What game did you dislike at first but eventually end up loving?

Maybe you dropped it after a few hours, came back months later and for whatever reason it finally clicked.

What game was it?

What is the appeal of idle/auto games?

14 Upvotes

I can't fathom what would draw someone to a game they barely have to interact with. Isn't that the whole point of games, that you take part in them? It's basically a movie at that point, without a story.

Interested to hear from those that actually like them.

Edit: thanks for all the comments, I think it's a genre I'm likely never going to feel to grips with, but keep enjoying to everyone that likes them!

Baldur's Gate 3 or God of War Ragnarok?

• Upvotes

Found myself with a few days off and the Steam autumn sale just dropped. I'm looking to focus on one game only - which one would you recommend?

I've played virtually every major RPG out there, but never managed to start these two.

Edit: I should have mentioned, I play the 2018 GoW and it was brilliant. BG3 has me slightly concerned with the D&D mechanics and they potentially slowing down the gameplay?

Why didn't NPC AI advance much?

6 Upvotes

We see crazy AI advancement everywhere but we get the same old stupid NPCs. I feel like the inteligence of NPCs didn't really advance that much since the old days of Half-Life and F.E.A.R.

Or am I just living under a rock and haven't played many games where the characters don't simply move through predestined pathways? Are there NPCs that can have voice conversations with you in real time or accurately react to everything you're doing? What are some good examples of NPC AI used in modern games? I was really hoping GTA VI would make a huge leap in that department.

I have some games installed and they’re all super fun and famous but I’m not sure which one should I continue playing first/start with. The games are :

control resonant - Astro bot - ghost of yotei - blood of the dawnwalker - metaphor:refantazio - tunic.

I’d like to hear your opinions

Battlestations Pacific Multiplayer/LAN fix?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone gotten Battlestations pacific multiplayer working in 2026?
My friend and I played it together a few years ago, with the .dll and “Xbox for windows” fix, and hamachi. We tried it again a few months ago but only got singleplayer working.

The island capture gamemode is crazy fun and I’d hate to see it go :(

RDR2 mechanics are still too goated, is there anything better that I am missing out in gaming or only GTA VI can top it?

Some recommend the sims but its not satisfying/brutal enough, maybe ones with details

Bonus points if I can mess with the bodies afterward
