i also voted for friends of ringo ishikawa. has a great atmosphere with lots of little details that add to the personality of its world. ringo read the russian classics between hunkering sessions with bros and smoking cigs on the dock, improved himself and believed in a path to a better life, if only for a moment before the weight of the world closed back in on him...

Heh I really could've thrown some points at MPQ, for old time's sake.

it's by the obsidian guys iirc their stuff is generally high quality even tho the reviews seemed a bit middling
― Mordy, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 18:05 (four years ago) link
they did the superior new vegas
probably the writing is good at the v least
i took a sacred oath to never again play a game with millions of dialogue trees that don't really let me actually choose anything. i understand why these games are the way they are now, but i'm crossing my fingers for some sort of technological breakthrough that makes it feel more meaningful
i did like vegas, though!

i literally played it for 2-3 hours before realizing it wasn't the game my friend recommended to me (he had said READ NOTHING JUST PLAY IT so i didn't notice it was wrong... i had it on game pass tho at least)
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 18:14 (four years ago) link
that's an interesting idea, though. the outer worlds, but you have to start at the beginning every 2 to 3 hours

If I hadn’t failed to vote I would have thrown a ton of points at “Outer Worlds” an absolute joy to play, legitimately very very funny, visually stunning, and (I’m sure people complained about this) not excessively long.

hey this game is great. off-beat sci-fi premise - roguelike w/ "permadeath" where subsequent convicts continue the scavenging for critical parts, ammo, food, fuel, etc fun AND funny i just wish bigger?

steam says i played 15 hours that sounds about right, probably a little shorter i did some of the optional post-game quests but it really is v fun and worth a play

Antimatter dimensions is an idle game, yes. Not a lot of clicking though. The mobile version released last year made a lot of changes, including making the "idle game" (having the app closed) stronger.
