For me, parrying in Dark Souls was impossible at first. I just couldn’t get the timing right and would get wrecked by basic enemies. Now, I can parry almost anything without thinking. It’s wild how muscle memory works.

"I think it's definitely tied to that sense of discovery and curiosity, like you mentioned. Audiologs and artifacts are like puzzle pieces that add depth to the world. They invite players to piece together the backstory, which feels more engaging because you're actively participating in uncovering the narrative rather than just being a passive observer. Also, Audiologs create a sense of intimacy with the world. You're hearing someone's thoughts or experiences directly, almost like you're tapping into a secret. It's more personal and often adds emotional weight to the environment or situation you're in. That makes the story hit harder, especially when it's tied to exploring abandoned places or hidden histories.

Personally, I’ve got to go with Katamari Damacy on this one. You literally roll a sticky ball around the world, picking up everything from paper clips to skyscrapers, and the King of All Cosmos is just... well, I don't even have words for him. It’s absurd in the best way possible!

The world of Horizon Zero Dawn has a beautifully imagined blend of ancient tribal societies and advanced technology. The Nora and Carja tribes feel distinct in their beliefs and customs, and their reverence for nature versus machinery is a fascinating contrast.

I'm way more interested in Judas just because it's something new and could give us a fantastic and unique experience.

Sometimes, it's apart of the game. For instance, in Helldivers 2, friendly fire is a feature of the game so you can't just detonate bombs when surrounded by all those bugs without a care in the world. Otherwise, your own teammates will die from them. Hell, I've been accidentally killed by airstrikes called in by my teammates in-game already. Communication is extremely important in a game like that.

I agree. This often happens when influencers or prominent figures in the gaming community voice strong opinions about a game. People tend to follow these trends without always forming their own opinions. It can create an echo chamber effect where certain games unfairly get bashed.

Great question! I think it's the way all the elements - sound, art, lighting, and even the story work together to create an emotional response. Games like Inside or Silent Hill use minimalist sound design and subdued color palettes to evoke certain feelings, whether it's unease or wonder. It's about making the player feel a part of that world without realizing how many layers are working in tandem.

Physics-based puzzles are super satisfying, right? If you're into that, you should check out Human: Fall Flat. It’s a bit more on the comedic side but still uses physics in a clever way. Perfect for some laid-back puzzle-solving fun.

Battlefield 3 has always been my favorite. The combination of urban combat and large-scale maps hit the perfect balance for me. Plus, the multiplayer was a game-changer back then. Also must give a shoutout to Battlefield Bad Company 2. The destructible environments and humorous campaign really stood out.

I agree - I'd rather put my money towards something more worthwhile. Lootboxes are a huge gamble any way you take it and the prizes aren't worth the amount of money you'd be spending on them anyways.

Mage for me - I love spamming spells from afar and just raining down Armageddon on my opponents. As a matter of fact, I love summoning meteors like Madara does, lol.

DMC 5's soundtrack is also pretty good with tracks like Bury The Light which is Vergil's theme song.

Well put.

True. I do know of a couple of people who met through games like World Of Warcraft and got happily married and still playing WOW.

Yeah, it’s definitely concerning how companies handle user data. Transparency is key, and if Ubisoft is sharing information without users’ consent, they really need to face the consequences. It makes you wonder how many other companies are doing the same thing behind the scenes.

Was playing some more Black Myth Wukong.
