    I like your pick, Morrowind. I was very hyped to play it, and when I could finally own it, it was even better then I had hoped.

    I think my pick would be Inscryption. What a weird and delightful game :)

      Omg, I just bought GeForce 3 and it could do the water shader thing (ripples for rain and running through it).


      (This one was an official primo pic.)

      This was on non-GF3 GPUs:

      I don’t think I would erase it from memory tho, I like that it’s with me over the decades.

    Best horror: Dead Space Best story: Horizon Zero Dawn Best Multiplayer with Friends: Halo 3 Best Action: DOOM 2016

    Honestly I think why HZD sticks with me is because I work in tech and see how easily plausible that scenario is.

    Thomas Was Alone, The Fall, Rumu, To The Moon, Stanley’s Parable, Toem, Primordia, Turing Test, The Entropy Centre, Subnautica, Bioshock 2, Portal 1/2.

    Though honestly any game with good story would probably count here.

    Probably World of Warcraft. That’s a couple thousand hours in total as I played on and off on private servers throughout the years from 2006-2012, plus a brief stint with BfA.

    Actually, no, I’d rather not forget how I saw the game evolve, even if my experience wasn’t the ideal one.

    Okay, now that I have thought about it, I have realized it Has to be a game that fits the following bullet points:

    • Isn’t part of a franchise I’ve played multiple games in. That would ruin my first time experience playing a sequel or plenty of games in a series.

    • Not something someone I watch online makes content on.

    So I’m thinking a good answer for me would absolutely be a game like SuperTuxKart. It’s its own individual thing and I don’t really watch channels that play it. It’s the prefect candidate for me that I would absolutely love to pick up for the first time. Especially since the 1.5 update ( if it’s out already ).

      In Elden ring I explored every fucking inch of the world hoping to see something new.

      This is, imo, the best game ever made.

      People say that the breath in the wild rewarded exploration but the game felt soullless and empty to me. Oh, another fucking Kurok seed, oh great, a fucking puzzle. I never came across anything interesting.

      In ER I was obsessed with the lore, loved the combat, I felt like there was something new around every corner I wanted to see. It was fucking magical.

        I couldn’t go back to BotW after Elden Ring.

        In both games you have a vast world to explore. You see something in the distance, and it turns out it’s actually a place you can go to, which is such a cool feeling. You’re rewarded for every path you go down.

        In Elden Ring you’re rewarded with some weird new scroll or a weapon that even if you won’t use it, you can totally see why it’s unique and cool in its own way.

        But in Breath of the Wild you’re rewarded with a shrine that gives you nothing, or with another fucking Korok seed. And also while you were exploring your weapon broke.
