I've been playing Pokémon TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, and League of Legends.
But honestly, I've always wanted to play an offline game that I actually enjoy. I just don't know how to find that kind of game.

Played first two No More Heroes games to completion, refuse to play anything set after those two in the series. Overall, it's a pretty fun slasher to spend couple weekends on.
Gameplay is ok, game is honestly very fun when it's just focuses on what it does best, which is slasher aspect meanwhile minigames are more all over the place and vary from fun to torture, I found the gym minigames used to upgrade your character to be particularly painful in both games. Bosses are generally divided into three cathegories:
1) Solid bosses with tons of health and some decent moves.
2) Easy bosses, usually with some silly gimmick or a minigame slapped on top.
3) One chick named Walsh. She deserves a separate spot. She literally dies in under ten seconds, she has no blocking, has no evade, attacks very slowly, no hp, if you stagger her she literally can't protect herself in any way and just stays staggered till you combo her to death, I quite literally don't get how the hell did she get past playtesting phase in that state.
Story is actually quite good, characters are fun usually work quite well, protagonist is pretty likeable, surprising part was that despite obviously overall comedic vibe, the story can get quite emotional at times. My only real gripe is that I couldn't get into the romantic subplot until the end, not a fan of direction it went in in the end, to be honest, but I guess it's no biggie nobody remembers that part of the game when they talk about their favorite moments anyway.

Meh, to be honest, I don't understand why people called that one "the greatest adventure game ever made" so often on forums and stuff. It wasn't the worst, it pretty good at times, even.
But a lot of things about it actually sucked, twists were kinda predictable, shooting segments were awful. Atmosphere was good and few puzzles were quite good and that's about it.
Most interesting characters were killed off without addressing their character arcs, message is all over the place, plot gets incoherent at times and characters act very retarded at times, main character in particular, few times it feels like the whole thing is just retards fighting retards, main characters don't win because they're smart, they win because Snatchers are somehow dumber, but only slightly, to be honest.

I've been playing War of Rights. It's very fun. I thought I didn't care for FPS games but this one scratch an itch I didn't know I had. The core of the game is coordination between the players, and it's on a level I've never seen before. It's what makes a team win or loses. You can have the best shooters in your team, but if they decide to do their own thing, a team of complete noobs that can follow basic orders are able to absolutely crush them and I've seen it happening, it's hilarious. That aspect of it, and the American Civil War atmosphere really did it for me. It's satisfying to see a well coordinated military unit. Taking part in volleys, charges and tactical retreats is very nice and it's also interesting to see how and why shit hits the fan sometimes. I wonder if anybody here plays it. It's not a particularly wizardly game, being multiplayer and all, but it's the type of game that appeals to a very specific, nerdy niche, and I know there are plenty of wizzas here that fit that category.

I am playing cyberpunk 2077 in VR with the realVR mod. The mod costs $10 and you have to pay for it again any time an update to the game breaks something, but it is worth it.
I feel like this game was made to be played in VR. You get such a wonderful sense of presence and scale in VR and all the HUD and stuff just feels like it was built into the technology in your eyes. It's ridiculously immersive. I love driving in first person in my car which in games is normally basically impossible to do. In VR though you can look around like you normally would. The FOV isn't as good which still makes it a bit harder but it's totally doable.

>>60906I'm replaying Batman: Return of the Joker on Game Boy. It's a fantastic title that feels way more like a sequel to Sunsoft's NES Batman than the NES version of Batman: Return of the Joker, also it's almost like Sunsoft knew they'd lose the license over to the folks at Konami and made their own sequel to Tim Burton's canon, I don't mind though since it's a fun time really.
I'd say my main issue is the difficulty, a few specific parts are just BS, only ever beat it on "Easy".

>>63374I played this for the 1st time in 2024 where it took a lot of effort to beat if on "Easy" without save states, and on "Normal" even with save states… now I went back to it and I'm happy to update that I got a 1CC on "Hard" without save states or any form of cheating, I beat it legit, and it's fun how when you're good at it the whole thing takes like 10min to complete actually.
It's grown on me a lot, perfect Batman title for short bursts.

>>60906I'm playing Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster on PS1 and it rocks. It's a simple 3D beat 'em up with a few platform elements, a product of its time for sure, but I don't see any issue in that, beating people up is satisfying and that's all a beat 'em up needs to do right, it needs to feel good when you hit things and it does. I'm in the 3rd area of 5 and it's been a real blast.
I might get into more Jackie Chan video games ater this, maybe Kung Fu on NES.

been playing this game, witchfire. rutracker has the most updated version of it but id advise to not use the exe you see in the root folder but dig into the binaries folder and use that one, just in case aha.
Its pretty fun, I like how they blended in the rouguelike/soulslike elements hat they chose to put into their shooty game. Id call it doom but with souls mechanics. Most of my time is spent running through the same 2 levels shooting he same guys trying to git gud and to unlock what secrets I can, and grinding for souls before getting filtered by the next level. I enjoy how its tuned, the loop has hooked me. Its something nice to play after the wage.

Been playing Max Payne 1, and I think I'm gonna have to drop it. I played this game way back in the day on PS2 and then on PC at some point (like 10 years ago). I remember liking it okay enough back then, but it's not holding up for me.
First of all, it is not whatsoever compatible with modern hardware. The amount of dlls and patches I had to download to get this game to run properly is ridiculous. Then there was some bullshit with the framerate needing to be capped and the game crashes often. Sorry, but I'm over it.
Technical issues aside, I don't really like the gameplay either. To be frank, I think it's a poorly designed game. Bullet time is the entire gimmick, but with the way the levels and enemy placement are laid out, it seems like the game discourages running and gunning and slow-motion diving. It's much more efficient to just pop in and out of cover and take things slow, which matters because this game is annoyingly difficult with enemies that are very lethal (shotgun guys that one tap you, or dual wield uzi guys that shred your health within a second).
You're also always taking a lot of damage, and running out of bullet time which just further encourages taking it slow. Bullet time only regenerates when you kill enemies, which means that if you go into an encounter with a drained bullet time bar from a previous fight you can't even make use of the central gimmick of the game. Bullet time regen should have been passive, or they should have given you double the pool.
Enemy variety sucks as well. There's basically one enemy type, with the only difference being the gun they have. The bosses are just regular enemies with tons of health. Guns suck as well. Certain guns are borderline useless, and others obviously superior to the point your always going to stick to the same ones, and there's not to many of them in the first place.
I also really hate all narrative interruptions. I know that this game is known for its noir style narration and dialogue, in the form of those comic book cutscenes, but I really don't care for it. If I wanted to read a comic book, I'd go do that instead. Don't interrupt the main draw of the game (running around shooting dudes) with stupid cutscenes every 2 minutes. I find this particularly annoying, because there's stuff in the environment that you can interact with to trigger these cutscenes, apart from just the normal story cutscenes in between missions. I guess you don't have to interact with them, but I just think it's poor design and it's something that annoys me.
The story itself is also nothing special. I'm a big book guy, so I hate stories in games regardless. Yeah, the noir gimmick is nice and there's some nice lines here and there, but the overarching story is ridiculous and beyond pulp.
The game does some nice things, as well, like there's a lot of detail in the environment; the enemies have these little conversations with each other, there's fake TV shows playing on TV's, the environments feel realistic and grounded instead of just random hallways, etc. But, all in all, it's just not a game that has aged well (for me).

>>63592I liked it but I think they jumped on the GTA bandwagon too much with openworld gameplay. Morality systems just don't work in openworld gameplay but it's fun I have a corporate antagonist to troll. The plot runs similar to Total Recall and if you like driving dune buggies the game is pretty fun. I also like how the complicated destruction physics is introduced first, then you get the zap gun that just dematerlizes things instantly which is much easier from a programming perspective. But in the end the game doesn't have much replayability.

I'm playing Kingdom Come Deliverance II in VR with the RealVR mod. This is probably my GOTY. Such a masterpiece. The only thing I don't like is how it feels like doing the main quest content has kidnapped me and prevented me from playing the game. Also made me fail some side quests with no warning. Feels like I was punished for doing the main quest.

I've been playing GTA SA on my PS2. That's how I originally played it back in the day, but since then I've beaten it a couple of times on PC.
The PC version notoriously lacks a bunch of aesthetics flourishes, specifically lighting effects, but also things like reflections, the color grading, etc. There's also some very subtle stuff like rain effects looking slightly different. Stuff like that makes me think of how much stuff gets lost in between ports, even if it's subtle. All those little things add up and it creates a completely different atmosphere.
Also, this isn't specific to the game, but there's something about sitting down to play a game like this on console. On PC I tend to be less focused, have a tendency to alt-tab, or just save and quit the game because booting it up again takes like 3 seconds, etc. whereas the old-school console experience really makes me settle in.

>>63636Update: I may have to reduce my praise a little. I am still enjoying the game but the problem is it feels like they made it easier than the first one by quite a bit. Maybe it is just me being more familiar with the system but it feels like there's just been a decrease in the difficulty all around that is independent of that. I wish they made it a little harder to level up and gain money. Stealing stuff is incredibly trivial. You unlock a few chests everywhere you go in early game and then you can basically just steal anything with zero chances of ever being caught. You become basically invincible in battle too if you drink enough potions. I managed to max out my charisma stupidly early by using henry's lion's perfume and buying cheap clothes. Maybe I made a mistake by not choosing hardcore mode but I figured it would be really hard to navigate on hardcore without ever having played the game first. Not like you can chat up NPCs to ask for directions.
