I like how the thong in dragon’s dogma 2 is equal to both, and it has a pretty high defense so the game really wants you to wear it at the start where everything kills you easily.
Every post I make to this community always gets about 9 downvotes. I think a dedicated number of them are people who just don’t want to see this kind of content. Or maybe bots, considering how the number is almost the same every time I post.
But as long as the overall vote count stays in the positives, I’ll keep posting! I like discussing the various games I play and I figure this is a great way to open discussion in the community.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it, I’ve seen a similar up/downvote ratio in gaming posts for some reason, even for newly announced trailers. No idea why. Tends to improve over time, though, keep it up! Always enjoy seeing these posts.
I’m not subscribed to this community and just found this content via “all”. If you’re in there, you’ll always get downvotes from people who just don’t like this kind of content. Don’t worry about it.
It was annoying when it was just one person posting this meaningless shit, now I see 3 posts every day already. Imagine every single user would do the same. It's Twitter / Facebook type of postings that I just don't give a fuck about.
I was totally whelmed by this game, and thinking about it, it’s quite uncommon to have this old jaded coot’s expectations met. They promised a horror themed love story, and nailed it.
Tangentially, I’m happy for its success, because it means that the funding of the remaining episodes of Scarlet Hollow is secured.
Absolutely incredible game. One member of my exclusive collection of games which might be the best games I’ll play in my life.
I’m still not certain why I enjoyed the game so much. Sure the artistic vision is incredibly executed and the game is really unique. But as a matter of fact psychosis is not a pleasant experience and I’m grad I can turn the game off whenever I please. How do you feel about this duality of a awful experience but still an enjoyable one?
Although it’s very dangerous to play the game if you had mental illness history. Playing the game triggered a psychosis episode for my friend who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
I never finished this title, so I’m replaying it in preparation for the new sequel. I had forgotten how dang stunning this game is. It’s a handful of years old now, and on ultra settings, still looks better than most modern titles.
I think that’s partly because it received a mayor grafic overhaul patch which included the option for Ray tracing and pushed grafic fidelity a good bit.
The games are a sequle, CDPR got the rights to make a game based on the IP in the early 2000s and just did their own thing.
W1 was a bit rough, plot wise it tried to incorporate a lot of the existing world but played the amnesia card so everyone had to explain shit to Geralt (and by extension the player).
W2 is a direct follow up to W1 and put CDPR on the world stage by being the high water mark for graphics requirements around 2010. Still a very good game, a bit on rails for modern standards, but still fantastic for how it handles branching paths.
W3 + DLC won all the awards in their respective release years for a reason, they are magnificent and with CDPR spending 15 years in the IP they make tons of call backs to the books without the players feeling like they are missing something if you didnt read them.
There are 2 (ok… 4) TV shows.
The netflix shows starring Henry Cavil, king of the nerds, (who is being recast by the least hot hemsworth because netlfix pissed off the books biggest fan) and what ever that second one was that we dont talk about (There is also an anime, which is pretty good) and the Hexer, a made-for-TV low budget show that loosly follows the plot of the early books, it in polish and I dont think it was ever dubbed (I managed to find it with subtitles years ago).
I know this is more than you asked for but, enjoy the games, enjoy the books, be aware of the fan opinions of the shows.
No no this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I’m the rare Witcher fan who’s read all the books, seen the shows (actually liked Season 1 Netflix despite changes, but now want the producers to never work again), but never played the games. I hadn’t played any because doing 2 games kinda felt like a task to play the one that’s so famous. I have W3 and def will play it now, especially cool to see the Wild Hunt in game. Thanks!!!
One of my favorite gaming experiences. For anyone reading this, it’s a must play. It’s not the greatest game of all time, but the audio experience combined with the heartrending story make an emotional package.
So the camera is third person, but you of course experience the game through the eyes of Senua! You feel her courage, her fear, and her strength and grit as she pushes forward to solve her problem (no spoilers here).
While you play as Senua, you also get to hear Senua’s voices. Lots of voices, and it is an eerie and tough experience to get through. They will uplift you, praise you, beat you down, scare you, make you feel rotten. And it’s absolutely best to play this game with headphones - trust me.
I can’t praise this game enough. For me, it was about an 8.5/10. I only had a few nitpicks with gameplay, but the story beats, heartrending story, wonderful voice and motion-capture acting, musical score, art direction, etc is such an experience.
This is one of many reasons “I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream” is required gaming. One of the stages in the game is a concentration camp, you’re playing as the Nazi doctor who tortures people with unethical experiments. Your goal to win the stage is to realize the horrors of what you’ve done, accept your role in it, try to make amends, and ultimately agree to die as there is no apology for what you’ve done.
And yes, we do see mass graves and one of your first tasks is choosing to either sever a child’s spine or cancel the procedure. There is no gorey gruesome over the top scene, you just choose to do it, you lose “Spiritual Health”, and the child complains he cannot walk or feel his legs later whilst the game comments that the surgery had no purpose outside of mutilating the patient.
You can torture them further and learn nothing, but that’s how you lose… And again, there are no scenes of you gibbing jewish prisoners like they’re doom enemies. Getting to kill people in horrible ways is a reward in games, here, you get none of your “blood porn”, just the horrors of war.
If this doesn’t convince you “Holocaust = Bad”, you’re probably a Nazi.
I really need to get more into Project Zomboid, I really love its Sims-like aesthetic and early 90s setting. But the whole zombie apocalypse thing quite scares me since I’m pretty terrified of the idea of being eaten alive by a zombie horde and then becoming a zombie @_ (the end of the tutorial shook me to my core, lol)
I actually made a little “modpack” collection and sandbox game mode that turns it from a zombie apocalypse game to something more like Silent Hill (replacing zombies with eldritch entities, and making them spawn less frequently and move slower, but be far more resistant to damage), since that ironically makes the game less terrifying for me and more manageable to play 😅 (plus I quite like liminal spaces in general, which is something I wanted to replicate with the mod collection)
Yeah. The tutorial can be ruthless. I remember being scared a little by it when I first played it a few years ago.
I remember seeing a mod that swaps the zombies for one immortal one that always knows where you are (like the snail). Have you tried that with the eldritch mod?
