Pretty much a lot of procedural "content". I guarantee big publishers will capitalize on all of this AI to replace writers with generated stories/quests/etc. No idea what to make of this.

I have the base game. I played for a couple hours but haven't got the "hook". It feels very... unfulfilling... "objective marker on map, done, next". Maybe not for me or I'm playing it wrong?
Honestly I still come back to old school RuneScape every now and then for that comfy nostalgia. Even as I type I get that pang to go questing.
It really comes down to having a "place" to engage in. I don't think beehaw/lemmy has a furry community yet. This is further complicated with "art" (which I understand, hosting+moderation). One of the things I'll miss from reddit is those communities. Granted, I was lurking more for the "art".
I went and finished it :) I made a post with my thoughts, but overall I ended up enjoying it. Thanks for rekindling my interest!
The atmosphere in Rebirth is much weaker compared to Amnesia. But it has rare moments of "lucidity" when you catch a scent of atmosphere. There is certain thing Rebirth has which Amnesia was missing, as weird as that might sound, but I think you'll get it once you reach a certain point.
There are some puzzles here and there, but they didn't stand out at all because they're so straightforward.
Outer Wilds - (I loved this one so much 10/10)
This is my most favorite game. Such a wonderful setting, gameplay, story, atmosphere, everything. One of those experiences you wish you could forget so that you could experience again for the first time.
Thanks for clearing it up. I imagined moderated content along the lines of reddit.
I glanced briefly, but couldn't find a topic on it. What's the stance on NSFW (i.e. porn, art, etc.)?
I also keep wanting to come back to DS2 for the long journey with so many cool locations.
Salt and Sanctuary really holds a special place for me. The atmosphere is absolutely top notch; we're talking Hollow Knight levels in my opinion. The map design is also phenomenal along with tons of secrets and shortcuts. Not sure if the recent patch fixed it, but the combat is kinda unbalanced from what I recall. Heavy armor is more or less useless so you might as well go fashion-souls. And 2-handed strength weapons are king.
I think most of the hate was from the initial release. At this point blatant hate is undeserved and it might be a meme at this point or a bandwagon to hop on where everyone knows "DS2 bad".
It's the impression I get, I rarely hear it discussed or people just haven't heard of it when Hollow Knight comes up.
I actually gave Ender Lilies a shot. I have to admit it didn't grab me for some reason. I don't remember what problem I had with it exactly. BUT it does have a phenomenal soundtrack (Awakening, North).
Have you played Aquaria? I should've mentioned this one instead (slipped my mind) because it feels even more obscure than Salt and Sanctuary.
That's one of the big things that bothered my in Breath of the Wild. I wanted to go to this cool looking location and find something neat, but I knew that I'll either get a weapon that breaks in 5 hits, a seed, or an orb. Really deflated my sense of exploration when I realized this was the gameplay loop.
