Unpopular opinion but Wheatley from Portal 2 can go breathe vacuum.
Not a fan of Steven Merchant and felt his voice acting was of placeholder-quality. Made the game considerably less enjoyable to play through with him desperately trying to be funny.
I should look for a mod, because even Gilbert Gottfried would be less irritating.
I found out a few days ago in Tekken 8 that you don’t need to hold back to block. You can just stand there and auto block mids and highs and crouch to block lows. It took me eight Tekkens to realize this if it was like this from the start.
Any game I’ve played so much I can do it mindlessly is one I’ll use to destress generally. Specifically something like Wazhack or another roguelike where if I die oh well, back into it! Maybe something with no fail state like Heaven’s Vault instead.
It’s the only MMO I still play regularly after three years. That said, I hesitate to outright recommend it. It’s fairly niche, and kinda still recovering from a disastrous DLC launch a couple years ago. It’s in a pretty good place now but confidence in the playerbase is still a little shaken. Mechanics-wise there’s a lot built up over the years that just aren’t explained at all in-game, so the learning curve is more of a sheer cliff face. OTOH, the community is honestly one of the most supportive I’ve ever experienced; even the griefers will chat with you after blowing you up and explain how to avoid it next time. And having the entire physically modelled milky way to explore is honestly an amazing experience. I’d suggest checking out a few streams to suss out if it’s for you, streamers are generally lovely and happy to chat with and help out new and prospective players.
That’s one of the things that’s not explained, related to the DLC launch. There are a few different versions of the game. The console version is considered legacy and is functionally “disconnected” from the live version. It no longer receives updates outside of the occasional security or stability patch. Only PC is receiving new content. If you can get it for free it’s a good way to test out the general gameplay, but most of the community is on PC these days.
When I try to play games on my pc i get terrible screen tearing and then a hellgate opens and the doomslayer has to come quell the uprising of demons so I am unfortunately confined to the dystopian hellscape that is modern console gaming until I magically become not poor
There are few things more zen than sitting in your ship, thrusters off, in an undiscovered system on the other side of the galaxy. It’s humbling, isolating, and beautifully zen.
In the same cathartic relief idea i also remember finishing both god of wars on ps2 as a kid. Worked great as anger management too. I feel like doom as a very similar energy in that regards.
I had a Fisher Price pirates point and click adventure when I was… 6? I adored it so that I guess. Also there was a Muppets Treasure Island point and click adventure from back in the day. I’m sure that counts and is what you’re looking for.
You have very strong opinions for a game you clearly have never played. If you boldly claim a game is "trash", but haven't actually played a minute of it yourself, then your opinion is invalid, and should be ridiculed and dismissed.
That said, if you're actually looking for a real answer and not just shouting "look at me and my superior, sophisticated taste in video games," it may come as a shock to learn that the answer isn't as profound as you may think: Different people like different things.
I don’t have to play any mobile F2P gacha games, in order to know that they’re trash. That whole category of “games” is morally and ethically unacceptable.
Individuals can like whatever they want, but that doesn’t change the moral and ethical implications. It is never okay to associate with gacha games, on any level.
I’m prejudiced against gacha games in the same way that I’m prejudiced against slavery, murder, kidnapping, rape, etc. These are all things that are unethical and immoral. We SHOULD be prejudiced against things that are unethical and immoral. That’s how being a good person works.
I don’t have to play any mobile F2P gacha games, in order to know that they’re trash.
You do, actually. That's kinda the entire point of what I just said.
It is never okay to associate with gacha games, on any level.
Another strange confusion between "opinion" and "fact". Maybe you don't like gacha games; that's fine, but other people love them, and some of them probably think whatever indie arthouse gamejam game or whatever you find superior is actually trash.
People can spend their time and money however they want to. The fact that it seems to bother you is something that perhaps you may want to reflect upon, maybe isolate whatever insecurity you have that's causing this sort of disproportional reaction from you.
What other blatantly unethical shit are you into? Slavery? Dumping radioactive and chemical waste into nature preserves? Do you have to see all examples of that shit on a case-by-case basis, to see if you’re cool with it?
You've yet to articulate what's unethical. You can't just say "it's bad because I say so" and expect anybody to be onboard. Use your words and show us that you actually understand the things you're talking about. Because so far, it really seems more like you're just trying to show off how enlightened you are for not liking a popular thing, and less like something you actually fully comprehend or actually care about in the first place.
I mean, are you fucking serious? I had to spell that shit out for you, word for fucking word? I can’t even figure out the degree to which you’re fucking gaslighting me. Which is the point, I suppose. Congratulations.
So, you may have known this if you played the game or perhaps even spent two minutes researching the thing you're pretending to be an expert on, but you don't have to spend money on the game. Like, at all. And other people spending money on the game doesn't impact you, as a player, because there is no multiplayer.
Anyway, thanks for the live demonstration of my point about informed opinions and such. This concludes the "ridicule" portion, now begins "dismiss".
other people spending money on the game doesn’t impact you
So you’re just confirming that you’re a psychopath/sociopath.
I care about other people, EVEN IF THEIR SUFFERING DOESN’T DIRECTLY AFFECT ME.
I realize this is a completely foreign concept to you, so I’ll try to explain it in very simple terms, one final time:
I am not going to support a game with a gambling-based structure, because I care about other humans. I refuse to support unethical developers who are exploiting gambling addicts. That’s completely separate from whether I’m going to spend money on the game myself, or whether I’m theoretically able to get everything I want from the game, without the gambling ever affecting me.
Again, I realize that your neurology isn’t correctly configured to experience empathy. You can’t be fixed.
So you’re just confirming that you’re a psychopath/sociopath.
I like how you had to use both terms because you don't actually know which one is accurate for the absolute fivehead accusations you're making. Another amazing conclusion from the World's Smartest Man.
FYI, psychopathy and sociopathy aren't remotely the same thing. Please, quit taking about things you don't understand, it's becoming a bad habit at this point. Literally nobody here is fooled by it and you're only embarrassing yourself.
Oh, so I’m supposed to know EXACTLY which kind of reptilian monster you are?
Doesn’t matter to me. You’re not a human. You’re an unfeeling beast, without the emotional capacity to care for other people. You’ve admitted that much, and that’s all I need to know. Everything else you’ve said makes total sense, now.
Your points would carry more weight if you weren’t so obnoxiously condescending. You write like a high schooler who is baselessly confident that they’re smarter than everyone they talk to because they read a few headlines.
Take it down a notch, buddy boy. Your hyperbole just makes you look like an idiot
No one you’re arguing with has been as wrong as comparing playing mobile games to supporting slavery. You’re definitely on the cartoonish end of being wrong
I see what you’re saying. It just gets to me, the fact that their starting point was basically “morals and ethics don’t exist. Everything is just personal preference.”
At that point, it’s like I’m compelled to give SOME KIND OF EXAMPLE of what a morally wrong thing might be.
Morals aren’t relevant when you’re talking about if a game is fun or not, though. And the game being fun (if it is - I’ve never even heard of it) is why people play. Your first post was a whole lot of high horsin that made your question seem rhetorical. Like you just wanted to rant and didn’t actually care that people find the game fun to play
So a guy registered on lemmynsfw, an instance whose users have been known to post exploitative pictures, is bitching about... gacha games. Oh wow. Wow.
Funny story, my partner sent me a gacha game and I have yet to spend a dime. I play for maybe 20 minutes a week. If someone is unable to control their spending on make-believe prizes, then they have underlying issues they need to work out.
Your assertion that gacha = slavery is about the most ridiculous thing I've read all day, and I had to open Twitter.
Citizen Sleeper - From the same publisher as The Pale Beyond, it’s another one of those story games that borders on visual novels. It’s a game about precarity and personhood set on an anarchic, decaying space station. Gorgeous art, fantastic soundtrack and it’s uniquely hopeful. Might be favourite game of the last few years.
Pick your favorite genre:
What The Golf? - A wild and hilarious mini golf game
Miasmata - A horror/cartography game… you heard me right! You have to use the intuitive in-game triangulation system to create your map and find your way around an island while being stalked by a creature as you search for a cure to your mysterious ailment
Rain World - 2D Metroidvania where you’re a little slugcat in a post-apocalyptic world filled with dangerous predators and lethal rainstorms
Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor - Life sim where you’re a janitor in a bustling Star Wars-esque spaceport living on the edge of poverty and dreaming of more
One Shot - Emotional story-driven game in a similar vein of Undertale
Night in the Woods - Not that hidden, but I absolutely love this one. Narrative life sim about someone returning from college to their Appalachian hometown and mysterious things are going on
Dreamfall Chapters - Adventure game that spans a sci-fi dystopia and fantasy world with many interconnections
Grow Home - 3D platformer where you’re a little robot growing giant beanstalks to return to your spaceship
There Came An Echo - Tactical strategy shooter you control only with your voice
