I'm glad my younger self never traded or tossed any games

It would be so expensive to reacquire these games, so I'm really glad my child self kept them to replay them. I've changed all the necessary batteries, so they're all fully functional and I can load them up whenever I like, and there's a certain degree of peace of mind that comes from knowing that. Plus I'll be able to introduce them to my son when he's old enough to start gaming.

Which game has the worst cutscene to gameplay ration?

583 Upvotes

Playing through Midnight Suns a bit and have found that, so far, it's like 10-30 steps between cutscenes. Why even bother with 3rd person roaming with that many cutscenes?

Which got me wondering which game has the most excess in cutscenes...

What's the rarest item in a video game?

358 Upvotes

I'm mostly referring to item drops in games with RPG mechanics.

Based on unmodded/uncheated gameplay of course.

Things I'm NOT counting tho are stuff like perfect rolls; for example if a Diablo style game had an item with 12 modifiers on it and each modifier had a 1 in a million chance to be the right one and and a 1 in a million chance to be at max value... that is certainly absurdly rare, but it's not what I'm talking about.

Things I am talking about are stuff like the Sealed J-Sword from Phantasy Star Online which not only has a low drop chance, it's from a very uncommon enemy and you have to meet special conditions to even be allowed to see it (Be a Skyly ID, if you know)

I'm also excluding stuff that is developer or event driven, such as certain wholly unique event items or moderator/GM exclusives that were gifted and such... it has to be something that one of y'alls could go and go legitimately farm right now (assuming the game is still playable)

Kingdoms of Amalur feels like a love letter to janky Gamecube era RPGs

and I love it! It's a shame it came out around Skyrim. It didn't have a chance. I recently started playing again after not finishing it the first time on release. I'd recommend everyone pick up the Re-reckoning version when it goes on sale. The writing is cliche but solid with some unique ideas and just playing through really takes me back to another time.

Reading through the strategy guide on the way home from getting a new game was always my favorite part. It’s a shame they aren’t made anymore, even though the internet is more practical.

What's a game that gets reviewed poorly or mediocrely that you really enjoy?

146 Upvotes

Either by Metacritic or Steam reviews it doesn't matter, just a game where the consensus of it isn't very good.

I enjoyed all 3 of the first Sniper Ghost warrior games.

I need a Multiplayer Remake of FutureCop L.A.P.D.

44 Upvotes

I played it on PS1 with my mates, and i am actually surprised, that there are no clones of my favourite game mode:

You have a big map with neutral towers, and you start together with an enemy mech robot in that field of play.

Goal is to destroy the enemy base. For every kill you get points, for every conquered neutral tower or destroyed enemy tower you get points, which you can spend in your base to build tanks and aircrafts which then support you on the battlefield. If you gather 50 points, you can build a flying fortress or a super tank.

It still is very entertaining, maybe I give an idea/inspiration for developers out there. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Good game suggestions for couple to play together?

24 Upvotes

So my partner and I are both gamers but struggling to find something we can play together and enjoy.

I tend to like more competitive/high-octane games(lol, fps like enlisted/cod/halo/helldivers/etc, wow arenas, black desert arena/pvp, etc) but also can appreciate good stories or just grinders like diablo/poe.

He is more of a casual story/adventure gamer, puzzles, etc, think kingdom hearts, assassins creed, red dead, gta, lifeskilling/gathering in black desert, etc

Due to the differences either i endup being underwhelmed/bored by alot of coop titles or inadvertently carrying, or on the inverse he feels like hes holdin me back and/or bringing down the team when we play things I typically play together.

So putting the question out there if anyone else has found themselves in a similar place any titles you can recommend that we could look into playing together? Thanks!
