…OR I will refer to records as “vinyl CDs” like I did last time.
You have been warned.
Don’t test me; I will do it!
Current games I have on my sights are:
The original Deus Ex
Ib
Infinity Nikki
Remnant II
Silent Hill II (through emulation)
Dragon’s Dogma II
Slay the Princess
ELEX and ELEX 2
Dread Delusion
Daggerfall
Morrowind
Hylics 1 and 2
RuneScape 3 (not RuneScape Classic… I know, I know, don’t hurt me!)
Currently playing:
Elden Ring (finishing it)
OMORI (slowly taking my time in finishing it)
Fallout 76 (much better than what it was at launch; if anyone wants to play with me, they may ask me)
Recently finished:
Disco Elysium
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous (y’all should play both Pathfinder CRPG games)
Love:
CRPGs
MMORPGs (yes, even now)
Open-world games (…yes, even with the over-saturation)
Decision-making
Stealth games
Pacifist runs
Minor horror elements? Eh, idk, nothing, like, over-bearing, ig
Macabre horror (basically, horror that isn’t horror; just has the aesthetic)
3D platformers (like Super fucking Mario; you know, the Italian-American voiced by Chris Pratt)
Mods, mods, mods
Not too fucking long; let me finish a game when I want to easily (so, basically, not, like, Persona 5-levels of long, idk)
Anything like Majora’s Mask
“Nautical games” (Wind Waker, Dredge, etc.)
“Classic games” (basically, games through emulation)
VR games, oddly enough
“Cozy games”
“girl games” shovel-ware (basically, the precursor to “cozy games”; the type of shit you found on the Nintendo Wii)
Interactivity outside of the actual game (I don’t know much about Pokemon Go… but what I do know is Pokemon Go to the polls)
Dungeon crawlers (think: King’s Field)
Music with lyrics, idk (I don’t know much about Quavo… but what I do know is Quavo go to the polls)
Good music. Banger music, even.
No loading screens; seriously, let me start up a game and just play. I feel like starting up a game nowadays is sometimes a whole process.
Non-Western games (…Eh, tbh, I don’t really have a bias, I’m just sort-of interested in how they’re developing and what they have to bring… SO think: Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Indian, African, Latin American, etc.)
Nintendo games…
…or anything LIKE a Nintendo game (with wacky gameplay, idk)
Autistic games… Okay, so far, I think OMORI is, like, the only “Autistic game” out there, but surprise me.
LGBTQIA+ games
BIPOC character games
… okay, that’s all, you don’t even have to follow these requirements at all; hell, be a little creative and use your own insight.
Okay… now…
…SHOOT!
(No, wait, put the gun away!)
It was decent when it was released. It had some great ideas that were only really realised in the second game. I think playing through it these days would be a bit of a slog and I’m not sure I would recommend it for a modern audience. I might suggest starting with 2, and if you need to play more, then play the first and third games (in that order). Everything after can be safely skipped.
Ah, maybe I should skip it, but then again, it might be nice to examine it from my 2024 vantage point.
If you do, don’t judge the franchise based on the first game. Silent Hill 2 is a very different game.
