The last one i fully cared about was Syndicate. Origins was just… bland to me, i refused to touch Odyssey because i don’t really care for ancient Greece aesthetic or mythos which is what it looked to be catering too, Valhalla was interesting but way too long and wasn’t really an AC game (at least as i wanted), and Shadows i liked the gameplay and opening/ending but the middle game essentially shit the bed because it was too ungodly long.

I liked 4’s Modern Section. But I hate that nothing came of it. It sucks they stopped the modern day stuff mostly with Unity. I really liked it

The Parkour is kind of jarring. Maybe I’m just not used to it because I’m more used to the Unity parkour but it feels slower in a way.

The vibe is really interesting. I like the later games vibes too, so i can’t say it’s a “this is better” situation for me. Just different in a “just as good” way

I liked it! There’s some moments between the high points that are just okay for me. But I still really had fun. And the gameplay is fun too. A bit jank at times but nowhere close to unplayable

Mobile games are the bane of my existence for purely that reason. (That and I don’t keep games in my phone because I know I’ll get distracted).

Some Social Media is the same way, which drives me crazy. It’s like they expect me to get on regularly

I remember getting a notification from one that basically said “hey. You haven’t looked at anything today” and I immediately went to settings and turned off notifications.

Ironically I found my way over here to Lemmy and get on daily for my screenshots. So… I guess I ended up doing that anyways lmao

I’ll save this for next time I play. It’ll definitely be helpful

Fair enough lol. I was on the verge of passing out while writing that so maybe not the most accurate choice of words. I very much had only the beginning of the game on my mind

That’s basically the system I end up setting up. I think my main issue is I always run out of space for the CO2. I’ll move it downwards next time and try that. Maybe I’ll have better luck that way

Ah. That’s probably where I’m going wrong with my oxygen lmao. I try to over design it with a contraption that takes the CO2 from the coal farm, pumps it into an air tight room, then processes that into oxygen again and pumps that throughout my building. I’ll definitely try your suggestion next time. Maybe I’ll get further

Vibing is honestly a big part of it for me. I can spend so long walking around and just taking in the experience. Legit one of my favorite things to do is open up the map, pick a place I haven’t been, and walk there seeing what interesting things I can find

The absurd writing is honestly part of why I love it. I haven’t touched many quests but the game feels so wholly unserious that I love it

It’s sure Myst, I actually went and tracked it down on my old iMac G3’s Hard Drive. I remember specifically the wooden library room too. You’re right about the static pictures though. Except for the remake version. I think that’s fully 3D

I’ll always resolve to 100% a game, and then like right after the final boss I go “well… it won’t hurt to start another game while I do the side content”. I never do the side content.

I’ve been planning some stuff for it, nothing grand, but mainly i wrote a bash script that collects the games i featured. I thought making a leaderboard of some sort for the games would be a fun way to celebrate. I still have to actually sort some of the results, as some games back at the start didn’t have any text for my script to parse, but it’s mostly just me combining the results together now. I actually had to nerf Halo and split it into separate games because it featured so many times lmao

Probably shouldnt share this online, but i’m a College student who lives with parents (and the place i live gives me free college because of how little income my household has, so i don’t need to worry about work). I took summer break too so even more free time, and plus im in a field adjacent to Computer Science and have been practicing that stuff for years before college, so i cruise through most my classes. so basically: I got pretty lucky
