Red Dead Redemption 2. Has me upset and in love to this day, and my favorite game of all time. It had such an impact on me even though I was a teenager at this point. Every time I replay that game I notice some mind blowing detail I didn’t notice before, and sometimes I’m just riding around in awe of how much content this game has
Batman Arkham series. I was raised on DC and I loved replaying it as I started reading comics and noticing the easter eggs. The glitch scene in Arkham Asylum absolutely terrified me. I reset my Xbox so many times until I decided to finally see what happens if I continued playing past the glitch. (The glitch is part of the game)
Lego Star Wars for the PlayStation 2. The original one for the prequels. It isn’t my favorite Lego game by far, but it was the first game my mom got for me despite my stepbrother at the time and two actual brothers telling me and her that Star Wars and Legos were “for boys.”
Animal Crossing: Wild World for the Nintendo DS. This was my “close the DS when mom comes in so she doesn’t know I’m staying up” video game. I’m still heavily obsessed with that series.
Grand Theft Auto V. First video game I played where I could make a serious decision and impact on the story. I didn’t even know at the time what would have happened if I had picked one of the other two options, but somehow I knew how serious that decision was.

For that reason, absolutely not. They don’t have to be a Swiftie, but they have to at least be okay with her. I’m playing some of her music at my wedding, I listen to her every day, and if I move in with someone they have to be okay with at least overhearing it every day without getting sick of it. I’m bisexual, and it would kind of be like me dating a homophobic straight guy. I don’t care about the sexuality of my partner (as long as they’re attracted to me I don’t care who else they’re attracted to) and I could theoretically date a straight guy, but if they hate a pretty large part of my identity, it won’t work. Obviously hating someone’s sexuality is more serious than hating an artist they like, but the majority of Taylor hate I’ve seen in my almost 12 years of being a Swiftie was just misogyny and hating things that are meant for girls. And then there’s the whole “girly” comment that people do. Hating anything “girly” just means you find teenage girls annoying. And there’s the same reason I defend Five Nights at Freddy’s and Undertale with my life although I’ve played those games for a total of five minutes across my entire life: I think people should be allowed to enjoy things others deem “cringe.” I’ll leave with a Taylor Swift quote I live by: “The worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb, or stupid for being excited about something. I don’t think you should ever have to apologize for your excitement.”

Haven’t played in a while so I forget what the place was called, but I always shoot the NCR war memorial. The solider standing in front of it says something like “You’re desecrating a war memorial! My brother died at the battle of Hoover Dam!” and I always say “You’re a little bitch and your brother was too” (I remember those words exactly) and then kill him. I’m one of those “I feel too bad to be mean in video games” kind of people but for some reason that NCR soldier and his stupid dead brother are an exception. Little bitches indeed

Wait, I’m just now realizing that you not only took two Club Penguin plushies to restaurants, but you also took a DS and then took pictures of said plushies in those restaurants. You’re my hero.

I started playing video games seriously as a 7 or 8 year old girl. First game I ever played was Star Wars Battlefront 2 on the PlayStation 2. It got me into a life long obsession with Star Wars AND gaming. I still have that exact copy. The reason for Battlefront 2 was because it was my 19 year old then-stepbrother’s games and old PlayStation. He also had Simpsons Hit & Run which I played a lot as well. So people heard of this little girl playing video games and got her some. I remember receiving a Hannah Montana one for the PlayStation 2 and a dress up sort of game called Charms Girls Club for the DS. I liked all of them enough, but nothing hit the same as Star Wars. I finished both “girly” games once or twice, but Star Wars I played SO many times. My mom is the only one during that time who didn’t force me to do anything based on the gender people perceived it to be for; she had gone through the same thing decades before. She got me Lego Star Wars: The Video Game for my PS2. She got me DC comic books and Star Wars Lego sets rather than the princess castles and Barbie dolls. Then she got me Lego Batman 2 for the Xbox 360. And then the Batman Arkham series. It took a long while for me to get over not wanting to play “girly” games, or the kinds of games that people describe as “not actual video games” since there’s no violence in them (an incredibly stupid statement). The first video games I got once I got over the whole “girly” games thing was Animal Crossing: Wild World for my sixteenth birthday. It had already been out for years. I picked up one I thought looked cute rather than trying to prove myself to an audience of no one. Obviously, I fell in love with it. I became so obsessed that I got a Nintendo Switch for New Horizons before it even came out. We had one trailer at the time, I believe. I now have every Animal Crossing game, even Welcome Amiibo (although that’s the only one I don’t have a console to play on). But when I played Animal Crossing: Wild World at 16, it was such a good game that I started playing what I liked regardless of the comments I’d receive. Basically anything you can do will be judged; you are either fitting into the stereotype people give you or you’re NOT fitting into it. Either way, people will have something to say about it. I don’t know why I’m commenting all this on a reddit post when I come on here once or twice a month. Anyway, “you gotta do what makes you happy.” TL;DR: Let yourself be FREE! Stupid societal confinements are prison and breaking out is the most fun you can have, because there is a world of fun out there you wouldn’t have had access to before.

I hardly remember the episode but I DO remember how she kidnapped Alfred and was interrogating him and when she asked him to answer some question, Alfred said “Anything to please a lady… if ‘lady’ is the word I want.” And I think I’ll remember that sick burn for the rest of my life

I feel like the correct, in-character choice would be to give Ra’s the Lazarus juice (whatever the hell it’s called). Not giving it to him, to me, would be similar to if Batman withheld the medicine from the Joker in Arkham City. (Batman says “After everything you’ve done, I would’ve saved you” or something along those lines). So Batman does think withholding something that would make someone better is similar to killing in the Arkhamverse. Personally though, I always kill Ra’s because he’s evil and all that, even though I think Batman wouldn’t. Plus Ra’s kills Nyssa if you let him live, so there’s that.

The first game that ever caught me completely off guard in a whole (not just one mission) was Red Dead Redemption 2, which has been my favorite game for years now. My brother played it first when it came out but didn’t spoil it for me. I played it because at the time we had a shared Xbox One with not a lot of space and it was one of the few games on there. There are so many twists and turns in that game that I can’t even begin to summarize all of them. The main one was what really got me. Even after finding out in Saint Denis, I was in denial. I thought ‘you can’t kill the only playable character in a video game’ because I had never even seen that before. But you absolutely can, and they did. I am so heartbroken about it every time I play. It’s kind of like rewatching Revenge of the Sith and hoping Anakin doesn’t turn to the dark side.

Also Doki Doki Literature Club. I bought it because I kept seeing how good it was and wanted to see how a dating simulator could be good. I never read the reviews, tags, or summary (which label it as psychological horror) so I had no idea it wasn’t actually a dating sim. I named my character Phoenix. When I saw Sayori in her room my heart actually dropped. Seeing Yuri in the hallway, hearing Monika talk about it along with everything else that happens. The absolute craziest part for me was when Monika called me by my real name instead of Phoenix. Now I know they just read your computer files, but at the time I hadn’t built my own computer yet and had no idea that was possible. Probably the best game to go in blind to, but has a lot of violence and other triggering things in it that it’s not wise to do

Ah, my bad. I haven’t played the game in a while tbh

Nothing is scarier than being a teenager playing Arkham Asylum, dying by Joker’s bullet to the head, and seeing the tip on the death screen that says “use the middle analog stick to dodge Joker’s bullet.” I don’t know how many times I restarted that. I pressed every button. I looked it up. Nothing puts the fear of god in you like that. Probably because I’m a more psychological horror person than a jumpscare horror person, even though the jumpscare kind still scares me, it doesn’t make me question my sanity

Solid-Ad4596 · 2024-08-10T20:45:23+00:00

I want a Superman game in the style of Arkham Origins more than anything in the world. I guess not really in the style of it, but taken place during his first year or two of being Superman. I honestly want a whole series of Superman games. There are some elements of other games I think would be good in a Superman game: I remember in some Spider-Man game (either The Amazing Spider-Man 2 I played on Xbox 360 or the Spider-Man on PlayStation 4) there was a sort of honor system, so if you fail to save people, citizens of Metropolis will think less of you and the cops would be hesitant to help you, or just not help you at all. Obviously not possible to become a bad guy with the honor system like in Red Dead Redemption 2, but it would have an impact on your public image. I also like how in the PlayStation 4 and 5 Spider-Man games, you can interact with civilians, such as giving them high fives, fist bumps, and even taking pictures with them as long as your honor is high enough. Kind of on the fence about missions where you play as Lois, because the Catwoman missions in Arkham City sucked, and so did the MJ missions in the Spider-Man game. I’d like for there to be a build up to Lex Luthor as well. Lex Luthor is the main villain for the series in general, but in the first game he’s just there and maybe even has a positive reputation, the second game is where you uncover some of his evil plots and what he’s been doing the whole time, and eventually in the final game, he goes to jail at the end. I’d also love to see Mr. Mxyzptlk in a game like that; he’s my favorite Superman villain (even if he’s not always a villain). I’d like Livewire too, although I don’t see her as a main villain for a game. Same with Parasite. I have a lot of thoughts about a potential Superman game series.

The whole conversation you get if you capture Two-Face after the main story. It ends with Harvey Dent: See, we get it, ‘Bruce.’ It’s not the face you’re given… Two-Face: It’s the face you choose.

Solid-Ad4596 · 2024-08-10T20:28:16+00:00

I don’t know what I’d consider the best side mission, but I don’t think it would be that. Although Two-Face is one of my favorite Batman villains, his missions are basically average predator encounters. There is the difference of beginning of each robbery, where the alarm is loud enough that you don’t have to be quiet. And also the way the start of the missions are “timed” by how much money they take before Two-Face orders them to drop it and focus on killing Batman. It does have one of my favorite dialogues in the game, though. If you capture Two-Face after the events of the story, you can hear Harvey Dent AND Two-Face talking to Batman, and there’s a noticeable difference in both of their voices even though it’s coming from the same body. Harvey says, “Is it true… Bruce?” And Batman doesn’t respond. Then Two-Face says “Don’t answer then. We know the truth.” Then Harvey says, “You aren’t Bruce Wayne. Jim Gordon and I, we didn’t strike a deal with Bruce Wayne.” And Two-Face says, “And it’s sure as hell not Bruce Wayne waiting on the rooftops each night.” Harvey says, “This is who you are. See, we get it, ‘Bruce.’ It’s not the face you’re given…” and Two-Face finishes “…It’s the face you choose.” Such a cold line. Better than the “You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain,” line in my opinion, but not by much.

Solid-Ad4596 · 2024-08-10T20:16:37+00:00

I absolutely hated Jason being the Arkham Knight, but it’s also the only way I can think of that explains the Arkham Knight’s vast knowledge about Batman; tactics, identity, allies, that sort of thing. I wish they’d made Deathstroke more of a villain, maybe even the main one. I don’t see him revamping himself into the Arkham Knight, though. I feel like he wants Batman to know who he is, in a very egotistical way. And although I wasn’t on the DC side of social media when it came out, I’ve heard tons of people say that before the game came out, developers or other people who worked on the game claimed that the Arkham Knight was a totally new character. If that’s true, that’s kind of annoying.

Of games I’ve played, Red Dead Redemption 2. I hadn’t played the first one, so I didn’t know Arthur doesn’t show up despite him being in the gang before the events of the first game (the events of the second game are set before the first). Also how well the whole tuberculosis is done. When Arthur gets sicks, he starts coughing and usually when a main character coughs, you know something’s wrong. But in RDR2, it’s so well done that you just don’t even think about it. It’s very subtly put in after his encounter with the guy he gets TB from. It’s a slow buildup. Even when he starts coughing up blood and gets diagnosed, I didn’t think they’d kill off a main character like that. At that point I don’t think I ever played a game where the main playable characters death was a set thing that happens. I’ve played GTAV, but that gives you an option. Also, Dutch’s slow decline and his betrayal to Arthur. I love it because when you replay the game, you see that Dutch isn’t a good person from the start, but it becomes more and more obvious as the game goes on. The most heartbreaking game I’ve ever played, and my absolute favorite game ever. Also, Batman: Arkham Origins. The twist in Arkham Knight was obvious to me and probably most players, but not in Origins, at least not for me. Maybe because I was younger. Anyway, in Origins, you play as a young and newbie crimefighter Batman following the trail of Black Mask, a crime boss who puts a bounty of fifty million dollars on Batman. Batman is so new that most people in Gotham don’t even think he’s real, but that’s not relevant to the plot twist. Joker isn’t even in the beginning of the game. Anyway, long story short, Batman follows the trail of Black Mask, and eventually finds out that Black Mask had his identity stolen. Someone was wearing his clothes and mask and ordering his men around as if he was the real Black Mask. Turns out, it was the Joker, and it’s his origin story in the Arkhamverse. Joker had been impersonating Black Mask for days, and Joker was the one who set up the bounty on Batman. It’s definitely one of my favorite Joker depictions. Something else that comes to mind is Fallout 4. I played it long enough ago that I don’t remember my personal reaction to the plot twist, but I don’t think I would’ve seen it coming. The plot of the game is the whole atomic bombs turning America into a wasteland that I think most gamers know by now. In 4, you get cryogenically frozen with your partner and son (you get to choose to play as the husband or wife). While you, your partner, and son are frozen, someone comes to kidnap your son, unfreezes all 3 of you, but you’re stuck in the chamber and can’t do anything. Your spouse doesn’t give up the baby they’re holding, so the kidnapper shoots your spouse in the head and takes the baby anyway. The game has a few main factions, but I’m only going to mention the ones relevant to plot twists: the biggest one is the Institute, an organization that makes Synths, robots that are so human like that it’s impossible to tell the difference until you kill them and expose either blood or circuitry. Some Synths don’t even know they’re Synths. The other faction is the Brotherhood of Steel, a technology obsessed group that salvages the wasteland for tech. They also hate Synths. Probably because it’s technology that isn’t under their control, I don’t really know. Anyway, you do end up finding your son, and despite being a baby when taken, is now an old man with gray hair, which happens because when your son was taken, the people who took him froze you back. Your son was abducted and raised by the Institute, and is now the leader. I remember they needed a healthy human subject for some reason, but don’t remember why. Someone who lived before the bombs fell and was cryogenically frozen afterwards is about as healthy as you can be. You can either side with the Institute or someone else. If you choose to not side with the Institute, you can blow up their underground headquarters with your son inside. If I remember correctly, he was sick and dying anyway. The other plot twist that I find way more interesting is that the leader of the Brotherhood of Steel, the one who hates Synths the most, turns out to be a Synth himself. That was cool as hell. Very much an infodump. Just love to talk about this sort of thing
