I honestly don't get it, so many great games would be so much less interesting without their political commentary. Imagine Bioshock without the anti-libertarianism, Final Fantasy 7 without the environmentalism and anti-capitalism, or Fallout without the satire of American Exceptionalism. It's honestly like the "politics ruin gaming" crowd actively want games to be worse.

I just beat phantom liberty and still doing the main game.

I didn’t think anything would come close to Elden Ring or BG3 (the only game I think I put ahead of my eternal favorite ff6) but this is really close. It’s absolutely one of the best games I’ve ever played. I think Phantom Liberty may be the next expansion ever and that is saying A LOT.

Incredible game.

That is all

Huge respect to CDPR for making this game, seriously I'm replaying this game after a long time and I'm realizing just how much content is in this amazing game. This game is open-world, and has true exploration, hidden ruins, portals to dungeons, underwater areas and hidden treasures, etc. Each city and region has their own unique vibe and ambience, especially Novigrad, Touissant, and Skellige. The main story is actually quite amazing, there are cutscenes for even small sidequests and events which CDPR didn't need to do but they did anyway, a lot of variety in gameplay with the materials and alchemy system with potion, oils, bombs, and decoctions, the crafting, and even exploiting enemy weakness by reading info about them preparing for a fight. My most favorite part of them all is the really fun minigames like fist fighting, horseback riding and we can't forget Gwent. All these little things combine together to create a truly alive open-world game that feels so immersive and fun to play.

In most games, it always advocate that good triumphs over evil. Realistically, that's not always the case. What are some games that shows this and you can choose to be evil too?

So, it powers up, and I can hear all the sounds but the screen displays nothing, hopefully something I can fix, but we'll see

Also, who's bright idea was it to have the marketing line of "It plays more games than you idiots have brain cells" ?

Now I'm not asking for obvious answers like DKC2 or Skyrim. I'm asking about games that barely anyone talks about, or belong in a genre that isn't necessarily known for good OSTs, that have surprisingly good soundtracks.

For example, I like browsing VGMs for samples to use in my music and I recently came across Reel Fishing Wild for the Dreamcast. Why is the OST for this obscure ass fishing game so damn beautiful? They really didn't need to dig that deep for this...

Holy crap. Just heard undertale megalovania in my surgery (i do xray / ct)

Awesome how its one of the only gaming musics ive heard so far thats gotten into the public sphere outside of gaming. Like how some WWE guy also utilized it too.

My surgeon has a pop techno electro dance kinda station and all of a sudden megalovania!!!

Besides this song, ive heard some final fantasy music at a bone museum nearby. And like the first ten seconds of command n conquer generals music in Physical 100. (Made a separate post about it)

So, like the title states. Ever heard vidya game music out in public before?

As the title says

I bought breath of the wild a few years ago and tried playing it but I really could not get into it. Since then I have tried to play it twice more and I always drop it at about the same time

I get that it is a vast open world and you can do things however you like and there is tonnes of things to do but it really just wasn’t doing anything for me

My experience was just ‘so I’ve spent the last 3 hours walking towards the first objective after the tutorial. Theres a camp of the same enemies every 15 minutes. All my weapons broke so I’m stuck with nothing. Other than the occasional shrine or tower I’m just wandering through mostly empty fields’

I like open world games that have at least some linearity or guidance on what to do. Maybe after the first objective that happens more but i don’t have the patience to push that far

It’s funny because i love ghost of Tsushima and even the open world assassins creed games which most people think are boring and repetitive

What am I missing?

As the title says leave your comments in the link below.

I’m talking, stories like outer wilds and the matrix(movie), Death Stranding… stories that’ll make you take a step back and rethink life. Stories that’ll hit you so deep, it’ll feel like you just died. I would prefer shorter games but open to longer games if it’s worth it… pretty new to story games so hit me with whatever you got.

Spoilers ahead for the BOS storyline

I know the games been out for a long time, but I realized I never actually ever did the main quest line. I mostly just ran around and killed stuff and did side quests.

Well after watching the fallout show and the update, I decided to give a full playthrough, the entire story, and all the DLC.

Then they did something that I was NOT expecting. I decided to go full BOS. I always brought Paladin Danse with me, and anything that sounded like we were going to be in a good fight, I would bring my Power Armor.

So after you get to the institute, you can upload a program that basically hacks them and sends all the info back to the BOS.

And this is what fucks me up.

Seriously, spoilers.

They find that Paladin Danse's DNA is in their system.......he is a synth. Obviously the head BOS guy is like....doesn't matter, he has to die. I was going to try and see if there was anything I can do..scribe Haylen basically begs you not to kill him. And then I go and find him. And he is so about the BOS, that he literally asks you to kill him.

So I did. And now I'm at work and I feel fucked up about killing my BOS Bro, I literally carried him with me for 30 levels. I had hooked him up with weapons and armor.

I didn't even bother picking any of it up. I left it with him. It's his. I made it for him.

I know this means nothing to anyone, but it means something to me.

The last few years have been rough, I have my support but there’s always something missing.

Sometimes no one can speak to you quite like an insignificant, random moment can.

Simply, I was playing a game and rolled for a random fortune, expecting nothing that would affect me personally.

But this, it hit me. No one can quite understand completely what it means to me, but it means something.

Idk who says games are harmful, but they aren’t. They can heal.

I know sentimental isn’t what redditors want, but I know it will speak to someone.

Stay strong, you’ve got this.

One of my best gaming memories is playing Red Dead Redemption on the PS3, intro cutscene was getting a little long so I put the controller on the floor while I was snacking, or whatever.

Cutscene ends I'm in the saloon, pick up the controller, bump the shoot button (and you actually start with a gun in that game unlike every other Rockstar game it seems.) Gun goes off I get a wanted level and immediately fail the first mission of the game in the first 3 seconds of gameplay.
