Honestly, I've been in that state of mind a fair bit recently. Maybe a bit of a break from such games is what I need for a while. With everything else in my life, I just can't seem to motivate myself to put that level of effort into games anymore. I do appreciate you taking the time out to...

Yea, I read about the freeze canon trick recently but can't remember now whether I'd picked it up at any point leading up to that mission or not. But not going to reinstall 100+ GB just to find out though lol. It'd have been ok if not for the vision thing... but that just did it for me. Even...

The Matriarch in Gears 5; it led me to uninstall the game and never play it again. Well done, devs.

No one, unfortunately. Family members don't game, and attempts to get a co-op gaming session scheduled and executd with a friend only materialized once (we played A Way Out and loved it).

Lol yes, small world. :) And true, Nintendo always went their own way and 3rd party games have been afterthoughts for them and their users. Whereas PS has always been about the mainstream plus a few really good IPs, but the latter didn't define them as Nintendo's did (Mario, Zelda, Animal...

The campaign in Vanguard is very polished and enjoyable. The online I don't like as much as Black Ops Cold War. Too many bathroom-sized maps and the guns are not as much fun or varied as CW. But of course, some of that is due to the era.

After spending that much money, you'd have to think they want the games to be exclusive. But who knows, maybe they'll charge Sony a royalty to sell Call of Duty on PlayStation. Either way, not looking good for Sony, who can't survive on their own IPs the same way Nintendo can.

As of now, I'm still seething about purchasing Battlefield 2042, that too off EA Origin instead of Steam. Heard Steam are bending their return policy for this game as it's so unpopular. But no such luck on Origin.

Games involving a lot of button-mashing and combos (usually third-person stuff) I always prefer a gamepad. However, Batman: Arkham City, despite fitting that mould, I just found to be immensely easier with mouse+keyboard, mainly because of how quickly I could turn. Shooters and strategy games...

Lol, I'm the same way, especially the "get easily annoyed with games and just uninstall them" part.

I've been playing it on and off since 2015 lol. Lost an install and started it again some years ago. Lost another save and started again after that. I still play it occasionally but yea, don't think I'll ever finish it unless other games stopped getting released. Come to think of it, I've never...

First time I stepped out of the bunker in Fallout 4. The landscape ravaged by nuclear bombs over two centuries ago and not much human activity since then was starkly evident. And of course, almost every scene in Red Dead Redemption 2. As a big fan of old westerns, it was the closest thing to...

Nice, sounds like quite a transition for you!

This, in a nutshell. Games allow me to actually do the things I would otherwise merely watch unfold on screen in TV shows or movies. Granted, this statement would not apply 20 or so years ago when games were rough pixels cobbled together to form a semblance of a picture. However, today, thanks...

Yea, have to go with COD4 mainly due to the opening ship mission and Ghillied Up. But equally memorable was the original BO.
