I know this is several hundred posts too late, but I wanted to come out of the closet as the person who liked the stealth and action gameplay of Alpha Protocol more than the Metal Gear series (pre-Phantom Pain and not including Revengeance).

I forget the bbccode for quotes but homeless snail was like "jordan mechner died" My grandparents used the term "pizza pies" to describe pizzas because that's what they were called when they became popular in the USA. They grew up without electricity and got driver's licences before they required a test to get them. I feel old.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Should I just play Fallout 4? I never actually did because of all the negative reactions at the time. Go for it. It's probably the only Bethesda game I *might* recommend to someone. Just expect the usual Bethesda jank, weak Bethesda writing, Bethesda mediocrity, etc. If that sort of thing doesn't bother you, it's a good time. CharlieFoxtrot posted:Or is there another game that's not Fallout but would scratch the Fallout-type itch? Depends what you like about the series. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Kenshi, Mad Max, and No Man's Sky might all fit the bill depending on how you view the series / what you like about them. But the real answer is Wasteland 2 & 3. (Fallout and Wasteland have always semi-secretly been the same series, but Brian Fargo never owned both IPs at the same time.)

cumpantry posted:still havent played Hades 1 I'm not really into roguelites and I'm appallingly bad at action games. On paper, there's nothing about the game I should've liked. I'm *really* glad I gave it a chance, it's pretty great. (See also: Snowrunner. I should hate that game on every level but I love it.)

credburn posted:The only thing Wasteland shares with Fallout is that it's post-apocalyptic and there's a lot of a silly irony. Nah, they both come from Brian Fargo (even though the first Fallout was very much Tim Cain's baby when he worked for Brian at Interplay). When Brian was head of Interplay, he no longer held the rights to Wasteland so they just made a new Wasteland game anyway and filed the serial numbers off. Of course, for legal reasons, Fargo has always denied that but it's why Fallout 1 & 2 are chock full of nudge-nudge-wink-wink Wasteland refrences and New Vegas just straight up has a GIGANTIC FUCKOFF METAL STATUE of a Fallout character shaking hands with a Wasteland character.

There's a lull in the chat thread, so I'm going to spout some opinions about games I played in 2024. - The Making of Karateka - Loved the documentary (where you could play all of the beta builds and early influences for context), still hate actual Karateka. - Slay the Princess - Wonderful and strange VN, haven't played since the big update. Looking forward to it. - Cyberpunk 2077 w/Phantom Liberty and the 2.11 update - Preem! Has its faults, but well worth it. The amount of care and detail put into the DLC is astonishing. It could have been its own game. I liked the performances of Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba, gently caress you those are my opinions. - Shin Megami Tensei Persona 5 Royal - You always want to play the "best" version of a game, but I wish I'd played Persona 5 instead of Persona 5 Royal. Ask if you'd like more detail. - Robocop: Rogue City - Interesting that they decided to play it straight instead of the dark comedy that was the movie (and to some degree, the second one). If you look at all of the components of the game, it's mid as poo poo. But I had fun, and fun ain't mid. - Final Fantasy 6 - A JPRG "classic". It's mechanically the early-1990s 16-bit JRPG I expected. I like that style. The core conceit of the game, though, is that it constantly reshuffles your party. Constantly. I hate this. I enjoyed the game, but only because I played it in an era with easily-accessible guides. If I'd played this in 1994, I would have hated it. It would have been competing with Phantasy Star 4 and Earthbound that year. And Elder Scrolls: Arena. And Marathon. And Super Metroid. And SimCity 2000. And Xcom: UFO Defense. And Earthworm Jim. And Doom 2. And TIE Fighter. And King's Field. And Master of Magic. And Tekken. And Warcraft. And Need For Speed. And Sonic 3 & Knuckles. And Wing Commander 3. And System Shock. While I enjoyed it well enough in 2024, it's my second-least favorite Final Fantasy game. - House Flipper 2 - Just a full improvement on the original and cozy as poo poo. NEEDS DLC, though. Waiting for it and looking forward to it. - Balatro - gently caress. It got me pretty good. e: italisizing "fun ain't mid" e2: spacing to make the post more dramatic xoFcitcrA fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Apr 21, 2024 |

ONE YEAR LATER posted:
I've been playing FF games since the 80s and always enjoyed them for what they are. But I've never thought they were "good" more than "pretty". JRPGs have a bad habit of being cliched and forgettable, and the FFs have only ever held above "forgettable" because of style. IMO. (My JRPG opinions are not the most popular on the SA forums)

Quackles posted:well I can't let that hot take pass You aren't given a choice whether or not you begin with overpowered stuff that trivializes the game. You have to look up which parts of your inventory / personas are DLC and ACTIVELY AVOID THEM in order to play the game with challenge. Also, after 150 hours of playing the game the last 4-6 left a sour taste in my mouth. You have one of the worst "puzzles" in videogame history not made by Owlcat, pointless multi-stage boss battles (SOME OF WHICH ARE SCRIPTED WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE), and an hour to hour-and-a-half of just time spent (including unskippable credits) getting between winning the game and being allowed to save. e: good game that leaves you with a sour taste xoFcitcrA fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Apr 21, 2024 |
