me with skyrim, but ive only beaten the main quest twice, despite having like 12 different characters (10 nords that look like me, 1 khajiit, 1 high elf that looks like me, which is also my latest character)
I've probably played 100 hours of Oblivion and Skyrim and am sad to say I've never once completed the main quests...
Terraria for me
I always do summoner and then near the end I think to myself that I should play melee next time. A year passes. I play a summoner. Near the end I think to myself that I should play melee next time. A year passes...
I always played melee and always thought that I should play a different class... I did ranged once and that's it.
Have you tried Calamity?
Yea but never really got into it
Even though I think it's a very well made mod
Post Moonlord content is pretty good, since the base game wasn't nowhere near as challenging.
Welp, I can't allow a thread like this to exist without mentioning the original Deus Ex.
Ugh, gotta reinstall it now.
Do randomizers count? If so, I play though Link to the Past like 15 times a year
I had never even considered that there might be randomizers for classics... I'm going to look up this one!
There's randomizers for Super Metroid too. And I've even seen one that's LttP and Super Metroid together played at games done quick lol
Ok, this is something that I'm looking forward to trying. Just gotta figure out how you're supposed to download these.
https://alttpr.com/en/randomizer for Link to the Past
https://sm.samus.link/ for Super Metroid
https://samus.link/ for the combined version
You will need a ROM of whichever game you want to randomize (or both in the case of the combo randomizer)
I’m pretty sure there is for Dark Souls…
I've seen the videos of these, although I've always been hesitant to mod my game.
To be safe put it in offline mode. You can always do a clean install later. I do prefer being online but if you’ve played the crap out of it already it shouldn’t matter much
I think I have more fun with Ocarina of Time randomizers than I did actually playing OoT
A mark of a great game is its replayability. I know for some that's difficult because of the knowledge you have afterwards, but it can still be fun to relive things. On the flip side, a not so great game is the one where you never want to go through the struggle and grind again because it frankly wasn't fun.
It really depends on the game.
Some games are challenges that many people feel as completed when they finish it. For me, that would be Portal. The storytelling through the setting was great, but the main focus was the puzzles which aren't as fun the second time through. Portal 2 has a great story that makes it fun to replay, but that doesn't mean Portal was a bad game because it didn't have a story line worth replaying. Plus Portal 2 had the additional custom puzzles that made it worth playing outside of the story itself.
Being an unfun challenge is definitely the sign of a bad game., or at least a bad match for the player. I'm sure there are plenty of people who think Dark Souls/Elden Rings are bad games because of the frustration factor, some only play it once to get the satisfaction of beating it, and there are people who play through it over and over again.
I have been playing Sekiro with a randomiser recently, really helps breathe some new life into games you've beaten like 10 times already.
I still bring up the sega shadowrun sometimes.
I've never played that one, but the SNES Shadowrun was a lot of fun.
FTL. Just got an RX 6750 XT and here I am playing it instead of Alan Wake 2 or some other graphically demanding title.
Ahh, this is me with Toy Story 2 for PS1... I have yet to try the dream cast version!
I remember liking the Dreamcast version!
I truly wonder if it has some QOL changes, or at least better visuals, anyway I have my nostalgia googles for the PS1 version... But it would be interesting... And I dare I'm curious for another game session.
Freelancer(2003). Replay this at least once a year.
I had Freelancer with me on a deployment one year. Running space convoys by night, getting ambushed for my diamonds and stuff, running real convoys by day, getting ambushed for geopolitics.
Every time I pick up the disc, it takes me back.
I’m working on my first playthrough of Sekiro right now but I’m kinda stuck. Corrupted Monk just takes so little damage from my attacks I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong.
I haven't played for years, but from what I remember, the posture damage is shit. There are moments where the Corrupted Monk is open after an attack I think. This is the moment to strike.
Edit: it took me back haha, but there are those big attacks where you have a red symbol over your head, you dodge that attack and strike.
Factorio, fallout 4, Morrowind, borderlands....
Stardew valley is the wife's main one.
Okay, fine, I'll reinstall New Vegas.
Just fired up Morrowind again. Man that game was revolutionary
Meanehile Stop Killing Games in EU and Canada: Rise and shine, mister Freeman. Rise and shine.
Me and “Kirby Super Star” for the SNES
All the fromsoft games for me haha
I think I've either beaten Elden Ring or DS3 the most. I very rarely replay games; I usually finish the story or get 100% completion and then don't play again for years.
But I loved PVP in these and the way you gather items to make builds kinda requires playing through practically the whole game (especially if you want to use an item only dropped by the final boss).
Before these, the only other two games I beat many, many times in a short time span before I got tired of them was Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and Silent Hill 3. And they were all just to get the badass super weapon that they all only gave you after beating the game like 5 or 6 times. Ico's and Shadow's weren't even worth it. That maul in SH3 so is though. I love that thing 😋
When I found out people are adding achievements to retro games (retroachievements.org)
I've played a lot of Super Monkey Ball 2. Time for a bit more
For me it's Pathologic 2 - been replaying that shit yearly as a some sort of tradition
Any SMT game
If it was fun the first time, it will be fun years later. If it's not, it was probably only getting by on the graphics wow factor.
I do it because I'm old and don't want to learn new things.
