recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

    Terraria - I just don’t understand what you’re meant to do or why it’s interesting.

    I actually really like TOTK though, it’s a big improvement over BOTW with a slightly more alive world and the vehicle creation stuff is fun.

      Idk if I’m just dumb or something but I have tried to play terraria on 5+ separate occasions and the controls and UI just DON’T make sense to me. Like how to craft?! How to equip? How to do stuff? It was just so confusing. I tried on mobile and steam deck. I even looked up the controls online and mapped it out. It just never clicked for me. I felt like an 80 year old using a smartphone for the first time.

        Yeah, I hate how it’s all designed around looking stuff up on the Wiki too.

      I agree with you, more or less, on both. Terraria always felt like “we have minecraft at home” to me - I get the concept, but other games do it so much better, in my mind.

      TOTK is great and I love it. I think… in some ways I prefer BOTW, like for BOTW’s happier overall tone, but TOTK does have a lot going for it and is everything I never thought to hope for in a sequel. My main frustration is just that your creations despawn so fast if you walk away from them, because of switch hardware limitations - I wonder if that’s something someone will ever manage to mod for emulation.

        I feel that TOTK is happier in some ways though, like the villages feel more populated at least after solving the crises.

        The lack of object permanence is incredibly frustrating sometimes, it’s a shame as it’d be awesome if it supported more Factorio style gameplay too. This thread was good on the issues with TOTK - https://lemmy.ml/comment/524847

        Overall it’s so fun to play though, like the boss fights are so well designed. It reminds me of Super Mario like that too, where it might not have a deep story or writing but it’s just fun to play.

      I thought I couldn’t contribute because most games I buy I really do enjoy. Maybe not finish, but there has been enjoyment. Except Terraria. It’s hyped like crazy, but I can’t find out why. Nothing makes sense to me and I don’t get what needs to be done. And I did like Minecraft quite a bit
