I had a fun experience with this but it was due to a bug. The ONE time that I succeeded in forcing myself to play a bad guy in an RPG was Dragon Jade Empire for the XBox. I made it through the entire game, feeling terrible about being a dick to everyone and then, due to a bug (before consoles got patches), I couldn’t beat the game on the Evil path. It would crash every time. So, I chose the good option in the last conversation and was able to beat it but got the good ending.
It was really annoying to put that emotional effort in and have it count for nothing. So, I just accept now that I’m going to pay a good character and either watch ending videos online or not at all.
This was me when I accidentally killed a Whimsun early in Undertale and didn’t bother resetting because I thought I could still get a pacifist ending as long as my LV hadn’t gone up. Though at the end of the day I guess it was fine since I got to test all the mean and flirty options that I hadn’t picked before.
Sadly no, too many damn lists, “top 10 details in gaming”, and other such things like that to avoid the spoilers lol. But, i sat back and enjoyed the game as not only a “game” but a little piece of gaming history and DAMN, MGS is very ahead of it’s time in style, meta references, and presentation. I couldn’t stop a big dumb grin spreading on my face when
spoilerthe screen blacked out with a green “Hideo” in the corner in Mantis’s fight.
(Mantis fight spoilers) I even loved the little deathtraps in the game, trap doors in the floor, bullshit little gun turrets hidden around corners… but my dumb ass likes Fatal Labyrinth on the Genesis, so do with that as you will XD
spoilerThere’s a setting in the Master Collection’s options menu that let you mess with controller settings, and one of those settings is connect as P2
Also iirc there was a vault in fallout 1 where the experiment was making super mutants (I haven’t played it I just watch YouTube lore videos), or at least using FEV to experiment on people.
Went into CEX the other week, and saw PS1 games I’d bought when I was already an adult with a job, being sold second hand for more than I’d originally bought them for.
I’m in my 40’s. The dad of one of my childhood friends is in his 60’s. He (the dad) grew up playing arcade games. He’s not just still playing them, that man and his boomer disposable income has had like every console that’s ever been made. He passes previous Gen consoles on to families in his community that he knows have little income when the next Gen comes out.
He’s not just still playing games, he’s promoting them for the people least likely to be able to play
I’ve been a gamer since the 70s. Started with pong, Atari 2600, Atari 800 with basic… Compute magazine where games weren’t included on media, it was 5 pages of code you had to type in to play the game …
I keep telling young people the reason you have these awesome titles today is because of my generation playing fucking pac man.
They decanonized FNV by having BoS nuke the dam at the First Battle of Hoover Dam. Cannot recommend; I refuse to recognize this timeline. Even FO4 recognizes some vestiges of FNV.
It’s just so goddamn silly how Bethesda just cannot understand Fallout, and it’s doubly cursed to see the terrible goofy grimdark mess of East Coast Fallout with West Coast factions.
This was Star Trek The Next Generation for me during the pandemic. Everything was so bleak, and a familiar and hopeful future brought me back from the edge of depression.
