Avowed was very mid. I enjoyed it enough, but nothing about it was particularly brilliant or terrible.

The Technomancer

The incredible adventures of Van Helsing. Decent rpg with loot but was fairly imbalanced among character classes. The real winner was the mini tower defense games in it and the spinoff tower defense game, imo.

Pretty much every korean MMORPG released from 2006-2014, as they were desperately trying to be "World of Warcraft, but better". Perfect World, Aion, ArcheAge, 4story, Granado Espada, etc etc etc, even when you have the better experience of playing on a private server with significantly less P2W (as in, nearly everyone gets most of the shop for free)

To me, personally, ArcheAge would be the best fit for "dead medium quality". It boasts naval combat, which is meh; player run trade caravans, which probably only worked as intended in the first 2 months after launch; limits on gathering and crafting, which just forces free players to buy premium; graphics are the generic korean mmo variety, pretty but almost impossible to distinguish between games; music, enemies, dungeons and most gear exist

Ragnarok Online was the last incredible MMO.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Eh, debatable. I've played it for roughly 2 years (2004-6) on private servers and even then I knew it wasn't "the best" or "incredible" by any means, but it was light years ahead of Tibia (which was my first taste of MMORPGs, back when the starter island was a mess with too many players and not enough rats in the sewers for people to kill and level up) in every regard. Even with higher rates and an incredible teenage patience for braindead repetition, the grind got old really damn fast, not to mention that the game penalized fucking around (no stat resets, only on the 99 rebirth) and fucking up (1% xp penalty on death hit harder and harder the higher your level).

Played for a long time on EuphRO server (3x/3x/2x), my highest level character was 75 or something close to that. I think I gave up playing altogether around the time I got a super novice to level 50 on a different, higher rate server

I am biased because RO changed my life. I played on a 2x/2x server with like 3k people and it was incredible. I met so many awesome people to braindead farm with and WoE was so fun, I didn’t have a lot of close friends in real life but I had some incredible people in RO. Also as a young bi furry bitch Moonie gave me very confusing feelings. I might not be here today if not for RO, so I have some opinions on RO hahaha

Quick edit: I played from when it came out here until when it became F2P and I disagreed with that choice. I hate MTX shit.

Im sorry but perfect world got down flying before any other game and it was hella fun.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

we are in a golden age of medium good action games. lies of p, stellar blade, khazan the first berserker, another crab's treasure come to mind for me.

non-fromsoft soulslikes are starting to find their voice. they're not quite great yet, but they're competent now.

I suppose Resident Evil 8? The scares weren't very scary, the exploration was all very fake, and the bosses all showed up for attendance. It definitely functioned, but it didn't impress in the way previous entries did. It wasn't frustratingly bad like 5, nor was it interestingly bad like 6. It just felt like a lesser version of what they've given me before, somewhere between 4 and 7.

Generation Zero. Primo aesthetic, sometimes well balanced, good with friends but not so much solo.

Well, when it comes to video games, despite being foundational, Mario Bros. At the time, it was mids, but there were a lot less truly great games, and less abysmal ones so it looked better than it was. The series got better, but that first one was kinda meh. It's all timing jumps, which is fine as far it as it goes, but there were both better and worse options on that console.

Away from video game, Life is about as meh as it gets. No real strategy, no depth. But it's a good time killer and you can play it with a table full of people drinking and not get bogged down or into arguments because of the game (unlike monopoly lol).

Sackboy a Big Adventure. Absolutely no ill will towards it, and the issue may lie more with me than the game, but it just felt very "okay" for me.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Assault Spy comes to mind.

And Mad Max maybe?

Minesweeper

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I remember feeling this way about Die Hard: Vendetta for GC. Strong meh/10.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Die Hard: V for Vendetta would be a hell of a crossover.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Lmao, whoops. Too early in the morning.

Atlas Fallen. Having played it, all I can say is that it doesn't elicit any heightened emotions from me.
