Gaming

I really love those moments when you turn a corner. But you have to double back. And somehow the path behind you has totally changed. But not like in a horror kind of way. Or you look at a picture. And walk towards it. But the picture is actually a door. And the tree turns out to be the hallway from another perspective.

Stuff like superliminal or the stanley parrable. Where reality is just another obstacle to overcome. Stuff that makes you feel like you are in a dream.

For me its definately "Outer Wilds". One of the best games that Ive ever played.
But I cant really play it again. So Im bothering my friends to play OW while Im watching :)
Any other unreplayable games?

While extremely linear and fairly short, this Starbreeze Studios-developed FPS was quite a looker back then ... and it played well, too. In fact, Syndicate was ahead of its time in terms of gameplay. Being able to "breach" your opponents to cause damage/modify behavior eventually became a staple of modern shooters like Rage 2 and action-RPGs like Cyberpunk 2077. Syndicate's art style, despite being 11 years old, remains current outside of the excessive bloom. It's a beautiful, beautiful game.

It shouldn't be too expensive (or too much trouble) to take the PC version and make sure it runs at 4K/60 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X -- including HDR support, of course. As far as I know, EA owns the IP so remastering Syndicate should be a no-brainer. An exciting 7-hours single player campaign with fun gunplay and plenty of eye-candy -- what's not to like?

Maybe survival shooters that let you take over bases and shoot Ai.

Stuff like far cry and stalker maybe?

Halo infinite kind of hard that feel to explore a big open space and shoot stuff

I have played boarderlands

Like the title says, what are some games that you've been playing for a long time, or have put down and come back to a long time later, and are still finding new things/hidden things in the game?

I'm not a very story focused person I just like shooting things.

I'm also gonna finally check red dead redemption 2.

But I'm not sure if it's just the sequel of this game I've seen mixed reviews of?

Looking for very long games to play

Anyone remember the 2005 king Kong game? Back then it was simple you either play as Jack driscol in first person using either spears and bones, or weapons the luger, shotgun, Thompson, and a bolt action sniper, or you play as kong one of the top in the food chain second only to the vastasouras rex the gameplay was stellar and the controls were a bit wonky but it gave us a TRUE king Kong experience from open world first person shooter via dinosaurs, to third person Kong action rescuing ann or killing the bats, and Vrexes that 2005 title is the one we needed a remastered to not the new "kong skull island" it is pure nostalga to play and explore the world of skull island the levels and detail to the 2005 version was extremely well done and tended to a rare 10/10 game

Everytime I start a game that has a story or progress or something like that (and I mean not games that are easy to get into and not complicated at all like fps games but I mean something more complex) and don't play it for some time I have such a hard time to play it again.

I mean an example is stardew valley or botw or even a minecraft world I started I can (these are just examples I remember off the top of my head there are more). I haven't played stardew valley in such a long time and I payed money for it and I know how amazing of a game it is but I can't get back to it becauseI feel overwhelmed or something and that I can't remember where I am or what I'm supposed to do, so I feel like just restarting but I don't really want to do that also because I have progress.

Does anyone else have something similar and know how I can get myself to come back to the games that are like this?

I got mine in 2017, and there are many reasons why I want to get it, on top of the obvious model upgrades. First of all, my 2017 one is quite old, the stand is broken, the micro SD slot doesn't work (meaning I'll automatically get double the storage from upgrading), all of the joycons have stick drift, and it also just 'feels' old and uncomfortable to use, all of which is due to lack of proper treatment and care, considering I share it with youngsters in my family.

That brings me on to my next point, being that this means I will not only have a fresh and new switch to enjoy all the new features and feel like I did back in 2017, but it also means I will have my own switch to myself. I can link this to my PC setup, connecting both audio inputs to my headphones by turning the switch audio into a microphone that plays through my PC audio output. Overall, it'll just feel real nice to have my own switch, that I don't have to share with anyone on holidays when I don't have my PC as entertainment, and won't get worn down and ruined like my current one due to the lack of proper care.

The new features, like the stand, amazing screen, battery life, and storage, along with the extra benefits I get from not having broken and old parts of a Switch*, altogether makes this purchase seem a whole lot more beneficial than just replacing a new version of the original switch, because this is basically just like replacing a phone that has been worn down after 6 years, and I get enhanced features on top of that.

The only concern that I had was that I may regret it when the Switch 2 supposedly will release next year, but then again, I don't need to buy that straight away, until a lot of the newer exclusive nintendo games rely on the Switch 2's upgraded hardware release. The only other factor stopping me from buying it was the fact that I want to upgrade my graphics card in my PC from my 2060 to a 4070, double the cost of replacing my switch with the OLED, but I figured that I should still be able to afford that PC upgrade halfway through next year, and I don't desperately need the gpu upgrade right now so I should be fine to wait until then, whereas the OLED will be more useful for me now considering I'm about to go on holiday for 3 weeks without my PC, where I will use the switch in handheld a lot more, and the oled will improve that experience.

Starfield of course

They are devices like the steam deck which play just like a console.

Consoles and lower end pc’s are getting closer and closer in price.

Console online play is rising in cost with no extra benefit.

Is it better graphics, or just an excuse to replay a classic?

I never bought into any remakes, which ones are actually worth it and why?

Something that you had a hard time with for whatever reason but once you finally got into it, it became one of your favorite.

I'm looking at buying Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and I've run into the same issue. Editions aren't explained. I'm not going to be tricked into buying artbook, soundtrack, weapon skins, player skins.

So, what's in the Deluxe, Gold, and Ultimate Editions? Not a single explanation on the store page. I don't care if it's 80% off. I want more missions.

For me it’s-

God of War (2018) Control (2019) DOOM Eternal (2019)

just to name a few

already own a Series X and am simply wishing for a complimentary console to get some more variety gaming wise.

I love jrpgs and story heavy games. Intrigued by Xenoblade Chronicles, Fire emblems, but also by the vast selection of exclusive games the PS5 offers like God of War and most of the Final Fantasy games.

Any recommendations? Really torn here

I dunno how common it is, but there have been multiple times where I tried to play a game, went "this game isn't for me", and put it down for a while only to pick it up again, now knowing what to expect, and really enjoying it. Games like Final Fantasy 7, Monster Hunter World, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, the Persona Dancing games, and more. And I think it's because, indeed, I know what to expect going into it the second time and can and can better prepare myself for it. Does this happen to anyone else?

I'll go first. I uninstalled Atomic Heart because I couldn't zoom in far enough on the map. Yup.

Time posted their top 10 games from 2023. Couple surprises and a lot of love for remakes. Also shows just how great of a year it was for video games.

I feel like we’re gonna get a general overview of the city (or cites), maybe some shots of some shootouts, missions, hear one or both of the protagonists speak, with a slower song in the background. I’m not expecting a long trailer.

Also do y’all expect pre-orders to be available right when the trailer drops? If so how many of y’all are pre-ordering?

I'd say smash wiiu or ROUNDS

I just started gaming on PC. Mobile screen recorders are free, and console has one built into it. I want to record myself playing on PC but most of the recorders I come across are freemium.

I often need to watch a lecture or some sort of long video for my assignments. I have trouble sitting there and following through every second of something that could be up to three hours.

What are some games to play that don't take too mucb attention and effort themselves and are something that I could passively play? Again nothing too much like a shooter, rpg, or a fighting game that'll take my attention, but rather something that can fill the space in my head.

For me it's Ghost Recon(2001). Coming from rainbow six, the outdoor areas were mind blowing. Just replayed a quick map and it was still gorgeous to me.
