I have never had 7 hour expierience of vidya ruined by a single ending, that is until I forced myself trough the nonary games port of 0 escape 999.
Then I went trough internets, only to have a small breakdown at how normalgays gobbled it all up without any questions regarding plot holes and paradoxes created solely by "true" ending.
I even wrote a small essey in .txt format, to get rid of those numb thoughts once for all.
If any Gankergay has genuine interst I can post it if I find it.
Other then that the reveal scene from Heavy Rain hits hard.

I want to replay the game. But last time I played I was getting stuck like every 30 minutes. I think I got like 5 hours in.
Do you have a suggestion on how to handle it if I replay it? I’m typically really good at CRPGs. It probably didn’t help that I was 8/10 baked the whole time. But if I replay it, being stoned is non-negotiable. It seems like such a perfect game to play stoned.
Couple suggestions for an easier/more enjoyable time:
1. Regardless of the build you want, always put physicality and psyche at at least 2. This makes the game much more forgiving by making sure you don't get one shot by a bad choice. If you take a hit in either you can immediately eat some pills to get them back up
2. Always bank one skill point. So for your first level up, don't spend it and always keep 1 point available for use. This will ensure if you hit a white check you really want to/need to pass then you can use the point and try again immediately
3. If you hit a wall, don't bang your head against it. You gotta roll with the punches. If something doesn't go your way, go wander around, talk to other people/look at other things, and perhaps focus on a different objective for a while. Almost every problem in this game has multiple approaches to solve it, not all of which are readily available at all times. If you keep trying to brute force your way through a certain solution the game can seem extremely unforgiving. You are meant to fail some tasks and failure is not always bad in this game.
Final fantasy 15 too tbh, even with all its problems I really liked the 4 main guys >you guys... are the best >"stand by me" by Florence and the machine
Fuuuuck
I've been thinking about it, and I'll have to give FFXV a try, it seems comfy enough. I'm not expecting to be satisfied by gameplay, so it'll be alright.
I've been thinking about it, and I'll have to give FFXV a try, it seems comfy enough. I'm not expecting to be satisfied by gameplay, so it'll be alright.
FFXV is super underrated, it was rightfully criticized for being so unfinished at launch and there’s a lot of stuff that just makes no sense but I still had so much fun playing it. The ending is very good. The characters are somehow endearing despite being given literally no development. It’s really tragic honestly thinking about how great that came could have been if it didn’t go through dev hell
t. beat it at launch
I remember liking the way leveling works but don't really remember why. Just make sure you get the abilities that give you xp and ability points from riding in the car and chocobos asap because that's how you go everywhere so it adds up a ton
The old games were a little too abstract for my taste. But when Spec Ops: The Line came out in '13, I think the genre really solidified, commercially and artistically. The whole game has an intense, visceral atmosphere, and a thin sheen of clintonian propaganda that really gives the mood a big boost. The game has been compared to Bioshock, but I think The Line has a far more bitter, cynical take on ludonarratives.
I think its the undisputed masterpiece of video games as a narrative storytelling medium. It's a game so engrossing, most people probably don't pay attention to what they're actually doing. But they should, because it's not just a game about the pleasures of conformity and self-delusion - it's also a meta-narrative about the game's subversion of trends in and of itself
Zoomer language is pathetic >Hits so different
So the game has an effect on you different from other games? Imagine if we had some words to describe the difference. Oh well. I guess that is bey... Oh hey look another tiktok video. What were we doing? Cap cap no bus fr fr
Sonic Adventure 2
Danganronpa THH sequels were technically better but didn't leave the same impact on me as the first
Silent Hill 2 you know what ending im referring to
Half Life 2 EP 2
These are just a few off the top of my head
you are real fricking dumb in this topic. like super fricking dumb. god damn "weekend" Ganker has to be filled to the brim with brown kids. it is what it is. brown kids i guess want to socialize...top fricking kek
why do pseuds think this is some amazing quote? people that like rpgmaker games have to be the most mentally ill shitstains I've ever met, probably overlap with weebs.
I beat this for the first time this year and it was my GOTY over Elden Ring and getting to the credits was such a rush of videogame catharsis, what an adventure
Brought me back to beating Demons for the first time.
Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of dusk.
The journey was surreal.
It had it's laughs
It had it's tears
It took me about a week to get over it.
Can't wait to play Labyrinth of Galleria when it's finished getting localized.
I hear it's a much different story, but more of the gameplay I enjoyed.
God, bros, anyone, please help me. I just want this feeling again. I haven't felt it in so long. Beating some of my favorite single player games as a teen and early 20s are still some of the happiest moments I've been alive. But nowadays I can barely play for 3-4 hours a day before getting bored, I drop shit often, I never feel emotional at anything, I never truly love games, etc. I would give my left nut to fix this. I'd be truly content if I could just spend the rest of my life just playing vidya and having these feelings over and over again, but they're just not coming to me. What do?
Take a year or 2 off gaming entirely. I just did that and started playing games recently feeling complete joy again. Also stay away from the certain games with political agenda woven into them because they really sour the experience
What did you do during those two years? I'm a schizoid and don't have any real life hobbies. No, before you say it, this isn't the cause of my depression or whatever. I haven't had friends since I was a teen and I was still loving games then.
Lift weights, go for walks, watch animes, mild funposting on chans. I basically just didn't turn on my gaming pc for a while all of this also helps with depression btw
>stopped playing games for 2 years >came back more deranged than ever, obsessed with political messages
you Black folk should really just stick to playing video games
bro if you've been playing games for 20+ years you would be very aware of how much political messaging is woven into recent games
in the past the games were just that, games and stories were being told for the purpose of telling a good story not to highlight real world political issues
I don't get the obsession people have with recent releases. You could play for 16 hours straight every day for years and you'd still have a backlog of great games that you still need to get to from the past. But everyone's always rushing at the newest release for some reason.
If it looks like it's your thing, it's been a year and everyone else is still discussing it and calling it great, then yeah, do try it. But waiting for something to immediately release to try it is moronic.
Sounds like you've exhausted video game experiences, and need to look for fresh experiences outside of gaming.
Could be a scary thought, depending on what kind of person you are and your current life situation.
Good news is that there's a lot more potential for great feels outside of games.
no, i often get annoyed at how long the credits are for video games. i don't give a shit about Han Joo Park the QA tester, i want to go back to the home screen so i can shut off my Xbox and jerk off to porn.
Dark Souls 2 - this has more of a personal story that I will not tell here;
Disco Elysium
Bastion

The Last of Us
Silent Hill - Shattered Memories

for me this was P4G like 2 years ago. Last time must have been SMRPG twenty years ago. But i'm playing P5R right now and it's fricking awesome. I'm only 2 months in thankfully, but i'm going to be pretty depressed when I finish it. Hate that empty feeling, the end of escapism
>Xenoblades
2/3 ended happily and the 3rd still had a more optimistic bitter but mostly sweet ending and I feel like shit when I beat em, probably cause I want more to distract me form the hopelessness I feel for real life.
Some of my favorite games somehow ended up on an underwhelming note. It's not even the game ending itself, but things like loading a game just to find out you were already at the end of or, so that last session takes you 30 minutes at most and thats the end of it. It makes me feel so empty
I feel like only older games made me feel this way since once you beat the game that's basically it.
Modern games are just basically "well hey, there's a post-game I can dick around with until I move on to the next game".
thanks randy
funny; laughed
That was my exact reaction after beati g the mass effect trilogy for the first time. I didn't have an issue with the ending because the journey was just so good

No one tell him.
the irony of posting this after years of absorbing consoomer onions wojak memes and having a coded impression of games you've never played written to the core of your brain
The irony is it was bait and the other anon has no critical thought process to realise it was bait, moron
I appreciate that most are understandable picks, and atleast you play games unlike some people here
Chrono Trigger has multiple endings and paths though.

At least anon plays games
The spaces between the games is what makes it
maybe you're a true gamer playing games.
Never felt that way for a video game, but I have for a book.
Are these any good?
nice
It hits so different that it slaps, it claps, it snaps. Then the music starts playing and the music is a bop
Disco Elysium. Blackwell (the last one)

I've been thinking about it, and I'll have to give FFXV a try, it seems comfy enough. I'm not expecting to be satisfied by gameplay, so it'll be alright.
Don't expect any romance or plot involving the girl either. It really did the bros right though with some rough patches
FFXV is super underrated, it was rightfully criticized for being so unfinished at launch and there’s a lot of stuff that just makes no sense but I still had so much fun playing it. The ending is very good. The characters are somehow endearing despite being given literally no development. It’s really tragic honestly thinking about how great that came could have been if it didn’t go through dev hell
t. beat it at launch
Sounds like it did something (special) right. That's already more than I expect from most video games. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
(Bummer about having no romance, but bromance will have to do)
I remember liking the way leveling works but don't really remember why. Just make sure you get the abilities that give you xp and ability points from riding in the car and chocobos asap because that's how you go everywhere so it adds up a ton
It did bittersweet really well. The first DLC with Noctis running around the festival with Carbuncle managed to add to the bittersweetness of it all
For me it's Yakuza 0
The old games were a little too abstract for my taste. But when Spec Ops: The Line came out in '13, I think the genre really solidified, commercially and artistically.

This is very true, no need to rush at all and I completely agree with waiting for a while before getting any game unless it's multiplayer-focused.
Play Outer Wilds.
Sounds like you've exhausted video game experiences, and need to look for fresh experiences outside of gaming.
Could be a scary thought, depending on what kind of person you are and your current life situation.

This unironically happen also with girls. I can't feel anymore the same after the first one.
I was feeling like this for a while, I started reading books and watching movies and exercising and now I like video games again
Replay the old games.
no, i often get annoyed at how long the credits are for video games. i don't give a shit about Han Joo Park the QA tester, i want to go back to the home screen so i can shut off my Xbox and jerk off to porn.
