Brutalmoose (moose2 on YouTube) is the comfiest channel I’ve ever watched and the community he’s cultivated is excellent and full of nice people. He plays a lot of retro and fairly unknown games. He set up a bingo system where he draws a number, plays a game (starting with Windows 98) for 15 minutes, then everyone watching decides whether to play another 15 minutes or pass and draw another number+game. “Bingo98” was the first. It’s excellent and very funny.
Bloom and Rage is a perfect example of this. It’s a complete horrible garbage mess of soulless characters, terrible voice acting, horrible sound mixing, and a trash story and somehow it’s very positive. There are some negative, sane comments. I loved Life is Strange 1, but hooo boy is Bloom and Rage bad. It’s about a band and the music is not even music. It’s very funny, though.
Oh no, I meant Lost Records hahaha. It’s completely horrible in every aspect, to the point of being hilarious. The reviews it’s getting baffle me. It’s easily the worst of them all.
I started Ragnarok Online in 2003 and it is my favorite game of all time. Easily the best sandbox RPG I’ve ever played. I don’t think I’d actually still be here typing this if I never got into it. I met some incredible people. Thank you for mentioning it. I’ve been meaning to try Origins but I haven’t got around to it. I was very sad when they went F2P and added stupid F2P mechanics.
I wish I still had my old account, with my ice pick and my angeling robe on my GC Crusader!
I’m so happy to hear that you, not having nostalgia for it, enjoy it now! Sending love from a very RO oldhead.
Quick edit: to anyone else reading this, RO is a choose your own adventure hat-wearing chatroom and it’s CHARMING. also the soundtrack by SoundTEMP is fucking stellar. “Desert” and “Purity of your Smile” are so good.
Also my unknown-at-the-time queer ass really wanted to hold Moonlight Flower’s hand.
I will scream from the mountaintops that The Hex is his best game. I loved Inscryption so much and thought there was no idea I’d like any of his older games better. Inscryption has better replayability for sure, but I think overall The Hex is a better game. I love it sooooo much and people just get turned off by the graphics, because they don’t understand that there’s a reason they look like that in the previews… and why they can’t show other things.
HYPE! I didn’t play the demo cuz I didn’t want anything revealed. My partner and I will be picking this up right away today! I hope your new game sees great success!
Oh hell yeah! I like you. One of my biggest peeves is reviewers rating something a 6/10 as “okay but kinda bad.” For me, a 5/10 is a serviceable game that I enjoyed, but has some flaws. Not until like 4/10 do I rate “really flawed and needs much work”. I have tons of 5/10 games I really enjoyed.
I think I have three or four 10/10 games period, reviewers throw that out like parade candy!
Oh I could not agree more with all of your points hahaha. I did like the seatruck more than the giant sea base in the first game (I never really used that…) but I also modded my seatruck so it wouldn’t go slower with more cars attached.
I gave the original Subnautica an 8/10 (on a real rating system, where 5/10 is an average game, not trash lawl) and I gave BZ a 6/10. It was good, but the original was amazing.
It’s the dialogue for me. Some of it was just kinda ok. But having other characters to interact with really took away the loneliness aspect that made the first game so good.
