I know a lot of people point to resale as a big advantage of physical media, but I really prefer just having a digital environment that encourages frequent sales and price reductions.
If you think about memorable singleplayer games for instance (AAA or indie), they’re really victimized by that mentality of “Well, I guess I’m done with this now”. Even shitty online games, or big open-world games with 80 hours of boring content, usually won’t be re-sold in that way; and each used sale will be a lost New sale for the developer. Never forget that You are the product of GameStop’s used games business.
Every time I ran into Nazeem I would pickpocket whatever he had on him and replace it with the most random off-putting shit I could find in my inventory. Game doesn’t actually do anything, but it’s very satisfying to walk past him eating his lunch after stashing a human skull in his pocket.
There's an old Infocom text adventure called Planetfall in which you have a comedy-relief sidekick in the form of a little robot named Floyd. Occasionally when you save the game Floyd will say "Oh boy, are we going to do something dangerous now?"
Help! I have a choice to make between Hades, Psychonauts 2, and Doom Eternal. What do you guys think? I’m more of a casual gamer but enjoy a bit of challenge (I liked doom 2016 a lot, but I was told eternal is harder).
Hades would be my choice if you’re looking to be challenged. Give it a few tries on normal difficulty, and if you’re getting your ass kicked it has a great casual friendly accessibility option to turn on a slowly scaling damage reduction that will eventually tune the game to your skill level. You can turn it off at any time, and there are no penalties for using it.
Psychonauts 2 is also a solid choice. Overall it was an excellent sequel and definitely worth playing, but if you’re looking for a challenge look elsewhere. It’s a casual platformer through and through. It’s still a great game in it’s own right, though IMO it doesn’t take as many risks as the original Psychonauts and didn’t quite hit the same emotional highs.
The wife got me bg3 for Christmas, I’m very much enjoying it on my deck. Working through path of exile acts again, currently middle of act 7, decided to take a break for some don’t starve together which the d&d group plays when someone doesn’t show up, with happened a lot this holiday season.
Finished up the God of War Valhalla DLC (which was awesome), and now I’m playing through Little Nightmares 2. Almost done with it. Short but really good!
