Bought the quest 2 and looking for stuff to try
Was wondering if there were any free games
I really enjoy playing video games (especially Minecraft, Terraria, and RuneScape), but guys like Hamza and Andrew Tate make it seem like video games are just a foolish and childish waste of time, am I wrong for still enjoying thinks like that?
Like why does it matter what I do with my time as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, right?
Is it bullshit that I only get 10 hours a week of screen time. Tik tok and every other app included as well as video games. Also I have to log when I get on and off, not to mention that I have to go to bed at 9pm every night. I have sports until 7-8 every night, and on weekends I just want to chill and have “me” time. Am I in the wrong for thinking it’s unfair or am I in the right
Curious if anyone knows the time frame to get help.
I was looking around trying to find any kind of skating game that would let me build a skater in Unity or Blender or something and then import them into the game. I'm just getting wild ideas for some videos to make for my friends and this is one of my major weird ones that I would really like to do. Even if it's an older game, I would love to be able to build a model and throw it in.
Hey guys just wanna throw this out to you.
I am currently torn between some games I wanna play and they are currently discounted on steam. I have the option of buying Nioh 1 and Halo the master Chief Collection or I buy Path of Exile 2.
So for reference on the one hand i would get multiple hours of good combat and story content with nice shooter experience but on the other hand I would get the fresh feeling of a new arpg where I can sink my teeth into and work on perfecting the build and min maxx the hell out of it.
I love me some action combat fighting games like Sekiro and the vibe of Nioh is really exciting and also I haven't touched a Halo title in my whole life, yeah I know shame on me but with this collection I could see if the hype about this genre is well worth it.
But for the other hand there is the arpg genre. I grew up with diablo 2 and spend hundreds of hours in it with so much fun because I had nothing other to game because poor little me had literally no single other game than this and I loved every second of it playing. Fast forward to now I have played both Path of exile 1 and Diablo 4 till now and then suddenly there is a new player in town with a huge amount of content where I can see my little me jumping around happily with just the pure fun of enjoying a fresh new start of an arpg.
So my question to you guys is, if I should wait for POE 2 to release in free to play and experience the first time ever in a halo title and scratching my teeth into Nioh or if I should try out POE 2
I’m looking for RPG recommendations that scratch the same itch as games like Dragon Age: Origins, Fallout: New Vegas, The Elder Scrolls series, Cyberpunk 2077, KOTOR, Mass Effect, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, and Deus Ex. The common thread I love about these games is the high degree of player freedom, impactful choices, and morally gray decision-making that can seriously alter the world, story, or NPCs around you.
My main criteria:
I’m open to both AAA and indie recommendations, older or newer games. Any hidden gems out there that fit the bill? Let me know what you suggest! Thanks!
so i just finished watching playthroughs tlou 1 and 2 and it was so so so good and im craving more. i cant play game bc i dont have a pc or console so yea. i tried watching rdr2 but someone said its better to play than watch and it was kinda boring to watch so im js asking if there are any other really good story games that are great to watch. thank you!!
I remember that as a child I played a car game with my brother, we had both PS1 and N64 and I don't remember which platform we played that particular title on. The game in question had a dark map with some colored neon lights around, I think there was a race to win but we always ended up chasing each other and destroying each other, I searched online and the only title they recommend is destruction derby but I can't find the map in question, please help!!
I wanna play these 5 games:
Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within Prince Of Persia: The Two Thrones Prince Of Persia Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
I seen on PSNprofiles that some of the trophies are a bit buggy. What I wanna know is, is it possible to still get all 5 platinum trophies? Is each game doable? And is it fairly easy to get the 5 platinum trophies? Give me any advice or tips you got for any of the games I’ve mentioned. Please help! Tanks.
I'm trying to find a game. I can't locate it for a long time. The game begins with a scene showing several hospital beds, moving from one person to another, and the last one wakes up, and we play as him. Then he finds a knife and kills aliens. Along the way, he discovers various weapons and even a spacesuit with unique weaponry. The game is about space, aliens, and is a shooter. I played it between 2006 and 2011; I'm not exactly sure. It was sold on discs, and it seems like there were 2 or 3 of them that had to be loaded sequentially. Also, on the cover, there's a woman in a half-sitting position holding a weapon and dressed in a tight black armor. It's not Doom, Dead Space, or Alien vs Predator.Also it's not Halo,Gears of war and Pariah.
So i boutgth gta online but i want to refund it is there a way to refund it if i did't play it but has downloaded it (on playstation store) or other way
How do you know it's time to move on / stop playing a game and play something new / something else? (This is ignoring finishing the game, as obviously your most likely going to move on from a game after finishing, but that can sometimes become a obligation, a chore, etc.)
I feel like I don't know when is the right time to move on from a game whether to keep playing when I'm starting to become bored, or just play something else mainly, obviously a logical answer would be when your not having fun anymore, but sometimes I feel like I am having mixed thoughts of fun, game feeling like a chore, game being boring etc
And how do you even pick something else to play / try when it's time to?
When should you even try a new game
I also feel like I'm playing some games out of just habit, or just for the sake of finishing them.
Not every game is going to be worth seeing to the end, but when to stop is what I'm curious about
I was personally reading through a post on a game I was trying earlier today and I was curious about what the true goal is, then I came across some post, had a read through the comments and one person said it's a really satisfying game, but they learnt how important it is to assess what your looking for in a game and how to know when it's time to put it down
What do you say?
I'm looking for a new game for my laptop. So far my favorite have been the Tails Noir series, Fallout New Vegas, Conan Exiles, Aground and everything by Amanita Design. For New Vegas & Conan I needed an external mouse (I have touchpad) but otherwise they were great. I couldn't really run Conan online to do the PVP stuff but its a solid game. I'm looking for something with some story that will take some time and run on minimal requirements.
I tried looking up online RPGs but a lot of the games recommended by articles are actually match 3 type games which isn't what I'm looking for.
Any recommendations?

Hello everyone I am trying to find Games where collecting is the main aspect. Kinda like completing the Pokédex in Pokémon. I love collecting things and I can’t seem to find any games like that - a lot of games seem to have this as kind of a side hustle (like Pokémon lol). Maybe you know some secrete gems, thanks in advance!
Preferably games focused on physical abuse ( such as punching, stabbing, whipping, skinning, etc ), that are graphic enough to be considered disturbing ( think of PETA propaganda games but with a more realistic logic ).
Psychological abuse is welcome too, but what I really need is a game in which you can beat the crap out of an animal, make it bleed, make it cry, make it soil itself or cower like this even.
When I was growing up, Red Faction and Mercenaries 2: World in Flames were my favorite. Lighthearted action games that didn't take themselves too seriously. The only modern alternatives that I am know are Just Cause & Saints Row - are there any other good games that encapsulate the vibe of the early 2000s chaos action shooters like Mercenaries?
Like the titles says what are your top 3? From Mario to Call of Duty and everything in between. What stands at the top for you?
I remember playing some car game on what I believe was the miniclip site back like maybe 8-10 years ago? Maybe more.... It had cars that looked a bit like hot wheels cars and there where halfpipes and all sorts of things you could drive on from what I remember. What I can also vaguely remember is that it had a logo similar to the 8 ball pool one, the one with the ball and flames? I might be misremembering though. Does anyone have any idea on how I can find it? I've downloaded flash point but it doesn't have a miniclip specific section. I'm not even 100% sure it was on miniclip. Thanks in advance.

What I mean by similar is that it has cool gun gameplay, you get to explore and has a good story. Also, I have played Tomb Raider already.
I've never played FPS games besides the two half-life games. Are there any popular FPS games (halo borderlands titanfall etc.) that would be easier for someone less skilled in the genre?
My mother and I have been bonding lately over puzzle games like Dr Mario, Tetris, Columns 3, Panel de Pon, Tricky towers, and Puyo Pyuo. Does anybody have any more puzzle games recommendations where two people play against each other? Not picky about how old or new the game is.

If I aspire to become a certified gamer, where should I start? I want to gain familiarity with typical controls and techniques that I feel like all the people who game already know when they start a new game. I like watching other people play first person shooters, so any games that are accessible enough to help train those skills? Other types of games are fine too, as since I've never gamed, I'm not sure what I like yet. Thanks!
I have like 29 euros and im trying to get my money worth from my 1400 euro pc.
Hey guys, first post here so I appreciate anyone taking the time to help.
One of my favorite games is neverwinter nights 2, I particularly like getting people and building up my castle area and completing those missions for your base.
Are there any similar base building games where you can work to prepare for a battle or bring in new helpful residents kinda in the same vein?
Thank you!
