All running on SSD, but I aim to run at 1440p and more than 60fps. RE4 looked better than most games and had buttery smooth performance, really important for the ‘speedrun’ type trophies

Just completed Cocoon, short game, excellent 9/10. Puzzles aren’t too hard but mind bending. It doesn’t get quite as tedious compared to other puzzle games once you solved it in your head and they break it down to smaller chunks.
Only had 1 difficult puzzle in the entire run near the end, because of a long section between revisiting a certain area.
In the documentary, they actually expand on that, they delayed the core game until the story and levels worked out and specially left Xen to the last as if they were not having fun before, they would have given up
The timing is either amazing or the electrical storm this afternoon fried something. I have the 2721dgf now it turns black for 2 seconds before resuming randomly. My other 4k dell monitor is fine...
“What’s more frustrating for those working on SCP, and the wider Starfield modding community, is how difficult it is to work with Starfield’s code without official modding tools and support. This isn’t helped by the delayed mod tools from Bethesda, which the company says are coming at some point next year.”
Just finished MFN, it had the same vibe, underlying horror as NFB, both focused on behind the scenes in television. Would be great if these 2 companies did references to each other the same way Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank did in the early days

I just played Morrowind for the first time. If you talk to someone not facing you, they will not rotate to look at you. This feature is still in Starfield
Say a simple (hours enjoyed playing)/(price of game) equation. How many hours (you enjoyed) per $ do you think is reasonable/expected? Or is there other criteria for you?...
R&D as an analogy, if the game does something new, creates a new experience then it’s worth extra because you can’t get it anywhere else until poor copies appear in a few years
Replayability and Flow. Length doesn’t matter look at AC games. But I could re run RE games or Respec new build in Elden Ring and feel the rush of making decisions on the fly and anticipating the dodge when an enemy could almost touch me
Beauty, same as movies I guess when you get to experience people’s creativity, not in overproduced generic stuff like Amazon or Apple TV shows or Asscreed, but when there is a good art direction. Good design beats out fidelity any time
If you wonder why public companies with billions in revenue can’t make a Steam competitor is because they can’t think long term, being a private company allows Valve to just work on what they want and grow If they need to
I could have seen it as a Stardew valley-esque Hobbit farming Sim, you start with simple farming, interacting with lore accurate villagers, fishing, cave gathering as Smeagol.
Then after a certain point of the game in a quest you find the Ring and your memories start getting hazy and your farming skill starts deteriorating and your cave gathering skills improve and the Ring blanks out part of your days and suddenly you find Deagols body and get flashbacks to what happened.
In the epilogue you start your usual day in the cave ‘bed’ instead of your Hobbit hole bed and you go gathering and meet Bilbo. Then cut to black

Replaying RE2 remake while waiting for Re4r DLC. Surprised to find a new mode there that I don’t have any memory of, it was added later I guess. Problem with being a patient gamer is that mod support stops and the game is updated and breaks it.
Tried the demo for System Shock remastered and finally started Jet Set Radio with the release of the spiritual successor. They did not age well for me, but I could see why they were popular back in the day
Don’t know when you were 13, but there was this great run from 7 to 10. Then 12-15 kinda flopped and for some reason 11 and 14 were MMOs. So there was a whole era where it was nothing to get excited about.
