Abandoning classic style Schmups for Bullet Hells is where we fell into decline as a culture and people.

I was lamenting how Ys and Trails etc. all look like lovely anime, and of course had to recognize that they always did it's just that lovely anime used to look like Ys instead of this poo poo. What I'm saying is anime should still all look like Record of Lodoss War and Ys should still be cool.

I want a game set in the opium wars, really weird time in history, but I guess kind of hard to make a balanced game out of one side side using overwhelming technological advancements to steamroll other people and destroy their civilization with drugs.

it's really easy to make a game about a lone plucky hero fighting alone against a huge almost undefeatable enemy just don't make it a strategy / map game

A game about Japan's WWII campaign in China would cause a loving supernova of hurt feelings. The studio that did it would never do business in Asia again.

Rise of the White Sun is a game about guiding the KMT, or other faction through the civil wars and invasion, it's quite fun although pretty buggy last time I played.

its been exactly 31 days since i last played dota, despite the insistence of former teammates that i come back for "one more game", the delusion of labeling myself "retired" has destroyed any niggling interest its nice to go into a steam sale and see a bunch of games that i know i'll now play because dota isn't any kind of distraction so that steam sale i've picked up: Yakuza 7 - basically rounding off the collection, i've still not got to 4 or 5 Warhammer 40k: Boltgun - I love FPS, I used to kinda like Warhammer, looks great Persona 5 Royal - Loved persona 4, only played about 20 hours of vanilla 5, love the music, it had me jigging this morning Resident Evil 3 (2020) - Kinda rounding out the collection again, £8 was enough for me, prolly save it till autumn though Dave the Diver - Watched the trailer for this was instantly sold, hope it lives up to the expectation AND *DRUMROLL PLEASE* The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition - I've only played Skyrim once before, at launch, on an old laptop which was the only gaming device I owned at the time, I put in about 50 hours, got to the end and loved it, I'm a massive Elder Scrolls simp and I'm super looking foward to playing it on a modern system, probably with a few mods for flavour. So to answer the age old question, what happens when you quit mobas, you become someone one of those people still buying Skyrim in two thousand and twenty loving four gg's all, really enjoying my videogame variety now that dota is behind

There are so many really great games I will never have time to play and dedicating so much potential gaming time to spending hours turning other people or myself into losers feels like so a bad reality when we could all just be saving or destroying whole worlds and then bouncing to new ones after

The cool thing about live service games is if you stop playing for, like, 4 days the desire to log back on almost completely evaporates.

Helldivers 2 looks like the kind of fun I had in Section 8: Prejudice, but I don't have the money right now, and there's definitely some creeping FOMO because S8P had a slight revival and then completely died dead

I hear a lot of chatter about Helldivers2, and some of it is about gamers being weird toxic competitive people about optimal meta and whatnot. Just a reminder that Deep Rock Galactic is still out there, being its amazing self. ------------ Unpopular video game opinion: 'Grand Strategy' games where a mistake, the very best of them are Paradox titles (and all that entails), while most of the are knockoff 4x cargo cult shallow junk.

It's very not for me, all I know is it's online and shooting and that just doesn't look like anything to me. I think if I played it I wouldn't be able to say it's bad, I'd just wonder why I blacked out and what I did during my lost time.

Grand Strategy would have been fine if it didn't get dominated by Paradox, the studio that releases 1/20th of a game and makes you pay out the rear end for the privilege of beta testing the rest of it over the next 10 years.

I'm just glad they made the console version of Stellaris actually playable with a controller to the point that playing with a mouse and keyboard seems like a step backwards in my mind.

The best part is they flog the dead horse so much now that the games actually get worse every DLC and patch. EUIV hasn't been anything resembling fun since Art of War 3 years ago and they're still chugging.

I like single player games I just don't like looking for games, and spending time installing/learning only to decide it isn't for me. Buying Half-Life in '98 was the ultimate money saver. For $40, you got HL and TFC off the bat, and then people made dozens of  mods for the next 8 years. Mods covered evey genre: WW2, modern war, Zombies, Matrix, Aliens, racing, psychedelic, action, walking simulators, and more.Now, devs lock everything down so no one ever gets to expand upon a good engine with good assets. Gotta get that dlc money.

Nah. Paradox games are fine at 1.0. I play them lot at launch and then forget them forever. DLC churn is for the people who want to play 1000s of hours and years for the same game.
