My nigger. I even played Singularity (shit) and that new Heroes game (good god it's shit) because they involve some kind of time-stopping mechanic.

That said, the timestop in Dishonored and Dishonored 2 is fun as fuck. Occasionally I'll load one of them up, slap on a trainer, and just infinite timestop through the game like a goddamn temporal god.

This post alone has me itching to run D2 again.

Combinable/stackable magical skills, especially if you can play multiplayer and cast spells into the same spot to combine them. The first time I accidentally did that in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles multiplayer I nearly came.

LostMagic was far from perfect, but it sure as fuck deserved a real sequel. Some refining, and it could have become a perfect game.

This, it might as well be a walking simulator, if you get spotted or fuck up you'll just reload the save/level. The only variation that might come into it is if there's tools to help you like in the Thief games.

Top this off with shitty AI and the fact no game seems to balance AI's ability to see you well and this shit is only fun to autists, they're probably the same people who find masturbating while hidden in public arousing.

It's an awful genre. Styx is the only good stealth game I've ever played. You can add Dishonored to that if you think it counts since it technically is a ""stealth"" game but it's only fun if you play it as a brawler instead.

I was dogmatic back then. Whenever I saw gaming videos, many people down in the comments were praising how great Half Life and how great Valve was. That's how I stuck to thinking that Valve games are life. Now I've come to playing games made by other publishers, and it's nice to play something different.

Ultimate Spider-Man did a really good job letting you play as the villain character with totally different mechanics yet just as enjoyable as playing the MC without the story. Simply running around killing innocent bystanders for once without any clear goal other than to rack up as many points as possible on a timer. which you can boost by eating people

I loved playing that game and despite the disgusting console graphics it was fun.

Shadow of war isn't that bad really, ignoring the microtransactions.

Considering I pirated it and didn't have access to that shit anyway it might as well not have been there. It reworked the combat to where it was actually difficult, rather extremely so if you were underleveled, which was the main flaw of the original game.

basic destruction doesnt interest me. but destroying buildings and having platforms and rooms tip and collapse really excites me. also being able to sneak into a building and plant C4 charges on main structural points, then retreat and destroy it from a distance, killing most of the enemies in there and gunning down the remaining scurrying rats from a vantage point.

why there isnt a massive modding community for red faction guerilla is beyond me. but they could have rehashed that title with that engine and just give me more to destroy and i'd buy them each at launch. maybe even preorder
