VtMB has tiny, tiny "cities" with almost no one in them. It helps that it's set exclusively at night time (because vampires) so you don't expect crowded streets, but there are only a handful of locations with anything to do and you keep returning to them and speaking to the same people. I love the game, but it's not an open world and it's not dense with characters or activities.

It's a great RPG/adventure game, but it was made on a budget a long time ago and you need to install a bunch of bugfix and content restoration patches for it to be playable, and it will still sometimes crash or you'll find your last five saves are broken every once in a while. Also, you should use noclipping while looking for the Nosferatu warren, it will still take you half an hour wandering through the world's most convoluted water treatment plant that has zero landmarks.

You must have misread my post. I didn’t say dota was the only coop mp game. I’m saying that even a mp game as full of brain damaged shitlords as dota is a better use of time than the typical single player action game

no video game is a good use of time, basically anything else is a better use of time

however, your time isn't that valuable so it doesn't matter much

If what you're after is the satisfaction of wrangling a handful random idiots into doing something complex and cohesive, FFXI blows DOTA out of the water

Or at least it used to, I think the game is something completely different now

Exactly. Armored Core is a Souls-like.

While it's a different genre everything I've heard about the Armored Core setting and tone is basically sci-fi Dark Souls as gently caress. That is, everything's hosed, the world's falling apart and the people left with power are all insane and evil.

Also the Moonlight Greatsword is in it.

I don't think there's any way to accurately judge competitive kissing because what constitutes a 'good kiss' is highly subjective. There are a million variables and furthermore,

DKC1 - Bad
DKC2 - Good
DKC3 - Good even though people bitch about stupid poo poo with it
DKCJB - Best
DKCKoS - Sucks
DKCR - Best "regular" DKC game
DKCTF - Good

I forget the order for the Gameboy games but they're all sub-DKC1 levels of bad.

Your life and your quest end here.


Crafting is a bad idea and shouldn't be in games (that aren't centrally about that, I guess).

Sure, I'd love to play this fun game, but first let me organise my giant loving inventory and look up the specific resources I need for the six types of things I need to make and, hold on, just let me check the slight variance on these stat modifiers so I can see which one to equip to upgrade my damage by 0.47%. :rolleyes:

If you're going to put that bullshit into a game, you should at least have the courtesy to make the UX as convenient as possible. Like, let me just specify the things I want to make and set that to automatically happen whenever possible, and set which things are worthless garbage I don't want and auto-sell them whenever I encounter a trader.

Also, manually gathering resources is busy-work. Teleport them into my inventory when I get close. You know, like how you used to pick things up in video games.

Donkey Kong Land 1 and 2 seemed pretty impressive for their time. Comparatively bare bones for a Rare game in comparison to stuff like DKC, but the controls and animation felt very smooth and responsive compared to a lot of other platformers on the original Game Boy.

Dark Messiah has that perfect balance of Inventory and Crafting for a non-crafting game. Every item is meaningful and you'll rarely -if ever- need to sort your inventory to make space.
Crafting only happens twice and it's an actual process instead of inserting two UI icons into another icon to create new icon.

FWIW my flatmate doesn't think they're cool either and gets pretty embarrassed when he apes out over Rocket League. He just happens to be a combination of hyper competitive and also not very good at the game, leaving him in perpetual gold rank with everyone else who can't stop ball chasing.
