Wet. The reviews were pretty harsh due to the length and number of loading screens, but the gameplay was extremely fun. It does end with a cinematic and quick time events which was a bit disappointing, but it’s one of the few games I’ve played through multiple times.

I knew I forgot something! Fantastic style and soundtrack, engaging gameplay and a bit rough in execution - it was great.

Counter Strike 2. It’s a toxic community, but I find it oddly addictive.

The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.

I’m in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it’s nice having gaming sessions where I don’t get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I’ll definitely come crawling back one day.

tiny_mouse,

Oof… sorry. I haven’t played it in so long that I think I was playing CS:GO. It does have a certain appeal.

I also live in a third world country so most games ping is very high. But CS is popular enough that there must be local servers. Because my ping is super low in CS. Another good reason I play it.

Oh, what could have been.

III was supposed to end the series, and I initially imagined it being where we play a lot more as Desmond in the present day.

It’s a shame they fired the creator after II, that’s also when the series went down the toilet.

Deadly Premonition. What a sloppy mess but damn it’s fun.

Just looked it up and looks right up my alley. Especially with the Twin Peaks vibe. Gonna look into this one. Thanks!

shame the sequel was so tedious and dull. Somehow they found a way to make the first one look like a masterpiece in comparison

Montagge,

A sloppy messterpiece! I love Deadly Premonition! Highly recommend if you want some fantastic nonsense!

Final Fantasy II - not Cecil's, but Firion's. If I could see people's faces in FF circles when I say that, I bet they'd be looking at me weird. e.e"

Grinding evasion by dual wielding shields and attacking yourself is peak game design.

Not being able to jump in a first person game.

Doc_Crankenstein,

Then coming across a knee high wall or something you can easily just walk over blocking progression but, nope, can’t jump and the game isn’t treating it like stairs.

It’s such a small thing but can completely take the wind out of your sails when playing.

Taco2112,

He’s only 27!? I’ve never paid that much attention to the details of these games so I just always assumed he was in his 40s.

Good job Gordon, pressing right click and all, I can see your M.I.T. education really pays off.

History of my preorders or full purchases:

Full price purchase:L4D+L4D2 Diablo 3 - Probably the only culprit here. But cmon, Blizzard was good at that time. It Takes Two Binding of Isaac Rebirth PUBG Psychonauts 2

Preorders:Portal 2

The rest is just acquiring good games for low price. Especially humble bundle (that specific one was extremely juicy IYKYK)

Another option is to just price it respectfully. I picked up Silksong on release. I have one day of play time because I’m not into the genre at the moment.

There are plenty of games I would purchase if they were priced low enough from genres I would not normally play just out of popularity and curiosity. I have a lot of them on the Steam backlog that I haven’t even touched just because they were on discount. Some devs do it for mansions, other devs do it for love. Both end up shorting themselves, and the ones probably winning out in terms of profit are the ones selling on a time discount curve somewhere along the middle.

squaresinger,

That’s what they are doing with the pricing: They start up way to high, to catch those who will pay that price. Once they reach the point where sales are stalling at that price point, they lower it, so that more price-sensitive players will buy. That cycle continues until they get a deal from Epic or Amazon to give the game away for free, because that way the publisher still gets more money than from pirates.

pyre,

Supergiant Games are worth a dozen run-of-the-mill “AAA” games but they’re always cheaper. They used to make relatively short games but Hades I & II are playable for hundreds of hours with new things still coming your way and they’re still cheaper and better.
