There are too many videogames. A thread of polls for the indecisive.

I voted Nier Replicant so that you can revive the thread that is still Nier and Dier to my heart, even if it had an unwarranted and inexplicable name change

I need to know if, only three hours in, you managed to discover the Very Honourable Rock and defeat the boar or not

2nding Astral Chain. That’s an excellent game but it took me a minute to adjust to the 30 FPS in a fairly fast game.

Fields of Mistria is the Harvest Moon I’ve been wanting since I ran out of things to do in Stardew, but it’s early access and will only get better the longer you wait.

i dont think there’s really a substitute for just clicking buttons on the guy you like for better or for worse. But also I never touch single player content in fighting games in general so maybe I’m not the person to say

Exactly… I feel like I tasted it and know it’s going to be delicious, but I’m saving it for a rainy day.

Thanks for the votes, looks like FFXVI wins. I guess I’ll remind myself of what’s going on with the Active Time Lore system (ATL system) and post if I find any other Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat parallels.

Edit

Oh no did I kill Vivi???

Voting spoiler: Dang, being the 8th person to vote and picking the same game is a kind of feel.

toysoffire · January 5, 2025, 4:02am

I experienced ~87.5% of that same feel.

yeso · January 5, 2025, 4:21am

those are all good games except idk about the PS3 one never played it

Hunter · January 5, 2025, 7:26am

Oomfie, I’m gonna start up Nier Replicant once I finish Earthbound (I think I’m close… ish? Poo just left the party to go learn Starstorm)

So I gave that game my vote so that we could sync

Even if you don’t play Driver this time. Please still play Driver eventually, then Driver 2 while you’re at it.

Sincerely,

Wheelman is one of the 6/10 games of all time, but i liked it. got stuck at one of the taxi missions at the end, could never get the S rank

mack41 · January 5, 2025, 2:37pm

I love Stranglehold and it’s from the same Midway-action movie-game oeuvre. It’s a shame that never took off.

Figured Eve would win but that’s quite the landslide lol. Troubleshooted the MISTER last night to get it set.

The PSX driving games have been fantastic to go back to. Will def do the Drivers before Wheeling, stoked for some badass driving fun.

kyleprocrastinations · January 6, 2025, 4:45pm

I recently acquired a PS4 and these are at the top of my list. I will play both of them, but which will be first?!

Bloodborne
Final Fantasy VII Remake

kyleprocrastinations · January 7, 2025, 12:12am

Thanks everybody, this went about how expected, but hey, polls are fun! I started Bloodborne this afternoon and it’s already got my good brain gears moving.

connrrr · January 7, 2025, 12:17am
