Ask Lemmy

Young Souls. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to couch co-op games if we find one we can both enjoy.

And this one was good, but it was basically unplayable on the Switch (or, at least, constantly crashed mine). Finally got to the very end (where there's no saving from the start of the end cutscene until the finale) and it crashed before the final battle. Restarted, got through several minutes of cutscenes, got a little farther but crashed again, this time in the final battle. Tried one more time and it crashed again in a different spot. Promptly deleted the game.

So I guess we'll never finish that one.

Atomic Heart. I was excited to learn that Mick Gordon participated in the music and I got hooked by the aesthetic of the intro sequence, but the drawn-out underground lab ~~mission~~ series of fetch quests completely killed my enjoyment. I'd only gotten to three out of four macguffins before I gave up.

The insufferable talking glove didn't help either.

Tiny Tina Wonderland but only because my friend has been busy lately so we didn't start yet, I could do with that money that I bought it on sale though...

I'm glad I didn't but that new Enshrouded. I was really excited for it. I'm so picky about new games and thought this could be one. But the first moments I saw some playthrough today, and I saw the crappy graphics, I was out. I don't even want to see anyone play it. Yuck.

Why in 2024 do they release these "hot" games with jaggy graphics, low quality graphics, cartoony and low color graphics?

All of them.

The only one I wouldn't are those I didn't pay for like Sauerbraten & Wesnoth. But I didn't pay for them so NA.

And now I play board games.

Buying RDR2 to play Red Dead Online with a friend. I got disconnected three different times while trying to complete the first mission, which you have to finish before the game lets you do anything else. Every single time I had to start the mission over from the beginning, including the stupid-ass cutscene.

I gave up after the third time when I got dropped as I was literally about to finish. Fuck that scam.

Red dead redemption 2. I bought a used copy and the asshole at game stop asked if I wanted insurance and I was like no. Shit never worked and was too lazy to go complain.

None.

Almost always I can tell if a game is for me or not within the first four hours and I'll just return it on Steam if it isn't. I've done it dozens and dozens of times without any problems.

Now, sometimes I'll not be entirely sure if those four hours are enough but some reviews left me unsure. Star field was such a case. I procured that through alternative channels and decided after about twenty hours and four times as many crashes that it was indeed shit.
