I’d love to see the addition of a DMZ variant that is just PvE. My son got me to try it over the summer after I had checked out of CoD several releases back. It was a lot of fun - until we newbies to the mode ran into other players who knew the maps, systems and were there to just gank players not worry about the vE…

The “comfort food of RPG’s” sounds just about right. I think it’s good. Not great, not bad, just good. Sometimes it’s really good. Despite all the talk of it being so slow, I was almost instantly drawn into it. But overall, it feels fun time in a dive bar with decent food, dated decor and okay company.

It’s because the big no-no words cause a reaction from people, and kids that have not yet developed empathy skills (coupled with the anonymity of being on the Internet) often get enjoyment from getting a rise out of people. So they usually go right for the worst slurs and such. A lot of times these kids aren’t even…

I just want to use voice chat on overwatch to laugh at or with the other team.
Like jokes in in-game chat only go so far. I miss the brief window of yelling in Halo CURSE YOU GENJINTAKUYA77, as I got backstabbed. Even if I played like shite I’d at least get to share a laugh and enjoy some requeues with fun rivals.

This might be an oversimplification but I’m curious why the default option is to allow public/open/area chats? It seems to me that most of this would go away if all open mic sections of games (lobbies, in game, matchmaking, post match, etc) were opt in rather than opt out. That is, you have to opt, player by player,…

Back when I played CoD online (whatever years MW1/2 were new) it was just full of screaming, racist 12-year old boys. Any time I played outside of my friend group I just muted everyone. I don’t want to hear that, or the guy who just breathes heavily into his unmuted microphone, or the guy who’s blasting unintelligible …

The ability to submit a recording of the recent conversation is a really good step and if adopted by other systems it could do a lot to curb shitty people in voice chat (provided they actually deal with the reports properly). If that got adopted on a wider basis by Sony, Valve, and individual game publishers it could…

It’s a video game lol.

Imagine listening to the same album over and over and eventually getting tired of it and then getting mad at the artist. The same with movies, shows, etc. Like just play something else! It’s okay, you’re allowed to listen to a different song.

Why is it always video gamers.

They built something that lets you determine your level of investment. That includes putting the theoretical ceiling very very high up for the people who enjoy going there. They also have a lot of natural break points for people who don’t enjoy going that hard. This sounds more like a self-control/neurosis thing than…

Yeah, putting aside the “cheering for mega-corps” angle, Desantis was literally just trying to retaliate because his fascist policies weren’t liked, and install stooges on these boards for the sole purpose of blackmailing Disney into altering its content by holding hostage the things that council controlled. That’s *li…

I have to be careful here. I think these people who are taking this to an extreme are so far off base that it highlights the very essence of the toxicity of bro culture.

...but the Tik Tok is capital “F” Fake. I’ve played a lot of Call of Duty. So much Call of Duty that it’s incredibly unhealthy. Every annual release…

I know it’s a foolish dream... BUT a remaster of Oblivion or Moorwind... I would cry with joy!

My tricks are

When you consider finishing your backlog, your backlog isn’t big enough.

Seriously, I think this is a doomed endeavor. I guess, I am not the only one with a backlog of at least over 300 games. It’s quiet simply not possible to play them all.

First, about the article:

In my opinion it is a weird approach to play the…

Another useful tip: don’t play a service game.

I actually have a webpage that I maintain with a list of all the games on my backlog. Whenever I buy a new game, I add it to the list. When I’m actively working on a game, it’s bolded in red. Once I’ve completed it, I cross it out and put the date that I completed it. Then there are the rules I gave myself. There are…

The biggest tip I have, the one that I’ve most recently come to embrace: if what you’re after is experiencing a game’s story throw that shit on easy and just play it. I used to scoff at beating a game on anything but Hard but I have huge backlog and lots of other things competing for my time. This has allowed me to…

“...PlayStation users can sign up for PS Now, a near-identical service.” C’mon, let’s not kid ourselves. It’s been making progress as a service but it completely pales in comparison to what GamePass offers. 

I’ve got a backlog. My philosophy is to not purchase any new games unless I know I am going to play it immediately and spend time on it. For example, I bought Picross S4 for Switch when it went on sale because I knew I would play it almost immediately and I had finished all of the other ones.
