Played FTL near to it’s release, and Into the Breach when it ended up on mobile / Netflix. Baba is You is still on my wishlist though.

Complex strategy game might be an interesting category. Will check out a few. Any recommendations that I should check first? I used to play Age of Empires before, so going to get AoE IV soon, but don’t know much 4X games (except maybe some Civilizations and Age of Wonders 2).

Also played Half-Life a while ago, haven’t played 2 though. Thanks for the reminder!

Well, I am generally a fan of RPGs but I play pretty much any kind of game. Most of the AAA games end up on consoles, so have played most of them (or have them on wishlist). Played both God of War (all except Ragnarok, which is on my wishlist) and Control on PS. And Guardians of the Galaxy is on my wishlist.

Oh, not a big fan of MOBAs or any PvP game. Same with very old or retro game. Don’t have a nostalgia for 8-bit games. Don’t mind 16bit era that much though. Also don’t like horror.

Can I ask for recommendations here?

I mainly play on PS and Switch, and have a long list of games that I want to play, so am fully covered there, but recently updated my laptop, and this one has a nice Nvidia card in it, so was thinking about catching up on the PC only games I missed.

I am currently playing Trails in the Sky series, and plan to get Age of Empires and other Xbox / MS games like Halo, Gears of Wars, Fable etc.

Any other PC-only, must-play recommendations from last 10-15 years?

Thanks! I’ll watch the video.

Ooh, time to play the first two games!

I haven’t played it, but generally it doesn’t sound fun. @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world makes it sound fun. 😀

Heh, cool.

You make this game sound so fun.

Now that he has died and respawned, is he still Jerry’s son Cable? Or is it a new character now?

What did he do?

Wow, as a fan of Flight of the Conchords, what a waste!

I think I played it on Vita. Remember loving it when I played it. As you said, the game wasn’t too difficult, nor too easy.

I just looked it up at psnprofiles to see if I Platinumed it, and turns out I only cleared 2 out of 10 chapters. (Also there is no Platinum trophy) Guess it’s time to give it another go.

Edit: Just looked up the trophy details. They are tied to hidden collectables not chapters, so I did finish the game 😀

Disclaimer: I haven’t played it yet, but I have talked to people who have liked it and who have hated it.

The games is very good, but it’s not a typical Final Fantasy game. They have removed, or reduced the RPG elements, and made it a very good action game with good narrative. So, if you go in expecting an RPG like previous Final Fantasy games you won’t like it. If you just go in expecting a good action / adventure game with some RPG elements, you’ll probably end up liking it

Patientgamers FTW!

Ah, thanks for the info.

So, as someone who got hyped because he is the man behind Black & White and Fable. What am I missing?

That’s understandable. Everyone has their own preferences, and there is nothing wrong with that.

They are remastering all the old ones, so I am hopeful for a new entry,

If you enjoy a game, but later find out that the game had some internal check where it auto-adjusted difficulty, will you stop liking it?

Again, not all games should have it. And not every dev implement it properly, that doesn’t mean a feature is inherently bad. There are places where it should be used, and where it should be used.

Well, not everyone plays games to get better. If I can enjoy the game, then what does it matter if games lets me think I am better than I actually am?

It’s your right to like or dislike any features. Just as it’s our right to like or dislike any features. There is no objectively good or bad in it.

Haven’t watched the video, but it depends on the game. For some games, these are very valid choices.
