[QUOTE="The Real Jdbye, post: 7927290, member: 248256"] I do love a good classic scrolling shmup, they do still exist to some degree though, for example the Darius series is still living on, I bought Dariusburst on Steam just last year. What I miss the most is classic JRPGs. They are still being made to some degree, but I wish I could go back to the time when Final Fantasy games were still good. No RPGs in recent years have been as good as Final Fantasy used to be. The last truly epic JRPG I played was Blue Dragon on 360 and it's exactly what I want from Squeenix but they refuse to make a proper large-scale home console quality classic JRPG, all we get is stuff like Bravely Default, which is fine, but it's nowhere near as good. Octopath Traveller looks great though. Haven't been this excited for a new JRPG in a long time. I doubt it's going to make me forget about Final Fantasy but at least it's something. I would say collectathon platformers but they seem to have returned. Yooka-Laylee was a decent attempt and a decent game but I have to say I think I like A Hat in Time better. I'm surprised it took this long for them to return. Besides Nintendo no one else has made them since around the N64, and even Nintendo didn't make any after the Wii until now with Mario Odyssey. If you even count Super Mario Galaxy as a collectathon platformer that is. I suppose technically it is, but it's certainly not in the style we associate with collectathon platformers, which are normally not linear. It seemed like a huge untapped market, in fact I'm not even sure why they died out in the first place. [MERGED]auto[/MERGED] You may like Eldritch, it's a game based on H.P. Lovecraft lore, in the game ammo is very limited and dodging is indeed a viable alternative to fighting in the vast majority of cases. It's a sort of roguelike game, which I'm not a huge fan of myself, but it does look like a lot of fun despite that. It has a very Minecrafty aesthetic, but don't let that fool you, it's very different from Minecraft. [/QUOTE]

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
