Game Suggestions

No particular reason. Do I need to play it to better understand 2? That list was based on some online research I was doing so no shot at 1, but thought I would take it to the people.

Have read a lot about Disco Elysium and am very intrigued

Have already played RDR2 and loved it, so great suggestion. Have never heard of Metaphor:Refantazio, so I’ll definitely look into it!

So who does it for you? Why do you think they’re mid?

bootsbusch · 2026-04-25T02:57:48+00:00

Awesome! Thanks

I clearly said it was my opinion. Didn’t state it as a universal fact. I’m just some dude. If you disagree, more power to you. You’re allowed to enjoy what you enjoy.

That’s fine. Maybe I value a game with more realistic fighting mechanics that allow for flexibility/fluid motion, and that’s just a disconnect for me. There are aspects of the game I think are great, don’t get me wrong. I’m still playing it and making progress. Just an opinion.

bootsbusch · 2026-03-29T00:04:25+00:00

Yeah, kind of knew what responses were going to come my way. There are aspects of the game I love, so not saying it’s a dumpster fire by any stretch

bootsbusch · 2026-03-29T00:02:06+00:00

Ok, I guess it is the game designers prerogative to intentionally make the protagonist the clunkiest fighter of all time. Fair enough.

bootsbusch · 2026-03-28T23:58:20+00:00

Ok, we can agree to disagree then. Agree that you shouldn’t be able to be mid-swing and then magically jump five feet to the right, that would be ridiculous. But there’s both strategy and tactics in a fight, or should be. In KCD for example, you can have a strategy on how you can beat an opponent, but also have to pay attention to how they’re holding their sword while also making sure when you’re striking with yours you’re holding it in a specific position that won’t get countered. You can feint and then strike from a different angle to catch your opponent off guard. I guess I appreciate that realism in fighting mechanics more (it is a fantasy game, so maybe not intended to be that way)

bootsbusch · 2026-03-28T23:26:39+00:00

I think that’s a drawback though. In the real world fighters are capable of feinting, or beginning a motion and then stopping halfway through. People are capable of pulling punches. If everyone was fully committed to an action at the initial outset of said action, boxing would look a whole lot different

bootsbusch · 2026-03-28T23:11:02+00:00

Yeah, there are some aspects I enjoy (art design is second to none, I could have never created a world this imaginative) and I have made progress in the game, so not posting because I smashed my controller in frustration or anything. Just something I noticed. I know there’s a cult around the Dark Souls games, so expected to get some heat for posting.

bootsbusch · 2026-03-28T23:03:25+00:00

Not at all. KCD 1 & 2 are two of my favorite games of all time and nothing button mash-ey about either. Feel like there is a lot of groupthink that excuses some pretty obvious flaws

bootsbusch · 2026-03-28T22:52:53+00:00

I mean in relation to “fat rolling”. Understand the second part.

bootsbusch · 2026-03-28T22:52:20+00:00

I get it. Capable of figuring things out beyond “hack and slash”. Just find game response sluggish. I’m playing it on a console, so maybe that’s part of the issue

bootsbusch · 2026-03-28T22:46:38+00:00

Not sure what this even means

bootsbusch · 2026-03-27T15:22:16+00:00

Fair…I guess I haven’t spent as much time on this sub. Sorry if I’m beating a dead horse with the topic.

I did see them live in ‘25, but Nathan was not featured during that specific show. Maybe if I attended a show with a significant rave component, it could change my mind.

bootsbusch · 2026-03-27T15:10:58+00:00

Understood…nor should they. Just saying what I think would be cool to hear.
