If you choose one of the three, note that:

  • Cyberpunk is still pretty flawed and has issues and you'll get less battery life though it's a lot better now than at launch and certainly playable
  • FFVII Remake is only half of the original FFVII, so you'll end on a cliff hanger and be waiting for the continuation
  • No Man's Sky started with tons of issues but is now really content filled and open and polished and at this point pretty well liked

Based on those, I would lean towards No Man's Sky since it has the least amount of concerns (in my opinion).

But if you just want a good story, NieR: Replicant and NieR: Automata are amazing and worth checking out (we have a Lemmy at !nier@lemm.ee) and I'd just really recommend it for the plot alone. Both are on sale and run pretty well, and Replicant is the first game while Automata is the sequel, and opinions heavily vary on which is better on story since they are both fantastic but Automata is more polished. They're also both standalone, so you can play in either order, though I'll always recommend Replicant first. They aren't perfect games but will nail the music and plot, as those are the things most highly praised about them. They're also very depressing!

Rain World isn't AAA but it certainly feels premium and I'd recommend it if you want a really beautiful and interesting open world, but be warned that it's incredibly hard. It's not a game for everybody but it's really amazing and I think it's worth mentioning because the world is huge. Great music there too!

It's unfortunately an issue with Lemmy itself. Instances have limitations in what they actually see and how they connect and that is one of them. See my recent post; similar issue and cause.

Funny enough, an artist called Fallout Boy did recently do a We Didn't Start The Fire parody to try and be more up to date on content.

That said, aside from being completely out of order, it's controversial for some of its... questionable lyrical choices, for lack of a better word.

That worked in trying to search for that community I couldn't find earlier and should solve it then if anybody asks me why they can't see it on their instance. Thank you for all the help!

Oh, interesting. That explains why I could not see some communities Lemmyverse shows that I want to see on this instance. Guess I should search for it and hope that community is indexed so I can also pariticipate there.

To clarify, all that has to be done is being logged in on the instance and searching the name? Or does it need to be specific (with the ! and @ in saying the community name)?

And yeah, a little bit niche! It's for a game franchise that is published by Square Enix though it's had more popularity in recent years.

Clearly the community name should be Dudunsparce.

[–] Louise@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I'm not too sure if it'd be a search issue considering I did try searching before I myself even made any accounts or communities.

It seems from testing and also trying an account on other instances that communities on Lemm.ee just doesn't appear for most other instances for some reason. Lemmy.world works fine, but lemmy.ml and others seem to struggle. Blahaj Zone is a good example in that this community is the only lemm.ee community I can find, and it only shows posts from over two weeks ago.

Honestly, I'm not sure if that means it's an issue with lemm.ee or other instances, but it certainly is a concern just because it limits heavily who can actually see the community.

Third party apps let you get the benefit of choosing exactly what works best for you and getting a setup you enjoy. Most of the focus by instance admins would be on ensuring everything doesn't implode and managing fees, but third party apps have a pure focus on usability and dedicate all their resources to making the best experience possible and then the end result is usually way nicer.

This message is being written on a third party app, funny enough! Memmy to be specific.

It unfortunately takes a long while to pick up. When it picks up, it really goes all in though, there's a reason it and the first game in the series (NieR Replicant) are praised as some of the best stories in video games ever made.

It just... really takes its time. I would say Replicant gets into the meat of everything sooner while Automata is a slow burn until it's time for the game to twist everything on its head. Completely fair if you don't like that kind of thing, but there is good reason for the praise.

Edit: Was using Memmy for this and it duplicate my comment twice, sorry!

Really good game! I actually run on Reddit two subs for the series (r/drakengard and r/okbuddyyorha) so it's really neat to see this recommendation here and it's pretty solid.

I would say though that this game is a standalone sequel to NieR Replicant (also amazing), and while you can play either in any order, I think the experience is better if played after Replicant. That said, both run pretty well on the Deck and both go on sale often!

Shameless plug, if you like the series, we also have an instance for the series at lemm.ee/c/nier. Anyways
