I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.
I beat breath of the wild solely because I was holding out hope that it somehow got good at some point.
The dungeons and boss fights were enjoyable. But there were only 4 of those and the rest of the game was sorely underwhelming.
Tears of the kingdom is the first Zelda game I didn’t care to finish in 30 years. I’ve even beat Zelda 2.
I only played it for maybe 4 hours. Does it have an epic story? I don’t recall one.
Give me a reason to get a Switch 2 and replay it!
The reason for me to play Breath of the Wild was my nostalgia for Ocarina of Time. It’s just impossible to explain to people what wondrous fantasy it was when it came out in the 90’s. An open-world game, 3D, on console, with a joystick, with glorious music? I know you zoomers can read and understand those words, but you genuinely can’t understand the feeling.
The world didn’t have the internet, or games, really. TV had like a few channels. You wouldn’t be able to ever choose what you wanted to watch unless you had a video, and those weren’t too plentiful. If you ever liked a TV-show, then the timeslot of that TV-show made you go watch it at a certain time, or at the least go through telling your mom how to program the VCR for it and hope it gets recorded. Games were mostly just 2D.
And then you load into OOT menu on N64 a year later, and start the story with the FPV camera flying around. It was amazing.
I feel like BotW has some fundamental design problems with lots of repetitive content, an unsatisfying weapon-breaking system, and of course it lacks dungeons. The dialogue has a lot of words but very little to say. Don’t get me wrong, the open world is breathtaking, but a lot was sacrificed on that altar.
I think immortal gates of pyre is shaping up to be one!
Prumbably the Morrowind game
omg yes i love skyrim games
Me too they are like mindcraft so exciting
Chrono trigger
The announcer at gay bingo knows someone that named their kid Chrono. :(
I need to know what gay bingo is.
It’s the same as regular bingo except the announcers are drag queens and they dance between rounds. It’s awesooommeee
The Yakuza series I guess? Granted I’ve only played zero, kiwami and kiwami 2, but it all seems to be completely sincere in its craziness. It doesn’t appear to pretend to be anything more than it is.
red dead redemption 2 is missing from a lot of these
I did not understand the hype for this game at all. I liked the first one better to be honest.
Game was truly a masterpiece
Im…not sure we played the same Red Dead Redemption 2.
I agree with them, that game is a masterpiece. Didn’t you love it?
I went for my horse. Left mission area. Mission failed.
Masterpiece? Really?
Sounds like a skill issue. If that ruined the game for you, I dunno what to say. Might be a replicant?
Oh, yes, I agree with that part. I just don’t see the similarities to LotR.
Imma go with SNES Mario kart. People still play it. Will continue to play it. It was genre defining. It’s not changing ever static. Simply to start but complex to finish.
Bloodborne
Morrowind ?
Cdda
Ohh that is a good suggestion. Its also FOSS, people should go and play it.
Recently tried out the extraction mod which was a very different play through.
Deus Ex
Welp, time to reinstall!
Has he not heard of Ocarina of Time?
The best PC game OAT: Disco Elysium
It’s currently 90% off on steam btw
as others said: pirate it or buy like the cheapest key off of https://gg.deals/
The studio had an internal hostile takeover, kicked out most of the people who actually made the game and basically all of the lead ones and just kept the IP
So the money goes to them
Which you should totally pirate, according to the devs themselves.
I’m not sure but I think I heardthat they reconciled somehow?
As far as I’m aware, no. The studio was closed down by the guy that stole it from the creative minds.
Wonder if he’s played the PS2 LotR games, they were good
I mean, they were definitely enjoyable. But I’m unsure if they meet the qualities of OPs post lol
A genuinely heart warming story that deals with strong themes of love and friendship in a way that made a genuine impact?
Undertale.
Agree such a great game made me cry
Positively nuclear take, but 100% valid
