Low hanging fruit but Mass Effect is one of the biggest quality drop offs in gaming history. 3 is good up until the trash ending, it'll give you whiplash if you aren't ready for it

19. What otherwise good game let you down with its ending?

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 7h

It depends. I generally go with the default difficulty in any game. If I like something mechanically I'll replay it on hard. If I really like something in the narrative but I'm not as engaged with the gameplay, I'll bump it down to easy. BG3 is one of the only games I bump down to easy right away

18. When you have a choice, do you play on EASY, MEDIUM, HARD, or EXTRA HARD mode?

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 7h

I want Persona style social links in basically every RPG. Any game with a supporting cast really. Let me hang out with the squad

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

17. What game mechanic would you take from one game and put into another?

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 8h

Outer Wilds. If you haven't had that game spoiled, go play it. Unraveling the mystery of what's going on in there is like nothing else I've ever experienced

16. What games should everyone play at least once in their lives?

The theme of Metal Gear Solid 2 was accused of being plagiarized from Russian composer Sviridov so what was originally on disc isn't used anymore in subsequent rereleases

15. What piece of obscure gaming trivia do you know?

1

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 8h

Nintendo. They've had their ups and downs but overall they've got great variety and good consistency

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

14. You can only play one developer's games for the rest of your life. Which dev are you picking?

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 16h

The Raid, make the Sifu studio make it

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

13. Which movie would make a great game?

1

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 16h

There's a lot someone could do in Night City. Make Keanu do his John Wick bit but as Johnny Silverhand

12. Which game would make a great movie?

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

If you don't think a sword that revs is fucking awesome we can't be friends. It's also mechanically satisfying to figure out in gameplay

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

One of my friends had Animal Crossing on the GameCube and all of us had our own house and we would take a little time any time we were hanging out, which was almost every day, to play a little bit. Very chill, very relaxing

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

10. What's a good memory you have from playing with friends?

1

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

Once my save of Final Fantasy X got overwritten on my memory card so I started it over and no life it for three days until I finished it. If I wasn't at school or doing homework, I was playing Final Fantasy

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

9. What's the longest gaming session you've had?

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

Cloud in Smash
Zangief in Street Fighter
Draghunov in Tekken
Smoke or Reptile in Mortal Kombat

8. CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER: What's the game, and who's your main?

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

I had the former in the past and I'm living the latter in the present and I vastly prefer the former

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

7. Would you rather have:
-All the free time but not many games to play, or
-All the games but not enough free time to play them?

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

I've never rage quit a game in my life. I've gotten angry and frustrated, but I've never thrown a controller and I've beaten most games I've played

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

6. What makes you wanna rage quit?

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

It's gotta be Pokemon. I'd have a Crogunk, a Hawlucha, and a Haunter and I'd be set, just me and the lads

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

5. What video game world would you want to live in?

1

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

There's too much that just came out to play. I have Silent Hill f, Hades 2, and Ghost of Yotei downloaded and I'm just waiting to finish either Silksong or Expedition 33 to get into those

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

4. What upcoming games are you most looking forward to?

2

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

I replayed Metal Gear Solid 1 and the story was simultaneously better and worse than I remember. Gameplay still solid. I still really loved it

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

3. What's the most recent game you finished? How was it?

2

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

Anything from the Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog games. Probably the springs or the spin dash sound

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

2. What gaming sound effect will you always remember?

2

Ravedigger Robin Graves @papapoison.bsky.social · 17h

I just finished Outer Wilds and unraveling the mystery of that game is a really magical experience that I'm glad remained unspoiled for as long as it did

Viewtiful O. @viewtifulo.com · 3d

1. What game do you wish you could re-experience for the first time?

I just got an advertisement for something I looked at on another computer with only my work credentials logged on my personal Instagram seconds after reading about it and I think I'm going to go get a large magnet, wipe all my devices, and go into the woods

Drive across Nevada at night and you'll understand why desert folks keep seeing aliens
