I’ve been playing the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.

I played the original back on Wii U, and I was so sad when they shut the servers down.

They added another chapter in 3 parts that really points to a sequel in the works. They also added 3 new playable characters that were just NPCs in the original game, and the Hreisvelg series of skells that only appeared in 1 mission in the original version.

If you are a fan of Mobile Suit Gundam, this game is for you. The skells were made by the creator of Gunadam.

Pseudoregalia. I wish there were more boss fights because I thought they were well done, but still a great experience overall.

Elden Ring, just a new run because it’s been a while.

The first 4 Tomb Raider games on PC/PS1

Digimon World on PS1, made worse by the fact that it’s a tamagotchi roguelite RPG. I never played DW3, but I heard it can easily become a “where the fuck do I go now?” because of obtuse/asshole time sinking designs here and there

Myst.

Riven.

Myst III Exile

caseyweederman,

Hmm. I’m not sure these count.
A) they’re supposed to be mysterious
B) the progression makes sense, even if the key is in one of several burned books on a bookshelf among many other similar keys, or given to you in one of the bad endings.

The information is there, you just have to work for it.

I haven’t played Myst III, that was by a different company, right?

stoy,

Myst III was made by Presto Studios in collaboration with Cyan, it does have a slightly different feel to the other games, but it is not bad

RoboCop on PS5.

I tried, but I just can’t go back and play Oblivion after playing Skyrim with all the quality of life mods. I’m waiting on the Skyblivion release to revisit it.

emb,

I’d say TES as well, but with Oblivion > Morrowind. I had trouble getting used to it being more toward the RPG side than Action. But it’s rewarding if you see it through.

monarch,

I couldn’t ever get into oblivion since skyrim was my first Bethesda game and a lot of oblivion felt like (to me) slightly janky skyrim. I was able to get into morroeind though because it was just so diffrent.

Hugin,

And I’m from the other end where I came from Morrowind and couldn’t get into Oblivion because it was so generic compared to the earlier game. Monsters leveling to the character made it so safe.

I remember when the monster that was spawning everywhere changed type I knew I had leveled up.

lath,

I could and i did. It was great. Sorry you couldn’t find a similar feeling.

Ps: nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh

tonyn,

The loading screens omg

I put hundreds of hours into that game and loved all 15 of them I spent actually playing

dogslayeggs,

I actually did. After waiting 10 years for a new TES game after Skyrim, I got bored and installed Morrowblivion. Played that all the way through. Then I played Oblivion with some visual mods. It was still quite fun, though I didn’t do a full play through. If I hadn’t already done a full play through, then Oblivion would still be an awesome game after playing Skyrim.

SgtAStrawberry,

I managed to play and enjoy Oblivion after Skyrim, but found a brick wall when trying Morrowind.

Cethin,

I agree, but going back to Morrowind is incredibly easy oddly. Oblivion was on the path to Skyrim, but Morrowind is in a totally different position.

prole,

Oblivion’s graphics did not age well, but just about everything else about it was better than Skyrim.

Better quest lines, better setting, better plot (probably, I never really get super far into the main quest of these games)…

positiveWHAT,

Soo, what about the Remaster?!

Diablo 4 season 8

CCAirWater, do games w What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?

Just started playing a simple isometric game called Tunic. It’s cute, and you play as a little button mashing fox creature with a sword in a language that’s gibberish as you find hidden paths in the isometric style. It’s frustrating for being so simplistic, because the hidden paths are hidden. I kinda like it so far tho. Just simple, relaxing, chill music, and cute AF artwork.

EveningPancakes,

Absolutely adored that game! It’s one of those that I wish I could replay without having remembers how I uncovered all the various secrets.

CCAirWater,

It is super, super cute. I started it on a whim and I love that it doesn’t really give ya anything. Like a souls-like game, it’s just ‘figure it out as you go’ but a cute fox and bug creatures.

rustyricotta,

Fantastic game. If you haven’t been already, you can tilt the camera slightly to get a peek at some of the hidden paths.

CCAirWater,

Yeah with the lock on button? When I figured out that holding the dodge button let me sprint, it blew my mind haha

letsgo,

I played Thing on a Spring a lot but never completed it.

So many times in GTA V I had no idea how to trigger the next mission. I would probably go back to it and play through if it had some sort of indicator for how to trigger the next campaign mission.

zipzoopaboop,

Go to a mission marker on the map?

sugar_in_your_tea, (edited )

Some missions are characteristic-specific, but those are labeled too.

MSids,

It was a while back, but I feel like I remember trying this, switching between characters and going to their various markers on the map but nothing would happen. It was long enough ago that I can’t rule out hitting a bug or missing a required side mission, but I remember not being the only person saying this.

I was never a fan of just driving around the city causing havoc, so even short amounts of time with no missions felt like eternity.

All of fucking Bloodborne. Fast travel is great. Building into the narrative where you don’t tell the story directly? Fuck that.

Control had me wandering around.

zymagoras777,

That’s one of the best games I’ve played with one of the worst map designs I’ve ever seen.

dumblederp, (edited )
@dumblederp@aussie.zone avatar

I actually gave up because I was lost in an office most of the time. It was just dull.

DamienGramatacus,

Surely that’s the point though. Isn’t the map design part of the Tower of Babel madness vibe?

A couple times in Linda Cubed Again. The game’s next objectives are told to you by characters, or through the in-game voicemail system.

However, there is no “current quest” screen so if you take a break from the game, you can easily forget where you left off.

Also, it doesn’t help that the game was only released in Japan (and fan translated only recently) so there’s not a lot of walkthroughs you can follow.
