Whistling rear end in a top hat posted:i think i saw a few people mention xenogears...i'm about 10 hours into it right now and tbh it's pretty disappointing. there's a *lot* of mediocre story stuff, a lot of very, very tedious back and forth in order to unlock progression at certain points (the poo poo you have to do at the Bledavik market is unforgivably bad & boring game design) and weirdly for an RPG, very little combat and exploration. and what combat you do have is generally way too easy. there are some cool and unique things about it but the experience as a whole is very rough around the edges and by the developer's own admission in later years it's an unfinished game. you're a dumbass, the only disappointing thing about xenogears is that they weren't given enough time to do the 2nd disc properly. blame square

The mission briefings that used old WW2 newsreel footage added so much to the atmosphere.

people covered a lot of the ones i wanted to mention already lol. but check out twisted metal! 2 is the best by a big margin but all of them are at least worth checking out a lil. even if for the later ones a lot of that is thinking how cool and a lil funny it is that you cant stream twisted metal 4 at all because the soundtrack is like half rob zombie. games i can nth as good ones to play: -medievil -legend of dragoon -crash team racing -final fantasy tactics -nuclear strike -street fighter alpha 3 (world tour mode owns) -einhander -brave fencer musashi

The cars in Driver 1-2 and Stuntman feel so weighty that when you finally beat a level it feels great. Hopefully either of those games get revived someday.

The tutorial parking garage section of the OG Driver was a watershed moment of my childhood. The sick momentum based poo poo you could do in that game blew my mind.
