This isn’t the best analogy to make - after all, this is a video game, and clarity of gameplay trumps any simulated chaos that the atmosphere strives for.

Oh my god what kind of reaction is this? His air quotes around “interesting” are a response to the description that the company uses for the room:

For me, horror games are like jumping in a pool of sulfuric acid. Eventually I acclimate because I’m dead. 

God I was gonna try and disprove you by looking at launch titles, but:

I use a 2015 40" Samsung JU6600. Not a true HDR panel (though it can receive the signal) but it’s 4K through and through. All of my games so far have PS4 Pro patches or support right off the bat:

Now I want to play Deus Ex again just to hear the VA

I dunno man, quake 2 had some low-end textures...

Get a bunch of shader mods that naturally extend the draw distance! Would kill your fps for even the highest-end of rigs but it’s a sight to behold.

It certainly isn’t powerful enough, though there were experimental 3D engines for the Gameboy Color back in the days. Anyway, in this case, there is a coprocessor on the cartridge that is much more powerful than the Gameboy’s CPU, which is what is rendering the game here.

Slither is better imo, since Agar mindgames are just “ooh is this big bastard really gonna risk a split to catch little ol’ me” while in Slither anyone can be killed by anyone else no matter how large the difference and it’s just so tense

“Holy shit,” wrote a DOTA 2 player with Zero Goddamn Chill named obnoxiousloudmouth. “My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I’m so…

Damn sure is, right down to the mild complaining on both ends about each other’s SOs

Piracy has preserved some of the games that are lost in time. Various “abandonware” sites out there continue to host ISOs of old PC games that have never made it into the digital age.

Too real. Don’t forget finding a stupidly tenuous connection with someone he doesn’t ever see in person, due to boredom and a lack of purpose

Jesus Christ, that’s Jason Bourne.

I’m feeling John Corbett in the early-2000s

I like to think that she was unbelievably sexy because the game didn’t pay attention to that aspect of her. Instead she was a straight-up action goddess, equal to the protagonist in every single way, and there were absolutely no hints of sexual tension between the two.

What on Earth are you talking about? The radial engines in those planes did spin as well
