It Just Bugs Me!

i basically dislike anything thats not 3rd or 1st person

I feel like the pixel / 8bit / 16bit / retro thing has been done so much the past few years that I tend to skip over games in that genre that might be really good.

Yes those enhanced edition doesn't do much good to those classic rpg games, if someone have original version it is fine.
The best think you can do is using some display that will be good enough for using lower resolution those games were created for, some lcd monitors do this better (scaling, interpolation) then others, crt would be best for such resolutions ofc if you happen to have one in a very good condition of course.
ps - I'm just playing Planescape: Torment too and bought it on last sale, never used enhanced editions myself before.

So... it bugs you cause it looks like a video game for bugs? :p
I don't mind pixel graphics but voxels look hideous to me. Never played Minecraft because of that but I'd like to give Staxel a try since I got it in the Humble monthly.

I don't actively seek out isometric games, but Bastion has that camera and that's amazing. Tokyo 42 is also aesthetic as all hell.

For me, it's match-3 games. Followed closely by walking sim horror games.

If you hate isometric games.. Why buy an isometric game? This bugs me 🤣👍
Stay true to yourself, and what You like. A good story can be found in sooo many other places.
Your friends' recommendation does not seem to fit you at all.

What keeps me away from games and movies = Zombies
I cant stand em. Enough already! 🙄

• Nice ratio btw. Have a 💙

I actually really like isometric games, but specifically only MMO and Diablo-esk ones. I don't think I've ever played any story focused ones like Planescape Tournament or Baldur's Gate, and turn based strategy ones like Disgaea have never really clicked with me (but I still try new ones every so often) .

First person games on the other hand I've had to almost completely give up on due to worsening motion sickness issues. I used to like a lot of first person games, but it's hard to enjoy something when it makes you physically ill. :(

games with H-FOV under 90

Are you playing the original game or the enhanced edition? The original version is in 640x480. The enhanced edition has higher resolution options, but instead of rendering it at the higher resolution, it "zooms" out, making everything smaller. I believe the enhanced edition has a zoom in feature though so you can zoom in so everything isn't so tiny.

I own the original on GOG, and after playing modern isometric games that have native wide screen and render the same "FOV" at higher resolutions, when I loaded up PS:T a while back, it felt weird being so close to everything.

Oh man, isometric bugs me as much as it does to you so I completely understand you.

I played Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment when they came out, finished them, now i tried Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment and yeah i just don't get that feel anymore, maybe i just need to get used to it, i dunno.

Have you tried lowering your resolution? While it isn't handy, halving it means double the space is used to display things(making them double as big).

I know it's weird as fuck and most, if not all of you will be confused at this, but...
I actually dislike games which give you too many choices.

The reason being I'm a very hesitant person with the lack of confidence to make impactful decisions. When a game offers me too many branching choices that heavily affect the game, I end up getting stressed over it and dropping the game. I think it's one of the reasons I never finished the Walking Dead (aside from the setting being extremely boring to me).

I still love having choices in games, but not too many choices, especially if they heavily impact the game and you can't quicksave at any time in case you fuck it up.

I've never had any problem with isometric views. The one thing that bothers me more than anything is perma-death it's one of the most asinine things (in my opinion) and I really don't like it whatsoever. Why would I want hours upon hours of progress erased because of RNG or some stupid mistake? Trail-and-error gameplay like Dark Souls annoys me for the same reason, I abhor having to replay sections of games over and over again. Games with too many achievements, extremely annoying ones or very grindy ones get a pass too mostly.

I'm sorry. Your monitor resolution is too high to play this game. ;)

Seriously though, it should have zoom in and zoom out buttons. I haven't played the EE version myself, so I don't know what the defaults are, but you can bind them to whatever you want. The original game was 640x480, so of course if you zoom out until the game fills a 1920x1080 screen everything will look tiny. Zoom in and it should look much larger, if more pixelated.

And do play the game. It's fantastic!

Zombies, no window option, hard to read but 'hip af' fonts, small text and stupid zoom choices (especially lack of zoom ability). Bad dictionaries in word games... Also, anime style art. And don't get me started on the darkness of so so so many walking simulators, horror/thriller/mystery/scifi games. If I want to stare at a black screen, I can switch my monitor off, thank you very much. Not a big fan of blind jumps either, but I guess that goes with the stupid zoom things.

Yes, I'm picky. :D And play so many different genres of games.

I prefer when camera is high vs low in isometric games. I play now in Dungeon Siege III, and everything is so close I can't see objects that are few meters away from me
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ And I really dislike games without ability to zoom in/out. Nothing like not giving a choice to people that play your game :ok_hand:

Simply hate it. I like to have overlook over big part of the map (as long as I can still distinguish me from enemy for example). I tend to have bad orientation problems, so having tiny FOV makes me confused where I am and where I must go next.
