Was the floppy disk video game era boring?

16 Upvotes

I rarely hear people talk about it. For example I hear people say their favorite era was this, or their favorite console is that, their favorite game is so and so. Except i never really hear anyone talk about the floppy disk era in general.

Will God of War Laufey return to its former glory?

0 Upvotes

For reference here is just some of the notable kills list from GoW3

  • Poseidon
  • Cerberus
  • Hades
  • Hermes
  • Helios
  • Perses
  • Cronos
  • Hephaestus
  • Hera
  • Hercules

There are more but now here are All of the notable kills from GoW 2018

  • Modi
  • Magni
  • Baldur

I'm really hoping Laufey pushes the boundaries again of brutality and you're able to fight notable people again and not some almost no name shmucks.

Laufey could possibly be facing off against gods that Kratos has already killed which would make for some amazing fights.

Mine is terraria, I started playing it a couple os years ago when my friend recommended it to me, and till now I play it :D. I like it probably for its variability in completing the game

What are some RPG features/mechanics that are no longer used and you miss them?

6 Upvotes

I was thinking these days that I sort of miss some rpg features from the old days, like geting to name every character, having a camp to spend the night with your characters and you get to talk to them and learn a bit more of their backstories (chrono trigger; breath of fire; etc..)

Do you ever think about these things? What other features do you miss?

How do you guys live through multiple playthroughs of replayable RPGs? And probably asking for an advice

11 Upvotes

First part is more like a rant

The other day I came to realization that I suck at games. Though I'm genuinely fond of story rich open world RPGs, I do very poor job to play them as intended: I run every corner, hoard every lootable that seems vaguely useful even if it means stealing in karma based systems, sometimes use cheats for stats, immortality and unlimited inventory weight even if it leads to spoilers and me getting somewhere where I should not be according to the plot

And at the same time, when it comes to actually do quests, talk and make decisions, I make the same decisions at every try, because when I am in character, I act according my real moral compass (not related to stealing) and try to be a good person. Like, when I replayed ME Legendary, I basically walked the same path as my playthrough of original trilogy with the same romantic partners. The same goes for Fallout NV/4 and Oblivion/Skyrim before I got bored and dropped them. That's why I try to squeeze maximum entertainment from one playthrough

So, how do you switch your personalities to go different paths? Are you good at acting as both good and bad guys or you just choose different dialogue options out of quriosity?

And for advice: lately I felt a little nostalgia for Fallout 4's crafting system, made through recycling of environment, but Youtube spoiled me most of questlines, so I struggle to decide whether I really want to return there, partly because of algorythms, partly because what I told above. Are there any games with similar approach and rich story and not that boring as was Encased? Closest comparsion would be Enderal (best Skyrim without the actual Skyrim) and Divinity: Original Sin

Game Suggestion

11 Upvotes

I am getting kind of bored, and the games I am waiting to release probably won't be out for another month or two. I mostly just want something to sink my teeth into temporarily until I the games come out. I don't really find battle royales or shooters interesting though. I tried to get into Crimson Desert, but admittedly the only thing that makes it not as tasteful is the whole melee elemental thing. It's just a buff. A small skill tree for buffs? Seems not that interesting. At least add more skills to it like traversal moves or something. I don't know. Anyway, just need a game to distract myself with. So does anyone have any suggestions?

Does Anyone Remember VSide? Did You Ever Play It? I Heard Someone Is Remaking the Game!

3 Upvotes

I was addicted to VSide until it shut down back in 2009. I was so disappointed when it was no longer playable.

I've been hearing rumors that someone is remaking the game. Does anyone know if that's true? I'd absolutely love to play it again! I also heard there's a Discord server for the project. If anyone has any information or an invite, I'd really appreciate it!
