the only thing I didn't like about Obra Dinn was that so much information is contained in the living quarters with the hammocks other than that I wish I could forget I played it so I could play it again; great concept and execution god it's good

making a good puzzle game is hard as hell because even a single bad puzzle ruins the whole thing because you stop trusting the game. Riven was my favorite of the 90s Myst-likes and maybe the only one which I thought was an unqualified great game

the best console ever was probably the gamecube because when i had a wii i used it to play more gamecube games and ports from non-wii games than anything else

but seriously it's probably the PS2 yeah even if I personally would entertain the thought that the Gamecube and Dreamcast or whatever had more interesting games ultimately the massive install base, long viable life, and fact that everyone and their game dev grandma was putting out stuff for it means that the PS2 is gonna win whatever kind of games you wanna play the PS2 had a mess of great ones on it, dang

haveblue posted:The live dioramas can contain information that the journal doesn't. Sometimes you need context to make a deduction- who is associating with who, who's standing where and what are they doing, what objects or articles of clothing do they possess. The scenes can also inform other scenes through stuff happening in the background that isn't directly related to the death the scene is centered on, make sure you're exploring the whole navigable area. After you've seen those memories for the first time, a ghostly body should appear where they died.

Monkey Fracas posted:feel like the Famicom was a big unifying force that had a previously unseen install base compared to other systems/computers though the nes was a big nothing in europe, the sms even sold more, but both were eclipsed by pc systems. it was more the megadrive the next gen that did that, and then to a far greater extent the ps1.

Welp over the weekend I gave The Witcher 3 another try. I really was not a huge fan at all the first time I played. I didn't like Geralt, the world seemed overly confusing and not well explained, and the controls and battle system I both hated. I didn't like the witcher sense and how all the quests seemed to be 'follow the glowy bits' All of these complaints they either fixed or I was playing it wrong. This is a game that *demands* you take your time to enjoy it. The way that each area has these 'subplots' that tie through completely unrelated sidequests is fantastic (for example the hansel and gretel witches in Velen). Geralt is actually a pretty cool dude, and I like the world - watching the show (why I decided to give this another shot) and reading all the books and doing all the sidequests makes a HUGE difference. Playing on Hard difficulty means that I haven't overleveled 90% of my massive sidequest list, another big complaint I had last time I played - felt like it was hurrying me along. For some reason Geralt seems to control better - last time I played the Alternative mode had just been introduced and it feels way better than that so I guess they improved it? Also Witcher Sense is much much much less annoying when you can just tap it to get highlights and not have to deal with the obnoxious fisheye - unless that option was there prevously and I missed it. Anyway. Everyone is right. This game is a masterpiece. If you like RPGs there is no excuse to not have played it.

And there are 3 Russians that I will come back to at some point. I'm still working my way back through all the memories and figuring out how people died. I didn't do it the first time through because I just wanted to fill the journal ASAP once I realized how I couldn't truly play until that was done.

uk was weird because it had a ridiculously large amount of uk made PC systems and they all did pretty well, as did the other options from outside the uk, but everything just got destroyed by the amiga in the end

I think I saw an Amiga once. I did have a friend who had a TG-16, though. Which at the time didn't seem strange but looking back is weird as hell.

I had an Amiga 500 and later an Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard 030 turbo with 4MB of extra RAM. They were pretty cool machines, although all ports of action games sucked on them because of the 1 button joystick. Keyboard & mouse games were fine though, and that probably is why took a liking to strategy games.

What did the cliffyb tweet say? It looks like it was deleted. Also sorry I kinda passed out sometime after the sad games question without even giving an example. I was watching some of the cutscenes leading up to the ending of shadow hearts covenant and just the way everything was done and came together and the use of the music and scenery was enough to make me tear up. Such a good series.

gaming in 80's Eurozone is an inscrutable puzzle to me there was the Amiga and then approximately like 80 other PCs capable of running games that got things developed for/ported to them I definitely take the more-less unified computer architecture/OS environment of today for granted; poo poo seemed like a real mess back then

Monkey Fracas posted:gaming in 80's Eurozone is an inscrutable puzzle to me the C64 was the big one (and the Amiga/ST in the later 80s/early 90s), but there was a lot of regional variation. Also fun stuff like where the Spectrum was big in the UK but also "big" in markets where someone decided to sell a cloned knockoff of it. TBH it was the same deal in the US for quite a bit, it's just that mainstream gaming in the US migrated to consoles one generation earlier than it did in the UK because of the NES becoming a monster.
