    Cyberpunk 2077 - is it really a good game; or just really pretty?

    It's not that I'm obtuse to the fact that TONs of games are falling well short of the acceptably playable mark for some time now, it's that this one was one of the most highly anticipated titles, and CDPR had boatloads of money from TW3, so most expected better. Not necessarily better at launch...

    Cyberpunk 2077 - is it really a good game; or just really pretty?

    I really think the only way you can get any enjoyment out of the game given the money one pays when it's still a current release, is to refuse to put up with the BS bugs, like V standing in a T pose half naked on the motorbike any time you ride through the downtown area, and just shelve it until...

    Alan Wake 2 - snooze fest?

    Yes there are, but there was clearly baiting going on, much of which wasn't even accurate.

    Alan Wake 2 - snooze fest?

    I agree, but don't you think it's largely due to the fact that instead of D10S making his own AW2 screenshot thread, he hijacked this one and turned it into his own travelog? It was intended to be more of an open discussion thread than an AW2 fan club thread, and D10S is not exactly being open...

    Alan Wake 2 - snooze fest?

    I said not a single word who I thought the dancer was, and it wasn't at ALL my point. The point was the routine itself, especially during combat, was cheesy theatric gimmicks. That STILL means most of the time spent in Mind Place is her pinning up pics, if she only finally gets a clue how to...

    Alan Wake 2 - snooze fest?

    But you claimed Saga was "interpreting" clues in Mind Place. I merely pointed out she never actually says anything to convey she's interpreted anything. All she does is speculate, does it mean this, or that? You DO know what interpret means, right? Like I said, you've gone so gaga over the look...

    Alan Wake 2 - snooze fest?

    Well, based on your lack of observation skills I pointed out, I can see how you'd think that. The "Clicker" this game really needs is one that clicks you to the good spots, and turns it into more like a 15 hr experience, without all the unnecessary padding. You go ahead and do you though...

    Alan Wake 2 - snooze fest?

    LOL, I know full well many that fall in love with games to the point of literally hijacking a thread about it, and turning it into their personal travelog often like to think themselves the ONLY ones that get the narrative, but please, don't think I'm obtuse about the Mind Place. OF COURSE it's...

    Alan Wake 2 - snooze fest?

    Well, since Remedy MADE IT CLEAR this was intended to be their very first attempt at the "Survival Horror" genre, it seems to me since you feel it does not in fact play like SH, that at the very least, they missed their main theme there. Of course I won't know until I play it, but the obvious...

    Alan Wake 2 - snooze fest?

    After watching a fair bit more of gameplay footage, I watched this review of the game by Under the Mayo. Sadly of what I've seen so far, I have to agree with him. It also seems really odd that you cannot discard charms, and I'm seeing many say it causes inventory space problems. I should...

    A Story About Farting - what do you think about that?

    I think Stubbs the Zombie did it better. I mean, we all know corpses can and have released gas, and Stubbs does it as an attack tactic. Since it's inception in 2005, there have been many video games with farting zombies, but I believe Stubbs was the first. It takes place in the 50s, and Stubbs...

    Survey: What’s your relationship with your avatar? 👾

    Mine is Doom Slayer from Doom Eternal, on the command deck of the Fortress of Doom. He's about to jump through the portal to embark on another mission. I regard Doom Slayer in Doom Eternal to be the best protagonist in any Doom game yet, and the Meat Hook addition to his shotgun gives him fun...

    Survey—What do you think of Subscription based Gaming Services?

    I never bother with game subscriptions, or surveys. I'd rather just give a brief description why, than fill out a form. IMO, subscription models are usually aimed at one thing, taking advantage financially of those whom get addicted to certain game elements, like those of fashion, chance or...

    Games with natural disaster

    Yeah that's true, it's a missed opportunity really. They ought to at least show such content in a prequel.

    Highlights of A Plague Tale Requiem on Hard with no HUD/upgrades

    Nice screenshots, I've been wanting to play through it again with better settings now that I have better spec and an HDR capable display.
