Renegade on the ZX Spectrum was good, the sequel Target: Renegade was one of my favourite games for years, but the third game was a cynical cash grab, badly executed, barely playable.
Rimworld or Crusader Kings. Their DLC expands the possibilities of what can happen during a game and are entirely optional. Their existence doesn’t take anything from new players who only own the base game and you can pick and choose what you want to add to your game to expand it how you so choose.
I second Rimworld. The DLCs literally only add content, and are completely optional even if you own them. In fact, let me shill Rimworld for a second…
Never have I felt every emotion possible from playing a game. From sorrow about one of my child colonists getting gunned down trying to move a rock, to triumph watching a lone colonist single-handedly repelling a mech threat with a bolt action and a sandbag. Rage, watching one of those bastards breakdown from having to sit in a shitty chair and murdering the only doctor in the colony, then dying to the wounds sustained from said doctor shortly after.
Death Stranding 1 & 2. I mean they are walking simulators anyway. I’m not dissing the game at all. Probably have 500 hours plus in both of them combined.
The first thing is that at one point many years ago we participated in Rocket League’s RLCS. Participation was completely open. We were actually doing quite well until we randomly ran into pro players and got completely demolished. It’s kinda humbling to know that even though you’re part of the top ~1% of players, pro players are still in a totally different league and absolutely unbeatable. Their speed and game sense is so much better than that of any mere mortal, it’s like we weren’t even there. We were probably low Grand Champion around the time, and we got beaten like we would beat Gold ranked players. Personally I don’t mind losing like this, it’s a good learning experience and shows you how much is possible.
At uni I also participated in plenty of LAN parties that had random game competitions. Usually they were games that a lot of us didn’t ever play before. We’d usually start playing the game a few hours in advance to get a feel for it. There I’ve found that I’m quite decent at this usually, but that there are definitely a few people who can get quite decent at a game in 2 hours to the point that they challenge people with casual experience with the game. It as always good fun though, and because I tended to put some effort into it I regularly managed to get into the top 3.
yes! the old Nintendo World Championships! various pokemon and smash bros tournaments, and will be going to my first EVO this year!
it’s fun as long as you’re passionate about it and don’t fret too much about winning or losing. just have fun with other ppl who also enjoy this hobby and try to learn and keep growing!
I mean it’s just a cheap PR ploy anyway. Companies are not your friends. They are just as much dependent on payment processors like Mastercard as Steam and Itch. They probably just don’t matter enough to get notice.
Finished Final Fantasy XVI. I liked the story. The gameplay tho was serviceable at best and started getting really boring for the last 20 hours.
Started Persona 3 Reload. Played FES a few years ago and loved it. I like the new additions like Linked Episodes and the fully voiced Social Links. I kinda wish the combat kept the “tactics” from the PS2 games, but instead it’s just P5’s with a few things from SMTV. Also some of the cutscenes are a downgrade from the original, as I think they based them on the Portable version.
Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon’s Keep as part of Borderlands 2 was so fun at the time - all of the BL2 DLC was good honestly. Haven’t played it in years though.
Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare was excellent.
I quite like most of the The Binding of Isaac DLC (although sometimes they're a bit too big, to be honest).
The Vietnam DLC for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was also rather good. I didn't get to play as much of it as I might have liked but I remember it being more than just a resin.
Bonus: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge (an expansion pack rather than DLC admittedly)
Hyrule Warriors Legends and Mario Kart 8 had DLC that doubled the content and didn’t cost that much. I probably played more DLC then the main game for both.
