Let me get the good gameplay/good story games. Graphics are nice but they’re just the icing on the cake.

I want to hear some recommendations too !

Dragonborn3810,

Me and my friend recently finished aragami 2, we both really like the gameplay but thought the story was only alright but if you like sneaky type games you might like it

A game that has no story but excellent gameplay has zero interest for me.

So… not a Tetris fan, are you?

HelixDab2,

Nope. Boring as shit.

I just finished playing this game on PC. I didn’t know you could get Ship of Harkinian to run on a Steam Deck! I would’ve liked that so much more than using a mouse and keyboard!

last i checked you’d have to give up mods on Steam Deck, which sucks, but a small price to pay for definitely one of my favorite ways to play SoH because of the portability

It takes time, effort and manpower to get good gameplay right.

Ephera,

I mean, plenty indies dish out excellent gameplay. So, I rather feel like it conflicts with good graphics.
In particular, and this is an old-man-yells-at-cloud take, I do not feel like 3D graphics do us many favors for gameplay.

3D usually just means less overview what’s happening around you and more directions in which you can miss jumps/targets.
Game worlds suddenly need to look realistic, with sprawling (empty) mountains, cities and whatnot, rather than just screen-after-screen of compressed gameplay levels.
And of course, it’s also much more challenging for gamedevs to prototype in 3D, when prototyping is essential for good gameplay.

positiveWHAT,

Yup, Phasmophobia for instance is good. A bigger company could make more elaborate ghost stories, but would more likely go for micro transactions in cosmetics/items.

This is my favorite game like ever. Top ten at least. I love seeing that this is your comfort food of gaming 🥰

this is the first game that left me wanting more after i beat it. I beat the master quest again after, and now every year i play through it again

Enjoy this round through my friend, and don’t forget your Kokiri Forest roots and the Deku Wisdom.

Some games don’t even need a story. Apex and League of Legends for instance.

RedAggroBest,

I feel that’s almost unfair to LoL. Shitshow of a game it may be, the lore is actually pretty fantastic. It’s also got nothing to do with the game itself which is why I’m waiting on that MMO.

positiveWHAT,

An MMO seems a much better fit for the lore indeed!

dwindling7373,

No, a thousand times no. MMO are static loopy deathtraps. Nothing can ever change or evolve, everything is dead and storytelling is bland and impossible to focus on.

But ot be fair I hate them with a passion…

positiveWHAT,

That is also true, and why I don’t play MMOs.

The dcss philosophy

Some games have a better story and visuals that movies these days… Watching playthroughs is at times more interesting than watching series.

DJDarren,

I watched a 4K play through of Hellblade 2 a couple of months back. Played and loved the original after my wife played it and loved it. She played the second one and said that while the story was good and it’s very pretty, it was kinda dull to play.

So yeah, I watched someone else playing it, and yeah, the story and visuals were great.

I think it‘s amazing that we can be like „ok but is this scary or buggy?“ lol

why not both?

This bug has been around for a while. It’s apparently reliably repeatable if you know how to manipulate it, but I haven’t looked into it too much myself. For context, I’ve been playing Phas on and off since 2020.

I’ve heard some devs say that graphics are more related to marketing than gameplay. Games with good graphics get more clicks.

Realized pre orders were a scam in 99 when I pre-ordered ff8 from Toys r us and when I went to pick it up they told me they don’t have any copies left

Karyoplasma,

My Diablo 3 was your FF8. Also D3 sucked ass.

PP_BOY_, do gaming w Just one more time

I pre-ordered one (1) game ever and that was Watch_Dogs in 2013 for the PS3. Was enough to teach me to never do that again

Lightor,

Aww poor watch dogs, I saw your potential.

What I was originally sold on made sense: physical games sometimes have shortages and if you want to avoid that you can pay up front to reserve a copy. I pre ordered Skyrim and it shipped to me almost a week after all my friends got theirs who didn’t preorder. The physical copy of Skyrim was meaningless since it was tied to steam anyway. That was my first and last experience with preordering
