There are plenty of games in the series I admit but I’ve been steadily playing them across three years or so as something I know I’ll enjoy but don’t feel that I want to plough through in one go.
I was just lucky that they announced the 3-5 remakes not long after I finished Kiwami 2 as I was thinking about having to find copies of the PS3 games and dig my console out of the attic to complete the series
Zero and Kiwami are easy to play as one offs from the main series though.
@Kidfried Yeah it's definitely very impressive that it's all made by one person, and I can see what you mean about the parallel between RotOD and the Souls games, discovering things for yourself is all part of the fun!

@Th3solution Metal Gear Solid springs to mind, and that JRPG series KratosMD was into that requires extensive knowledge of previous games to get the most out of them. You could argue aven after playing the MGS games you still won't know what is going on with the story! 😆
@Kidfried Thank you, that it very helpful. I'll try and 🐻 that I'm mind once I've finished Judgement.
@JohnnyShoulder good call on the MGS series. That is another one that is a long interdependent collection where full appreciation of the narrative requires played through the whole shebang.
The other you’re trying to think of is the Trail of Cold Steel and all those other Legend of Heroes games. And Yup, a completely similar situation also with hundreds of hours across multiple games needed for the full effect

@Th3solution I remember watching a recap on the MGS story before I played V as I've only played 1 and 2. I think I would have better off not watching it!
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder I know, right - As much as I love the series, it’s a tangled web as far as narrative coherence. And probably the most crucial prequel to MGSV is Peace Walker, which was largely looked over because it was introduced on PSP. And the next most important game to understand it would be MGS1, which is stranded on PS1.

@RogerRoger We’re actually playing Psychonauts as part of the Xbox Game Club this month so I’ve played the first couple of hours and our lovely host @ralphdibny has finished it!
We started Psychonauts this month. I thought it was brilliant and more or less 100% it. Then I played the VR spin off Rhombus of Ruin last night which was a decent if not brief affair.
I, as well as others have written up some thoughts of both games in that thread. Please do mosey on over and post some of your thoughts as you play. Alternatively, I could copy and paste some of my thoughts over to this site 😅
Doom (2016) is brilliant, really didn’t think it’d be my kinda thing but loving every minute. I’ll look forward to playing Doom: Eternal when Doom:Returnal/Infinite/???? releases 😎
@colonelkilgore If you finish the first one quickly enough you could always join in with Doom Eternal since the rest of us are playing it for Game Club. You’d have to be really really fast though 😂
@nessisonett sadly that’s my one day this week when I can game done and I probably won’t get anything else done until next week now. One day my goofy schedule will coalesce with Game Club… I have faith ✌️
Far Cry 5 - and loving it. From almost binning it after a few hours due to finding the AI and spawning almost unbearable, I have done a complete 180 on it, and now find that where once it frustrated me, I now have turned those things into positives to be exploited purely for fun. The main story has taken a back seat to me just jerking around in the open world, wandering around and doing anything that I stumble across. I love the setting and it's so good to explore. The perks are interesting, the vehicles feel solid, the gunplay is huge fun, the specialists are hilarious when used to full effect. Taking out camps by stealthing out around the perimeter, taking out guards with the bow, sneaking in and freeing some hostages, looting, cracking safes, planting explosives, then making a gateway in a nearby seaplane - it's been a good while since I had as much fun just letting things happen around me, and seeing what they lead to. Reminds me a little off the open world hi-jinks from Saints Row 3, another game I loved exploring away from the main story - the worlds in both games feel so alive, vibrant and interesting. Far Cry 5 is fast becoming my personal favourite this year thus far.
@Jimmer-jammer couldn’t have said it better myself… it really is ridiculously well designed and perfectly balanced. Since logging off my mind keeps drifting off of whatever TV show the missus and I are watching… it ends up back on Mars, subconsciously working about the ultimate rhythm of mod-use, glory-kill and chainsaw-hack. Just so damn good!
