somefool@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•What game do you think came closest to being "perfect"?0·2 years agoHollow knight. The gameplay, the smoothness of the controls, but also the universe, the atmosphere, the fantastic music. Absolutely wonderful game.
somefool@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread2·2 years agoI’m a heartless monster who forgot about my brother so I could sit in my boat and gawk at my surroundings at sunset. Mileage may vary.
It does have moments that stressed me out, but since I spent so much time exploring and taking screenshots, they’re not what left the strongest memory.

somefool@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread11·2 years agoI fell in love with Submerged when I played it. It’s an exploration game set in a flooded city, where you play a young girl looking for supplies for her injured brother. Lots of navigating between buildings in a little boat, climbing around, and taking in the scenery. Incredibly relaxing to play.
Chrono Trigger is a must-play. Stellar game. I don’t know how the PC port fares, though.

Have you tried Ankora: Lost Days and Stories of Mara, too? They’re on my list and I’m curious about other people’s opinions!

somefool@beehaw.orgOPto Gaming@beehaw.org•Your favorite farming/townie sims, and what makes them unique?English2·2 years agoWith my track record at killing even cacti, I am going to suck at this game. It does sound interesting, though (and “great story” is enough to make me face the rice farming).
It definitely sounds unique, which is exactly was I was hoping for when I made the post! Thank you!
somefool@beehaw.orgOPto Gaming@beehaw.org•Your favorite farming/townie sims, and what makes them unique?English1·2 years agoOh gosh, it’s so cute. I’ll keep an eye out for it when rummaging for used 3DS games.
somefool@beehaw.orgOPto Gaming@beehaw.org•Your favorite farming/townie sims, and what makes them unique?English1·2 years agoGraveyard Keeper is a really good game (the DLCs vary in quality, but still worth playing imho). I liked the dark humor and err, questionable morality. The NPCs are terrible people and I loved it. It was quite refreshing after playing mostly wholesome games!
I’m with you on the time investment. Getting started in it is brutal, with most of what you can sell being near worthless at first (and, if I remember well, prices drop when you sell too much of something? It’s been a while). It takes time and effort to get yourself established, which makes it very satisfying!
(I also ended up drowning in stuff. Once you get the collection of resources going, it doesn’t stop.)

To be honest, sitting here with 2500h logged on FFXIV and 250+ on every FF I played… It’s not a downside to me at all.
Rune Factory 4 is on my list of things to buy. Your rec echoes what I heard from a friend who loves it as much as you do, and someone else on lemmy reminded me of it just last week. I’ll probably grab it during the next steam sale if the price drops. Any tips for a newbie?
I’m so glad for the comeback of the company, it’s great when that happens!

I find the farming sims that have a plotline are easier for me to stop, even if I get obsessed, because you finish the story, befriend everyone… And then there isn’t much left to do unless you just want to chill and collect things. At which point you can move to My Time At Portia or any of the hundreds of similar games and start the whole process all over a… I have issues, don’t I?
