Same here. I get nauseous playing most first person games so I miss out on a lot. The only thing that sometimes helps is if the game lets you slow down the camera movement.
I’ve heard supposedly that sitting back further away from the monitor helps with motion sickness, so if you have some sort of TV screen that you could hook up the game to, that might work?
My issue was, I did not feel the expected experience of “Each loop, you learn something new.” It was more like, every 7 loops, I might get into the thing I was repeatedly trying to enter; and then it might just be a bunch of random ancient messages that don’t teach me anything. On top of that, I really hated the ship controls, especially when they veer AWAY from the autopilot path to pull me directly into the sun. If the game had been remade without any physics system, and simple direct puzzle mechanics, I might’ve enjoyed it more.
Yah I keep hearing fantastic things about the game, but I can’t connect with the “looping” mechanic and the weird ship/floating controls make it hard to want to keep doing the same planets or whatever again and again.
And I mean, I KEEP trying to get to a place where I’m like “Oh yah, here we go again, lets do this” like with other games and it’s just not happening. I can’t find the fun part. Maybe I’m too old.
I bought it and went in blind, just because I heard it’s a really chill game with a great atmosphere.
But then the twist happened, and now that I know, it gives me anxiety, so I can’t enjoy it anymore.
I simply can’t play games with a time limit.
Without that, it would be one of my favorites.
Even if you don’t mind the online only part, ignore this abomination. They botched the D4 campaign. It’s too easy and almost impossible to die during the regular campaign. It takes roughly two minutes to beat a world boss on the first play through.
That doesn't bother me. What made me gravitate to Diablo was how they did the story. The plot of evil vs good and angels vs demons in a eternal conflict is cliche and overdone. But I liked how Blizzard handled it and I've been glued to it for a while. Mephisto is my favorite character overall and damn they're having an expansion coming soon, that revolves around him, so my temptation will be even greater.
So no it doesn't bother me that it's "too easy" or "almost impossible to die", because my idea of fun is not to have a very frustrating experience.
The Dark Souls series takes place in a fascinating universe and I’m sure the lore is enthralling… I just refuse to play games that are made artificially hard for the sake of it. If it’s single-player, the devs shouldn’t have an opinion on how much time each player is comfortable wasting on it. Give me “story” difficulty, cheats, etc., and let me decide what to do with them. All you’re hurting are your own sales.
I love dark fantasy as a theme. But I can't enjoy the theme if the game is going to be padded like that. That's how you make games not fun and there's nothing fun when you're killed in one or two hits. There's challenge and then there's not fun and all soulslike games fall into the not fun part.
Here’s something I do that helps with “feeling old” when people point out things that happened 20 or so years ago.
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion came out 20 years ago, but what was I actually doing 20 years ago? I was like 10 or 11 years old in middle school and my brother’s friend let him borrow the game over the weekend. It was my first open world RPG and I was so excited to play it and could barely even comprehend how big it was. I’ve basically lived two thirds of my life since then. My first job, moving out of my parents, my first apartment, getting my drivers license, my first car, my first real girlfriend, all of my neices and nephews being born, going to an amusement park for the first time, going to a movie theater for the first time, and basically everything else I can think of because I sure as shit don’t remember much from before I was 10 years old. So pretty much everything important that has ever happened in my entire life was between the time of Oblivion coming out and now.
So yeah, we are definitely getting older. But that doesn’t mean the time in between was just nothing. It feels like 2006 was yesterday because we often gloss over everything in between and don’t really focus on what was actually going on in our lives at the time.
Daggerfall.
It has the most elaborate character creation and most freedom of choice of all the Elder Scrolls games.
You can walk, ride or fly through an open world that’s as large as Great Britain, with thousands of realistically modelled towns and cities, and enter any house in them. You can turn into a vampire, werewolf or were-boar, buy a ship, make deals with the gods, invent your own spells, and commit bank fraud.
First time I played it, it took all night to download the 140MB installer from Kazaa.
But actually playing it now, after so much development in game mechanics has happened, is a chore.
When doing quests, you just go through the same loop of “talk to person, clear an absurdly huge dungeon, kill dozens of enemies that aren’t scaled to your level, die a couple dozen times unless you cheesed the game to become invincible, solve a text riddle, find the McGuffin, return, repeat” over and over again.
They really favored being a lycanthrope in that game. It's the most OP transformation, especially when you get a special ring that takes away some of the negatives of being a lycanthrope. All of your stats get maxed, you can instantly heal between transformations, you are immune from what the guards try hitting you with.
Talk about feeling old I played almost all the games until 2006, but fewer of the list after and hardly from the 2016 one. Not trying to one up but figured good place to comment.
It’s been a fun time seeing progression over the years, haven’t stopped playing since my first Gemini (Atari 2600 knockoff that played the same games) system. Going from 2d squares to a proper video representation has been awesome. I always enjoyed the graphic improvements the gameplay has had its ups and downs but the remembered ones did that part right.
Sail the high seas. That way you don’t support them and get to play it. I haven’t pirated a game for many years but some game houses deserves what comes to them
The first Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a great game and I think it should be played first, but I understand it’s old clunky and unoptimized. These days it should be played with certain QoL mods like unlimited saving, instant herb picking (no animation), richer merchants, and trough washing deluxe/clean Henry (honestly I don’t want to spend all my time going to the baths or looking shite). There are others, probably about 7-8 total, that I recommend but you get the idea.
