He surely meant “Outer Wilds” based on his description. Fantastic and memorable game that will make you sad reminiscing your playthrough. Go in completely blind
To the Moon has a great story that I still think about to this day. Not much game there, just a few easy puzzles sprinkled in the narrative. But worth it for the story and how it is told.
Couldn’t make it more than a couple hours in this game. Everything was just so “generic open world Ubisoft game” and I found the dialog to be obnoxious.
Despite the high scores across the board, it seems about as split as FF7 Remake. A lot of people love the game but aren’t a fan of how they changed the story, and here we see the same pattern.
As I said with the first one: I already have ff7. I don’t need ff7 again. If I want ff7 I’ll go play ff7. I’m incredibly happy they decided to spice things up and give it a twist. This has me even more excited for next week!
As I said in 2002: this story is awesome. But they have cubes for hands. We have the ps2 now. I hope I can play this game again someday without cubes for hands. This is not that game.
Nope, it’s not that game. Nor, IMO, could they possibly make that game successful enough to justify the cost of the remake. There aren’t enough people like you to generate the sales numbers they are looking for. Could you make a reasonably successful product like that? Sure. Would it make the amount of money square-enix is interested in? I strongly doubt it. Because I wouldn’t buy that game and I enjoyed ff7. I don’t really care if they have cubes for hands. I’m not playing it for the graphics heh
Wrong. FF7 was the second-best selling PSX game of all time, and is also the best-selling single-player Final Fantasy game. If you consider that remaking FF7 means getting the original fans PLUS introducing it to an entire generation of gamers who never played it on PSX then you would definitely expect it to sell.
If they didn't think a remake would sell then why did they literally call it "FF7 Remake" and not something else?
That’s just not true at all. Literally one of the most famous games ever made remade with modern graphics couldn’t be successful? When squenix announced a remake, and the internet exploded, that is exactly the game everyone expected it to be. Even at launch day we still thought the story would be mostly unchanged.
I’m not arguing in favor of keeping turn based combat.
How exactly would keeping the original story have made a remake less successful? New players would have played it either way, and I find it very hard to believe that the number of fans of the original who would have avoided the game due it being “the same game” outnumber the number of fans who were sold a remake and didn’t find out until half way through that this was a different game.
If you’re willing to put some effort you can get the original on PC and mod it. It looks much better with mods. The mods are pretty easy to install and it won’t cost you $180 over however many years to get the full story
And I like that it’s just different enough to leave me wondering if what comes next will be different than what I expected. I think that’s awesome. And I really like the changes they’ve made so far, in terms of how it will obviously impact the future
The first one was fun, but I was disappointed it ended early. Open world exploring is what makes it a Final Fantasy game. I didn’t mind the additional content and changes, but really wanted the whole game (especially for $60-70).
I have another theory, and please don’t be offended if I’m wrong.
Maybe it wasn’t a game at all.
Could it have been The Bishop of Battle from the movie Nightmares? You might have Mandela-effected this game from memories of that movie and similar games you had played.
I’ve beaten the game(act 4) with every char except the poison one. The best phone game ever. The balance is a bit iffy though, Watcher is just way more consistent than other characters but Defect is my favourite
As for similar games I like Monster Train, I’ve enjoyed it nearly as much but it doesn’t have the same longevity imo.
Man wtf? Defect and watcher are the two that make no sense to me at all, especially the defect. I’m best with the silent. And by that I mean I’m A17 on the silent and like… A2 on the defect
There are many strategies, the most obvious one it to
get orbs so cards like capacitor
get focus so orbs do more, cards like defragment(most important!)
get generate lightning orb cards to fill the orbs
ideally get electrodynamics that makes every orb hit every single target
get evoke cards for massive burst damage
You can also do the same with frost instead of lightning, you’ll have so much block nothing will touch you, you can then use cards like claw for damage. Upgraded Buffer card might be my favourite in the game
The problem with defect is that the cards you get on a given run might screw you over, not fitting any strategy whereas the watcher always has a valid strategy based on switching between calm and wrath stances if he doesn’t get something better like divinity or alpha.
The Frog Detective series is pleasant, light, and overall delightful. Feels like a slightly more grownup Humongous Games kinda title.
And I do have to check- Did you play the Manhunter games?
They're super overlooked for Sierra titles, (and some lists don't seem to mention them) but they're still authentic old school adventure game.
Super cheezy though.
thanks for your suggestions the frog detective series sounds like the exact kind of game i would like. and as for the manhunter i have to admit i haven’t played them. why are they overlooked though? it doesn’t seem that different from other games of that time.
It’s not really an adventure in the classical genre definition, but maybe Return of the Obra Dinn is something for you if you like solving puzzles and fancy murder mysteries.
i have played return of the obra dinn. it’s one of the greatest puzzle games i’ve played and i feel like most people that have played it say the same. actually solving all identities is legitimately hard, the story is interesting and the presentation is top notch. not an adventure game as i would define it but i highly recommended playing it to everyone that haven’t played it.
Have you tried the titles from Amanita Design? They’ve made quite a few old-school point-and-click games, with hand-drawn graphics and cute stories despite the characters never talking.
absolutely i’ve played a shit ton of their games when i was a kid. i was surprised to see their games are not that famous since where i live most young people have played at least Machinarium.
Rain World. Fits the vague definition with some survival elements. But it is heavy on story, atmospheric story-telling, and heavily influenced by Hinduism.
tried playing it with my friend but our networks were so bad we gave up and i never tried out the game again. from the 5 minute i played it didn’t look like it has much of a story but maybe it’s time for me to actually play it.
Yeah it doesnt spoon feed you the story. You have to discover the characters and they each share a bit of lore with you. Most of these come from lore pearls or having enough karma to see the Echos and talk to them. I don’t want to spoil it for you though. As part of the game is peeling off your animal struggles to see what is actually around you.
