Its funny, I just think I have a thing for the underdogs. So I was always drawn to GOG, their stance on DRM-free gaming and games preservation in general don’t hurt though, of course!
Its taken me until now to even really look at Steam, even for my Steam Deck. I will admit, Steam’s cloud saves and pre-shader compilation is a blessing to game with.
Iwatodai Dorm from Persona 3 Reload was the most recent one that really got stuck in my head, but it happens a lot for me. It’s not always video game music, but probably is a majority of the time.
Looking for those as well, only thing I found was BB:EE, Ultra Age’s roguelite mode, Nioh 2, and the upcoming Morbid Metal. To some extent, Godfall, Kingdoms of Amalur and Wayfinder.
I want a grinding game where you get exciting loot, with combat like DmC to master. Those basically don’t exist, so you have to settle for better combat with some loot upgrsdes, or deep rng loot chase with more basic combat. Roguelite games with deeper combat is probably where most of those games will live.
That said, Nioh 2 is really the best of both worlds in late game (Diablo look with the best “grounded” combat ever, just harder than Souls games for your first 30 hours).
No joke, I had to install a cheat just to get used to the game because I got my ass handed to me by every single enemy right from the start. At some point it just clicked and I understood how to play, so I started over and did fine, and now I’m a flashy melee god lol
Souls games kind of give you some time to get atuned with how to play and what enemies to run from, so taking your time at first will do it. In Nioh 2, maybe because I had not yet mastered the first game, it started with mid-game souls enemies.
The combat is also much deeper, and ki-pulsing makes it a nice dance, giving you a nice flow state like no other fighting game in my experience.
Here’s how I think a GoG subscription might work out:
The money goes into a balance on your account. It just accumulates store credit.
You might raise the question of “why would they want to do that”, to which I say:
it’s guaranteed income for them and they make a profit by selling games ANYWAY.
The fact that they get this income consistently is good for their books.
You might also raise the question of “why would anyone want to participate in that”, to which I put to you this:
I want to give myself a “gaming allowance” of a little bit each month but saving is hard. If I am paying GoG a monthly subscription, though, and I accumulate a balance of credit, I can get games without it impacting my budget outside of what I’ve exactly allotted.
What else do I get? The warm fuzzy feeling of supporting GoG. Which I’d definitely do anyway. Honestly, letting me turn my subscription into store credit is a huge boon. I don’t NEED any perks beyond that.
Oh here’s something GoG could maybe do, actually:
an extremely UNOBTRUSIVE cloud storage drive that they say is for Save Syncing (and automates this if you’re running the galaxy app) but that they’ll let you store any arbitrary files in it as long as what’s in it fits within the space they’ve designated for me… and furthermore if this space got bigger the more store credit I have built up, that’d be the tits too.
OH OH OH I thought of two other perks!
What if the cloud storage suggestion also automatically “stored” “copies” (in your “personal” cloud storage box) offline installers for games you’ve purchased so that you can still download them EVEN IF they get “delisted” for sale?
What if your subscription gave you sliiiightly more than the cash value in store credit? Like only 10% bonus.
If I am paying $5.00 per month, they put $5.50 store credit in my balance each month.
I just recently finished this one, and The Man Who Erased His Name. Apparently I've been sleeping on the Yakuza series, because they're fantastic, and have amazing soundtracks.
