Celeste, by fucking far... If you're doing the B and C sides of tapes - and especially if you're doing the dlc which is honestly probably the most rage inducing thing I've ever played. If you're just sailing through the main story and not doing any of the extra content (which seems unlikely), then cuphead is harder |

You definitely seem like the type of gamer who enjoys a consistent vision. Whether it be the more cinematic aspects of the Sony console games, or more indie titles with interesting artstyles. You enjoy a good challenge but you don't like games with complicated mechanics that take forever to understand. The more simple the game is, the more effective as a game it is for you. |

Just my opinion tho, but I would prefer playing Survivor over Veronica any day, at least that game is so bad that it ends up being good/hilarious |

gotta admit it's been a while since i last looked at TW3, but I do at least remember the characters and motivations of individual questgivers q clearly. maybe the content is balls and i've been suppressing it all this time, but that's already a step ahead of HZD in my book |

maybe but not in W3. also elder scrolls has awesome side quests |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.21.21 | @johnny Ok, I'll take about 20% off the drama here and be real about it
Witcher had a tonne of content it's true, and if you ignore the map being absolutely littered with some really trite repetitive B.S. - even more-so than usual for an open-world game - some of the side-quest content was definitely more substantial than in a lot of other similar games. But even so, I didn't love any of it, and it still felt like going through the motions and just derailing myself from the main plot to fatten up the play time. What I liked about Ghost of Tsushima is that everything was pared back, the side stuff was minimal but satisfying and it encouraged you to explore the map without it being a chore. HZD was a middle ground in that for me. It felt fresh, and the unique mechanics involved in weaponry and hunting the machine animals was more than enough to fill the game. There is almost always an unwarranted amount of crappy filler material in open world games, the story, characters, and mechanics are more-so what matter to me. In Witcher the story and characters didn't do much for me and the mechanics just felt like a combination of ideas borrowed from other games that I don't care that much about either. |

"maybe but not in W3. also elder scrolls has awesome side quests"
in terms of sheer quantity i'd say w3 and elder scrolls games win, but with that amount of content for every good side quest there are 10 boring fetch quests, treasure hunts, or copy pasted dungeons/battles. that's my main gripe. |

06.22.21 | The only Open World RPGs where I actually enjoyed the side quests was Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. I can specifically remember so many quests I did because of the personality in them. My favorite was the one where a dude hired me to shag his wife because he couldn't satisfy her in bed anymore.
Also Plague Tale: Innocence is a fantastic piece of brilliance |
Sharenge
06.22.21 | check out Dwarf Fortress |
BaselineOOO
06.22.21 | Why is there a debate about HZD being better than other games? It's an overrated junk food of a game. Its only redeemable qualities are its combat (with the robots) and graphics. The story is Ubisoft-empty and frankly, rather silly. Witcher 3 is superior, mainly because it has replay value, main story is better and most of the side quests are worth engaging in. Also the DLCs are great, especially the one with vampires, how's it called, Blood & Wine? I'd take this DLC alone over Horizon Zero Dawn. The parts when you have to make conversation with Regis are sooo cute. The writing is so fun and the endings are so satisfying as well.
Still, these two games are irrelevant to me. At this point in my gaming career, I'd rather just replay Dark Souls III and Dragon Quest XI until the end of time than waste time with western games. |

06.22.21 | seems like hollow knight will be my next purchase once i finish celeste in like 10 fucking years |
DocSportello
06.22.21 | You can totally finish Celeste in a few days, man. It’s surprisingly good at teaching you how to play. Embrace your failure |
loveisamixtape
06.22.21 | hollow knight never clicked with me but it is goood
i think my favorite level of celeste was the hotel. also kind of where it picks up |
Ryus
06.22.21 | i finished chapter 3 last night and some of those strawberries were fuckin brutal. and apparently the b- and c-sides are way worse |
Ryus
06.22.21 | yeah @love that was the chapter i just finished, grueling but fun. the controls are super satisfying |
loveisamixtape
06.22.21 | yea the end of 3 is so sick lol it took me so long. mirror temple which is 5 or 6 idr is when i started wanting to kms |
protokute
06.22.21 | do you start to get used to Celeste difficulty? I played it when I bought it for a few days, and while it was pretty damn hard, it was nothing out of this world. But I stopped playing it for n reasons, and after coming back to it after months, the difficulty was just crazy, and I put it down again... But I really wanna come back to it again someday |
Slex
06.22.21 | Yeah it definitely pulls you into its own rhythm the more you play it |
ChrimzonCanine
06.22.21 | “you play as a superhuman wolf man with cat eyes and hang out with witches.“
Well now I’m even more interested in playing it. |
loveisamixtape
06.22.21 | the key to beating celeste is to try and do it within like 3-5 days and not put it down |
bloc
06.23.21 | Yeah that game needs to be played regularly to keep the muscle memory intact |
Keyblade
06.23.21 | I just copped Hollow Knight on sale
I'd recommend Rayman Legends tho. I like Origins better, but it's not on the PS4, and Legends is almost as good. if you got a buddy with u it's a blast |
Ryus
06.23.21 | good looks key ill grab hollow knight while its on sale |
bloc
06.23.21 | Agreed with HK and both Rayman games. They're some of the best platformers ever. I booted up a new game of Rayman Origins just a couple days ago lol |
ChrimzonCanine
06.23.21 | The original three Rayman games are awesome, especially 2 and 3. |
Keyblade
06.23.21 | I love 3, it was my first. I bought it randomly on PC when I was a kid. it's so fun man and funny as hell
I still need to properly play 2, and not sure what platform to play it on. played 1 tho and it's very pretty but hard as shit, I've only scratched the surface tbh |
loveisamixtape
06.23.21 | think i’m actually about to play through all of cuphead after this thread lol i barely remember kind of playing it once |
ChrimzonCanine
06.23.21 | @Keyblade the Dreamcast version of 2 is considered by many to be the best version, but I’d recommend getting the PS2 version (renamed as Rayman: Revolutions), because it has more additional levels and story elements.
Anyways, 2 is probably the darkest of all the Rayman games and while the 3D graphics aren’t on par with that of 3, it’s still impressive for 1999 standards. |
Ryus
06.23.21 | "think i’m actually about to play through all of cuphead after this thread lol i barely remember kind of playing it once"
do it man, its frustrating but not to an annoying degree. once you get the boss patterns down and understand how to beat them then its just a matter of focus |
Keyblade
06.23.21 | thanks Chrimzon, I'll do that. can't lie tho the DC version was looking kinda crispy when I tried it recently |
Keyblade
06.23.21 | I wanna sit down and finish Cuphead too but every time I bring it up to my brother he doesn't wanna play. we did like 30% already, but that difficulty is off-putting lol |
Ryus
06.23.21 | its a lot more difficult co-op than single player imo |
loveisamixtape
06.23.21 | anyone ever played "this war of mine" lol? it's on sale for 90% off rn on switch. looks not fun at all but has like a 90% steam rating |
bloc
06.23.21 | When I'm thinking of buying a game blind because it's on sale, I typically watch the first few minutes of a walkthrough (with no commentary of course). It gives me full picture of what I'll be doing in the game and I can ask myself, ok is this what you wanna do. A review here and there from Gameranx or ACG also helps. Steam ratings are just a small piece of it imo. |
protokute
06.23.21 | @love
It's a pretty good game, very immersive, with the soundscape, music, world building, and pretty harsh on your actions/choices, it's amazing how much you attach to the characters you picked to play |

aydross121
06.26.21 | Witness is a masterpiece imo, not for everyone though. |
protokute
06.26.21 | Is the Witness on the same vein as Talos Principle? I have both on steam, and I almost finished the Talos Principle, and had a lot of fun with it |

loveisamixtape
06.26.21 | witness was free on ps4 like 1.5 years ago |

06.27.21 | n while we're talking about puzzly games...portal 2 |

06.27.21 | portal 2 is the best yea. co-op is super fun too |
loveisamixtape
06.27.21 | i actually beat the co-op and never finished the single player, though i did get close. tried to get it again on my Mac and it let me pay for it and download it, however since my Mac is 64 bit, i can't play it. so lame. i'm trying to fall into a new game soon but idk what to play besides cuphead which is awesome but i need something else too |

06.27.21 | Oooh I want to play the Portals again |

ghostalgeist
06.30.21 | prototype, i've been replaying it and dude its so fuckin fun. nier automata as well for somethin a little more recent |
DungeonBoy
06.30.21 | dude, I'm playing Nier Automata right now.. it's incredible |
rabidfish
06.30.21 | hollow knight is tight. Wish it had a bit more variety in scenery. Something that seems they'll work on for silksong. |
Ryus
06.30.21 | yea and some of the monsters feel kind of repetitive. the map system is also pretty fucking annoying. i love the aesthetic of the game though |
rabidfish
06.30.21 | eh, i like the map system. Forces you to ponder whether its worth it to start exploring a new area or backtrack to some other place and try your new abilities, see if you can unlock something. I always read the enemies in these kinds of games more like obstacles or puzzles rather than active oponents you have to fight, so i don't mind if most of them are like... Unremarkable. There are some very cool ones in the later game, tho. |
DungeonBoy
06.30.21 | The boss battles are also incredible, really make you think about their patterns for the most part without being stupid difficult. I felt Hollow Knight overall was just really balanced and fair, which I like in a game. It's one game that really rewards you for just exploring, and figuring out where to go on your own. A lot of thought clearly went into the exploration aspect and so many games could learn from the way they executed it in HK. |
Veks
06.30.21 | HK is one of the best games of all time. For several reasons, but just to name a few:
- The fact that like 3 people made it and yet it is smoother than most AAA titles.
- One of the best soundtracks of all time.
- Kickass world and depressing mood.
|
Ryus
06.30.21 | yeah the animation/atmosphere is basically perfect |
loveisamixtape
06.30.21 | that was def the draw for me as well. i never actually finished hollow knight but i was extremely close. need to play it again
it set me up v nicely for my first playthrough of Ori and the Blind Forest. idk if you ever bootcamp ur mac but if so, def look into ori if you like hollow knight. i played it on my switch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rTtWcBATk4 |
loveisamixtape
06.30.21 | def going to download the fuccck out of silksong when it drops |
Ryus
06.30.21 | yea ori looks great too, might give that a shot when im done w hollow knight |
loveisamixtape
06.30.21 | yeet. did u beat celeste? |
Ryus
06.30.21 | i did, i finished the first two b-sides but got to 3-b and was like fuck this
ill come back to it at some later point tho. i thought the levels/controls were great, everyone was hyping up the story but honestly it felt a little undercooked to me. idk. it really wasnt that emotionally affecting or anything. but the gameplay was excellent |
Ryus
06.30.21 | hows it goin for you with cuphead |
DungeonBoy
06.30.21 | yeah I didn't care for the story of Celeste, or really remember it tbh, but the gameplay was so fluid and fun |
Ryus
06.30.21 | yeah zooming around with madeline was so satisfying |
Havey
06.30.21 | caring about the story in bideo games is like caring about lyrics in music anyway
best level in celeste by far is the "dlc", so you still have the best to look forward to
3-b is like the hardest b-side, u don't gotta do them in order |
loveisamixtape
06.30.21 | this article def made me appreciate the entire story more, it's by the creator and it's them addressing lots of post-release speculation that the main character of Celeste is trans: https://maddythorson.medium.com/is-madeline-canonically-trans-4277ece02e40
"Well, yeah, of course she is. This feels painfully obvious to a lot of (mostly trans) people, and likewise it feels painfully obvious to me too, in retrospect. It has also become painfully obvious to me that I, myself, am trans. But these are things that I was not aware of during the development of Celeste, where I was writing Madeline and speaking from her perspective. Creating Celeste with my friends helped me reach the point where I could realize this truth about myself. During Celeste’s development, I did not know that Madeline or myself were trans. During the Farewell DLC’s development, I began to form a hunch. Post-development, I now know that we both are." |
loveisamixtape
06.30.21 | and i finally beat them damn frogs but have been getting absolutely obliterated by the fucking flower thing. literally so many things to dodge lol. haven't played it in a couple of days but will try to finish it this week for shore |
Ryus
06.30.21 | "caring about the story in bideo games is like caring about lyrics in music anyway"
depends on the type of game but yea for games like celeste i dont care that much. i was just surprised people love the story so much. fuck lyrics tho agrd
haha just wait for the 2nd world mixtape. the difficulty increases pretty significantly |
protokute
06.30.21 | Someone mentioned prototype above, and yes, it's really an underappreciated game, sure it has its flaws, and it certainly feels a bit dated by now I guess. But I had so fun with it back in the day, loved causing chaos in the city and using all those dope powers |
DungeonBoy
06.30.21 | I'll have to pick it up on sale if it's worth it, I saw it on sale on ps4 store a while back and it looked interesting enough |
protokute
06.30.21 | yea, and the story, although nothing spectacular, is actually quite interesting, considering how these virus/disease outbreaks things seems to be in games, I remember admiring how the outbreak progressed through New York, and things getting more fucked up with time |
Keyblade
06.30.21 | cant wait to play HK, I'm a sucker for metroidvanias. well not really, but SOTN and Super Metroid are GOAT, and I haven't really played any good other games in that genre. Ori is v nice tho
also story is pretty important for rpg's, but not so much any other genre. it's not like we're out here playing rpg's for the riveting turn-based combat |
loveisamixtape
06.30.21 | yeah an immersive or good story is more of a nice plus when it happens in a non-rpg, not so much a requirement for me. i don't have the attention span to pay attention to stories a lot of the time |

06.30.21 | 😠my brother makes me play destiny 2 with him and he calls it an rpg now because of the changes in the last year but I don’t agree so much. |
rabidfish
06.30.21 | i think story in games can be very important, problem is when games tryna be movies or tv shows instead of being their own thing. Uncharted stuff and things like that can be cool, but i rather watch someone else play it than play myself. The actual act of playing the game takes away from my experience as spectator, if that makes any sense. |
bloc
06.30.21 | They call almost anything an RPG these days. As soon as you implement "stats" on a character, boom it's an RPG |
DungeonBoy
06.30.21 | Stats are a pretty important element of RPG's, what do you guys want like random encounters with turn based battles? Genuinely curious. Seems like most RPG games have gone the way of something like the modern Tales games |
Keyblade
06.30.21 | i was playing the first uncharted a while back. hella boring. not tryna see cutscenes every 3 minutes. couldnt care less about what dumb ass treasure he's trying to find lmao |

06.30.21 | the cool thing about ori is that it tries to break ur heart right off the bat and there's no way to ignore it. katana zero also for example has a super fun story and is also super fun to play. the story in hades is also cool since it is a rogue like and dying over and over again is basically crucial to the story |

06.30.21 | "caring about the story in bideo games is like caring about lyrics in music anyway"
This can definitely be true but a lot of times it is the opposite.
A videogame can be like a book if the story is good. It engages you and transports you to a different world and allows you to actually be a part of the story. Of course this depends on the genre but that is the reason why my favourite games have always been Rpg/Adventure Games.
I introduced my wife to adventure games. She played Syberia and The Longest Journey. That last one fucked her up so bad she was never able to play another game cause she says they all suck and can't pull her in to the story like TLJ did. I know that the game had as much an impact on her as her favourite books.
Same goes for me. Video game stories truly have shaped part of my personality and way of thinking about lots of things in life. |
aydross121
07.01.21 | Personal preference, but more traditional storytelling methods in video games is kinda lame most of the time. Like yeah lou2 has a great story, but it still is a movie story.
Environmental storytelling as the main device is very unique to videogames, and imo is the way forward. |

Yeah I can relate to that. I still have fond memories of my Habbo Hotel days. Don't think it ever got as big in the US as it did in europe and latin america |

07.12.21 | ori is amazing. i personally like it more than HK but millions would disagree with that i’m sure |

Just a rumour, but there could be a Bloodborne port coming to PC. |
BaselineOOO
07.12.21 | guys pls recommend me a game where I can pretend to be someone I'm not (I really hate myself thx...) |
protokute
07.12.21 | yeah, i think the closest game to Hollow Knight would be the Ori series. But give The Messenger a look, it's a more oldschool metroidvania game, but really good and challenging. |
bloc
07.14.21 | Salt and Sanctuary is another good metroidvania |
Keyblade
07.14.21 | i'm playing metroid zero mission right now and it's so good. gonna go thru the series 1-4 before Dread comes out |
DungeonBoy
07.14.21 | The Messenger and Salt & Sanctuary were both great. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Blasphemous, Death's Gambit, Xeodrifter, Timespinner, Momodora are all worth checking to if you have a ps4, most are probably ported to others as well. |
DungeonBoy
07.14.21 | Keyblade, Zero and Fusion were both top notch. Check out AM2R if you haven't. |
Keyblade
07.14.21 | oh that looks sweet. I was going to play the 2017 3DS remake of Metroid 2 next. any idea how they compare? |
DungeonBoy
07.14.21 | I've never played the 3DS version, but "technically" that one is canon since AM2R was a 10 year fan passion project. But that being said, I prefer the SNES style pixel art of AM2R and absolutely loved the gameplay. AM2R is a very loyal remake of Metroid II from the gameboy, but expands on the lore a bit (all canon though). If you think Super Metroid was one of the best Metroids ever made, you'd probably prefer AM2R. |
bloc
07.14.21 | Metroid Fusion was pretty scary back in the day with the clone stalking you. They did a good job with that. |
Keyblade
07.14.21 | AM2R sounds exactly up my alley. not much of a PC gamer tho, and I hate playing games on my phone. 3DS it is for now. plus I wanna get hype for Dread which has the same 2.5D look |
DungeonBoy
07.14.21 | Nice, yeah Dread has my interest for sure. Might need to buy a Switch at some point and play the massive backlog of games i've been missing |
Deathconscious
07.15.21 | Metroid Zero Mission, Metriod Fusion, Super Metroid, and Metroid Prime are all masterpieces. |
protokute
07.15.21 | There was a time when I loved playing building simulator games like the Roller Coaster Tycoon series, Zoo Tycoon 2, Cities XL, and Cities Skylines, but now I just seem to have lost my patience and creativity for these kinds of games, unfortunately... |
