FO4 on good shit but skyrim on OK shit? Tangox pls
FO4 was pretty good, but skyrim is :ok_hand_medium_skin_tone: :ok_hand_medium_skin_tone: :ok_hand_medium_skin_tone:
Also I will never not recommend Ori and the blind forest for single player platformy games (most of yours are a bit more advanced kinda games than that, but Ori is awesome for chilling with)
-
I liked Skyrim, but it was incredibly annoying to play. The difficulty was completely imbalanced, there is no quick select for weapons and spells, spent ages fiddling with inventory, repetitive quests where I kill skeletons, quest braking bugs (like all Bethesda games...) etc. FO4 had some problems, but was a much smoother experience. (Anyway this is a pretty rough list, Fallout is probably at the bottom of the good shit).
Take something simple like casting candlelight. Special edition has fancy lights, so I pretty much have to use a torch or a spell to light up indoors or it's pitch black dark. A torch takes up a weapon slot so it's only good until you find an enemy and must switch to a weapon. Candlelight follows you around, but only last 60 seconds. So I have to bring up the favourites menu, which pauses the game, scroll to candlelight, hold a button for two seconds to cast it, pause and bring up the favourites menu once again, scroll up and select my weapon. Then one minute later I have to do it all over again.
Ori looks pretty good, but personally I am completely done with 2D-platformers after owning a WiiU. The only games I have access to, and I am interested in are:
- Dishonored 2
- Some kind of Dark Souls
-
I have played (defining "played" as at least 2 hours playtime) precisely 4 of those games. And 2 out of those only because they are originally from the 90s when I played more games. (The remaining being Talos and Undertale.)
I haven't played much single-player outside of the Switch of late. Don't have a comfy enough chair for playing on the computer.
-
All true for skyrim. Especially the balance - play a stealth archer or a magic boi and just wreck everything.
DS3 is amazing, I will always recommend that too.
-
Get yourself a long hdmi-cable and a PS4 controller. Playing single player hunched over a desk is something I will only do if Half-Life 3 comes out.
-
pfft, we all know you've got that Razer sofa thing at home Tango, never mind the controller
-
I even have a philips hue RGB light bulb mounted under my couch, looks pretty sick.
-
I really hope you actually do, but I feel I'll be disappointed

Not going to bother with all that proper a setup in my current apartment, I am enjoying the switch a lot so really I'm covered (not least this one got popular enough that I think I can reasonably expect ports of anything good, thinking of rebuying nu-Doom for more relaxed play in fact).
-
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
-
Brb buying one of those
-
I must recommend the Yakuza games 0 and kiwami 1 on PC. They are so good I have also played kiwami 2, 6 on PS4 and it did not disappoint me at all. Best way to describe it its like Shenmue. The story is fantastic and the side quests/activities are funny and over the top. It does take awhile to get to the best things of free play but it is well worth it. Defiantly take a look at it.
-
Hehe, recommending a very popular broadly available game by comparing it to an obscure game available only on a platform literally no one bought ;D
Also Avengers: Infinity War was pretty cool, best compared with the 1958 polish film Ashes and Diamond.
Except Infinity War was unwatchable dreck of course.
And I've heard a million recommendations for Yakuza 0, very persuaded it's great. Not committing to another game atm, but those low on that sort of game should certainly take notice.
-
Return of the Obra Dinn is cool and good. The aesthetic is mostly distracting though, same game with more conventional (even if bad) graphics would have been better.
-
brb moving into Tango's place, that looks great
-
I remain a sucker for the Phoenix Wright games as well, having played them on the GBA back in the day. Again basically visual novels, but the setting is a Japanese kind of crazy, and the mysteries are at times very nicely mindbending.
e: And it's on steam these days, was the reason I made the post.
-
Play Ori and the Blind forest. Its pretty and game animation is amazing. Platformer with puzzles and skill and abit of combat.
-
Pretty decent sale on the Epic store atm, Thimbleweed Park, which is a really good modern Lucasarts-style adventure is €5, as is each season of Walking Dead.
-
Browsing the store also reminded me that Fortnite killed the new Unreal Tournament, making me quite quite sad.
