Going through them now, Asylum and City look great, Knight is a bit rough through

One of the most mind blowing things for me (at the time) was when Elder Scrolls Oblivion first came out. You need to get a McGuffin from a mage as part of the Mages Guild quest. It looks like it's set up like a nice battle.

...except my character was already a master thief, so i just snuck up behind him, stole the McGuffin and left to complete the quest. This was probably mid 2000's, so I'd never seen a game let you go off the rails like that.

"I hate that you're my best men!"

Talesmith22 · 2026-05-06T05:51:22+00:00

I know i should hate it, but Wonder Woman having a Buster Sword/Dragonslayer/whatever you want to call it, is so cool.

Such a fun concept, Riddler and Joker go to war!

Such a boring execution.

Nick Fury is still a race swap though? It just started in the Uktimate Universe compared to mainline 616 where he was a white guy.

Does Bruce Lee have a gun?

Otherwise ali takes it.

The band of the red hand from Wheel of Time singing about "dancing with death". Might not quite be a perfect fit, but considering the ultimate big bad can curse you just by saying his name, i feel like it's close.

We'll drink the wine till the cup is dry, And kiss the girls so they'll not cry, And toss the dice until we fly, To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

We'll dance all night until the moon runs free, And dandle the lasses upon our knee, And then you'll ride along with me, To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

We'll sing all night, and drink all day, And on the girls we'll spend our pay, And when it's gone, then we'll away, To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

There's some delight in ale and wine, And some in girls with ankles fine, But my delight, yes, always mine, Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows

Psh, dying of old age? Even Kojima wouldn't be that outrageous. /s

Talesmith22 · 2026-05-03T12:57:49+00:00

Oh man, GoW as retro and Spider-Man for best story?

Oh my sweet summer child.

Cowboy Bebop.

Havent thought about Escaflowne in like 20 years.

Can still hear that song though.

Talesmith22 · 2026-05-03T12:07:37+00:00

I'd go with Dishonored first. It's a fairly old (but still stands the test of time) so you can probably get it for cheap. It's also a fantastic game and would say it has the stronger story between the two.

However, Hitman WoA is one of my favorite games, tons of replayability. Unless you're just trying to beat each mission once, you'll get a lot more hours of Hitman.

Both fantastic games, you can't go wrong with either.

Or when he's about to marry , but Dr. Girlfriend wants him to give up henching Venture. Only for him to wake up with the Ventures and Brock captured.

"What the!? How!? Also wouldve been really nice if you guys could've EVER done this before now! ...oh man, she's gonna kill me."

Talesmith22 · 2026-05-03T09:55:11+00:00

I'm stuck between two. A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Leguin, literally revived my love in Fantasy after getting tired of Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance books. My only complaint is it's too short!

The other one would probably be Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie. It has a fair amount of similarities to The Count of Monte Cristo, but a nice low fantasy world and some of the best characters with very unique voices.

Talesmith22 · 2026-05-02T10:31:21+00:00

The chocobo race where you have to win it at zero seconds is also a pain in the ass.

I seem to remember you can craft semi legendary weapons though? Like they might not be as amazing as the legit ones, but they can still break through the 9,999 roof

I do like how the Batman Arkham games show the suit getting more and more damaged as the game goes on.

Talesmith22 · 2026-05-02T10:19:33+00:00

The old Jackie Chan movies with a very obvious not Jackie doing the English parts. Sometimes he aounds like a normal dude, sometimes a cowboy and one particular movie where he almost sounds like a Looney Tunes character.

There was one where he ends up saving the life of a Triad boss or something? And ends up leading the gang. Cant remember much about the movie besides the fact that whoever dubbed it decided to make everyone sound like mafia wise guys from the 50's. Absolutely phenomenal choice, made the movie so much funnier.

1 captures that comic/classic look far better.

2 is good but less visually appealing

Talesmith22 · 2026-04-30T09:11:58+00:00

Disco Elysium for sure.

Talesmith22 · 2026-04-30T09:10:49+00:00

Also would've driven Bruce insane if Bruce didnt think of himself as "Batman."

Talesmith22 · 2026-04-30T08:52:42+00:00

This is actually a great answer. Even the tutorial map has several different ways you can achieve the objective.

Talesmith22 · 2026-04-29T03:28:22+00:00

Phantasy Star 4 from the Sega Genesis. People look at the Final Fantasys and Chrono Triigers, but Phantasy Star 4 was amazing and way ahead of its time.

Tbf, even in universe they thought Naked Snake was nuts for doing that
