for me it's RE4, but this question came to me as I was demolishing a backpack battles run last night (pyromancer OP)

especially with mods

For me personally it's Morrowind. I would have to make supply trips mid-dungeon crawl to sell all the stuff.

Deus Ex comes in a close second.

yeah it's diablo

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

Diablo 2, you want to pick everything up but you can't!

[-] KimJongFun@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

Baldurs Gate 1/2, and KOTOR gets an honorable mention for worst inventory interface in history

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

Path of Exile, Diablo 2, and System Shock 2 in roughly that order

Came here to post this

[-] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

Great game: Minecraft (Inevitably end up with an inventory full of cobble at the end of each mining trip. Mods like AE2 with remotely accessed storage solutions save the day.)

Shit game: pokemon legends arceus (the inventory is too small and upgrade costs are too high, one of the many things wrong with that wretched turd of a game)

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

i still like how the default trash bin in minecraft is a pit of lava that you vomit ur shit into

Ultima 6

You find a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a club, a spear, a spear, 3 gold, a spear, a ring, a ruby, and a spear

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

Don't forget how you have to pick up everything on top of the ruby before you can pick up the ruby!

[-] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 9 points 5 months ago

Diablo 2. Had so so so many mule accounts!

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

System Shock or any games where you have to play inventory Tetris. It’s surprising how common that was in games for a long while.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

That was why my first thought was Diablo

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Honestly I kinda miss inventory tetris in genres where scarcity makes sense. Like, I'd never accept it in Minecraft; but games like Resident Evil? Absolutely. You could probably cut down heavily on the action heroism vibe by massively cutting down how many weapons and how much ammo you can carry at any given time across horror gaming, but nobody wants to do that because everyone in the horror sphere's chasing COD player money and COD players can't handle not being armed to the teeth in any function or facility.

~~I fucking hate what Resident Evil has done to horror~~

Escape from Tarkov

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

RE4 is the first thing I think of, then the old infinity engine games

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

No man's sky. I want to love that game but I hate managing my shitty ass small inventory.

[-] jaywalker@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

How long has it been since you've played? They did an update to the inventory that improved it a good bit. Plus if you're on PC, you can always just edit your save file to make the inventory bigger

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

edit my save file

pass i'll just play something good

[-] charly4994@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

Surprised nobody mentioned Terraria, especially old Terraria before they added a bunch of QoL improvements to crafting where you'd have to find which small chest holds your iron bars mixed with the million and one pieces of loot you refuse to let go of.

[-] Skeleton_Erisma@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

The long dark

Carry too much and you'll be a slow and easy snack for wolves and bears

I think it was Torchlight 1 or two that had this cute animal companion you could send away to sell your stuff when in a dungeon? I want that in every game. Selling wasn't instant, you still had to click on items to sell and wait for the animal to come back, but it was such a nice, well thought out feature.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 5 months ago

Deus Ex, Diablo 2, World of Warcraft

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 7 points 5 months ago

Guilds wars 2. Players don't call it "inventory wars" for nothing.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Project zomboid

the game of filling trash bags with loot, putting the trash bags in the trunk of a car, or having a backpack full of bags of bags of loot

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Men of War Assault Squad 2 / Gates of Hell: Ostfront. It's like if Company of Heroes was a squad RPG with full inventory management/looting/vehicle capture. By the end of a campaign my infantry squads are superheroes with a mixed bag of all the best weapons from WW2.

[-] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Subnautica, because it has the worst inventory/crafting system I've ever played and inventory management is such a big part of the game. Most of the other games people are mentioning don't have crafting and resource collection as a central part of the game, so the effect is lessened. Gathering and synthesizing resources in Subnautica is so bad that it hinders me from replaying what is an almost perfect game otherwise.

Minecraft's inventory system is actually pretty good and seems well integrated into the game, so it isn't actually as noticeable.

System Shock 2

Just let me carry every single thing

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Kinda obscure but I thought of NEO Scavenger, a post-apocalyptic survival game where you wake up with nothing and have to scavenge around for a plastic bag before you can carry more than what will fit in your hands.

Sweet Home NES (only because I finished a play through of a fan translation last week)

[-] DengistDonnieDarko@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

God, what a good game. I remember playing it emulated on a PSP many years ago. If you get a chance, watch the movie, it's incredibly cheesy.

Neverwinter Nights 1

terrible terrible system for a pretty good game that i played way too much

[-] Emanuel@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 5 months ago

Nethack. Though I've been playing D2R nonstop recently, Nethack came to mind firstly

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Diablo 3, Minecraft, or Skyrim. Early-game No Man's Sky is a runner-up.

Edit: and Valheim. Goddamned fucking Valheim, every time I go into a crypt to gather iron and max out my carry weight and have to figure out WTF I'm hauling back to my safe house with the smelter, all while dodging slimes, skeletons, and draugr.

[-] peppersky@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

recently it'd have to be Baldur's Gate 3 since that didn't have the ability to view your companions inventory while in camp without having to invite them into your party at launch.

Forklift simulator.

[-] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

Farming simulator. I WILL drive my road train of 10 grain trailers to the mill and you can't stop me. Just don't ask me to backup.
