    I remember in one of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games, Ghost Rider was bizarrely the only character in the game that could revive KO'd allies.

    The implication there that every hero goes to Hell so he's able to drag them out?

    Something like “the deepest, most intricate simulation of a world that’s ever been created” would read like overly generous marketing copy for any other game, but might be underselling Dwarf Fortress

    Seriously, just go read any of the DF threads on these forums where people talk about how when your dwarves are in the hospital they need water but since they can't get out of bed they need another dwarf to bring them water but if you don't have any buckets then the wounded dwarf dies of thirst because nobody has a bucket to fill and bring to slake their thirst.

    Or how you can grow crops like purple helmet (big mushrooms) and can then eat them raw, cook them, or brew them into alcohol (which dwarves need like humans need water), but if you cook the purple helmets then you won't get any seeds from them so if you cook too many you won't have enough seeds to plant a big enough crop next year and you'll have to hope traders come and hope that if they do they bring more seeds.

    And while that sounds chaotic and ridiculous (it is), it's also part of the charm and I love it though I'm terrible at it and my ADHD paralyzes me with too many choices and oh god they're all traumatized or dead again

    Oh that's no big deal. It's not that every hero goes to hell, it's that everyone goes to hell. Because while mortals are able to think up an infinite number of ways to inflict pain and suffering upon themselves none of them are capable of imagining a truly unflawed paradise.

    Everyone buy Dwarf Fortress.

    Even if you think you're going to bounce off it hard, buy Dwarf Fortress.

    It's one of those things that is a miracle it even exists.

    Fighting special or big monsters in Witcher 3 is like, completely fine combat. Nothing to write home about but the spectacle moments basically work.

    By the 20th time you're fighting a pack of drowners so you can get to an icon on the map it's some of the most boring, rote combat I've ever had to endure.

    Boatmurdered was what got me to try the game way back when. When the map was all one floor, stretching left to right to represent depth. It's so much more complicated now haha.

    I really wish drops were not random in Midnight Suns and were like, instantly kills low-tier elites and two pushed into a drop in the same turn kills a high tier elite. For a game that otherwise satisfies the niche of being into the breach-level tight it’s a very very random highroll system with huge upside and downside (since a failed drop is low damage and no CC/ clearing trash)

    Undead are pretty strong in dwarf fortress because they remain active threats until their heads get pulverized IIRC? They don't succumb to pain or bleeding out or organ damage or dismemberment like living creatures do.
