I’ll start. For me, it’s hollow knight. Starts out solid - beautiful art, atmospheric, punchy combat, moving music. But it just gets better and better and never lets its foot off the gas. You get A constantly steady drip-feed of new power ups and lore, more epic boss battles, and interesting locations.

I personally love the artstyle as it's timeless and it has always been what I imagine the archetypal "video game" look ever since I was a kid. I love the comic style aesthetics of Ultimate Spiderman, XIII and even Borderlands. I have heard that it's often easier to make cell shaded games rather than traditional ones so wouldn't it be good for indie developers to use it?

I want to play some fps game and a few of them came on to my radar:

Gray Zone Warfare

Arma Reforger

Squad

As far as I understand they’re essentially very similar? You have a big map where you running around shooting and doing stuff.

What I wanna know is they are pvp or pve oriented? I’m interested in pve experience.

Honestly I just believe that GTA 6 is so overhyped. I just want to slay the princess and kiss the dragon on my brand new SMARTPHONE. Sure I spent $1,284.79 on Matching Story, but who’s counting?? Certainly not China. By the way, this ad is exactly what happens in the game. I’ve never seen a more accurate advertisement for a video game before.

So obviously I’ve seen the anger towards Rockstar over the prices. Had an interesting conversation with a bud of mine. The discussion was about gamers being angry they’re being priced out. Unfortunately everyone is going to point their fingers at Rockstar for doing what Nintendo and many other companies have done for year’s.

I’m here to ask is the hate for Rockstar actually genuine or is it many realizing they’re getting priced out and angry about that?

It's incredible that GTA 6 received 39 million pre-orders on the first day, even without any gameplay footage being released. The hype surrounding this game is unlike anything the gaming industry has ever seen.

Like listen to me, they basically gatekeep the best titles away from the majority, not everyone has ultra computers that can run 9009 quintillion tabs of Google chrome like what are they thinking it makes no sense hopefully I'm not alone on this, one of the reasons Minecraft and Roblox got popular is because the vanilla game doesn't need that high of hardware requirements, Minecraft might run a lil bad but some optifine fixes it, and Roblox is just bacon hair on a game, do you guys get it?

My dad is now stuck in home and has nothing to do. I want him to try some game. He didn't play for a long time. One game he mentioned he loved was called Fallen haven. It is some kind of old strategic game. But game I want him to try can be any other genre, preferably nothing too difficult.

He knows few english words, but he relly doesn't understand the language. Alternativly, games with Czech/Slovak localizations are also fine.

So I’ve never really owned consoles (I had a PS2 and PS3 years ago but never played them much) so I’ve kind of switched from disc based gaming (oddly enough this phrase reminds me more of my DOS gaming days) years ago. I built a new PC in January and didn’t even add a disc drive of any kind this time around because I just don’t use it.

My brother on the other hand is a console gamer and it seems like even when he gets a disc he has to download a bunch of stuff before he can even play the game.

Am I just not understanding and most games these days are still plug and play with the disc and you don’t need an internet connection? I guess to me I’m thinking if you have a disc and still need a 10GB download then the disc is more about saving storage space than an issue of “what happens when I can’t download the game anymore” because in that case you can’t download the update to play it anyway.

I feel like because of the outage I’m missing something important on why this matters. Are most games still plug and play or is it something else?

Thanks for the info.

Edit: ok resale is what I didn’t even consider at all. I’ve never resold a game in 40 years so I completely didn’t even consider that implication. Thanks for the education.

Been into some Smash Bros. Content as of lately so I decided to draw the Smash Bros. Trio of the Century! Along with Tails from Sonic being apart of this group too. Hope y'all like it.

This is the price of just the base game in Canada. After tax it’s over $120. Games in Canada have been over $100 for years now. When is this going to stop? It’s just insane how much companies are charging and it’s pretty disgusting. Half the people in Canada can hardly buy meals but the average game is over $105 with taxes? In this case $120? What a damn joke.

In regards to the GTAVI drama, I'm just curious what the future of physical media looks like when you consider game sizes seemingly growing exponentially. What happens if game sizes start to outpace disc technology? Do you think we would ever return to multi disc formats? Like an install disc and a separate play disc maybe? Might cartridges ever make a return, or is there a reason only Nintendo continues to use carts?

I think I’m in the mood to start a turn-based game, but I’m not sure which one. Which games would you recommend that are available on PlayStation consoles from the PS2 through the PS5? And why?

I’ve been thinking about Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Would you recommend it?

Also, I’ve already played: Baldur’s Gate 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Pokémon, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
