That’s a great idea. I’m definitely going to look into doing that essential games list.

As for the recently patient games, I just made a post about that last night! It seems to be well received.

Hey, mod here. Guilty as charged, I honestly haven’t played much in months so it’s been hard to come up with good posts. I do read everyone else’s posts though, but not every day. I’ll try to comment more frequently and check in more often too.

As for the monthly games thread, that’s been the other mod, I’ve been patiently waiting for a new post for a while but haven’t seen one from him. I might take over that duty if the most recent post hits 3 months without update.

If there’s anything you’d like from this sub I’d love to hear it!

As someone currently playing through the Outer Worlds (I even made a post about it not long ago on this community), I’d highly recommend it. I’m having a lot of fun with it

Not the person you asked, but I’m in a similar boat and used mods and spent a lot of time in settlement building. The only two mods I can remember that made a big impact included the one that basically acted as a cheat terminal (since I played it originally on Xbox, but now that I’m on pc I don’t need that anymore) which allowed me to have unlimited resources, and the other being the one that expands the build able area and the build limit infinitely. I did use other mods, but I think they were mostly graphics mods that didn’t affect the actual settlement building, just the way it would look slightly. I might’ve had some mods that changed NPC behaviour within settlements but I can’t remember 100% right now. That was probably 5-6 years ago

I loved my 3DS. I mostly played Pokémon on it but played other games on it too. I never took advantage of street pass but agree it was a great concept

I’ll look into it, thanks for the info

I’ll take a look, thanks!

You know what, that’s a great answer. I think you probably hit the nail on the head

I appreciate all the help! I’ve got a few other games to finish up atm but when I find the time to delve into it I’ll send you a DM

I appreciate the help. When I decide to check them out I’ll be coming back to this comment. Thanks!

Any particular favourites in the 97-03 range?

There’s lots of late 90’s-early 2000’s answers here. You’re definitely not alone in that thought

Micro-transactions and pay-to-win are reason enough, those are some of the worst things to come to video games

That was a great read. As someone born within that timeframe I didn’t really live through it much, so I don’t have much experience with it, but I like to get a glimpse at what it was like through comments like yours!

Metal Wolf Chaos sounds hilarious in concept. Will definitely have to check it out. I also own Gothic I & II and want to play them sometime. How do they hold up? I’m not too picky on graphics, but overly janky can be unfun sometimes for the modern gamer

Awesome, thanks for that! Appreciate it

That must’ve been a great time for sure. I’m jealous I didn’t get to be a teenager through it! That would’ve been a blast

How beginner friendly is it? I’ve never played it before but free to play passion project sounds awesome

Great choices! Some classics there for sure

I still regularly play the original Doom on my PC. A couple years ago a friend and I found an RTX mod for it that we played a ton. I still play that all the time
