Ask Lemmy

Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012. I get the hate, it isn't like the OG at all, but when played without caring about its name it is a banger game.

Dragon Age: Veilguard. Was it MCU-ified? Sure. Still enjoyed it quite a bit. More than Inquisition, actually.

Dead by Daylight.

I get the hate: it's buggy and messy and expensive, and people are rude AF. But I just turn off chat and have fun with it.

Though I've had less enjoyment since they redid the challenges to be a constant assault of the senses with updates for fifteen concurrent "challenges" each match. I'm not a baby, I don't need the distraction or unearned praise.

Wait, maybe I do hate it?

For games, I'd have to say Ultima. Most people who played the games before this one hate it and say that it deviated from the series too far, but I just love the post apocalyptic setting. It is so dark, and the game music by Nenad Vugrinec is really great.

Sure, it has it's flaws. Massive, massive flaws. And so many. Movement, and especially jumping, is a big mess. And the game makes you jump a lot. Onto moving platforms, too. So that was massively frustrating. But despite that and the fact that the game was never really finished, it is still really really good.

Torment: Tides of Numenera

A lot of people give this game bad rep because its (in)direct ancestor was amazing Planescape Torment, the game with one of the best stories ever made. Sure Planescape was amazing, with all its bizarre characters and places, deep thoughts provoking story, vast amounts of book like conversations, that's all true.

But Numenera was ringing the exact same bell for me.

I get some of the hate it's not real Planescape, but that's because of licensing reason and we can't do shit about that. But world of Numenera was amazing replacement! It's just as bizarre, just as strange, just as different, I loved it!

I get some of the hate of "shallow" characters which is somehow true for some random NPCs, but that's in every game. But your companions were all interesting with interesting motives and background.

I don't get the hate of mechanics and combat. I honestly prefer its game mechanics to d&d, because we've already seen it million times and this was new. And it works well. And combat? Lol. That's the last thing this game is about so I don't mind it's not perfect. And honestly, combat in "the original" sucked even more.

All in all I did not expect much thanks to reviews but I was very pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend the game for all patient gamers out there.

Speaking of resident evil: I really like the movies. All except the last one and the one in the desert. They might shit all over the games and any semblance of continuity, but if you can shut off your brain for a while (as much as for any other action horror movie), they are fun. Especially in a proper home cinema and even more so in 3D.

Remember Me

I liked RE6 as well. I don't remember if that's the one where you punch a boulder into a volcano or if that's 5, but I enjoyed the over the topness of it. I liked the set up of playing different characters too. Leon going through the White House was awesome.

I quite enjoy The Big Bang Theory. It's not great art, but it's relaxing and not taxing.
