They have 100% turned FO76 around; it is night and day to the state it was in at release.
It is of course still multiplayer/online, so has the ‘grindy’ elements associated with that, but even played as a single player game it is a great addition to the series. Better than Starfield at present IMO.
Have you tried Outward? It’s not the world’s prettiest game, and it is a bit clunky, but I loved it.
It definitely sits somewhere in the Morrowind-Soulslike-Zelda-ish genre you’re after.
I think this video showcases an interesting aspect of gaming that I never really thought about before. In their case, they play more games for a shorter amount of time vs spending a large portion of their time in few games....
I’ve put it down and picked it back up 2 or 3 times; looking forward to starting Necrom tomorrow, but once that’s done I’ll it it down again I think.
I think it’s generally an amazing game, but I don’t do much of the multiplayer content, so each time I’m away for 1.5 to 2 years to let content build up and get myself out of the grind.
So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)...
So many golden moments mentioned on here… Morrowind, BioShock, shadow of the colossus. Amazing.
A recent one for me was Tunic - those who have played it will know there is a moment about halfway through where your entire understanding of the game is flipped on its head. Left me awestruck.
Yeah, I left and tried to go back… but couldn’t bring myself to grind out the same strikes from 3 years ago (apparently some great ones were released and sunset in my time away! 🙄)
D1 had some of my favourite gaming moments ever, sad the sequel didn’t live up to it.
Oh well; guardians make their own fate.
Leaving the sewers… and almost immediately getting murdered by a khajiit with a giant hammer.
Same for me; I’d never even heard of Morrowind or played anything like it before. It was my first x360 game and it really made me believe the ‘next gen’ hype.
The ‘outsider’ / white saviour storyline, switching allegiances in the nonsensical civil war… the betrayal at end game… amazing.
Weird how the more recent games are all sold on edgy, crazy stories but #2 did it all better.
Plus you got to set everything on fire.
MP3 player was a life changer. I went from a huge CD players not being able to fit in my pocket to a tiny bean that connects to pc with hundreds of songs, and i was blow away!
There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would....

Is there a computer game, or a specific moment, a fight etc that you wish you could do fresh with no prior memory of it?

Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon."
