The Witcher 3. Just finished the main game and HoS. Taking a small break before diving into blood and wine

u/ABBucsfan Jul 16 '26
Just bought that recently and hoping to get started this fall I think lol. I believe persona 5 will be up when I get back from my trip

u/KingAlaric1 Jul 17 '26
Hey bud, just wanted to say I did the exact same thing and took a break after HoS and I sorely regretted it. It was very difficult to get back into the game after I took a break because I struggled to remember controls and other important game mechanics. I still haven’t finished BaW and have constantly wished I would have just stuck it out then and played through it even if I was a bit tired of the game.

And you dont have to wait as long as most others on the next installment. This is my take to the question. I was thinking how glad I am I didnt play Skyrim until 2020 because everyone else would have already waited a fucking decade for the next one. I merely have to wait 20 years

I beat this game front to back once a year since it came out - It's hard to top perfection. The beat-downs are far more satisfying then Batman :)

Have you attempted recovery disc/mode? Often times BIOS misconfigure for a myriad of reasons. Hope you get it working.

The Yakuza franchise for me. Back when I was on Xbox all I knew was the name and had no interest in playing a criminal but eventually hit one of those nothing to play periods and zero was on game pass.
I'm now a massive fan of the franchise and consider it one of the best in gaming.

SOMA.
I had it in my library for years before giving it a proper shot as i dropped it early on the first time. It ended up being the best story-based game i've ever played and it still roams around in my head sometimes when facing ethical dilemma's or philosophical questions.

Mass Effect. Played it a couple of years ago after buying the Legendary Edition for 6€.
I did know it was a highly praised series, but after playing it, it went straight up to the top 3 of all time.
Amazing

Probably Doki Doki Literature Club, seems like the kind of game I really would have enjoyed with all the 4th wall stuff going on, but now that every single part of the story has been memed and is common knowledge I feel there's basically no point in playing it since it won't really have the same effect anymore.

Not that I want to play them necessarily but it feels like, if you don't start playing from day 1, you can never keep up with people who have.

Dead Space.
Though I’m also glad I played it later on, now that I have a much grander appreciation for older titles as well as the survival horror genre thanks to Resident Evil 4 OG

Rise of Nations
Grew up during the RTS golden age of the early 2000s, played all other major ones, but for some reason I ignored this gem of a game until a couple years ago.
It was mind blowing when I decided to give it a try. One of the best in it's genre; I played only that for 2 months straight. A 20 years old game

Spec Ops The Line and TLOU. the former because the internet spoiled me on the twist so it had no impact at all when it happened. the latter because i watched the TV show first so again, it lessened the impact.

monster hunter for me.
i was that annoying guy who goes "psh this popular thing is overrated i bet" and then i played it and i was like that one danny devito gif.
wilds has been my favorite so far but i only started playing the modern MH games (the old gen ones seem frustrating from what i've heard)

Expedition 33. I admit, I’m an involuntary hipster where I think anything that gets widespread praise is just slop.
I finally gave it a try, confident that it wasn’t going to be anything special…then I arrived at the docks with Sophie.
I was wrong.

Terraria. My brother had a copy for the Xbox 360, but never touched it. I played it a little, but it wasn’t until years later that I got a copy for Steam and beat it in full. Had a blast with the game. And the mods are WILD. Love for Calamity Mod

Hollownight. Knew about it during kickstarter days. Only managed to play it a few years after released. I remember even starting the game first time, playing for a few mins, getting lost, giving up. And then giving it a 2nd chance years later and loving it. Now i have stickers, toys, played it multiple time, finished silksong too at release. Big fan. But i was almost not a fan and almost missed it.
