Elder millennial, here. One of the weird things about the 90s was cereal boxes marketed to little bastards like me at the time would often have some kind of toy included in it.
PC gaming was kind of in its infancy and growing rapidly in popularity, so eventually the inevitable happed: a cereal company promoted their cereal by shoving a fucking CD into it, that little bastards like me lost their shit over, installed, and played the snot out of.
Cornflakes is cereal. AoE is Age of Empires, you might have heard about it. The comment I replied to was talking about games being released in cereal boxes. Where is the context lacking?
That had to be wild to work on. You get brought into the kickoff meeting for what you assume is going to be some soulless marketing gimick, then they start laying it out.
It had a plot, a decent amount of levels. There was a good amount of heart that went into that.
There are several games in that series, most if not all of which are on GOG for cheap. I recommend Caesar III (don't bother with IV), Zeus, Pharoah and Cleopatra. They all follow the same basic formula and are a lot of fun.
Since i’m a console player mainly i find myself trying to use a controller when playing pc. However, i recently started playing half life 1 which didnt have a controller option and its gotten me more used to the idea of using keyboard and mouse
I play a lot of FPS games and I’ve always been a PC player come up playing with keyboard and mouse. However, I tend to find controllers to just be more ergonomic and more comfortable. To me, the best way to play is simply controller with gyro aim.
I love my Steam Deck for this and I also love my Steam Controller, however I find it to be a bit too big for my small hands, which is a big problem that I have with it, because this thing is so innovative, it’s just so good!
I played Battlefield 1 on my Xbox today. And aiming with just a joystick is horrendous. God I miss the gyroscope every time I can’t have it.
First person shooter or third person game where aim is important, has to be keyboard and mouse. Pretty much anything involvong driving a vehicle, gamepad is better. In games like GTA I often use both, switching as necessary. Mostly I play FPS games though so KB+M is my most used input method. Some console-focused FPS games such as Halo I’ll play on controller if it’s all that is available, such as with the Steam Deck.
Of course all Atlus games have kind of a similar gamplay, but SMT gams are more challange than most of the others. But with Soulhackers 2, you are about as free with your team as in SMT and is has some challanging enemies you need to prepare youself. But it’s about the same as SMT, so let’s try to find something new.
Maybe the trails games would be interresting for you. Trails of Cold Steel 1-4 or Trailf of the Sky would be two points to start into the series. Sure you have a party with different kind of strengs like in typical jprg’s, but i think the battle system helps a lot if you want to try different kind of strategies on hard bosses. The Trails of Cold steel games are not just turn based games, they have a fighting area you are able to move youself to get near the enemy or get away from the and attack with range attacks. Attack could hit in different areas as well, so you strategy is not just about the skill and attacks you use, but as well about the positioning on the field. Often that helps a lot to overcome enemies. The armor and weapons you equip are also help you do skill your characters very differently. Give a fast character a lot equipment with avoid stat, and this char will probably never been hit again from physical attacks.
A lot jrpg’s have it’s main party and you limited to their abilites, not like in SMT, so probably a monster catching game (SMT is more or less one as well) would be good. I think the Digimon Cyber Sleuth games would proabably a good recogmondation. Yes it’s a Monster Hunting/Farming game you play 3 Digimon at the same time, able ti switch them and all of them heve their elements and atrribute, which gives them advantages and disadvantages over others. I would recommend to play it in hard to get about the difficulty as a SMT game and it could be a fun experience for you.
I’m the mod of a jrpg community, maybe the people there would post more interresting titles, because of haven’t play everything.
I’ve been wasting time with Noita and BG3 as of late. I played Noita before leaving for work today, so the most likely thing to happen is I set myself on fire.
