They’re all cool if you’re into the games or whatever they cover, imo. Having books on stuff that you’re not familiar with feels weird, imo. Google Books covering your favourite games and stuff and I’m sure you’ll find plenty. But if you don’t care about that and just want cool gamer stuff to put on the coffee table, The Game Console 2.0: A Photographic History from Atari to Xbox might be one of those. There’s a LOTR illustrated edition. There’s a tomb raider cookbook and travel guide. World of warcraft also has tons of cool art and a cookbook. There’s God of war lore and legends. There’s The Art of Video Games from pacman to mass effect, etc. And for more, there’s This site.
If i wasn’t on PC i’d actually look into my library for games because they have a good selection. Unfortunately my Xbox has been stolen by my siblings and is enjoying it’s retirement in the living room, my Switch decided it didn’t want to be here anymore and just… let the battery go out and somehow the heatsink oxidized (though, as much as i disagree with the Switch 2’s price point, i’m looking into one since for me it’d be a Switch 1 + a 100$ investment for a new system. Plus im fortunate enough to be in a situation where i can afford one and let my friends try it so they can decide for themselves), and i haven’t really had an interest in a PS5.
For the brief moment i had the consoles though, the library was a godsend. I wish more people took advantage of them because they’re one of the most important public resources around i’d say
I bought Octopath Traveller 1 when it was on sale a while back. I loved 2 but never got around to 1. With Octopath Traveller 0 on the way and being a prequel to 1 it high time to play 1. I’m enjoying it so far but I miss some of the additions 2 has.
Also playing Tony Hawk 3+4. It’s great but the soundtrack is not even close to as good as 1+2 is.
They literally ssid they kept the mechanics running on the original engine so the game retains its “bethesda charm” and upon playing it, it became immediately obvious that Todd 100℅ believes what was charming about their games is the jank and bugginess. 🤦♂️
I really hate the fact that Morrowind was such a landmark, amazing, beautiful game in nearly every way (for the time) and they have managed to regress on every single front from that in every single game they have made after.
I agree with Todd in the sense that the jankyness is part of Oblivion’s charm. However, I believe that the jankyness only works in a game from 2007, which has weird graphics and an overall surreal vibe. The jankyness is not charming in the dark fantasy of Skyrim nor in the hyper-realistic remake/remaster (whatever people call it).
Ninja Gaiden Ragebound: Not finished yet, but having a total blast playing it. Great/responsive controls, level design is great and enemies telegraph their attacks properly, like it should be in an action game
Street Fighter 6: Gave Sagat a try
Slay the Spire: Acension level 18, want to make it to 20 before the 2nd part gets into early access
I remember a while back, thinking I’ll be done with StS once I beat ascension 20. Then, I’ll just get 20 with the first three characters. Now I’m eyeing the leftover achievements. Never ends. StS2 will destroy me lol.
Same for me. I put an unholy amount of time in StS on all platforms and haven’t all achievements yet! :-) OTOH, there are worse ways to waste your lifetime. ;-)
