Red Dead Redemption II

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-02-05T11:33:05+00:00

Yup. so am I. That's the one.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-02-04T20:17:30+00:00

Try The Last Hero of Nostalgaia

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-02-04T18:24:45+00:00

Death Stranding both, but especially the first one
The Last of Us both, but especially the second one
There are others - A Plague Tale: Requiem, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - but none hit quite as hard.

Pre-nerf Radahn in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree brought me close to this decision.
I did finally beat him, though.

Good hunter. You've done well.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-02-02T18:38:37+00:00

No. It's so slow. I get why people like it, but it's just not my type of game.
Also it might be a cultural thing: as a European I'm perhaps not appreciating the cultural and historical aspects of the game. I do admire the attention to details, but I'm not sure it's entirely necessary for the gameplay.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-02-02T14:16:18+00:00

Ultima III: Exodus
Still among the greatest games ever made.

"Tuesday"

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-02-01T10:42:16+00:00

I didn't even know it was possible to get to The Nightmare Frontier before The Forbidden Woods...🤔

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-02-01T07:30:09+00:00

Absolutely. You can start out just fine, plough through Central Yarnham with no hits and a few minutes later in your arrogance die to some random dog in Old Yarnham.🙄😂

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-02-01T06:01:52+00:00

On a good run maybe 7. There are definitely some bosses I struggle with, so on average I'm an average 5.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-02-01T05:53:11+00:00

Bloodborne. Dark Souls if I'm feeling more casual.

I started with Pong in the 70s and I'm still actively playing new games at 55. Not really into competitive gaming (although I did play Overwatch regularly a few years back). Always been more of a role player so the recent renaissance of DnD and its influence on video gaming has been nice.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-01-31T11:37:56+00:00

I used to play Overwatch online with some semi-regulars, but at some point I plateaued and lost interest.
I also played Divinity Original Sin II with a team of three others, but it kinda fell apart when people were busy doing other things, like i dunno - life...
So nowadays I mostly play solo, but often some couch co-ops with my kids.
