As long as the core gameplay doesn't suck rear end, MMOs are cool little digital amusement parks. I honestly prefer TES MMO's combat to Skyrim.

I really didn't like WOW as much as I wanted to. The only class that seemed fun to play was the stealth class because you could stack up a sweet alpha strike. Most of their other classes were sustained DPS things where you played the keyboard like a 3rd grade piano recital.

The only MMO I ever enjoyed was the 2D flat runescape from way back. Even as a 6th grader there was a ton of social engineering going on to fleece people of their items and it was fun for me and my evil friends in school to grief people.

I liked the singleplayer gently caress around sandbox idea of Skyrim a lot better than previous TES entries because it didn't immediately place the fate of a world/kingdom/etc on your shoulders.

It feels like Tim Cain made some game he wanted to make in 2004 and didn't change anything about it except a decent visual update. to me the way all the areas and loot works it's more like a first person KOTOR but not as gripping. even if you don't like kotor

Very. It will feel pretty short if you're comparing it to a Fallout game (which you inevitably will) but its considerably better written and scripted. Thr combat system is simple but fun and the game has a good aesthetic as well. You should get it imo.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

No, but I never said it was flawless or even as good as the greatest jrpg of all time (sonic adventure 1)

Outer Worlds was good fun but also pretty simple and didn’t have a huge amount to do away from the main quest. I can’t really see myself playing through it again.

Outer Wilds is legitimately one of my favourite games ever, on the other hand

It's serviceable. The plot is dumb nonsense but creative. Visually very appealing but there's about a third the amount of game it feels like early on.

It's actually way more Mass Effect but with dumb Fallout jokes that don't fit the setting. Like the robots look incredibly stupid "because Fallout" which is interesting since Fallout has a good story reason to look the way it does.

Big Huski Boi posted:

New Order was good but The New Colossus is pretty clearly designed to suggest you should sneakily kill the captains or whatever and prevent them from triggering alarms, yet most of the levels are so wide open that it's impossible to play with any kind of stealth. I just turned the difficulty down to its lowest setting and blasted through everyone.
I bought a new PC in november; my back log is monstrous and XGP adds new games every other week so until I've cleaned it out I'm not going to bother with stuff with broken stealth and weird slog fights.

when i beat outer worlds, the ending slides said the only npc companion who has any thought put into them had died even though they didn't, so it didn't show what actually had happened to them in my game. i believe that's fixed so you can't have it happen to you. sorry

For a cheesed burger? No better condiment than a good special sauce/thousand island dressing.

For dipping chickey tenders into? Gotta go with a high quality Bleu Cheese.
