Oh I am intimately familiar with Viva New Vegas and the general modding scene, I've spent probably several hundred hours over the years modding New Vegas. Hence my apprehension.
One the one hand F:NV is a broken mess that could seriously use a once-over... but one the other I shudder at the thought of all the mods this might break.
Definitely jump right in at Chaos Theory. One of the best stealth games ever, and actually maybe just games ever full stop. One of my favourite games at least, for sure. You may need to do some fixes if playing on PC, but it's worth it - especially restoring EAX.
Now that you've played this you gotta play Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory soon so you can compare the stealth giants in close succession.
Both DLCs are worth playing in my opinion. I think the first two Night Springs episodes are pretty weak, but the third one is great (at least if you've played the Remedy back catalogue - including Quantum Break) and the Lake House is just stellar.
HGSS is peak Pokémon.
Let's see what kind of unbelievable powecreep they come up with to upstage Urshifu and the horses.
Lake House DLC was amazing, both a super tight horror chapter and a nicely written thinly veiled commentary on AI art.
Great writeup from my favourite video game journalist. Maybe one day I'll actually play EarthBound, I kind of missed the boat on it back in the day.
I haven't played myself because I don't have friends to play with but maybe something like PEAK or Abiotic Factor?
More buzz for Titanium Court huh? I am staying unspoiled so I can enjoy it later if it turns out as good as people say, but man I've heard so much talk about it lately.
