@feddit.ukI'm thinking games that have traditionally been in one genre, but that you'd love to see take a complete 180.
Mario + Rabbids, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor and the newly announced Callisto Protocol roguelite.
Maybe you'd like to see a Mario platformer in the style of Cuphead or Meat Boy. Maybe it's a new take on Zelda...by combining it with a turn based RPG.
Let's have some fun and see what we can mash together.
I've got a bit of a system.
I'll add games into my 'To-do' list/Group on whatever system I happen to be playing on. Then eventually get around to spending half an hour with it. If I enjoy it, I'll keep playing until it's done or I've decided I've had my fill.
If I've decided I'm enjoying it, but don't have the time or that I'm not in the right headspace for it, the game moves into my 'I'm not done with you' list/group; and I'll eventually find the time for these games... eventually. Games like Hollow Knight and Outer Wilds have come out of this group, and I've enjoyed them greatly.
If I don't enjoy that half an hour, I usually ditch the game entirely and it gets thrown into the metaphorical trash bin, never to be heard from again.
Why half an hour? Well, I don't have much time so the idea of spending 3-4 hours of time to see if a game is worth my time is..kinda impossible for me. The thirty minutes gives me a little time to evaluate if I'm interested in continuing, whilst also forcing me to actually play some of these games.
What's your system?
Like a photograph issued from Buckingham Palace, the weekend is gone, and it's time to regale us with tales of what you've been playing over the last few days. And more importantly, do you think it's any good?
Okay so work with me a little here. You've just been tasked with recommending a game to someone who's got very little experience with gaming.
Maybe they're a kid who's just starting out, or maybe they've just never had much interest in videogames.
What one game are you giving to them to show what videogames can be
Morrowind is an Open-World Fantasy RPG, the third entry in the mainline Elder Scrolls series. Popular and well received on release, going on to sell more than 4 million copies. Nowadays it is often seen as clunky and difficult to get into, but those who put in the work are rewarded with one of the best games of all time.
I love this game, but I didn't always. Skyrim has been my favorite game since I first played it a decade ago, so of course I wanted to play the previous games in the series. But everything in Morrowind went against my natural instincts. Quests felt confusing, fog is everywhere, and despite being open world you are usually pushed to travel through narrow trenches. There are guards in the main city, who once offended, will NEVER forgive you. What ended up working for me was a full focus on the main quest. Once I'd defeated the evil powers of Dagoth I felt like Vvardenfell was truly mine.
I wouldn't feel right making a post about TES 3 without mentioning the alienness of everything. Most other Elder Scrolls games are pretty close to the standard fantasy setting. Morrowind is not. Everything is bug or crab like, the palletes are dismal, and the people are strange and just as hostile as the environment. You really feel like you exploring a foreign land. Its something I hope they recapture in the next TES game (if it ever comes out)
What I love about Bethesda RPGs is that they are first person, and focused on completing well written quests. We are starting to see this genre take off, and some good prospects are releasing soon. But the selection is still limited. If you enjoy this style of gameplay its worth learning the jank to experience the wonder.
Howdy all! Just finished another shift diggin' for gold, and me beard is itchin' for a new vein to explore. What mines games have you been spelunkin playin' this week? Found any diamonds in the rough? Let's swap some nuggets of wisdom in the comments below!
As their name suggests, forever (or evergreen) games are games that don’t have a finale or culmination, as in “The End”. These games have a very high replayability factor (meaning we enjoy playing them over and over again).
Forever games are also timeless. We can pick up these games anytime , be it the day they were released, or a few years later, and play them for months or years. We can even stop playing for a while, pick them up again years later, and they’d still be fun and relevant.
Yay!
Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for joining this lil' community to talk about video games. I'm surprised by how well it's going so far and I've enjoyed having, and reading some really good conversations about games.
So yeah. Thank you for posting, commenting and just being here, and here's to the next 200.
The latest reports are that Sony is getting ready to launch a pro version of the PS5 in the coming year or so. With the PS4 Pro i felt like the extra power made sense; The 4 was a relatively underpowered console when it launched, and the extra juice made sense for players who wanted more bang for their buck.
A potential PS5 Pro doesn't seem to have the same 'value-add'. For many the console has only just become readily available, and with the long-tail the PS4 has had, some would argue we've still not seen the best of what the base model can do.
Thoughts? Are sony overestimating the market for a PS5 2.0? Am I wrong for thinking this is a simple cash-grab? Would you buy an upgraded PS5?
Growing up in the nineties, I rented (or my parents did) a lot of videogames. Namely for the PS1 and the Nintendo 64.
The village rental store would also be the place I effectively traded in games I didn't want anymore (they also let you buy their older games).
What games did you used to rent when you were younger, and did you have any go-to games that you remember fondly?
