This is how you honor the sixth house and the tribe unmourned.

Kinda wish op injected a prompt to nuke the bot owner’s machine instead.

Other commenter got it. 200 hours is just JUST to get through the main story that unlocks the other stuff. The “other stuff” is like 95% of the content and the main story is just the barrier to entry.

Honestly can’t comprehend why anyone would make alts aside from access to additional retainers for free and maybe playing across data centers, but playing the main story is a fucking GRAND EPIC ADVENTURE that takes about 200 goddamn hours. You will literally never run out of things to do on one character in ff14. Ever.

Have you cleaned out your drain?

It’s decent. Exploring and collecting different things and upgrading gear is kinda nifty. Late game stuff like settlements and fleets are time gated and annoying. Planetary vehicles confused the hell out of me. Building a vehicle pad and summoning it is much more effort than just using the literal spaceship I just parked. Combat feels… Bad honestly. There’s a ton of weapon attachments but only like 2 feel viable but maybe that’s just me.

I remember space travel feeling pretty good. It’s not bullshit like starfield (where you load screen instead of actually taking off or landing) and not complex like elite dangerous (where entry has to be planned to land near your target), but a nice arcade-y feel with sick visuals.

If you can pick it up for 20 or 30 bucks I’d say it’s worth if you’re looking for a moderately chill game. There’s a ton to discover but it gets samey after a while.

I’m not gonna look up the picture but just pretend I posted the picture of makarov with the caption “remember no pre-orders”

The bachelor is basically vault 69. Amazon is late to the party.

When I am supreme overlord, artists will get free food and housing. But like, it’s gonna suck really bad because tortured artists make the best art.

The saints row series is pretty good. It was kind of a GTA knockoff but was much sillier and let you actually keep and upgrade/paint cars. It really lets you make the game yours. In… Number 3 or 4 the player gets movement abilities that make using a car actually slower so that really killed the vibe, but the ridiculousness was higher than ever so it kind of balanced. I’d recommend playing them in order or at least watching YouTube videos because the story is sort of linear.

Someone else said morrowind which really is the ultimate “do whatever you want” game. You’re basically never locked out of anything by not doing the main quest, and nearly every npc is killable, even essential ones (though the game will tell you if you do this so you can reload a save). There’s no vehicles really so I don’t know if that’s the vibe you’re going for, but it really is a blast if you can accept the painfully outdated graphics and mediocre combat system.

Valheim is a survival crafter exploration game that can be surprisingly cozy, and sailing around is fun. Also not the vibe I think you’re looking for but I love it so I shill it when I can.

Cyberpunk is actually a damn decent game now, and the world has SO MUCH crammed into it you can just wander and do whatever activity you run into for ages without getting bored. Even the smallest side story has lore that illustrates a tiny piece of night city and I find that really cool.

I think saints row probably best matches what you’re looking for without being a sequel to a game you already mentioned. Cyberpunk too, probably.

I remember I was playing vs a friend, and I was hosting. The assault rifle was default on mine, but I knew my friend has his set to shoot rockets. He got the drop on me once so I sprayed the ground in front of him, then killed him when he lagged because of the dozens of explosions on his end.

The hex editor was a blast. I made the pistol shoot 100 bullets at once.

I don’t blame you at all. It’s styled after the old final fantasy games, meaning very fiddly with a lot of different abilities, and with the added twist of having to dodge stuff fairly precisely which involves a lot of learning. There is a “story” difficulty which makes the game much less punishing, but I still didn’t feel like playing it.

I did watch my girlfriend play though, and soon I was the one telling her to play so I could watch because the story and soundtrack are that fucking amazing. Just watch a playthrough of at least all the major fights and cutscenes and you’ll understand.

I love natural immunity. That’s why I jump start it by introducing a weakened or dead version of the virus to my immune system, so I’m protected before I’m ever actually exposed.

In morrowind, you would gain athletics experience for swimming, even if you weren’t moving. So an easy way to powerlevel was to jump into a canal in balmora, wrap a rubber band around your controller stick, and walk away for a few hours whole your character endlessly swam into a wall leveling up.

I know there were also several broken spell combinations, but my favorite was using a custom fortify jump 100 for 3 seconds and then a fortify jump 200 for 1 second and leaping across the map (because fast travel was transit style between fixed points).

Oh and summons disappear when they die, but if you looted one the same instant you killed it, you could get its gear. So you could create a cheap summon golden saint spell for a few seconds, kill and loot it and repeat for unlimited ebony and glass shields and weapons.

In skyrim, there are enchantments that enhance alchemy, and potions that enhance enchanting, so by alternating between the two, you could create gear with RIDICULOUS enchantments. Like the numbers on them would be in the hundreds of thousands.

Now introducing face ID tech that will immediately brick the computer if a woman attempts to play a driving game.

Hmm, I’m not convinced. Do it in a deep voice while you draw boxes in ms paint and maybe I’ll believe you.

They filed a fuck load of patents. This is one of them.

Translation: mounts that can walk and fly. Which already exist in God knows how many games.

If Nintendo can patent MOUNTS in the year of our lord 2025, that lemming can patent logic gates.

Heh. Out of curiosity how many nfts did you buy?
