It’s a good game either way

Oh, I thought he said a dirty word and you bleeped it out. Haha

For Dead Island I got a suitcase with a hotel room key, a zombie hand bottle opener, and a zombie hula girl.

For GTA V I got a bank bag, Los Santos hat, and a massive map of the city.

It would be a good start for OP for sure. It may not feature characters from an anime but I mean..you’re right the game is basically an anime haha.

Alduin statue and art book for Skyrim,

Ezio model from Assassins creed 2

Alan Wake that looked like a book that had a book set after the events of the game about someone who investigates what happen in Bright Falls

I loved ESO dearly but I had a couple problems. First one is that I have kids and a job, so I couldn’t stay up late or use a mic at night. I lost out on a lot of content like trials (12-man raids) and pvp in groups.

The second problem was that I found it highly addictive. I would play it and kindve forget about the word around me. I found that I was less involved with my children, less involved with keeping up with the housework and more stressed out in general. Especially if something in game wasn’t going my way…my escape wasn’t much of an escape

It was shooting to be a souls game and that's what it is idk why people got offended by that

I won't do ten for each, just some of my favorites, for the NES I would recomend the first Batman game, it's sunsoft game with outstanding music and a really fun gameplay
although it is a really hard game, SNES A Link to the Past is always fun, GB/GBC Pokémon Gold is my favorite from the GB era, PS1 is Tenchu Stealth Assassin, really cool stealth game, specially if like Metal Gear and ninjas, finaly for the PS2 Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks or the Ben 10 games both are really good couch co-op games

Saying that though, bioshock is a good play, we managed so she might enjoy the chaos, never know.

Series X. PlayStation seems to get greedier every year which is depressing. For example, Xbox you can subscribe to their game pass (which is a great streaming service compared to PS Plus tier system), but I’m a hard copy guy. You can also play old games on the series X (360 and even original Xbox games). PlayStation is only backwards compatible with PS4 and if you want to play older games you have to subscribe to their service to just rent or play. Xbox if a game shows on game pass and you’re not on the subscription you have the option to buy that game and own it forever compared to PlayStation where once you let your subscription lapse you’re kinda hosed. I will say PS has some phenomenal exclusives, but that’s about it in my opinion. Xbox app is way better. You can send links to friends of recently captured gameplay so it doesn’t come across all blocky. They also have a fun tier system each month for gamerscore achievements. I’ve always been a PS guy but had recently switched with this PS5 and the greed they are instilling with their games and platforms. I see a bright future for Xbox. They are just now starting to come out with great exclusives (High on Life, Grounded, you can even play Goldeneye 007 & Age of Empires now!) aside from Gears, Halo, Forza, etc. which are phenomenal games as well! This is purely my opinion and meant to just help this dude figure out what he wants. Whether you’re a hardcore PS guy or Nintendo, it’s just an opinion. Have a good one!

I'm not 100 percent sure what's available on steam deck I've never really looked but if she's into fps then dead space, prey, or dishonoured.

Death stranding is a great play once you get past the start and that gets you used to the double sticks fast, as you have no choice.

Or if she wants a bit of an adventure I picked up ni no kuni wrath of the white witch remastered and that was brilliant, by studio ghibli too so the story is very well done and presented. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it and I'm old enough to remember studio ghibli old stuff being released. I even picked up ni no kuni 2 after it.

Or final fantasy series, they're all pretty forgiving.

Hard to decide lol, maybe give her some quick views on everything and let her see.

Zelda series on switch, both great. Or super Mario all stars, they were all decent, luigis mansion.

I dont think an action game is the way to go

I think Assassin's Creed would be awesome with the Nemesis System. Sadly WB can't be arsed to do anything with it since copyrighting it. Screw them.

Indeed, Captain Quark is a legend lol

PS2 is my all time favorite, here are my personal recommendations (only games I played):

Final Fantasy X, Katamari Damacy, Resident Evil 4, Burnout 3 Takedown, Okami, God of War, Midnight Club 3, X-Men Legends 2, Fatal Frame 2.

Bugsnax is a fun, slow paced FPS that can help.

Check out a uninterruptible power supply. That will help with the power outages.

Looks pretty good. Could be something you come back to once a year and see how much progress you make.

I absolutely loved the first 3 ratchet and clanks! The replay value is so much higher than many other games. The wacky weapons and silly humor was always great!

You might try games with a set camera perspective for a bit so she can get used to doing more with the controller first before having her learn camera controls. I started my GF off with a narrative game as well (Until Dawn) then we played through Diablo 3 (the PlayStation version) so she could get the hang of something a little faster with the controller without having to worry about the camera but can still use right stick to dodge.

Hasn't gaming journalism as a whole been outwardly adversarial to their audience since gamergate? You're just now done with them?

Hmm. I’m not too sure what’s pc exclusive then, I only have pc I don’t console game anymore haha. My bad friend and good luck!

Oh my God.

It's breathtaking.
