that was one thing that was fun, getting the lift upgrades, stacking a huge pile of physics objects in the middle of a room and then chucking a recycle grenade in there |

I don't follow the whole twitch/streaming scene, but I find them pretty useful to find out if the actual gameplay looks fun. Because if you're just going off screenshots and carefully composed trailers that's mainly just cutscenes, yeah you're right, it's exactly like picking out a toy based on the box art. |

There's some tactical thinking required in how to approach every "room". It has great art, and a great soundtrack. It's a relatively short game (4 to 6 hours), but it has a NG+ mode if you want more. It has some challenge, and you can manually add to that challenge with some modifiers. Edit: It also goes on Sale for as low as $3 - https://isthereanydeal.com/game/transistor/info/ itry fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Jan 31, 2021 |

I can't stop playing Dark Souls. other games just don't scratch that part of my brain. I am also not very good at playing Dark Souls games and die all over the place.

working as intended imo. "gitting gud" at dark souls is just accepting youll die a lot in stupid ways and laughing it off instead of feeling discouraged |

Stardew Valley is one of those strategy-esque games like animal crossing that I find very soothing watch but very stressful to play, for some reason. |

So many times I have restarted a Civ game that was going well just because I missed/overshot some particular milestone or date. In December I actually rage-uninstalled Civ 6 just because I was staying up too late playing it. |

Beautifully atmospheric with a very deep combat system and a dystopian narrative that you just kind of get dropped in the middle of. That having been said, judging games solely on box art got me Chrono Trigger, Eye of the Beholder II, and Deus Ex. Not ready to abandon that system just yet. |

the "hey btw the day is almost over" mechanic is either a thing i love, or hate, with no in between. if the coffee in stardew valley made time pass slowly instead of you moving more quickly i'd like that a lot. my house is a total mess, because wasting a day or more arranging things seems pointless given what i could accomplish otherwise. i assume that most of us encountered this mechanic first in majoras mask or pikmin: both games where i like the time limit

eye of the beholder II was great. got it through my highschool sneakernet and mapped the entire game out on graph paper. you know that one teleporter puzzle that has a dagger you can't reach? I got a cheat program long after I finished the game, and that dagger is just a regular old dagger that they left there to frustrate everyone mapping out the teleporter puzzle. also the stone ring doesn't teleport you anywhere. fantastic game, too bad eobIII was a dud.

Prof. Crocodile posted:yes. I kinda forgot about the console version to two you the truth. There's a console version? To be honest, I really confused myself last night because I thought there was an early 2000s remake, but it turns out that it was Pool of Radiance. I played the original Eye of the Beholder on floppies and it was pretty rad. There's also a Sega CD version of it that actually had voiced cutscenes! It also had wonderful console music. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL50D22D8487A38647 I remember reading the manual for EoB and it apologized for the lack of music. It was pretty quiet in that dungeon, but at least it made it easier to listen for monsters.

I'm making a habit of getting to Hades thinking "yeah! This setup is great! Totally gonna get him this time!" followed by getting my rear end whooped. Some runs it feels like I mostly fight him while other times I'm spending most of the fight destroying pots and fighting summoned enemies. I swear, the blast waves that those pots send out give me all kinds of trouble. They're not that difficult to avoid but I still manage to get chipped away by them. |
