Remedy Entertainment. From Max Payne 1 & 2, to Alan Wake 1 & 2, to Quantum Break, to Control, there has not been a game from them that I've played that hasn't been absolutely fantastic. They have not failed to miss so far.

It’s marketing doublespeak dreamed up by the totally deranged and it works

You have to remember its millennials and Gen Z experiencing this genre, not boomers.

Boomer doesn’t have to be literal boomers but old, like it is a joke in the WoW community to call it a boomer game because most of the people playing it (especially classic) are 30+ years old.

In the same way, people will talk about boomers in politics but Obama was the last baby boomer in the presidency.

I’m going to go a little unpopular here, and say Paradox Interactive.

Their milking of their properties with DLC is the stuff of legends, but at the end of the day, nobody else is even close at modeling rich, complex and hugely broad historical simulation the way they do. They’re everything I ever wanted when I was a kid, playing Koei strat games. When you’re that good at what you do, fine, make money. Whatever.

Oh, look. Another DLC… sigh

The DLC I’ll admit is what they are jokingly known for but someone could “find some treasure” can avoid that. But good answer nonetheless!

For a moment there I was really confused, I forgot about this wonderful extension

Millennials are going to be in absolute shambles if they ever find out “Okay boomer” wasn’t directly targeted at boomers.

It wasn’t? This is what Wikipedia says:

“OK boomer” or “okay boomer” is a catchphrase and internet meme that has been used by members of the Millennial generation and Generation Z (born between the early 1980s and the early 2010s) to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers – people born in the two decades following World War II.

Who was it targeted at then?

DragonTypeWyvern,

Young people saying things old people told them.

People who were usually younger than millennials.

It was targeted at everyone older than the younger people saying it.

It’s used as a catch all, with the intention of getting everyone riled up. Because regardless of if you’re an actual boomer or not, now you’re getting bundled together with them.

It’s such a fun phrase to say, though.

It does roll off the tongue nicely, I have to admit.

charonn0, do games w Best sidequests in the Fallout games?
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

In New Vegas, completing Arcade Gannon’s companion sidequest gives you a suit of Enclave advanced power armor, and a squad of Enclave troops with a vertibird will back you up at Hoover Dam. It’s virtually impossible to trigger this quest by accident.

Zahille7,

I think that’s the one sidequest I’ve never done in New Vegas

simple, do gaming w What are some good PSP games?

Daxter and MediEvil Resurrection are two of my favorites.

sleepybisexual,

Your mean resident evil? Never heard of MediEvil

simple,

It’s a remake of an older Playstation 1 game. It gets a lot of hate but I honestly think it’s very charming.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is an obvious one.

I should play ff

This is a beautiful game, kind of sad that my attention typically lost around Chapter 2.

newthrowaway20, do games w Can we talk about FF7 - Rebirth?

I guess I don’t mind it. The side quests aren’t the most exciting of activities, but they lead to a lot of great things. Like extra transmuter options, and party level increases for synergy abilities. unique accessories, and unique conversations with party members you wouldn’t see otherwise. Plus some of the best materia is only accessible from chadley. So I haven’t been minding it all that much. As you unlock life springs, you unlock more info about the environments you’re in. For me the rewards outweigh the monotony.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble, do games w Physical or Digital?

PC? All digital.

Consoles? All physical

I do t play games on console all that often so I’d rather the option to pick up a cheap used copy. Plus I could play that game any number of years down the road when the servers are long shut down. But on PC I just want to click the button and the game installs and opens.

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

This is the way.

bighatchester, do games w Physical or Digital?

For console games I always buy physical but for PC I buy digital. I have a ton of Ps1 - 5 games that I have physical copies of and they get played alot . My son is also getting into gaming and he likes to look through the games on my shelf to find fun things to play.

Stopthatgirl7, do games w Physical or Digital?
@Stopthatgirl7@lemmy.world avatar

I didn’t have much physical space in my last apartment, so I got used to buying as much media digitally as I could. I got used to it, and now prefer it. And now that I’ve shifted from console gaming to PC gaming, I’m pretty much all in on digital.
