I got an OLED 1 TB for my birthday yesterday and I'm looking for titles I can download to play when I'm off shore on a ship. I like FPS games but am always looking for the next adventure. What do you suggest?

Edit- are there any Lemmy communities I should be checking out too? Aside from this one?

I don't know how much the Navy still resembles my time, but back then if you didn't want your PSP stolen by some shitbag, you painted it pink. Nobody ever stole pink electronics.

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

While that would probably still work, I'm not in the Navy.

Well have fun at sea, whatever you're doing! Don't forget to go on deck at night. Hopefully they shut the lights off so you can see bioluminescence and the stars.

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm on a tug and barge unit, I do shut the deck lights , it's amazing

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

It's one of the few things I really miss. God, those nights!

[–] peanuts4life@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

'Metal gear 5, the phantom pain' and 'Death Standing' both look amazing on the deck and are worth checking out if you don't mind Kojima studio's whole deal!

Recently installed MGSV on Deck and having a blast. It runs really well and I forgot how awesome the game is.

[–] buffaloseven@fedia.io 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I didn't even think of MGS5 on the Deck! I'd bet it runs great and it's easily one of the best stealth action games ever made. The story was a bit of a let down, but that gameplay made up for it.

[–] peanuts4life@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

It looks amazing, too! If Konami would hire a crew to go fix up the level scripting and maybe flush out some content, it'd compete with current releases

[–] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

Some cheap ones-

Vampire survivors

Into the breach

Your only move is hustle

Portal 1 & 2; aperture science desk job

Spelunkey

Slay the spire

Enter the gungeon

Hollow Knight

Lemmy communities you should keep an eye out for is: !gamedeals@lemmy.world for freebees and discounts. The other social media site that shall not be named also has a similar community with the same name.

As for new games when in doubt, Humble Bundle. They currently have some fantastic game deals right now if you are a fan of Capcom or Indi games. Outside of the Destiny 2 bundle I've heard nothing but positives from them.

Now as you say you are new to PC gaming I'm going to recommend you some niche/personal fav games of mine that either aren't on consoles, or aren't know well on consoles.

  • Antichamber, a first person "shooter", that's more of a mind bending puzzle game. The most atmospheric game I've played and a wonderful time.

  • Most thing from Valve, Half Life 1 & 2, Left for Dead, etc. All good fund and often onsale for dirt cheap. Get it if you find it for the right price. The YouTube series "Freeman's Mind" is worth a watch if you want a see what the gameplay is like.

  • Portal 1 & 2, Valve FPS and puzzle games. Well known, and obviously recommended. Play in order is advised.

  • Slime Rancher if you are looking for a framing game in the first person

  • Star Wars Dark Forces, Star Wars in the Doom Engine. Not the biggest fan but it's the first in a series of fun adventure games.

  • Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces II, This is an interesting genera of game. It is a FPS, but it's in the mission structure of the old doom games. With a narrative of Star Wars. There are light sabers, and you can cut off your enemies limbs. Fun time

  • Star Wars Jedi Knight II/Jedi Academe, aka Dark Forces III. Same as the first game but you get your saber quicker. Had a blast with academe.

  • Super Hot: Super. Hot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot.

  • Team Fortress 2. Team based hero FPS before Overwatch. I've heard the quality went down recently but I haven't checked.

  • Wolfenstein The New Order. Just a very angry dude killing nazi's what's there not to love.

What do you like about Slime Rancher? I tried to play it but I didn't really understand what I was doing. And then one of the slimes scared me (lol) so I haven't tried again

[–] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Exploration and slime optimization.

The exploration was more just looking around, and since the game is finished I can explore to my heart's content.

As for slime optimization, the farm has only so many plots of land. So mixing your slimes into mixed slimes lets you feed the slimes easier to feed and maintain.

The goal being a farm that doesn't create monsters from free roaming plorts while making the most money.

I'm in it for the exploration and without guides its a good time sink

[–] acetanilide@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That makes sense! Thanks for the explanation. I think I will give it another shot.

[–] batmaniam@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Prey (2017) is an awesome FPS/immersive Sim. As in, it plays like a shooter but how you take each engagement is highly up to you. You can go in guns blazing, there's usually some way to use the environment, go out of your way to get robot helpers, mind control one of the enemy, sneak past entirely. It's one of my all time faves because it has depth but draws you in like an fps. I love stuff like obra din but don't always have the energy to get lost in them.

And the plot is awesome. Not a ton of replay ability (imo, but I'm difficult there) but definitely a meaty amount of time. highly recommend headphones.

Haven't run it on the deck but a quick search shows people are really happy with it's performance there.

Monster Hunter World works surprisingly well.

[–] anakin78z@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I was going to get this, but then read that the new DRM made it unplayable on deck. Is that not true?

[–] NotPersonal@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I tried it (monster hunter rise) after the DRM update and it's working fine now.

Doom and Neon White are on sale right now. You also might want to check out games with the Boomer Shooter tag.

[–] Sidyctism@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

I recently played the demo for ultrakill (fast-paced, combo-based fps) and had a blast

[–] UnPassive@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

If there's any retro games you like, consider emulating!

Also, just wanted to say that I enjoy docking my deck to the TV and playing with a controller. Been playing Ark Survival Evolved with my brother all week

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I have been reconnecting with Left 4 Dead 2 and the master chief collection, as far as shooters go.
