Is there a computer game, or a specific moment, a fight etc that you wish you could do fresh with no prior memory of it? (kbin.social)

So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)

Is there a computer game, a moment in a game, a boss fight, or a specific moment that you would love to experience fresh with no prior memory of it?

Mine would have to be The Seat of Sacrifice fight in Final Fantasy XIV, one of if not my most favourite fights in the game to date.
The mechanics work so well and tie into everything that's been happening, and then that moment where <redacted> (I refuse to spoil it!) shows up to help and then leaves with I think what made me cheer SO MUCH the first time I did the fight.

The music, the song To The Edge has become one of my most played songs in my entire music library (alongside Endwalker - Footfalls and Shadowbringers) as it is quite frankly perfect for the fight. and when they revealed that Soken had been battling cancer and wrote it whilst in hospital...

I adore the fight all together, and cannot help but say the lines in the cut scene bit in the middle every time I do the fight, and will never ever get bored of it.

So what moments in a game would you love to complete again with no prior experience?

Another I would add is the first Infamous, final boss fight. The reveal was great for an already great game.

I wish I could go back and play Her Story again. My wife and I stayed up all night 100%-ing that game years ago, and it was one of the best gaming experiences I've had, sharing our theories as the story unfolded. Unfortunately though, once you know the story, there's no reason to replay it.

We tried the sequel, but imo it wasn't nearly as good - both mechanically and story-wise.

Amazing game. I only have one complaint about it but unfortunately it's a huge spoiler.

Bit of a different one, but absolutely The Witness.
I adored learning all the puzzle mechanics, and exploring the island.
And for those in the know, the biggest discovery of all would be incredible to experience again for the first time (I at least managed to get some second-hand wonder watching my girlfriend piece it together).

I would kill to be able to experience Nier Automata Ending E for the first time again.

Oh man, so many games. All Metroid (except other M), the first Diablo (especially the Butcher fight), FF6, especially after the last boss battle, will always feel bad about shadow 😔

It's a recent one, but the first time I entered Giant's Deep in Outer Wilds. I have a pretty big fear/anxiety of the ocean and meteorological objects in large sizes (strange one but I feel sick and get vertigo looking up at large clouds). I also find gas giants to be eerie in general.

The first time entering the atmosphere I was sweating so hard, I had to take a shower. No horror game where the main intention is to scare me has ever given me that feeling before. I've only felt that kind of stress when I played RE Nemesis on the PS1 as a young child. The Jeff chapter in Half Life Alyx also came pretty close to that feeling.

I might be a masochist, because I want to experience that again.

I'd love to play Noita again. I already love that game, but I'll never forget the fear and sense of mystery it evoked in me when I first played it. I beat the game without looking at any sort of wiki, guide, or community, and I'm very grateful I did (although it took me quite a while to beat it for the first time. That game is hard!).

The End from MGS 3 and Glock Saint Isshin from Sekiro

Oh and maybe half life 2

NieR Replicant (2021). One of my favourite games, I really liked the story and the characters

[–] toxic@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Have you played Automata?

[–] binboupan@lemmy.kagura.eu 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yakuza series as the whole. I would do anything to experience it fresh once again.

I finished 0-6 last year and I can't wait to forget most of them in a few years to replay them.
