I don’t play good games i play the kind of stuff you’d find donated to a library 3 days after release. The kind of games a grandparent will get their grandchildren when they ask for call of duty but instead get a copy of conflict denied ops.

I am deeply passionate about bad games, after all I’ve played Two Worlds several times and I’m yet to even buy baldurs gate 3.

I find it enjoyable to think about the elements that make these games enjoyable and unique as well as wonder what it could have turned into if given the time to develop further.

I am also capable of the inverse and would love to do some write ups on why popular and well loved games are actually shit

    Yes. These are the most interesting games, the ones where enough is there to see the vision behind it

      When do we get the off-shoots for the rest of the titles?

      And do we consider TTW its own thing, or no? I’m in camp separate. And far the fuck away from my install list.

        Dunno, it would probably be a mod by mod basis. And I consider TTW to be a part of the general whole of New Vegas modding, but not the main.

        Sure! Just gotta finish Fallout: London so I can finish my review on that first, and that’s on the backburner while I play Crosscode and probably S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 if it reviews well next month…

            Love Crosscode!

            If you’re on the fence about London, make sure to update it, 1.02 fixed a bunch of bugs (some of which blocked my progress, hence the backburner). Overall it’s good, it’s horrifyingly liberal and portrays labor movements in the most enlightened centrist manner possible but when it isn’t doing that, it’s genuinely very fun to play if you just want more Fallout and aren’t put off by modding in general being rougher around the edges.

            Still, TERF island is fun to explore, haven’t found any explicit TERFs to bash yet though.

              Noted, I bet I downloaded an older version. I’ll update when I get around to it :)

    This is a very large reason I follow Ross (the other being Freeman’s Mind). A lot of games needed more time to cook and never got the chance.

    You just described my two favorite types of game reviews. I want to know all about your obscure bargain bin titles, and would love to hear you tear apart bigger games

    Two Worlds was wild because you could enter console commands on the Xbox 360. And it was heavily recommended to do so if for no other reason to turn off the grass and improve performance. Fun game, jank as hell

    Edit: Right, the main question. Yes! Please give us these write ups!
