YYY YYYYY YYYBC GHLLLM PPPRR RS SS SSTTT?

...For the last twenty years, I've always been reading it with the second to last word being "thy".

Not an entire game I wish existed, but I wish more RPGs would use riddles and puzzles. Even if I can't figure it out and just have to look up a walkthrough or brute-force it, it's refreshing to encounter a problem that can't be solved by just grinding the relevant stat to 100 or exploiting a broken crafting system.

Have you played Covert Action? A lot of the game is puzzles to decode enemy communications.

Depends on the route you want to take, and those puzzles can be made easier by boosting the relevant stat at game start.

In saying that, there’s the phone-tapping puzzle (which can rather be abused if you happen to be good at it) and the decode the secret message type puzzles, and the “how do I do car chases!?” puzzle, and if all else fails, watching dots on a screen so you can just go steal the answers at the risk of wasting a bunch of time and exposure if you get caught puzzles.

Fun game though; I still fondly remember that one time I was playing the game on the hardest difficulty and completely failed at stopping anything from happening.

Am I the only one that wants this mod?

Am I the only one that wants this mod?

Only if it's built into a game that lets you take advantage of your newfound empathy.

We've got you covered:

How do I resize images?

Fuck that puzzle.

[Kagus]

What, Towers of Hanoi? Nah, it's not so bad. I mean, it gets to be a pain once you're dealing with that many pieces, but it's still just a matter of repeating the pattern a few more times.

I say that because it's one of the only such popular puzzles where the pattern actually "clicked" for me...

Another not so much a game but a scenario I wished for.

Wish more people understood what sorts of games they play, or the types of servers they play on.  Too many RPPvP servers I've played on for games like Conan Exiles or ARK all inevitably devolve into carebear "hippy" communes where everyone just wants to eventually play out less than child friendly situations.  I'm playing a survival game on an RPPvP server to immerse myself in a brutal setting, but even ones that start out promising cave to the people who don't understand what sort of game/server they decided to play on.

I read that as "promising cave to the people", like people were being promised the cave-dwelling life they want and deserve!

I'm reminded of One Hour One Life:

I didn't find it that fun, but RP'ing is basically mandatory, enforced by the game mechanics themselves. I only played one life, but it was nice having my mother, played by another player, care for and protect me for a few minutes until I grew old enough to venture off on my own.

Only time I encountered that puzzle was in KOTOR and I was 15 or so, and not the greatest at visual puzzles. I spent probably three hours dying and reloading before I got the pattern finally.

[Kagus]

I did the one in Black and White, which is pretty easy at only 4 pieces.

Also rather cathartic, as if you're getting frustrated you can just take the pieces of the temple you're relocating and fling them into the distance while listening to the head monk lamenting over how his collection of fine china has been ruined.

I want to see two remakes of Sonic 06. I want to see it remade somehow in the Sonic Adventure engine, and I want to see it completely reimagined as a Bioware-style action RPG like Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

The only time? Have you played anything else by Bioware, any puzzle game, or any other game where they wanted a puzzle? Because that is the go-to (which was my stupid joke). I've solved it in like 5 genres of games. I think it's more common than the 3 switches puzzle.

Putting it in the Sonic Adventure engine would cut down on the bugs some, but I remember falling through the floor a few times in Sonic Adventure 2, or spawning into areas that hadn't fully loaded and falling to my doom.  Still, it would be an improvement.

A Bioware RPG version of Sonic would probably end up cringey or hilariously terrible in various ways, as Sega has proven that they can't make a serious Sonic game without those qualities.  I sometimes wonder if Sonic just doesn't work for serious plots.

I'd watch Let's Plays of either though.  Wouldn't play them, but I'd watch.
