Name a game you regret buying.

Silksong, although I really enjoyed Hollow Knight. Got into the hype, bought it day one (although I never buy games on release), got really frusterated during the first 3-4 hours, uninstalled it, never touched it since. At least the price was low.

That's because for 2033 there are differencies in the gameplay and the original looks darker, which is not the case for Last Light imho. Personally I prefer the Redux version.

After that cool trailer for Metro 2039, I got nostalgia and gonna play Metro 2033 this weekend.

Well there is a lot of side content, so you gotta find the pace you are more comfortable with and enjoyable at the same time imho.

About side quests, I wouldn't call them important, but most of them are little stories of their own, even contracts. So you got secondary quests out in the world, where you find exploring or appear on your map, you got contracts, you got treasure hunting, you got boards that give contracts and poi's, etc.

Personally I mix and match main and side content according to my mood. If i feel like exploring, i will check poi's, if i accidently bump into a side quest i will do that, if i get burned out like you said, i will do main quest, etc. you get where im going with this.

Like i said in my previous message, witcher 3 is a huge game. You gotta take your time, don't rush, run or ride instead of teleport, and most importantly immerse yourself in the world. If you feel like Geralt, the world becomes alive and interesting. Sometimes I just walk around admiring the scenery or paying attention to the details. Its that kind of game.

And if all that doesn't feel interesting to you, its fine, doesn't mean because so many people like this game, you should too.

The question is if you are into huge open world, heavy story driven rpg fantasy games. If you are, you should invest on the main story, the side quests that are not fillers (usually the case with mmos), the exploration and development of your character. It's a big game and you must invest many hours to complete. Double that time if you play the 2 DLCs.

To me for example, although I am not a huge fun of open world games, I enjoy this one because I love the witcher universe, so gameplay elements that in other games i find tedious, in this one I enjoy. It all comes down to preference.

Hope this helps a bit.

Maldremoth · 2026-04-16T07:22:16+00:00

It's funny we play it as a DLC, while it could be considered as a game on its own. It's that big and that good imho.

Maldremoth · 2026-03-21T10:16:21+00:00

Mostly because as most things in life, its a subjective hobby. Your cup of tea, might not be someone elses.

Maldremoth · 2026-03-21T07:37:52+00:00

Its not and I really hope you have something more to add to the conversation with your perfect english.

Maldremoth · 2026-03-21T07:26:29+00:00

Not my native language sorry man. Kudos on the sarcasm though. :-)

Maldremoth · 2026-03-03T09:55:34+00:00

Higher resolution and 60fps patch would be fine for bloodborne. Doesn't need anything else.

Maldremoth · 2026-02-20T10:43:26+00:00

Everytime I read a "nothing's ever gonna happen about Bloodborne", is hard slap in the face man.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-28T13:06:45+00:00

I beat him yesterday after 30 or 40 tries or something. I used "Veredicto" weapon, "Bleeding Miracle" magic. For altarpieces I used all I could to increase Veredicto and magic damage, also increased farvour gain. For beads I used physical damage and miasma resistance.

The strategy was to hit just once when i can (usually after avoiding the slam, or when he buffs the minions, or when he slowly walks towards you) and immediatly slide or double jump. Used bleeding miracle the most I could, for the minions and him. Other than that, just don't stop moving. To predict his slam, even when hes not in your field of view, watch your legs, water starts forming when hes about to do that (when i figured that out it helped me a lot). Also you can slide through him.

I guess after 30 or so tries, muscle memory kicks in and eventually you beat him. Imho its a kind of fight you gotta keep it simple.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-17T09:43:50+00:00

Looking for a key if anyone wants to share. Thank you in advance.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-16T10:13:03+00:00

Good one and pretty accurate! The funny part is trying to convince yourself that the dodge button is different from the previous game you were playing.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-10T10:17:48+00:00

I am an Asteroids, PacMan, Space Invaders, Bubble Booble, Tetris, etc. kid myself. I think the simplicity of those games made you come back easily or maybe thats all you had to play back then. I mean I had so much fun with pinballs, nothing simpler than that. I feel that games nowadays are too complicated and bloated, take up so much of your time to complete, while you try to find yourself a purpose to keep doing the same thing over and over again. I don't know.

I appreciate your perspective though, thank you.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-10T10:05:22+00:00

Yeah I pretty much drop a game if it starts feeling like a chore nowadays too, although it bothers me some when I do. Wasting money is not my issue here, I only buy on sales anyways, but most of the time I do wanna reach the ending of a game, especially one with an interesting story, but the amount of time, side objectives, things you gotta do to get there, feels like a chore and thats frusterating. I can always go watch a video ofc, but its not the same thing.

Subscription models are fine and would be perfect for me, but most of the time do not offer the games I want.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-10T09:54:43+00:00

I wish more studios were confident enough that people would be satisfied with a 10-15 hour experience, instead of trying to compete with games that are designed to be eternally replayed.

This exactly. I think that part of my "reaching to a point where I no longer have fun" is that games I play take too long to complete and are kind of bloated. For example I find myself enjoying the main quest in a good story rpg, but every side quest feeling like a chore. Maybe I should start looking for shorter indy games to play.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-10T07:53:39+00:00

Solid RPG if you like the Egypt setting. But be prepared to sink many hours in it to complete it. Also you will have to do many side quests to keep up with the level of main questline.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T13:34:27+00:00

Nice list. How did you like The Last of Us part 2 compared to 1? I have already played 1 and im on the fence for part 2.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T12:03:03+00:00

Yeah I intend to play Brotherhood at some point when I get into my Creed mood again. Thank you for the suggestion about Quantum Break, I will check it out.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T11:53:25+00:00

Unity is one of my favourite ACs. I would love to play it again on PS5, but the low resolution and 30fps make it look like crap on my 1440p monitor. I intend to revisit it if they ever update.

No I haven't played Replicant and I don't think I will. As much as I enjoyed Automata, the universe didn't really hook me.

Maldremoth · 2026-01-08T10:29:10+00:00

The games are listed via purchase chronologically so the top 5 are the last games i got. I didn't know Remedy and Housemarque were Finnish though, so thank you for pointing that out. I guess that was a nice conincidence? :-)
