I pre-order games I know I’d buy on launch. Some titles I just know I’ll play, regardless of reviews - E.g. Sequels to games I love like the Witcher 3 or any of the Dying Light games.

I’ll also do Early Access if I want to play the game early and am okay with jank, E.g. Hades 2, Windblown.

utjebe,

I did pretty much the same, but then Kerbal 2 happened. I had that game in wishlist for like 5 years and damn they played us dirty.

Very disappointing when that happens, I agree - but that’s the risk we take as people who pre-order!

My nightmare pre-order was Star Citizen, to the point that I now despise Kickstarter.

barooboodoo,

any of the Dying Light games.

ada, do gaming w VR is an absolute game changer for racing games

The PS5 lets me play Gran Turismo with VR. and turn by using the gyro function on the controller, effectively mimicking a dedicated steering wheel by turning the controller itself rather than stick steering. I could use a wheel, but without a dedicated space to keep the wheel, setting it up and packing it down is just too much of an issue. Gyro steering gives me much of the same control as a wheel does, but without the hassle.

So gyro steering and VR together was a game changer for me. They were so amazing that I can’t play racing games any other way now…

But VR on the PS5 is basically dead in the water, so hardly any games support it, and gyro steering is basically unheard of in most racing games. So it’s pretty much Gran Turismo…

In theory it’s technically possible to use the PS VR headset on my PC, and configure gyro steering, but so far, the combination of getting them all working and configured correctly AND finding a game that supports it all has defeated me…

Wlm,

I’d recommend saving for a second hand G29 wheel 😊. Be warned: you’ll never want to go back though, and it is more stuff, taking up space.

ada,

I’ve got one already, with pedals. But I don’t have dedicated space to use it, so it never comes out :\

Nope. Only game I EVER preordered was fallout76, because I’ve been a fallout fanboy forever.

I learned.

I find that stuff like emoji blobs or too cartoonish characters prevent me from immersion and prefer the right amount of realism to “silly graphics”. Wouldn’t call that a necessarily a universal rule though.

I actually liked Dying Light a lot more before the multiplayer update rebalanced everything. God damn single player game is now balanced for two people, even when you’re solo.

I bought it. Looks cool.

The construction vehicle looks a bit more visually legible. I do like the cute emojis, but perhaps a moving icon is not the place for them.

Though if it makes sense for the type of vibe you are going for, they could still work as an alternate skin kinda like lichess/chess.com alternate pieces and tilesets

I’ve always liked some of the stuff that Kenney produces:

Might be some inspiration there

What and absolutely gorgeous website and assets! I may indeed take inspiration from these.

Recently discovered The Division 2.

Apparently this game came out before the pandemic and also predicted it. So-so gunplay, great rpg progression so far (I’m level 23/40), and the world is insanely beautiful. I like dungeon crawlers, I like exploring, I like shooting stuff, so this game fits pretty well.

Unfortunately, it has this weird, mouse sensitivity jitter issue that seems pretty tied into framerate for some reason. I dropped my mouse polling rate way down and that helped a ton, but it’s still there for whatever reason.

_ed,

Replaying the division at the mo, but love both D1 and D2 although noting the engines/environments are great but the stories characters are pretty bland.

Zahille7,

The first game is so incredibly atmospheric. Walking through the empty snow-covered New York streets, looting through abandoned houses, apartments and offices; exploring the subway and other iconic NYC locations.

Naho_Zako, do gaming w Whats the best free to play anime gacha game if at any at all?

I haven’t tried it yet but Umamusume apparently is fun and even got a reward for ongoing game or smth at GOTY.

Not anime girls, but cookie run kingdom is fun, has a great story, doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to have fun, and lets you easily collect the old characters that you missed, high ranks included

On the $0 trend, I restarted Just Cause 3 as I’m generally in a bad mood these days. Very satisfying 😌

Despite the very standard protagonist, Dying Light was a real treat.

My Christmas game this year has been Jusant. Just got to the last chapter and it’s been the perfect vibe.

There is a rumor that Dying Light 2 will be given away by Epic in the next week or so. They are giving away a different game every day right now.

Welcome to 2016. Sorry :[]

Haha I got my Oculus Rift CV1 in 2016. It absolutely blew my mind in Elite Dangerous, when all the building sized ships ACTUALLY were building sized.

VR has come a long way since then.

Ascendor,

You’re right. But the kind of immersion, the turning of the head stuff was the same back then. Elite: Dangerous is a good example for it.

Just finished Alan Wake. Not what I expected from the game but overall interesting. Somewhat like the idea of making it like a TV Show. Short but story was decent.
