What games make you feel cozy?

>>712863659 (OP)
minecraft beta 1.7.3

>>712863659 (OP)
Zelda Wind Waker and Skyrim

360 era games like Bioshock and stuff mostly. Dying Light makes me feel comfy too because staying in the safe areas makes me feel nice and safe

>>712863728
fpbp /thread
no other game is as cozy as beta MC

>>712863659 (OP)
SOMA, funnily enough.
I think it's because you are so remote and alone (except for the occasional Catherine) and the situation is so hopelessly fucked that it wraps around to being comfy again.

Terraria although Hardmode is less comfy

>>712863991
I've got a ps3 myself recently and yep I don't think I will ned another console ever again with so much sovlful shit to play

Rune Factory (3 or 4)

I really wish I could have more adventures at this school
KS does something I've yet to find in other pure slice of life VNs where the location itself is interesting enough on its own to make the "boring" parts of the game interesting
You play something like Clannad, and yes eventually the stories unravel and some people feel the payoff is worth it, but up until that point its just a basic bitch school setting with extremely basic characters so you spend HOURS going through silly hi-jinks that really aren't funny enough to merit the time spent
KS hooks you in immediately because of how many questions you have about everything in relation to its setting and its characters
It kinda accomplishes what Hogwarts accomplished but without being fantasy
Its very comfy to just exist in, even though 2 of the routes are dogshit.

Animal Well is creepy as fuck but also cozy its kinda hard to explain
as you get comfortable with the game, the whole map feels like home and there's good amount of content after getting comfortable with everything (there's more unlockables post credits than there are pre-credits) so you get to exist in that state for quite awhile.

This was way better than I was expecting and its very cozy to browse hypnospace and find secret pages and tie all the little stories together

>>712863659 (OP)
Banished, Manor Lords, and Battle Brothers.

>>712863659 (OP)
Sonic... as in, most of the franchise really.

>>712863659 (OP)
FFXI. Every zone is SOVL overload.

rf4's entire town effectively being a jpeg makes it real impressive how cozy and familiar it becomes

>>712863659 (OP)
modded vintage story

>>712863659 (OP)
islanders, dwarf fortress, dungeon of the endless

>>712868531
Didn't realize this game had mods
What do you play with? I was kinda curious about it but kept hearing the game turns into an annoying slog but I imagine mods could probably fix that

>>712863659 (OP)
Animal Crossing (GameCube ONLY)
It's home

>>712868635
as of today its been 100% decompiled
Its not truly 100% but its 100% in that now the entire game can be modded freely
There's already a guy working on a mod called Animal Crossing Deluxe which currently has a lot of new features but he's working on backporting newer villagers and items/materials
suffice to say, there will soon be a golden age for Animal Crossing (GC) and I'm pretty excited.

For me it's death stranding. Really hope you can get a walkman or something so you can listen to music when you want.

>>712868785
I just wonder if I can transfer my 8 year save over when it's finished :( I don't wanna start over

FF9: Daguerro, Lindblum, Quan's Dwelling, Dali, Chocobo Lagoon... man nearly every location

>>712868892
The setting and OST carry FF9 so fucking hard

Frostpunk (the first one)

Kingdom Hearts (1 only)

>>712870337
That's not how KH looks like.

>>712870735
Are we finally at the point where the people on /v/ are so young and retarded they don't know what KH1 looks like?

These types of games changed as I got older

It went from: oot> wind waker>fable 1 >oblivion > ds1>botw > bg3

don't starve

>>712870807
Odd, thought that came from kingdom hearts 2
Love that game though, hate the sephiroth boss though

TF2
koth_harvest

>>712864592
i played this game but like nothing progresses after you beat the butterfly chick
also the ui is really outdated and no qol, its real tedious shit like manually picking items and putting them over and over

>>712871985
shouldn't be ashamed of BG3
anyone who actually likes CRPGs can at least appreciate it even if they have problems with it
The conversations attacking it around here are inherently anti-RPG on a foundational level and they would be whiny little faggots if they had to play a tabletop game with people they didn't politically or religiously align with
loser culture war shit and most of them never even played it (or any CRPG for that matter)

>>712872187
I wish KH2 had sovl like Traverse Town but the levels on KH2 are as boring as possible
They went all in on combat though and it paid off so I don't blame them but KH1 has setting down way better
KH2's intro is essentially KH1 tier in story, world building, atmosphere, but the rest of the game doesn't bother

>get sick

Getting old fucking sucks. This post took me 5x longer than usual to type

>>712872471
man I always felt like this
I never understood as a kid how people played games while sick
I could never enjoy anything when I had flu

Still one of the coziest spots in gaming.

>>712863659 (OP)
Death Stranding
Starfield
AC Shadows
Fallout 76

>>712872471
Getting old does fucking suck. That being said, even as a kid when I was sick I always found it best to stay in bed and rest and sleep.

Shenmue
Parasite Eve
FFIX
Ridge Racer Type 4
Streets of Rage 2
Super Aleste
Cosmic Smash
Superflight
Driver
Rez
Panel de Pon
Abzu
Dordogne
Sleeping Dogs
Risk of Rain
Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure
Little Inferno

>>712868590
Brother not only does VS have mods, but the developers own mod framework makes the game extremely easy to use them.

I usually play with a ton of them to really wack out my experience to the cuhrayzee effect.
I suggest, hot takes:
CarryOn
Primitive Survival
Pet AI
VSVillages+addons
Xlib, XSkills
At Waters Edge (old?)
From Golden Fields
Hammers Ringing Fall (if it's done yet)
Combat Extended
Maltiesz Crossbows and Guns
Every mod that Dana makes (Danatweaks etc)
Joy of Sailing (might be old now too)
CANcrops
The Cart Mod
Rivers
Plains and Valleys
all of the fauna of the stone age mods

And just go wild
The 1-Click-Install feature is fucking great.

>>712866032
Broken Reality is a much better game using the same ideia

>>712873274
>developers own mod framework makes the game extremely easy to use them
no surprise considering VS is the standalone evolution of a minecraft mod after they got sick of how shit minecraft's engine is so I imagine they'd intimately understand this stuff.
I really wanna impulse buy it right now because I can never enjoy Minecraft ever again really

>Age of Empires II
>scenario editor
>make nice little cities and then siege them

>>712873425
Its next on my list but I don't really understand how it would offer a similar experience at all
I get the idea is the same but Hypnospace Outlaw nails the feeling of exploring shit online where as in Broken Reality aren't you going through like 3D spaces ala Worlds or Second Life? It just seems like a completely different thing at the end of the day but I suppose I'll find out.

>>712863659 (OP)
Recently, No Man's Sky

>>712873556
>Broken Reality aren't you going through like 3D spaces

You are exploring a virtual environment inspired by the internet of the late 1990s. It resembles a fully three-dimensional Geocities-style space, filled with nostalgic references to the early days of the web. The game's vaporwave soundtrack does most of the heavy lifting.

>>712863659 (OP)
Megaman Legends
Ocarina of Time
Sonic Adventure
Garry's Mod
Final Fantasy 7
C&C Renegade
Super Mario 64
Stardew Valley

I'm not one of those who thinks older games purely are better, but I don't find a lot of modern games all that comfy.

>>712873469
It's a beautiful game, and I think it's a great time.
But you have to understand that it tries to hold you back at a lot of points so you stop and smell the roses.
Learning how to break that is fun, but ultimately defeats the purpose.

You're expected to craft a cozy homestead that you can sit and watch the grass blow in the wind sometimes, instead of a prosperous industrial forge to mass produce pickaxes.
And it will try to heel you with time consuming mini games like metallurgy, smithing, hunger, day/night cycle and weather.
I strongly recommend it, but think of it as Minecraft's more autistic cousin.

>>712874278
What about it is superior to Hypnospace Outlaw in your opinion?

>>712863659 (OP)

Resident Evil, Skyrim and Cyberpunk 2077.

>>712863659 (OP)
Monster Hunter Tri

>>712874701

The gameplay.
Hypnospace Outlaw's gameplay consists entirely of browsing the web.
Broken Reality is a full first-person exploration game with some light puzzles sprinkled throughout and plenty of fun little secret places to discover.

>>712863659 (OP)
The Sims 1

>>712874431
There really aren't many games as cozy as MML1
Kattelox is a miracle

>>712868865
Yeah, same. I'll never replay that fucking campaign again, but my save is well guarded for when I wish to dive in again, just to deliver stuff.

>>712863659 (OP)
Sonic Adventure. I'd like to live in Station Square or stay at its beachside hotel. Easily the comfiest city.

SA1 and Spyro 2 had my favorite hub worlds. Like second homes for my inner child.

>>712875204
It kinda sounds like you fundamentally dislike what Hypnospace is because what it does, it does exceptionally well and it also has some light puzzles and many many secrets
The writing and level of detail is phenomenal and its something that truly can only be done in the format that its in and I don't really see that format as a negative

>>712863659 (OP)
Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask

>>712875026
For some reason, the Spencer Mansion in the original has always been comfy to me.

>>712872930
Starfield has been surprisingly cozy for me

>>712877531
modded or vanilla?

>>712877127
>Ocarina of Time
goddamn right this is something every zelda past 64 can't recreate for some reason
I played OoT for the first time a few years ago. I grew up with a Playstation
I played OoT after already 100%'ing Twillight Princess, beating Wind Waker, playing most of BOTW
Its legitimately magical in a way I really did not understand prior to playing through it
There are so many 3D zeldas that vaguely feel the same, I figured OoT was just the start of that formula but its really unique in the series despite setting all of the standards and tropes.
Even really simple scenes like Saria saying goodbye are really haunting and impactful
>https://youtube.com/watch?v=Heciu9zmiOE
None of it is deep but its so effective and feels so special
I still need to play Majora's Mask and will do soon now that PC ports exist

>>712863659 (OP)
sidenote, picrel looks like home movies

>>712863659 (OP)
any game while knowing I don't have to go to work later or that someone might call me on the phone and ruin my day. I miss those days /v/ros

Herdlings was very cozy

>>712875685
I think Station Square is where I'll go when I die, whatever afterlife there is. Kino incarnate.

>>712878449
>finally get a day off work, take a break from the gym and no family obligations
>spend all day watching youtube videos and napping

>>712878550
I do this all the time because I'm exhausted. The past year and a half I've been forcing myself to play video games often and beat a ton but I still crash hard more often.

I mean it's 7am now, I've been awake working and all I think about is that I won't have enough time to get over it during my 2 days off. I'll be back working in the gulag in no time.

I'm gonna try sleep now. Stay strong /v/ros

>>712863659 (OP)
Anything from gen6

fantasy life i is the most recent cozy game I've gotten really into
I understand it lacks depth but its a hell of a time

>>712878017
Vanilla

>>712863659 (OP)
Stardew Valley

>>712863659 (OP)
Super Mario Sunshine.

>>712879637
I played this game for a week and a half straight and clocked like 82 hours into it, and then I burned the absolute fuck out after going ahead with finishing the narrative. Good game.

Outer Wilds
The Longest Journey
Syberia

Basically just lame libshit garbage.

>>712865576
I'd love to know the root of animosity between Nomiya and Mutou and what's the Nurse's story. He doesn't even get a name, but he's quite memorable. That VN was definitely a lightning in a bottle. No other like it can be made and there were numerous attempts.

>>712863659 (OP)
GTA III and Max Payne.

>>712878264
theyve been porting n64 to pc games. jsut someone has to do some coding but ojnce they put it into pc code, the putting it together has been figured out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtSDwwZqJ5A

exploring in minecraft for the perfect spot to build a village, building a comfy little village, populating it with villagers, trading with them to level them up, and fishing on the pier while you hear the workbench blocks working and villager HUHs.

>>712878017
Mods don't add coziness, it's all vanilla.

>>712873425
>>712873556
I have a new game to try out; loved Hypnospace. thanks lads

Look Outside

Vanilla wow leveling.
