megalovania is one of the badasses in my book

reminds me of that ecce homo restoration

vampire the masquerade bloodlines. the classic one had a bumpy release but patches and community work made it fun.

the supposed to be new one got cancelled. i forgot. budget reasons maybe.

ohhh, good to know they didn’t stop development!

i had thought the project got shelved from that change in dev teams.

i don’t think they are polarising. imo, 77% is mid. nothing bad with a “just okay” game. sometimes you just want to play the experience of a new familiar world and this is it.

with tiktokers though, a mid game has less to talk about and so their narratives make what little or so difference sound like a big deal. sensationalism is where the money is for them.

i guess a good list of fair and reliable sources would help out here.

Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch.

i am amazed at how they were able to connect the dots with this one. naturally, like twitch is instantly a game store.

or am i missing a feature they had to bridge a gap here?

they got some good games, but the uplay shenanigans was really a deal breaker for me.

i wish gog will pick some retro up in a few years so i can get back to playing some.

chronoark lets you die and counts your deaths for you.

anything agatha christie/ hercule poirot is light detective work (good for kids and or newbies) with optional handholding

i remember there’s some good mystery modules with neverwinter nights

morrowind quests don’t coddle at all. they all look like journal entries.

the part i like the most with the stanley parable is how the narrator (lines and voice acting) has handled each game route.

i feel there’s a mix of excitement and teasing there that makes you follow his lead.

also to add is the clarity of the voice. i didn’t need subs when i played the game.

The boss is quite in touch of how modders work.

Thomas the tank engine better be in there.

those always online “single-player” games aren’t what you think.

your ads and tracking friends are always interested in playing with you.

Would games that ride on to their ancestor’s titles count?

It’s reasonable to not expect final-for-real-fantasy <N> to not be the same as final-for-real-fantasy <N-1>. But since it is marketed this way, is it the norm to expect great things?

Games that don’t explicitly use numbers can be considered in this scheme too. Example: A game called “Barcraft: Burps and Germans: Oktoberfest” would count.

fate/ stay night and other visual novels fit this category. steins gate is also a notable one.

somnium files have a lighter version in terms of gravity of decisions.

you can kill people in morrowind and oblivion.

a good bethesda-like game that comes to mind is kingdom come: deliverance

I agree the consequences can be baffling, but sometimes it can be straight up funny overblown too.

I think the inspiration to this is the butterfly effect and how the main’s decision can cause (huge) side effects but somewhat not to what he wanted.

speaking of blowing minds, there’s that quest about witches in the forest.

I thought I’d be fighting with super natural and magic but it became another magical thing altogether.

I feel publishers are doing small stabs at originals while doing full milk-yo-wallet efforts with remakes/remasters. Pretty conservative approach, imo.

I feel I need to turn a crank. It feels tedious at first, but it gives me some power to make scrap metal.

so far web browser only.

to add to this great suggestion, I usually tell myself it’s okay that my first game is a blind run and I can always adjust/ change course the more I go into the lore.

Some games are worth a second run and it will show.

cookie clicker, that chromium dino game. I think I also did dark room at some point.
that pokemon browser game. There’s also a taiko game out there. (haven’t checked lately)

this one reminds me of Farcry 4. The one with Pagan Min.

if you just stay and be a good boy, you get a free trip to where you really wanted to go.

It’s easy to not do this because maybe the welcoming committee is not around anybody’s standards.
