Yeah I don't remember when but this is also from the murderer sack of shit in the meme 'Oh right the murders'. Fucksitck shot up a movie theater and had brightly dyed hair and thought he was the joker.
Started? Oh sweet summers child, Sony has been making more in the life insurance raquet than anything else Sony makes for decades... and they are one of the few megacorps I still buy from.
normal people who don't want to be inconvenienced by genocide on the planet. I would call that an apathetic asshole but hey it's your internal narrative right.
So thats why all the servers are completely looted of daily and weekly challenge items... But uh yeah this is a crap game, Fallout 2 is the best fallout.
42, class of 2000, one of the original 'lazy millenials' I have always worked harder for less and be told be grateful or we will make it even harder. I don't have a moral to this story.
My theory is that because the real intention is 'to not see the thing but build suspense of the unknown' makes people think it will be easy because they are designing things not to be stared at intently but only flashed at the user quickly.
Greed of trying to find 'a sucker' someone who will empty the wallet for a flash and a trick. So you get allot of games where the chief motivating factor is trying to copy someone else's grift and land a whale.
I speak to enough dipshits at work spewing word salad, this is what I wanted with my escapism, people who follow the fucking conversation not some AI bot resume filling buzzwords about the plot.
The rich TOTALLY promise to pass it on, just like all the other things they have done for the world for future generations. -WINK-, that will shut them up right Media-dog? BARK! Good... good article...
My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...
Minecraft, stardew, factorio or satisfactory are good ideas. Fortnite's lego mode. Dragonquest Builders 2.
For stuck inside though and I've been there nothing beats those big open world games. Maybe Cyberpunk or BG3 or Yazuka or Fallout or Elder Scrolls are my personal faves but anything where you get to be the boss of the world like those are so fun when you can't roam or socialize much.
you go in the coffin next to shrek in by the sea and boom genderswapped. in elden ring spoilers you just look in the mirror to do it in the bedroom of the lady gathering hugs for a dragon.
I’m starting to find that HUDs in games clutter the screen and take away from being fully immersed in the game. I like games that force you to pay attention to what’s going on in the game and not numbers/markers on the edges of the display. What are some of your favorite games to play with no HUD? Here are a few of mine:...
Elden Ring and other fromsofts have the Hud disappear unless something actively happens with it sometimes. You don't see your health or mana unless you get hit or cast a spell.

I'm so sick of the late stage capitalism approach to art 'Well FOOD as an art lives on Tips, why not ALL ART live on constant hand reached out while dancing for approval?'
I appreciate the humor here and also feeling like I'm getting aware how hard it is to find honest feedback on anything game related with how heavy THE MARKET wants to push influence on the industry. The stuff about BG3 being THE WORST BECASUE IT HURTS BIG MONEY FEELINGS comoflauged articles was INSANE. Fucking Chat GDP ones shilling that little companies shouldn't be thought of nicely.
As a lifetime gamer (40s) staying away from 'service' games with an endless endgame really does help for self regulation. If there is 'a game' that you just zonk out on the gameplay loop thats the blurst. If I get a game I like it to be a game with a conrete ending now, there is a 'final' final boss, there is a dungeon meant to be the last challege. If it's just 'SUPER HARD AREA X WITH DROPRATE OF THING YOU WANT' fuck that. Especially if you hear game dev talk about having to design these kind of casino models really turns you off to them.
Unreal engine 5 always kind of had that trademark 'crawl through here to load the new area' annoyance and the current engine was made to be open world but yeah it felt really really strained so... we will see if the 2nd game ever really happens and if it's anything like they wanted in their own head this time either.
I love hearing about unique takes on game mechanics. Someone recently convinced me that limited inventories are kind of abused currently and that unlimited inventory systems would give more player choices.
Forced sections in AAA games. If you wander left or wander right or jump or sneak a direction it didn't want you get a mysterious death. Just make it a cutscene if you are going to pidgeonhole me so much assasins creed, or a cartoon movie.
