Please Consider Disabling Your Ad Blocker to Support VGR
StaceyPowers replied to DC's topic in Gaming Forum
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here who does disable their ad blocker for VGR. As many of you know, I write for the site, so your support means a lot to me 🙂 -
How do you feel about the gaming convention of the silent protagonist? Do you like the protagonist to be silent as a rule, never silent as a rule, or silent in some types of games but not others?

I can’t imagine not making manual saves for games whenever games allow it—but I was surprised to learn that some people rely purely on auto saves. Does anyone here not use manual saves?

Anyone switch to Win 11 yet? How has it impacted your gaming experience?

Thank you, this is very insightful! -
So, I turned on my PS5 last night, and it showed the logo, and then the gray screen with the light beams, and then … nothing. It just sat there. I thought at first it was totally frozen. But the bottom menu still showed up. I tried switching accounts, and then everything showed up like normal. I switched back to my account, and everything was normal again. I can’t find reference to this bug anywhere. Anyone know what happened or how to prevent it in the future?

Usually, I like to play games with followers or companions. In fact, I normally max out my slots. But once in a while, I am without a follower for one reason or another, and do like not having to constantly keep track of NPCs and check to make sure they are okay, not glitching, not stuck, etc. Does anyone here have a strong preference for playing without followers? If so, what do you like about it?

I thought we should have a thread where we can share video-game related fashion and clothing. Someone showed me this line of Zelda-themed attire the other day: https://blackmilkclothing.com/collections/blackmilk-x-the-legend-of-zeldatm

Sometimes in games, there will be a rare occasion where you’ll approach an enemy faction NPC, and they will not be aggressive. They may engage in dialogue, and you might have an option to kill or spare them. What do you usually do, and why? Usually unless they give me a compelling reason to kill them, I leave them alone. I figure they’ve already shown themselves to be exceptional in some manner, and if they don’t get in my way, I don’t want to get in theirs.

When playing an MMO, what is your goal? Level up as high as you can? Explore as much as possible? Socialize? Gain political or economic clout? Just chill out and escape ordinary life?

Just saw there may be a System Shock TV show coming next year on a new streaming platform called Binge. https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/1197581-system-shock-live-action-tv-series

What was your record for most games played (not necessarily completed) in a year?

I’ve noticed that when people discuss “immersion,” they are not always referring to the same thing. Usually, when I use this word, I mean “feeling like I am present in the game universe, like I am actually there.” But sometimes I see people use it to mean “emotionally invested in the game universe.” When people don’t realize they are using the same word with totally different meanings, confusion and miscommunication can ensue. When you use the term “immersion,” what is its definition for you?

What game have you spent the most time playing in 2021? I am pretty sure for me it has been Oblivion.
