I agree that the original is tighter, but I love the free-form adventure of 2.

Did you ever play it modded? The Restoration Project, Updated has two amazing addons that add more talking heads and more voice acting and they're both of phenomenal, basically seamless quality. It's really like putting on a fresh coat of paint on the old thing.

Played it? I voiced a talking dog in it!

Fallout 2 is probably one of my favourite games of all time. Absolutely amazing game, if a bit sprawly. I've played through it many times and expect I will do again.

Red Alert 2 - the pinnacle of the isometric RTS genre. Bordering on too silly but without tipping into absolute farce. Mechanically very strong, the art is lovely, and even has nostalgia for me.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Massive game but a run can be completed relatively quickly. I always disable the music because I don't like games that try to scare and intimidate me. I'm pretty good at the game so it tends to be pretty relaxing for me, if a bit fugue-state-y.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: the apex of the Battlefield multiplayer games for me. The others have plenty going for them, but BFBC2 was the best compromise between destructibility, player counts, etc. for my tastes. Sniping took significant skill and one couldn't go prone - it meant that open areas didn't feel like a death sentence (looking at you, later BF games!).

Assassin's Creed: Origins/Odyssey two open world games with beautiful maps and locations to explore. I think I preferred the setting of Origins but the story of Odyssey. A bit of escapist fantasy, I suppose. I loved the Ezio trilogy too, mind you.

As long as you're enjoying your gaming time, you're doing it right!

Optimising the fun out of it is an own-goal.

That only holds true if the price doesn't vary over time.

To be fair, FoMO can be justified. That multiplayer game isn't going to be worth playing in five years time. That game that has cool new tech isn't going to dazzle once things move on, etc..

I have something in the region of a thousand games collected over about twenty years. If the price is good and it looks like I might like it (and I can afford to fritter the money away) then I buy it.

That's a thousand (ish) opportunities for entertainment, not a thousand (ish) obligations.

I buy games to have a library to pull from when the mood takes me. If I finished them all then I would no longer have that, which seems bad.

The reward for finishing a "backlog" of games is having nothing more to play. That's like trying to finish a meal in a restaurant quickly to get to the after dinner mint.

I despise treating gaming as an obligation like this. I have a collection of games, not a "backlog".

Sounds like I'm never going to have a reason to buy a current generation console.

I watched the video they released the other day and stopped half way through. It looked rather dull and also ugly, unfortunately.

How is there no middleware available for NPC movement? It looked tremendously stilted. Similarly the lighting and environments looked worse than things I was playing fifteen years ago. I don't need cutting edge but it looks distractingly ugly to me.

Mechanically I like 64. I'd like a few more tracks, particularly for the battle mode. The later versions add far too much cruft for my tastes.

I played it when it was new and I'm afraid some people just don't get the magic of the gameplay. I'm one of those people. The setting is gorgeous but the action side of things bored me. It felt like homework I had to do before the game would let me see the next bit of the setting.

I wouldn't really call it a "trap". If you're buying a console when it's new at full price, sure, you're being taken for a ride, but give it a couple of years for stuff to be cheaper and it can work out reasonably well.

I used to be a major PC gamer but eventually the cost/benefit calculation went completely off the rails.

That said, I've not upgraded to the current console generation because I'm still waiting on something to justify it.
