[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 months ago (2 children) Pokémon is starting to get there I think. Mass Effect is still on the ropes for me. Andromeda was okay. I’m personally a bit over all the open world games. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 child) Pokopia is great, though it was made by the dragon quest builders team, not game freak. Otherwise, can't argue permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago (1 child) I liked what I played of Pokopia, and I loved Pokemon Legends Arceus. Other than those, the last time I really loved a Pokemon game was likely Black 2. I’ve been enjoying some of the quality ROMhacks that have come out in recent years like Lazarus, Odyssey, Emerald Seaglass, and Scorched Silver. I also started casually playing Platinum Kaizo (a difficulty hack), but haven’t played it much at all. But I’ve had a better time in Odyssey and Lazarus than I have had in a mainline game in a long time. I’m sure some of it comes from the graphics being inspired by the GSC (Lazarus) or using RSE graphics (Odyssey) and those are the most nostalgic ones for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago Infinite fusion is fantastic, even if it didn't have the merge gimmick.

Everyone knows Shepard but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of Andromeda’s protagonist or any of the team members for that matter. Absolutely forgettable in almost every way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 3 months ago (2 children) Ryder Peebee Drack Vetra Liam Jaal I think that’s the squad. Then SAM, the AI. Additionally I remember the Kett being the antagonist, and it was something generic like Archon? As the title. That might not be the right title — if it is, it’s because Genshin Impact solidified that term for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago I just booted up the game. I put 96 hours into it. Don’t remember anything but the vague total recall style plot and that the guns/powers are mass effect. Imma play through it again. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 1 point 3 months ago I honestly thought you were having a stroke until the second line. That’s how little they resonated. permalink fedilink source parent [–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago SAM and their relationship with Ryder was interesting. ...That's about it, sadly. Mechanically and visually, the game was awesome though. permalink fedilink source parent
