Venator,

That’s a bit more of a rare occurrence: I wouldn’t count on it happening for OW2 as well.

It was even free at some point

Psythik,

To be fair, I wouldn’t pay $1 for no game. If I’m paying money—no matter the amount—I expect to actually get a game.

Do you find it difficult to enjoy everything alone or just games? I don’t really get the sharing thing.

I don’t mean that other people have changed your opinion, but quite the opposite: a game that you think is good and you didn’t know that other people hated it.

duchess,

You might be the first human to actually do that.

Darkenfolk,

It’s more likely that you are just not aware of the influence others have on you. Which is fine, a lot of that stuff is subconscious.

Krudler,

So you are both a liar and semi-literate.

Anything ubisoft makes. Or generally most things big companies make to cater biggest possible amount of people.

bob_lemon,

I disagree. Some of them are actually bad.

reksas,

yes, but medium is the absolute best they can manage

Dual nominations for Paper Mario: Sticker Star & Paper Mario: Color Splash. The only thing I really remember about them is that I played them and they left me without any feelings about them whatsoever.

Most games that dont scale into 100+ hours. I never reach that point anyway.

Anything from Ubisoft

Was gonna say it. This perfectly describes the last few Assassins Creed titles. Not bad enough to put them away, but also not good enough to leave any kind of lasting impact.

Tigeroovy,

Yeah, Assassins Creed was cool at first but they just bled that shit to death with too many releases. It’s hard to keep things fresh when you put out like 10 sequels.

Blackmist,

It’s like chewing gum. You just keep going as it gets blander with no end in sight.

Die Hard: V for Vendetta would be a hell of a crossover.

Square Enix games
(FInal Fantasy, Neir Automata, Sleeping Dogs. Tomb Raiders)

They are all... good - certainly not bad games
But nothing makes them... great

But_my_mom_says_im_cool,

I’ve been frustrated with these Japanese games lately like FF and Yakuza because of the graphics. Japan likes to use an anime style on their character models, which I personally don’t think looks good but whatever. The issue I have is that you walk around in a yakuza or FF or resident evil game and half the characters and NPCs look very realistic and like real people, and the main characters and some NPCs look like anime characters, different bone structure and art style. It’s distracting. I frankly think you stick to anime style or realistic modern style, you can’t just swap between the styles at will within the one game.

Does final fantasy still have invisible enemies that just attack you and put you into battle mode? Cause I found that outdated and stopped playing the games, im done with turn based but especially done with games where you can’t even see the enemy till they just battle you

Nier Automata

How dare you feel this way, you scruffy-looking Nerf-herder!

I am unhappy with your comment! But I respect it, so I hope you have a great day ahead.

SlamWich,

For real - one of the best games, maybe all time. But Square Enix does churn out some meh games.

I had to stop when the villians were monologuing right in the middle of a fight scene, in the most cliched way possible. And this was after some mid gameplay, with a clearly telegraphed rugpull plot point that seemed like it was going to be the centerpiece of the whole story.

CatZoomies,
@CatZoomies@lemmy.world avatar

I think I know what fight you’re talking about, and I understand why some persons would back out of the game at that point.

In general, if one finishes the first playthrough, they’ll get the first ending. This left me with questions so I played it again, and this time you get the game from Android 9S’ perspective. Each playthrough is shorter, and the goal is to get endings A, B, and C. Which makes for a remarkable, unforgettable game. Definitely have to get through the cliches and some of the common JRPG tropes, but the whole experience greatly outweighed those problems such that I could look past them.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey apparently, according to reddit a few years ago, was looked at as being shitty I guess? Not the best one?

It’s the only one I played, and I played it 3 times with ~240 hours. Kassandra is my favorite character ever, in any video game. I loved the world, its beauty, the ships and sea, and shooting arrows through rocks as a demo god.

I’ve still not touched any other assassins game.

Precreation,

Odyssey was really good in a vacuum. Ive heard it described best as that it was a good action RPG set in Greece, but not a good Assassins Creed game. The main issue being that stealth was usually a huge focus in previous titles, but this one seemed to favor general combat and didnt even have the signature wrist blade until the DLC. Also a bunch of the story seemed to return pieces of previous lore, some setup in just the previous game that came out a year prior. Overall though I did enjoy the game!

Madzielle,

Yeah I think you’re right with it being good in a vacuum. That makes complete sense because it was different than the other games.

I have panic disorder, so most games with combat overwhelm me as I’m just constantly afraid. I never got that with this game. Just give me a bow so i can stand hella far away and clear the area before entering it. Thats how I did stealth. I’d take an hour slowly picking off everyone from the fort. Plus, it was really beautiful and emersive. Exploring the map was super fun.

StargazingDog,

I am willing to bet that people who chose the female main character enjoyed this game more.

I suppose Resident Evil 8? The scares weren’t very scary, the exploration was all very fake, and the bosses all showed up for attendance. It definitely functioned, but it didn’t impress in the way previous entries did. It wasn’t frustratingly bad like 5, nor was it interestingly bad like 6. It just felt like a lesser version of what they’ve given me before, somewhere between 4 and 7.

LaserTurboShark69,

My hill to die on is that RE7 and 8 should have been a new IP. I think both the Winters’ story and the overall Resident Evil plot would have stood stronger on their own and forcing them together in such a contrived way dilutes both of them.

The outer worlds . it was just meh in my opinion. Not to be confused with the outer wilds game that I’ve yet to play

TheGreenWizard,

I was going to say outer worlds as well (outer WILDS is a fantastic game IMO) the game was entirely competent, just unimpressive in every way. Except Pavarti, she is a precocious sugar dumpling and must be protected at all costs.

ItsMrChristmas,

Actual conversation had with my wife, who was watching me play near the end:

“That chick is cute. I bet her romance is adorable!”

“She’s aromantic and asexual, you can’t romance her.”

“I bet her quest line is fun”

“Nope. It’s a really boring fetch quest where you set her up on a date with some bland woman old enough to be her mother. She is also very obviously sexually and romantically attracted to this woman.”

“…huh.”

I love Parvati but Drinking Sapphire Wine is a terrible quest.

drosophila, (edited )

I thought The Outer Worlds was violently mediocre, and yeah, its really long uninteresting fetch quest, but:

  • Parvati says she’s not interested in physical affection, but I don’t recall her ever saying she was aromantic. The closest thing I remember is that she feels like she’s better at dealing with machines than people, which definitely doesn’t mean the same thing.
  • I also don’t recall her ever saying anything sexual about Junlei?
  • how old does this woman look to you that you think she could have a 28 year old daughter?

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/c18966c8-c59d-4a83-8952-a6e0350ea12d.webp

TheGreenWizard,

The quest was nothing new sure, but the reason I’m doing the quest? I want her to have the best dam date ever. I just wanted to see her happy and help her get ready for her date. Not sure what they were talking about with her being aromatic, don’t remember that. And about the age thing? not sure what they meant by that either, she looks the same age as Pavarti to me.

Nindelofocho,

Outer Wilds is absolutely superb if/when you get it try to get the DLC too its a good value. Steam summer sale coming up soon if you’re in the states

overload,

Loll, people will never stop getting these confused

KuroiKaze,

Well, I can sort of be impressed with what outer wilds did. I didn’t actually find it all that much fun to play, whereas I completed the outer worlds.
