  1. 90% of the time I play MSFS2020, once you spend 40mins full attention and then you up in the sky for 4 hours flight there is nothing else to do but relaxe and watch YouTube while flying 😛 FPS games needs your full ull attention as you can't just stop to watch YouTube while bing killed
  2. Cant pinpoint this, so I'll make an example of it. Borderlands Pre-Sequel, building Felicity, Calibrating the lasers. They stay really weak no matter what playthrough, and they have to get 12 kills while you get battered around cause you're not supposed to kill any. And it chucks beefy enemies at you too.
  3. In the first Halo game, when you watch the playback from the marine's helmet camera and you first see The Flood. Being ten or so years old at the time, that freaked me out.
  4. Metal Gear Solid 2 is my favourite example of this and is a rare example of a game story that I don't think you could really pull off in any other medium. It's hard to explain why without getting into massive spoilers, but the ways in which it plays with player agency, the moments where it chooses to take control away from you, and even the points in which it deliberately tries to irritate and disappoint you are all very tightly tied to the narrative and themes in ways that aren't immediately apparent.
  5. I have not pickedup any thing, I have been looking and seen that red dead redemption 2 is only £13 and so that's the cheapest that I have ever seen it at 😛 All in all not going to buy games for the sake of being on sale and not playing them, that's money wasted
  6. The fact that Madden 23 didn't get an update until Week 10, is still plagued by the draft revert bug, the disaster that is NHL 23, and now this announcement tells us all we need to know about the sports division or whatever it is at EA.
  7. It does, even if you get the right mods and whatnot I feel that if this game was remade for a VR platform it would make history as the highlight of VR gaming as a whole, provided it was done well. I mean if it were to be possible and trust me there are countless reasons why it couldn’t, this would take close to 10 years to release. And that is the opinion of uneducated VR consumer. But I think that the release date would be way after GTA 6 has gotten old. But hey just a thought right?
  8. I thought the ending cutscene stuff was fine enough. Nothing incredible, and definitely handwavey and a little up its own ass about explaining things, but the basic conceit was decent enough for my tastes.
  9. Talion may spend the game hunting the sociopathic servants of Sauron, but the player cannot immerse himself among so many orcs, uruks and trolls without appreciating everything about them: their aesthetic, their manner, and, yes, even their anti-social personalities.
  10. DayZ you tend to explore over the same location as loot resawns and if you explore more you know the great places to think about first, then after awhile once you know the map you get bored. DayZ is fun but something that I do not do much anymore till something new comes
  11. So much money going for them, worse part people do spend far more on there cats or dogs then for themselves or kids 😜
  12. Nope, they more into doing new then old unless it's that heavy on the player base that they do a remasted. Even so the online is sOooooooooooooooooooooo Dead
  13. Next we going to see games and apps for your pet dog to play while you are looking at it weired 😛 WHAT THE FLIP - Why....

    Xbox Controller issues

    I've not had any problems with mine as regards the Xbox PC edtion, and they are in constant use. I would start looking for reasons they could be going bad, electrical discharges, power lines, too much cheeto dust, setting the controller down in such a way that the joystick is constantly tilted etc. Only time that I had to replace my last was the cable just pooped after five years, Then gone wireless
  15. I usually like/okay with Razors designs but this is just ugly and unnecessary big. That's my thought anyway 😛
  16. Exploring is great the first time.Not so much the next. Make sure that players do not have to double back that often, or else things become slow very quickly. Also, someone mentioned exploration difficulty, which I agree with. However, it does not need to be danger. I remember Skyward Sword island exploration fondly because it took some skill and practice to get to some of the small islands.
  17. Well, sony and many others look at cost of what they get at the end of things if it does on there side of the good.
  18. It doesn't cost to much to get your hands on Portal and give it a try and get thinking and take your time. I have got bridge portal that I never got to able to play and do and yet I have watch people playing the game on Twitch many years ago

    Theif series

    I think you really gotta go back and play Thief 1-3 to understand why thief (2014) is so hated. It’s a passible stealth game (with stealth mechanics better than dishonored I’d say) at times and there is fun to be had. But the characters, depth of gameplay, lore, worldbuilding, gameplay mechanics, art direction, technical prowess, level design, story etc. are vastly better in the OG trilogy.
  20. No, gaming has definitely moved to the easier side. It's not a trend. "Old-school hard" games are now a niche genre. In reality, I think most people actually don't care for punishingly hard games. They want a challenge, but not a controller-throwingly frustrating challenge. The only reason those kinds of games were made was to eat up quarters in arcades so that people wouldn't beat them too fast.
  21. I have no problem with changing stuff in remakes as it is a new game at that point. But look a this video
  22. A Short Hike, maybe? I have to admit, rainworld, night in the woods, and endling don't have a lot in common from where I'm standing so I don't have a clear idea of what you want. Hall of the wild is amazing if you all into that but not as a shark or any other organism
  23. I would love to have Grandia but the Saturn version never was released outside of Japan so I doubt they’d choose it. As for other games, I would want the Panzer Dragoon Trilogy, Nights into Dreams, Sonic Jam, Resident Evil, and Tomb Raider.
