In terms of 3D prince of persias, then I’d say The Sands of Time probably. It’s the most consistent and well-paced.

People love praising Warrior Within but I played it again recently and it doesn’t hold up. Lots of backtracking, lots of confusing camera angles and a frustrating world to get around. Dahaka is very cool though.

I don’t remember Two Thrones enough to comment on it, but I thought it was pretty good at the time.

Prince of Persia 2008 is my 2nd favorite and it still sucks that they never followed up on it. There’s a lot of room for improvement but it was a great entry.

What’s wild to me is, that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom didn’t appear once on this list.

Makes sense to me IMO. 2023 was a stacked year, and while TotK was a pretty good game, it was way too close to Breath of the Wild for me to even consider it as game of the year. Other games that could’ve won the award over it include Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Hi-Fi Rush, and Octopath Traveler 2.

Okay man, we get it. You like Bluesky. You’ve posted at least 10 articles of people moving from X to Bluesky.

Dude’s almost 60 years old. I really don’t understand the hype of watching someone fight a retired athlete.

I thought I read this before, and sure enough it’s a follow up to a 2023 article

TL;DR: 21 year old national guard leaked classified documents on Discord for attention and got caught for it. Nice work.

I am so interested in what a Spelunky short would be like. I wonder if she’ll sacrifice the dog for some items as we always do in the game.

Most people are in !asklemmy@lemmy.world

Surprisingly little talk about playing windows games on Android. Winlator is starting to get very popular and is becoming a big deal, within a year it’ll probably be able to play most 3D games.

We’ve known this for a while. LLMs are a dead end, lots of companies have tried throwing more data at it but it’s becoming clear the differences between each model and the next are getting too small to notice, and none of them fix the major underlying issue that chat models keep spreading BS because it can’t differentiate between right and wrong

Kingdoms of Amalur has very fun, very flashy combat. The rest of the game is really ehhh, but if you just want to blast magic and have cool skills then it’s a great choice.

Yup, things have definitely improved, especially with more extremist instances like lemmygrad being defederated and phased out. I do also want to give a shoutout to the devs for not pushing their stance and letting the platform grow naturally.

Yes, some instances are problematic, yes, some devs might have had problematic views.

I mean that’s basically the crux of it. That, and some moderation drama, and the software being very buggy a year ago giving people a bad first impression, and Lemmy still being susceptible to spam.

It’ll take some time before Lemmy (and the Threadiverse as a whole) improves its reputation and moves on from the “it’s a tankie website” take. That said, a lot of people in that thread are making the case for Lemmy, so it’s mostly just people worried it’s not as popular.

That depends on app developers, not MS. Having apps actually work through a translation layer would ease a lot of people’s problems when transitioning to ARM though.

If they did this from the start it might’ve sounded fine, but now it just feels like they’re trend-chasing after Apple Intelligence…

Scavenger’s Reign wasn’t advertised in the slightest. I watch a lot of animation. I browse Netflix occasionally. The only time I heard of this show was from word of mouth.

I agree so much, but it’s not even the “follow a friendly NPC while they talk” quests that get me. This game also has “follow the villain without getting caught” quests which are mind-numbingly boring. They move like a tortoise and look behind them once every minute or something to make sure you’re not standing right behind them. They’re insultingly dumb and treat me like I’ve never played a video game before.

Yup, but that’s my opinion of most open world games anyways. There’s a lot of Ubisoft-esque content like “free this stronghold” or sidequests that involve you slowly following an NPC and they get old very quickly. The combat also doesn’t evolve that much, so I found myself bored around the halfway point.

MediEvil. It’s not a horror game, but I always think of it as the game that carries the Halloween feeling the best.

Also the title is so misleading because it acts like it’s missing a vital component when most people really wouldn’t care about alternate covers…
