I would also say that most of the walking simulators that where mentioned here:
My mentions would be The Last of Us, Spec Ops: The Line and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Also The Stanley Parable depending on what you consider "completing" that game.
Well I played it, once, 12 years ago when the graphics were good. I don’t remember them being mind blowing, but I don’t remember them being bad either.
I dont think it really had an “are we the baddies” story, it was a very graphic anti war game for me.
It is one of the better executed anti-war message in games. Nothing I’ve played has come as close to its level of execution. I remember thinking, at the time, that the competitive multi-player really undercut the message of the single player campaign.
It is one of the better executed anti-war message in games.
I felt it was ham fisted. You don’t even get a choice in the most impactful scene of the game, you’re railroaded the whole time. Only choice I can remember was at the bridge and the game returns to normal after 5 seconds.
The graphics are were not good even for the time; contemporary reviews point this out. It looks like a 2007 game but was released in 2012. The guns aren’t good and the cover system is clunky.
I dunno, maybe it was hyped too much for me. I found it forgettable and not worth the 5 hours it took to beat.
Unless you consider Ace Combat an FPS, the 3DS doesn’t really have any of them that I know of. You’d be better off playing the old DS ones. If you count Homebrew, your options expand a lot. Doom and Quake play wonderfully on the New3DS with the C nub.
As far as my favorite games on it: wow, there are so many. Shin Megami Tensei IV (and Apocalypse), Fire Emblem Birthright, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pokémon, Monster Hunter 4U. The list goes on.
Metroid Prime: Federation Force.
Moon.
Dementium: The Ward.
Potentially Battlefield 3, though I was finding a lot of conflicting posts/articles. So like 3 FPS games, maybe 4, but again, couldn’t find a CIA/ROM and only saw loads of conflicting info about BF3 on 3ds.
Nice. I forgot about Federation Force (mostly I just remember the controversy with it not being what fans expected or something), but I have never heard of either of the others. I will have to look into them.
The 3DS has such a wide range of genres (although it is heavily biased toward RPGs and Platformers) that I’m not surprised there are more than one FPS for it. Wasn’t there one called Ironfall? Or was that one was 3rd person?
Looking at some screenshots, that may have been Dementium Remastered as mentioned above by SturgiesYrFase. I’m not sure if it got a demo, and I hadn’t heard of it until about an hour ago, but it’s a guess.
Terraria. It has RPG elements and is simply fantastic. Often available at a discount on Steam which I only recommend due to the extensive content available via the Workshop.
Thanks for the share. Just checked out the demo for half an hour. Really nice game, already seems super polished.
I really like the helpful control tips, it does an amazing job of teaching you the controls. Every time I was wondering what the key was, bam there it was on screen.
Looking forward to the full release, I’ll definitely play the demo more when I have time
I got a used Herman Miller Sayl for $175. It’s not the best chair in the world, but it’s pretty good. There may be used office furniture stores in your area. I’d start there.
I second the used office chair store option. I got mine there for like $300, and while it was a color I wouldnt usually go for (lime green), it solved my back pain virtually overnight. Have had it like 3 years now, it’s great and will probably last forever
I have a Secretlab chair that I like. Which model is right for you depends on your size. I paid about $500 for mine. They often have $100 off coupons.
I often see some pretty comfortable chairs at Costco for < $300, if you live near one. The savings on the chair alone would more than cover the cost of a 1 year membership.
Seconding the Secretlab chair. For someone who works from home and would play PC games at the exact same desk when work ended, it made sense to invest in a chair beyond my $30 IKEA one and has held up pretty well over the last several years.
The other benefit with Costco is that they have an extremely generous return policy.
Some obvious stuff has different rules (electronics is 90 days, stuff like tires that have clear expected lifespans have their own rules), but it is extremely liberal. And my experience is that I pretty rarely have to use it, because while not everything is a premium product for a bargain price, they tend to ensure that the suppliers for products they sell have reasonable build quality and make stuff that isn't trash designed to fail.
There’s also like a premium version that costs even more and comes with some extra stuff. Dlc got dlc now.
Fromsoft are obviously squeezing every penny they can whilst they are able to. I’ll likely just wait and get a more reasonably priced version. 2024 is stacked with amazing looking games.
“The Premium Bundle includes the following content: • ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree expansion • ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree Digital Artbook & Original Soundtrack”
Now I don’t know about you, but I’m sure I can live with the artbook and soundtrack being put behind a £5 price tag.
I’d rather have the art book and soundtrack separate instead of being included with other items/bonuses in a deluxe edition. I never use the sound track or the art book so I don’t think they’re worth adding up for an extra tenner.
and a gesture, no i don’t think it’s worth buying either or anything i care about either. i’m just trying to point out that they are trying to squeeze everything out of it
Townscaper - this is my go-to for just kind of chilling out. Just plonking down buildings and seeing what configurations they make is just so relaxing. There’s no points, no goals, no competition, not even any citizens with needs that must be fulfilled. You just build nice cities.
Slime Rancher - the slimes are cute, and just so happy to be alive. There’s something about a bright pink slime bouncing past, with a massive smile on its face as it cries “wheeeee!” that reminds me there are indeed reasons to live.
Maneater - this is a different kind of happy. A cathartic, violent, murderous happiness, as I pop inflatable unicorns, sink yachts, and launch myself at unsuspecting golfers.
The PS2 spawned a lot of games that later generations emulated. Lots of stuff after that basically consisted of sequels, spin offs and games trying to recreate the feel of that era.
