Super Mario 64. I have the best memories from. I got an N64 and Mario 64 on Christmas the year it came out.

The original Spyro was my absolute favorite as a kid, also enjoyed crash bandicoot, ratchet and clank, and the jak and daxter series. The don’t make adventure games like they used to imo so now I do a lot of strategy and sim games as I’m obviously old now

Neon White, it’s fun and scratches the same time trial competitive itch Mirror’s Edge had. I like the story as well, it’s quirky and funny, not too serious.

Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past

Super Mario Sunshine

Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons/Ages

Golden Sun 1 and 2

These are the games that made my childhood great!

Golden sun games are so good. I wish that series would get a revival

JAWNEHBOY,

Oh golden sun was such a gem. My parents bought it used for cheap and I had such low expectations - spent so many hours playing through the storyline as a kid it has to be the best playtime/$ investment in my lifetime so far.

Definitely going to go hunt down Golden Sun 2 now

Pong.

tover153,

Came here to say this. Then Gorf on a Vic20 cartridge, and then Asteroids, Pitfall on the 2600.

Pratai,

I had an Amiga 500 back in the days with a 1MB ram upgrade. I was the cool kid.

Started playing Yakuza like a dragon. I wanted to start a new RPG. Also started a new playthrough of Eden Ring, following the wiki since I missed a lot of stuff in the past. Going with a samurai build

Bubble bobble

Castlevania

Metroid prime

Also as a kid remember playing some old school ghostbusters game that consisted of mashing a button over and over as quickly as possible.

I appreciate the humor here and also feeling like I'm getting aware how hard it is to find honest feedback on anything game related with how heavy THE MARKET wants to push influence on the industry. The stuff about BG3 being THE WORST BECASUE IT HURTS BIG MONEY FEELINGS comoflauged articles was INSANE. Fucking Chat GDP ones shilling that little companies shouldn't be thought of nicely.

aCosmicWave,

Thank you! This entire post is my little way of poking fun at the current state of things. It’s as if the market tries to set a singular narrative for new games/products and it’s very hard to provide honest feedback if it goes against the grain in any way.

Goronmon,

That BG3 drama was pretty much fabricated to stir up social media engagement. The sentiment you are complaining about really only existed in the mind of people complaining.

Nevermind that neither Larian or Sony are small companies.

  • Transport Tycoon - I recently found a notebook of mine in which I wrote detailed lists of routes and vehicles. This is maybe the first game I fully embraced and played for hours.
  • Dune 2 - The first RTS game I played although I had no idea what it was all about (hadn’t seen the movie yet read the book at that time).
  • Red Alert - The OST is still great, the FMV hasn’t aged well, but gameplay is still great. The remaster is very good (alternatively use OpenRA).
  • Anno 1602 (1602 A.D.) - I played the demo for hours carefully avoiding upgrading my citizens as this would end the demo. Maybe the first game I bought myself and I still have the box.
  • Dungeon Keeper 2 - My first hype game. I upgraded my system for this (it was worth it).
  • Gothic 2 - Maybe the first Action RPG I played and it still holds up to current titles. In some aspects it even is better than Witcher 3 which released years later.
  • World of Warcraft - I played the open beta and was immediately hooked. I played until the second expansion came out.
  • Banished - Still my goto game for cold winter nights. It is incredible difficult and hard to find the perfect balance. You have to force yourself to play slowly which is wonderful.
  • Oxygen not included - I can play this for hours and hours. It has the same need for balance as Banished but a unique art style and endless mods on the workshop.
TheRecruiter,

Transport Tycoon Deluxe was amazing, as a kid it took me so long to understand how the game worked (being from a non-English speaking country it was mostly trial and error) but once i understood i spent hours on it every day. I still remember the excitement of completing my first campaign, and getting the pop-up message in 2050 that I won the game, such a wonderful feeling.

There is an open source remake of it called OpenTTD available on steam, which is the same game with quality of life improvements, better graphics (as far as pixel style games go), and lots of customizability options that I still play to this day, it still is one of my favourite games of all time

EarMaster,
@EarMaster@lemmy.world avatar

OpenTTD is fantastic. But after playing Banished and ONI (among others) it is just too easy. There is no real challenge unfortunately…

TheRecruiter,

I mean I personally prefer not too difficult of a challenge, as I don’t have all that much time to play games. But another really cool thing I like about OpenTTD is the fact that you can choose what kind of AI opponents to play against, from a big pool of community created AI’s, which can allow for really difficult challenges sometimes. Like if the AI builds fast, with all the different vehicles available and you don’t allow yourself to buy them out, it can get really difficult, and you can make the game as fun as you want it to be

More of my last couple months overview… I’ve been continuing Monster Hunter: Rise basically since the beginning of October, went across the country for a road trip and since getting back near the end of October have been pretty heavily attempting to 100% the game. I’ve put thousands of hours into the MH series but this would be my first technical 100% in these games since MH Tri.

In between all that I also rebuilt my music PC downstairs which has enough space for VR, more than I’ve ever gotten to try before. It’s been great, although I’m still mostly doing my usual games, Pistol Whip, Blade and Sorcery, Holoball with some hobby applications like Vermillion and Vinyl Reality.

However outside of that, my friend got me Lethal Company which has been pretty fun. I like the Phasmophobia style game when I have a friend to play it with, and Lethal Company fits that well focusing on junk collecting and monsters instead of ghosts. I’ve also been playing games I wouldn’t usually play on the PC on the Steam Deck instead. Much better experience for my preference, Kingdom Two Crowns, Hero’s Hour, Everhood, and the more arcade style games like Moose Life and Ubermosh.

But this past week? MH: Rise, Moose Life, Ubermosh, Crypt of the Necrodancer!

And they told me that post quality was much higher here than on Reddit, lol

aCosmicWave,

Hey! I took a good 5 minutes to write this original content. That’s like 10,000% more effort than the average repost on Reddit.

Finally decided to get Mass Effect Legendary Edition since it was on sale. It's been such a long time since I played the original ME and I hadn't gotten to the 3rd. Loving every moment so far. Gonna go for a renegade run across all three just to see what happens lol

I told myself the same once but I just couldn’t do it. 😭

@hyperhearse@kbin.social avatar

Oh I don't doubt it. I get tempted to choose the nicer options but I'm staying firm. I almost never go the bad/evil route in games like these so I'm excited to see how things are going to play out. Probably going to hate every outcome though lol.

In these comments: People who can’t figure out what sarcasm is.

Goronmon,

That or they just don’t like the content of the post?

I haven’t upvoted the post because I’m not a huge fan of the “I’m not like other gamers/posters” style of content and don’t really want to encourage it.

I said nothing of the point value on the post. One can clearly see the comments here and how most of them blatantly took the post seriously (or didn’t actually read the body).
