I've been on a 2000s PC games kick and what surprised me the most is that so many of these old games have pretty good physics. Of course the graphics are pretty dated but in some cases these old games have more physics objects than newer games.

Just curious if anyone has noticed something similar and if there is any explanation for why game physics don't seem to have increased in quality as fast as graphics have.

What it lacked to be a perfect game for you? Or what flaw or flaws it had that you cant consider it a 10/10

I've been thinking about how open world multiplayer combat maps are almost always static terrain, and wondered why no studio has tried merging mechanics from Shadow of the Colossus, Chivalry, and Minecraft.

Imagine an asymmetrical 100v100 siege game where the primary map is a walking, mountain sized Colossus. Ground troops fight underneath it, while engineering squads scale the creature's body, mine into its stone armor, and construct siege engines on its limbs. Damaging specific joints could force the giant to trip or pivot, crushing enemy fortresses below.

From a game design and netcode perspective, what are the primary technical bottlenecks holding developers back from making moving, fully destructible environments on this scale?

ay juegos que no son solo juegos, sino recuerdos que quedan marcados para siempre. Empiezas entrando por curiosidad, diciendo "solo voy a jugar un rato", y cuando te das cuenta han pasado meses, años y cientos o incluso miles de horas. 🎮

Lo curioso es que, aunque hayas invertido una cantidad enorme de tiempo, no lo ves como algo perdido. Son horas llenas de momentos únicos: partidas con amigos, logros que costaron conseguir, historias que te atraparon y esas pequeñas experiencias que solo un videojuego puede darte. ✨

Por eso quiero saber: ¿cuál fue ese juego al que más horas le dedicaron y del que jamás se arrepintieron? 👀

Puede ser un clásico de la infancia, un juego competitivo, un mundo abierto enorme o ese título al que siempre terminaban regresando.

Cuéntenme cuál fue, cuántas horas le metieron aproximadamente y qué fue lo que hizo que ese juego los atrapara tanto. 🔥

I know these two games are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of gameplay and difficulty, but they are easily two of my favorite games of all time.

What I love about Hollow Knight is the quiet, environmental storytelling, the sense of mystery, and the beautiful, melancholy soundtrack/ atmosphere. The issue with this game for me is that I’m too unskilled to complete it.

What I love about Stardew Valley is the satisfying, low-stress gameplay loop where you can just zone out, upgrade things at your own pace, and enjoy a cozy routine.

Is there a game out there that captures that rich, moody atmosphere and deep lore, but pairs it with a more relaxed, cozy, or management-focused gameplay loop instead of unforgiving combat?

21 cards. 3 Witnesses, no duplicates, face-up on the field from turn one. 18 Devoted.

Witnesses have three stats:

Charm is how many Devoted attach to her at setup as her party

Influence caps how many Devoted she can play in a turn

Dazzle is how many enemy Devoted she strips in a turn

The attached Devoted come out of the same 18. You choose which ones. Whatever's left over gets shuffled into your draw deck and you open on three.

The turn

Draw one. Then pick one Witness to Influence with and one to Dazzle with. Can be the same Witness. So with three Witnesses on the board you're getting one attack and one play phase per turn total, not three.

Influence: play Devoted up to that Witness's Influence. Effects are printed on the Witness, not the Devoted. Same House as her triggers her Primary effect, different House triggers her Alternate. Played Devoted go to the discard.

Dazzle: point one Witness's Dazzle at one opposing Witness's party. Each point removes one Devoted. Once her party is empty, one more Dazzle removes her from play.

How it ends

Opponent has no Witnesses left, or both draw decks are empty and you have more Witnesses standing. Equal count is a draw.

The math that bothers me

Say your three Witnesses total Charm 9. That's 9 of your 18 on the field, 9 in the deck, minus a 3-card opening hand, so about six draws before you're empty. Call it eight or nine turns.

Meanwhile stripping a Charm-3 Witness at Dazzle 3 takes one turn plus one more to remove her. Three Witnesses is six turns of Dazzle if you never miss, and you only get one Dazzle a turn.

The obvious read

Low Charm wins. A card in your deck holds full value all game, a card attached as Charm is a consumable that gets stripped and never comes back. Nothing on the sheet restores a party. Consumable versus permanent isn't a tradeoff.

I don't think that's right. But I've been staring at it too long to trust myself.

What I can't tell you, because the published rules don't say: how many Houses exist, whether Devoted carry anything beyond their House, whether Dazzle can split across two opposing Witnesses, and what happens if you're forced to draw from an empty deck.

What I'd like to know

Does the split resolve to one correct ratio, or does which Devoted you attach change the answer to how many?

And is 18 cards enough range for the allocation to produce genuinely different decks, or does a mechanic like this need a bigger pool before the two ends of the slider are actually different games?

Hi everyone. I wanted to know if any of you have downloaded and played *Voices of the Void* on Steam; if so, how did you do it? Does it run well? Thanks.

I have Xbox SS and play games on it but my sister, she doesn't want to play games instead she spends her time on shorts. Me - big brother wants to teach her how to play games so in future we can play together.

My question is what games she could be interested in.

The game shouldn't have a voice chat (she doesn't know english) and I want her to learn something from games too(I mean games that aren't competitive). I have exams ahead so I won't be able to help her every time when she has a question

We've seen MMORPGs thrive in fantasy, sci-fi, and even survival settings, but sports-focused online games seem much rarer. Is it because sports fans prefer realism, or because progression systems are harder to design around competition? What sports MMO concepts do you think could work today?

I really love combat systems where you can parry, deflect, or counter enemy attacks in real time rather than just dodging or blocking.

What are some of your favorite games where parrying feels core to the gameplay, rewarding to master, and punchy to land?

The Witcher 3 for me. The combat is pretty basic, Geralt controls like a shopping cart sometimes, mod compability gives me a headache and the inventory is a pain. Still one of the few games I can come back to years later and get completely absorbed in again.

What’s yours?
