Played far too much of Prey before realizing you can boost in zero G. I was wondering why people praised those sections so much when they were agonizingly slow.

SmallAlmond, do piracy w VPN for Torrenting

I’m deeply sorry, but I had to mention i2p torrenting, it might become more popular soon.

Sidenote: I2P torrenting doesn’t require a vpn or port forwarding, and is indeed more private.

I am pretty sure in Witcher 3 I missed like half of the combat features - flasks, signs, rolling lol.

I beat the original dark souls without realizing there were different weight thresholds for rolling. I fat rolled the entire game. Also didn’t realize boosting vigor was important for hp. I did 99% strength/stamina and only as much dex as required to weild my weapons.

sanosuke001,

Didn’t realize holding dodge would make me sprint in Elden Ring for like ten hours! oof

What video games do you think had a good story then?

Anabriated,

I can’t think of a story focused game that fits any of these points… has OP played many story driven games before?

Saving this post because it’s right up my alley so now I have many new games to check out. Project Zomboid is still going strong for us, but here are some others that our group has enjoyed:

Heave Ho: super crude 2D graphics, but absolutely hilarious gameplay

The Ascent: beautiful cyberpunk-themed isometric shooter

Broforce: very entertaining pixel-art 2D platformer/shooter - we played this through to the end, which is rare for us

Overcooked: very entertaining 3D game, not sure what I would even call the genre - a “work” game?

Unrailed: similar to uncooked, but a different kind of “work”

SWAT 4: old 3D FPS, but still good

I didn’t realize metal gear rising had a block/parry mechanic. The tutorial talks about countering enemy blows with your own barrage of attacks so I figured I just had to stagger them and steal health regularly. Monsoon is the first fight with no minions to heal off of, so I got stuck and finally checked online.

Not a game but some of the stories here remind me of the time I discovered I could draw stuff on the screen with Omicron Basic on my Atari ST and I painstakingly entered every square by hand dozens of times to make squares move across the screen…until days later I discovered the magic of the for loop. I must have been maybe 10 or so at the time.

IcyRain, do gaming w What is your favorite pre-EA Star Wars game?

Kotor, but mostly the second one. With the restored content it’s so much better than anything else that it feels unfair.

Starwars: The old Republic.

Totally free for eight excellent epic stories with no pay wall to overcome or excessive difficulties without subscriber benefits.

Subscription unlocks more content.

Microtransactions are for cosmetic only, and there’s plenty of cosmetic options without them too.

liminis,

Keep meaning to check these out before it dies (how healthy is it? / how long do I have?).

essellburns,

The game was just reassigned to a new studio for maintainance, it’ll be around for a few years yet.

As an 8 year old without much of a guide at all, I was a very proud Magician on MapleStory… one who dealt violence with her trusty magic wands and staves… physically.

I didn’t understand what skills and hotkeys were until several years down the line when reading comprehension and life experience improved.

I started playing Pokémon Red before I even knew how to read. I had no idea how to save and just assumed I would find a save point eventually like a bunch of other games. I have no idea how many times I dejectedly had to turn off the GameBoy halfway through Mt. Moon. I was convinced the save spot had to be on the other side.

Tobiasisahawk,

When I first played I didn’t know what Pokemon centers were. Everytime I needed to heal I ran all the way back to Mom’s house in palette town

This is fairly recent, but I was playing through a good chunk of Zelda TotK after the training area without the glider. I thought going towards the castle was supposed to be towards the end, so I wound up crawling up the great plateau to the old temple of time hoping to find it.

I was trying to play without spoilers, but luckily a friend set me in the right direction

Sounds like a summer blockbuster to me. :p
