I’m not particularly into sports games but the NBA Street and NFL Street games were SUPER fun. Everything else I loved has already been mentioned in this thread though.

You beat me to Red Faction, that was some of the most fun I had in middle/high school.

Of all their games I easily have 800+ hours in Rogue Company and saw the writing on the wall after a year of no additional content and the same Christmas theme year-round. I stopped playing 6 months ago because I didn’t want to invest in more time in a game that wasn’t being supported and could be shut down any time.

I guess the good news is the servers will be up, but who is going to play now?

Love rhythm games, couldn’t get into Crypt. Saw a review for Rift and will have to check out the demo.

Yar har

If I could only get the dev to shave off 5 cents, I’m sold!

I’m being completely sarcastic if that wasn’t clear lol

I dunno $2.39 is a bit steep…

Hmmm what about the Sega MASTER system?

Maybe they’ll launch with TWO servers this time…

I’m late but: Fights In Tight Spaces. I thoroughly enjoy their daily challenges, and save my replays when I have a spectacular run with no damage.

I didn’t know about it until you mentioned it now, and it changes nothing for me.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS.

For a game similar to the MS-DOS version The Rogue Prince of Persia is probably your best bet. I got The Lost Crown a few months ago but after hitting a wall and refusing to look up a walkthrough I’ve dropped it for a bit.

I just want to pilot a Redeemer one. Last. Time.

(because I killed myself with it too)

It feels like those creators who can’t just leave their music or movies as it was and keep fucking with it.

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.

I have the 2016 port of the game already and that had poor controller support so, unless the bundled one is the remake, I think I’m alright paying $16 for it.

In addition to that when it first came out on PS2 and GameCube I beat the game inside out half dozen times, so this game has some sentimental value.

I did that for the RE4 remake and picked it up for $16 yesterday.

I’ve seen F2P shuffled to other devs in the past, namely APB: Reloaded. They’ll work on it quietly and then suddenly “Corcord 2.0 coming summer 2026!”

If they flew him to Texas that’d be pretty cool actually. I was in a pre-alpha game testing group for the first Borderlands game back around 2010 and their offices were pretty cool.

I’m sure, with the success of Borderlands since then, they’ve moved to a bigger and better office, but if it’s possible to get him there to play an early build that would be really cool.

For Naughty Dog? They have a solid track record of great games. I’m more enthusiastic than pessimistic, but it sucks it’ll likely be a PlayStation exclusive for a while.

NGL I started Ravenswatch a few days ago and it’s scratching my Diablo and roguelike itch at the same time. Only 6 hours in and I’m hooked, I just want to find a consistent group to play with. The characters are balanced enough that you can play solo as well.

I said the same thing about Daytona USA. When I booted up a GameCube for the first time and saw PSO I was amazed, although the GC was closer hardware wise to the Dreamcast, which we had.

Grass? Trees? BIRDS?! I remember the grass in Oblivion melting dual GPU setups back in the day.

Tell me of these PSO private servers you speak of.

The new Prince of Persia roguelike is pretty good, although I’ve hit a wall recently and am too stubborn to look up a walkthrough. Lots of fun otherwise, though.

What do you mean by Pachinko?

I’m not sure what game you’re referencing.

I just mentioned this game to my coworkers yesterday, and they had never heard of it. I loved the concept but it didn’t hold me more than a week.

Overwatch/TF2 classes with portals? Sounds great! (haven’t seen the trailer)

Definitely Spiritfarer, ultra chill.

I’m in the same camp, didn’t like it.

The Manor Lords dev came out recently saying the opposite of this, basically there shouldn’t be an endless grind after the release of the game. He seems not to be bound to the “ultra-popular game gotta get content done ASAP” grindset previous games got sucked into.

I’ve never played Manor Lords, and barely played Palworld, but there are so many games out now why sink 100 to 200 hours into a popular new release, only to complain about the lack of content a week later?

I bought the game during last year’s sale and dropped it because it doesn’t explain anything and the constant anxiety from unavoidable events was not fun in my opinion. I never got a refund for it but I don’t see myself picking it up again.

I’m assuming they’re requiring a PSN account for PC ports so they can eventually put a subscription on having a PSN account.

Hmm I used to play old point and click Sierra games, so the interface can’t be worse than those I’m assuming. The question is do I have the patience now to figure it out lol

Regarding BG3: Do you feel you missed anything not playing 1 & 2? I’m usually an “in order” purist, but I have made exceptions.

What a nostalgia hit! Throw in some random ground troop sound effects and you have full ASMR for some 30+ year olds around here.

Ever considered the Command and Conquer Red Alert series? For me Red Alert 2 is the most memorable, but all of their songs are very metal and industrial sounding. I’d recommend even just checking out the menu music for Red Alert 2, it goes hard.

I have put at least 30 hours in it, and found it fun to find different ways to do each run. I’m excited about the update because no matter how hard I try it gets pretty formulaic when doing a run when you have something solid in place that’ll get you to the endgame.

I keep seeing this article title and wouldn’t it have been easier to say “last year most games played were over 6 years old”?
