Diablo IV, for me. I love the Diablo series and just a bit ago, I sank 2 hours down to get my necromancer character up and set in Diablo II Resurrection. I have Diablo III and its expansion too, but they're online only and I almost can't be bothered to go through that. I've beaten it a long time ago.

And I really do want to get Diablo IV, but they've made that online-only as well. Like, I know I'm always online and everything but I do like to have that fallback where if I am without internet or I can't afford internet for a time, I can play or watch things to bide the time over. I can't do that with online-only games because it's like being gated away from something you bought.

So everytime I look at Diablo IV, I just get a little depressed at times. Blizzard should do what D2R did, have an online character and have an offline character.

The Talos Principle 2. The micro stuttering makes it unplayable for me, and it will never get fixed.

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 4 points 5 hours ago

The newer Anno installments. I'm not buying another Ubisoft game unless they get rid of their stupid Launcher, and I'm also not buying anything with Denuvo and similar BS.

AC Shadows

I want to play it but fuck Ubisoft

[–] anarchyrabbit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Sail the high seas. That way you don't support them and get to play it. I haven't pirated a game for many years but some game houses deserves what comes to them

Bloodborne

The last console I owned was a PS3, and I don't plan on ever having another. Sony thankfully mostly got with the program and released a bunch of their stuff on PC, but Bloodborne remains a standout.

Even if you don't mind the online only part, ignore this abomination. They botched the D4 campaign. It's too easy and almost impossible to die during the regular campaign. It takes roughly two minutes to beat a world boss on the first play through.

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

Any game at the moment would be nice

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Hollow Knight. I watched someone on YouTube play it and I just don't want to spend that much time playing that kind of game. I'm someone who grew up playing Mario 64, Mario sunshine, Mario Galaxy and I just recall spending so much time playing those games as a kid. So much time wasted. Cannot bring myself to do that again. I'm pretty stubborn and so I know because I wasted so much time on those Nintendo games that I would pull ridiculous amounts of time on another game like that. Not worth it anymore for me.

rust,

  1. i'm on linux
  2. its rust
[–] urandom@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Can't you do rustup update and go from there?

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 22 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Silksong. My muscle disease has progressed too much to physically play it. That really stings because Hollow Knight was one of my favorite games ever.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That fucking suuuuuuuuucks. I wonder if there's a mod that could accommodate you somehow. I'm not trying to spawn a big debate about difficulty in games here, but I really wish you'd be able to play it for yourself, somehow.

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

I'm sure there's a cheat engine invulnerability hack or something I could use, but it would kinda take the fun out of it.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 1 points 9 hours ago

I agree. I was imagining maybe a time dilation mod that you could toggle on/off to make your inputs less physically demanding, but I don't know if that exists. That's how I'd do accessibility in this game personally. I don't know anything about your condition though, so really I'm just spitballing and daydreaming simultaneously.

Have you considered the Xbox Adaptive Controller? I know Microsoft designed this controller with different extensions an such to assist people with disabilities while gaming.

Here’s hoping for a healthy recovery chief!

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 9 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

World of Warcraft. I'm honestly at my happiest when all I have to worry about are dailies and raids. Unfortunately, that's not compatible with family life, my work, etc etc.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

I quit my job and dropped out of college to do nothing but play WoW for 8 solid months. It was worth it

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Myself, I miss the memories I could form playing with friends on WoW. Not the game that much.

Elite Dangerous. Extremely beautiful, especially impressive in VR - but way too time-consuming for me.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

why did they skip VR compatibility for the on foot sections of the game? seems insane

[–] Senal@programming.dev 3 points 16 hours ago

Holy fuck, "Space logistics simulator with some casual space piracy" the game.

For the receptive kind of brain that's some premium crack.

[–] rautapekoni@sopuli.xyz 2 points 15 hours ago

Escape from Tarkov. I put some time into Arc Raiders and that but as a hardcore milsim really seems like it would be a nice experience. I won't, however, give one penny of my money to Russia if I can help it.
