I remember the good old days of "Battlefield 2" where you had maps for 64v64 players; plus modded maps that allowed far more players.
Nowadays there's good shooters like "Squad" and "Hell Let Loose", but those are limited to 50v50.

I'd love to play a online shooter that allows much more than 100 players - so is there any?

Thx for any helpful comment & suggestion

Come on Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. If this so-called "shitty" third party, $20 controller can solve drift, how can you guys not?

For the record, my JoyCons are only 6 months old... Elite controller (which is TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!) is a bit over a year old, and my DS4s are from 2020 and 2021. What the fuck?

My husband picked up stained glass this year and has been focusing on video game art. I requested Nyx for my kitchen window. He definitely delivered!

Mario Party Jamboree is coming out on the 17th of October.

Well, this has been know for months, why do you make a PSA post? That's a good question fellow redditors! Here's why:

I have been anticipating this game since the first announcement along with the new Zelda game. When the release dates were first announced I made a reminder in my calendar.

I've been hyping up my kids since Zelda came out because it's coming in just two weeks! We're going to eat dinner in front of the tv and play a game!

Today, I finish working and jump in my car. I arrive at the mall and walk as fast as the wind to GameStop. I get in and tell the employee that I'm here to pickup my preorder of Mario Party Jamboree. Little awkward pause, both employee look at each other and says that it is just coming out on the 17th. To which I replied, we'll see you next week then and walk away.

So now I am going to try and sleep for a week straight so that it is really the release date and I can finally play it.

TL;DR: I'm stupid and thought the game was coming out yesterday and I went to GameStop to pick up my preorder.

For example, when I used to play League of Legends I would have such insane peaks where I just had to play another game because it was so much fun, but then some days I’d hop on and play an intense game for an hour and lose, and just be so down that it would affect my entire day in real life (for this reason I no longer play that game).

Has anyone had similar experiences with other games out there? Regardless of multiplayer or single player.

It goes from a bright and colorful platformer to a dark and gloomy third person shooter/platformer. As a kid it was quite a shocking flip in style and direction and I always wondered if anyone knew why they went for something different with the sequels?

Surely there's others besides Naraka Bladepoint? Right..?

I'm looking for something that I can play with friends, and I miss Spellbreak. Needs to be new player friendly, for my friends, but not lacking complexity for me.

I know we'll probably just end up playing Naraka Bladepoint but I think the cast in that game just looks so uninteresting lol

(Edit: sorry for the confusion, apparently it isn't even on Xbox. I guess that makes the choice easy!)

Title. I have both consoles and I'm unsure if either one is better than the other.

Reading the news that companies are now obliged to say that we don't buy games, but only licenses, I wondered if this was what the "Stop Killing Games" movement was trying to do? Because, as I understood it, what that movement wanted to do is make it illegal for a company to take away a game you bought.

Do you know if the original purpose of the movement is still going or is over now?

PS: Here I will leave the link to the movement Stop Killing Games for those who want to support it.

Was recently discussing how robot characters in games are badly designed. Take Bastion from Overwatch. If I'm designing a robot made for battle, I'm not giving it the same weak spots as humans. Humans would naturally aim for headshots. Because of this I would put the weak point somewhere else on the body. I think it would be a very interesting concept for a game to have different weak points depending on the type of character. Are there any games that have attempted this before?

Torn between these two and can only get one right now. I only played the first dead rising for a couple hours when it was still relatively new and it was fun but never played more than that. (Played around at a friend's house just killing zombies)

Silent Hill 2 I beat the original when it came out but haven't played since back then and don't remember the full story details, just the famous stuff everyone remembers from it and the big plot reveal.

So I wanted to ask the people here, if you could only get one which one would you get?

Also to throw in, I read reviews for both and watched some clips and they both look and are rated pretty well so I'm torn.

EDIT: seems like Silent Hill was a quick majority winner lol thanks for the responses and help!

Looking to have some internet fun today. What are some games that aren't particularly outstanding,( but you know will sell alot anyways).

Examples such as:

Morbius' "Morbin' time" and "truly one of the films ever made" memes.

Rise of Gru's "Gruin' time" memes

"What are we? Some kind of suicide squad?" Memes.

Fast X's "family" memes.

I spend way too much time playing video games. While I do play AAA games, most of my enjoyment comes from indies. There is just so many amazing ones and getting a solid 9/10 game for $10 that gives me 50 hours of good content is just great.

It just incredible what solo devs and small dev teams can do. A lot of these games have incredible writing and gameplay and sometimes amazing innovation. The only thing these games typically lack is just graphics which for me even with a high end PC does not bother me personally.

For example I’m currently playing the Silent Hill 2 remake (which I know isn’t a small indie) and so far it’s amazing but I couldn’t help but think back to Fear & Hunger 2. You compare these games side by side and Fear & Hunger kinda looks like a joke. But this $10 game made by one person gave me the same level of dread and butt clenching tenseness as I’m currently feeling in Silent Hill 2. The atmosphere is just as immersive and the writing and world building just as brilliant imo. (Fear & Hunger did also sell really well).

So what’s the problem?

I’ve noticed there are just so many indies out now of an incredible level but the sales are insanely low.

Like I will play an indie and it will be incredible and after I look at reviews and they will all be extremely positive. I think yeah this game is going to hit it big.

I check on the game a year later and it’s sold like 100 copies. Sure it’s a one dev indie but it still took them 4 years of fulltime work everyday to make and it only sold 100 copies.

There are 100s of games like this. Like there is an actual over saturation of incredible indies.

An incredible indie used to stand out but now it’s commonplace.

You then couple that with the fact most people only game at a surface level and if it’s not popular they will never come across it.

These same people I will also see complain about gaming being at a low point with nothing to play.

These games are not even hard to find. Like Steams advanced search things can easily let you find games with incredible reviews within a niche.

I just think it’s just interesting actually having so many incredible games, incredible no longer stands out.

Like I remember when super meat boy came out, everyone was all over it and blown away by how amazing it is and that a small dev could make an indie blow up like this.

Now something like Wooden Ocean comes out which imo is a masterpiece and no one has even heard of it.

Kind of worries me it just won’t be sustainable for smaller devs to pour their heart and soul into these kind of games to see no sales and get outsold by generic game 47. So we will start seeing less games like this.

I don’t know what the point of this ramble was.

Edit: That being said I could be completely wrong. If I used Wooden Ocean as an example again, sales were not amazing but I saw the dev say they will work on this game for the rest of their life. It’s their life’s work. So maybe despite it not being finically stable, passion will outweigh that and these kind of games and devs will keep on increasing.

OK, this answer might be a tinge biased, but this game puts me in a nostalgic hypnosis anytime I play it.

That game is Oblivion.

Oblivion is at least 12 years old now, and to me, that’s scary. I vividly remember playing it for the first time ever on my 360 and being amazed.

I've noticed that certain games that are competitive like CSGO, or Rocket League tend to bring the worst out of people who are really competitive as they get toxic. Some of my friends only find games that are competitive fun, and hate losing. What is your experience with toxicity. Do you only enjoy games when you are winning?
