I don't play good games i play the kind of stuff you'd find donated to a library 3 days after release. The kind of games a grandparent will get their grandchildren when they ask for call of duty but instead get a copy of conflict denied ops.

I am deeply passionate about bad games, after all I've played Two Worlds several times and I'm yet to even buy baldurs gate 3.

I find it enjoyable to think about the elements that make these games enjoyable and unique as well as wonder what it could have turned into if given the time to develop further.

I am also capable of the inverse and would love to do some write ups on why popular and well loved games are actually shit

Yes. These are the most interesting games, the ones where enough is there to see the vision behind it

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 12 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Go for it!

I could do the same for New Vegas mods... mob-bashful

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

oh fuck yes i know i'm not the only one who would appreciate FNV posts, esp. about mods too

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure! Just gotta finish Fallout: London so I can finish my review on that first, and that's on the backburner while I play Crosscode and probably S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 if it reviews well next month...

lea-think

ahhh i gotta get back into crosscode i barely got through the beginning but my partner Loved It. And I wish I had time to play Fallout: London I even have it all downloaded just waiting for the desire to play it to strike lol

Love Crosscode!

If you're on the fence about London, make sure to update it, 1.02 fixed a bunch of bugs (some of which blocked my progress, hence the backburner). Overall it's good, it's horrifyingly liberal and portrays labor movements in the most enlightened centrist manner possible but when it isn't doing that, it's genuinely very fun to play if you just want more Fallout and aren't put off by modding in general being rougher around the edges.

Still, TERF island is fun to explore, haven't found any explicit TERFs to bash yet though.

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 4 weeks ago

Noted, I bet I downloaded an older version. I'll update when I get around to it :)

When do we get the off-shoots for the rest of the titles?

And do we consider TTW its own thing, or no? I'm in camp separate. And far the fuck away from my install list.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 1 points 4 weeks ago

Dunno, it would probably be a mod by mod basis. And I consider TTW to be a part of the general whole of New Vegas modding, but not the main.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago

good lord yes

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

I'd read it!

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

i'd read them :3, comment even, probably! i watch videos on steam slop for fun, feels kinda similar

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

This is a very large reason I follow Ross (the other being Freeman's Mind). A lot of games needed more time to cook and never got the chance.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 4 weeks ago

Yesssss serve up the slop

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 7 points 4 weeks ago

Yes. Love that kind of content.

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

Hell yeah, go for it.

I am also capable of the inverse and would love to do some write ups on why popular and well loved games are actually shit

Nah fuck that, the internet is already full of haters.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

No different than me watching people suffer through Adventure games. So yes, please do.

[–] Latework@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

Of course! My husband and I live for that shit

[–] StarkWolf@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

You just described my two favorite types of game reviews. I want to know all about your obscure bargain bin titles, and would love to hear you tear apart bigger games

[–] Meh@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Two Worlds was wild because you could enter console commands on the Xbox 360. And it was heavily recommended to do so if for no other reason to turn off the grass and improve performance. Fun game, jank as hell

Edit: Right, the main question. Yes! Please give us these write ups!

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

Put up or shut up

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago

Yes please!
