A few, but that's just Metroid 2, honestly, fighting the same 3 or 4 variations for most of the game.

Metroid 2 was the only Game Boy game I ever beat. I guess it was also one of eight Game Boy games I ever played, including Super Mario Land, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Donkey Kong, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Amazing Spider-Man and Star Trek: 25th Anniversary

I remember having this Game Boy game that was a side-scrolling platformer and you played a dude with a staff that could sometimes shoot like fireballs and the whole gist of the game was to like fight pollution or something. I think your dude looked like a ninja? That game was rad. Zen: Intergalactic Ninja. Apparently it was a comic suuma fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Sep 17, 2018 |

I played Link's Awakening before I ever played a Mario game with a Yoshi in it, though I knew what the character was, so L:A having both a chain chomp and a yoshi in it was pretty surreal.

This triggers the rise of Lord Contaminous, who wants the crystal for himself. Zen, also contracted to find the crystal, saves Jeremy Baker, takes him aboard his T-Pod and flies him to his Hypership. Zen contacts the Gordons, who explain the role of the geocrystal, why Lord Contaminous wants it, that Jeremy Baker is Earth's Starchilde and must protect the Earth against pollution. Zen becomes Jeremy's first counselor. Pilot general Karl Lorenz has seen Zen taking Jeremy Baker to his ship and misinterprets this as the abduction of an Earth child by an alien. So now Zen has the army on his back, and he has to prepare for the attack of Lord Contaminous. Luckily, the Gordons left something behind in the cargo bay of Zen's Hypership: a Recyclotron. Back on Earth, Jeremy Baker gathers heaps of garbage and puts the Recyclotron to work. It creates the Recycled Heroes: Can-It, Pulp, Bottle Bandit, Lawnranger and Lights Out. Working together, Zen and the Recycled Heroes are able to defeat Lord Contaminous and his henchmen as well as holding off the army.

I loved Pokemon as a kid but bounced real hard off of Omega Ruby, Black and Y. I think its the pace, having to spend like 4 hours doing what is effectively a tutorial and then the slow battles. If it had a fast-forward button I think i'd be all over it.

Okay so I had to quit Wildstar early because even after managing to deal with how mediocre to terrible the whole game was the last zone (Grimvault) managed to break me. Imagine Silithus from WoW but 10x the size with 10x the mob density, everything takes at least a couple minutes to kill and the quests require you to kill 10-30 mobs each. Add to this the fact that there's no looping music so you're usually in total silence between the obnoxious sound effects, it looks terrible, and whereas every other zone has had like 7-10 arcs/quest hubs Grimvault has !!!21!!!. I thought I could pick away at it since they still haven't announced a day for when the servers are actually going down yet, but when I logged in to try and knock out one of the quest hubs it was like all my gaming enthusiasm was sapped out of my body, and I need that hard drive space, so.. I got to level 46, though, so I'm proud I lasted as long as I did.

cheetah7071 posted:You could just play good games instead of bad games imo Good and bad are relative. There are people who love the Neptunia games and I'd rather be punched in the gut than touch them. Wildstar wasn't a black hole of goodness, I genuinely liked the aesthetic and housing, it just happened to be wrapped up in a thick layer of poo poo.

I was referring to how you thought it was bad and yet still kept playing until level 46, not trying to appeal to some nebulous concept of objective goodness

cheetah7071 posted:I was referring to how you thought it was bad and yet still kept playing until level 46, not trying to appeal to some nebulous concept of objective goodness Oh, well, yeah. Sunk cost fallacy I guess? I'd already gotten so far and up to a point the game was relatively breezy in its progression. Once you hit the larger zones where both factions shared quest hubs it started to drag on, then the last two really slammed on the breaks and you start to feel the influence of old vanilla WoW from the devs there where everything takes three times as long as it should and is half as convenient. Guess I figured I could power through it. I think the fact that the Steam achievements I got for the game were listed as some of the rarest on the platform flipped some sort of achievement hunter switch in my brain. Shows you how horribly the game did, the achievements you get for doing the main story quests of all things are held by less than 1% of all users.

i mean from what i know about the destiny 2 threads there's an entire cult of personality going on over there where the most prolific posters are people with triple digit hours spent in the game that for the entire past year bitched and moaned about how they absolutely loathed everything about destiny 2

It's not amazing, but it's solid enough to have been worth the purchase price. Maybe if you were a diehard fan of the first one it would be a bigger letdown, I dunno.

It's that Destiny bills itself as a Diablo style forevergame but D2 was really thin on content, had several anti-player design decisions, and esports chasing made the pvp way worse than it could have been. The raids still seem like fun but I don't have any friends who would want to try them

My biggest issue with the PVP was that teams were so small if I was having a bad game I felt like I was dragging my whole team down. I prefer larger teams where one person sucking doesn't doom you to a guaranteed loss.

These days I mostly consider "forever games" as games that I come back to for a while when new content launches, rather than as true forever games, and I think I'm happier for it. That said the stars aligned and I'm gonna be raiding again in ffxiv starting tomorrow so

I'm similar, in that I consider FFXIV and WoW to be games I can go back to whenever and always enjoy it right away, to the point where I usually don't even uninstall them if I go months and months without playing as a break. Overwatch too, I guess? Though that depends more on my mood.

The funny thing about the Destiny franchise is that Destiny 1 started out in a somewhat primitive, unrefined state with a dearth of content and some very strange design decisions which you'd think any gamer with half a brain would have averted. But over the years Bungie was able to gradually iron out the kinks, release more content, and bash it into a shape mostly resembling a good, sustainable game. Then for Destiny 2 they threw out all of that and started over in a different primitive, unrefined state with a dearth of content and some different very strange design decisions which you'd think any gamer with half a brain would have averted. The new expansion does seem to be the real deal, though- the game feels completely reinvigorated, with fewer pain points, bad decisions reversed, a ton of stuff to do and more unlocking frequently. I ran one of the raids over the weekend for the first time in months and it was a blast.

Removing anything resembling BTB was the worst part of Destiny 2. The main campaign was fun and the expansions, including the last one, have been pretty good and added 6v6 back in the mix. I just don't think it's good as a forever game, but then, I don't like forever games. Too many good games around to get stuck playing Diablo or some MMO for hundreds or thousands of hours.

Also removing warthogs being a stupid thing about D1 and D2. Also removing all the good progression D1 finally patched in. What the gently caress was that. D2 was literally a re-tread of everything Vanilla D1 hosed up that they slowly fixed over like three years.

I love Halo and I loved Bungie but drat that poo poo is dead to me. Seriously if you bought all of D1 and D2 expansions plus both games, you're in for like $300+. Its approaching Star Citizen levels of greed and fan-squeezing.

It broke up for reasons, and I haven't had the drive to meet new people and get into a new one yet. plus I'm bad at the game
