Imo it doesn’t suck. The gimmick just wears off after a couple hours/levels, so it gets repetitive fast. I still enjoy the aesthetics and wackiness of it though.

I haven’t seen reviews for that show Will Trent (my mom loves it, she’s watched it all), but I just know there will be plenty of arbitrary negative ones because of a certain character who constantly walks around with a tiny chihuahua.

People review bomb games that add or take away things that didn’t even affect gameplay in the slightest.

For Lunacid, there was an update that allowed you to choose your character’s pronouns when you started a game; this has literally nothing to do with how you play the game, how NPCs interact with you, or literally anything other than just some flavor text. If you go into the steam forums and read reviews for the game you’ll see so many idiots harping on and on about how the game “used to be” great until they added pronouns, and now it’s literally unplayable.

It’s the only telltale game I’ve really played. I tried Wolf Among Us a couple times, but I barely made it through the first episode because it moves so slow imo. I wanted to play the Batman one, but I didn’t care for any of the characters.

I did get Tales 2 from a Borderlands bundle I got on steam a year ago, I do want to give that one a try.

You could also take it a step further and say “all games are just tech demos”

Like all they exist to do is proof-of-concept type stuff showing off what people can do, instead of making a piece of entertainment for the people.

I could say the exact same about fighting, racing, or other arcade-y games.

People like what they like, why shit on them for it?

You should definitely watch the General Sam videos of Kenshi. He makes it fun but also doesn’t hide how much of a bitch this game can be. He’s also probably why I got pulled into the game so hard.

I mean just save and reload a bunch. That’s what I do lol

I’m the exact opposite, in a different, but similar way that the other commenter is.

I will fall asleep trying to play almost any turn-based/tactical RPG you give me. It’s just too slow for me, and I can’t focus on stats or stacking effects that much. That’s why I like real-time action games. I’ve been playing the hell out of Fallout 4 lately and that is probably the fastest-paced game out of the entire series. There’s snappy gunplay in first- and third-person with a dedicated bash/grenade button, and you can pop out from behind cover when you aim. Also the whole customizing and modification system with the workshop and settlements.

Isn’t Binding of Isaac by the guy(s) that did Castle Crashers, which got their start on Newgrounds?

I haven’t played Isaac, but I’ve played enough Castle Crashers to know that it’s pretty gorey/scatty with all the weird poop “jokes” and whatnot.

I feel the same way about CC as you do about Isaac. It’s fun to play, but some of the themes either haven’t aged well or were already for a particular audience.

Kenshi Scrolls, Kenshi/Fallout, Kenshi Wars, Kenshi Effect, Halo: Kenshi, Kenshilands, Kenshi-Life…

There are so many awesome settings you could make a Kenshi game in.

I would probably damn near never leave the house if that game were to exist.

Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga (the last one that came out in like 22-23) has some good funny bits. The characters are voiced (with an option to go back to the classic “non-talking” characters) and when you’re in free play, sometimes the two playable characters will acknowledge each other.

Like say you have Episode 3 Anakin, and you change the other character to Palpatine; Palpatine might ask him if he’s heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis, and Anakin (or even Darth Vader) will exasperatedly say "yes, you’ve told me many times!" And there’s a bunch of others. Like Jar Jar getting memed on constantly throughout the main story.

If you’re okay with very casual games, give Thank Goodness You’re Here a try (and it’s apparently on sale currently)

That sounds like almost an exact description of the first Mario movie.

Sometimes I wish I had that dedication.

I want to like State of Decay, and I do for the most part.

But imo it just feels like “Not-Project Zomboid” if that makes sense. Like it’s almost on par with PZ, but not really. So whenever I play it, I just wanna play Zomboid instead.

Even with the world settings jacked all the way up it takes a stupid long time to mine just about anything other than stone or dirt, even with a top tier pickaxe and the requisite perks. And I will say exploration is a little iffy too, especially in the desert with all the verticality.

I broke down and started visiting a multiplayer server where it’s basically just a big store full of everything currently in the game so I could just take what I needed/wanted.

I remember when Oblivion came out and everyone found all the glitches and exploits, like the vampirism quest not finishing properly with Count Skingrad so you could just ask him to pay you over and over.

I also remember thinking it was a big deal anytime a developer sent out a patch for their game(s) around that same time. Like, damn you already made the game and now you’re doing more stuff to it?

Anyway I guess my point is people are impatient as fuck nowadays thanks to the internet.

I bought Valhalla on Uplay (or whatever it’s called now) back when it came out… And I spent 150 hours playing through it…

Tbh it was probably the most boring AC game I’ve ever played. It actually made me stop playing them at all because it just dragged on so goddamn long.
