So hopefully I’m doing this right! :) (I’m still new to some of this so haven’t figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)
Is there a computer game, a moment in a game, a boss fight, or a specific moment that you would love to experience fresh with no prior memory of it?
Mine would have to be The Seat of Sacrifice fight in Final Fantasy XIV, one of if not my most favourite fights in the game to date.
The mechanics work so well and tie into everything that’s been happening, and then that moment where <redacted> (I refuse to spoil it!) shows up to help and then leaves with I think what made me cheer SO MUCH the first time I did the fight.
The music, the song To The Edge has become one of my most played songs in my entire music library (alongside Endwalker - Footfalls and Shadowbringers) as it is quite frankly perfect for the fight. and when they revealed that Soken had been battling cancer and wrote it whilst in hospital…
I adore the fight all together, and cannot help but say the lines in the cut scene bit in the middle every time I do the fight, and will never ever get bored of it.
So what moments in a game would you love to complete again with no prior experience?
Outer Wilds for sure. This game is special, but it’s difficult to replay with prior knowledge.
Portal 2 is another game i would like to experience for the first time again
I never managed to get into outer wilds. I played the first 2-3 hours twice, but I always stop after that
Yeah i can see how this game is not for everyone since it is a huge puzzle exploring game and you can get lost on what to do easily. The information board on your ship though gives you some idea on where to go next most of the time and helps you to figure stuff out
oh yes the portal games definatly. Fun games.
Outer Wilds DLC almost gave me the same feels as the main game, if you’re looking to get that feeling again.
But man, I’d just love to experience that game for the first time again. There’s just nothing like it.
I suppose half the point of the game is just to figure out what the point of the game is though, so once you know its mostly pointless replaying it.
I did replay it though, before the DLC. I had forgotten more about it than I thought though, so there was still enjoyment to be had. But mostly it was just re-figuring out how to get to certain places. The main lore and story is something I’ll not forget, sadly.
