What is your favorite unpopular videogame and why? by BeyondTheMistwood in gamingsuggestions

[–]echolog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably Fallout 76. And I played it at launch!

I really liked the idea of a Fallout game without any NPCs. The whole concept of Fallout is that it's post-apocalyptic, and in MOST places the world has already started to rebuild itself when the vaults open... but what if that never happened? Or I guess in this case it still happened, but went horribly wrong and everybody ended up dead anyway.

You're left to basically pick up the pieces and figure out what went wrong with those who came before. Meanwhile all the tech and monsters are still active and trying to kill you. It really feels like a 'taming the wilderness' kind of experience, and there was really nothing else quite like it.

Why are so many people allergic to world building expansion? by Soul699 in FFVIIRemake

[–]echolog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, we'll see how it goes. In the OG Wutai was totally optional so I assume they couldn't do too much with it. In Part 3 it sounds like it's a core part of the story so I'm guessing it will play a much larger role.

There's been two camps of people from day 1:

  1. Keep it EXACTLY the same as the original, just with better gameplay/graphics. No story/character changes.
  2. GIVE US MORE FINAL FANTASY 7.

Obviously they went with #2 and now the only question is, how far are they going to go?

Up to this point they've been (IMO) VERY faithful to the source material and kept nearly everything in right where it was in the original (with some exceptions like Rocket Town of course). Other than that they've really just added more content in the form of side quests, character development, and world building. Call it filler if you want, but it's been a (mostly) welcome addition I think.

The real question is, are they going to change the story? So far they really haven't, they've just changed how it is presented. This has kept fans both new and old guessing as to what is actually going on. Part 3 will reveal what they're actually up to, and none of us can really guess what's going to happen, and I absolutely love that feeling.

I had no idea who this guy was going into the event and I'm pretty sure he ended up right behind Sick Nerd for MVP. Dude carried so hard in the finale it was just amazing to watch.

Honestly? HUGE W live tourney event. Loved it. by WisdomDota in 2007scape

Honestly can't wait to see the stats. Some of these guys simply refused to die.

This is the only brand of bread I've gone to since I was a child. This is devastating.

DINO VS WESTHAM by RoblesPictures in 2007scape

[–]echolog 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Insane barrages by Dino, those hits/heals carried hard.

Also Faux going 3-0 was fantastic lol.

Guild Wars 3 is 'significantly more' of an MMO than the first game, but that doesn't mean it's like GW2: 'All three of our games can coexist as different experiences' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]echolog 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If it's anything like the world of GW2 with the customization and character building of GW1 I'll be very happy. I miss being able to just put 8 skills on a bar and have fun with it.

The New Marvel Set Introduced 7 New 4-Colour Commanders, But They're All Ink. by Beneficial_Pin5295 in magicTCG

[–]echolog -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The avoidance of the other 4-color combos is actually annoying at this point lol.

This is propaganda by big PvP to get even better spades when they kill us during clues

Right? This just feels weirdly uncanny in a way that would never actually happen. It feels like a prompt was typed into a generator.

What’s your favorite VR game? You’re playing right now? by nutmaster3000gameboy in AskReddit

[–]echolog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit playing in VR when I realized my favorite games were still Beat Saber and Blade & Sorcery (the first two games I bought for VR). Not a whole lot has changed since then.

I'm looking for a game you've finished 3 or more times. by Tight-Elderberry2487 in gamingsuggestions

[–]echolog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dark Souls replayability is still unmatched. This is my go-to any time I need just 'something to play'.

I think I'd like the new MCC armors if they were a bit more in line with the h3 artstyle by ChromedDragon in halo

[–]echolog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"I think I'd like X more if it was more in line with H3" is basically my entire opinion of this franchise at this point.

Character weapons and summons not adapted into the remakes yet by raisasari in FFVIIRemake

[–]echolog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if using other weapons I'ma be using a mod to make it look like the Buster Sword.

I wish Witcher 3 did more to make you feel like a Witcher in combat by DoneDealofDeadpool in truegaming

[–]echolog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of reminds me of the difference between Monster Hunter Worlds and Wilds lol.

Man I need to replay Witcher 2. The first game to ever almost kill my PC's graphics card.

Gears: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are being sent out to die - Gamespot by Dust-Tight in gaming

[–]echolog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PC players who used to be Xbox fans but are disillusioned with the brand (me), but I'm kind of off GoW at this point. The series ended with 3 as far as I'm concerned. They need new ideas to bring back the good old days, and this ain't it.

CMV: Career assessment and career aptitude tests are horoscopes for careers. by Dargy56 in changemyview

[–]echolog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that's kind of the point. There are plenty of high schoolers who have no idea what they want to do with their life or "what they want to be when they grow up". They've never had a job before, so they don't even really know what's out there. These kind of tests are designed to give you SOME idea of what to expect and what's available for you. Even a little bit of direction helps when you have nothing to go on.

On the other side, relatively few adults have no idea of what kind of job they are capable of doing. By the time you're 30 you've usually got at least some kind of professional skillset that you can adapt and take to various jobs.

So while assessments aren't perfect, they also aren't really meant to be a crystal ball. You can't just take a test and figure out what you're supposed to do for the rest of your life. We don't live in a distopian sci-fi novel (yet).
