and by best I mean the most fun. The one game that does not rely on its story or production values for it to be engaging. The one that can be examined in a vacuum and will resonate as fun to those play it regardless of its faults in other areas of the game.
For me, it's Vanquish. Good lord that game is adrenaline incarnate. Zooming in and out of gunfights and slowing down time to inflict massive damage is a damn awesome time.
This delay made me realize that Microsoft can be incentivized to delay games so people can remain subscribed to Game Pass for longer. It's probably not their intent but I imagine some people purchasing a year of Game Pass in anticipation of the release of Starfield only to have to renew their subscription before its release.
Almost no mention of playing video games in this thread which is strange to me given that we are on a video game website.
Anyway, my answer is very vanilla. Financial freedom for the rest of my life so I can conveniently provide for my family while having ample time to play video games and travel to different parts of the world both local and international at least four times a year.
I have to say, there are some bangers on this thread.
Definitely Digimon World for the PS1 for me. The town-building aspect of its gameplay loop is something I wish other devs adopted. Still one-of-a-kind to this day.
I just finished The Last of Us Part 2 and although I am conflicted with some of their narrative choices, what I am not conflicted with is the banging licensed music which is used to great effect. That Ain't No Grave rendition by Crooked Still is just too smooth. So I want to ask y'all, what licensed music is used to great effect in video games and what would y'all recommend for me to listen?
