For 90s kids, there's no need for explanation. For others, well, pokemon was a phenomenon. It was everywhere, on TV, in magazines, toys, stickers. You could trade pokemon at the school excursion on the bus.
You felt alive in this world, pokemon gen 1-2 were the pinnacle of pokemon for me. And in gen2, finishing the game, and lo and behold, there's a whole other region (kanto) waiting for you to explore it. The night cycle in the game blew my mind in ways that I have been chasing ever since.
I know it will never be reached again, but the memory will remain as powerful as it was that evening of the early 00s. What is your greatest gaming high, that you know will never be topped again, and that you have been chasing ever since?
I have a few from childhood, but the gaming high I am chasing now is whatever Outer wilds was. A beautiful story told through exploration and discovery. I just want to go back and experience for the first time again.
Did you beat the echoes of the eye DLC? It's fucking incredible and easily on par with the base game if not better
I did. Loved it. Echoes of the eye is a really good addition to the based game and honestly other than the base game, the only game I have very been choked up at.
d00d. I keep trying to play it. The world resets and I'm like wtf is going on? Something is not clicking for me. Boy do I suck at piloting too.
We all suck at piloting lol. I have crashed into the sun, planets, etc over and over again. You get better at it with time though.
Best thing I did when playing that game was to stop trying to figure it out, and just start letting my curiosity drive me. Things intrigued me, and that drove me to go try and figure it out. Eventually the pieces start to come together. When I felt stuck or confused, I just went somewhere else and poked around for a bit elsewhere.
You're out there collecting info maaaan. Information is the thing that unlocks new areas.
