In real life I do one thing, but in videogames, I do the opposite.

For example, in real life I prefer smaller more maneuverable vehicles, but in videogames, i gravitate toward giant monstrous slabs of metal with tons of hit points that take 20 minutes to turn around.

Yall got any contradictions like that?

What bit of a trailer made you buy it immediately?

I put Deep Rock Galactic immediately on my wishlist once I learned it exists, idk drilling in 3D voxel stuff is awesome, while it's not comparable to minecraft. Lighting these caves etc... But my friends were not invested, so it was on my wishlist for long. What actually sold it was one of the constant Updates: Building Pipelines. I thought it would be a new Dwarf/Character, but it was actually a new mission type. But for some reason, I immedietely said "f**k it, I'm gonna buy it and play it a alone!". Eventually, I convinced some friends to play with me, but random teammates are useful as well.

First Gaming PC, thoughts?

Any other games with soundtracks that bring warmth to a dead or dying world?

I’m currently playing through Stellar Blade and I’m really digging the soundtrack. It’s not just the Nier inspired songs from Monaca, but the whole soundtrack brings a sort of warmth to the desolate landscape you’re engaging with. Both Nier games had this, as well as Dark Souls to an extent with the Firelink Shrine music. I was wondering if anyone else had any shoutouts with games with similar OSTs?

Are there any good games you know with dead worlds?

Triple AAA works but I'm looking for a more indie experience. Are there any games that have worlds that feel long abandoned or have never harbored life? It's a facinating concept for me and I want to explore it more.

What game surprised you the most with its gameplay, story, or overall experience, and why?

For me, it is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Its rich storytelling, immersive world, and compelling characters make it a standout experience.

What about you? Thanks

God I love Mafia 3

So I've recently started new playthrough of the game (my second ever) and just reached the point where all DLC chapters are unlocked (after recruiting Burke, Vito and Cassandra). At one point I'm being chased by the cops (they will ALWAYS shoot first and don't even bother arresting you) and I was right by one of the racket headquarters locations in River Row and I think to myself "oh as soon as I get in they will either forget about me or try to get inside and kill me". The literal second the cops fired the first shot you just see 15 or 20 of your guys come out blasting the cops with Mossbergs and Tommy Guns. But the thing is cops in Mafia 3 are the same as in GTA 5 so they'll keep respawning and once you leave the blue circle area they'll never find. So after 5 minutes you just see about 30 cop cars all blown up blocking the entire road and the traffic jam of about 20 cars in both directions.

You can spend 1 week in a world from any game without any risk of harm. What are you picking?

You can explore it by any vehicle of your choosing.

Squid Game

What if they made a stealth/action-adventure/puzzle-horror Squid Game game?

I was thinking model it after Heavy Rain. You get to play 4 or so different storylines. And one of you is the equivalent of the old man in the show, meaning you’re playing as the “bad guy” but don’t know it, just like in HR. And add some real stakes by making it so your characters can actually die for good, also like in Heavy Rain.

Character (or their equivalents) you’d play as:

Seong Gi-hun (protagonist), Hwang Jun-ho (the detective), Front Man (“villain”), Oh Il-nam (the real villain), Kang Sae-byeok, Deok-su (gang leader and antagonist)

Mass Effect Legendary Edition now $6 on Steam!

For those who haven't played it yet, you get 3 full remastered games plus all their DLC for $6.

So if you've been holding off on this great story, this would be your time to get it.

You should check your STEAM reviews!

I discovered a ,for me personally, deeply concerning situation on Steam. And how negative reviews, that really should be revisited by their writers, could hurt small and medium studios

I found after a quick search many negative reviews that are made at a low number of playtime but when you check the current playtime of these players, it is many hours higher. In parts in the thousands, but they still have not changed their reviews. Even when the problems, like bugs or glitches are already patched and not actual anymore.

So i call on all of you to revisit your negative reviews and control if they are still true.

Especially the reviews you made on indie or double a games. I personally dont care about negative reviews by big studios like ubisoft or blizzard. These companies have a market research and ad department that are big enough to sell their games to customers. But small studios dont have this luxury and are, more or less, at the mercy of steam reviews.

I myself had to delete a review that i made a long time ago and forgot to revisit.

Thanks to all of you who put in this short amount of work.

Edit: bad grammar

Starfield modding groups?

EDIT: This is NOT the post to bash SF. Go do that somewhere else. This post is specifically for talking about large modding groups being formed for standalone projects based on the SF engine. If you have little self control and must reply without answering the question, please move on.

Has anyone heard of any modding groups forming up in anticipation to the CK release, specifically with a standalone focus?

There is a lot of work to be done even without the CK such as script writing, narration, modeling, texture creation, etc etc.

Stellar Blade is so Much Fun

I have been craving a game that has some slick character action game bullshit with Sekiro's orgasmic parry style game, and this game scratches that itch better than I could have hoped for.

Just parrying has offensive options you can use depending on what buttons you press up on parrying, making an amazing back and forth with the bosses. While the regular combos are by no means of the same quality as games like Nioh/DMC, they are still fun and flashy enough to try and use in combat.

I do wish the story was better, but goddam I am having a blast with this game.

Most AAA games are starting to look graphically boring

This is mostly for the triple A titles. I feel like most games nowadays are to realistic looking. And it's the default. It's honestly starting to get really boring. There's no real artistic inspiration. No real style. It's mostly a, Lets create the most hyper realistic game we can make. And some are in IRL settings or inspired by real life settings. It just feels like devs are trying to make versions of real life rather than making a game game

Mega Man X.

Gosh I love this series. Playing the first one as a kid was riveting and I’m proud to own all three for the SNES. My local video store went out of business and I copped them all 🥹. How does everyone feel about this series?

Biggest gaming pet peeve…

For me it’s when I start a game and it gives me 10-15 minutes mandatory exposition before any gameplay.

I love story, don’t get me wrong, but I want to sample the gameplay asap when I start a new game.

RE: "RE: "In Defense of Dark Souls 2"" - Movement

In his reviews about Dark Souls 2 MauLer spread a lot of misinformation to artificially make it look worse. In this video I'm debunking a lot of his false claims in regards to movement.
