Outer Wilds.

But I can't. It's a game you can only really play once. I keep trying to get the wife to play, so I can live it again through someone else's eyes.

[–] SolarBoy@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

I'm thinking to wait 15 years and then replay it. Maybe I'll have forgotten enough by then.

(I didn't play echoes yet so I still have that going for me)

Counterstrike with my friends at the cafe 20 years ago

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Outer Wilds, like it was the first time all over again 🥺

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Ah yeah, what a cool game. The DLC was quite different, but I enjoyed that too.

I wish there was an Outer Wilds 2 but you probably couldn't do anything too similar, so I guess what I'm saying is I wish the devs made another game of some sort.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

Morrowind! And I will.

Invisible War. The controversial sequel to Deus Ex. The PC port ran like shit on the best PCs, but I have Macs. Xbox might be the best way to play it but it’s still gonna suck. The game itself was good but the tech was complete trash. Literal downgrade in every way from the first one. And yet it was still a gem.

I reply the Starcraft campaigns at least once a year. Love those games

Still want to know why clicking the Terran Academy building plays and agonized scream

Halo 3. Peak online console, it was all downhill from there.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Halo 3 multiplayer is why to me modern multiplayer always feels like shit.

I'm glad i experienced it but it hurts knowing I physically can't anymore. MCC is missing a lot of what made the online experience what it was sadly, even though it's very good for a lot of the other aspects. It just does not carry the same feeling at all, I don't even really get THAT much of a nostalgia hit from it either.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Saints Row 1.

Only one in the series that was strictly a console exclusive. It never left the 360. 😔

[–] Fl1ppyR34@ani.social 4 points 5 months ago

If you have an Xbox one or series whatever both sr1 and sr2 are backwards compatible. Locked to 30fps cause of how the emulator used deals with vsync though. Annoying, cause you could disable the vsync on 360 and have the game run at a unstable AF 30-50fps, but it is what it is.

Or run it on a PC via Xenia. Needed a bit of tinkering to get it running back when I tried it a few years ago, but even then the game ran pretty damn well, and didn't have any major issues running at 60fps.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Return of the Obra Dinn.

But I can't.

Because I already know the names and causes of death. 😭

[–] SolarBoy@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

I'm horrible with names, so I could probably play it through again like new, haha

Trackmania, the improve grind never stops :D

Portal 2 Co-op with someone that never played it could be good. I played it with a lot of friends already, but it still felt like a different experience with each of them.

As of a game I'm currently replaying, Last Command B-Side on Nightmare difficulty. Cleared hardcore difficulty previously, but Nightmare mode doesn't let you play safe.

For a game I cannot replay, Overwatch 1. Overwatch 2 doesn't give the same vibes as OW1, everything feels more clunky to the point I quit it. I didn't really like OW1 that much to begin with, had like 200 hours tops on it; but really felt its absence after OW2.

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale was also another game I really enjoyed that didn't really took off after launch. I still play it at times, but it's entirely bot lobbies and they suck at the game. I miss needing to try hard to win a round on it.

[–] confuser@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'd like to replay satisfactory but that is like choosing to waste another 300 hours of life lol

Thst game is so incredibly well made

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (4 children)

I'm on my 6th attempt to finish the game. I'm further than I've ever been, I just unlocked nuclear power and drones last night but went to bed before I started messing with either.

ETA: If memory wiping is on the table, I'm gonna have to roll a d3 between Titanfall 2, Nier: Automata, and 1000xRESIST

If my memory isn't getting wiped, then give me an opportunity to play Advance Wars 2 again. I know I can just emulate it, but it isn't the same without the no backlight, AA powered Gameboy Advance

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Get yourself a no backlight AA powered Gameboy advance then

[–] Typewar@infosec.pub 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I think SOMA. The first time I played it, I had no clue it was a horror game. It has such great atmosphere. A balance between mystery, adventure and horror, all while keeping it calm and slow.

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The non botch version of Oni. The game looked so freaking good! But Microsoft buying out Bungie for Halo made them rush to finish the game.

Diablo 2.

I know there is a remake out, I've seen it.

I might do it, but I've fully switched to Linux in the mean time and I don't want to put another 10 years of my life and tens of thousands of hours into it.

At least it would be good value for the money, I guess.

I would like to replay RDR, RDR 2, GTSA, GTA IV. So practically Rockstar Games.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

There was this game by Maxis called Sim Town. It was my first experience with sim games as a kid.

[–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Ever play Sim Tower or Sim Copter? Never really hear about them but I remember them being so fun

Andor's Trail

RPG with an eclectic, humourous storyline.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair

Its an online multi-player Castlevania. So much fun.

Disco Elysium. I haven't played the Final Cut version, but I've kept consuming DE related media and fanart. I know why I've been postponing it - lack of free time, and hesitation to re-thread your trip toward something special, and maybe realize it's a bit more trivialized to you now, or just doesn't have the same impact, and you've wasted a good 30-40 hours for getting the same lessons and experiences you already had.

Yet, I'll gladly waste 30-40 hours thinking over it. I'm weird.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Any decision-driven game needs to be replayed at least once exploring other choices. After doing a playthrough as Harry, I had to do one as Raphael.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 5 months ago

You likely mean single player but I would love the cryptic mmos champions online and star trek online to be made in the offline/online playability you see now with things like no mans sky. So they can have events and be online but you don't have to worry about losing your game when the servers shutdown. Oh and it would just be great to have them updated in modern engines.

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Sonic Rush for me. I remember that game being hella fun, but I could never get friends to race me after a point and I don't have a DS anymore.

Also, shout out to f-zero gx, that I'm pretty sure I still own but I don't have a tv.

[–] strlcpy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 months ago

To relive anew, Ico on the PS2. I could boot it up right now but it wouldn't be like that first playthrough, my first foray outside of PC and Nintendo.

[–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 3 points 5 months ago

A lot of RPGs that I just don't have the patience for anymore. Final Fantasy 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, Tactics. Vagrant Story. Breath of Fire. Legend of the Dragoon.

[–] InvisibleShoe@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

An updated version of Clive Barkers Undying

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Basically all those super long RPGs I don't have time for.

I

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Control.

So good the first time

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'd love to go back and play fable 1 and 2, but I can only find fable anniversary and it looks so much uglier than it originally did.

[–] kalistia@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Now that I've seen what HBO has done with their terrible Last of Us 2, I want to cleanse my mind by replaying this masterful game!
