JokeDeity, do games w Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?

I find the word “service” off-putting. I want to buy things outright and own them. I do not want recurring fees.

SCB, do games w What game has a great story and is worth the time investment?

I definitely recommend Control, since a lot of games you like have big epic set pieces as well as an engaging story. That game is insanely rewarding if you’re willing to put the time and effort into looking for “collectibles” and piecing the game together. Very cool atmosphere and fun to play as well. You really get out of this one what you put into it.

Bioshock Infinite got shit on by both racists and leftists who completely missed the point of the game, but the ending is the best of the Bioshock series IMO and stuck with me longer than most anything else I’ve played. Lots of big cinematic moments, too.

Guardians of the Galaxy is slept on imo and has some amazing moments, and while the story is a retread of things the GotG comic has done, if you’re not a big comic reader, you won’t know, and if you are, you’ll be jazzed about how things are represented.

BG3 is incredible and the hype is well-deserved. The replayability is genuinely off the charts. Ive begun 4 playthroughs and beat it once and have not played the same game twice. Main story is the same but the variability in motivation, drive, and interactions is simply incredible. It is THE CRPG, and this is coming from someone for whom BG2 is my favorite game of all time.

New Vegas is New Vegas. It’s a shining example of what gaming can be for a reason. Needs no explanation (other than “don’t go north at the start”).

MaverickWolf,

I came here to say Guardians of the Galaxy. The gameplay is fine, but the story and music in the game are awesome! I keep trying to get people to play it.

I find the lack of Space Quest titles in this thread unsettling. For me, it’s Space Quest IV, but they are all absolute gems.

Stillhart,

I prefer Leisure Suit Larry, but I’ll upzipper any Sierra game!

turtlepower, do gaming w What's the funniest game you've played?

Conker’s Bad Fur Day on N64 was definitely up there.

insurgenRat,

I was like 12 but it was funny as shit. I think now a lot of the humour might fall flat now the zeitgeist has moved on but that storming of the beach against the teddybears still cracks me up remembering it.

turtlepower,

Having to piss out fires and flowers with tits will forever be in my memories lmfao!

mojo,

The mighty poo boss was a masterpiece

turtlepower,

I still to this day sing that song from time to time. Absolute fucking masterpiece indeed.

Pulp, do piracy w Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?

I may buy a game on great sale to maybe play later

If I pirate it, it’s because I want to play it asap

rich, do gaming w What's wrong with the Saints Row reboot again?

Sanitized crap compared to the originals. The fun and excess were part of the joke, and all of that was removed.

Horizon Zero Dawn. The sequel is likely even more beautiful but I haven’t played it yet

It's good! A bit "You have five minutes to save the world, but please take the time to do my side quest", but good!

loops,

fr lol. My first play through I completed the storyline but wasn’t able to fit the Frozen Wilds into the narrative.

brandon, do gaming w Am I going crazy?

Memory is a funny thing, don’t beat yourself up over it. Every time you remember something, the memory itself is altered in your mind. We know now that you didn’t have a 7600X, but I think it can also be true that you remembered buying one.

essellburns, do gaming w What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?

Are you aware of what a big deal Baldurs Gate series, especially 2, were when they launched back at the millennium?

No, I’m not OP but I’m on the same bandwagon and for me this is the first BG game I hear about.

mojo,

Okay don’t fall off your rocker grandpa

tonytins, do gaming w The Steam Deck is changing how normies think of gaming PCs.
@tonytins@pawb.social avatar

I love my Steam Deck.

StringPotatoTheory, do games w Questions about coop in baldurs gate 3

My partner and I played through Divinity Original Sin 2 many times with co-op, and now we are playing through BG3 and we are having the time of our lives. It’s really really good. It’s like co-op in DoS2 but I’d say it’s even better.

Just make sure you recruit someone and they recruit someone to your party (just like in DoS2) so you both get to control another character. But it’s really easy to switch out party members if they are in your camp.

illumrial,

You can also go to session and switch NPC control to your other person if you accidentally had one person recruit two people.

StringPotatoTheory,

I didn’t know that! Thanks I’ll have to keep that in mind.

NoName977,

Sounds amazing, thanks for your opinion!

marcoprolog, do games w What are some RPGs for someone who doesnt like most RPGs

I couldn’t see anyone mentioning so I would add Disco Elysium

Not your typical RPG by any measure, but one of my top favorite games of all time, more focused on exploration and talking/decisions rather than fighting. Also has a unique mechanic where “stats” are connected to mental attributes that talk with the character by offering advice, insight, or just poor suggestions depending on your level :D

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I love Disco Elysium with all my heart, but suggesting it to a person who talks with emphasis about combat systems and strategic depth is sort of dangerous.

Disco Elysium is a novel masquerading as a game. If you like that and approach it as such, it can be extremely rewarding, but there isn’t much gameplay to be had.

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

I explain Disco Elysium as the best book I ever played.

all-knight-party,
@all-knight-party@kbin.cafe avatar

It is basically a visual novel where you're able to walk around the world and interact with things. The only gameplay is making choices, but there are an incredible amount of choices to make.

@mmorschel@feddit.de avatar

Why not try out Western CRPGs?

I gather from what you’re writing, that you’re trying to get into JRPGs.

If you want action-laden fights without random encounters, I suggest the “old” BioWare RPGs:

  • Mass Effect Trilogy
  • Knights of the old Republic 1 + 2
  • Dragon Age Origins (never played the sequels)

They’re old but gold and still one of the best.

And there are still:

  • The Witcher 3 and
  • Cyberpunk 2077

I will say that I hate to call something like Cyberpunk an RPG at all. It feels almost entirely like a shooter, with the RPG parts somewhat tacked-on. This is more evident even with the missing 6th spec tree and how, even after massive rebalancing, the whole level-up and spec-system are entirely irrelevant without a lot of mods.

Don’t get me wrong, modded the system works well.

But as installed, it’s just all rubbish and feels almost forgotten by the devs.

mmorschel,
@mmorschel@feddit.de avatar

OP asked for “RPGs for people who don’t like RPGs”.

And yes Cyberpunk has all of that:

  • Story, Conversations and Decisions
  • Quests
  • Skill and Leveling system

It’s a proper RPG but with a huge focus on the shooter/action part and yes, in my opinion it lacked on the Quest and interaction part.

But I wouldn’t say that the battle system alone defines a RPG, see Mass effect 2 + 3 and the Witcher.

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah true, you’re right. Nevermind my comment. 😅 Especially on the background of wanting an RPG for non-RPG players.

cottonmon,
@cottonmon@lemmy.world avatar

Isn’t Cyberpunk 2077 also based on the RPG system with the same name?
