What is your favourite game outside of the touhou series

I think touhou fans have alot in common with games that are totally different because after an extremely challenging game like touhou you want a game thats easier to relax with. It makes sense to an extent

 
By the way Scarlet, I see that you have a screenshot of Celeste as your header. I love that game so much! The music, the level design and the story are just amazing! It's still one of the best indie games I've played!

 
@Isaacyes! I do! I really love celeste too, it was when i was doing a speedrun of the game, the level design is absolutely spectacular, though the game isn't as hard as everyone says it is. It is absolutely still one of the best indie games I've played in a long time

 
Damn this thread got way more activity then I expected in very little time. Guess I have no choice but to appear myself.

It has been said on this forum before. It will be no surprise to anyone who knows me. Anyone who's followed my forum posts will see it coming from a mile off.

Deep breath in

I like Monster Hunter.

Deep breath out

I still haven't played the Sunbreak expansion for Monster Hunter Rise yet. I don't have the time.  :TenshiCry:

This seems to have become a Pokemon discussion so I'll drop my two cents too. I used to be a big fan myself, in fact it was the first video game I ever played, so it's been with me for a long time. However for several years now I've not been happy with the direction the series is going, so I stopped following it. Most of my attachment is gone now, although my friends who also grew up with it remain more enthused than I am. Oh well. I have Touhou now. Touhou basically replaced it.

 
Yeah, this post has been going a little crazier than I expected, also monster hunter isn't that bad, i tried it out, wasn't my thing but a good game. And yeah, Pokémon nhas been declining over the years, hopefully the 9th generation of games fixes that but i have little faith that it will, also yes, touhou > Pokémon 

 
I've only had the chance to play 3ds monhun and, I loved them even with the wonky camera controls. Only wish G rank wasn't stupidly time consuming to solo in those games because of hp scaling... it kinda burned me out in the end.

Also share the same lukewarm feelings towards pokemon, though I just, haven't felt the itch to play any of the games in a while really.

Anyways, my favorite goes back and forth between Final Fantasy 6 and Xenoblade Chronicles 1. Also I'm sure I would love SMT if I could get behind the whole demon system.

 
Personally i prefer Final Fantasy 7 and I've never played Xenoblade, i probably won't tbh, mainly because of the console it's stranded on, the Wii. When you say SMT do you mean Shin Megami Tensei? The Persona series and the Shin Megami Tensei series are both amazing 

 
Ah, I believe I already mentioned this in the Videogame Difficulty thread: Captive by Tony Crowther on the Amiga, although I did play the Atari ST version first. It was basically his homage to FTL's Dungeon Master, a game that really requires no introduction whatsoever to anybody my age. Heh, it's no exaggeration either to say that I've sunk more playtime into Captive than any other game I have ever played, undoubtedly more than 10,000 hours at this point. (#^_^#)

For anyone that's interested, I did a fairly fast runthrough of the first mission a few years back for my channel:-

Looks fun! I've been trying to get an Amiga for a while, but my Bank account doesn't feel like it lol, 10,000 hours, wow, that's almost as much time as I've put into splatoon (both combined)

 
Hollow Knight. My main genre is 2D platformers, and specifically metroidvanias; I adore exploration gameplay, and 3D titles tend to feel more empty to me.

I've never really been an exploration gamer. 3D titles are more my thing, they feel more immersive to me. Is hollow Knight worth it? I've been looking to try out more 2D games.

For someone like me, base price of Hollow Knight is lower than deserved (a "steal," as they say). But for you, difficult to be sure of; I can say that Celeste was my favorite game before Hollow Knight, so if you enjoyed that game then that may be indicative. Have you played a metroidvania before, and if so did you enjoy it or not?

Honestly, your enthusiasm for the series (not to mention the amazing music) has done a lot to make me interested in trying it out. I bought Generations Ultimate for the switch, but I haven't had time to actually try it yet. On a side note, a Youtuber I follow recently did a video essay on the series which I found to be entertainingly informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DMyw3uz4Ys

I've never played Pokemon, and I'm not too motivated to do so at this time. If more comes of the open world from Arceus . . . I probably still won't feel like playing it, but it'd be a bit more likely. Sword & Shield soundtrack is great, though!

I've never tried a metroidvania before, it's probably the only genre I've never tried

 
It's tricky to pick a game I personally is my favorite, I guess I'll pick Binding Of Isaac: Repentance.

There's a bunch of other games I enjoy playing as well.

I will say that I really enjoy RPGs, adventure games, and puzzle games with some problem solving stuff in them

That was in a very short period though, under three years, say, and I've probably put an equal measure of hours into Dungeon Master as well. Oh, and unless you're a super fan with a lot of time, money, effort and above all, space, maintaining and running old machines is way too much hassle. Just download WinUAE and play the games you want in emulation instead. (^_^)

As for Metroidvanias: I was very tempted to play Ender Lilies recently upon seeing a thumbnail of it on StoneofTriumph's channel that initially had me thinking it was a Lily White game (don't laugh, the way she glows in all that desolation did make it appear to be her until you took a closer look). In any case, although the incredibly cutesy character definitely appeals to my sensibilities, the gameplay does not. Constant backtracking is not my idea of fun and it quickly got on my nerves in Dracula X. The fact you can't actually die in the game is kind of off-putting for me as well since there are no real consequence to failure other than a loss of time. (-_-)

Wound up watching his playthrough in the end and giving The Vagrant a try instead, which turned out to be a much faster, more strategically orientated game with a lot less pointless bloody backtracking overall. Finished it on the hardest level of difficulty with no restarts whatsoever, which even impressed the original programmers when I told them I'd finally done it as it isn't one of the official achievements. (=^_^=)

Honestly, never been much of an emulation person. Just never been something i enjoy doing, i have a few old computers, so im used to the hassle. I've always been really into rhythm games, but they make my fingers want to jump off a bridge so I don't play them as much as i used to.

I love Metroidvanias. I have several friends who already love Hollow Knight. I know I would love Hollow Knight. But, I just have too many other things keeping me occupied at the moment. Celeste was also on my watchlist of switch games to get, but I never got around to buying it. Sigh... one day I will find time to play all these cool games...
