My net has gone to shit recently so I can't cope with MP gaming anymore, what are some singleplayer games you enjoy?
Probably Q3A/QL and MP Warband, obviously can't play any of those atm cause of shitty net.What are your favorite games?
most SMT games (including persona, except for 3) games are really good.
are u serious? Persona 3 is the GOAT
P3 is the worst of the 5 games, and I even compare that to the ORIGINAL P1 where they fucked everything up during localization.
The biggest flaw is the fact that your party is not user controlled. I suppose I understand what the developers were going for, but it makes the combat unbearable IMO. I can see why they want the party members to feel like their own individual people, outside of the users influence, but the fact of the matter is that it makes the game way too difficult and tedious for what it is. It removes all element of strategy and planning from the combat because the AI is not reliable. I know that they 'fixed' this in later releases, but the game was not re-balanced for the 'fix', leaving no one happy.
Another HUGE flaw is the reaper. Again, I understand the intention was to prevent over-leveling and grinding for items and XP. But instead, I find that it puts an artificial clock on each level of Tartarus, changing the objective from 'exploring' to 'finding the way up as fast as possible'.
The scheduling for the game is way too strict. You can make this gripe with P4 and P5 as well, but P3 is still the worst. You will not max out all links/stats on the first go without looking up a guide and min/maxing and overall basically breaking the game. This wasn't true in P4 and P5, where it still took planning, but by no means was a ridiculous as P3.
Lastly, the cast is really blah. This is slightly up to taste, but in P4 and P5, the cast fit the style of the game. In P4, the theme was "comfiness" and "small town", and the characters (notably Chie and Yukiko) fit the script. In P5, the theme was "spunk" and "mischievous", and again, the characters (notably Ryuji, An, and Futaba) fit the mold. P3 is a jumbled mess. The theme I would say is "despair" and "death", but nobody shows that to me. Maybe Shinjiro, but even then he was a good guy at heart. I would maybe also consider Junpei a decent candidate. The girls were incredibly annoying and undesirable.
To add, the music in P4 and P5 also fit way better than in P3, thematically speaking.
As a whole, I like the middle-ground between hardcore traditional JRPG and trash weeb RPG that persona provides. P3 laid decent groundwork for the future personas, and took the first huge steps in making it completely different from the mainline SMT games. Thankfully P4 and P5 learned from P3 and became better games.

The witch's house
yes, but they are not mystery but horror puzzle solving games. Ib probably the better one.I still don't know how to play yume Nikki
Are the other games you listed similar?
Not Fallout 76.
Under the skin, the story of a strange girl who cold approaches men in her van in Scotland. There's "a thing" about this girl though. (tbh my signature is a heavy spoiler, sorry)what movie is that in your signature? looks like a cool sci-fi

It's a bit horror, sci fi and "arthouse film". I like this kind of movie.
Just watched it, really nice looking, i like the still shots of nature and objects moving in that still frame. Story and pacing reminded me of Twin peaks the return.
I like conspiracy media or theories so i kept thinking this was about sex traffickers and their mk ultra sex slave victim getting away...
this makes sense to
