My favorite of all time for exactly this is Spec Ops: The Line. Its a third person shooter and really fun, but its main selling point is making super tough morally gray decisions. Still one of my favorite game stories ever. You can usually get it really cheap and its just perfect for what tou described.
Was also going to mention this! Love that game and have played it twice. I even remember two set pieces in the game like a movie and sometimes recant them to friends as if it were from a movie cuz they probably wouldn’t understand.
Battlefield 1942. Vehicle combat, area-control mechanics, "realistic" shooter gameplay (before that term became an obscene word), and class-based team mechanics had all been invented before, but the way it brought them together and the degree to which it polished them to arrive at something fun as hell was nothing less than revolutionary at the time. It was so groundbreaking that (for better or worse) it basically spawned the "AAA WW2 game" genre that then lasted for decades.
Then, the sequels were so consistently mediocre that the original was more or less erased from history.
Master of Magic. I know strategy isn’t everyone’s thing and turn based isn’t either and high fantasy isn’t usually strategy staple, but it’s damn near perfect in execution. There are some minor nitpicks, but the game is definitely a 9/10*s. None of the spiritual successors have ever been so well executed. They always fall flat somewhere.
I second this. Triple Triad is so much fun! Fun fact, they have it in Final Fantasy XIV and it’s so much fun to collect the cards and play other people. They even have tournaments.
I wouldn’t pay $100 for an entire game. It grosses me out that someone is expected to spend $100 on cosmetics. Like obviously not everyone, but that it’s even possible is rather horrifying. Especially since it doesn’t stop there. You can buy multiple packs, and it’s fully expected that some people will.
And it’s true that some people will, but those people exist whether the game offers it or not. If The Finals won’t offer it, then they’ll just spend their money elsewhere.
I’m very much a one game at a time man. I’ve just finished Control and I’m currently about ten hours into Immortals: Fenyx Rising. I’ve got Cyberpunk 2077 waiting in the wings, don’t know when I’ll start that.
In terms of upcoming games in 2024, I’m looking forward to MudRunner Expeditions. I enjoyed the original game and Snow runner too a degree but the jobs became tiresome. The fact the new game is all about exploring really appeals to me.
FFX Blitzball is the mini-game that I sunk the most time into by far (100+ hours), and always had fun.
Gwent from Witcher 3 kind of goes without saying, the framework is so good it’s spawned 3 full games that I can think of.
Best Hacking mini-game goes to the newer Deux Ex games, quick, the right amount of challenge but if you didn’t like it you could basically never do it.
Best lockpicking I’m going to give to Starfield. Literally the only part of the game I actually enjoyed, each is a great little puzzle.
Many people love Stardew Valley so I gave it a go. It was fun for a couple of hours, but it doesn’t really have any depth. But you can go to the tavern and hop on an arcade machine with a really fun minimalist twin-stick shooter called Journey of the Prairie King that’s actually pretty great. It’s fast paced and unforgiving, and I spent more time playing that than on actual farming and what not.
For me it was fun for like 5 hours, but I was massively let down after that. The combat is pretty basic so that got boring quickly, and the new maps pretty much didn’t have anything new except new vegetables and enemies with new skins. You learn everything you need to know about the game in the first couple of hours and after that there’s no challenge and no real reason to keep making money which makes the grinding pointless. It’s a good casual game if you like decorating the farm but it’s not my cup of tea.
Ok, that’s a good point. I’m glad you enjoy that part of the game. I wasn’t really interested in “talking” to NPC-s and giving them gifts so I skipped that part of the game and certainly missed what some people like the most about it. As I said, not my cup of tea.
FYI half of the game’s content is probably locked behind social interaction. Maybe that’s a bad way of phrasing it, it’s more like there are lots of different areas of the game (farming, exploring, dungeoneering, and socialising) and they all unlock more bits in the other areas. Either way you probably had a bad time as you were only getting a small slice of the game (though obviously that’s fine if you weren’t going to enjoy it anyway!)
Not a voice mod, but my voice passes as fem now, so I started talking in VC.
Started playing phasmophobia and it’s a lot of fun, but sometimes you get one or two dudes that start making “funny” mysogynistic comments and it’s pretty annoying cause it’s the Same. Thing. Every. Time.
“Oooh it’s in the kitchen, must be a woman ghost!” Looks at me to gauge my reaction.

And more. Spawntaneous is a youtuber that has a series of videos about being a “girl gamer” and it’s very eye opening. You don’t get that kind of people every match, but you do get them every couple hours you play, and even if you somehow find it funny the first time, it gets old really quick.
All of the Yakuza games are basically, collections of well made mini games that turn each beat-em-up campaign into a hundred hours of fun. But among those, the Cabaret Club and Pocket Circuit RC race-car games from Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami, are probably my favs.
Antidota istnieją i robią super robotę, ale jeśli chcesz przekonać płaskoziemcę samymi faktami, to pewnie daleko nie zajdziesz.
Tych prawdziwie pierdolniętych nie przekonasz i z tym trzeba się pogodzić - na szczęście nie ma ich aż tak dużo. Reszta tej grupy głosuje zgodnie z tym co rozumieją jako własny interes (i to się da odczarować) i jako głos sprzeciwu (dużo trudniejsze, bo wymaga naprawy jakości klasy politycznej). Mogą być negatywnie nastawieni do kwestii praw człowieka, ale efektywnie mają to w dupie.
To co widzę jako najczęstszy błąd to próba zmiany poglądów ludzi o 180 stopni. Dużo skuteczniejsze jest stopniowe odradykalizowanie. Wyborcę konfederacji przekonaj do TD. Wyborcę TD do KO. KO do SLD, SLD do Razemu. I tak, TD bardzo nie różni się od konfederacji, ale jest częścią establishmentu więc usunąłeś jakiś element oporu przed pójściem dalej.
