I wonder if this counts as baiting for the states where it’s illegal

10·23 days agoTainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is like Skyrim but with better combat and dar King Arthur themed.
Potion Craft is a game where you run an alchemist shop, entirely stylized to look like medieval paintings.
Buddy Simulator 1984 is a game about a digital companion that likes you too much.
I could give more, but I never see anyone recommend those, and you have a lot of recommendations in this thread already.

3·3 months agoI ended up settling on spells in my left hand, sword in my right, dodging like a maniac.
Right up until the last 3 hours where I respec’d into exclusively two-handed sword + heavy armor because
Spoiler for the very end
the game kinda pushes you into it with the King Arthur gear. Imo respec’ing is too easy, and too necessary. The stat requirements for that armor were so specific and high, and I guessed correctly that I wouldn’t need any of my social stats for the rest of the game. Fortunately, I really enjoyed the pure sword combat, so I still had fun, but my character went from light armor spell-sword to plate armor greatsword wielder for just the final dungeon. Kinda odd when you think about it in the RP context.

That’s because human perception exists on a logarithmic scale! It’s called the Weber-Fechner law, and it was one of the first studied psychological phenomena, before psychology as a field was even defined.
Interestingly, our sense of the “bigness” of numbers is also logarithmic. This is why there have to be explicit explanations of the massive difference between a million and a billion - our brains instinctively and erroneously think “eh, it’s like double.”

Indeed. The sources I’ve read seem to lay blame with games not usually patenting mechanics (which apparently is all patent officers look at for prior art, not other games), meaning it needs active challenging to be thrown out.
PocketPair is based in Japan, which is where the previous, more directly problematic patents have been filed mid-litigation. While there is clearly prior art for the US patent, it isn’t quite as comically broad as the Japan ones, and since Japan doesn’t seem to care about prior art, those remain the most concerning to me.
In the US, yes. In Japan, it would appear such a concept does not exist.
I found one for NieR: Automata at a used bookstore that has maps, a ton of concept art, and a short story.

You’ve both mentioned the same “Israel has a right to defend itself” quote. I’d be curious to know when/where he said that.
You’re either purposely trying to turn people against Sanders or willfully ignorant. He’s been speaking against Israel forever.
I dropped KCD 1 after ~30 hours for the same reason as you, but at least KCD has some justification - the whole point of the game is to be an ultra-realistic simulation of medieval life, a roleplaying game in the truest sense of the word.
Your character starts out not even knowing how to read, even though you, the player, obviously do to interact with the GUI. He’s the son of a blacksmith who never would have learned anything else, so he, the character, has to spend time learning basically everything, even if you, the player, already have it figured out.
You and I think that design is unfun. Clearly, though, there’s an audience for it, as KCD 2 sold something like a million copies on launch day and instantly recouped their development costs.
I thought that didn’t work?
The Outer Wilds
All due respect to the other recommendations in this thread (The Witcher 3 is in my top 3 favorite games ever), but I get the sense you’re looking for a similar vibe - that self-paced, quiet, almost lonely exploration where, though you do have a goal, the point of the game is to wander the world and discover things. While most of these recs (and most open world games in general, so it’s understandable) have a strong story focus, The Outer Wilds will give you that quiet, unguided exploration BoTW does so well.
(And I know explicitly turned down souls-likes, but Elden Ring also hits that vibe super well. If you’re really stuck for something to play, it might be worth a try with one of the magic-focused builds that significantly reduce the skill needed)
