I actually kind of like it. XD
I guess I'm just cursed to completely not get simple games and can more easily understand complex ones XP

Yeah my eyes are like adljfkd and I just don't really feel well in general. ._.'

[Lawtan]

I thought you hated complex games... .-.

Minesweeper is a tad meh - can really waste your time sometimes.

[Vincent]

Well yeah It's a complex -simple- game. XD if you get it.
Idk how to describe it. ;~; i work weird, i sorry.

It can. all it takes is one little mistake. x.x
then again, all games are time wasters. x:

[Lawtan]

True. Except perhaps games that tell a story/work like art...
Or games that allow you to meet people or sharpen your mind.

*Sort of games I go for - multiplayer, story-based, RPG, deception, puzzle...and a bit of FPS*

[Vincent]

yeah. ;~; I'm normally too dense to get things unless they're right in my face. xD

I like all kinds, so yay. XD What other kinds of things have you played besides TERA and Neverwinter? o:

(on a side note, any idea for what I should add to my chest or whatnot? I can't figure out how to improve this avi further. DX)

[Lawtan]

A necklace?
A tie?
IDK

Hmm...

TERA (first, and only - if you don't count Elder Scrolls Beta - MMORPG game)

Neverwinter Nights (Favorite Game)

Dragon Age (Is a "custom story wizard" and "multiplayer" away from being my favorite game)

Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Horror game...just starting it)

The Crooked Man (RPG Horror/Depression/Hope game)

Dawn of War (Strategy game)

Older Battlefield Series (Vietnam, BF2, and BF2142) - favorite two were 2142 (The mix of commander Strategy game, squad system, futuristic technologies that included multiplayer close quarters and flying battle fortresses, the drones that would help you shoot/spy, the cloaking device, sabatoge, FPS capture, and rather open playing field...all it needed were less bugs and destructable environments to make the game excellent) and Vietnam (Heavily moddable, was part of a group - =RockyTopRaiders= - and you can blast your favorite music out of a T57 for ragdoll shooting effects = me happy :3)

World in Conflict - best strategy game (IMO)

Age of Mythology - favorite strategy game

Ned's Nightmare - most memorable childhood scholastic game. (Other memorable one being a pirate game with sea shanties)

Town of Salem - awesome online deception game

AdventureQuest - was fun as a kid

Hmm...I've tried Crysis, Call of Duty 2, and Supreme Commander, but never got into them.

[Vincent]

I was thinking a behemian gem necklace or sorts.
I don't know how well a tie would go with this, haha. XD

Out of all those I've only played Adventure quest...
Sounds like you play alot of those technical games haha.
And tell me how Amnesia plays out for you, if you want.

So what don't you like in World of Conflict, if it's the best strategy game, but not your favorite?

[Lawtan]

Well, the setting.
I prefer science fiction, historic, mythological, or fantasy genres. World in Conflict is the best Strategy game (I mean, it is the only one I know of that allows you to setup a squad in a certain member in a building, have the building collapse/fall apart piece by piece, and have "survivors" and "victims" of the collapse.
It's story is also very strong, IMO, and for it to draw me without an ability to build a base, without being an interesting genre, and without it being roleplay at all...it is a pinnacle for its field.

[Vincent]

Sounds like it's rather well-done , then.
And this is an online game? I'm guessing. XD

My idea of strategy games are stuff like Final fantasy tactics and the like. xD

[Lawtan]

It's both online and singleplayer.

Ideal game for me:
Creative environment (or the potential for it)
Creative, immersive, or funny gameplay
Good Storyline/developed characters (or the potential for it)
Good userbase (Mod community/online community)
Strategy or puzzles or the like - non-time controlled thinking.
Not too much of an open world (Big issue with Skyrim - I was lost often on what to do, or where I was)
Quirkiness (applies heavily to Nightmare Ned)

[Vincent]

Not too much of an open world (Big issue with Skyrim - I was lost often on what to do, or where I was)

This. This was the main reason I couldn't get into Skyrim yet everyone treats it like it's the best game ever. And can't understand why I don't like it.
But when I DID try it, it was just. Too... older-ages and too expansive...
Just really eh.

But I see. My ideal game is a bit different from yours, then. xD

[Lawtan]

What is it (your ideal game)?

*I did like the skyrim dungeons, though. Honestly, if I knew I had the time to sink into it, I'd make a NWN mod for Skyrim - Aribeth de Tylmarande, Fenthik Moss, and Aarin Gend forever!*

[Vincent]

What's a NWN mod? And what does it do? xD

Uhhh. Ideal game would probably be...
Good graphics (not, like, Final fantasy 12-style. Those are too real. I like the latest Tales of- games' graphics. Anime graphics are better then real graphics for me.)
Good music
Good gameplay (always really important for rpg's)
Unique gameplay
Good customization (but not overly so)
Customizable weapons/armors
Alot alot of postgame content and secret content.
And a good colliseum/arena

I think that's about it...

[Lawtan]

Ah...
I somewhat forgot the "good customization"
And half the time, I mute game music and play my own. XD

O.O postgame content?

Cool. The only arenas I recall are the Neverwinter Nights arenas on multiplayer games.

Neverwinter Nights mod = making a game modification that incorporates the original Neverwinter Nights story, characters (possibly some abilities) into Skyrim.

Mod is short for modification. Modding communities add content to games, from quests, to characters, to weapons, to gameplay (hardest), to effects, to better graphics/appearances, to entire new worlds.

[Vincent]

Good customization is amazing, if done well~
I randomly make up stuff myself, and save it in random notes on the computer but eh. It's just for the fun of it. Also trying to figure out how to make some good customization on rpg maker, at the moment..

Ehh I don't have a good Ipod or what not, just an MP3 that's a battery eater, so I just go with the music haha.
Though games like 'Dark Cloud 1&2, Rogue Galaxy, ManaKhemia, Atelier Iris, and on a stretch, Kingdom Hearts 1/2' have some really nice tracks to listen to regardless.

Postgame content is what it's all about. Secret dungeons after/just before beating the game, a bunch of hard optional bosses, secret stores, what have you. All when the game is at the end or beaten, to add extra stuff to the game out of it's storyline. I love the challenge and over-poweredness of it all.

A good rpg arena is pretty rare, though, sadly. Not too many games even have arenas at all, sadly. ._.

Ahh. That sounds like it would be an interesting twist...
Yeah I knew what mod is, just didn't know what the letters stood for. XD

[Lawtan]

Oh...
I think you'd like the Cania and Illithid Space Station, then (from games in NWN)
Cania: you are close to max level, after going through Halaster's Undermountain (Mad labyrinth) and launching a war of rebellion in the Underdark...and now were banished by the second most powerful Demon to a land of eternal lava and ice in a play for power/freedom, filled with demons and the Knower of Names - for a payment, you can obtain the ability to command the great demon...to be your maid.

The Illithid base (and the whole section leading up to it) is traveling to Hell, Heaven, a barren post-technological world, and a wonky world...getting support so that the Illithid do not use their world destruction cannon...did I mention you cam from medieval/Rennaisance times?
