Some stuff happened to me recently, and lately I've found I do not enjoy violent games anymore. I just go to a bad place if I spend too long killing virtual people. This includes the "non-lethal" violence of mercilessly beating the shit out of people, or forcing them to take sleepy-time drugs against their will.

So let's talk about games that are non-violent, or at least have interesting non-violent gameplay options.

Thief 2 immediately comes to mind. Yeah, you can bean people in the head with a truncheon, but that's not at all required to finish the game (I think). Feel free to correct me.

OG Mirror's Edge is also a really good one. I think the art is beautiful, and I really like running the levels over and over and over trying to do things slightly faster than the last time. I guess this is how racing games are in general, though I haven't played many beyond Trackmania Squared.

Funnily enough, I tried to play Asscreed II non-violently: just focusing on the collectibles, touring the cities, learning about all the history and architecture, not killing anybody. Unfortunately, since I didn't already have a post-story save file on hand, the violence required to advance the plot and see new areas kind of burned me out and killed the whole experience.

Viva Pinata. It's a game about attracting living pinatas to your garden with plants, terrain, scenery or other pinatas. The game has some child-friendly violence with predators hunting prey, or smacking an unwanted visitor with a shovel, but they explode into treats when their health is depleted and reform themselves outside your garden perimeter.

Which games do you think use this technology the best? Personally I think it's done the best in FOSS and Freeware games (Not free-2-play), as they're more likely to actually flesh out their use of generation to make something enjoyable, as well as give the player tools to manipulate their surroundings in some way.

I recently found out about noctis, a DOS space explorer written in C and assembly with some cool generation. It's not as detailed or powerful as what's available now, but it is quite relaxing to play.
I'm not sure if it is truly the "best" in utilization but I like that it is pure space exploration with pretty much no fluff mechanics. The simplicity, while a bit lame for today's standards, makes it pretty appealing imo. You just explore cool planets with enough effort needed to travel between planets to make even small discoveries feel significant.

I've actually been wanting to play Noctis for a while. I remember seeing it mentioned in a thread on a certain imageboard, and I was intrigued. But I then forgot about what site it was from, so thoroughly that I even forgot that I had bookmarked it. It looks just as cool as I remembered thinking it was.
I don't think simplicity is bad at all. If anything, I think more games need some of its fat trimmed off. I think having focused, if narrow set of mechanics is a good thing, though there is still charm in having complexity for the sake of properly simulating a real life task.

Any Psychonaut fans here?
What were your thoughts on Psychonauts 2?
I enjoyed it for the most part. Graphics and gameplay were vastly improved, but what made the first Psychonauts so great for me, was its writing, and unfortunately, the writing felt weaker here. Found it to be a lot less funny, didn't have its dark, cynical humour like before, but I guess pic related explains that change.

I like it, but would have liked it more if (Hot Topic warning) The gay couple was less hamfisted. I dunno why, but it seems common for western developers to put gay relationships in a pedestal while normal ones are ostracized. I think they should make these relationships more flawed because, human beings are that way and we can't be all kooky about something which is still being taboo in many societies. Even the silliest romcom has characters with flaws in them. Scholars of the Wilbur Sin for example has a gay couple but it's actually very well written, with highs and lows, just to give an example
Other than that, the Jimi Hendrix level was really really good. I think the game was, because of what I said before, not that great, but it could have been better really.

I suppose if you compare how Helmut and Bobs relationship was showcased with Ford and Lucrecia's, theirs was made to look flawless while bob's and lucrecia's had a lot of problems. In terms of being hamfisted, I thought it wasn't made immensely grandiose, but maybe I'm just used to it as you see a lot of homos in western media now. I just wished the comedic writing had more balls like the first one, them taking the piss out of the mentally unwell was funny (like the milk man) but I guess now the game has to be about being a 'decent human being' by caring about mental health, so you can't do characters like that anymore. You could do both, have comedic moments about how insane someone is while slowly fixing them with care. At least overall its aesthetics (even though in unreal engine everyone looks they were coated in Vaseline so it looks less gritty then the first one), gameplay, and level designs were great. The controls on Raz are way tighter, and the new variety of enemies you have which force you to make use of your new, different powers were definitely and improvement on the first one. I think I prefer the level designs in the Psychonauts 1 as they were far crazier, but in 2, all the levels have a special uniqueness to them, which make them very fun to explore. I think I enjoyed Ford's Fractured Minds levels the most, but the jimi hendrix one was great, very colourful and vibrant.

I think something that was fairly lackluster as well is how the other campers, I forgot the name of them, don't get much spotlight for the whole game until the final boss.
Like, it would have been cool to do some side missions with them instead of just collecting things in the overworld. The one baking was the one I liked the most, I wish her story was more fleshed out.
Even then, I am glad something like this got out. It was better than most current vidya as of late.

This is something I forgot to mention. Yes, I completely agree with you, they're barely used, and all of them (except Sam Boole) are completely unlikeable. Not that there wasn't unlikeable characters in the first one, but they at least had funny, interesting character traits, while these ones in 2 are just narcissistic teens who are 'too cool for school'. But if they were more fleshed out and the game showed other sides to their personality in, as you said, some cool side missions, rather than just collecting shit around the map, that would've been great. At least the Psychic Seven were fun and sort of made up for the lackluster campers.

For minecraft, maybe try version 1.7.10 with Optifine, FoamFix, and Fastcraft. 1.7.10 is the oldest patch that'll let you play on minigame servers (or any other server that has implemented backwards compatibility, for that matter) So it might perform well? I remember playing 1.5.2 on a celeron like yours without those performance mods, so 1.7 should be possible. If you want to try later patches, the latest you'll want to go is either 1.14.x or 1.16.x .Either of those with the sodium modloader and jellysquid's performance mods (found on modrinth.com) might work, although it'll probably be unplayable, if I'm being honest. There are more exotic things to do as well, like JVM arguments and editing the actual core assets (because using a texture pack actually makes you lose performance, despite being 8x8) but those usually result in minimal gains, assuming you have enough RAM allocated. Worst comes to worst, you could always run minetest instead. Lainchan had a nice server up, iirc, which you could play on. Sorry for the longpost about minecraft, but it's one of my favorites that I play with friends and it needs a lot of optimization that mojang is unwilling to do.

Are you on team Steam, or are you a local copy kind of person?

I'm on both sides of the fence, but I find myself leaning towards the latter lately.

No matter how much money Valve makes, I still feel like they'll go the way of AOL and Myspace one day.

Or perhaps not.. Steam has been around in some form for over 10 years, an eternity in the software world. Users still enjoy frequent sales, access to the latest titles, and the vibrant social networking. Steam makes it easier for people to organize multiplayer games, and lets friends with like minded tastes stay in touch.

And you can't understate the growing popularity of esports, where Counter Strike and DOTA hold prestigious positions, both requiring Steam in order to play.

There are many other features I could go into with VR, automatic updates, good support for GNU/Linux(Gabe Newell uses Debian iirc), ect..

The bottom line: Steam is convenient, easy, and rules the market.

So I'm wondering, what makes it so desirable to leave the Steam client behind? My first argument was that your local games will always be yours so long as you maintain the data. Meaning you just need to avoid having the games deleted, and if your storage drive fails, have backups of your games.

It's honestly less about any sort of moral values I might have about Steam and more about the fact that buying physical copies of things is not actually practical or even possible most of the time these days.

I don't know about you, but I don't actually have any gamestops near me. Plenty of indie games, or games from smaller companies just clean up do not release their games on disc.

Obviously I can pirate games and then keep a local copy, and I do do that, but on some level I feel like that's missing the point.

Honestly, even though I bought many a game from steam, I'm a local storage kind of guy. Further, I confess that I either used steamless or cracked the drm myself for the games I paid for. Paying for a license to a game is right up there with compound interest for "most usurious crap ever".

There may be some games I want on origin or whatever, I'm not sure. If I get those, I'm not sure how I'll crack them, but I'll probably find a way as long as its a single person game that I don't need a constant connection with a server in order to play.

In any case, it looks like either GOG, or FOSS gaming. And the later isn't always bad believe it or not. I'll always like Quake III, but OpenArena is like a kroger generic version of it, it's fun as hell, and I can meet up with people involved in the broader foss/linux/bsd/etc community.

I still have my steam account, but I rarely use it anymore.

 No.1617

I haven't bought games in a while, but when I do I prefer local/hard copies. I don't think steam will go unless the who net dies. Still though, I'd rather my access to what I paid for not be determined by a third party.

I'm still in the middle of playing early game Oblivion and just started opening up the Frostcrag Spire which should eventually lead to custom spells, looking forward to it. Been taking a break from Oblivion right now, though.

Fable TLC was really fun, when you're getting to endgame its fun to spawn all the passive spells/ ones that stay on you until they're used.
>Summon lower mob
>Summon ghost swords to protect you
>Turn on shield
>Enchant your bow so it has a glowing aura (multi-shot spell)

There's a pretty large variety of spells in this game
Slow time
Increase your strength with a berserk spell
You can 'teleport' behind enemies like its nothing personnel
And your healing spell when its high can heal literal crowds of people which I always do in the pubs because it makes everyone love you.

I hope they make a of this old system in the new upcoming Fable.
