The recent Silent Hill 2 remake was pretty good, and a good mix of combat/horror. I’d recommend that to anyone that likes modern RE.

I love BG3; used to love D&D as well.

Anyone that says it’s like playing D&D is just not correct. It’s a fun game that can simulate some of the rules and mechanics pretty well, but never does it feel like actually playing D&D.

Alan Wake is a game that should be right up my alley.

Unfortunately, the gameplay left me wanting. I enjoyed the story for the most part, but the pacing of the game overall was strange, and other than getting light grenades, the gameplay doesn’t really change much or shake anything up from the beginning to the end.

I enjoyed the world a lot more than the actual game, but I’ve been told it’s sequel fixes some of my issues with the first game.

I can definitely see that if you’re not expecting it to be a game, it’d be a lot more enjoyable. It’s been a couple of years, so I think all I really knew about it was that it was highly rated and a platformer.

All I can say is that I’m glad I got it on deep sale, as I’d be even more furious if I paid the local price of $20 for this game.

The only one I can currently think of is Gris - and I say that because I can’t recall buying a game that made me want to get my money back upon finishing it.

Gris is very highly rated across the board, so clearly there’s something I’m missing as to why. I enjoy walking sim games every now and then, but it’d be hard for me to even call this one a game. People point to the story as being beautiful and deep, but it felt like nothing new and, for me, a bit trite. There was nothing engaging about this game to me. The worst part? It’s like 3 hours long.

Sorry if whomever reads this really likes Gris. I’m glad you could enjoy it. To me, it’s one of the worst recommendations I’ve ever received.

I’m still meaning to try any of the silent hill games, but I’ve played both the original RE4 and the new remake multiple times each. I think they’re both fantastic.

I don’t think it sucks, but I have a lot of opinions about some of the balancing and character abilities.

It’s fun enough for me and I enjoy playin with friends, but I don’t think I’ve quite found a character that really speaks to how I like to play - which is a bit odd considering how many characters there are.

Alan Wake is a game that should be right up my alley, but I don’t think it’s a particularly good game. It’s very repetitive, the gameplay doesn’t evolve that much. The story is fine, and the world is interesting. I haven’t played the sequel, particularly because I didn’t really enjoy my time with the first, but I’ve heard it’s much improved over the first.

I think it might be my favourite of the Ys series, to be honest. So simple and fun.

I’m looking forward to trying out FF9 next. Gonna take a bit of a break, as 45 hours of a FF game are enough for me for the next month or two. I’ve been going through all the mainline Zelda games as well, just reached Ocarina of Time. So I’ll be continuing that until I feel a hankering to go back to FF.

Played and beat Final Fantasy 8 for the first time. Bit of an unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed everything about it more than FF7 (which i also played for the first time a few months ago). As a long time JRPG player, the mechanics were really interesting and fresh. I liked the majority of characters more as well. Maybe it’s just the fact that I’m coming to these games 20+ years later and don’t have the nostalgia for them - I’m not sure. I can definitely see why people loved FF7, though I’m not one of them.

I’d love anybodies thoughts on this and their opinions on the two games!

I’m actually playing FF7 for the first time on a handheld emulator. I’ve previously tried to play FF4 and FF6 (several times) but couldn’t really get too far in before giving up. I’m nearly 8 hours into FF7 now and, while it’s definitely a bit dated in terms of controls (and obviously graphics), I’m having a much better time with it and as it stands, can see finishing it if it keeps going like it is. I just made it to the open world.

Yea, I don’t know. I disagree with the others. They’re definitely not modern games, but I think they’re both still quite good games individually.

Is this your first time playing it? Or, like many people, at least 10th playthrough.

…I’ve already bought this game a bunch, but why not have another avenue in playing it? Truthfully I’ll still probably play the SNES version.

Any way you can play it is the best way.

I personally love the SNES version, many people say the DS version is the definitive, though I dislike the anime cutscenes from the PS1 it includes, the new translation, and the additions they made are awful.

I’ve heard the PC version has been fixed and is a great way to play it now, as well.

If you ever go on YouTube not logged into your account (or in a provate browser), the default stuff on the homepage are: one lo-fi stream, Mr. Beast latest video, and the rest is all right wing feaemonger stuff.

It’s pronounced Shitter

So did I. Even though I had sort of fallen out of love with Overwatch at that point, I was actually pretty excited for the story/PvE stuff. Then to be presented with the steaming pile of dung they gave us was just an insult to me.

Remember when they promised Overwatch players would be fine, and they wouldn’t be forced to play OW2? Remember when they touted OW2 as being different for having the basis of PvE missions and more story based content?
