Elder Scrolls Online, as long as you find a good group of friends.

I also nearly have 1000 hours in MGSV Phantom Pain.

Spartan: Total Warrior from the PS2 & Gamecube was I think an underrated or missed gem.

You don’t exactly play as a lot of mythological things, but it tells a great story with action combat around a lot of really cool mythology. Some of the bosses were incredibly cool.

Saw a bunch in the store. Seems plenty available. Interesting.

Like most Ys games, they’re a trudge at first, and some graphical letdown, but they’re still great stories with great characters. I remind myself to power through the beginning each Ys game and eventually find myself loving it.

Ys X Nordics. Tons of fun.

Ys X: Nordics you cowards!!!

You still have Forza, Forza Horizon, Gran Turismo, Wreckfest, F1, WRC, Need for Speed, Assetto Corsa, iRacing, MotoGP, Monster Energy Supercross, Hot Wheels Unleashed, NASCAR, and Lego 2k Drive just to name a few that have current or recent releases and are great and fill a wide variety of needs for racing.

Even Project Cars, The Crew, and Dirt had recent solid entries in the last decade that are still good today, and some obscure Saturday night local track style racing games like World of Outlaws, SRX, and various Tony Stewart dirt racing games have been released in the last 5-10 years.

There’s also remakes like Burnout happening.

There’s tons of racing games.

I played through a prior game where the same port developer had added local co-op. It was incredibly fun to play together.

Support this. This port developer is the best and their efforts should be supported. The PC versions also look and play better, amd play well on Steam Deck. This is the best way to play these recent Ys games.

Disgusting. I have never and will never use my phone or a gaming console in the bathroom. I go to the bathroom, and then fucking leave. I’ll never understand sitting there forever.

2nd post of this in another community I’ve seen. Idiotic name. Probably just marketing their bullshit.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. You will work together with an increasing team of friends and allies to survive ridiculous circumstances.

The story is incredible, but the character building is excellent. Great fast paces action RPG with party switching, so you’ll always have 2 playing with you. The story really shows deep friendship development, especially if you ensure to do all side quests and talk to characters at various story points.

I do agree the community discussions have gone to shit. But that’s true of the entire fucking internet. People are assholes when veiled behind anonymity. That’s not a Steam issue. It’s a human issue.

I’ll stick with my Steam cloud saves and game notes and community forums and community guides and custom controller configurations and community controller configurations and overlay and workshop and screenshots and steam deck and steam link and …

Also, the very first game I ever bought on Steam was almost 15 years ago, and it was delisted and has not been available on Steam for over 10 years. Yet I can still re-download and play it right now.

Steam is not the evil corporation people pretend it is. Take your rage to Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.

Jesus hung out with fishermen. Also in this story one of their friends is a nun. Jesus is on their side.

It’s an excellent story and great action gameplay. It’s long, but persist and the story pays off incredibly.

This game actually has an incredibly good story.

Isn’t Steam literally having a turn-based sale right now?

Anyways, I think turn-based games are less fun and more tedious. Except Field Commander on PSP. That was a lot of fun.

Circlejerks.

Context doesn’t help much with Kojima.

Looks neat, but ewww, turn based. I don’t get the appeal of turn based games. They feel so tedious.
