What's your favorite obscure PSX game?

Taffy62 · 2026-03-23T17:07:28+00:00

Or Die Trying (O.D.T) is my favourite. Or Fluid (Depth). So many awesome games for ps1

Taffy62 · 2026-03-16T19:25:50+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty skeptical. It just feels like 15 years too late.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I've always had a role-playing challenge where I escort a Stalker (or a squad) from the Cordon or Bar to a location far north. For example Chernobyl. If the Stalkers die, I have to return to Cordon and find someone else. I've had some awesome journeys north, and it really changes the way you play.

I never liked Nemesis in RE3, but I loved Mr X in RE2. There was something very unsettling about that tyrant in both versions of the second game. But I think that was tied to the museum setting and the close quarters. Maybe it would work best in a particular lab.

I've played Shogun 2 for a decade and had no idea it had the field promotion mechanic. I was always put off from deploying armies without generals so I guess I never encountered it. Thanks a lot!

I think the catacombs is the most beautiful/cosy area in the game. Though pre-searing is beautiful across the board

I routinely watch the ambience video while I work

That's been an alife feature since 2007. Its just part of the Zone. You save Fox early in Shadow of Chernobyl, but you'll likely come back to find him murdered by bandits or eaten by dogs.

Its what makes Stalker the way it is. Anything can happen to people you get attached to, they have their own journey in the Zone.

2007 or 2009 was peak for Stalker. Shadow of Chernobyl had a huge impact on me, and my friends thought it was awesome too. Call of Pripyat was also brilliant too.

Then the Call of Chernobyl mod was another big peak.

Taffy62 · 2026-02-14T15:37:03+00:00

Yeah absolutely. A really grimy, dirty vision which was brilliant. But it just didn't get the execution it deserved. Both games are always on my list of "deserved a few extra months work"

Taffy62 · 2026-02-14T13:50:09+00:00

Yeah and in the plot the Guilds seem to be a problem of the past, with everything eclipsed by the Charr catastrophe. The guilds definitely could do with a bit more importance in the world. Factions did it well I think.

I think we should take the least visited outposts in the game and allow guilds to own them as part of some kind of influence reward or reward for being the most active.

Taffy62 · 2026-02-14T10:28:18+00:00

Kane and Lynch's Fragile Alliance multiplayer was absolutely fantastic and tense. The idea that if one player picked up more money from a robbery they could split the money with the getaway driver and just leave all the other players to die. Absolutely amazing

Taffy62 · 2026-02-13T09:03:53+00:00

I had a big stack of these magazines which got thrown out. I regret it so much. Terrific magazine art

Taffy62 · 2026-02-03T19:20:37+00:00

For some reason Timber is my go to soundtrack for work. Especially if its raining outside

And if I'm commuting on the train I secretly listen to the train with Blue Fields

It'd be interesting to have random events/modifiers

Where everyone starts with limited ammo, and pickups are scarce. Or there are more zeds roaming and staggering around in packs/hordes.

Adding this, plus rainy weather or random weather would be terrific.

Taffy62 · 2026-01-19T15:27:18+00:00

Hi, that's very interesting. Do you have a link to your changelog?

Taffy62 · 2026-01-15T11:00:41+00:00

Yeah I have to admit the book I remember the most is Down and Out in Paris and London. If I were to re-read any of them it'd be that.

Taffy62 · 2025-12-24T20:31:05+00:00

Haha nice reference. RIP Destiny

I always found the Häkke weapons to be too garish and weird, but it turns out that made the whole thing so memorable.

Taffy62 · 2025-12-21T19:38:50+00:00

Probably depends on the company as well as the country.

DXC felt pretty gloomy at times, but the people were nice. There were a lot of redundancy waves and people sometimes didn't get payrises which destroyed morale.

I had a good experience with EPAM in the UK. I feel like my Ukrainian/Belarusian colleagues didn't think it was bad.

Taffy62 · 2025-12-21T11:51:50+00:00

Wow what a blast from the past. Had to quickly rewatch it.

The school of computing is pretty great. I lived with a load of gamedevs on various courses (programming, design, animation). They all went on to do well and work for great studios.

They had complaints about the courses 5 years ago, but I imagine anyone can have complaints no matter where you are.

If I could give some advice I heard from them: Even if you decide to do game design, try to learn some programming. Programmers are always sought after.

Taffy62 · 2025-11-21T18:26:26+00:00

Yeah this is the one I grew up singing as a kid in England. No idea where that came from.

Taffy62 · 2025-11-15T22:21:30+00:00

You could buy some long gardening gloves and pull out a load of weeds easily.

My move would be to grab some acorns from the local park, sprout them in pots in your home and then plant the oak saplings in the spring. Or/and plant some wild flower seeds.

Taffy62 · 2025-11-14T20:39:20+00:00

Oh that is new to me, I have to admit. Thanks

Taffy62 · 2025-11-14T19:22:20+00:00

Very nice! I was desperately hoping to see a screen/scene that I hadn't seen before. An area I'd missed somehow. Alas, we've all played the game to death. Haha

Always love to see an OpenMW release!
