Steam Deck if it counts as a game console here

I would say it doesn’t because you are still running PC games. The reason I specified consoles specifically without homebrew and backwards compatibility is it kind of leaves you stuck in a certain generation that typically has a finite lifespan.

You could install Linux on a console and use it forever or rely on homebrew for extended life like the PS Vita otherwise.

I’ll play it in another five years when I can get the entire game.

boomer478,

Five? Lmao

This is still only the first disc. We have at least 15 more years before this is done.

ColeSloth,

I thought it was just supposed to be three releases. That get massively upped? I’ll probably never mess with playing it, then. I’ll just play the ps1 version rom with the graphics upscaled on my steam deck and call it good.

Ashtear,

It’s still a trilogy. In any case, Disc 2 of the original was much shorter than the first, and Disc 3 was almost entirely ending cinematics.

ColeSloth,

Oh good.

Also, yeah. I still have my PS1 copy. There was still a lot more game time than movie time on disc 3.

Seems like one to be wary of reviews for. At each publication, the person who enjoyed part 1 will be excitedly picking up this job, while anyone who disliked part 1 will be passing. I guess the main benefit is it matches the audience; if you didn’t like part 1, reviews won’t convince you this is worth it.

On balance, I like that they’re deviating from the original. I dislike that the main deviation is padding it into 3 games.

Would have to be either the switch for Mario Kart, Super Smash and Nintendo sports when family is visiting or PS3 for FIFA World Cup 2010 when the lads are visiting. I suspect the switch would age better, though 2010 World Cup is an absolute gem.

I don’t think the single player game selection matters that much as it would grow stale with time anyway.

As a heads up, don’t read the Gamespot review if you’re carefully avoiding spoilers. The review tries to discuss the ending without revealing too much but wasn’t entirely successful.

Gabriel Knight 3. I dont know if you have played it, but for me it is the king of adventures.

daniyeg,

played it for the infamous cat hair mustache puzzle lmao. i’ve never got to play the second one though the FMV never played nice.

leave_it_blank,

The second one is also a masterpiece! The only FMV game that actually doesn’t suck!

And for anyone who wants to play part 3 read the guide to get it to run smoothly on the gog forum. Believe me, you don’t want to play it without the guide.

I personally enjoy Brok the Investigator, if you don’t mind beat-em-up mixed in with your story. Has multiple endings, every single area has 3 hidden collectables that act as hints in case you get stuck, and is available on console (ps4/5, xbox one and series s/x, switch) if you don’t feel like playing on PC.

You play the first chapter as a detective alligator (Brok) who has a new case to solve. Starting chapter 2, you gain access to switch between him and his cat son (Graff). Depending on your actions, you get the different endings. To make things easier on getting different endings, you can load yourself in at specific chapters, too.

It’s really stretching the adventure game definition but if you are open to first person games without combat with great stories I would recommend :

  • “the outer wilds” : really nice puzzles, good story, wonderful setting, definitely not linear.
  • “SOMA” : a little dark, engaging story, this was an amazing experience.
Crystal_Shards64,

Did you mean The Outer Worlds or Outer Wilds?

Cairden,

He surely meant “Outer Wilds” based on his description. Fantastic and memorable game that will make you sad reminiscing your playthrough. Go in completely blind

Tolstoshev, do games w What adventure games do you recommend?

To the Moon has a great story that I still think about to this day. Not much game there, just a few easy puzzles sprinkled in the narrative. But worth it for the story and how it is told.

AceFuzzLord,

Definitely recommend that and the sequel Finding Paradise if you haven’t played them or seen a playthrough.

FilthyHookerSpit, do games w What adventure games do you recommend?

Immortals fenyx rising was a good adventure game. Good story, good writing, breathe of the wild knockoff gameplay. I really enjoyed the characters.

PraiseTheSoup,

Couldn’t make it more than a couple hours in this game. Everything was just so “generic open world Ubisoft game” and I found the dialog to be obnoxious.

MurrayL, do games w What adventure games do you recommend?

Basically the entire Wadjet Eye catalogue, and the first two games in the Broken Sword series (then stop - the 3D ones are crap)

lordnikon,

broken Sword 5 is good went back to 2D and 6 looks to be the same. but nothing is as good as the first two. the music was killer

Mbourgon,

Unavowed is so good. Different party members mean different ways to solve the same puzzles. Great narrative.

Despite the high scores across the board, it seems about as split as FF7 Remake. A lot of people love the game but aren’t a fan of how they changed the story, and here we see the same pattern.

neatchee,

As I said with the first one: I already have ff7. I don’t need ff7 again. If I want ff7 I’ll go play ff7. I’m incredibly happy they decided to spice things up and give it a twist. This has me even more excited for next week!

Wugger,

As I said in 2002: this story is awesome. But they have cubes for hands. We have the ps2 now. I hope I can play this game again someday without cubes for hands. This is not that game.

Still only cubes for hands.

neatchee,

Nope, it’s not that game. Nor, IMO, could they possibly make that game successful enough to justify the cost of the remake. There aren’t enough people like you to generate the sales numbers they are looking for. Could you make a reasonably successful product like that? Sure. Would it make the amount of money square-enix is interested in? I strongly doubt it. Because I wouldn’t buy that game and I enjoyed ff7. I don’t really care if they have cubes for hands. I’m not playing it for the graphics heh

@Chet_Awesomelad@kbin.social avatar

Wrong. FF7 was the second-best selling PSX game of all time, and is also the best-selling single-player Final Fantasy game. If you consider that remaking FF7 means getting the original fans PLUS introducing it to an entire generation of gamers who never played it on PSX then you would definitely expect it to sell.

If they didn't think a remake would sell then why did they literally call it "FF7 Remake" and not something else?

neatchee,

You’re missing my point. An exact remake, scene for scene, wouldn’t be successful. You don’t have to believe me 🤗

Wugger,

That’s just not true at all. Literally one of the most famous games ever made remade with modern graphics couldn’t be successful? When squenix announced a remake, and the internet exploded, that is exactly the game everyone expected it to be. Even at launch day we still thought the story would be mostly unchanged.

I’m not arguing in favor of keeping turn based combat.

How exactly would keeping the original story have made a remake less successful? New players would have played it either way, and I find it very hard to believe that the number of fans of the original who would have avoided the game due it being “the same game” outnumber the number of fans who were sold a remake and didn’t find out until half way through that this was a different game.

rambaroo,

If you’re willing to put some effort you can get the original on PC and mod it. It looks much better with mods. The mods are pretty easy to install and it won’t cost you $180 over however many years to get the full story

rambaroo,

… But it is FF7. It’s not a new game.

If you really didn’t want to play FF7 again you’d play literally any other game

neatchee,

And I like that it’s just different enough to leave me wondering if what comes next will be different than what I expected. I think that’s awesome. And I really like the changes they’ve made so far, in terms of how it will obviously impact the future

The first one was fun, but I was disappointed it ended early. Open world exploring is what makes it a Final Fantasy game. I didn’t mind the additional content and changes, but really wanted the whole game (especially for $60-70).

    I have another theory, and please don’t be offended if I’m wrong.

    Maybe it wasn’t a game at all.

    Could it have been The Bishop of Battle from the movie Nightmares? You might have Mandela-effected this game from memories of that movie and similar games you had played.

    lordfrito,

    you broke my brain

    Rhynoplaz,
