Crush the Earth World, Create a New Society
@treefroggy Now thereās an ideaā¦ā¦
@treefroggy I voted for RDR II, not because itās my favourite game on your list (far from it), but because I loved your reasoning.
In fact I love the reasons you gave for each of these games. Too often, we talk about games in concrete terms, like theyāre fixed objects. But the reasons for playing a game in any given moment are what make the experience what it is.
I was planning to write about this elsewhere as it applies to reading fiction, but you just reminded me that it applies to games just as strongly. Love it.
@whatsarobot thank you. I spent all evening playing RDRII, started right after the poll posted. Thatās why I included my own vote for RDRII. The reason is I just want to relax and kinda turn my brain off, and Iām in the flow of RDRII after struggling at the beginning. Iām in chapter 3 now.
Everyone elseās votes were for my pain. Especially mega man legends ii. I have to do that in the morning and have a lot of coffee. But the votes did motivate me to consider wrapping it up asap.
Thanks everyone for voting, was the poll with the most interesting results so far :o)
About to take a cross country flight for a long weekend vacation. I like to finish games before starting new ones but have broken that guiding principle with putting Dark Souls Remastered aside for the time being. I will be airborne and have relied on a guide while playing but have downloaded a GameFAQs guide to my phone just in case. Leaning toward something short +DS. Without further ado:
@FaulteredBeast Are we talking 1993 DOOM or 2016 DOOM?
@Mnemogenic 1993 original recipe DOOM
@FaulteredBeast I voted for DOOM before I knew which version, but the OG comes highly recommended. Make sure to download some of the add-on levels before your flight. Sigil and Sigil II at least.
@tomjonjon should clarify itās not OG OG its Coke 0 Switch version
@FaulteredBeast that is also what Iām talking about. You can download add-ons through the game. Itās pretty cool. Although you do need to set up a Bethesda account.
@tomjonjon wooooooooow thatās cool. Iāll load up for the return flight
just gonna note Doom (2016) is also very good. Played on the switch and enjoyed it a bit more that Doom Eternal raytracing all over my xbox
I voted for yokuās island express because it feels like a travel game. very chill, can absorb your full attention but doesnāt have to.
played a bunch of Doom, a bit of Yoku, a taste of Dark Souls to get the itch back. Excellent airplane mix to complement 1Q84.
ok

btw I already was expecting DQV as the result, why wouldn't I
but interesting addition is that I did this post on instagram and so far have 3 votes for DQVII and nothing else.
BTW I also need to finish the postgame content of DQVIII and I feel like that is comming somewhere down the line.
I am probably gonna play DQV but I gotta solder it lol.
@sabertoothalex go go ackman
Iāve been making my way through Metroid Prime Remastered. Itās beautiful but I might be at the point where I āgetā it and can move on. Iām in the Phazon Mines. Made it to the second save point after multiple frustrating losses of progress. Itās a little frustrating to spend my brief morning play sesh backtracking. I donāt know if Iāll get a lot of juice out of finishing the game. On the other hand, I'll feel like a fool if I never get to use the grappling hook, which has been teasing me in every level since the first.
Follow up thread:
@BluntForceMama the original FFVII is well worth playing in and of itself yeah
@treefroggy VI is the true connesuerās choice!
