ITT: Comfy games to get into and enjoy.
I haven't had "that game" for a while for me to immerse myself into. I haven't found myself to be able to sit down and have multi hour sessions. I haven't been completely happy lately either, it is probably related, but nothing to talk about here.
Anything you can recommend to get past this slump? (Games to sink into, etc)
Favorite Genres are Open World RPGs, and 2d/3d platformers. Something comparable to Elder Scrolls or Skyrim would be nice.

>elder scrolls or skyrim.
Meant Elder Scrolls or Dark Souls
>>271609790
Playing Pokemon under a blanket while watching TV/series is top notch comfy for me, especiallly in winter when a fire is burning
>>271609790
Fantasy life with a big mug of hot coco shit is comfy as fuck
FE Awakening, Jade Empire, Dragon Age:O
Have you tried out the Piranha Bytes games yet? I wouldn't exactly call Gothic 1 & 2 comfy, though everyone has his own perception of this. They are great games to sink time into though.
Risen(1), which is pretty similar in many ways, is incredibly comfy though and it might offer you an easier start into PB games.

i actually got fantasy life day one but haven't touched it for whatever reason. Thanks.
The coffee mug placement always triggers my autism so I fixed it.
>>271609790
Oblivion, any pokemon and Age of Empires 2 are always my top choices. I´ve played them so much, especially AoE, that the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Chrismas is the whololol noise and the misioners.
The Trine series. The lovely audiovisual presentation makes you feel like you're really in a fantasy tale. I recommend a co-op partner for the second title though, the puzzles and obstacles seem to be aimed towards it and become a real pain in singleplayer.
Gamecube in general is comfy as fuck for me.
Playing Metroid Prime, Luigi's Mansion or Wind Waker, even the Resident Evil Remake, is comfy as fuck.

Is he playing a toaster?
>>271610589
This is acceptable to me

Kai Rosenkranz' god tier soundtrack is part of why it's so comfy.

fuck it, I love playing elder scolls in the winter time. I light some evergreen scented candles, have some hot chocolate or chocolate milk, and just get comfy as fuck
>>271611258
Alternatively do toaster cookies exist?
>>271611258
aka Gamecube
OP, I want you to go out and buy Avernum: Escape from the Pit
It's an old school style open world CRPG. The combat mechanics are satisfying turn based strategy, but the draw is the writing and the world building. It's set in an underground cave system used as a place for the empire above to send their exiles. The player has complete agency in choosing how they respond to the political situation.
It's a big ass game, with no shortage of witty and immersive writing. The sequel is likely to be coming out at the end of the year, too.
>>271611953
The developer's a cool dude too.
He puts out big demos, and has a guarantee -
>don't love the game?
>it's free, just ask.
Fire emblem games, especially the gameboy ones, are perhaps the comfiest games on this earth

Drakensang and its sequel Drakensang:River of Time are both pretty comfy RPGs. They aren't really spectacular gameplay-wise, but it's a pretty solid, with a dice-roll based combat system.
It's based on a german pen and paper RPG.

Show some fucking gratitude/interest OP
>>271611003
Really enjoyed the 2nd one. Never played the first. Ill give it a shot.
>>271613712
i was making myself dinner
>>271609790
I thought Xenoblade Chrionicles was comfy as shit. Huge, colorful world you can wander freely, great sense of adventure, and godlike soundtrack.

Thinking about getting this for the Wii. Is it still worth it?
>>271611953
>>271612183
Put it on my "to buy" list, looks like something ive been waiting to play for a while.
>>271611454
yes. last december a huge ice storm fucked up my town for like a week. everywhere was impassable. so I bought a huge jug of sangria, cranked up the heat, grabbed some blankets, and played skyrim the whole time. comfy as fuck.
>>271614854
Shit's expensive. I dunno if I could buy it.
>>271609790
>Favorite Genres are Open World RPGs, and 2d/3d platformers. Something comparable to Elder Scrolls or Skyrim would be nice.
Dragon's Dogma
>>271614760
been really wanting to play it, but I can't see myself putting out $50+ for it.
Chances are I'll get it for NN3DS
>>271612756
>Drakensang and its sequel Drakensang:River of Time are both pretty comfy RPGs. They aren't really spectacular gameplay-wise, but it's a pretty solid, with a dice-roll based combat system.
oh muh nigga
I fucking love Drakensang. The gameworld just looks so fucking peacecul.
>>271614921
>sangria
But that's a beach drink.
>>271614854
I can't really say, I aim to buy it when i buy a Wii U, but I emulated it first to see what was up. Not sure how to go about playing it, since it emulates so poorly.
>>271615128
>But that's a beach drink.
not if you drink it hot
then it's pretty much mulled wine
>>271611243
MUH NUGGUH. Really. Absolutely agreed. Didn't even realize how comfy I felt until I read your post
Recently I felt the same way, but I picked up Wolf TNO when it was on sale and I haven't had this much fucking fun for this long in quite some time.
Don't know what I'm gonna do when I'm done with it though...
I need a new, deep RPG to sink into as well
Anyone want to redo this?
>>271611003
Wow, this is gorgeous. I might have to pick it up.
>>271615128
eh i know but it was cheap and tastes like how i imagine all fantasy wine tastes. it was more for like a dumb sense of immersion because im a tremendous shitbird.
>>271610261
Ill give em a go. I'm a big fan of medieval games. Researching shows that Risen 2 is more pirate based? Is it worth playing all 3, or just 1 and 3?
>>271609790
I started scribblenauts today and it is super comfy if you ignore the occasional spook like having to serve a kanibal human flesh, maxwells evil twin out of nowhere or the fact that you can kill everything with a simple typing of DEAD and many other ways.
>mfw flood is an actual item and reaps the all the worthles sinners from the current map
>mfw wanting to impress the invisible man with NOTHING but that just created a black hole in the museum
Elona+. Normally I'd give you a big explanation on what it's about but I'm in a bit of a hurry. It's pretty hard to get into mechanically, but trust me, you'll get absorbed quickly. Look into it, ask arounddon't ask the roguelike general, they're autists. I think /jp/ has threads about it. Enjoy.
>>271615531
>No FF games
>The Sims
Someone should.
OPs image is so old. I'm a ancientfag and I've never noticed until now he's playing on a toaster.

some good comfy RPGs i've played recently:
Trails in the Sky (pc)- colorful and lighthearted, designed around avoiding grinding, easy to stomach turn based combat. Orbal system gets surprisingly deep.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (ds)- also colorful, a lot easier to get into and play than the first tactics, gives a great sense of freedom in character building from the start, comfy music and premise make it feel like a kickass story book. Tons of play time.
Xenoblade Chronicles (wii)- see previous post with link to soundtrack, shit is godlike. >>271614760
Final fantasy XII (ps2)- feels a lot more free than other FF, varied and rewarding open world combat. A bit MMO-like, similar to Xenoblade in moment to moment gameplay.
Dark Cloud 2 (also called Dark Chronicle, ps2)- personal favourite. comfy dungeon crawling and huge, huge amount of content. crafting, weapons building, town sim, photography, character building, time travel, customizable robot, optional monster capture system, best fishing minigame ever with racing and breeding.
I can link to where to find this stuff if anyone needs it.
>>271616117
Dont complain about autists when you recommend true roguelikes.
>>271615853
I'll give you a personal ranking of all the PB games.
G2>G1>>Risen1>>>>Gothic3>>Risen3>>>>>>>>>>>>>Risen2
Like I said, Risen1 might be a good start since it isn't as dated. There are a lot who don't like the controls of the first two Gothic game, and while I agree you need to get used to them I wouldn't say they are bad or hinder your fun in anyway.
So to actually get to your question: Gothic games are your typical medieval fantasy games, Risen 1 has some tropical/spanish conquistador vibe to it, but only in Risen 2 they really focused on the Pirate stuff. Risen 2 is also far worse in practically every other point as well.
Also, If you want to play the Gothic games, I would recommend playing them chronologically. They aren't directly connected to Risen, though.
>>271616662
I don't understand what you're trying to say
I find the misery mod for Call of Pripyat incredibly comfy despite the depressing atmosphere.
I'm 11 hours into this playthrough and I'm literally just living day to day in the zone, selling meat.
Is Beyond Good and Evil comfy?
>>271616158
>play a FF game
>arrive at the most comfy city/town
>gets destroyed or unable to access it later
I fucking hate games that do that.

I already liked the first one, but I was mindblown when I played the sequel and saw how much they improved on the design.
Screenshots still don't do it justice though, you need to smooth through the environments with that fluent gameplay.
The games are on sales fairly often, Trine 1 for something like 90 cent even, so I would wait for a sale.
>>271616114
i remember playing Super Scrubblenauts when it came out. Played it for hours on end. Haven't touched unlimited or DC. (I don't know much about DC anyways)
>>271617581
Tales of symphonia had that but you could rebuild teh city with lots of dosh.
One of my favourite sidequests of all time.
>>271615463
fuck, I missed the $30 sale. I don't think I'll pay $60 for it, next sale for sure. I really enjoyed playing it at pax.
Looking for more options on New Order.
man i ve been feeling like OP for a while, but i wish i could find a good grinding game
>>271618321
Unlimited is just an enhenced version of the original from what I understand. The steam modding adds a little to it.
>>271609790
You should try Transistor, its a different kind of comfy, its based in a somewhat digital style city and the art/background city is fucking breathe taking. The combat is simple but fun and a little challenging at times and with probably over a thousand ability combinations.
The story is great but you have to pay attention and read/listen to alot of things to get the full story and it only really unfolds towards the end of the game.
And then there is the soundtrack which is the best ive ever heard in any game, its just incredible (not to mention the humming that the protag does)
Also female protag so its good.
comfy is the most meaningless sensationalist descriptor you could possibly use
Can you really not articulate what makes a particular game fun or enjoyable other than "I like the way it makes me feel"
>>271615531
I say it every comfy thread, but add shenmue.
There is literally no game more comfy
>>271609790
It's not a game you'll get immersed in per se but Outrun 2 and Outrun 2SP are a joy to play and the presentation is 10/10 from the environments to the music. About as comfy as a racing game can get.
>>271619596
Comfy is only meaningless to those who haven't experienced this divine sensation themselves.
Get lost, sceptic.
>>271617432
Depends, lot of eerie dark places, but overall world and characters pertain a fair amount of comfiness.
>>271619596
>hello im anon and i have never felt true comfyness in my live so i dont really know what comfy means
i will pray for you tonight
>>271614854
fucking worth it, very comfy and super long, get it if you see it for a decent Price
Also if you can't get it then emulate it, you can even force HD with Dolphin
My comfy games tier list

Cataclysm dark days ahead
shits comfy as fuck
>>271615531
Skyrim, really?
Other than it's pretty good. Might add something like Skies of Arcadia
Any of the good old 3d platforming. Banjo Kazooie, Super mario 64/Sunshine, DK 64, Jak & Daxter 1, all those games are super comfy.
>>271622772
looks pretty good! Downloading now.
Donkey Kong Country, lights down volume up.
>>271621709
I would emulate it, but doesn't it use Wii Remote? I have a 360 controller and GCN controller. Can it be mapped to play well with ether of them?
>>271610229
I have DA:O from on the house. In that cause it's top on my play list.
I've only played like an hour of Dragon Quest 8 so far, but I'm go ahead an recommend it.
I've decided to get comfy with anime this weekPls don't bully
>>271624185
the whole trilogy is a good shout
>>271624257
The game doesn't use wii remote movement, so guess any of those would work if mapped correctly
