sic_semper_tyrannis, do gaming w What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations?

Maybe No Man’s Sky. I’m not too sure what people think of it now a days but it had a massive turn around since launch

Stillhart,

Yes, NMS was overhyped and completely failed to meet expectations. But it was also complete garbage on release. 7/10? Not even close. It’s one of the only games I ever bought on physical disk that I returned because it was so bad when it wasn’t unplayable. That wasn’t a problem with expectations, that was a terrible fucking game.

fushuan,

Sure, but this post is not about 7/10 games on release, it’s about 7/10 games now vs their perception now.

Eh. NMS is unfair because it is literally a different game today then when it launched.

TwilightVulpine,

Sure but still today there are people who say it is too shallow and dull, and at that point I think they are just expecting it to be fundamentally different.

TwilightVulpine,

Absolutely

To be fair, originally it utterly failed to do most that they promised and I don't blame anyone who felt burned because of that and gave up on it,

But today, it does some of the craziest stuff that it promised that at the time sounded like pipe dreams. The planets are some crazy and different some of them seem downright surreal. I made a base on a planet with a landscape made of stained glass crystals. The animals are wild and weird. Getting to learn to communicate word by word with multiple different alien species is pretty cool. The dynamics of trading are pretty interesting. Raiding derelict freighters is creepy. And you can play all of it with your friends.

When people say it's shallow, I wonder if they didn't even try to bite into it or they are expecting custom story content in every planet. I have played it for hundreds of hours and I didn't even finish the main story quest. Each aspect of the game has a lot to offer.

Because of that I'm also really looking forward for their new game.

Having finished my first play through of Cyberpunk I’m now doing my second run with all sorts of cheats, just blowing chooms apart.

I think for best games of all time i think fallout new vegas. Its super well regarded amongst bethesda fans but i dont hear it listed as one of the greatest in general and i think i definitely deserves to be up there. The size of the world, the zaney humor, the amount of quests, weapons, amd your effect on the world. There’s just so much to this game

Toribash is quite possibly the best competitive fighting game I have ever played due to it’s unique method of controlling your actions. It’s almost entirely unheard of tho.

TwilightVulpine,

Toribash is an indie classic. It was mentioned fairly often among indie fans around the time of Cave Story's rise. But back then there weren't so many indie fans.

Drummyralf, do games w What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games)

Doesn’t completely fit your description of minigames, but I spent days playing Casino card games with Luigi in Super Mario 64 DS. And the Hide and Seek game was great too.

Those minigames are separate from the main game though.

I searched this thread for Gothic II and it was nowhere to be found. This brilliant masterpiece is even getting snubbed from lists of games getting snubbed. It really should be more known. This is a game that makes (no offense) OP’s Fable look like baby’s first RPG. Incredible world building, expert progression, meaningful choices, an entirely skill-based combat system that is basically a proto Dark Souls, so many clever touches everywhere. It’s so well designed, it’s one of few RPGs that credibly crosses into immersive sim territory - that’s how well its systems are connected.

Ziomster44,

Agreed, best RPG (perhaps best game) I ever played. So good I have to replay it at least once every few years.

Sina,

I think Gothic 1 is much better. :p (it would totally deserve a spot in this conversation, but it’s a very highly regarded game )

DdCno1,

I’m admittedly a bit biased, because I played Gothic II first, but I’m still curious as to why you prefer it over its sequel. In my opinion at least, the second game is a considerable step up.

The cooking minigame in Palia is the best cooking minigame I’ve ever played AND it’s multiplayer! It’s laid back, rewarding, and easy but not TOO easy.

I’ll check it out, I ended up never coming back after all the disconnects during the first few days, couldn’t even create my character.

Journey redefined how I look at video games and the world, and honestly changed the course of my life for the better.

TUNIC may truly be the best game of all time

Outer Wilds shares the top spot with TUNIC

Celeste is the best precision platformer, and easily in the top 5 games of all time, though I suppose it is, much like Outer Wilds, quite highly regarded game among people who know it exists

Citizen Sleeper is unparalleled, I can wholeheartedly say more people need to know about this gem

neosheo,
@neosheo@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Celeste is on my backlog and i just installed it on my laptop, i need to play it in 2024

apotheotic,

Heartily recommend playing it on controller if you can, and enjoy the ride!

Remember: You can do this!

neosheo,
@neosheo@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yeah i’m mostly a controller player so that works for me. Is it that hard? I’ve played stone hard games like dmc/dark souls but this seems very different

apotheotic,

It is an incredibly challenging game, but unlike dark souls it’s an incredibly challenging game that wants you to succeed. If you had the coordination for things like dmc or dark souls I have no doubt you’ll be able to play all the content celeste has, with some perseverance!

Sina,

You will die thousands of times, but until you reach your limit as a gamer it will never feel like banging your head against an unbreakable wall. Just moving around is so much fun in Celeste.

Sina,

Celeste is the best of all time in its genre. i have put more than 100 hours in it and yet i’m still shit, but it’s just so gratifying to complete a harder screen…

TwilightVulpine,

Tunic has such an unique vision and it executes it expertly. On the surface it's a zelda-like but it's so much more than that, and it's best experienced blind. In fact, that's the whole idea. The developer wanted to replicate the experience of being a kid picking up a game in a different language that you had to figure out little by little.

apotheotic,

Agreed! I don’t know if I will ever again experience as much enjoyment from a game as I did from tunic, but that’s okay, for having experienced tunic

Trog… I played that game for days

Zworf, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 14th

I started playing No Man’s Sky lately, in VR. I played it closer to it release in the past and it couldn’t captivate me, but now I’m kinda in a tumultuous period in my life and the simple gathering mechanics make for a calm passtime.

rozwud,

It’s so relaxing! Often I like to have an edible while I play that one.

Zworf,

What do you mean by an edible? Something to munch on?

rozwud,

Nah, the weed variety.

Zworf,

Ahh lol… I didn’t think of that. I can imagine that helps :)

I’d throw Crash Bandicoot showing up in Uncharted 4 into the mix, with an honorable mention for Nathan’s Nerf gun setup in his attic.

Maybe neither of those count, as they’re not complete in and of themselves? But I think they count in the spirit of the question asked.

I was pretty happy when I could play that in Uncharted 4. Uncharted is such a good series.

When it comes to arcade racers people seem to either forget or just don’t know about trackmania games. They aren’t perfect by any means but id certainly consider them among the best

DdCno1,

Trackmania Nations has to be the peak of the series. One aspect that amazes me is that it works equally well with every input method out there. I’ve played this with a keyboard, joystick, gamepad and even steering wheel (although admittedly one without force feedback).

Portal, Minecraft, Stardew Valley are just some you haven’t mentioned.

Seasoned_Greetings,

SDV hardly gets snubbed as one of the best games of all time. It’s constantly in the top sellers. I say this as a loving fan.
