Just a small correction: Horus is not the god of death, but the god of ruling, war and the sky. The role of god of death fits better to Anubis or Osiris, depending on how you interpret the role.

You know, it’s almost like politics affects everything. Strange thing that.

I don’t want to debate politics everytime myself, but the fact stays that at the end of the day, everything is political

I played only the full game and not the demo. As far as I heard about it, the demo had all elements of the full game just a smaller area to work in. If you think the demo was not fulfilling enough, I don’t think the full game will satisfy you.

It definitely is a game where you need to set goals for yourself. It is better described as a program than a game, because it is not objective driven at all, but simply gives you the possibility to build scenes.

Very well written! Your second paragraph describes so well why I like Cross and its s story.

I didn’t know that Trigger story was written by two people, but yeah, in hindsight it explains a lot.

Ah, yes. Thanks for the reminder, already forgot about this bullshit decision from Sony for the PC release.

Why not?

I have to admit I’m not into the complex strategy games myself, because I dislike that the first 100 hours are just the tutorial. But I heard good things about Stellaris, although you need apparently some of the DLCs, so wait for a sale there. Endless Legends and Endless Space are different games but both in the same universe, but the latter is in space and the other based on fantasy. And I saw enough memes about Crusader Kings 2 to know that it is Crazy Story Generator in Medieval Times.

I played

Sanctum 2, a fun mix of FPS and tower defense. There still are some active players, although it might take a while to get a full 4 player game.

I would say PC only games mainly consists of complex strategy games like StarCraft or Total War and small indie titles that were not ported to a console like Dwarf Fortress. I would argue in general that there aren’t really any must play titles, it all depends on what genres you like.

I would recommend Oneshot, which is in the second category and similar to Undertale. While there is a console port, it loses a lot of appeal due to a certain spoilery mechanic if you play it not on a PC.

Other games I like in the indie category:

• FTL: Faster than Light
• Into the Breach
• Baba is you
• Renowned Explorers

On the strategy side there are real time strategy games like StarCraft 2, Age of Empires 4/Age of Mythology, all of the MOBA games like Dota 2 or complex 4X games like Hearts of Iron 1-4 and all of the Total War series etc. I personally like AoE4 and the new remake for AoM.

If you like those totally depends on you.

Except Half-Life, that one is PC only and must play. I suggest to play the remake Blackmesa and Half Life 2, then you don’t need to play a 20 year old game.

Well, he did call the person he thought was racist a mutual…

Yes, Radical Dreamers is a visual novel and between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. But they got released together on Steam, which is what you are linking to.

100% agreed.

For me ‘Dream of the Shore Near Another World’ is the best piece, it’s otherworldly serenity just hits the perfect notes for me.

Although directly behind it is the intro theme, which screams ADVENTURE to me. It is one of the few game intros I never skipped during my whole playthrough.

No question the 3D graphics of the time are far worse than pixelart, but I actually liked the art direction. Personally I’m not really a fan of Akira Toriyamas style, although it is characteristic and easily recognizable.

Regarding the battle system I’m neutral. I liked the old system, but I also like that they tried something new. I appreciate the possibility to teach characters skills how you like. But it isn’t easily understandable for sure.

The source for this picture is from Vermis, a guide book for a fictional video game that doesn’t exist. It is interesting and full of atmosphere.

Strange, I somehow ‘remember’ that you needed to play on hard, but checking it again, you are right. Just easy difficulty is not getting the best ending.

Definitely an interesting concept. The hard part would be to make it still interesting for the player to continue or better restart and also to keep it hidden, so that the player will reach this conclusion by themselves. Too oftena nice mechanic like that is already given in the marketing material, underscoring every emotional impact it could have ever had.

Haven’t played it myself yet but from what I heard the Witcher series should be up your alley then.

No they didn’t?

If I’m not getting whooshed from you playing the act:

The joke is that everything in the meme is already in the established TES canon. But capital G Gamers™ (which I hate that those assholes made that word negative), being media illiterate and being “anti woke”, often don’t see what their loved games contain, even if they complain about those things.

Oh, that is sad to hear. Was it in the original or in the remaster version?
