In Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, the NPC who asks “where are you from” and we get the options “yes” and “no”.

(He has not heard of yes town, nor does he believe we don’t come from anywhere at all.)

Iirc this is an inside joke by the devs.

In Japanese, it’s Hai (yes) town, which evidently was the name of the building they spent a lot of time in during development.

I can’t find any real credible source, but some mentions of it going back 4 or 5 years.

frongt,

And for the translation, they probably just made it a reference to how your only dialogue options in the game are ever yes or no, so when the one NPC asks you an open-ended question, you sound like a weirdo.

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.

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.

Stanley Parable, the entire game is about making fun of the player.

The segment in Ultra Deluxe where the narrator reads mean Steam reviews is so good lol.

towerful,

And you finally get to jump

dejected_warp_core,

There’s a section where, if you continue to avoid the narrator’s prompts to take a specific door, it just brings you to an unfinished room - dev textures and all - while the narrator gives you grief for screwing up the game.

Super Paper Mario’s line “I love going on message boards and complaining about games I’ve never played.” is really good.

dukemirage,

I‘ve never played that game and that is way too tacky.

Multiple games have done it, but something along the lines “try not dying” as the loading screen tip after dying about a dozen times is always funny to me.

Grandwolf319,

If having trouble with game, get better

brsrklf,

In Hollow Knight there’s an accidental one at a pretty climactic moment. Hornet shouts something to get you ready for the big fight. It’s in her usual gibberish language, but lots of people hear it as “GIT GUD!”

“Shoot at it until it dies”

Blood Dragon?

teft,

This is similar to the tip i give anyone starting new in downhill biking.

Just don’t crash.

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile unlocks and offers to let you switch to ‘Pretty Princess’ difficulty if you die too many times in a row.

redhorsejacket,

TIP TEAM!

Try these cool moves, like, playing the game!

“You can change the difficulty at any time in the settings screen” during loading screens after dying always gets me.

DigDoug,

It’s really annoying when you’re dying to instant death pits so changing the difficulty wouldn’t help, though. I’m looking at you, God of War.

Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead! I kinda love how both wacky and coherent the world is

The Portal games, but mostly Portal 2.

Not sure if it’s my absolute favorite, but Pathologic has fascinated me for years.

There are so many strange and unique aspects to the world (especially the Polyhedron, an impossible tower floating above the town) that already make for excellent world building, but when they come together it creates a feeling I haven’t felt from any other world.

You know how Lovecraftian horror has a very distinct feeling? The world of Pathologic makes me feel something vaguely similar, but completely unique - no horror or aliens, but the feeling of powers existing far beyond our understanding combined with people who somehow do understand small parts, and the consequences of their choices affecting everyone… it’s really hard to put into words, but it feels like it created its own genre.

Apart from Mass Effect, Pillars of Eternity, and Deus Ex as others have already mentioned, I’d like to also add:

Grim Dawn.

The conflicts in its Universe feels reasonable, all the factions have their history and reasons of existence, there are beneficial and selfish, but no clear black and white, and everything interacts. The Lore is very good for an ARPG that focuses on combat, loots and built.

Still playing Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, I’m in Master Rank 5* missions now and slowly grinding through, not sure how much farther I’ll keep playing, but it’s still kind of fun.

I’ve also been dipping into the original Hades, I bounced off this game before because it was so grindy, buy I’m following some build guides now and I’ve managed to defeat Hades once, so I’ll stick with it some more.

Love Max Payne 1 and 2.

I am not at all optimistic about the remake.

AceFuzzLord, do games w What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?

If we’re including fan games for preexisting games, I so far absolutely love Pokemon Empire, the Reborn style difficult fan game set in a region that basically just finished a full-on civil war and you and a friend are finally able to return to the region. Not really spoilers since you are basically told that in the first part of the game.

I am not gonna give away spoilers if possible, but the region feels like it’s divided after the war, which gives it a more real feeling than any official game or basically any fan game. Various NPCs question whether things were better before the war, some want the old monarchy back in power, some are more in favor of the new government, etcetera. It feels less like a typical run through the gyms, defeat evil team, beat elite 4 and champion style game so far with what I have played and how far they are in development.

I like how the writers didn’t just decide to make everyone into a hivemind of “villain team bad!” ( or more than likely just ignore them, like in majority of the official games ) and have people who support them and people who start to question whether or not the villains are in the wrong or not.

I also like how in the tilesets they used, some parts of the region look like they are wartorn to a degree and are a region that is starting the rebuilding process.

I wanna say more things, but then I’d be spoiling stuff and I really don’t wanna spoil things for this game.

ICCrawler,

The fuck. I’ve never heard of this. Haven’t heard anything that interesting in pokemon since years ago back when I was using smogon university to dig into the meta and play on some online simulator where everyone just locked their pokemon at lv50 and could choose all their IV/EV distribution, natures, and move loadouts for the ultimate meta experiance.

AceFuzzLord,

The fun part about this is I didn’t know it existed until maybe a few years back when someone I watch on yt who plays pokemon fan games and ROM hacks ( HeroVoltsy ) played it. And even then, I think I only found out by scrolling through his playlists.

Will say, just like a lot of fan projects like this, the game requires you to join their discord server if you don’t already have the download link. Sadly probably one of the best and worst ways to try and keep the project going while also keeping the corpo lawyers off their back and also being accessible to the majority of people.

Can’t say I know what simulator you are talking about, though. I think the only one I know of is Showdown.

I’ve started Death Stranding. It’s quite interesting, very calm and relaxing. At least until the enemies arrive.
