I don’t play MMOs anymore (nothing can satisfy me like City of Heroes used to), but just wanted to chime in to say I love your vintage anime character names.
I played for a while and enjoyed it, but eventually it became clear the developers were taking both the story and the gameplay in directions I didn’t like.
Heavensward was a great story, Stormblood patch quests were amazing. Shadowbringers had its very high peaks of course but even there they had started doing things in the story I hated.
It stopped being a story with unpredictability and actual stakes. There was a time I felt like anyone was at risk, even “main characters”, and it was awesome. It just turned into more of a Sunday morning cartoon - which is fine - it’s just not for me.
I also got sick and tired of them doing the “guess who’s back from the dead?” plotline a bazillion times.
I played the 3DS Remaster when I first played OoT. I loved it. I have it set up so I might. I’m not sure though because Majora’s Mask is a very situational game for me
My SO didn’t play games until his late 30s because be started working as a teen. I introduced him to BOTW and then Minecraft and Portal. Do you think SV would be a good next game?
It's been on my list, and I like cozy games… I just never got around to it. And I'm cheap, so unless I noticed it on super sale, I'd put it off until later™️
I remember when I legally pirated Oblivion back in 2006 or 7. I was trying to run it on a geforce 6800 in 1280*1024 and the poor thing just couldn’t take it. With everything off it fared better, sure, but the landscape was barren like a golf course. With everything maxed out I topped at 4 or 5fps, and it looked so good that I just pushed through it. I must have played hours at that framerate.
You could get monthly subscriptions for services like Geforce Now or Xbox Cloud Gaming. With a decent internet connection and a controller, pretty much any device that can display video becomes a gaming device. Obviously this may work out to be more expensive in the long run and these services have some weird terms of service so a decent research before subscribing is required but if you need to game for a month with minimal upfront investment they are pretty good.
