  • Abzu? Dave the diver, maybe? Dredge?

    Or, this might be a might more out of left field or maybe completely stupid and not at all what you had in mind, but what about coral island? You don’t get to experience the water surface except when fishing or doing other stuff on the shore. But you get to do stuff on the bottom and there’s mermaids and stuff.

    Stardew valley with a tropical island vibe. So definitely fun and immersive. Definitely more adjacent than something like sea of thieves or black flag or subnautica, but I feel like it fits better than just cause 3, imo



  • Right, but the fifa series afaik makes most of its money by selling packs of cards with players in them. Packs and players that you can get by just playing. But they still sell those packs for $$, so why wouldn’t it count? Afaik, that’s one of the main culprits besides counter strike that are named when talking about loot boxes

    Borderlands the same, you can buy random gear with cash. I guess it’s less fomo and less abusive, but they’re still literal loot boxes that they sell for money





  • Yeah, my bad, I focused too much on the specifics and should’ve just looked at the meaning itself. In my head theater = restaurant, home tv = home kitchen. Good movie = bourguignon, average movie = noodles. And I had an issue with the latter part. Because to me it’s not about the quality of the movie, but the quality of the experience or at least getting something that you can’t get at home, same as in a restaurant I’d usually order stuff that I can’t make at home. Or that is too complicated to make at home.

    Imo, noodles at restaurant are better cause of powerful gas stove which lets you actually fry stuff and not just steam it and gets you the wok hei, bourguignon at home or restaurant won’t be that much different since it’s just a stew and there’s not much you can do in a restaurant to make it better.

    So that’s why I thought it wasn’t a good analogy. But if you just look at the meaning behind it, as I should’ve done, it’s a good analogy.




  • That’s fair, but the analogy is wrong, imo. In the sense that I can enjoy a good movie anywhere. I don’t need to see the green book in a cinema to enjoy it, it’s probably even better at home. I go to the cinema for the experience…the huge screen, the sound, etc. Which is why the only movies I’ve seen in cinemas in the past years are Avatar, Furiosa, Deadpool and into the spider verse, pretty much.

    This again? Anyway, sure… Tetris or doom for importance. Not really the best. That goes to rdr2 for being one of the best selling games of all time while also being almost universally loved by both critics and fans. Not my personal favourite game, but objectively speaking, the title should go to rdr2, I think

    So left hand only games… driving games should work(enjoying NFS heat, atm), turn based games and isometric RPGs (plenty of those, depends on preferences… Balatro, slay the spire, XCOM, disco Elysium, etc… I could make a list if needed).

    Telltale games like the wolf among us and stuff

    Vampire survivors and all the similar games (halls of torment, brotato, soulstone survivors, etc)

    The only problem is that people are idiots, especially online. Go to any comment section and you’ll find people angry at the content, no matter what the content is. And you’re taking them seriously, for some reason. Laugh at them and move on, no more polarization problem. As you’ve said, 77% of people enjoyed avowed. Probably even more, as people are a lot more likely to leave a bad review than a good one.
