i suppose if you encompass every video game released since the Magnavox Odyssey came out, then yes, very very few

But in all of those games Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII was released. And that is universally held as the single greatest game in the history of games. That includes non video game games too. Its better than Mouse Trap. The only competition it has is Crossfire, and it automatically wins because those little balls always got lost.

You hate videogames more and more as you get older and end up seeing some game some kid is playing at Walmart and looking at the kid and thinking "wow what a piece of poo poo that's a terrible game and this mongoloid idiot gently caress seems to really like it I bet his mom is loving ugly is that her over there? Oh not bad I guess I'd gently caress her but I ain't raising her goddamn lovely kid because he's an idiot"

Not necessarily. just between work and life you have much less time to put up with blandness or mediocrity in movies/games/books. I'm getting older but still enjoy really bad-guilty-pleasure stuff but if its just ehhhh "watch/play/read-able but forgettable and bland" then gently caress it whereas my 15 year old self would have still finished it.

anyways there are a lot of good video games, and good video games are good, of which there are a lot of even this year alone which I enjoy playing in my less-free time. but there are also a lot of mediocre ones so don't play those

so to those of you farther along in the game i have a question

are there any named npcs who are not hostile by default that don't have the essential tag set on them?

i purchased fallout 4 so that i could exhaustively catalogue the myriad ways it cannot live up to my expectations, nevermind the masterstroke that was new vegas, an obsidian game *pauses to bow to the east seven times towards Irvine*

Maybe in FO6 you'll get to play an Enclave holosim and man the door gun of a vertibird during a spec ops raid in China or something. I guess they'd have to figure out "vehicles" first.

actually as i got older i realised "its all just video games, they are all equally meaningless and who gives a gently caress i'll play what is fun"

so i dont like the dialogue much but the shooting is way better than 3. i spent the last two months playing 3 wheneve ri had any gaming time so i'm comparing this pretty directly and while its def more of the same, its better in p much every way. loving the gun variety thus far, really nice to have more options than 9mm and .32 pistol and hunting rifle or assault rifle
