  Probably Gunfire Reborn: It’s sort of a cartoonish FPS roguelike I initially bought on sale, played a bit, and wrote off, but I randomly picked it up one day months or maybe even years later and ended up getting hooked. The unique weapons keep it interesting and the and semi-casual nature of the game makes it easy to pick up and play for a bit, then put down when you have to do something.

    Looks kinda like a cartoon unreal tournament, might give it a try.

  Dark Souls, kinda. Got DS2 when it was pretty new, and couldn’t get into it at all. Then I tried DS1 years later and absolutely loved it. So I tried 2 again, and it still didn’t click. Then 3 released, loved it to bits, played through 1 again, tried 2 again, SotFS this time, and I still hate that game. The way everything moves in 2 is just awful, and I will die on the hill that it’s a poorly made mess, from the ground up.

  The other souls games are great though. Still have to get around to BB since the frame rate killed it for me on the ps4, but it works great in emulator now, as well as DeS

    For me, a friend let me borrow Demon Souls but it just didn’t click. Years later, I played Dark Souls and it immediately became my favorite game. DS2 was my least favorite of the series, in equal parts because of the much different control/feel and also the wasted mandatory levels you have to spend to get reasonable i-frames. It just feels clunky compared to the rest of the series. I do really like the level design and environments though.

    DS2 exists for when you don’t want to play DS1 or DS3 anymore but you want more souls game to play.

    It is also the roughest game to get started in but also by far the best game to cycle into New Game+ multiple times. It’s weird like that.

  Possibly my favorite game, “From the Depths” got me like this. It’s a vehicle builder that gives you a lot more stuff to design, both in functionality and in letting you make something look how you want, than most others I’ve seen… But the learning curve is like a brick wall and I just didn’t get what I was supposed to do the first time around.

  Red Dead Redemption 1. 2 I unfortunately was never able to get into.

    Some chase sequence where I shot my own horse in the back of the head, he immediately faceplants at throws me like 20 feet and land on my head and break my neck. “Fuck joystick aiming.” I still haven’t picked it back up. Maybe the PC port will do it for me, idk

  • Karjalan@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I had this exact same experience. The idea if RDR didn’t dry much for me b so I ignored it. One day I saw “gold edition”, or whatever the one with all the DLC and expansions included, for like $15. Thought “why not”.

    Took a while to play it, but when I did I was hooked. Even the, at first, seemingly ham fisted undead expansion was really fun.

      2 was just so slow compared to 1. I know they were going for ultra realism, but it made it not fun for me.

    For some reason, the repeated misspelling of “Spelunky” as “Speulnky” has really tickled me. I’m genuinely sorry if you’re dyslexic or similar, but “shpoil’n’key” is irrationally funny.

    Skyrim with mods is a special kind of addiction which I’ve never really seen anything else replicate. The bizarre thing is that the base game is kind of… bad. But comfy.

  Dwarf Fortress back in the day (I think it’s more user friendly now). I just couldn’t figure out how to do most things.

  Then I just decided to like job it: watched some videos, took some notes – basically did my homework, then was able to build a base and last long enough to starve. And again. Then the next time ran out of booze. Then was doing great but eventually had too many dwarfs and starved again. Then goblins. Then a big monster. And it goes on like that and that’s the fun!

  Path of Exile. My friend introduced me to the game but he was a hardcore player so I started playing hardcore with him. A few years later I decided to try the game on my own in softcore and got addicted.

  Mass Effect. I didn’t get far in the original. Played the Legendary Edition trilogy all the way through. Went back to the original. It’s the tank (Mako). It dies in like 2-3 hits and you get less XP for kills in it. It’s just not fun and they never fixed it in the original. Legendary fixes it. At the very least, it’s balanced to the game’s difficulty setting. Where in the original it’s stuck on the hardest setting, but only for the Mako missions.

  Original came out in like 2007, Legendary came out in like 2016. Might be off by a year or two with one or both.

    Tbh I never really had an issue with the Mako sections besides them just being boring. Also the scanning mini game in 2 got extremely tedious very quickly.

    source

    • dragontology@retrofed.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Sorry for the late reply… just saw this. IIRC one of the “Legendary Edition” fixes for 2 was speeding up the scanner. There’s a button you hold and the scanner moves more quickly. However, the zones are quite sensitive.

      Andromeda has the same feature, but worse. When you’re in the Mako (or whatever they called it, I already forgot), you can scan for minerals, but only if the mining computer is open (RB/R1), and the screen is way too big. I’ve never seen a mineral register over half. Crafting sucked in Andromeda (and honestly in all of ME) in general; once you’d researched a thing, you could just buy it, or more likely find 0-2 copies a day out in the field, and you just sell what you don’t need. Once I realized that, I stopped hunting for minerals, and I only researched, never crafted (outside of like 2 missions that required it).

  Both Project Zomboid and Old School Runescape. Dropped both of them quick the first time around and now they are the only two games I play

  Grounded. It initially felt impossible cuz early game practically every enemy one-shots you. Abandoned it for a while, then a friend played it and told me the secret is to learn all the movesets and perfect parry every single hit, and I was like “that sounds unreasonably difficult”, and then immediately played it for like nine hours straight.

  • Masamune@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    9 hours straight?! You gotta pump those rookie numbers up!

    I really enjoyed Grounded and look forward to trying the sequel at some point.

  Dragon’s Dogma. I tried any number of times to get into it over the span of years, I’d put 8-10 hours in, but I just couldn’t manage it, it felt like I always hit some kind of unreasonably gruesome difficulty spike and I could never overcome that, and I’d drop it. But then one time I played it and I just… Never hit that spike, for whatever reason. Played it all the way through to completion. Great game, knew I’d like it, I just couldn’t find a foothold!

  Hollow Knight.

  At first, I was a bit put off by what I felt were stiff mechanics (I played the Ori games first), then I tried it again after a while and realized the mechanics were really just precise.

  And now I’m absolutely hooked on Silksong and nothing else compares.

  Destiny. I picked it up at launch, played the campaign, then thought “that’s it?” I didn’t exactly realize what Bungie was doing. I picked it back up when The Taken King launched and have been playing ever since. Still play D2 even though many people have dropped it.

  rimworld, dwarf fortress, factorio. ugh. cannot escape it now. though with DF the “jitter” of the chars moving messes with my eyes, so i really dont play it much. i know its turn based, I just like smoother movement or a roguelike where my actions begets movement in “clips”.

  source

  • nailbar@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I tried DF, felt too hard. Then I read the story about cats dying from alcohol poisoning, and tried again. That was back in the Ascii days. The game ended up on my all time favs list after that.

  Stationeers. I bought it a while ago and apparently played it for an hour, although I don’t remember anything about that experience. Then I got into it again and got really into it.

  Demon Souls, couldn’t get into it the first time, then I gave it a shot sometime later but with a guide for only the order to do levels ( I have no walkthrough policy) , it is fantastic (ps3)

  Valheim.

  The first time I tried it, I got a really terrible seed, which turned me off pretty quickly. I also went in solo and blind.

  My second time around, I got a pretty decent seed.

  One where the Swamps actually gave me iron for once, and the Plains and Mistlands weren’t surrounding my tiny ass meadows spawning area…

  I also watched a few tutorials and played with friends.

  By the end, I had 1800 hours in the game and had built entire towns in vanilla mode.

  I spent about twice as much time in creative/debug mode just building away.

  I haven’t played in a year but I can’t wait to dive back in with the new North location once it releases.

  Baldurs Gate 2. Never played the first and didn’t know D&D so it was a LOT to get used when Final Fantasy was the most complicated RPG I’d played before trying it.

  Fumbled the intro dungeon and just couldn’t get into it so it sat in a drawer for awhile. Then Throne of Baal was announced and for some reason I gave it another try and got SUPER into it. No idea how many times I’ve played through it now. The engine really doesn’t hold up well but I love the characters so much.

  This sounds like a really cool idea. Since ethics rules are negotiated anyway, this isn’t as problematic as a “morality index.” Maybe keep the data forever in case anyone cares, but calculate the main score on the most recent 5-year period.

  In the US, at least, truth is supposed to be an absolute defense against slander or libel. And opinions are protected speech in any event.
