    1. Game soundtracks: Listening to them outside the game and how they impact the game itself

      I was curious how many people on here enjoy listening to game soundtracks outside of the game. I personally love when a game has a great soundtrack as it really adds to the atmosphere and overall immersion in the game. I also like collecting physical copies of them as well.

      If you do, which ones are your favorite? Personally I love Shin Megami Tensei, Final Fantasy, and Blazblue soundtracks the most.

      2021

      Enough has been said about 2020 — let’s put some good out into the world in the form of game giveaways as we welcome a new and hopefully brighter year!

      Gifters

      Post your available games, the platform and method of delivery, rules for your giveaways (e.g. first-come first-serve, random draw, etc.), and any additional info or requirements. Feel free to get creative!

      Giftees

      Request giveaways according to the gifter's guidelines!

      Rules

      Anyone can choose to be a gifter, giftee, or both! Giveaway rules are set by individual gifters, but there are handful of guidelines everyone should follow:

      • No grey market keys! Only giveaway games from reputable sources. If you're not sure what this means, please ask.

      • Requests for games should be done in the thread, but if the gift is a key, those should be delivered by PMs only. Please don't post keys publicly, even obfuscated ones.

    3. What were/are your favorite flash/browser games?

      Flash is gonna die for good in a few days (dec 31st) so I felt this is a good time to ask this question. (Although obviously, there have been large efforts to preserve these when the developers...

      Flash is gonna die for good in a few days (dec 31st) so I felt this is a good time to ask this question. (Although obviously, there have been large efforts to preserve these when the developers did not. And even then, HTML5 means browser games will continue to exist, even though mobile games have mostly replaced browser games anyway.)

      Mine personally were (taking away some of the more well-known ones):

      Gravitee 2

      Basically a game of celestial golfball. Had a level editor, which was quite fun.

      Bonk.io (although this one has a sequel that's not in flash)

      Pretty popular for a flash game made in 2016. Basically a game where balls need to "bonk" eachother out of the playing field.

      Effing meteors (Definitely one of the games that I probably remember being better than it is.)

      Basically a game where you clump up small meteors into bigger meteors to destroy stuff.

      Ribbit

      A game where a rabbit and frog are fused together and need to bounce like a pogo to the end.

      Frost bite

      A mountain climbing platforming game.

      Sushi cat

      A game where you need to eat sushis quickly. Also has cutscenes.

      Flash cat

      An aesthetic racing game? Not entirely sure.

      Chisel

      A game where you drill through the planet enough times to move to the next level (man, I had some weird gameplay preferences.)

      Dillo hills

      A game where you need to time your descents to pick up speed in the hills and fly.

      Dino run

      An 8 bit game where you as a dinosaur need to outrun extinction.

      Raccoon racing

      A power-up racing game I remember playing quite a bit. Definitely designed for children, even if that's not very surprising.

    4. Spill your RPG character's secrets that the other party members don't know!

      I'll start: the party knows my character is a veteran of the war between the elves and the humans, but they don't know that she was duped into helping develop a type of biological warfare and becoming an accessory to war crimes.

    5. What makes different hack’n’slash action games distinct and special?

      I’ve been playing Bayonetta on and off for a bit of time, and now that I’m near the end of it (just started Requiem), the genre kinda grew on me, which surprised me quite a bit. I see loads of...

      I’ve been playing Bayonetta on and off for a bit of time, and now that I’m near the end of it (just started Requiem), the genre kinda grew on me, which surprised me quite a bit.

      I see loads of games being thrown in the same bag:

      • Bayonetta
      • Devil May Cry
      • Darksiders
      • Ninja Gaiden
      • No More Heroes
      • God of War
      • several Warriors/Musou games
      • etc. etc.

      So I was wondering what makes any specific game in the general genre distinct and special, and wanted to discuss in this thread.

      My experience with this genre is limited as the Switch is my first ever console, but I will share what little experience I have in a comment.

      P.S. I hope this thread will be a bit more lively than my previous try with the Different types of 3D platformers thread.
