I've always been the type to play some games a lot. In these modern days I find very few games that really grab me like UT/Nox/Myth 2 did in the past. Let's see though as far as my terrible choice in modern games go I have the following on my laptops desktop. Played to various degrees.

Path of Exile (I don't generally play this on the laptop but I can make trades)
The Binding of Isaac Rebirth (unnecessarily juvenile setting but I did enjoy the game play)
Into the Breach (good)
Dead Cells (good)
Kingdom Rush Frontier (I like the idea of tower defense but the ones available seem to always suck)
Slay the Spire (good)
Cuphead (good)
Sunless Skies (gently caress you game all you had to do was be pretty/good story Escape Velocity but noooo instead you're so loving slow)
Circle Empires (not good, but whatever)
Baba is You (good but I'm not smart enough)
Forts
Neoverse (I don't think I've even opened this)
Minion Masters.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

By golly that's not a nice thing to say. Let me get the soap for that dirty mouth! I think you're really going to drive yourself nuts if you feel obligated to criticize me when I phrase things strangely as I do so with a decent amount of regularity. Also this is the unpopular video game opinions thread and not the "popular opinions towards Duck and Cover" thread maybe keep the attempted insults down to a minimum?

Would such a top hat make me better at video games? I kind of like the steampunk aesthetic in video games but that doesn't yet extend to my personal "fashion".

The only final fantasy I ever played was ff8 so yeah same. I named the main dude "Crow" though for some reason. I think he wore black with feathers and I thought why not.

My favorite FF boss music is The Extreme.

My favorite JRPG is Vagrant Story. Even with the box puzzles. I would sacrifice a thousand FF remakes for another Vagrant Story.

Witcher 3 was a good game but it really didn't grab me unfortunately. I kept looking for quests or characters to care about but they never showed up. I do like sci-fi dystopias and cyborgs more than gritty polish fantasy settings though, so I still have high hopes for Cyberpunk

I feel like there's a game in Witcher 3 that I'd love. The first few hours just feel like walking through a pool of mud to get to it, though. I've played about 3 hours of it over the year+ I've owned it. Every few months I get a little further every time I launch it. I keep hoping that maybe I'll hit a stride like I did with Breath of the Wild.

I didn't find the open world boring but the plot was.

Then you read on here about people saying "the horizon story was awesome and kept me playing" and you realise that other people are playing videogames for very different reasons.

The story itself is a pretty standard heroes journey but the backstory is awesome.

:yeah:

post-apocalyptic games are a dime a dozen nowadays, but I'm a sucker for when they actually have an interesting reason for how/why the world got hosed beyond "world war 3" or "zombies"

I'm not even a huge fan of that type of game but Horizon literally drew me in because of "wait why the hell are the machines now animals that act like actual animals"

I mean, Bloodlines 1 looked pretty poo poo (even for it's time) too, but it seems like Tim Cain feels good about how Mitsoda is handling it game-wise so I'll give it a shot.

Avengers looks like they forgot to budget in the likeness licensing an were like "oh gently caress, well hit "random" on the character creator, match the hair, and roll with it I guess."

To be completely fair the likeness rights must cost a small fortune at this point.

Most of the games at E3 looked bland because we've hit a plateau in leaps forward in graphics/UI fidelity so now games have to sell themselves on gameplay and not spectacle... which AAA games are uniformly bad at doing.

As usual the indies are where the action's at. Telling Lies, Cris Tales, and Under A Porcelain Sun look more interesting than any of the AAAs I saw at e3 save Cyberpunk.

It looked good for a 2004 game, was running on a very advance engine even if it wasn't as good as HL2 it was still better than a lot of other games at the time with its shaders, models and other material effects (animations weren't that good though).
