This game has tons of issues but I freaking love it. Played it again recently and finished the whole thing. It’s great. Don’t feel obligated to do EVERY quest, just faction questlines and the main quest. It’s a lot of fun.

However then new DLC they added with remastered is fucking terrible. It fucks up so much lore, is incredibly lazy, and just looks like it was made on a true shoestring budget. Not worth playing at all.

I don’t know about the legality of if either, but it seems so broken for them to have submitted these patent applications AFTER the game released, getting them accepted a few months later. That’s fucking stupid, right?

Came into the comments to bring this one up. Truly interesting read and kept me engaged even back in high school.

That was what was kind of making me suspicious. They said steam deck verified but I expected a shitty EA launcher that would make launching it on steam deck at least annoying, possibly even impossible. So if they DON’T have a launcher…that’s amazing. Hopefully true

I agree with the guy that said Outer Wilds, even though I can’t finish it because of my thalassophobia.

Personally, the two games that had a really profound effect on me are Disco Elysium and Hi-Fi Rush.

Disco is an incredible political game that really is damn powerful. It’s definitely not for people who just want action.

Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm action game so I wouldn’t recommend it to people who hate rhythm games or people who hate action. But it’s so fun, so charming and really uplifting.

I wouldn’t say a big find(and not in this exact video), but I loved Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, which is on sale for this event.

If you like numbery CRPGs with fun choices and great companions, give it a look. I knew very little about 40k going in and it made me a big fan of the entire universe when I never expected to be.

I can be overwhelming sometimes and definitely still buggy since a new DLC just came out, but an absolute timeless game in my opinion.

The reality is that it’s been 20 years since many of those “best games ever”. 20 years is a huge chunk of your working life. It’s just not realistic to keep the same people that whole time, or even a percentage of them.

People don’t want to think about the reality of it, they just want content to devour.

Hah! What an idiot.

I thought remake’s combat system was great and it was my game of the year when I came out. FF16 was also great for me, but it was never going to make everyone happy, it had far too many issues and was a focused action game.

Ff7 rebirth though- holy shit, it was just too fucking long. Too exhausting to play. So much shit to do it was overwhelming and SO, SO much filler. So many terrible, stupid story decisions undercutting emotional moments and jumping the shark on itself. I went from loving it because it was more remake to hating it because of many of the changes and the writing. Just…exhausting.

Square just seem like they are missing hard because FF16 was too focused, and FFRebirth is too big and up it’s own ass.

Tbh, I was part of a very LGBTQA+ group of people, but I was one of the very few just straight people. I made out with a lot of dudes and that was enough for me to tell that I wasn’t into it. Didn’t feel that same heart-thumping feeling that I feel with a person of the opposite sex.

I do still kind of wish I was bi just to see what it’s like. But I’m straighter than an arrow

Outdoor cats decimate bird populations. Letting your cat out is terrible for your local ecosystem. Seeing this stuff really frustrates me.

I do love last epoch a lot. It’s uniquely fun just because it’s doable just to make builds yourself and find enjoyable and good synergies and take those builds all the way to endgame.

Slightly off-topic: might be alone in this, but I actually really enjoyed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It’s nice, self-contained, has some fun action, some cool scenes, and it turned me on to Jake Gyllenhaal and I’ve liked his work ever since. It’s Generic and schlocky but it’s better than the usual videogame movie garbo.

It fits nicely into that B-movie slot IMO.

Yeah I feel like rings of power is just a hatewagon everywhere. I’ve been really impressed with the sets and costumes in both seasons. They are a beautiful treat. And while I’m not terribly interested in the characters or story it’s good watching just for that.

Starfield was garbage IMO. I didn’t even pay for it and wanted my money back in less than 3 hours.

But I AM still hopeful for Elder Scrolls 6. The weakness of Starfield is exploration is barely a thing; incredibly boring procedural generation is the cause. There is little to no value getting excited exploring the world and the incredible world of Skyrim is what makes it good.

I seriously doubt Bethesda is dumb enough to try procedural generation with the next elder scrolls game, and if they are then it will be dead in the water just by association. But a game similar to Skyrim will likely still find a stronger audience, even if just for the return to form.

Nice! Yeah I will do my own research when/if I decide to play them again on deck. Thank you for the heads up.

Is it pretty feasible to install kotor 2 restored content mod? I vaguely remember it being available on steam workshop.

Oh true. My bad, was thinking in context of old shows and forgot the topic.

For my kids cartoon, would probably be Static Shock. The animation is way tougher than I remember, but it was still really fun!

I’ve been watching Hercules: The Legendary journeys from the 90s, and I watched them a ton as a kid, too. Love most episodes still even tho Kevin Sorbo is now a shitmonkey. They honestly had really positive messages, and it’s just campy enough for the costumes and ancient animation to still be fun.

Yeah there are artistic scenes in samurai Jack that wow me even all this time later. Great show.
