I voted for A Short Hike, which is no joke a 90 minute game, but you could dive into LO and then squeeze that little guy out in between sessions easy.
Oh wait, are these games you've already got going?
@connrrr yeah, after looking at the polls I played a bit of A Short Hike and then I dove a little more into Lost Odyssey because I felt like it
@Nate I can see that Earthbound is winning now, so maybe Iāll play it tomorrow
@JoJoestar Oh yeah, Iām in Episode 2 and Iām already past the part that shows what makes the game so cool.
I think there are 2 possible reasons for why Iāve been struggling to āget into the gameā (by that I mean reading it with frequency).
1: Maybe itās cause itās a visual novel? I literally started āplayingā it by watching the chapters on YouTube (I now āactuallyā play it). So it ends up resembling more a TV series or a book, and when it comes to those types of media, I have a lot of struggle in keeping up unless Iām VERY engaged with the story.
2: But most likely, itās just because I feel pressured? My friends introduced the game to me, they tried to get everyone into Umineko, and they were so happy when I told them I was going to start playing it. They always ask me to stream it in our discord server whenever I can. But I donāt play it nearly as frequently as I used to, and I end up felling guilty due to it and I think that makes me not want to engage with the game.
If I were in that situation the only way I would be able to enjoy it would be to play it in secretāno streaming, no talking to anybody about it. It sounds like thereās too much riding on your responding to it in a particular way, which is just no fun. Find a way to remove guilt from the equation, thatās the pleasure-killer. You should never feel guilty in that way for playing or not-playing a video game!
@captain Thanks. I know I shouldnāt blame myself. Iāll focus more on enjoying the game and less on what people think.
I feel like playing a ps1 rpg
@Mnemogenic Koudelka rocks omega hard but itās suuuuch an autumn/halloween game. Wait for the right season! Voted for Wild Arms even though I get the impression I like that game much more than others tend to, lol
I voted Koudelka coz thatās the most Insertcredity of the lot.
Legend of Legaia is cool as hell
The people have spoken, Persona 2 it is.
I feel like a throwback RPG. These are all on my list for this year/soon. Have never played a Dragon Quest so really, start at the beginning and go thru them all or start at 11?
ā I donāt think Ys 1+2 is on the Switch? Am I forgetting some port or compilation?
ā If you play Super Mario RPG, the Switch remake is pretty a great way to experience it. Itās also pretty short for a RPG (around 12-15 hours).
ā I voted for Dragon Quest XI which is a great throwback RPG in modern clothing and is also perfectly fine as a first time DQ experience.
@Mack41 I voted for DQ1+2, but 11 is also a great way to go if you just want to check out one game before running through all of them. I just wish a little bit that I had started at the beginning for my own reasons, but maybe I wouldnāt have committed to the series if 11 hadnāt hooked me so hard? I dunno, they're all good.
@chazumaru ahhh ys youāre right itās not on switch. Wishful thinking. I do have a 3DS but have to check the port options for best route there. I have a SNES mini and started Mario RPG on it right before Covid in 2020 but never finished. I did enjoy the game on there but am trying to decide if itās worth finishing/replaying on SNES and eventually seeing the Switch remake or if itās not too essential to bother.
@kyleprocrastinations Iām kind of in the same boat there hah. I like playing things in release order so starting at 1+2 appeals to that side of me. I did play a bunch of SNES RPGs in the last year so the other side of me is thinking itād be fun to see a modern take on that style and XI seems awesome to start with. Or just split the difference and play V on DS. HMMMM too many options. Hoping to make a decision for next weekend!
The only MMO I have ever played was Dragon Quest X back when the first releases of the fan translations were coming out. I didnāt love it. Since then Iāve been thinking about how if I was to play any other MMO itād probably be Runescape. I also know myself well enough to predict Iāll either fall off hard or it will consume my life. Deciding whether or not to try it out is a weight too heavy for me to bear alone. Help me out
Alright,
@Funbil I canāt have this blood on my hands.
@Funbil for the thousandth time, maple story
