Patient Gamers

The first time you ever play Portal 2 and get to the part where Wheatley is going to kill you was one of my favorite gags in the franchise.

Cyberpunk had some really strong characters/acting/writing. I'm finding it hard to get excited by other games lately because they just don't measure up the same.

What's there not to like? Noodles? Check! Synthsirloin? Check!

Who’s this? Why do you miss them?

Such a choom.

Undertale for sure. (I'm a long time gamer, and I consider this in my top 5 games now)

It has such a slow start, and meh graphics going into it. It took me 3 separate years trying to get into it, but once I got past the first 2 hours, man did the humour, characters and music blow me away.

If you're worried you won't get into it:

• The graphics start out rough to make the better graphics later on really stand out
• The slow start is actually them setting things up a whole bunch of things that pay off later, stick with it. (Also since the game is only 7 hours and there are multiple endings, you will replay it to get the other endings and notice just how much content is hidden at the start that you didn't understand the first time playing it).

I'm so glad I came back and stuck with it.

I was just trying to clear something out of my library and ended up with the most powerful gaming attachment I've had in over a decade.

Can definitely understand there. It has a very fun vibe through how much love and attention went into developing the silly characters..

I played Undertale last week for the first time, and WOW, so many emotions! I was definitely not expecting that, even after finishing the game for the first time.

I'm not crying, you're crying!

It's been over a decade since that scene and I still see it in my head. I can still hear his voice saying that line. What a character.

Bloodwing and Roland, too. My best friend was a Mordecai main in BL1, so that scene fucked him up when we first played.

LiS, LiS: Before the Storm and LiS 2 just hit me differently. I'm not really the target group but somehow it got to me on an emotional level like no other game.

Seconded for Red Dead Redemption 2.

I miss Arthur Morgan like I miss a passed relative. Amazing character writing.

I remember the first time I completed RimWorld. Kept all three OG colonists alive. Two of them got married. The husband was an old farmer, had dementia, bad back, and was eventually bedridden for a long time. His wife was a doctor and she'd visit the hospital everyday to check up on him. The third colonist, Oneesan, became a Countess and was so full of herself that she never worked. She spent her entire day meditating in her throne room.

Also shoutout to Tracker, a recruited waster, who did some of the craziest shit like single handedly stopping a siege with a sniper rifle, and breaking up a fight between us, mechanoids, and pirates with a rocket launcher.

Can definitely relate to a few of these, namely Phoenix Wright and Danganronpa. While they're cartoony (particularly the latter) the interactions between characters makes it very easy to attach to them

Moorio was pretty funny. JC3 story sucks but mario is amazing.

Absolutely wonderful game that was criminally underrated.

There's a copy of it on archive with the Norwegian audio (since it's no longer available to get anywhere). Uploaded by yours truly.
