I played The Witcher 1 over ten years ago.
Great story and even better ideas about consequences, but even then it was a rough gameplay experience.
It makes more sense when you realise it was originally going to be a PC port of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, but it leads to this awkward mix of gameplay styles that are hard to grasp at first. There's really not much to the combat other than clicking when the icon glows and moving.
The hardest fight in the game is a dog very early on, which you can cheese by stunning it with Aard (RNG based iirc) and landing a one hit finisher, but the fact that there's an unskippable lengthy cutscene right before it is absolutely obnoxious. And fighting something two levels above you is a death sentence, leading to a bit of exploring to get enough XP to be able to do everything.
First GTA slapped.
GOURANGA!!!!
By TSE do they mean TES. That'd still be weird considering I think more people would have had either Skyrim or Oblivion be their first entry, and not Morrowind
Yeah but even dedicated elder scrolls fans aren't going to go back and play through arena and daggerfall. Morrowind definitely feels old but from my perspective still feels very playable and understandable from a modern context. Daggerfall and arena are a different beast entirely and are a little more intimidating for the average gamer.
Thats a fair point! I've loved every entry of TES since Morrowind, yet I've never felt the urge to play Daggerfall or the first, and I dont think I ever will
Just finished persona 5 and persona 3 reload , I heard there will be a p2 remake so I'll wait for that (Still haven't played p4 tho).
I have played the first and second witcher games! I am sure that the first one has a lot of good stuff but all I really took away was that it was weird relative to modern games and it took a lot of willpower to finish. The second game is bad fucking ass! Buuuut the difficulty scaling and overall pacing is a bit odd. For example you can play on a relatively high difficulty and the base gameplay is very reasonable and fun but the bosses are just absolutely batshit and you'll get stuck in a loop where youre dying about 2.5 seconds after reloading endlessly edit: and if you haven't played 3 youre missing out! It is super fun and playing on death march is actually really rewarding and fun
First one has the best Alchemy system of the three, which only got progressively worse with each entry. I also felt more satisfaction researching monsters and their strengths/weaknesses prior to encounters in 1. The other games for whatever reason didn't quite scratch that same itch, but were obviously better in most other ways. All in all, I think I liked 1 and 3 the most.
The Witcher 1 is a pretty standard CRPG styled like the original Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, etc, and all essentially running a modified Dungeons and Dragons ruleset behind the scenes.
It probably did feel a little dated because it simply was dated, even for 2007 and with some of the changes they made to keep things interesting.
However, they did show boobies, so, you know.
fkn love boobies
I absolutely love Fallout 1 & 2. They are personal favorites. Far Cry 1 was also incredible, but the only ones I've touched after were Primal and Blood Dragon. I really need to try out the early GTAs though.
Get ready for a completely different play style. Those two are top-down games instead of third person
The early GTA games are different, for sure, but they're still fun games in their own right.
Only thing that really threw me off going back was no in-game map/radar.
I feel like I enjoyed the first two more than any afterwards. GTA 2 was an exceptional LAN game.
Such bizzare moment when someone acknowledged megaten series and its fanbase on this kind of forum.
Fallout 1(!) and 2 is still enjoyable due to its turn based and variety of char build. Although may be frustating if you do not understand how the game played.
Meanwhile on Saints Row series, the best are on 1 & 2 (back when they have more grounded story though they have whacky side content).
Well "far cry fans" are wrong. Far cry 2 is probably the last mildly risky game Ubisoft ever produced and was way ahead of its time in a lot of aspects.
Also far cry 1 was a completely different game and a decent shooter (for 2004). Definitely worth playing for the history.
Yeach as far as climate goes it was great. The only unfortunate choice were the endlesly respawning guardpost (?) not sure about the name. But it was a massively ubfortunate point. It really made the game go from very good to throwing your controler in rage very fast.
Respectfully disagree. It's the captured roadblocks that turn the late game of other far cry games boring. FC2 was constantly dangerous. Arriving at a mission start point was an adventure. You had the option to Leroy Jenkins into the roadblocks, beat a wide path around them, take the bus, or 30 other things in between.
That's why the later games make unlocked bases into fast travel points, because once defeated, there is no point in revisiting anything.
True, the hardest difficulties were actually very fun, but the respawning checkpoints kinda ruined them
I feel like the odd one out, i prefer most of the early games, FF1, GTA2, Warcraft 1+2, Farcry 1+2
You are not, it's just fanboys who have perverse need for allegiance for no other reason than to geek out over something that are not touching anything before their time. To me Fallout is the first two games, and perhaps New Vegas even though engine is dogshit.
I actually like Final Fantasy 2.
I have an irrational fondness for it. The stat leveling mechanic is real double-edged sword, though.
Unless we're talking about 2/4 (with Cecil as the main character), in which case that one's just an absolute banger, no notes.
FF1 was actually the only one I almost finished.
Are you using the US or the Japanese numbering? US 2 was pretty good. Japanese 2 was still super early and closer to 1, so not very complex. I found that one to be fairly dull.
I don't like FF4. There's little to no agency and the story is lacking. I don't understand why so many people like it.
I liked FF1. It's actually one of my favorite nes games.
Then we have Age Of Empires, where we just stick to 2 mostly.
If you play 4, I hope it improves and devs don't do more weird things!
If you are playing 3 DE, your tastes are beyond my understanding.
If you are playing 1, no you're not! They remade AOE1 in AOE2 engine, just come play with us over here.
Mythology fans, we're getting our remake soon!
And Half Life.. those developers can't even count to 3.
