Rift Apart is supposedly pretty cool, but prior to that there's only been two other mainline R+C games in the last decade, The movie tie in remake that was pretty, but mediocre, and 'Into the Nexus' which I've never heard anyone talk about even among people who like R+C.

Crack in Time is probably the best R+C game, but that was back in 2009.

Rift apart is good fun, has a super bland plot, but no big surprise there. Mainly enjoyable because of looking really good and the impressive gimmicky SSD instant-loading stuff. I�ve been enjoying it

also genuinely liked fable 2, it had tons of character. I got obsessed with slowly buying up every building in the world

Yeah, any kind of property buying/management is my kind of poo poo. Dark Cloud ftw for this too

Man I used to stockholm myself into liking all sorts of barely functioning monstrosities on the C64, and Power Rangers on the SNES, nowadays I'll hype myself up for months over something like Resi 8 and get bored of it after 5 or 10 hours and never touch it again.

Yeah it's probably one of my most played games because of the good expansions and the insane amount of custom modules. Pity it's still dogshit to play on a mechanical level lol

Anyway, speaking of: Mega Man X6 is absolute garbage, barely working level design, horrific structural issues, full of glitches. I've probably played it the most of the X games. I keep going "lol some of the stages are pretty much impossible to do first unless you're a God gamer" (<--- legendary LP btw), but then I always tell myself "but I'm p good at Mega Man, right?" and try the Challenge myself. It's bad. It's really bad. But I can't let this piece of poo poo game go. When I do the second Gate stage without armor on, I feel like an absolute savant (after 827348 deaths). What a horrific, beautiful mess.

conversely X5 is just boring trash and I hate it

I did like the first Jak and Daxter but 2 was too awful even for me so I gave up on that series there.

Still got 3 Ratchet games to go before I'm done so watch out! (No PS5 to play the new one yet)

Do you like FMV games? Sega�s early laserdisc work was a little too crude for my tastes, but when Night Trap came out for Sega CD in '92, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.

all the reasons mentioned before plus the fact that the combat is hopelessly broken makes me think of fable 2 as a kind of morrowind-lite for consoles. it's more intersting than good but i'll remember it better than most games i've played.
