Games that just are that deep, "bro"?

[namename11]

I saw a few comps and while I like the og SH2 better, I can't play it on my Switch like I can with SH2R, so I will be playing the remake.

Stray is amazing, +100

Is the gameplay good too? I read a bunch of reviews back in the day where people called it shallow but cute cat bait or something along those lines.

Man, lots of people here go to bat for Stray. I'm wondering now if it's legit.

Yeah, that's what I hear too. I'm expecting Uncharted levels of magnetizing to surfaces and climbing. However, I'm aware that the game shifts a bit in the second half. If I remember, I'll see what it goes for at the next Steam sale.

Yes, Silent Hill Downpour was a great game. Its not as good as the original 1-3 games but its still a fun game. I own a copy of the game for the xbox 360 but will be doing a run for it on my youtube channel at some point. Maybe for the next halloween horror game marathon I do every sept-oct. I will do some silent hill games.

I may have to bite the bullet and try to get a version of it. I don't expect Konami to bother porting it, since it didn't sell well. (Less than 1m copies sold worldwide, unfortunately.)

It starts very closed in but once the game opens up and you actually get to explore, it's a blast.

The sales on it tend to not be amazing sadly. I'm still waiting for a good sale to actually buy it (as I pirated it initially)
I'd like to go back and complete the optional objectives once I do (so that I can get the achievements)

Yeah, I heard that Downpour didn't sell well either. Nothing wrong with it however as I find it to be a solid game. My only gripe with it is that you cannot skip cutscenes. Murphy made for a pretty good protagonist.

"Pokemon: Explorers of the Sky" features:

- an antagonist that manages to trick the cast into thinking he is a major protagonist.

- a false antagonist that actually turns out to be a protagonist.

- two protagonists narrowly avoiding execution, following injuries and a surprise plot-twist.

- a protagonist that is determined to do something that will end his life as a side-effect.

- a protagonist that is nearly determined to eliminate himself in order to try to prevent bad things from happening.

- an antagonist that tries to coerce a protagonist into eliminating himself.

- a secondary protagonist that breaks down emotionally over the death of the other protagonist post-credits.

- surprise! The final boss before the credits was just the prelude; now see the other one.

- double surprise! both major antagonists were manipulated, now see the antagonist behind it all, and he explains all the plot holes.

- triple surprise! The secondary protagonist walks right over and agrees to join the antagonist, and the antagonist then tells the group to eliminate another protagonist as their "first order of business".

- another protagonist dies, along with his allies, after being separated from the other protagonist that died.

- a manipulative move by an antagonist that decieves the characters again.

- timeline split: normal and darker one. And the normal one still has the protagonist die. the other protagonist dies along with the others in the darker one.

- an antagonist gets hit with his own technique and gets amnesia; becomes a protagonist.

- this soundtrack:



(i.e. the "let me show you my dark intentions, surprise you with a plot twist, and try to eliminate you to carry out my evil plan" theme).



(i.e. the "time for the protagonist to die, and time is running out regardless for the others" theme).



(i.e. the "well, they did it; they prevented the darker timeline, but the protagonist dies anyway" theme).

So, it's a pokemon game.

Did I spoil everything? Let's see...nope!
