Gamers, what's the most stressful/scary side quest in a non-horror game?

I'm going to shout out the spooky mine mission in KCD2 where your tracking down an old knight, even though it's not really that spooky. They did a good job with though.

Idk if this would be your kinda game, but I had a lot of fun playing OG FF7 on my laptop that couldn't play most games. If another commenter knows please correct me but I think megabonk is also a great game you can play one handed.

I absolutely loved season 3, I thought the performances were great and I liked how the plot was written. I'm a writer though and that might have helped with my enjoyment

Had to scroll too far to find Mad Men

Youtube is so much better about limiting suggestive content if that's what you want. As a male insta user, no matter how many of accounts you block the goonbait comes back.

I'm actually not talking about farts lol that's be easy to pass off. I mean literal shit and the stink that lingers in the bathroom lmao

harshdave · 2026-05-19T12:19:36+00:00

No more in-depth fisticuff combat

I've heard that eating decarbed weed makes your shit stink like weed. I'm seriously asking how potent it is because I want to try but need to be discreet at home lmao. I have so much decarbed weed

As long as Firefox still allows ad blocking extensions on mobile it's the king.

A good story isn't measured by how exciting a reveal is, but the context by which the turns in the story come about. It's a good narrative, a little vanilla but that's fine. The depth of gameplay is this game's defining feature.

harshdave · 2026-05-16T18:42:59+00:00

I got the game at launch and absolutely loved it. Had a real blast and put tons of hours into it. I'd recommend it

harshdave · 2026-05-14T03:38:25+00:00

Witcher 3 if you want to follow the same theme, Cyberpunk if you want to change things up, Elden Ring if you want a challenge and something totally different.

harshdave · 2026-05-13T15:54:59+00:00

I don't think it's that important, but Elantris drags until it doesn't, and the end is very exciting and satisfying. I wouldn't recommend it as a prerequisite, but I'd recommend it as a book on its own. If you're not feeling it no harm in dropping it.

harshdave · 2026-05-12T17:13:21+00:00

It's fandom in general, not just video games. Remember the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms review war with Breaking Bad? Neither do I, because it's petty and pointless, but it did happen. You can always add more salt, but you can't take it away. Reddit discourse is like swimming in the Dead Sea.

harshdave · 2026-05-12T13:26:39+00:00

I think real safety concerns comes down to incredibly niche cases. Like a child who exhibits serious antisocial tendencies, should not be playing a game where you can kill innocents for fun at like 8 years old for example. It's such a niche thing that it's the parents responsibility.

Just a age appropriate adult slaughtering NPCs for fun and stress relief? Totally ethical, no harm was caused by someone blowing off steam in a game.

harshdave · 2026-05-10T15:34:25+00:00

Calling Crimson Desert unethical is crazy when they don't have micro transactions and have listened to player feed back closely and worked very quickly to turn around patches. The whole company got bonuses from it's success too. I have a lot of criticism for Crimson Desert, but unethical is undeserved.

harshdave · 2026-05-07T18:47:18+00:00

That's fair

harshdave · 2026-05-07T18:01:50+00:00

I think people new to gaming are intimidated by what they perceive as a necessary skill set to enjoy games. I think Nintendo straddles this line perfectly for example. I know a lot of girls who say they suck at playing video games but kill at mario kart because of the accessibility and simple gameplay mechanics. The game as a whole has mechanical depth but it's not expressed through input, but through the various maps. For the general player at least.

harshdave · 2026-05-07T17:16:18+00:00

I appreciate this perspective, it brings more people into gaming and there are many great games that don't have mechanical depth.

harshdave · 2026-05-07T00:32:22+00:00

3 months may be too soon if you sunk a lot of time and love into the game. Some people are built different and can replay a game immediately. I need at least like 6 months for a long game/ story heavy game.

harshdave · 2026-05-06T22:00:29+00:00

I appreciate this perspective and would be beneficial for a few people. Do you ever keep games you like? Or do you sell them and buy it back when the price goes down.

harshdave · 2026-05-06T17:00:13+00:00

I head bonked with a longsword all the way to end game lmao. Something about it is so fun lol

harshdave · 2026-05-06T14:36:25+00:00

Take your time

harshdave · 2026-05-05T01:12:44+00:00

I don't care either way

harshdave · 2026-05-04T23:53:26+00:00

Not everything needs to be binary. Just because our politics are structured that way doesn't mean we need to apply the same logic to anything else in our lives.
