@apewins: I honestly recommend playing Metroid Zero Mission instead of the NES original, and Another Metroid 2 Remake (or Samus Returns if you want to keep it legit) for 2, if you ever get the desire to play through the series again. Playing the NES/Gameboy games is great as an academic excercise but those games have been heavily improved by later teams. Sometimes remakes and rematers miss a bit of what made the original games special, but in these cases they actively improve upon those aspects.

Played the 6 Pixel Remaster not long ago, the remastered soundtrack is honestly divine - though I'm a sucker for opera soundtracks.

I intend to play the 2 and 4 Pixel Remasters at some point. Maybe 3 again now that World of Darkness isn't quite the slog it used to be.

I can definitely relate to getting really far in FF as a kid only to stop close to the end. I only recently started actually finishing FF games. Sometimes it's worth it, not always - I maintain FF13 just isn't worth the time investment.

@av_gamer: Lmao this cracked me up, thank you.

Honourable exception to my previous posts in the form of Chrono Trigger, which I honestly feel like replaying again for the fifth time.

Minions are fine within the Despicable Me context, but taken out of that I find them wholly exhausting. You do you, they're not for me.

I think i only answered half the question, that's probably due to my reading comprehension today.

I don't really go back to story-based games if I've finished them once already, especially not without new content being available. That said, I'm dipping my toes back into Divinity Original Sin 2 since I found a nice layout for it on the Steam deck. This is a first for me in a long time.

I return to roguelikes as the mood takes me. I hadn't played Monolith in 18 months until a couple weeks ago. I've also been known to boot up good couch multiplayer games that haven't seen regular play for years if the right person comes to visit.

@sombre: As an adult who chooses to play 80+ hour games with relative frequency, I would agree, I don't feel very real either.

@Thread: Hmm... not often. Fewer than half of the games I drop end up getting put back on rotation. If they do, it'll usually be after significant time has passed and my tastes/skills have changed in the meantime. I dropped Xcom after a couple hours because I wasn't enjoying its flavour of strategy, but after enjoying Valkryia Chronicles 4 I've reinstalled it for another shot.

On the other hand, Yakuza Kiwami 2 didn't grab me the way 0 and Kiwami did, and I just haven't rebuilt the drive to try again.

This made me laugh, I was expecting some serious conflict of morals or something. Just trade them in or something, it's a pretty funny joke.

Took a few interesting logical leaps to get there, but I got #349 on the first guess.

Also I love how it gives a nice long spiel about the game, and then ends with "Purchase at the following retailers" and it's just blank. Could be my browser.

@chamurai: Same!
