Just fired up Morrowind again. Man that game was revolutionary
If it was fun the first time, it will be fun years later. If it’s not, it was probably only getting by on the graphics wow factor.
I sorta wish this was me sometimes. I have such a huge backlog that I have been committed to dwindling it down, I like seeing my “completed games” list grow, but I have also only replayed like maybe 8 games in the last 10 years.
Do randomizers count? If so, I play though Link to the Past like 15 times a year
I had never even considered that there might be randomizers for classics… I’m going to look up this one!
I think I have more fun with Ocarina of Time randomizers than I did actually playing OoT
There’s randomizers for Super Metroid too. And I’ve even seen one that’s LttP and Super Metroid together played at games done quick lol
Ok, this is something that I’m looking forward to trying. Just gotta figure out how you’re supposed to download these.

https://sm.samus.link/ for Super Metroid
https://samus.link/ for the combined version
You will need a ROM of whichever game you want to randomize (or both in the case of the combo randomizer)
I’m pretty sure there is for Dark Souls…
I’ve seen the videos of these, although I’ve always been hesitant to mod my game.
To be safe put it in offline mode. You can always do a clean install later. I do prefer being online but if you’ve played the crap out of it already it shouldn’t matter much
I like loading randomized Pokemon games onto a flash cart and playing them on my old Gameboy Advance SP.
11/10 experience
When I found out people are adding achievements to retro games (retroachievements.org)
I’ve played a lot of Super Monkey Ball 2. Time for a bit more
I still bring up the sega shadowrun sometimes.
I’ve never played that one, but the SNES Shadowrun was a lot of fun.
Welp, I can’t allow a thread like this to exist without mentioning the original Deus Ex.
Ugh, gotta reinstall it now.
Terraria for me
I always do summoner and then near the end I think to myself that I should play melee next time. A year passes. I play a summoner. Near the end I think to myself that I should play melee next time. A year passes…
I always played melee and always thought that I should play a different class… I did ranged once and that’s it.
Wizard main here. I keep trying to build a summoner or a melee but as soon as the space gun comes out it’s all over.
Have you tried Calamity?
Yea but never really got into it
Even though I think it’s a very well made mod
Post Moonlord content is pretty good, since the base game wasn’t nowhere near as challenging.
Yeah fair point.
A mark of a great game is its replayability. I know for some that’s difficult because of the knowledge you have afterwards, but it can still be fun to relive things. On the flip side, a not so great game is the one where you never want to go through the struggle and grind again because it frankly wasn’t fun.
It really depends on the game.
Some games are challenges that many people feel as completed when they finish it. For me, that would be Portal. The storytelling through the setting was great, but the main focus was the puzzles which aren’t as fun the second time through. Portal 2 has a great story that makes it fun to replay, but that doesn’t mean Portal was a bad game because it didn’t have a story line worth replaying. Plus Portal 2 had the additional custom puzzles that made it worth playing outside of the story itself.
Being an unfun challenge is definitely the sign of a bad game., or at least a bad match for the player. I’m sure there are plenty of people who think Dark Souls/Elden Rings are bad games because of the frustration factor, some only play it once to get the satisfaction of beating it, and there are people who play through it over and over again.
I see myself in that Elden Ring part. I went 100% to prove a point, but was very bored of it for most of my playthrough. I completely understand the appeal, but the gameplay loop doesn’t click with me. Every person is different and fun works just as differently for everyone. I see my addiction to TBS games and can replay them over and over again, no matter how repetitive and have my wife literally fall asleep while playing with me.
Literally any Pikmin game
Meanwhile, I’ve installed this game four separate times and have never made it past the 3rd level.
I’m old and hard games are hard.
Me and Katana ZERO. Just trying to speedrun it. Best time I got is around 33 minutes.
Fallout 4 and the Dishonored series for me
Meanehile Stop Killing Games in EU and Canada: Rise and shine, mister Freeman. Rise and shine.
me with skyrim, but ive only beaten the main quest twice, despite having like 12 different characters (10 nords that look like me, 1 khajiit, 1 high elf that looks like me, which is also my latest character)
I’ve probably played 100 hours of Oblivion and Skyrim and am sad to say I’ve never once completed the main quests…
you should do it just once. make a new character and only do just the main quest quests 🫡 theres some gems
pro tip: choose high elf and bring thalmor robes with you to the thalmor embassy when that quest comes up, instead of sneaking around guards you can just tell them elenwen needs them and theyll leave haha
