Saints Row (2022) had some of my flavour of silliness.

Doki Doki Litrure Club. Ending spoilers

TitleThere is a big twist about Monica calling you by your actual name. The name you gave when setting up your computer. That’s how I realised I made a typo in my name. So this big impactful moment fell flat on its face

Me loves litrure too.

In Borderlands 4, there’s a side quest to cure someone of being a psycho. You need to get a handful of macguffins and plug them into this elaborate machine. There’s a lot of whirring and build-up, and then the machine essentially zaps the psycho and makes him explode. “He’s cured!” It got me, lol.

Gris is an amazing game. Love the soundtrack too.

Cyberpunk 2077, you have to save two of the most incompetent cops that exist. For such a dark and depressing universe, whenever there are hints of humor those always get me.

Katana314, 3 godziny temu do gaming w Would you enjoy an edited movie over a story mode?

I guess I should have some stance on this. I played Nier Automata, and the combat was horrendous to me. I still think there must have been some core mechanic that was unclear to me, but even on brief review, I didn’t see anything.

I dropped the difficulty down to nothing so I could quickly force through all the story content and see “what’s so amazing about this game”. And the story did nothing. It had me burst out laughing in mockery at the times players were supposed to be crying.

That could just be a quirk of that game’s story in particular. I do think some scenes I’ve enjoyed out of long JRPGs were only notable because I’d invested time and effort in them, so I think a lot is lost if the player isn’t interacting with the premise at all. It’s why I’d prefer forms of difficulty adjustment, removing just one form of challenge, over total removal of the entire gameplay system. Unfortunately, I think a lot of action games handle that poorly, in a very lazy way that doesn’t appreciate what challenges players.

Personally I enjoyed Nier Automata’s story, but I think that’s mostly because I enjoy camp/anime trash. I can definitely see why it wouldn’t be appealing if you went in looking for a more well put together story. That said, I don’t really remember the gameplay well enough to have an opinion on it.

To the point about being more granular with the difficulty settings: I’d definitely like that if it were done well. There are some types of gameplay I really enjoy and some which I don’t and depending on how intrusive the parts I don’t like are, I either put up with it or it’s enough to make me abandon the game. For me, while I like games that make me think and make decisions like RPGs, card games, strategy games, etc, I get really overwhelmed by too much complexity. I like games which enable me to make deep decisions using relatively simple interactions. So there are almost certainly some games I’d play if I could flip a switch that hid/automated all of the stuff like making complicated character builds and just let me do the parts I like. The game that actually prompted this thread was Expedition 33. I really wanted to play it because of all the good reviews it got and I enjoyed the combat, story, setting, etc. But I just got exhausted by having to mess around with the character builds. I supose I could have just looked up some builds online and who knows? Maybe I’ll go back to it some day and do that, but it would have been nice if there were a difficulty option that just said “Choose my skills/passives.” That way I could still engage with the combat at a level that was challenging for me without getting overwhelmed by the build stuff.

Portal 2 is a classic and I enjoyed Tales from the Borderlands.

I can’t remember the last time a game made me intentionally laugh. I laughed my ass off about situations, bugs, but… scripted comedy?

Maybe a smile, a faint giggle, but actual laughter? I can’t remember.

That’s exactly why I was so surprised by Dispatch! It has stuff at the same level of Sam & Max: Hit the Road whose the next door shop from the office I will never forget: “Bosco’s Guns, Liquors, Baby Needs”

When playing Split Fiction. The poop/pig extra level where your power is to double jump by farting got the inner child in me.

It was last night, I was playing Windblown with a friend and we were on our fourth endless loop. Everything was melting, it got very silly. Watching a boss healthbar just drop instantly was hilarious.

Last week. Super Robot Wars Y has some really funny character interactions if you’re familiar with the source material.

spoilerKallen (Code Geass) and Allenby (G Gundam) both cheering for Mirage (Macross Delta) in their romance when all three are the “losers” is both hilarious and sad. Domon (G Gundam) turning into the mentor for Shinn (Gundam Seed Destiny) was already entertaining, but him getting a bunch more “disciples” over the game was great. Gauma (Dynazenon) turning every 5-person mecha team into rivals was also funny.

Just a few days ago, at a local Vampire Savior tournament. Grand Finals ended with me sniping Q-Bee's bubble super with a callout from B.B. Hood's gun super. Wish I had a clip, but it wasn't streamed or recorded.

Also had a few good laughs playing Skullgirls earlier that night at the same local, chaotic shit always happens in that game.
