Monday Night Combat, and especially its successor, SMNC, had such good potential. It was a damn shame the developers bet on a different project of theirs instead. And now over a decade later, Valve picks up the formula to make Deadlock.

If you like that kind of game, also check out SEUM and Neon White.

ODDCORE (939 Steam reviews, Early Access)
Roguish boomer FPS where you travel to liminal spaces to shoot all the monsters. They’re not scary if they’re dead! Instead of having a map of encounters, you get 5 minutes to do as much as possible. Once you’ve cleaned out a space, you jump to the next world… unless your teleport gun glitches out and takes you someplace very weird. At any time, even during combat, you can jump to your home base to buy upgrades or extra time credit.

WORMHOLE (51 Steam reviews)
WORMHOLE is next-level Snake. I’ve written about it before! There are powerups, wormholes (obviously), and increasingly complex and cramped levels. The game’s graphics and music get more intense over time and it becomes an oddly hypnotic action game.

I’m glad to see these threads again! They’re fun.
Ash & Adam’s GOBSMACKED (37 Steam reviews)
This is a single-player arcade FPS. You battle robots in a series of arenas with a set of wacky weapons, with shops in between. At the start of each run, you have to buy yourself a starting loadout using the money you got from previous runs, but you can’t choose the same items as your last run. Buying an item for the first time at a shop unlocks it so you can choose it as a starter in a future run.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Robust kart racer with advanced mechanics that reward good driving and still-working online multiplayer!
- Comment on Solved or not, what games have great detailed mysteries/conspiracy theories that you can completely miss? 2 weeks ago:
There’s the fan theory from the Pokémon Black/White series that N, the half-rival/half-enemy, is secretly a Zoroark. He has a similar hairstyle and it would explain his backstory as a wild child and why he somehow has the ability to understand Pokémon. There’s also a chase sequence where you follow a Zoroark around, but you reach the dead end of a cave and it’s just him there.

That’s definitely one of the things that grabs my attention when I browse for games!
I would say that as well about WORMHOLE and Hypnospace Outlaw.

I personally didn’t feel any issue with the game being small. Besides, a bonus of fast travel not being necessary is that it’s not necessary! I’m assuming that in the JRPG tradition, it’s more about a “large” story than a large playable area.

I was hyped for this game until I saw it uses Denuvo. That killed my excitement for a proper successor to Sonic Racing Transformed.

- Comment on What is the Shortest Possible Ride in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2? 2 months ago:
I genuinely believe this is a post that would be appreciated in this community. I don’t see what’s meme-ish about the video other than that it’s entertaining in addition to being generally interesting, even to those outside the RCT niche. I’ve licked boot before and reported posts here for rule 4 violations, but this seems in line with other non-“gaming news” videos here:
- [Ahoy] What genre is DOOM?
- “I made a website to revive dead multiplayer games (GameDate)” by batty
- Portal, but the portal surfaces are inverted (I shared this one)
- and various occasional videos about speedrunning achievements
My personal motivations to post to !games@lemmy.world are to share things that are interesting with at least some level of intellectual stimulation, to contribute my original effort in magazine-like content from time to time (as Atticus, PerfectDark, and CobySev also do), and to share news that gaming news sites don’t cover. From my own perspective, I think I’ve demonstrated appropriate discretion in posting things here; I don’t bring in every headline and video I see pop up that has something to do with games. This channel has plenty of videos about RCT but I chose to share this one because it’s not so deep that it would belong in a game-specific community and not so shallow that it’s gaming lifestyle/humour content, but it is in a range where the topic is reasonably appreciable by a general core gaming audience.
r/games is so uptight that it’s pretty much a gaming news RSS feed with a comment section and the “gaming” communities are upvote farms with only marginal connections to games themselves. I like here because I like the mix of high-profile news, low-profile news, and original discussion. If you don’t think videos like this belong here, I’m okay with that, but rule 4 will probably need a revision to better match what you want here to be. I thought this post was adequately within the spirit of that rule, as were those other videos I cited.
Anyway, let’s discuss this video.
Marcel Vos makes a lot of deep, technical videos about RollerCoaster Tycoon. This is actually a follow-up to his previous video where he goes into how he updated the longest ride ever to be even longer. That video was pretty deep and it’s also a mind-numbing 41 minutes long. Compared to his usual fare, this demonstration of very short rides is much more accessible! And short!
In my opinion, what makes this not meme-ish is that he doesn’t add humorous music or other embellishments to his demos, and he shares (AFAIK) his own knowledge and work in figuring out how to make very short rides, including some creative and contrived ways to reduce the length of a ride. It’s not a mere clip compilation or just reading from a wiki or subreddit, so there is an informative, intellectual element. I find it really fascinating to see people optimize the hell out of a game purely out of curiosity and appreciation of it, especially when the game is long past its trendy phase.

- Comment on Portal 2: Community Edition goes open beta on April 17 2 months ago:
I think the video I linked in the post would demonstrate the benefits better than me writing here. I agree that the look of Portal 2 has long-lasting appeal, but P2CE introduces improved lighting and graphics rendering inspired by Source 2 while still being Source 1. Otherwise, the improvements are mainly technical, like removing signature “Source spaghetti” engine limitations.
The real killer feature is that it reorganizes Portal 2 under the hood to be very mod- and custom campaign-friendly, so it will be the Portal enthusiast’s dream platform.
- Comment on Portal 2: Community Edition goes open beta on April 17 2 months ago:
You’ll miss out on the plot of 1 that sets up for 2, but for gameplay, you would be fine. But if 1 crashes, you better hope 2 works well.
