A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? (sh.itjust.works)

Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

I really want to try it out but I’m worried it’ll ruin my life. It looks fun but I really don’t have a ton of time these days for gaming and I don’t want to get super hooked on a game I know I’ll spend way too much time on.

It is 3am, and after ~60 hours over the last two weeks I have launched my first rocket and gotten the game complete screen. I smile and slowly blink dry, crusty, tired eyes. Finally, I can rest. I have to be to the airport in four hours.

I couldn't get past the browness of the graphics. Satisfactory on the other hand...

I recently started it with the caveat that I'm not allowed to pay without my brother. So he comes by once or twice per month and we go crazy for a few hours.

If I did it myself I'd lose my job.

You can play Factorio in coop? Is it good? This games looks like very personnal.

[–] MirrorGiraffe@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah you can. For us it worked because we focus on different parts and then meet up, discuss and give feedback or help.

But you need to do it with someone you get along well with.

I think you may have made a typo of "pay" instead of "play" :) Either that or I'm mistaken about what kinda game factorio is...

Oops!

Hope you have a lovely day! ☺️

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah watch out for this one then. Especially if you get into the mods that turn a 30-50 hour campaign into 500+ hours with 20x more complexity.

Currently 6 months into a full pyanodons run. I hope to complete it within 2000 hours.
