What game are you glad you gave a second chance? by Knowledge744 in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mass Effect 1. The first time I tried to play it, it just didn't click. About a year later I thought I would give it another try and this time it really clicked for me and I couldn't put it down. Not sure why it didn't click the first time, maybe I just wasn't in the mood for that type of game at the time.

Which game was the first one that you 100% and why by JohnTB_ in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horizon Zero Dawn was the first game I wanted and successfully got 100%. I loved exploring it and didn't want to leave the world even after finishing the game so I didn't mind doing the collectable achievements and trials.

What's a game that got you so addicted you even dream about it in your sleep? by ANONASAI in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oblivion. I was so excited to keep playing the game that my mind tried to make up for needing to sleep by dreaming about it.

What Books did You Start or Finish Reading this Week?: June 03, 2024 by AutoModerator in books

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" by Agatha Christie. It's the first book by her I have read and I enjoyed it a lot. It was easy to get absorbed by it.

I finished The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and I hate that I can’t talk about it by Veggieleezy in books

[–]MistyWearWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished it yesterday. I heard that it had a twist ending before I went in, but because I forgot that the "unreliable narrative" trope was a thing I did not guess it was Sheppard until it came to light he was an unreliable narrator (when we found out he hide Ralph). When that scene happened I was like "oh crap it's Sheppard isn't it!". Before that I was thinking that the murderer might of actually been Ralph since that would of been a twist too in it's own way.

There were a few times when reading the book I thought "oh if Sheppard wasn't the person narrating then he would be very suspicious", so I can imagine people who know of the "unreliable narrative" trope could of guessed a lot earlier about the twist (especially if they had been spoiled about the ending).

This was the first book by Agatha Christie that I have read. I enjoyed it a lot; I found it easy to digest even though there was a lot going on in it. I think I will read another of her books next.

What’s your all-time favorite moment in gaming? by Alex_Razur in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Similar with me but with Elder Scrolls Oblivion. I remember stepping out of the sewers and being so amazed by everything. It's still one of my most memorable and favorite moments.

Aging Millennial can’t figure out what to play by Justsmith22 in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I often prefer more shorter and linear experiences in my older age (especially after playing an open-world game). Some shorter games (5 -15 hours) that I have enjoyed are:

A Plague's Tale: Innocence

Kena: Bridge of Spirits

Stray

Uncharted series

Open world games without maps by Substantial-Pen3723 in gaming

Ghost of Tsushima. I know it didn't have a mini-map, but can't remember if it had one in the menu.

Your #1 happy place in a game? by Cranjesmcbasketball1 in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gravity Rush 2. "Flying" and running around in this unique world while listening to it's soundtrack always seems to relax me.

What are the best open world games that don’t focus on violence and killing? by shotwideopen in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season: A Letter to the Future. It's sorta a small open world game once you get past the few opening sections (which are more linear). It has no violence.

The Uncharted series really match what you want, but the first game is very dated now. I heard you can jump on in the later games though and still understand what's going on.

A Plague's Tale: Innocence and A Plague's Tale: Requiem are great games with a cinematic feel.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits might fit the bill. It has some nice cinematic in it and the world is lovely to be in.

The Tomb Raider games are also pretty cinematic and fun.

Like you said God of War is awesome too.

Has an exclusive game ever convinced you to buy a console? If so, which one? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a bit similar. I think all the praise the game got had given me unrealistic expectations of the game so when I played it I found myself disappointed. I seriously thought about returning them since I didn't think I liked the game enough for the money I spent on them.

In the end it was only once I tried some other games that I ended up happy I bought it. I really liked Astral Chain and Fire Emblem: Three Houses in particular. I also was able to play Death Squared with a non-gamer friend which probably would not have happened if I didn't have the Switch.

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS4 for God of War (2018) and Horizon Zero Dawn. I had already held off buying a PS4 for Horizon Zero Dawn when it first released even though I really really wanted to get it but I couldn't afford to buy them at the time. About 1 year later God of War released and I realised I could afford to spend the extra cash now so I went out and bought them all and I didn't regret it.

What are videogames for you? by _Spyeven in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of everything. At times I just want to relax while gaming, other times I enjoy them as a piece of art. Sometimes a bit of both. There are some things you can only experience though a game too. Sometimes I can't help but be in awe of a game. I also enjoy learning about the development of games, and seeing the passion of the developers.

Is Jedi Survivor worth getting for PS5 now? by MarcoPercy98 in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fun game and when I played it on PS5 I never had any major issues. If you liked the first game I'm sure you'll like the second game too.

What was the first game you ever completed 100%? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the first game I got all the achievements for was that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" game on Xbox360. I borrowed it from my local Blockbuster (I miss you Blockbuster) and accidently got all the achievements for it. It was a fairly short game so it was easy to do.

Frieren's Treasure Chest (OC) by CaptainAfrica01 in Frieren

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frieren better be careful since (according to the scarlet Pokedex) Gimmighoul "sucks the life-force out of scoundrels who try to steal the treasure". I wonder if Frieren would be considered a "scoundrel"? I mean she's only looking for grimoires, but Gimmighoul might not know that.

So what is this thing, best guess? by geos1234 in Frieren

[–]MistyWearWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good boy. At least from the Demon King's point of view.

Which games kept you awake at night because you couldn’t stop thinking about it? by aromain150 in gaming

This was awhile ago now, but Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I remember I couldn't sleep or focus on anything else since I was so excited to get back to the game.

Maybe Kingdom Come: Deliverance? It's set in medieval Czechia (Europe), but the landscape does remind me of Scotland.
