This isn’t quite in line with your question but it’s adjacently meta:
the first time you fall to your death in Bastion the (amazing) narrator says “…and then he fell to his death. … Ahh, I’m just foolin’.” and then you respawn on the platform because videogame.

Max Payne 1&2 are some of my favorite games ever, I’ve beaten both over 5 times

They’re up there as some of my favorites. Ever since I played them last year I’ve been wanting to play them yearly

It really is. I’ve been keeping an eye out for games that come close but really there aren’t a lot which is a shame

Elden Ring has the deepest, most complex worldbuilding of any game ever made, and it’s not even close. For anyone interested in worldbuilding I strongly urge you to watch some Elden Ring lore videos from The Tarnished Archaeologist to learn about the techniques that the Elden Ring devs use to put incredibly deep and subtle worldbuilding into their games. It’s changed the way I think about worldbuilding in any context.

FishFace,

Zanzibart forgive me

drosophila,

The person that came up with that phrase is in charge of a game series with dialogue that makes your skull physically reform into a fedora.

FishFace,

k?

itkovian,

As deep as Elden Ring is, I hate how hopeless The Lands Between feels.

@SamuraiBeandog@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah the bleakness of From’s settings is definitely an inherent part of their worldbuilding.

In Postal 2 there's a platforming section and, because I suck at platformers, let alone in first person, so I was saving a lot. After a few very short and successive saves, the dude made fun of me for saving so much.

Also in Portal 2, just a lot of GlaDOS lines in general.

Trails in the Sky

I got sick about dystopian chaotic worlds that don’t work - where the hero’s journey is about saving the world from some impending ruin, or about preventing a starving dystopian city from being blown up.

In Trails, the conversations you have with NPCs remind you that while you’re on the trail of some bandits or suspicious people, other people are not evacuating, sheltering in fear, etc; they’re living their lives, keeping up to date on modern trends, making travel plans to other countries.

So, so many worlds just don’t have space for characters to have those thoughts. It’s always fear around impending disasters, or how to respond to a fight, or grim poetry about how much the world has fallen into darkness.

It especially hurts that some people live so much of their lives in these fictional worlds that they start to believe people would be like that when they go outside. Worlds like the one in Trails, even if they spend a lot of time being boringly polite, are a nice call back to reality.

There’s that bit in Baldur’s gate 2 where some NPCs decide they can take you on, die, and then reload the game.

The Soul Urn in Deadlock is very chatty and will constantly sass you while you’re trying to pick it up for your team.

I was beginning to feel abandoned.

You do know where you’re supposed to take me, right?

You’re dropping me?!

I’d recommend ignoring all these suggestions and trying some out for yourself.

You should be able to return the ones that don’t work for free within 30 days.

What is this game called? 👀

PonyOfWar,

It’s The Outer Worlds 2.

yris_latteyi,

Thanks! I’ll check it out!

dukemirage,

Is this the main menu that looks like a dialogue encounter, or is it a dialogue encounter in the game that suddenly acts like a main menu?

PonyOfWar,

It’s the main menu. Pretty fun idea, but from what I’ve played of the actual game so far, it isn’t nearly as creative or meta unfortunately.

Passerby6497,

How does it compare to the first one? It was fun for a bit but quickly lost its charm for me.

PonyOfWar,

I’ve only gotten like 1.5 hours in so I can’t really say yet, but so far it feels similar to the first one with some improvements to stuff like gunplay.

I’m enjoying it a lot. It scratches that itch for a Bethesda RPG pretty much perfectly, with the added benefit of an Obsidian roleplaying focus.

AutistoMephisto,
@AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world avatar

I’m enjoying it. It feels like the game that Obsidian wanted the first one to be, but couldn’t quite get there, for whatever reason.

In Wasteland 2 there is a museum of pre-war artifacts. One item is an undetonated nuclear bomb. If you monkey around with it you can find a big red button. It is obviously a terrible idea to push the button. If you still decide to push it you get a special game over screen.

8bitdo is a good buy. especially if you ever want to use it with a switch.
