I really want to play a Final Fantasy game at some point, but always seem to find something else play. Same thing goes for Dragon Quest games. I could ask everyone here which game from each series you recommend, but would I actually play it? Probably not. 😔
As for a single game I own, I will probably never play Disgaea 5. It’s been so long since I bought it.
I’ve been staring sideways at Divinity II for over two years now.
I got it because my friend suggested we play multiplayer online while it was on sale, but then he was never actually wanted to play once I installed it.
I liked isometrics 20 years ago, because they felt like they were pushing what you could do in a video game setting. Now, they seem like the go-to budget solution for developers. Which is fine. But, like, you’re not getting an FF7Remake or a DQ11.
Its just a lot of very small text. I tend to play on my living room television, so everything is very small and far away. Back when my face was shoved up against a CRT screen, I got to appreciate the fine details. You get a lot of granular choices that don’t always have a meaningful impact on the direction of the game. The games are loooong. Easily 60-100 hours, if you’re a reflexive completionist like me.
It just feels like an enormous time commitment when free time is in short supply. Back in school, when I felt like I had hours to kill every day and days to kill every break, I chewed through shit like this.
Maybe I’ll get back into CRPGs when I retire.
I got it at launch, and it had a bug that corrupted your save after TWENTY TO THIRTY HOURS.
I played the first act TWICE before i realized that it was a irreparable and inevitable glitch.
Any time I boot it up and make a character I remember that I’ve gotta fight bugs for an hour, and then break out of prison for like 10 hours and…
I just shut the game down. Absolutely my answer as well. Its a shame. I adored the combat.
Portal 2
I started playing it around when my mom died
It’s really good. I loved the first one. I played the multiplayer with a friend.
Just… yeah
Return of the Obra Dinn, because I don’t think it’s the kind of game that you can leave and come back to.
Disco elysium. I just get bored before day 3
Valkyria Chronicles, I always start it then bail because the mechanics are so clunky.
