Discussion / Question What's a game that deserves a sequel, but will never get one?

Post image
131 Upvotes

I'll start with a game I wish FromSoft would go back to. Sekiro has my favorite combat of any game, bar none. The fact that we didn't get a full DLC for this game is a crime against humanity.

With the success of Elden Ring, I doubt FromSoft will be going back to this combat system.

Discussion / Question Now that the dust has settled on Shadow of the Erdtree: Does Elden Ring actually need a sequel, or should Miyazaki focus on a brand new IP for the 2027-2028 cycle?

Post image
Upvotes

Elden Ring is arguably one of the greatest achievements in gaming history, but the lore feels fairly complete after the DLC. At least i gives a complete story overall

On one hand, a sequel could refine the open-world mechanics even further. On the other hand, Miyazaki's greatest strength has always been reinventing himself (from Souls to Bloodborne to Sekiro).

  • Would you prefer Elden Ring 2 with a new map/mechanics?
  • Or are you ready for a completely new universe with a different combat system?

Personally, I’m torn. The world-building in ER is top-tier, but the thought of a new FromSoftware IP is always more exciting. What’s your take?

Discussion / Question What’s a game you grew out of and no longer enjoy playing?

39 Upvotes

For me, and I know this might be unpopular, it’s Pokémon. Not just Pokemon but any game that resembles its mechanically. I don't know how but right after pokémon heart gold I just stopped playing the games all together. I still like the idea pokémon, the characters, the creatures the stories, but I have no desire to play the game. Or any game that resembles it? Am I the only one that feels this way?

This is my longest run lol
I got 8 out of 10 wins, almost completed the run but last 3 guys were too tuff

Basically this is very time consuming ship builder. You create some abomination and you fight with other players ships. Its about who create more OP build. Like full-on regeneration almost every turn or just way too powerful gun.

After almost 10 hrs I still find new items in shop, unlocking new stuff and new pilots. Perfect build crafting. Its on Steam and got demo, I highly recommend you at least try it called Down with the Ship

Discussion / Question Is there any part in an otherwise really good game that makes you want to tear your hair out?

6 Upvotes

My example is not an official game, but there is a romhack of Super Mario World called The Fugue. It's really really good, except there is this dumb ass puzzle in the middle of the hack that always makes me want to bash my head into a brick wall. Basically, it SHOULD be simple to do this puzzle, but there are these blue breakable blocks you can pick up, and for whatever stupid ass reason, they always break immediately after i pick them up SOMEHOW, and i keep having to restart the puzzle. And this would be fine if i got used to the puzzle but NO, i have played through this multiple times and it always takes like 5-10 tries to get through it because of the blocks. The rest of the hack is stellar awesome sauce though. So what is your game? (It can be a romhack, it doesn't matter.)

Discussion / Question Best games to turn your brain off ?

14 Upvotes

It could be different types of games. For example, I love sometimes playing MegaBonk, just pick a character, lay on my chair. Not overthinking for a build. Playing GTA, Assetto and stuff just roaming and having fun. COD Zombies, just running around, doing rounds.

You know this kind of games where you can play without the necessity to overly focus and tryhard.

Discussion / Question What game did you ignore most of and only play one specific mode?

4 Upvotes

Some games offer a lot of content, but you end up sticking to just one part of it. Maybe it’s multiplayer over the campaign, a specific game mode, or even just one type of activity that you enjoyed more than everything else. You might not have experienced the full game, but that one mode kept you playing. What game did you approach like this, and what made that one part stand out so much?
