I find using a note taking application like obsidian or joblin or even just a notebook and when I stop a game or even just periodically write a note and summary of what I was doing and my overall head space like my current goals in the game. Keep me from having to start over. I learn to do this with DnD and it translated over to video games quite well.
I’ve got a Steam family going with my siblings and it makes me feel significantly better about my backlog, because even if I don’t get to it there’s probably something for everyone in the mix somewhere. Plus every now and again it’s nice to break out a random indy game that nobody’s played and just collectively suck together.
Wow. I thought it might’ve been the community rather than my instance, but now I’m thinking not. You can see my swears and those of the guy I asked about the swears, right? Or do they appear as “removed” for you too?
If I never play a game by an indie dev that I bought, oh noooo what a catastrophe I gave an indie artist money without confirming they deserved it!
This meme should only make you feel slimey if you are dropping lots of money on AAA games where the artists who made the game don’t get even remotely a fair share of profits.
Otherwise, giving independent artists to make more art benefits everyone even if you don’t “use” / “need” the art.
Played a bit more Library of Ruina, but couldn’t focus so I ended up looking for something else to play.
Tried Ninja Gaiden (Sigma, from the Master Collection), but while I do like the gameplay I just can’t stand the controls and the camera.
Next I tried Daemon X Machina, it’s fine but it feels rather lacking when compared to AC6.
I tried Final Fantasy X again, and I do find the general story and themes interesting but I can’t care about the characters and the gameplay is mind numbingly boring.
I ended up settling on Final Fantasy V (Pixel Remaster) because of the job system. I don’t really like how the pixel remasters look, but it’s fine.
It’s not bad, I like that it tries hard to be true to the movies. The character likenesses are there, the voice of RoboCop, and the one liners are all there. It plays like a budget title, though. Limited voice cast. Limited gameplay scope, crappy animations, crappy writing. It’s not bad, as long as you go in with budget title gameplay in mind.
The big issue is the buggyness. I’ve had it crash randomly during the first part of the game. Sometimes bugs happen that prevent you from progressing in the game, so you have to restart from a checkpoint. You also can’t quick save and load previous saves. You just get the one auto save. Video cut scenes in game won’t play in sync with the audio. You have to edit the config file to enable HDR, or else the game appears washed out. Mouse movement and fov just feel wrong. There’s a bunch of secondary weapons in the game, but they all suck compared to the auto-9. Fps are inconsistent and there’s a weird bug apparently with how some Nvidia functions are implemented, so using specific setting is necessary to get better frame rate.
Anyway, gripes aside, I loved RoboCop as a kid and it’s nice to play a game that’s true to the character, unlike the loads of shitty RoboCop games we got in the 80s and 90s.
