IMHO BG3 completely destroyed the curve. Even if you don’t like the genre, you have to tip your hat to what was accomplished in that game. It blew away Skyrim, Fallout 3, and all the classics in the genre and completely set a new level. The last time I was that impressed with a game was probably Ultima IV.
Far cry 3 did have memorable characters but IMHO BOTW is a vastly more enjoyable game to play. The difference in gameplay is massive to me. I never finished Far Cry 3 as it was tedius to play, whereas I happily finished BOTW enjoying every minute.
I’m 50 and really don’t watch movies almost at all any more. They tend to be so formulaic and too long to watch at home at night. If I’m going to watch something it will likely be episodic tv series. I do still play video games on the regular though.
I’ve finished 3 fallout games but fortunately don’t remember any of it well enough for any of this to mean anything to me so I can just enjoy the show.
Only on first episode but also very pleasantly surprised. I expect very little from Amazon and often think of cancelling it but I’m only paying about $4.00 a month so don’t end up bothering. This month I’m getting my money’s worth.
What have you all been playing! Still on my usual binding of Isaac and helldivers grind, but I’m also getting back into elden ring to get ready for the dlc coming later this year! 🤩
Just for the heads up, this thread will probably have a lot of spoilers. I’m gonna try to go vague on spoilers for anybody that hasn’t played Hotline Miami 2. If you’ve played the game, you’ll probably know what I mean, but I’m going to say some purposefully esoteric shit to keep it out of full spoiler territory....
If it has backwards compatibility then yes. If not then I guess it doesn’t really matter. I won’t have much interest if they don’t finally embrace backwards compatibility like everyone else.
I got a Quest 2 a while back and played around with it a bit. There were some entertaining games like “I expect you to die” and the first portion of “Lone Echo”, but mostly they just felt like proof of concept demos and I quickly lost interest....
I was just answering OP’s question. Real AAA titles are few and far between, but most of them are on PSVR2 and PC. I am a quest owner and have had lots of nice experiences in Quest, but none of them qualified as AAA to me.
Ever since the language puzzle in Tunic that got me to fill up 6 pocket sized pages of notes over multiple days while trying to puzzle it out as I tried to and, eventually, succeeded at translating the in-game “paper” manual, I’ve had a craving for games that force you to pull out a notebook and take notes/puzzle things...
