DotE is a tower defense roguelike with pixel graphics and a team of heroes you manage. It also has one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard.
Castlevania needs no description. It’s just one of the best games ever made.
Neverwinter Nights has stood the test of time for me because it has persistent game worlds, built by other players (basically mini, homemade MMO’s), that you can log in and play. I also use its DM client to run online adventures for other players myself.
Of course. The more the merrier. The only thing to be aware of is that it’s largely a good/neutral party, so if you’re playing evil you’ll have to do it well and be a little incognito.
Was definitely worth it. My biggest problem with it isn’t even Wabbajack.
The modding community send to have settled on making Skyrim hardcore these days. While I fine games that are meant for that fun, it’s not why I want to play Skyrim. So those mod packs end up ruining the game for me.
They look a lot like regular dark souls to me. The combat looks good but I think part of what I think of when I say flashy is abilities other than just hitting things with a weapon, movement abilities, magic that isn’t just standing back and pelting something, dodges that teleport you behind the enemy etc
I mean, nioh 2 has a whole tree of magic abilities and a whole tree of ninja abilities. All the weapon types have abilities you can unlock that force enemy movement, parry, make you move etc.
It’s about as far into character action that a souls like game can get before it becomes something else. It kinda already feels like something else with all the mechanics and numbers and stuff pushed out in your face.
Are you looking for something more like bayonetta or god hand?
Definitely Bioshock Infinite. It was the first Bioshock game I ever played and the story just wow’ed me, it quickly became one of my favs.
Now I just treat the whole game like a huge movie event, playing the game with my friends as we experience the story. It’s just something that i would introduce anyone to, even if they din’t play that many video games cuz compared to Bioshock 1 the action is a lot faster.
(Btw Bio1 is better in almost everything, love that game as well)
Do you have arguments to make against the people who hate Infinite’s story? I’m undecided, I’ve heard their opinions and I’d like to hear an opposing one
I actually enjoyed the story. Some of the themes and motifs were heavy handed, but that’s par for the course. Honestly, the biggest issue with the story is that players have come to expect a big plot twist. Bioshock 1’s twist hit first-time players hard, so later games have tried to replicate that. But the issue is that it only hit players hard because they never knew it was coming. They only remember it because it was truly shocking the first time you played through it.
So now players have come to expect that from the series, which means the series can’t replicate it; When players are looking for a big plot twist, you can’t really hide it anymore. Because as soon as you start foreshadowing it, players catch on. And if you’re too subtle with your signals, then players who have been looking for it will say that doesn’t make any sense.
Most of the story criticism I've heard fall into a handful of categories:
Overall plot seeming convoluted and hard to follow (which is understandable when you throw both time travel and parallel universes into the same story)
Whitewashed portrayal of racism used for story aesthetics
Ending feeling confusing and/or unsatisfying
Certain story moments feeling out of place and/or undermining things that other story moments set up
I haven't seen much in the way of players expecting/predicting plot twists.
I haven’t read many arguments made by people who hated Infinite’s story but I loved it because it does one thing really well: making shit up as you go. Which is why it works so well when I let my friends play it as movie. There are very few ways to not have fun when beautifully interesting things like, “He doesn’t row”, lighthouse rocket chair, the bird or the cage, Quantum Entanglement, a star wars reference keep surfacing up adding to an ever increasing thread of inquires and intrigues.
No matter what arguments someone may have against the story, it’s hard to deny that it oozes fantastical details, mystery and lore.
There’s a childlike wow-ness to the game because it doesn’t pursue multiverse in the way we are so used to: on the nose. It lets the visuals of infinite lighthouses speak for itself.
Satisfactory, I’m hoping to get employee of the planet cup before 1.0 comes out.
Angband. I don’t stick with it long, but I always come back, even though I’ve never killed Morgoth or the Balrog in Moria before that. Still, I enjoy it for a while and then move on again.
I have an Obsidian Kanban Board with the games that I’m currently playing, games that I dropped, games that I’ve to play, that I completed and games that I’m not planning to stop soon
Man I WANT to love Horizon. It seems exactly like my type of game. But everytime I play it everything feels… insincere? Idk something about it doesnt hit. Still paid for it day one when it came to PC though to support the cross platform Sony initiative.
For what it’s worth, I wasn’t a huge fan of the story at first. It took me a few hours and a few quests to actually get into it. It suffers from Kingdom Hearts 2/The Witcher 3 Syndrome: The two hour long intro/tutorial is absolutely the worst part, which is a shame. The game really begins to shine once you get to Meridian, but that’s several hours in.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. The tutorial sections did absolutely put me off the first time, but I saw flashes of brilliance after I got over that hump. Definitely gonna give it another go after the Helldivers rush wears off.
My problem is that i can’t seem to get a hang of the combat, at all. Taking down even some medium sized dinobots feels like a slog, 20 minutes of me breaking line of sight, taking a pot shot at its weak point, and somehow missing, rinse and repeat. I feel the game either didn’t do a good job teaching me how to deal with them, or I’m just playing it wrong and don’t know better.
I’ve started the game three times and each time I get about 6 hours in before I get bored.
