Baldur's Gate 2 and Pillows 2; I tried their predecessors and I just don't think I've acquired the sort of cranial blunt force trauma that would enable me to appreciate a gameplay mechanic like RTwP
What the fuck is this heresy? Betrayal at a Krondor is one of the kindest games around. It took your mother out to lunch and expected nothing in return, volunteers hours at the soup kitchen, and helps old ladies find plastic bottles to recycle.Betrayal at Krondor. Its difficult to explain why i dont want to play it. (its not graphics though Dark Sun is one of my favorite games).
I'm trying Deadfire for the umpteenth time and I'm actually enjoying it this time. Now that I've:Baldur's Gate 2 and Pillows 2; I tried their predecessors and I just don't think I've acquired the sort of cranial blunt force trauma that would enable me to appreciate a gameplay mechanic like RTwP
A lot of Top 50 games fall into that category for me, it's not that i'm reluctant, i'm never going to play many of them like :
- Deus Ex
- Dark Souls
- Gothic 2
- The Witcher 1 & 2
- System Shock 2
- Alpha Protocol
- Morrowind
- FNV
.
Holy shizny. If I were to do a "top 20 RPGs" list they'd likely all be in there.
Some serious quality gaming there which you're missing out on chap.
This will sound like (it probably is) blasphemy, but Planescape: Torment. All I hear is that there's ONE certain way to play the game (putting all points into wisdom, intelligence and charisma...also playing a mage) and you NEED to do that to be able to fully appreciate the game. For some reason that just created this currently unsurpassable mental block in my head.
That's one I'm REALLY reluctant to try. It has some nice aesthetics but the writing looks like a bunch of mindbending metaphysical babble that might have impressed me when I was 15. I could be wrong but that's the overwhelming impression I get from looking at anything about that game including LPs.
Wizardry 6.
It looks and sounds like complete ass. Why couldn't the japenese have done a proper port of it? Need to get the guys who did the bards tale remasters on that stat.
Underrail
Pathfinder: Kingmaker
I have no fucking idea why. Underrail is even sitting in my STEAM library. I kinda like imagining it's gathering dust, and one day I'll pick the virtual box out of the virtual shelf and install it and go "omg, how have I been missing out on this this whole time?!". But today is not that day.

Same reason I probably won't ever bother trying Grimoire again. Even with people claiming it's kinda sorta finished now, an advertised 600 hours gameplay is the exact opposite of what I'm looking for in games nowadays.

He is right though. Those are exactly the kind of games I don't care about - would add the Vampire games as well. And Betrayal at Krondor. Tried most of them but it didn't click.
Probably because of the real-time combat in most of those.
