Aside from the joy of playing Injustice as a comics fan, I really really enjoyed that I could find something fun about playing each character. My top 2 are definitely Green Arrow and Batgirl, but it starts to get harder to choose from there. I definitely would also put Solomon Grundy and Batman up there too, I totally get why you have them in your top roster.
I never owned Injustice 2 and unfortunately didn’t get to play enough of it to choose, let alone get to try all the awesome new characters they added. I’m sure a day will come at some point where I finally get a real upgraded gaming experience and can then get the sequel for myself!
It’s always nice to see someone else that really liked Dead Money! There’s something really intriguing about the challenge of surviving the Sierra Madre without all the fancy gear and weapons I’d been relying on for so long. Assembling the ragtag team of prisoners was fantastic too – Dog/God, Dean Domino and Veronica’s-very-own Christine was quite the cast. The only thing I didn’t dig about Dead Money was the VATS glitch with the Holorifle that causes the game to get stuck in the VATS combat animation with no way out. I didn’t confirm it as a bug until the third time it happened (but luckily after the second time I was smart enough to save immediately before testing the rifle in VATS again to see if that was the cause).
I just used the built-in spoiler controls on the Eternity app which appear fine on there but must not be set up to work outside of the app?
Whatever the reason, thanks for the heads up! Turned my laptop back on to edit it as an extra precaution since I’ve never had a problem with the browser style controls.
In Stardew Valley one of the questions the game asks during character creation is “what is your favorite thing?” where you can type anything you deem fit for you (and your character). Without knowing why it asks this (or completely knowing why) means that an honest answer like “tits” can happen organically or specifically just for the chuckles.
Throughout the game, every time you find a Stardrop that increases your total energy bar, you are reminded of whatever favorite thing you entered at the start of the game.
Disco Elysium is a fantastic one. There are an insane amount of choices that shape how you go about the investigation of the hanged man and ultimately what happens beyond that investigation. Choices of who to side with, how to side (openly or playing multiple sides, etc.), choices that ultimately define what kind of detective you are (by-the-book boring, superstar douchebag, violent tough guy, Sherlock Holmes-esque genius, etc., including my favorite: Twin Peaks Lynchian detective that bases their decisions off of dreams, intuition and imaginary conversations with the dead body), and even how failing or succeeding at something can lead to progress in very different ways. If you fail to hit that person you tried to punch, or miss that shot with your gun, or utterly fail to convince someone to help you, you progress through in very different ways so that failing your way to the truth is just as satisfying and entertaining as succeeding your checks to get there.
And of course Fallout: New Vegas. Whether you choose to support the New California Republic, Caesar’s Legion, Mr. House, or a truly independent New Vegas, none of them are perfect. Each succeeds in an ideal society in some ways but completely fails at others, leaving you to decide which imperfect system you feel is the right one for the world instead of shoving an obvious answer in your face.
Holy freakin moley I never knew this, that means I might be able to give it a shot on my mac sometime even without this new port. For anyone else as unfortunate as me that’s gaming on an old mac, I found the tutorial for how to set this up by Eggyhead.
Perfect Dark with dual analog controls is something I’ve wanted to exist and now it does! No Mac support though, gonna have to maybe take another look at clearing things out to make room for boot camp.
