games to go back to some day

saw this goin round. kingbancho's original idea

pretty much hated it for its lame and vacuous otaku-ness (may be rich coming from me but im different bro) but i feel like i have to at least try one more time to finish it before i can put it to rest. 2016/17 me wasnt the same as now. also i fully admit this being the only game i rated, with a half star, isnt funny anymore and is kinda bratty of me.
i got filtered at a certain point and wish to be unfiltered, because i liked this game alot up to that point
probably needs a replay so i can feel certain that i love it, its just hard to go back to interactive fiction lately
made me not like halo anymore, not even bc its /bad/ but bc it stopped being representative of what i wanted in it. maybe should try the campaign again bc some of the vehicle segments were cool?
sometimes want to go back to this just to feel like i can properly have context for how much better riven is. might even appreciate both more for it
i think its mostly good, but ive been pretty negative towards it and could give it another go to see how i feel now. should try replays for sh1 (which i like the least) and sh4 (which i liked alot but want to be sure) too but this one especially could use it
some of the coolest and most stirring and most surprising sequences in a game from 2019 (saying alot for the best recent year in games, 2017 mad overrated) with the most disappointing drop into forced didacticism i felt nothing for. im so conflicted on this game but i barely lean towards like and i badly want to cement that one day
less going back to than me having seen a playthrough and knowing what happens in the story, but it has one of the few rpg battle systems that made me think "oh this actually looks fun" so i should actually try to play it!
some day ill get over the expositionary codec stuff and actually like a kojima game. ill start here if i havent got around to death stranding before it
there is a voice in my head that says "someday ill play treasure games and i will STILL think of this as their best" but a voice of reason.....says i should try again before deciding on that officially
hard to ignore the "hail gay satan" vibes that gives me flashbacks to a tumblr era i dont ever wanna go back to and the ending is a copout, but i remember liking some of the characterization in this a good deal and its conceit around being a third wheel. i might try heaven will be mine if those parts of it still strikes me ok enough
eh (same w virtue's last reward)
just figure out the giants tomb shit already idiot!!! (also not sure if i should stick w the freeware version w msx references i wont get or try the worse looking + sounding official release)
its nice, gave up on it too fast
im looking to get into rpgs that arent earthbound and this is just one possible candidate. tried yrs ago n i didnt get past the starting village lol
saving this for when im so mad and need to play nice climby jumpy game so i wont be so mad
know some of what happens but i should stick with it to the end
some of the wind taken out of the sails bc of allegations against dybowski but id still like to come back to bachelor/changeling routes (and maybe try second playthru of patho 2)...........................eventually..........................
hate zelda and the prologue is so fucking long but i still have a copy so idk!!! maybe i can force myself sometime
if you think "haha funny game when you high :)" let me tell you that i did that and its a nightmare. ill come back to it sober
pretty much has been haunting me for most of my life until it clicks. last time i left it was after reading some not very sexy romance novel in balmora
this game hit hard years ago but after playing earthbound i realized i preferred that game's whole "aura" way more to mother 3's plot focus, to the point that i can't relate to how i felt back then. should try it again bc i know it has good things about it still, but the big roadblock is chapter 7 being not fun

what part of Rain World filtered you?

3 years ago

it was basically a part deep in shaded citadel with the water tentacles, where i found a path leading to another area i cant remember the name of. i was extremely lucky that i managed to get as far as i did in that area but i ran out of time before getting the chance to save--i think i stupidly missed a save room on the way too, bc i was too hungry. then died like 30 times beating my head against the wall trying to just have enough food AND get to the save room on the way, thinking "well if i get sick of this i have that perk that will let me teleport somewhere else". and thats when i found out each death actually REMOVES a bit of progress towards perks, and was basically too discouraged by that to keep going, or to backtrack out of the citadel.

i feel like i'll eventually be able to go back to it, i don't hold it too much against the game

ah, was it the memory cripts? Thats a big stretch that's almost impossible to go through if you dont have a full cycle dedicated to it.
