So, I think there should be a website like "Does The Dog Die?" for video games. And it would be called "Are There Explosive Barrels?"

The categories would be "No", "Yes", and "Yes, in multiple elements".

I remember some Ninja Turtles game on like the Gamecube or something where combat pretty much relied on exploding barrels.

This is a really cool idea

Endless legends is an unblanaced cim 5 style game that is better than civ 5 and loving owns

devs said they won't balance it so everything is a bit crazy, but it some how works

It has neat factions like guys who must kill things to get more food since they don't get farming, dragon people, or fall out cosplayers.

I'm gonna buy this when I get back I think

No it honestly wasn't a troll. I've actually played a reasonable amount of RPGs, but I've probably missed out on a lot of them. Western or Eastern are ok, any consoles except the new console Gen, PC is actually preferred. Sure, any length really is fine but I was wanting to take a week vacation or something and just waste it playing RPGs. I've got holiday time I have to use or I lose it.

I've beaten Dark Souls and I had some enjoyment, but I don't get why people think its that great. Most of the challenge came from all the game mechanics/items/etc made to be obtuse. There are definitely some good things about the game, but I've never really understood why people think its great.

I guess the only real reason I can see that it is treated as great is because its one of the few modern games that doesn't really hold you hand. I can see an argument made for that, but as far as the game itself goes, eh.

real answer? because its basically super metroid the RPG.

edit: clarification: solid systems which rely on the player to figure them out with a story that is inferred/discovered rather than told directly and a layer of mystery to exploring and finding stuff. you can also take many different routes and beat everything at level 1 giving it replay value in different self set challenges etc.

This actually makes perfect sense

meaningful gameplay choices = good

meaningful story choices = bad, cause it usually sucks away development time and railroads you to a samey conclusion with minor deviations cause it's impossible to make a game like that any other way unless you make it super generic like a bethesda game
