    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.

    Games with natural disaster

    The game Mad Max takes place in a near future apocalyptic environment caused by ecocide. Ecocide can result in environmental changes, and the game's dev team Avalanche took full advantage of this. When playing you will randomly encounter sand storms that quickly turn the sky dark, and then...

    What's the next target in your backlog?

    Turns out Alone in the Dark's reviews are better than I thought. I was going mostly by what people on the Steam forums were saying, as many said the combat wasn't very good and there are annoying bugs, like your character getting stuck on a lot of surfaces, requiring a checkpoint reload. There...

    What's the next target in your backlog?

    My next most anticipated games are S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Star Wars Outlaws. And since Alone in the Dark 2024 is getting really bad reviews, Terminator Survivor is taking it's place on my list. However there's no release date for it yet, but some are...

    Restricting addictive game design

    I honestly feel it's always going to come down to the willpower vs gullibility of the player, and how strictly they were raised by their parents regarding financial responsibility and time management. The lack of such discipline is where the problem starts, and the wheels potentially fall off...

    STEAM (Remote Gaming)

    GOG is your best bet OP. Aside from some special deals on obscure titles, you WILL pay a bit more, and they have a smaller selection of AAA titles, but you won't have to deal with 3rd party launchers/apps, and they will more likely have little to no bugs.

    Phone vs pc hardware

    In other words, cell phone tech has come a long way. For sure, that's expected, especially when you look at the ridiculous prices Apple charges for them. It's why no one in their right mind gets the latest gen iPhone without hooking up with a contract deal. Even then, you're committing to a long...
