Been playing some Witcher 3 lately, very enjoyable stuff. The quest design is something else, just loads of variety in every sort of quest. Great to see all the characters from old games come back too, even
that old prick Thaler.

Now to wait for the inevitable film. Yes please.

I was gonna say the exact same thing. Undertale is another game going for those Yume Nikki/Space Funeral/Mother feels, and a lot of the charm relies on nostalgia being turned on end.

I don't think 13 year olds give a fuck about this game at all. It's very much for people in their 20s and 30s right now. 13 year olds play various eSports genres, survival games, sandbox games, not stuffy 16-bit tributes.

Ok, I said I'm done with this talk but apparently I'm not.
SMT games did enemy talk on entirely another level and it was great long before Undertale, Undertale doesn't compare.
Combat is simplistic, a game is simplistic. There are so many games that made character interaction great and characters are great, the list would take forever to make, OK, maybe not forever but still.
What exactly is good about Undertale? Except of so called feels, let's leave it for now, to warrant universal acclaim? Choices? VNs, many of them exceed in that also. Atmosphere? That's one thing that's hard to argue with, as it's so ephemeral, pun intended.
I mean it's still a game, if a gameplay is nothing to write home about, how it can be universally acclaimed? Unless it's a VN or something.

Well, that's not really a unlock, though it's way better than what it was before.

How's the story in the Trails games? I've been feeling the need for a good anime style JRPG with a great story.

Writing is great, character interaction is great, NPCs are great and story is nice, it would seem exactly the game you are looking for.

I just requested a refund for "Life is Strange". Have I messed up? I got to the part where the girl is locked in her room for "sexting"....but I really hate games where I aimlessly poke around trying to further the dialog and unlock one after the other "little puzzles". So far it has just been pretty boring. I guess I could rebuy, gut it out for a bit and see if it sticks.

On a more positive note, Underwell and Crypt of the Necromancer have been pretty good short play time sucks. I think Crypt will have more "staying power".

Been eyeing Sunless Sea, Divinity Original Sin, Dungeon Souls and Binding of Isaac, Rocket League. I enjoy gameplay and atmosphere more than story, ideally has both...

Just because people keep talking about the same small sample of shit games doesn't mean I hate a lot of games ;)

I like how you just called AAA games small sample of shit games. I can relate to some extent.
But I was under impression that you like only (or mostly, you do like Sanitarium, luckily) stealth games, that's very small part of all games, so it really seems that you hate almost everything at times.

If im really really liking Door Kickers, what other Swat/Police themed games are worth buying before the sale's end? Not necessarily tactical games even.

Even if its a different genre, it made me think of the good old times when i co-op'ed Swat 4 with my friends <3

Trying to decide what to use my $20 gift card my friend gave me towards. Pillars of Eternity seems like a pretty damn good choice but not sure if I want something else more.

Not exactly police themed but Frozen Synapse might be to your fancy, it seems like a decent influence on Door Kickers and other recent "plan a tactical route" style games.

There really aren't a ton of police themed games out there.

Ugh, i would kill for a new Swat or Police quest!

If you want the other side of the law, The Master Plan is sort of similar, scratches heist movie vibes rather well.

Game's ugly as butt, but a lot of fun.

There is Breach and Clear, which is I think a bit more military oriented. I didn't care for it but it does have its' fans. Felt constrained by a mobile first design, small maps and whatnot.
