I’m a pessimist. The price increase won’t hurt them unless they lose more than 33% of the user base. Which is a big number of people choosing to change a habit/lifestyle.
Even if they do lose that amount, they could walk back the 50% and wait a few months and “only” increase it by 20%. People will feel good that they owned the big corpo and the big corpo still manages to increase profit.
Super Mario World (SNES) - my first video game and the reason I eventually wanted to learn about computers
Final Fantasy VIII - my parents accidentally bought this for me instead of VII that I asked for. It was not a good impact, it was during formative years of my life and I looked up to the broody/loner main character and tried to emulate him, but in real life that just made me act an asshole and be lonely
World of Warcraft - this was probably an addiction and took too much of my college life. Haven’t played an MMO since I quit. Still reminisce about it.
SimCity 4 - forced me to think about systems, which I think indirectly shaped my career path
Kerbal Space Program - made orbital mechanics intuitive and made me interested in all things space
i remember wow was addiction to people in my HS, in the mid 2000s, im glad idnt play it. also it costs money so i never had interest. STARCRAFT/red alert CNC was pretty much got me more interested in space related topics(i did not pursue the field, because i wasnt really good with physics/high level math courses)
There was something about that summer, and the way this game (especially through Twilight Town) delved into the theme of an “everlasting summer” …it was a magical year. And that year of my life still resonates with me till today.
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 were some of the first games I ever beat as a kid. I remember getting through all the credits and immediately starting over lol. I still do a play through if them both every few years. I played the third one once, it’s flashy but doesn’t hold a candle to the first two.
Both Psychonauts games had this exact same dopamine release. I spent all of my time playing both as they both came out right around the time of a close family member dying and the games were my outlet for those emotions at the time. Very special games to me.
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (the first one). This one was my complete entrance to the RPG games and i was so soaked into the atmosphere and the characters. And well of course Witcher 3. For me the best game ever. Setting, characters, story, choises…
Osu!, but not in the good direction… the game might have deleted what little confidence I have left in myself and gave me crippling perfectionism issues. Also permanently changed my music taste. May or may not have set me up on a hyper-competitive career path as well so there is that. Upside is… I’m fun at the club and the arcade maybe??
I loved and competed in various trading card games throughout high school however once married with kids I could no longer afford the hobby. Dominion caused a surge in the deckbuilding genre and ultimately led to my first published game design. Now board games and tabletop RPGs are a favorite for spending time with family and friends.
There’s a number of the games that notably effected me after completion. Star Fox (SNES), Halo: Combat Evolved, Morrowind, KOTOR 1&2, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Dead Space, Hotline Miami, Undertale.
Man, I am jealous of how much you get to play, lol. I am literally at the last hour of this game from when it first released, but I haven’t been able to finish it since… same goes for everything I play. I recently saw you going through the last of us 2, and it’s the same for that, but im only about halfway. List goes on and on and I haven’t picked up anything really in the last year that’s not a free monthly game.
I think your post is going to motivate me. Im going to try and beat it this week and break my awful no finish streak.
Doing these screenshots definitely has helped to give me a clear goal when completing games. Before i used to bounce around my backlog and not finish anything. Hell, i still do it from time to time lol
I ended up going to google it for the original and found out it was a common enemy. It just so outlandish i wanted to know what the original context was. It is interesting to know it was always kind of out of place though
Lol I feel like they added it simply because of all the people saying that of all Midgar enemies, there’s no way it’d fit in. Tbf, they truly jumped the shark with this one out of spite for what they could or should do in their game.
