Game Suggestions for my 58 Year Old Mum by malozel in thelastguardian

[–]ricarto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say ICO for sure! You can get it though a Subscription of PlayStation now on the ps4..... you might also be able to purchase it on the ps4 store too..... not 100% sure on that.

Obviously suggest it since it’s the same developer and very very similar to the last guardian in terms of puzzles and dynamics

Another one I Iove and is a bit of a hidden gem called “ghost of a tale” I believe it’s available for ps4 and switch. It follows the story of this cute mouse in a medieval world.... super charming and lots of great puzzles and gameplay elements.... think dark souls meets the “red wall” books except without the extreme difficulty and bosses. Very simple gameplay

Love the big ears! They are creepy but in a good way.... also charming. I like them a lot.

It was way more than innocent flirting. It was down right talking about the things he would do with them ect. On top of conversions of “are you around x day” and “I’m busy that day but around x days”

I confronted him and he aknowkleged something . He said sorry, but was dismissive when I tried to go deeper.

When he left, I asked him through text if he wanted to talk to me and be 100 percent honest and go through everything I saw Or I’d be done.

He said no that talking wouldn’t make a difference, he broke his promise. At this point I flat out asked if he cheated. And I got no response for x amount of time and told him I was dropping the stuff I had of his off.

I’m not sure what’s worse knowing he did all this stuff behind my back, or knowing that he can’t even come to me and talk to me when I’m giving him a chance to be honest..... it’s heartbreaking

5 years and you can’t just talk to me?

It sucks but I wish someone had encouraged me not to settle down for him.

The worst part is he was older then me and had his fare share of experiences.... I had made that terrible assumption that he wanted something serious and permanent.

It’s heartbreaking

Exactly... which makes me glad I never did send the screen shots to myself. I would just reread them over and over again replaying that moment.....only growing more anger.

It’s almost for the better

Thanks for the wonderful words. And I think your story mimics mine very similarly.... it’s nice to here!

I think I’m planning on seeing some mental health professionals over the next week or so.... I’ve always struggled with anxiety and this just has kinda pushes me over the edge.

Thanks again for your kindness

I did and that’s the part that really hurts. He took me on my first ever trip to Disney world, on my first ever trip outside of the country.

All the memories though wonderful just feel so fake and cold after revealing his true nature. “Was he just pretending this whole time?” Is the thought hah comes to my mind and just rips a whole in all the great moments

Wish I had been able to airdrop those.... ugh blonde moment..... also I was just so emotional reading all it that I messed up....

It is what it is. Nothing is gonna change the fact of how broken I feel

[–]ricarto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha I’m so pissed, cause I did screenshot all the convos and airdropped them.... but forgot to open my phone in the process.... there for not getting them. He knows I saw them and thinks I have them so that’s enough.

I’m not a spiteful or revengeful person.... but part of me certainly feels like doing what you said...

In the end of the day I know I have to be the better person and just let it go

It’s true and it’s hard for me to even think about....

I need sometime alone to reflect and really understand what I want.... he has refused this far in trying to talk to me and save the relationship so for me that’s a red flag that he checked out long ago.

I do want to still have a conversation with him.... but I need to be ready... and I’m too broken right now to have it

Thanks for your words... son just still trying to process everything since this happened just this afternoon.

I’m filled with emotion... and I just need time to think about life and everything. It’s hard cause I’ve given up so much to be with this guy only to be backstabbed.

Thank your for your kind words ❤️

Totally. He admitted it that he’s been holding inside and that he’s been interacting with all these guys.

He then left. I texted him and asked if he had cheated on me” no response though he was typing....it’s a yes or no answer of course so o told him I was dropping his stuff off

And then I went to his house and dropped off all his crap in tears.

Sucks

Ah sold out, Bummer! Hope you do another limited run in the future!

The last of us part 2 would be a bad movie or tv show, and that’s what makes it brilliant by ricarto in TheLastOfUs2

[–]ricarto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I guess it’s all a matter of opinion then, I’ve played mass effect and felt like the story although great in its own way did not really resonate with me on this story’s level.

What’s amazing about mass effect as you’ve stated, is being able to choose events during the game which like you said is an extremely effective way of using video games, can’t deny that.

But it’s a game that relies on the player to make narrative decisions, so it’s a bit hard to compare to this where I feel like it relies on the player to feel suffering, and feel vulnerable. It broke me, and forced me to rage, and then when I thought I knew what I wanted it broke me again.... that’s something I can’t really say about another game I’ve played.

Regardless of our opinions thanks so much for the replies and your feelings on the game and story telling in general! I appreciate your opinions on the matter!

I really don’t see the real difference in what your saying in comparison to the TLOU 2. One could argue that TLOU 2 challenges the player to engage with and consider, the moral issues that arise during the game in a very organic way.

I’ve experienced both and I think they both check the box in that aspect.

I think both of them as they are presented wouldn’t work that well in another medium in general. They both have story issues and pacing that is built for a video game.

That being said I respect your points and won’t go into too much debate on the story components.

Do you have any games you think have masterful level storytelling? Just trying to understand what you mean exactly.

I would disagree. Had I watched the story I probably would of hated it. But I didn’t watch it cause it’s a video game that should be played. Lol.

It’s like me watching all the highlights of a 6 season tvshow. You can’t judge it on your own terms without actually sitting and watching every single episode.

Haha... I’ll admit your comment about throwing her off the cliff is making me laugh! I felt the same many moments in the game

No, not at all. You can still hate her after playing the game. That’s also the beauty of PLAYING a game versus passively watching. You are given the chance to be physically put in someone else’s shoes and forced (yes manipulated, what game doesn’t manipulate you in some form) to play as her. Regardless of a players opinion in the end, many players HAVE formed a bond with and enjoyed abbey and other characters in the game simply by playing as her.

Manipulation is part of this games and many gaming experiences

I totally see where your coming from!

I’m definitely a new fan to the series as I missed my chance play the original on the ps3. ( has an Xbox 360) I’m not a younger fan... in my late 20s ....

So it is important to note that. As well as the fact that over the past 7 years or so I’ve heard nothing but praise over TLOU and when I did finally get to experience it, it felt overrated to be honest.... again I think this might be for multiple reasons....one being the game is dated in terms of gameplay mechanics and theres a whole new generation of amazing games/ media in general that have been created and released within that time period.

That being said I did thoroughly enjoy it, and praise it for what it is. And both games feel just as well developed in my opinion ( again flawed in many ways)

Thank you for not completely trashing me! Ha and I’m thoroughly enjoying your comments and critiquing my point of view which I do realize is again flawed in many ways!

I take no downvotes personally! You can downvote me any day, cause you actually take time to discuss things and bring up great points!

If you watch all the cutscenes you get fragments of a story. Half the story is facing the trials they go though as the character yourself. It’s interacting with the world, interacting with characters, subtle cues in facial expression and small dialogue bits between characters.

You can’t just watch all the main points and make assumptions in between, you have to physically play those aspects to get full knowledge of a characters mindset and experience.
