• Looking for games again...

    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Tue Dec 9 17:28:00 2025
    1. I've listed all of the 2 player games I own that I haven't played that
    I'd liketo try with someone if they're willing.

    2. I've played a couple of Adult VNs to completion without difficulty and enjoyed them (Arcane Lust and SEXXX Girls). I've played a non-adult VN and
    was totally bored (I can't remember what it was called, it was Anime based.).
    I have Stein's Gate, but haven't played it yet. Are there any good Visual Novels that could be recommended? Something that would make me think about reality, but not have to solve puzzles.

    3. I'd like something that just tells a story. No difficult combat, though some combat is ok. No puzzles. I can't even handle easy puzzles with my cognitive disabilities. RPGs are good for this, and I've got several, but haven't played any other than Chained Echoes, which I only played for about
    50 minutes and haven't gone back to.

    Any recommendations that sound like I'd enjoy them would be welcome. I keep getting recommended stuff with puzzles or difficult combat. Easy mode isn't good enough for me; I find it to be more normal. If it has a second easier setting (or novice, which some ubisoft games have), I could do that. I have
    no desire to increase my skill level, I don't find that fun.

    I was pretty bummed with Leisure Suit Larry when I got to the finish and it didn't have anything "more adult".

    I don't think I ever finished a Leisure Suit Larry game.. I mostly only played the 3rd one. And I think it had a great soundtrack..

    Good memories. I remember being a youngster and trying to get past the intro questions to play this while my parents were upstairs. :D

    I played Leisure Suit Larry 3 on my dad's PC (and he fully knew I was playing it, as he's the one who showed me the game), and even when I was 10 years old, I was able to pass enough of the intro questions to play the game. I remember the game asking about events that I thought were fairly well-known, such as famous news events from the past & things, which I had learned about from my dad & just word of mouth from other people.

    That was the first one I played too I think. I never finished it, but the soundtrack was excellent, and I liked the artwork (heh) and the mood it set.

    Still remember some of the jokes from the comedy club part.

    Recommendations welcome. Please get away from the adult game topic... VNs
    are OK though and adult VNs are ok, but this totally got off topic...

    I'd imagine if anyone else played games of this genre, they would have spoke up by now, or even messaged you in private if one had felt the need to do so.z

    Memories of playing Leisure Suit Larry as teenagers, whilst arguing if what was seen was an elbow or a boob, may very well be the closest thing to "on-topic" you're going to get on this one, champ. ;)

    If I remember right, this is not the first time you've brought up this topic, and at least one other time that I can remember, there was the sounds of crickets then, too.

    Regards,
    Nick

    I was asking for any game (and just happened to mention that genre, but not exclusively) that would be strictly story based and very easy.

    I've brought up easy games before, adult VNs is just something that was
    added, not what I wanted to talk about. My reflexes, tremors and other
    issues make hard games (and games that say they have easy modes but don't)
    out of the question for me. My ADHD makes me unlikely to take kindly to puzzles and strategy. Lego's games have been suggested to me, but the one Avenger's game I've played with multiple friends at different times we were unable to get past the first screen. I've got a ton of Lego's games, but generally find them too hard as well. Maybe I just haven't played the right one? I've got the "When World's Collide" Bundle.
