I like xi, and its still got a good amount of players, but its a difficult game with old slow mechanics, so know what you are getting into. Find a friend or discord to play with.
I did end up trying it for a few days, but it doesn’t seem to be what I was looking for.
Other players don’t seem to be interested in the progression (which is understandable and expected due to the age of the game), but I don’t want to invest the time to reach level 99 just to then risk not enjoying it (looking at videos I don’t think the combat is what I was expecting, as I thought the mechanics would be closer to what XIV is now).
I adore Nethack; there is so much to discover! Although, most of it is stuff that kills you. My first ascension was with the very reliable human Valkyrie.
Yeah it’s ridiculously deep. Like I said, I played it for 30 years and I still learn new stuff all the time when I read the wiki or watch videos, like “damn! Had no clue, that is pretty smart, what a bizarre mechanism but it’s perfectly logical when you think about it” hahaha!
Hahaha! First run ever that I got a wand of wishing and genuinely have nothing more I need, so I wished for a blessed figurine of an Archon and applied it, and he spawned with Demonbane and just mows down monsters like it’s nobody’s business. :)
Oh wow, you are going to spend a lot of time on the https://nethackwiki.com, there’s also a tutorial on YouTube that goes into the basics. First tip is: dying is fun! Just experiment a lot in the beginning. Start out with a dwarven valkyrie, that’s the easiest class/race to play.
In the beginning you’re just going to learn the controls and get used to visually id monsters and items. I don’t know which version you play, I can recommend one with a visual GUI, I’m an ASCII purist myself, but the interface for vanilla Nethack is just brutal. There are variants like Fiqhack and Dynahack that come with a bunch of QoL improvements like separate windows for message history, inventory, stats et c.
It takes a very long time to learn and master (as evidenced by my 30 year journey), but there is just something to it, it is so well thought out and it has been continuously tweaked over almost 40 years, and sees plenty of people still playing it.
There’s a nethack subreddit that I would recommend checking out when you have questions!
I just played this game for the first time a week ago. I liked it so much I immediately ran through it again as a pacifist. I’m a sucker for a well fleshed out story and world. The quirky humor also landed more often than not and the emotions hit pretty hard. I look forward to playing Deltarune sometime soon.

I pre-ordered a game twice now. The first one was Stalker 2 and the second Death Stranding 2. I am unhappy with Stalker 2 (I’m still waiting on the preorder physical) but I have the Death Stranding one. If you care about the bonuses I’d say it’s a gamble.
Fast motion where it’s in my peripheral vision as well as primary field of view gives me nausea even with pretty strong VR legs.
Sometimes games (and headsets) will have a comfort mode which adds a vignette around the peripheral vision when there’s high movement. That usually helps lower motion sickness.
I know the Meta Quest 3 and 3s have this feature built in. For PCVR with other headsets, often games have this feature built in. Usually it’s called “comfort mode” or something similar. It’s a standard in VR UX.
As a big metal gear fan, I’ve been replaying the series and the writing in particular hasn’t aged well, any female character or anything related to them feels like it was written by a horny 12 year old. The series needs some major overhaul if it’s gonna go on, and a mostly naked jiggly sniper doesn’t help the series progress
At least they’ve rereleased ZOE at higher native res a couple of times. It was a long gap between 2 and the “HD remaster” where I wondered if I’d ever see it recognized again.
By the way, if anyone knows of any other games with similar gameplay/combat, please let me know. The closest I’ve found so far was Dissidia Duodecim for PSP, and that’s kind of a stretch.
Honestly, if anything, is overrated. It had a very promising beta that was ruined by further development. And then was further tarnished by the facts of its abusive development coming to light.
I’m not saying that no one should enjoy it. If you like it, that’s great. But it very much didn’t live up to its potential.
Did some digging and I found the unpaid labor scandal and one harassment claim. Nothing about sexual abuse and the harassment claim I was unable to corroborate.
Still bad though. What a sad story to a game with such potential. Really irks me.
