  I have good memories of Gris, but it is a game about grief. It was kind of janky but I was in the right mood for it I guess, having lost someone earlier. I completely agree that it is not for everyone. I enjoyed it but I certainly did not have fun (what a weird thing to say about a game!).

  Same here. I did it the hard way with a modchip but these days it’s all software. It lived as a media player for a long time. I eventually replaced it with a PC running Windows Media Center, that was nowhere near as good…

  Same here, this exact conversation happened.

  In every meeting where feedback is requested since then, there is a permanent note that says “please no questions about RTO”.

  Now that’s something I didn’t think of: Prey in VR. 🤔

  I’ll have to give that a go!

  Such an amazing game! Loved every minute. My wife and I still reference it to this day (random mimic jokes).

  Truly saddened that the studio responsible for it was closed, it clearly was one of the good ones.

  I quickly gave up on the first. I really enjoyed the second one though, and also that some of the choices you make carry over in the 3rd one.

  If I had one complaint about Witcher 3, it would be the stupid crafting system, even 200 hours in I am missing bits and pieces… I could not stand Gwent at the time and actively avoided it, but some people love it.

  Oof, I can smell this picture. 🤢 Good thing you caught it before it burned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game of the day - Return of the Obra Dinner - did you enjoy it?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was the same for me, eventually I uncovered too many scenes at once so I was constantly going over the same scenes without progressing, there were too many possibilities and even guessing failed. Perhaps I should just start over.

  I was in a similar boat (heh!) with Outer Wilds, eventually I stopped progressing and gave up, the repetition without discovery wasn’t fun anymore.

  It just makes me feel like I am too stupid for these games? And that’s no fun.

  I was being a bit facetious, thanks for the corrections and insight. Cheers!

  They became a poster child for why you should never “start over from scratch” even if your current codebase is awful. Because when you do that your competitors keep going, then they have years on your now stale product. Netscape lost all on their own…
