I used to be very into getting plats or 100%-ing games. But I stopped a long time ago because I simply didn't have time to grind 1000 kills or collect a billion feathers. Too many games to play, too little time.

Though there are some games where getting a 100% was not a chore, and I did it mostly b

Long ago, the four platforms lived together in harmony.

Then, everything changed when micro-transactions started.

Only a gamer, master of all four platforms, could unite them. But when the world needed him most ... he got a job.

A hundred studios have died, and

I hope you've played 2005's Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. It was an open-world game back when the whole concept of modern open-world games was in its genesis. This was back before the maps were littered with collectibles

For me, it’s The outer worlds 2. I know a lot of people criticize its RPG elements and story, but I ​ enjoy the gameplay. I also really liked Code vein 2 even though it seems to have been received worse than the first game. But I really got into it and even got 100% of the achievements.

Halo Wars is in my top 3 favorite RTS games of all time. Probably number 2. Halo Wars 2 was disappointing.

Let's see the masters of the RTS genre make Halo Wars 3

Hey! I'm looking for a game where you look after a bunch of minions or creatures that level up over time. The key thing for me is visible progression: as they level up, their appearance changes, so you can actually see them getting stronger. That visual payoff is a big motivator for me.

On top of t

Long story short, I had lost my job and my family was struggling with money too, which I didn't even know until I lost my job so for me was like nuke. By the end of 2023 everything seemed so perfect in my life and all of the sudden in June 2024 everything was... painful.

As we know the job market i

Revisited the remake after 3 years and I’m loving it. The visuals are intense

I love strategy guides concept artwork!

I was playing 'Well Dweller' yesterday when it launched and it made me think of when I played his other game 'Crypt Custodian' last summer, which made me ball my eyes out when I beat it.

What's yours?

“With 1,600 cuts in July and 268 more today, that leaves 1,332 still to come”

For example I wanted Kotor 3. I wanted to have limbs that could be chopped off and replaced with robotics. In the Fable games I wanted to be able to ride a dragon. What features did you dream up or wish for in a game that either never ended up getting made or simply didn't live up to your hopes and

Title basically. I know we have Hogwarts Legacy and the new game that came out called Agefield High. But it doesn't feel the same, the school and class system in Bully was just so much better. Classes could be skipped and weren;t considered mandatory quest missions.

I'm talking about games you go on for the atmosphere, or just to walk/ride around with the soundtrack playing in the background, maybe do the odd side quest?

I miss this era of the series.

While the series isn't dead since we have a fairly recent HD-2D (but not officially called HD-2D) remake of 2 the fact it's a remake of a port of a PS1 game it's no doubt the series has stagnated. Going back a bit further the last new mainline entry (Diving Force) was

As CEO Hyung-Tae Kim made clear in an interview with INVEN, the project struggled with financial constraints and rejections from investors.

According to Kim, Shift Up approached several investors and major publishers to finance "Stellar Blade." Most declined; potential backers were convinced that t

A moment to remember

I've been replaying several AC titles on steam for achievement hunting. I've owned them, but never bothered playing them until now.

AC Revelation was ok, I had to tinker following a guide to restore the DLCs, but everything worked afterwards.

AC3 is where I'm stuck at. I first tried launching it o

For example, I'm playing Dragon's Domga 2 and my pawn says "Do you seriously have to run everywhere are fast as you can, what is your rush?!"

Just started Hearthstone thinking that it would be a chill and none stressful game. But holy sht I've never been so tilted with a game until this one. I have never shouted in front of the tv no matter how much i died in sekiro or how many times I lost in Street Fighter 6. But this game.

Doesnt look like it's 23 years between them🤣

Anyone know of any games where you just kind of exist in the wilderness? You can set up a camp, do some fishing/hunting for food, with some room to upgrade my camp and equipment with materials I gather, while not having an extremely stressful survival atmosphere or any kind of horror elements? I don

Just wanted to say I loved the writing and characters in dawnwalker. Probably my favorite since kcd 2. They did an incredible job in that department.

Like the combat a lot. Felt like the enemies had a lot of hp bloat though and the progression felt sort of strange. Still didn’t ruin the experience

This is probably the best-looking/feeling swordplay I’ve experienced in a game. It’s really impressive what Capcom have managed to achieve, because not only is the combat incredibly responsive, but it looks realistic as hell too.

Games have always evolved visually, but animation quality hasn’t real

I wanna get into train sims, but there is a daunting amount of them on Steam and I dunno which to pick! My interest is broad so I'm into construction, management or operating game play. Preferably ones that use real life train models or locations. Thank you!

I’m going to be on a plane for almost 30 hours and I’m looking for a Switch 2 game to dig into because OoT remake won’t be out before I leave.

I enjoy just about any genre of game but have a particular fondness for roguelites.

I was considering Prime 4 since I haven’t played it yet. Was also consi

From Matt Booty:

Team,

I’m writing to share several updates as part of the XBOX reset outlined earlier this year.

First, we are eliminating 268 roles across Halo Studios, other first-party studios, and the XGS management and central functions layer. The actions completed since July, inclusive

Me and my friend play a lot of games together but we have kind of hit a wall. We used to play Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft etc but all those games seem so boring now. We did play split fiction which was super fun a good change of pace since I have never played story game but my friend loves them. Are

Bought a used Wii with Mario and Luigi controllers. Steeringwheel etc. What a console!

every single time. i open the game with a whole story planned, spend forever on the kitchen of a tiny house, then close the game as soon as it's done.

this week i finally moved a sim in and played a full week of game time, and it was genuinely fun. so why do i keep doing this?

Froglike is my favorite genre. What are some froglikes you would recommend

Watching the credits roll. Absolutely phenomenal way to revive the franchise. The gameplay never got stale, and the storytelling along with the character development were top notch. Loved these characters.I can't believe Capcom was able to revive a franchise and create a new one with Pragmata while
