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

You gotta go from controlling one dude directly to controlling a bunch of dudes. Right down to what direction to face after every action.

Hard to go wrong

If I can be knowingly controversial for a moment: Final Fantasy VI struggles somewhat to live up to the effusive praise heaped upon it by Super Nintendo kids of a certain age, so my vote goes to some form of Tactics Ogre instead

I’ll give the poll more time to shake out, but my disappointment that Otogirisou didn’t win tells me I should definitely just play that first lol. It’s like two hours long

KennyL · February 3, 2025, 7:37am

Well… you could spend a couple of hours going through Otogirisou once but…

(This probably will convince you to play it even more lol)

I’m on my 3rd run and probably will move on after.

Wow yeah I knew there were multiple endings but I had no idea it branched like that. Maybe two hours was a bit modest lol

Now that I’ve beaten FF13, I want to change things up before I go back into a big RPG. I have been enjoying reading all this talk of Metroidvanias lately, what would be a good one to check out next:

Axiom Verge
Timespinner
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Pseudoregalia
Metroid: Prime

If you do psuedoregalia I will play it alongside you—really loved the first 20 minutes or so I played and have been meaning to dive back in

captain · February 6, 2025, 5:27pm

Timespinner is good too but I voted with my GUTS

Bonsai · February 6, 2025, 5:31pm

I’m ready to put aside our differences and join in on this as well…

MoH · February 6, 2025, 5:40pm

We may not have “the numbers” on our side. But as far as I can tell we’re the only two here putting our money where our mouth is.

Tradegood · February 6, 2025, 5:47pm

That’s true there is nothing in the rulebook that says you have to do what the poll says. The original post (aka the legally binding construct of this thread) just says you have to let other people decide for you.

Tradegood · February 7, 2025, 1:08am

Looks like Pseudoregalia has it! Game on @MoH and @Bonsai

MoH · February 7, 2025, 1:11am

Didn’t realize I already had 0.9 hours on record

Bbtone · February 7, 2025, 1:20am

Good little game. My partner has been obsessed with it since playing it last year cuz he can’t find anything else like it. Poor guy

freakscene · February 7, 2025, 8:39am

I’ve been playing some FEIv and boy are those maps big

Thisiscontrol · February 13, 2025, 1:18am

The Last Story is a video game

connrrr · February 13, 2025, 1:05pm

I didn’t vote for it but Pandora’s Tower should be higher

Thisiscontrol · February 13, 2025, 4:42pm

Looks like The Last Story wins! I’m happy to finally try it out. Thanks everyone!
