Videogames that you think are cool?

I've never played it myself but I remember really liking how the game looked.
I played it briefly but it controlled weird, it just didn't click with me. Watch a playthrough though, it's badass.

It'd be a great choice for a remaster, actually.

Gothic 1&2, Alien Isolation (good stealth game for the alien part, the rest of games are meh unfortunately), STALKER games (need for diversity tho, hope we could have a more diverse cast in STALKER 2)
The controllers are from argentina (they steal your shit)

Maybe but remasters can be hit or miss, they can either change a lot and ruin the game or change just enough to improve just enough to make the game way better than it was before, that's one of the reasons I haven't played the switch version of KOTOR 1 and 2, even though it's technically not a remaster I'm still worried that they may have changed things for the worse.

"Grim Fandango" for dialogue, visual design and music. Best played with a walkthrough, it has some wonderful moments of classic adventure game "logic"

"Inscryption" if you want something rather different. I feel saying any more spoils the experience.

"It takes two" is just a genuine joy to play with a friend. If video games are primarily about having fun - with a friend - , this game is king.

"Furi" is a boss rush game with an excellent blend of bullet hell and sidescroll-era beat-em-up mechanics with a very satisfying ending. Also a kickass OST
 
My favorite game of all time is Red Dead Redemption. Perfect balance of 'realism' and the old Rockstar flavor.

Gameplay can be both very fast and intense, or subdued and calm. Extremely unique musical score influenced by countless entries in the Western genre.

John Marston is a complex character and a good man who has done bad things. We would all be so lucky as to be like John.
 
Games are dumb, but one random example I can think of is the game Monster Rancher on the PS1. It had a very unusual mechanic whereby you obtained new monsters by putting in other CDs.

So like you'd go to the one area in your menu, and the game would stop and tell you to insert another disk: you'd open the console up and pop out the Monster Rancher CD and you'd put in whatever, other game disks, music CDs, basically anything, let the console read the disk, you would then take it out, put the Monster Rancher CD back in, and based upon the disk you put in it would give you a monster of some type and variety that you could proceed to train.
I don't know exactly what part of the data on a CD they used to determine it, but there was a list on the proto-internet that you could find with a bunch of CDs and the monster they would produce. Some specific CDs would produce unique monsters.

Because of that and because a lot of people in the modern day don't even have disk drives, I question how well the game could even be emulated anymore.
I'm almost positive that unless you play the original Monster Rancher 1/2 games on an actual playstation, you cannot gain access to that primary feature.

There are a ton of games that did weird stuff like that over the years that don't get a lot of recognition for how fucking bizarre they were.

Everything by ACE Team. Just look at this stuff.

It's an old movie with the directors commentary track explaining the tricks they used to make it, it's what Eat Lead: Max Hazard could have been.
