>Counter-Strike 2
I'm new to this series of games but finally get the appeal of them. The guns feel great to use, and outsmarting my enemies is very gratifying. Even if I die during a round I get to spectate someone else and either cheer them on or ask my monitor what the hell that guy thinks he's doing.
>Rez
The visuals in this game are fantastic, and it has a great soundtrack that reacts to the action on-screen and gets more intense as you progress through a stage. The gameplay is dead simple even for a rail shooter, but it gets a pass by feeling like a playable music video. It's a blast to play in VR, too.
>Dark Souls
One of my favorite games. I like the message that this game has about overcoming adversity and self-doubt, and I love sword and sorcery settings. I like the enemy designs and the level design a lot. I really like how the player is forced to travel the overworld before they get the Lordvessel.

Original. One of the first games I recall clearly from my early teenagehood? Or was it still childhood?
Because it's a different racing game, multiple ways to win the race. I love the mouse cursor, they don't make them like that, do they? Anna is a hot teen, and you'd never know in the game, that actress is teen. It forces moralfags to shit bricks and causes a lot of butthurt. So much so, they try to censor and ban the game in different countries and it reveals the true colors of those people and explains why the governments, and hence the world sucks so much.
>Minecraft
It's indie (was indie, which just shows how retarded AAA is and was since early 00's). It's virtual legos! What's not to like about legos, except price? It's open world. Proper open world. Largest open world and you can interact with any and all of the cubes and stuff in it. No other games ever even really came close, except for some of the clones. If you bought it early in the dev, like I did, chances are you've only paid 5 or 10 dollars for it.
Third one will be hard, so many great games to choose from! Let's say RA2, I guess. >Red Alert II
hot girls, decent music, nice story, great balance, lots of fun in multiplayer, Albert Einstein, fun cutscenes, neat ideas. Ok, you might not consider RA2 to be the greatest RTS ever and I'd agree. But, if you don't think that RA2 is a good, quality videogame (esp by 2023 standards), then you don't know anything and there is nothing to talk about with you. You wouldn't be able to taste the difference between candy and shit.

In heaven, girls actually love video games. And heaven is real because NDEs are irrefutable proof of life after death, because anyone can have them if they come close to and survive death. And they are so undeniably real to those who have them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U00ibBGZp7o
As this NDEr described their NDE:
>"I saw how life never ends. I remembered the process of reincarnation is endless, wonderful and truly eternal. I witnessed my own spiritual evolution and saw that I had existed long before this present incarnation (where I am now a male human). For me, watching the process of living life, after life, after life unfold, was mind-blowing! I undeniably observed that I had lived an innumerable amount of lives. My NDE clearly showed me that these bodies (we now inhabit) are not the first and only time we have existed! I saw that our soul and spirit is ancient! I also observed that there is no such thing as death."
And importantly, even dogmatic skeptics have this reaction, because the NDE convinces everyone:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist
So anyone would be convinced if they had an NDE, we already know this, no one's skepticism is unique. And the book in pic related is known to convince even hardened skeptics that there is an afterlife.
>muh brain chemistry
Neuroscientists are convinced by NDEs too. What do skeptics think they understand that neuroscientists do not?
>muh DMT causes it
Scientifically refuted already, and NDErs who have done DMT too say that the DMT experience, while alien and really cool and fun, was still underwhelming to the point of being a joke when compared to the NDE.
>MechWarrior Online
Pretty much the only online game i play for the moment. Its pretty neat, thou not many play it.
Its a team vs team game where you build a big robot, desing it and help your team to win, but until you make a proper desing that you know you can use you are likely going to try and figure out the best way to play each mech. There are tons of mechs too, all of them being pretty unique in their own ways. >Mount and Blade Warband
You get to create your own mercenary army, play politik, be a hero or a raving mass murderer. Its pretty open, combat its very fun, and tons of modules with many different settings always keep things fresh and interesting. Using tactics from the medieval era doesnt apply much to the era when flintlock weapons start to get developed. >Yakuza 0
It looks great, combat its really fun, and its a strange but perfect blend between being serious and completly silly. You would be investigating some randoms guy murder thats being pinned in the protagonist, only to get sidetracked to play Mahjong because you can, then defend yourself from 5 different groups of muggers when trying to buy a burguer and get drunk, THEN get into a sidequest where you help a little kid to get back his videogame that he used all of his savings to buy from a thieving bully who lost the game to another thieving bully who also lost the game from an armed mugger who wanted to get the game for his son that turns out its the kids father who wanted to make his kid happy, not knowing the kid bought the game with his own money because he is worried that his parents relationship its in shambles since his dad is always wasting money trying to make him happy to the point its commiting reckless spending. Then the dad realises he has to be a better example for his son, they hug and leave. I really liked that quest.
The game is neat.
>Mount and Blade Warband
This is a game I want to like but can't seem to get into. Starting off is quite punishing, and I've found the combat to be somewhat difficult to control.
>thinly veiled rec thread is successful because of the framing, date with a pretty girl >anons like the idea of going on a date with her so much they actually give recs
No pretty girl is into gaming. Those streamers aren't either. Gaming is something she got into, because of a masculine guy that was fucking her.
You'll never be that masculine guy.
>Final Fantasy Tactics
Extremely solid tactical gameplay paired with robust unit customization. Great story with likeable characters and perhaps the greatest villain / anti-hero ever made in the medium. Even the games flaws make it better, like how imbalanced classes are or how ridiculous you can make a single unit. Hidden characters, secret items, alternate win conditions, the game is just chock full of Soul as the cherry on top.
>Brave Fencer Musashi (PS1)
100% goof troop. All the characters are named after food. All the powers are silly and the animations are slapstick. Yet some how the game still has a strong element of "bad ass". The fights with Kiro are spot on the samurai Aesthetic. Fairytale -Samurai that's 50/50 jokes/action and two great tastes taste great together.
>Ico
This one's almost all aesthetic. I like puzzle games in general and while the mechanics for most of them are pretty simple, there are so many little details that make it clear the goal of the game was to "take the player to another world". We learn almost nothing about the setting but the details we do get are dramatic and compelling. Human sacrifice. Cursed children born with horns. Witch Queens and their sea side castles at the end of the world. Little mechanical things too, like the fake language -with- fake alphabet subtitles. The fact that he had different call outs based on distance and the hand holding. The little details made it easier to imagine being in that world and the world was weird. You can say a lot of this same stuff about Shadow of the Colossus too.
I like Team Fortress 2 because you can join and leave lobbies as you want, and because the teams are so large, if your team is losing, you can take it seriously and challenge yourself to try and carry the team, or if your team is winning, you can just fool around and play in a more novel way.
I like Left 4 Dead 2 because it's a genuine co-op game where you can't succeed on your own, you have to pay attention to what your team mates are doing, and while half the game feels like a semi-realistic shooter, the other half is you playing a random glass cannon zombie and you have to improvise and quickly figure out where to stand and when and who to attack, it forces you to think on your feet.
I like Undertale because the music is catchy and the writing is pretty funny.
I know you actually wanted three obscure games, but I'm too lazy to think of any. Why are you drinking pickle juice?
>Frasier on SNES
Timeless classic. Trying to get the pomegranate honey sauce right while Niles accidentally sets one of the guests on fire, getting a table at le cigar volant last minute, so many great levels. >Battle for Corkmaster
Nearly as good as Frasier on SNES. Not as much variety since it just focuses on the battle for corkmaster. I could never figure out how to beat Martin in the talking-to episode. >Frasier 64
Guilty pleasure, plus the polygonal graphics look hilarious, Frasier's head is literally a cube.
Valkyria Chronicles 2, I enjoy the unusual way of presenting turn-based strategy as well as the story characters and the setting
Battle Garegga, My favourite 2D shooter with fun but simple medal scoring, ammo system which turns into bombs if enough is collected (if you use a bomb without a full one, you use up ammo and it lasts shorter) also the only one afaik in which you're encouraged to use bombs for more than self-defense
Patapon 1 I love the unique combination of real-time strategy with a rhythm game, on top of great music, nice visuals and fun albeit a little simple boss battles

Be honest and get neither.
Be the honesty chad, disregard bitches.
>be honest

This is always a bad strategy.
Yet it is the true strategy and knowing it has a bad outcome one must choose it anyway. For is bitch really worth losing oneself for?
