VGR Member of the Month - January 2022 Nominations
StaceyPowers replied to DC's topic in General Chat
I nominate @kingpotato for his many thoughtful replies 🙂 -
I am very new to No Man’s Sky. The other day I was flying over a planet’s surface and looking out at the scenery, and I realized that if I did not stop and land at any specific spot that interested me, chances were I’d never find it again due to the sheer size of the game. So, in a way, every moment I decided not to land had a consequence, since I was skipping non-repeatable experiences. What are some other games that are like this?

What are some games that you specifically think should have prequels made? What would you want the prequels to focus on?
-
Even really solid sequels often get short shrift, and sometimes I wonder if it is because sequels, however good they are, tend to simply be less memorable than originals. Our first experience of something is novel and fresh, so it sticks in our minds longer. What do you think?

When you are playing a sandbox game, how do you typically decide on goals for yourself?

I know a lot of people feel the quests in No Man’s Sky are a bit tedious. I am wondering how much of the main quest line folks here completed before just going off and doing your own thing?

Could Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed merge together?
StaceyPowers replied to Reality vs Adventure's topic in Video Games
Watch Dogs Legion is my first Watch Dogs experience AND actually my first encounter with Assassin's Creed. So, I can't really give an informed opinion, but from what I can tell, the tie-in integrates really well. I think you could be right that a completely integrated game could work well! -
Question about Minecraft Bedrock Edition
StaceyPowers replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Video Games
Maybe you're right. My friend says I need this edition, but maybe she only thinks that because she runs a server? I want to be able to join her server, but not necessarily host one. -
Are there any authors of books that you think would do a great job working on video game development?

I've tossed most of my game boxes/cases by now. Price of living in a tiny space.

Anyone have good tips for fighting Big Sisters in BioShock 2?
StaceyPowers replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Video Games
Back against a wall ... ah, the obvious things I never think of. Thanks! 🙂 -
So, I want to purchase the Minecraft Bedrock Edition. But I cannot seem to find it listed as such. Is this identical to simply buying “Minecraft for Windows?”

Did you ever buy a game and resell it before ever playing it?
StaceyPowers replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I think people pick up things when they're on major discounts "just in case" sometimes, only to never really decide to play them. -
Video game you can't get your mind off at the moment?
StaceyPowers replied to Justin11's topic in Gaming Forum
If you're looking for a decent review, I recommend Shagger's review here: -
Video game you can't get your mind off at the moment?
StaceyPowers replied to Justin11's topic in Gaming Forum
I'm not sure what @Justin11 is referencing. I haven't written any game reviews. But I do sing the praises of TLOU and its sequel pretty often, so perhaps that is it 🙂 -
I often see players complaining that video games seem to be attempting to guilt trip them. There are some cases where I can see this argument—particularly if it is in the context of a game with a complete blank slate character and a very high degree of player agency. But in games with restricted player agency and/or set, developed characters, it seems a bit odd to me. The narrative may suggest the character should feel remorse for an action, but since it was not the player’s choice (even if the player played through the action), I don’t see how that is guilt tripping the player.

Are there any characters in video games that are wildly popular, but which you just don’t like at all?

Are there any characters that are widely disliked in video games that you like?
