Honkai: Star Rail and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. Took me multiple chapters to get into Ys IX (very unusual for me, I love the series) but I’m finally starting to enjoy it.
Heh. I love Ys, and yet EVERY SINGLE TIME I am initially disappointed, and I have to stick with it, and it eventually gets insanely good.
Just how Ys games are I guess. With Ys X I went into it knowing this and really overlooked a lot and told myself to ignore my criticisms cause I’ve been through this rodeo like 6 times now. 50 hours in, yeah it’s awesome. The story especially.
I don’t hate Monstrum Nox like so many do. It’s refreshing they will always try wildly different things.
That’s me with Atelier. Usually I’m good to go right away with Ys right from the start, even with the ones I don’t like as much. Ys VIII was especially good as soon as the island landing.
EDIT: Jade Empire doesn't really fit, so I'll go with Observation instead. I'll still argue you're better off not knowing anything about KOTOR aside from being an RPG in the Star Wars universe.
Yeah, definitely. I've still managed to finish it some 20 times but going in blind the first time really contributed to me loving it so much.
I'd also argue you shouldn't look too much into the sequel. Not because of any "thing" in particular but because it's more fun to immerse yourself in the game and slowly begin to unveil all the major themes of its story.
The most I will tell you is that it’s an adventure game with some minor tower defense elements. And that it is the best game I’ve ever played, and no game has ever topped it since.
I’ve recently been eyeing the case for that game on the shelf and thinking about going back to it, but it’s been so long since I last played that I 100% would need to start over again. I had gotten prob 20+ hours so it’s a lot to lose. But I remember the story being pretty mindbending.
I don't think this one is even vaguely possible anymore, but "I Wanna Be The Guy" would be my suggestion for this question. That first encounter with the game is one of the most special moments in all of gaming.
Im old too. I played the first FarCry. It was amazing. That was a time that driving a vehicle in first person view, having moving shadows based off of light sources, being able to see far away, and being able to shoot out lights was ground breaking. (To be fair 007 GoldenEye had lights you could shoot too)
Now there aren’t any games that let you shoot or destroy light sources.
I highly recommend the first one, Far Cry 3 and its stand-alone expansion Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Also, the first Crysis game which is very similar to Far Cry.
I have played every Far Cry since the first. In my opinion FC5 is the worst. Boring setting. Far more mundane and repetitive than the others. The forced kidnappings were annoying. The ending was meh. I think FC6 was a refreshing change.
Personally Far Cry Blood Dragon is the best overall. The Vietnam DLC for FC5 is also excellent, even though short. FC4 is also great, and has a truly unique setting and was a lotnof fun with the gyro copter and Yeti. FC3 is good and fun, but it’s overrated.
FC2 I think is the best FC in a spiritual sense. For all its flaws, it truly set out to implement a unique concept the other FC’s have forgotten… that is you set out to accomplish something and everything will go wrong. You were supposed to be frustrated and overthink things. The setting was cool, the story was effed up, and the buddy system was kinda neat.
All Far Cry’s suffer from underdelivering on the story. So much potential with the villains, yet barely seen. People who brag about how cool Vaas is seem to forget you only see him like 3 times, he’s gone by like mid-game, and he wasn’t even the main villain.
I am shocked the lifespan EU4 has. I played hundreds of hours of it on my (melting) laptop in college a decade ago. I’d let it run a bit while studying in the library, and kind of make slow moves and changes between studying things.
