Cyberpunk 2077 for the 4th playthrough, as CORPO this time. Just loving it, the game doesn't get old but even in the recent 1.6 there are still the weirdest of bugs, the most common is some UI popups staying on the screen and not going away and the choppy map/crafting menu bug if in the game...

Finally there would actually be time to read books again!

I'd call it 'Golden Era FPS' or 'Golden Era Shooter' which was the 90's and early 00's. However, I am going through some of my 90's PC Gamer magazines and the term "Doom clones" was used by PCG a LOT to describe any FPS that wasn't Doom, yet came out after Doom, even System Shock and Descent...

It was the June 1996 Cover that got me my first PC gamer magazine purchase, still my favorite.

I've kept all my hundreds of physical big box copies because even 20-25 years ago I knew that gaming would transition to Internet downloads as bandwidth kept getting faster, PC game boxes kept getting smaller, and with Steam in 2003, Online-only was slowly but surely becoming a thing. I miss PC...

We all remember C&C2 Tiberian Sun's Ion Storm. One of the most atmospheric and immersive weather effects to this very day. I remember Far Cry 2 decades ago and was blown away by the wind effects, especially when combine with fire. World of Warcraft had some weather effects but they never...

Steam, Battle.net, and GOG. Amazon or Ebay for Physical collector copies. There is huge demand right now for 1990-2005 big box games, especially if sealed and/or good condition old stock. I haven't ever given any coin to EGS or UPlay, and not to Origin since Mirror's Edge Catalyst and Dragon...

Currently on Cyberpunk 2077 1.5, my third playthrough since Dec 2020 release. I love this game. Steam says I have 470 hours in the game, and has now beat Civilization V as my most played Steam game. Patch improved a lot of things, added some new features, but also messed up performance in the...

I have too many favorites, but the first that came to mind was Dragon Age Inquisition, now that's a theme! It pulls you right in. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0akrGvcV144

The big one that comes to mind is; 2.5 weeks, approx 8-12 hours a day grinding the Winterspring Frostsaber in early 2005 in World of Warcraft. My first reputation grind in that game, and not my last…

No doubt, Serious Sam the First Encounter filled in a much needed gap in 2000 when Duke Nukem Forever kept getting delayed over and over. This was a time when DNF was expected to arrive by 2001. Sam was basically time traveller from the future parody Duke, with his witty comments and...

I vowed about a decade ago to never again type in /played in World of Warcraft, as that reveals how much time one has spent in the game on that character. Years ago I typed that and it was immediately depressing, so lets just say I have spent literal years in that game since the 2004 release...

I think this year will be pretty big for 2077, but they need to release details on the first expansion they're currently working on. All the small DLC will make its way out eventually.

Depends which system! PC - System Shock NES - Super Mario Bros 3 Sega Genesis - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Game Boy - Super Mario Land 2 - Six Golden Coins SNES - Literally a tie between Super Mario World & Donkey Kong Country Nintendo Ultra 64 - 007 Goldeneye XBOX - Halo - Combat Evolved

Some pros and cons in my playthrough, some are my own little nitpicks :cool:: Pros - Open world is okay, perhaps really basic but still okay. - Tons of different types of weapons. - Grappling Hook makes traveling over the nearby mountain to get to the other side easy. - No dual-wield, which I...
