Weekly /r/Games Discussion - Suggestion request free-for-all

Posted: 27 Dec 2017 01:08 PM PST

/r/Games usually removes suggestion requests that are either too general (eg "Which PS3 games are the best?") or too specific/personal (eg "Should I buy Game A or Game B?"), so this thread is the place to post any suggestion requests like those, or any other ones that you think wouldn't normally be worth starting a new post about.

If you want to post requests like this during the rest of the week, please post to other subreddits like /r/gamingsuggestions, /r/ShouldIBuyThisGame, or /r/AskGames instead.

Please also consider sorting the comments in this thread by "new" so that the newest comments are at the top, since those are most likely to still need answers.

Which are some seriously underrated games?

Posted: 27 Dec 2017 08:38 PM PST

I'd like other fellow gamers to use this thread to shortly introduce games they think are seriously underrated (Edit: also underappreciated) and never received the credit they deserve. That way, maybe some of you might find a hidden gem.

If possible, say something about the following points, and of course, keep it spoiler-free:

  • Name of the game

  • Available for which platform

  • Genre

  • Synopsis

  • Why is this game good/great?

  • Why is it underrated/underappreciated?

  • You might like this game if you are a fan of insert well known game here

Here's my example:

  • Name: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

  • Platform: Nintendo DS, iOS

  • Genre: Adventure, Puzzle

  • Synopsis: Recently demised protagonist Sissel might not remember his past, but it doesn't take long for him to discover the new abilities he gained as spirit: to reverse time up to 4 minutes before another person's death and to manipulate inanimate objects, preferably in a way that changes that person's fate and prevents their death. Just in time, as he is about to witness the assassination of a red-haired girl before his very own eyes. Sissel now has 2 goals: To prevent the girl's death and to solve the mystery surrounding his own death.

  • Why it rocks: Directed by Ace Attorney mastermind Shu Takumi, the story is one hell of a ride and among the best I've ever seen in a video game. The amount of plot twists is mind-boggling (level: Death Note), and yet there are no plot holes or logical inconsistencies. The gameplay is truly unique and it's just so compelling to find out how to manipulate objects in just the right way and sequence to alter fate itself. The presentation is endearing to say the least, and especially for the time of release, the graphics were outstanding for the DS. There haven't been many instances where 2D polygonal figures moved so smoothly, and the slightly comical artstyle provides a great contrast to the rather mature themes this game tackles. Lastly, the soundtrack is outstanding. Ace Attorney fans will feel right at home, as Ghost Trick provides a wide range of great music, from the catchy title theme to the 'logic and trick' equivalent to highly memorable character songs.

  • Why it is underrated: Despite receiving very positive ratings across the board, Ghost Trick was released at the end of the life cycle of the DS. Sissel might be able to prevent the deaths of people, but he couldn't prevent the death of his home console. Hence, all eyes were on the new shiny 3DS while Ghost Trick was left in the dust. Furthermore, the promotion team did a very bad job. I don't remember any trailers or ads besides the one from E3, and even back then, it didn't convince me to buy the game right away. Which is a shame because I only finished the game a short while ago and it feels like I've missed out on something amazing for years.

  • You might like this game if you like: The Ace Attorney series, The World Ends With You, Professor Layton, 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

Also, if Ghost Trick sounds interesting to you, just get a copy and DON'T look it up on the internet. The one thing that is everywhere and will definitely ruin this game is spoilers, because not knowing the story is crucial to the enjoyment of the game.

What are your gaming highlights of 2017?

Posted: 27 Dec 2017 07:54 AM PST

Happy Holidays, r/games. As we all know, 2017 has been a fantastic year for gaming. I truly believe some of the games released this year will go down as some of the greatest of all time.

With that being said, what are your personal highlights of the year? Surprises? Disappointments?

My highlight is kind of a surprise as well. Persona 5 (have you heard of it?). I had always heard about the series, and I love JRPG games. So when I heard the long awaited P5 was coming out, I decided to give it a shot. Little did I know, I was about to play one of my favorite games of all time. I'm sure you've all heard enough about the game so I'll stop now, but those were 100+ hours that were definitely not lost.

Another highlight for me was Hollow Knight. I had heard of this game on Reddit for a long time. I finally picked it up as something to play while traveling for Thanksgiving. Wow. Everything about that game is amazing. The gameplay, characters, soundtrack, difficulty. It really feels like everything hits just the right mark. You know a game is great when you're sad it's over, and Team Cherry was able to give me that experience. Highly recommend.

Disappointment-wise, I'll have to point the finger at Mass Effect: Andromeda. I love the original trilogy. So many great memories. Bromance with Garrus, storming the Collector base, our favorite scientist Salarian's last words. I could go on and on. So as you can imagine, I was stoked for Andromeda. I actually took a vacation day at work to play all day. And while I enjoyed myself for a bit, I found the urge to play continue to dwindle. I still have not finished the game. If I'm being honest, I don't know if I ever will.

Underrepresented class archetypes in games

Posted: 27 Dec 2017 02:21 PM PST

I got kinda inspired by the warrior class post. I had this in mind for a while, some -imo- classic rpg class archetypes and some archetypes with great potential are crucially missing in most games.

On top of my head, i can list the classic Paladin and Shapeshifter archetypes.

When i say paladin i mean the mighty holy warrior that is a shield to the others, maybe a healer except of course when they detect evil. I can only count so many games that lets you become one.

  • WoW with the paladin class
  • Divinity Original Sin series with customizable classes
  • Neverwinter Nights i guess
  • Maybe Overwatch because Reinheardt is kind of a paladin?

The other one is the shapeshifter, this is a really cool archetype with a lot of possibilities but it's criminally underrepresented. The games that include it which i can list on top of my head are:

  • WoW again with the druid class
  • And again, Neverwinter Nights with druids if i am not mistaken
  • An MMO called Allods Online with the, IIRC, pagan class

Of course these are the games i can remember from the top of my head, there is bound to be more. The thing is i love these archetypes and i did search for games that include them and didn't get many results.

My theory with the paladin is that it doesn't really suit the most dominant RPG type out there, singleplayer single-character RPGs, as they fill more of a support / tank role. But this doesn't apply to shapeshifters.

Why do you think this is the case? Can you think of an archetype you love but feel like they are not as present as they could be in games?

What's your earliest gaming memory?

Posted: 27 Dec 2017 03:35 PM PST

I was talking to my dad the other day at Christmas (family got me a Switch, we always buy each other good/ put effort into our presents) and we were talking about how I've always enjoyed games as I've been growing up and he was very curious about how the Switch worked and the technology behind it.

Anyway, we got on the topic of really really old games and I told my earliest memory based on a gaming experience was Hugo's House of Horrors. I was obsessed with monsters and the like when I was young, and I loved that game even though it was super hard.

If you don't know, it was a game on a floppy disk where you would explore a mansion full of horrors using keyboard and words to do stuff (not a mouse, it was keyboard only). So for example I remember the beginning of the game you had to get the key from under the mat, and then type in 'lift up mat' or 'look under mat', and then 'pick up key', etc.

Anyway I don't want to keep rambling but it was a really nice moment between me and my dad and considering I'm 29 now, I've realised I've been playing games for such a long time, and even now I can't leave my Switch alone. I just love it.

So what is your earliest gaming memory? Doesn't have to be a super old game or anything, you're allowed to be young. Just wanted to hear everyone else's similar experiences.
