Great game that is a horror shooter, but I wouldn’t call it a MilSim though. MilSims are usually games like Arma or Squad.

This is super cool! Question though, can you play through different levels each attempt or does it always start at liberty island?
How much did you pause? I felt like I just kinda let it go at full speed and paused as needed which I know put me in rough spots.
This game gave me a stress that I can’t really express in words. Something about getting so close to the end and barely hanging on. They really nailed the anxiety and pressure that comes with a situation like that.
It’s the pray emoji bro
Yeah totally. I don’t think they intentionally made decisions in that way. I just don’t think those game design concessions aged well. Thankfully we can work with them now though. You’re right though that the animations in the disc era really padded battle lengths. Jeez, just thinking of using summons in the FF series is giving me flashbacks lol.
I totally understand the limitations of the time and still love the games, but really that doesn’t take away from the fact that these games require a ton of time to complete. Newer JRPGs take this into account and attempt to address it in various ways which I very much appreciate.
Fully recommended playing emulated with a speed mode. None of the old jrpgs respect your time and I legit can’t play them without that feature anymore.
This is the best way to look at it imo
With modern (non-multiplayer) games it always seems as though there’s a clear “main” chunk of the game. I usually try to complete that bit to feel as though I “beat” the game.
Main chunks are main story, levels, or getting beyond the main obstacle. Sandbox games are a good example of something outside this sphere and with those I simply enjoy the experience and don’t sweat completion.
I find myself playing more sandbox style games as things go due to time and skill commitments which has been an interesting change from when I was younger.
Check out all the old “immersive sims” like Deus Ex, Arx Fatalis, System Shock 2, and Thief.
If you’re cool with emulators, PSX has a metric ton of JRPGs that will absolutely devour your life.
The reality is that there was/is no reddit alternative and right now we’re all in this transitory phase where we’re all looking for a new home. We’ll all just have to wait for the dust to settle. Lemmy isn’t perfect but is improving and additionally other alternatives like kbin and tildes are in the works.
To your larger point, much of what you’re feeling is the abrupt break in habits. I’ve been using the gap to develop more positives ones, and it’s been great.
Holy shit, just casually dropping that they’re working on a new Perfect Dark is crazy.
I think no, so much of what makes the Steam Deck great is SteamOS. Plus my understanding is that this things battery life isn’t very good.
That being said, still appears to be a competent competitor and I’m here for that.
GIVE ME BACK MY DAMN 3.5MM HEADPHONE JACK ON MY PHONE!!!
Which are totally badass ultimately lol
