13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.

Do not go in knowing anything.

The most I will tell you is that it’s an adventure game with some minor tower defense elements. And that it is the best game I’ve ever played, and no game has ever topped it since.

durfenstein,

I’d add “you will think we are trolling you for the frist two hours, just truwt us!”

prole,

I’ve recently been eyeing the case for that game on the shelf and thinking about going back to it, but it’s been so long since I last played that I 100% would need to start over again. I had gotten prob 20+ hours so it’s a lot to lose. But I remember the story being pretty mindbending.

Rai,

No computer release boooooo

Half Life 2, I got a new laptop a couple of years ago and it was the first that could actually play it properly but I never got to it, then the big update came out and wow, so worth it, loving it.

TES IV Oblivion. Love it, so silly, I love thieving.

Autonauts vs Piratebots, such a fun and cute little programming game.

Top three are: The First Descendant, Elder Scrolls Online, and just started Lords Of The Fallen (which is pretty tough TBH).

TachyonTele,

I was very very hesitant on ESO. But it’s probably the best Elder Scrolls game we’ll get. Playing with friends is a blast, as well as wondering around doing random quests in each “country”.

Skua,

I tried it out because I love the setting and we've obviously been somewhat starved for anything else Elder Scrolls, but I just couldn't get into it. It felt like it never rewarded me for exploring like the main series does. There's never something cool to find that's just hidden out of the way.

I did also feel a bit miffed that the Northern Elsweyr story (the new one when I played, and the reason I wanted to play) was just the Skyrim civil war again, but without even the interesting idea of the rebel faction being nationalists against an empire. It was very little to do with anything about Elsweyr, and then dragons became the focal point again anyway

Obviously each to their own. I do see the appeal of it. It's just not for me

TachyonTele,

Very understandable and valid points of view on the game.

I’m actually a new’ish gamer. I did a little Final Fantasy 14 but didn’t get into it. I read about this a little and decided to give it a try (it helped it was on a massive sale on the PlayStation store). This will be the game I will probably be playing for a really long time.

The random quests and wandering around are the best parts IMO. It amazes me how much time I can waste walking around going "what’s behind that building (or rock, or hill, etc.).

Mostly Spyro (the PSX one) and both versions of Cyberpunk 2077. Alternatively Muse Dash if I don’t have much time (or will) to go for a longer session.

TachyonTele,

I respect the love of a PSX game, thumbs up.
What do you mean by both versions of 2077?

I really like checking out oldies in their original form, even if there’s a “better” remake/remaster available. It’s fun to see what those games had to offer in their prime.

As for Cyberpunk, I’m playing both the most up to date version (2.13 with Phantom Liberty + mods) and the legacy one (version 1.16).

There were a lot of gameplay and design changes in the 2.0 release. Since I played the game before that, I had a constant reaction of some things being… off. I wasn’t sure whether my mixed feelings had to do with nostalgia or if I really liked some of the old gameplay more, so I decided to reinstall the legacy version to confirm (thanks CDPR for keeping it available).

Long story short, while I do like some of the things they did with the game and genuinely believe it’s a better product overall, I’d be lying if I said I prefer the new version. I still have fun and all the technical improvements, free content and access to mods make for an easy choice but boy do I wish there was a way to port those to the legacy version. There are a few mods that restore some of the old design choices which gives me a sliver of hope for a potential larger restoration in the future. For now though, I’ll just keep enjoying what’s there.

TachyonTele,

Sounds like how I view No Mans Sky. Im one of the wierdos that really enjoyed how alone and wierd the game used to be.

Does NMS allow you to play the older patches at least? It really sucks whenever games change significantly without an ability to stick with what you like.

Rez and Fez. Similar names, very different games.

BmeBenji, do games w What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?

Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. This game is fairly old now (like maybe 15 years) and I’ve only played it once and it took like 4 hours of total playtime, but it remains among the most memorable games I’ve witnessed. I HIGHLY recommend it.

superkret, (edited )

I mean, why the fuck not? 😂

This is probably the cheapest thing I bought this month.
(and that includes the purchase of a single bell pepper)

BmeBenji,

Yay! Just, please don’t leave it untouched. Mild spoiler, but the game tells you how long you should play each session and the first is 30 minutes. So please give it a 30 minute chance to grab you

Some slightly more obscure ones:

  • Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
  • Planescape: Torment

Also surprised Metal Gear Solid hasn’t been mentioned yet.

adhocfungus,

Is it even possible to play MGS without spoilers these days? Maybe I’m online too much, but I feel like I’ve seen 50% of it through memes alone.

The quantity of things to spoil in that game, though. So much happens.

@VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

The Xenoblade games. Probably Xenogears and Xenosaga, too, but I haven’t played those yet.

MajorasMaskForever,

Partially agree. The series as a whole fully agree, game by game is iffy

XC1 can absolutely stand alone and really needs you to go in blind

XCFC doesn’t make sense without having played XC1

XC2 again can stand alone but you’ll catch some story stuff sooner if you’d played XC1

XCTTGC makes no sense without XC2

XC3 is this bizzaro mess I’m still not sure what the fuck happened but I think it does need XC1 and 2 background knowledge

XCFR retains XC3 heavy reliance on the previous games, but cranked up to levels that makes the Star Wars sequels seem almost reasonable

Soleos, do games w Anyone else bounce around from game to game with no clue what to play?

Sometimes you’re just craving something specific or need something a bit smaller scale instead of a massive AAA. After finishing Cyberpunk 2077, I bounced around from God of War to Assassin’s Creed Origins to Spiderman, and on and on, all great titles but just stopped after a few hours… the game that finally grabbed me was an indie from a few years ago called Crying Suns.

If you want a small game with killer mechanics and that you won’t feel like you’re abandoning after a few hours, try Into The Breach

Crying Suns is really cool. Neat to see someone else who got hooked in the wild.

Also really enjoyed that one.

Try UFO 50, it’s got 50 games to bounce around between.

None, I told myself that I have to first play my last paid games at least once before I buy a new one.

derpgon,

If DLCs count, sunk about 100 hours into Factorio Space Age since it’s release .
