So many golden moments mentioned on here… Morrowind, BioShock, shadow of the colossus. Amazing.
A recent one for me was Tunic - those who have played it will know there is a moment about halfway through where your entire understanding of the game is flipped on its head. Left me awestruck.
Oh my god, this.
It was like magic when I first used one; a real ‘the future is now’ moment.
Have you tried Outward? It’s not the world’s prettiest game, and it is a bit clunky, but I loved it.
It definitely sits somewhere in the Morrowind-Soulslike-Zelda-ish genre you’re after.
Imagine a Bungie game where the cool baddies stay being cool baddies instead of lame allies…
S’pht, Elites, Cabal, Fallen… even the frigging Hive are relatable now.
Leaving the sewers… and almost immediately getting murdered by a khajiit with a giant hammer.
Same for me; I’d never even heard of Morrowind or played anything like it before. It was my first x360 game and it really made me believe the ‘next gen’ hype.
I thought I was the only one!
The ‘outsider’ / white saviour storyline, switching allegiances in the nonsensical civil war… the betrayal at end game… amazing.
Weird how the more recent games are all sold on edgy, crazy stories but #2 did it all better.
Plus you got to set everything on fire.
I’ve put it down and picked it back up 2 or 3 times; looking forward to starting Necrom tomorrow, but once that’s done I’ll it it down again I think.
I think it’s generally an amazing game, but I don’t do much of the multiplayer content, so each time I’m away for 1.5 to 2 years to let content build up and get myself out of the grind.
First thing that came into my head!
I did it for the first time about five years ago, having never managed it as a kid - and It felt pretty cool! 😎
Yeah, I left and tried to go back… but couldn’t bring myself to grind out the same strikes from 3 years ago (apparently some great ones were released and sunset in my time away! 🙄)
D1 had some of my favourite gaming moments ever, sad the sequel didn’t live up to it.
Oh well; guardians make their own fate.
It’s me, Enemy of God. How are you?
