Been playing Diablo 2 Resurrected again, so… Diablo 2. Especially on higher difficulties some of those areas (Durance of Hate, f.ex) are extremely maze-like and the only reliable way to navigate it is to just follow the left wall no matter what.

Otherwise, I played a demo for a game years ago that I can’t remember the name of anymore that was built around non-Euclidian geometry, so walking through a door in one direction would take you to one place, but walking back in the other would take you somewhere else instead of back to where you came from and such.

Sounds like Antichamber

The original Final Fantasy. If you don’t have a walk-through open next to you I have no idea how you would naturally beat the game in a respectable time frame.

Peffse,

Everytime this game got ported, I’d retry it. I’d get over the bridge, get into town, fight the pirates, earn the boat… and get completely lost.

Mirshe,

I think I managed to get the Earth and Fire Crystals and couldn’t figure out how to get to where the Water Crystal was. All of THAT was from literal wandering.

I don’t even remember “where” I got, but I do remember I got to a point I had no clue how to progress. My party was around level 46, super powerful, but I just couldn’t find the right dungeon anymore

Currently playing through Rainworld for the first time, and “where the fuck do I go” has definitely crossed my mind more than a few times.

I will say I’ve mostly been enjoying just exploring, but it has been frustrating at times trying to figure out what to do or where to go when my little in-game helper suddenly decides to play coy at another crossroads.

Vampire Survivors

It might just be because I was actually early aboard the hype train for this one; but this one just scratched that “one more go” itch until 2am like nothing else.

Enter the Gungeon

Randomly came across this via a YouTube short, and the art-style just meshed with me. Absolutely love the messy bullet-hell quick-play genre in general… Hades being another great example of this.

Morrowind.

Can you find this person whom wandered off into the ashlands? They went east-ish.

I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit in the Construction Kit to find out where in Vivec’s name I had to go this time. Usually it turned out I just barely missed the person or location I had to go before starting an hourlong search.

But despite that still a game I deeply love.

The number of times I totally overshot distance based on the quest description and ended up in the Ashlands…

That’s what I like about the game. The NPCs tell you where to go to the best of their ability, and you follow to the best of yours. I like it a hell of a lot more than quest markers.

There is at least one occasion where NPCs just straight up lie to you in quest directions though. I can’t think of it off the top of my head but I remember it existing because I complained about it on a forum.

On one hand - great worldbuilding! “Local dumbass gives you bad directions” is a funny and memorable point on top of what might otherwise be a forgettable side quest. On the other hand, I spent the better part of four hours looking for whatever egg mine or ancestral tomb or whatever it was he asked me to find before getting fed up and having UESP tell me “lol no actually it’s off in this complete other direction”, and I’m pretty sure I assassinated that NPC after I turned in his quest.

Yeah I remember some fuckin guy said you can find the herb east of balmora. Que an hour long search and epic journey for the ages only to finally read a guide that says the guy lied

GoodLuckToFriends,

Jesus, the finding people thing was tough, but finding the quest item that I had already looted from a grave and either dropped or sold to a random merchant? Game ending, man.

@skulblaka@sh.itjust.works avatar

This was me lmao. On my first playthrough of Morrowind as a teenager I dicked around and did everything except the main quest for ages. Around level 18 I decided to actually progress the main quest. Hasphat, check. Arkngthand, no sweat. Talk to Sharn Gra-Muzgob, she says to fetch the Skull of Llevule Andrano. Cool, go to Andrano’s tomb, looks kind of familiar. Where is the Skull of Llevule Andrano? Cause it sure ain’t here in his tomb. Whoopsie.

Never found the skull, never progressed the quest, had to start a new character to actually experience the main story. I wonder how many potential Nerevarines failed to ascend due to missing minor quest items. Wish I could ask em that inside the Cavern of the Incarnate.

GoodLuckToFriends,

Yes! That’s the one! That damnable skull!

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

So many failed nerevarines. If only they knew they were just an exploit INTENDED FEATURE away from saving Morrowind

Pyre is my all time favorite, it’s the only game i’ve ever platinumed and still kept playing to see a few more permutations. But by terms of sheer hours put in? Rimworld.

Reply wrong answers only here! xD

RvTV95XBeo,

Doom is the only right answer. That soft pink mist as the light catches the spray of blood from your vanquished enemies.

Chivera,

Manhunt is a classic girly game

GusTheBard,

That Dead or Alive beach game

It’s all about girls!

Drbreen,

Duke Nukem 3D…Because it has strippers and manly muscles on the front cover.

bitwolf, do games w What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?

I remember there being a few points like that in Megaman Legends 1 and 2.

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Legends 1 certainly had more “exploration”, as there was nothing to point you to where you should go. Legends 2 has neat red arrows on the overworld map, so you have a decent idea of where to fuck around, though the dungeons got much more elaborate. Fuck the Nino Ruins

mesamunefire, do games w What is your favorite indie game?

It's probably between stardew valley, rivals of aether, or cheaper world.

There's also a number that are almost perfect like wargroove, peglin, and kingdom rush.

whostosay,

Rivals was such a fun/approachable platform fighter. Still is

    Same but with spelunky 2

    In my thirst for difficult games, I 100%'d it. Took more than a 100 hours but still the most fun I’ve had mastering a game to that level of expertise

    Nalivai,

    The whole defenestration trilogy is amazing

    @viking@infosec.pub avatar

    Yep, agree. Heat Signature was also fun, but getting rather repetitive.

    Nalivai, do games w What is your favorite indie game?

    Judging by the playtime, Rimworld. It is such an important part of my life at this point, it’s not even funny. I’ve played thousands of hours, and don’t regret it

    Delta_V, do games w What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?

    DOOM

    Fuck your Blue Key.

    TriflingToad,

    still need to get around to beating doom 2. It just got so repetitive I had to take a break

    Baggie,

    Don’t feel too bad about it, the best bits are the first half or so I’d argue.

    finitebanjo,

    There is a really fun Doom mod called “my house” that seems totally absolutely normal artsy house recreation at first…

    Until you discover the mirror universe and the downstairs (at the time this mod released multiple overlapping layers of level geometry was not technically possible).

    sprite0, do games w What is your favorite indie game?

    I’ll put Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead up there with FTL and Dwarf Fortress.

    Halo ce?

    neon_nova,

    I got lost a few times in that game as a kid. I do not htink it is too bad these days. I think it was a matter of being put in a significantly larger world from what we were used to.

    I’ve played it so many times at this point, I think I could navigate it without enemies or needing to click on consoles it with my eyes closed.
