How are you guys enjoying Forbidden West so far?(No Spoilers)
Shagger replied to NightmareFarm's topic in Gaming Forum
That pretty much sums up my initial thoughts. It is Horizon Zero dawn with every little thing being a little bit better. I still plan to write a full review, so I won't say much more, but it is a superb games so far. -
Enough of the homophobic jargon. Not that it's any of your business, but if @The Blackangel and @Rain Dew want to raise a family, adoption and insemination are very real and legitimate options, as it is with any same-sex couple, or even different-sex couple. If you have a valid point, make it, but otherwise get back on topic.

Telling people that a comedy is bad is very hard to explain because the statement "that's not funny" is so correct and essential, yet so vague and open to critique. in itself, and really all that people ask of a comedy is for it to be funny, so to hate a comedy because "It's not funny" is all you need, but it is so hard to explain in a credible matter.

I went to a catholic primary (elementary) school. The drumming of religious bullshit was there, but they also shoved me to the side because they didn't want to deal with my Asperger's syndrome. To be fair, the similar Catholic #hight school handled it much better, so maybe religion wasn't the issue, but I have truly lost trust in religion as a thing.

Can you enjoy a game without being crazy about its gameplay?
Shagger replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I'm actually with you on DA: Inquisition. The story is dynamic, the premise is interesting, the characters are well fleshed out, but the gameplay itself was so dull that it made the game a chore to play through at times. Dare I say, it might have been better in the style on Life is Strange or a Telltale game. In answer to the topic, I believe it is possible to get invested in a game without being crazy about it's gameplay, but when the games seals it's gameplay in manner that isn't that of an interactive narrative that has limited gameplay by design, it really poisons the experience is the gameplay is not fun. I've actually resisted answering this topic because I couldn't quite figure out my ambivalence about it, but now I feel I've figured out it's all about how the experience id presented. If the advert tells you it swims and walks like a pelican, to find it it's a duck would inevitable be disappointed. It wouldn't matter that a duck can fly, and may arguable be better, it wouldn't matter because that's not not what you payed for. -
Yes, they did, but 3 years later. If you want to play Forbidden West, I'd advise buying it on console because a PC release is a long ways off if it happens at all.

Well, this is my result @Heatman after repeating the test after having consumed well over half a bottle of Vodka, and honestly, either I'm really warded to the effects, incredibly lucky, or there is something seriously off with your test. I can see that you did your test on a phone, whereas I was using a laptop PC with a gaming mouse, so I find it likely some of the difference would come from the hardware, but not all of it. If that genuinely was the best you can do, I'd suggest there is something wrong. And just to be clear, the rate of my reaction may not have changed much, but decision making is also impaired by alcohol, and when doing stuff like driving that is as important, so DO NOT tell people people about this result and paint it as "Being drunk doesn't make that much of a difference", because is really does. Same with drugs. Don't drink or do drugs and drive or do anything of the sort under the influence.

When do you think these graphics will become the norm?
Shagger replied to NightmareFarm's topic in Gaming Forum
Not to mention it was very basic gameplay layered over what looked like very scripted cinematic scenarios. As impressive as those graphics were, even with AAA budgets developers being able to practically make good, dynamic games like that is years away. -
This gets me in the mood for experimenting. I was just about to settle down and have a few drinks. I just took the test sober and this is my result. Let's see how I do in a couple of hours.

My PS4 Pro just downloaded and Installed Horizon Forbidden West version 1.04. This must mean that the review codes reviewed some bugs that Guerrilla are already trying to patch them. Whilst that's reassuring and the original game had a good launch and reviewed fantastic post-launch support, I still find it surreal that a game i bought is getting patched and fixed before I've even had a chance to play it.
-
If you have a PS5, just buy the PS4 version as they are now offering a free next-gen upgrade.

Call of Duty is a ruthless money grab even when one buys it at a premium, I can only imagine how much worse it is on mobile as a free-to-play title. I played a little of COD WW2 when it was on PS+ a year or two ago, but other that that I haven't played a COD game since the PS2 era and I really don't feel like I'm missing out on much.

I checked abandonwaregames.net and Sid Meier's Sim Golf is available as a free download.

Welcome to VGR. Let me know if there is anything you ned help with.

I have pre-loaded Horizon: Forbidden West and will be ready to review within I'm assuming to be within a week or two. If there is anything you want to know about or even contribute too to this latest "Shagger Says", let me know as soon a possible.

I can't help but gawk at the irony. 30 years ago, people were complaining that video games "as kids toys" were getting too violent. And you know what, they were right. Video games were different back then, they were toys. It's not like today where they are regarded a they should be, as an entertainment media with each "expression" made for a specific audience. So, whilst you are wrong, there is no reason kids should be playing games rated for adults, but if they do the responsibility for kids playing games rated for adults lay solely with the parents.

The game is also available on PC through Steam.

I've said it before, but it's not the fact the games are difficulty that bothers me, it's that "trial and error" approach to the difficulty I can't stand. The controls in are too sluggish to make the challenge about still and the patterns, exploits and weakness's of enemies to cryptic to make it about strategy. Take a game like Horizon: Zero Dawn, you get all the information you could need about the enemies with fast, fluent controls with effective, purposeful actions, but they still manged to make a challenging game. What I've I've experienced with "soulsborne" titles is nothing like that. It's "try, then die" until you figure out exactly what the game wants you to do to get through this section. I'd even go so far as to say the games aren't actually challenging. All you need to do to win is dedicate enough time to multiple attempt until you succeed, so they're a test of patience as much as anything. And what is with the "no pause" nonsense? In Nioh, I wasn't even "allowed" to make adjustments to the graphics settings without coming under attack, it's bullshit. If people like those games, then good for you, but it is just not for me.
-
My personal experience with fans of "soulsborne" games has been dreadful. Elitist, arrogant. rude, unwelcoming and unhelpful. Can't say I'm surprised, though, even the games themselves are too arrogant to even let you pause. Who else but those ass holes would fall in love with those games?

Best game of the generation so far (PS4/XBox One Era)?
Shagger replied to DylanC's topic in Gaming Forum
That's a noble enough cause, even though it felt fairly clear to me (as well most of the rest of us) that the thread is about PS4/XB1 era titles because; The thread started in 2018, so there was nothing at all wrong with thread title. A forum the size of VGR would struggle to keep a conversation going about PS5 and XBox Series games going for 7 pages. Let's face it, there isn't much to talk about in terms of exclusive games for those consoles at the moment. This is kind of an extension to point 2 I admit, but this early into the lifespan of the PS5 and XBox series consoles, why would anyone make a thread in discussion of "best game of the generation so far" anyway? I just don't see anybody doing that. Despite your claim that "people are randomly posting games from both last and current gen", I have looked through the thread and I have not seen a mention of any game (current or upcoming) that isn't on PS4 and/or XB1. Even so, I do actually agree an edit to the thread title to make it clearer is good idea, but you're going about this all wrong. If you feel that there is something wrong and needs edited or addressed, you do not try to moderate the forum from the back seat, you report it, something you've been warned about before as it is against the rules; I know this wasn't exactly a "conflict", but you had something you felt needed addressed by staff, but instead of reporting it or mentioning it in the "Questions and Suggestions" sub-forum, you instead talk in the thread "the moderators should do this" and "moderators should do that". There are good reasons why brining up forum issues in such a manner is so heavily discouraged. We can't address things as quickly when they're brought up like this, and that's if we even notice the request at all. I only came across it myself by casually browsing through forum, so it was just as likely I wouldn't have noticed your request to have thread title edited, it was dumb luck and nothing more that I did. Just because you report a post, doesn't mean there's anything malicious about that post nor is it an attempt to get anyone in trouble. It's simply saying "can a moderator take a look at this because...". Honestly, it could be 90% of the reports we get from members are them reporting thier own posts because they made a mistake and need them edited or removed. I doubt the OP would hold a grudge over a request to have threat title updated. Still, @DylanC, I will edit the threat title on assumption you would have no objections, but if you do, let me know ASAP. So yes, I'll comply with the request and edit this threads title to make it clear that the discussion in about PS4 and XBox One games and invite either yourself or someone else to create a new thread at some point about PS5 and XBox Series consoles. All I polity ask in return is that you, @m76, please make such requests through the proper channels in future. -
I finally conceded, and have giving up on Resident Evil...
Shagger replied to Knight Plug's topic in Gaming Forum
You may not be trying to be racist, well the fact is nobody tries. You are or you aren't. You say Jill is supposed to be American, so why was the issue the colour of her skin? It's common for Americans to have a mixed race or Latino heritage. Not to mention fact that all real Native Americans are dark skinned, so whatever way one looks at it your logic it is deeply flawed. If you were telling the truth that the actress wasn't "American" enough, why not a go at the fact actress is English? No matter what way I look at it, it doesn't make any sense! And no, I'm not triggered, I'm concerned. And trust me when I tell you casually throwing the words "woke" and "triggered" around only makes you look worse. Enough of the insults and grow up a little if you don't mind. -
Fortnite is free-to-play anyway.

I finally conceded, and have giving up on Resident Evil...
Shagger replied to Knight Plug's topic in Gaming Forum
Let's make one thing perfectly clear. You are the one who pointlessly criticized the movie over people being the "wrong" race, but not only that, you didn't get the ethnicity of the target of your comment correct. You called a half black English woman an Hispanic As explained by serval people people, it really wasn't important what the ethnicity of the actress was anyway, but instead of acknowledging the error of the comment, you do that instead. Nobody said anything stupid there apart from yourself, so that little dig at everyone for calling out the error is not fair and not apricated. All we did was talk some common sense. However, if want want to ignore said advice then you fell free to do so, just don't insult us for it. -
Best game of the generation so far (PS4/XBox One Era)?
Shagger replied to DylanC's topic in Gaming Forum
Em... it's the time between the launches of new generation of console. I don't understand why that wasn't clear.
