I voted for Overcooked. I love how rage-inducing it is when you suck, and how great it feels to perform well as a team ... if you git good.

It’s basically the same game but new and made in 2019 fyi
Two Point is on my list but I still haven’t gotten to it

^ with soundtrack available on vinyl, released by hospital records!
it turns out the secret to making a fun open world game is the player is supposed to be a vehicle, not a human. i should fire this up again at some point, i never really exhausted it

ppl love battletech esp those nerds at three moves ahead but i haven't gotten to it yet

important use of xp there as it turns out

how "gamey" is forza horizon 4? i used to love racing games when they were like super off road and daytona but the genre feels like it heavily went in a realistic GT direction which doesn't appeal to me at all.
― Mordy, Monday, 15 April 2019 20:08 (five years ago) link
forza motorsport is the realistic GT forza series, the horizon games are open world arcade racers, they're a lot more gamey and fun

I also played System's Twilight in the 90's which based just on that screenshot was almost certainly a direct influence upon System Syzygy! It was a good game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System%27s_Twilight

I found out about System Syzygy from andrew plotkin's blog (he created system's twilight and also he was the guy who turned mafia into werewolf).

I threw Detroit a vote but definitely don’t recommend it unless “Quick Time Event: The Game” sounds up your alley or you’re a Clancy Brown superfan. Humorless, self-important, cliche, very clownable! AND YET the gimmick of pressing a series of buttons to make characters do boring things like set the table or gather wood eventually made me care about them more? It’s like, I tucked in this orphan girl and told her a bedtime story you’re damn right I’ll murder every human between her and the android haven of Canada.

HI DERE. If not for TLOU, I would definitely have voted for ace rhythm game Yakuza 0 (though if not for TLOU, I may not have gotten back into console gaming).
― Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Monday, 15 April 2019 21:16 (five years ago) link
There's an iOS game called Calculator:The Game, it's got wacky buttons, so on the level I'm on now you start with 91 and your goal is to get to 19 in 6 button presses and the buttons available are '+5', 'Mirror' (12->1221) and 'Sum'
The Room is the OG very fancy looking room escape / object manipulation games, yes?
I did actually play System Syzygy last year, it was great but I would have completely forgotten about it if I'd voted (which I didn't)
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 15 April 2019 21:19 (five years ago) link
Also I will probably repeat this later but I heart ILE as somewhere that loves games but will give an industry behemoth like MHW 5 points total (NB this is not in any way a reflection on the quality of MHW)
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 15 April 2019 21:22 (five years ago) link
(xp @silby) if you're patient, wait for them to put Atelier Ayesha on switch which is both an entry point and the best game in the series according to several people i trust on this stuff (i haven't played it yet myself). if you're impatient, rorona is a fine entry point / litmus test, and totori is a bit harder but my favorite of the ones i've played
― ciderpress, Monday, 15 April 2019 21:28 (five years ago) link
I can be pretty patient considering I still have to beat Octopath or at least beat someone's chapter 4 I'm so slow lol
