games

play TMS#FE Encore

I don't have Encore

Gameplay >>> story >>> Everything else

i can forgive everything if the game is fun to play

personally I like a good gameplay and a good story and a good ost

like all at once

Hey guys, its me, the guy who really cares about video game music

that's so awesome

I agree more with Dialga than Spooky's ordering though

Gameplay being not near the top for games makes no sense unless you only play VNs

Gameplay should always be at the top, you can experience everything else in another medium

OST is nice, i appreciate a good OST, but i will just accept a "ok" or forgettable ost

the importance of story varies so wildly from game to game, i cant see it ever being the primary important thing in a general ranking of "gameplay > story > ost > etc"

Gameplay and OST are the two that always matter, story and characters depend on the game

^

despite caring about the story the most, I play a shitload of simple puzzle games and such, and there are games that obviously have no in-built story like Dwarf Fortress that I think are excellent

and honestly, "story" is a bad term to use

it's everything that encompasses the narrative, characters, worldbuilding, writing, etc. which I think is the bedrock of any form of media

that matters the most to me, and the presentation matters the most after that

Most people have very low standards for video game stories anyway

Good soundtrack has a lot of staying power

I can forgive a game with okay story, art, etc if it has a banger ost and good gameplay

I cannot forgive the opposite as easily

Games should of course avoid having any category as bad, I think its more meaninful to discuss games that range from passable to great for each

Those margins are more interesting

Pika, I have my game list done btw

I gave up writing half way through

when I realized how many I had

lol

Yeah you were always going to mog me

its moggings all the way down

I'm sure I'm missing some on this list

and a lot of the playtimes are just complete guesses

Dude 400 hours into a 1 star game is peak

order within each tier is close to play order, Balatro I just stuck on the end because I didn't really know where it belonged

thats hilarious

I have major issues with Dominions 6

I know, I've read you discussing it

lol

yeah

1* is mostly for stuff that makes me mad

if its anything like dominions 5

its probably seriously flawed

Toushin Gent Demo (2024) Lennod Jump Game (2023) Deepest Sword (2021) Stardew Valley (2016) Lethal Company (2023) Content Warning (2024) Animal Well (2024) Infinity Nikki (2024) Marvel Rivals (2024)

There is our game overlap

since I did not include games I did not complete or were not completable in my list

I did do a run of jump game, because I was trying to beat it before lamp could be the final levels

got close

man can't believe you completed marvel rivals
