I just started Disco Elysium. It’s definitely unusual.

Did you use save states or rewind?

Wish I could play it again for the first time.

In the 90s I beat it several times on the megadrive (genesis) with no cheating. This celebration edition had unlimited lives. Not saying what I did was impressive, but I had fun playing through the game. Will do the other Sonics that are there as well (2, 3 and cd).

No judgement here. I find several classic games to be nearly unplayable with save states and rewind.

Huh? Why would save states make a game unplayable? I love that feature.

without*!

I haven't played much DD, I just know the mechanics are similar to BB. DD's art style is one of the best I've ever seen, though. I should give it a shot.

You'd be wise to avoid BB if you're worried about time sink. It's too damn good.

They say you shouldn't get attached to your bros because they're likely to die or become permanently maimed. I had a brawler who lost his nose in battle, effectively ruining his stamina. I gave him a war banner so that he could still contribute without getting into the thick of it. Then my archer suffered a permanently broken elbow, rendering him completely useless. Another frontliner was struck down by a vampire and, whilst surviving the ordeal, is now permanently traumatized -- meaning he will break and flee the moment something doesn't go our way. I have another guy who suffered fucking brain damage.

It might be time to disband and start over. This game is amazing.

I only played it for 30 minutes a few years back, so restarted The Outer Worlds. Game is a lot of fun.

Agreed. It's short, but great writing and characters.

I don't lose many characters in DD anymore (mainly because I run when my characters get too stressed out) but i still occasionally run into a boss or something that wrecks my party. It's getting hard to complete long missions though. You can remove negative traits from characters, but it's expensive and not usually worth the money. Most are minor enough that you can deal with. Or you can just fire them. But I get too attached to my teams.

I just started a fresh fallout 4 playthrough. I've never actually beaten the game, so that's my goal.

I'm intrigued by DD and BB, though. I really enjoyed the fragile team aspect of XCOM 2.

i've never played a fallout game. Should I try one? If so, which one?

I'd say either Fallout 3 or Fallout 4. I know New Vegas has a rabid following, but I think there's so much more to do in the other games. In NV, you spend a lot of time walking through the desert, even in the late game.

If you can stand playing a PS3-era game, I'd start with 3. If you want something with some more polish, start with 4.

If you're more into Isometric RPGs you could also check out the Wasteland games. I've only played 3 but it was great.

I've never actually played FO 1 or 2. They are on Gamepass, but I don't have a PC. Wasteland is on console Gamepass, so that's on my to-play list.

Tree is a bit of a hard line graphics guy so FO4 is the obvious choice. 15 years ago I would've recommended FO2, but it's essentially butchered by modern screen resolutions. Maybe you can mod it?

Yeah graphics are pretty important, but FPS and gameplay fluidity are more important.

Yeah, I'd definitely go with FO4 then. It's not my fav all things considered, but I bet it looks great on current gen.

I don't think the DLC for FO4 except for Far Harbor was any good--you can probably pick up the base game for like $5.

tree, another settlement needs our help, I'll mark it on your map.
