater

I find mobile games to be a crapshoot, and I've only ever found a select few hidden gems that are exceptions:

  • Armory & Machine, an incremental game. Avoid the sequel.
  • Underhand, a card game good enough for people who don't like card games.

start with tomb raider 2013. these games are very long, I'm not sure if shadow of the tomb raider didn't feel as good because it was actually a worse game or just more of the same. I remember thinking it was fine but was a bit burnt out.

lara's origin story in the first one is very good

That's the next thing Lemmy needs, an on-screen reminder about what community you're looking at

I am hugely into the 2D Metroid games and bought the new Metroid Prime remake on switch and I just could not get into it.

I played it for about half an hour and then died, and there were no save points along the way anywhere, so I'm forced to restart a game I didn't enjoy from scratch knowing I need to last even longer than that in my next playthrough before I can just save the game.

I really want to like it but my god this game is asking a lot

that video doesn't work for me, do you have a direct link?

nevermind, it works if I change to the local instance this was posted on: https://startrek.website/post/61401

Need something a lot simpler than this though

 

VRG is now a verified mod

This means that you can now join any un-modded server in VR, and other players will not see your game as modded since the mod is now fully client-side.

maybe not for episode 1

The introduction of this trailer really looks like they were going for a Monkey Island movie.

Then I thought, why haven't they made a Monkey Island movie?

What was your intent exactly? Many of us probably could have made the same mistake, this is confusing

It seems that there's some missing middle-management link conversion that someone needs to release.

If someone makes a post saying (and I'm making up links here, don't click them) - there's a new reddit-equivalent community at https://lemmy.world/c/whatever come join! ....that's only telling us half the story.

So newbies click this link and oh they have to create a lemmy.world account? What about if they already created a lemmy.one account? Do they need multiple accounts? We know they don't, but they don't know that yet.

Even experienced users can't make use of that link at all, and this is the crux of the issue. Every link given out has to be some sort of !whatever@your.instance variant. And you have to manually search for that or manually enter it. It's 2023 and this renders your hyperlink unclickable and that much trickier to use.

On mobile I assume it's even harder, or even mobile-to-desktop or desktop-to-mobile.

There needs to be a one-click way to subscribe to communities using the instance you're logged into without all the back and forth.
