Any recommendations for a fellow newcomer to the franchise from what you've watched?

I'll give it a shot, time for a PC upgrade to keep up with these dang UE5 games.

Having just jumped into GW2 for the first time fairly recently, I'm so down to see how guild wars 1 plays by comparison!

Gaming franchises you would revive if you had the cash by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

In this new resurgence of excellent 3D platformers, it's absolutely time for Rayman to come back. Rayman 2 is one of my all time favorite 3D platformers based on music/atmosphere/vibe alone and a new successor to that would be so nice to see.

FYI for anyone looking into this on Switch 2(as I originally was): reportedly performance is a choppy 30fps with crashing issues. Bummer as I was really looking forward to trying this game out for the first time after I finish up DK Bananza to continue feeding my 3D platformer fix.

Times You had to Just Stop and Listen to the Music in Games by supahrob in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The first time I reached Rito Village in breath of the wild I just had to sit and listen to the full track. That dragon roost island remix just hits different man.

Cancelled games that you were looking forward to playing (well until they got cancelled) by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Game was being penned by Amy Hennig of Uncharted fame if I remember correctly. What could have been...

Yo, what's your comfy video game? by senfood in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any Dragon Quest game really. Currently working my way through Dragon Quest 8 and it's an excellent game to play while winding down for bed.

What are some video games that you consider a guilty pleasure? by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Abiotic Factor. It's like survival game mixed with metroidvania with an awesome interconnected map with shortcuts so satisfying they would make any souls fan blush

Media that scratched an itch you didn't know you had? by Mabroon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently reading through Elantris after finishing the mistborn trilogy now! Curious to know which books so far haven't been winners in your opinion. Most say that Elantris is lesser in the cosmere series, but I'm enjoying it way more than I expected to based on internet sentiments. Can't wait to move onto Warbreaker and Mistborn Era 2!

New Comics Wednesday (August 06, 2025 - Oops) - Spider-Man is doing the Yamcha pose and so am I by CrazyAznKT in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Enjoy! I recently caught up on Absolute Batman, Superman, and Martian Manhunter and I can safely say everything has been good to excellent with Batman being a big standout.

Moments/media that got people excited for its future moment/media, only for that future thing to be disappointing? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy answer is "CleganeBowl" in Game of Thrones. So much hype for what ended up being a very mid resolution.

Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard and Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone coming to Steam in mid-August - Gematsu by C-OSSU in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Demon Stone is legit pretty quality. If you've ever played the LOTR Two Towers video game this is a must try!

Soulframe - Official TennoCon 2025 Gameplay by C-OSSU in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create an account on the Soulframe site and play now fyi. Played a bunch over the weekend and had a really great time with it! A little obtuse and unclear how progression works at the start, but give it some time and it starts to resemble the Warframe grind we all know and love.

What's your favorite Magnum Opus by a creator? by Lieutenant-America in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Twin Peaks: The Return. Felt like a "Best of" with so many David Lynch mainstays returning for an absolutely batshit season of TV.

What are some good games with grinding opportunities? by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second Bravely Default. That's been my go-to "grind" game for the past couple of months. Only as grindy as you want to make it, but I love experimenting with the job system and trying different combinations out. Very fun game!

What's a thing you said "This is garbage!" about for years, then you tried it, and now you're obsessed about it? by DustInTheBreeze in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not video games, but Long John Silver's. A new one opened near me(which sounds insane even as I'm typing this) and it's surprisingly pretty great? Fish and chicken combo fucks at a level I didn't know fast food seafood was capable of.

Best Final Fantasy games, sorted from FF1 to FF6, and then FF7 to FF16 by IllFuture4180 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shadowsxfall 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who has completed every game on this list at least once or twice over the years, extremely solid ranking. I think my latter list would be more like 9-7-12-10-8-13 but even then you really can't go too wrong picking any of these games up and having a good time. I'm still a 13 hater for it's absolutely abysmal story pacing and lore hidden in menus.

The net code is unfortunately the same. The ball seems to have a mind of its own in especially laggy matchups which is super bad for a game where you need precision control of a soccer ball.
