Ahh fuck, stuff being published by them was usually a decent sign that it'd be interesting in some way. Best of luck to the actual team, I hope they can put something new together

Districts were a thing in Civ 6, before Humankind came out

Each to their own! I really enjoyed V and have hundreds of hours in it, but I appreciated the changes in VI and felt like it vbecame a stronger game than V overall. I do have more hours in VI. I get that the art style was a little controversial, but I was never playing V for the visuals anyway

For Civ 6, I'd say winning each victory once. Try to do it with different civs each time too. You can set your goal as winning a game on the highest difficulty if you want, but personally I don't find that to be as interesting as the shift in gameplay necessary to win the different victories without just militarily crushing everyone else.

...well I feel really bad about downvoting this one, because it's a really good suggestion

Wipeout. They can continue from Omega, it was great fun. Formula Fusion is a really cool spiritual successor by many of the original minds, but it's a little lacking in content.

Edit: lol, took me four hours to realise that continuing on after Omega rather ruins the title of that one

I was actually slightly put off by how tightly it looked like it was imitating the first couple of Wipeout games, like the UI being almost identical and a bunch of the teams being the Wipeout ones with the serial numbers filed off. Like they're unwilling to try their own ideas, you know? If it's so similar, well I can still play the old games. I assume you feel differently?

Hah, well maybe I pre-judged it too much. I'll keep an eye out for a sale on it

I really wanted to love ESO, and I'm delighted that they'e actually using the weirder lore sometimes, but it never felt like it rewarded my exploration. Like I never learned aything new about a place by finding stuff in it.

Games I enjoyed playing with my then-gilfriend:

• Castle Crashers. 2.5D side scrolling action
• Skyrim Together, although this requires at least one of you to have a decent level of understanding to get things to work smoothly
• ibb & obb, puzzle
• Portal 2, puzzle
• Shadow Puppeteer, puzzle

I don't think that should be terribly surprising. Both those games are targeted at specific niches. They were notably successful for gaining popularity beyond their niches, but they were still niche products. Elden Ring is still incredibly obtuse and will fucking murder you out the gates and just expect you to pick yourself up and try again. BG3 is a D&D game that expects you to know the tabletop version to a degree. Both are awesome, but they're aimed at narrower markets

Fair enough on Elden Ring actually, I looked up the sales numbers and it did do very well for any videogame rather than "just" very well for a FromSoft game as I had thought

It is working for me, at least. The spoilered text is a good summary of the idea too

This is a healthy attitude. The game offers "easy mode" in the sense that you can use tools like summons, magic, just plain old grinding until you're massively levelled, and so on, but if you're not enjoying it then there's no point playing. It's okay for a game to not be for everyone and good for people to recognise that it's not for them.

I really enjoy the games but fuck me there's no way I'll ever be taking on Malenia. I could use summons and stuff, but what I actually like is the one-on-one dodging fights, so if I did I'd just be doing it to have done it. That's fine. I just have to evaluate the game based on what I get from the rest of it

To be fair they're still right to say that there are no difficulty settings on that film, it's just set at fuck you difficulty from the beginning

It's okay for people to not want to take several hours to learn to play a videogame. I say this as someone who has taken the time and likes this game a lot

Other people have mentioned Paradox several times, and they are unquestionably the big name of the grand strat genre. Their main games are:

• Hearts of Iron. WW2 setting, pretty much exclusively about war. If you want to flex your strategic skills, this is the one to get.
• Victoria. The 100 years before WW2. Primarily about industrialisation. Victoria games have by far the most in-depth economy systems.
• Europa Universalis. These ones are about the era of European colonialism, spanning three to four hundred years with the Napoleonic wars at the end. EU4 is pretty the most like a Total War campaign map in feel.
• Crusader Kings. 700 years of feudalism. The map in these ones is limited to Europe, the western half of Asia, and the north of Africa. Distinct in that you play as a dynasty rather than a country. These ones are the most roleplay-heavy
• Stellaris. This is the only one I haven't played, so I'm afraid I can't say much about it

Never mind the depths I was already on edge when I met the fucking crashfish

Very interested in this. I haven't played Myst, because I've just always found point-and-click to be quite unpleasant. Do I need to have played it to understand what's going on here?

I am seeing that there was a remake of Myst in a similar fashion, so I will take a look at that in its own right

Thank you!
