GTA (as in, the first one) was a wonderful gaming experience. GTA 2 changed the game in some interesting ways, yet it remains the black sheep of the series for some reason. 3, 4, and 5 were iconic. Then 4 came out again (oops, the OG 4 is actually just Vice City, it’s not the fourth game but it’s also not DLC, not sure how that works. Interestingly while GTA 4/VC and GTA 4 were in different cities, GTA 5/SA and GTA 5 both took place in San Andreas (and surrounding areas). Anyway, I couldn’t get into the new GTA 4. GTA 5 was better, but I never finished it. Then they paused GTA to do a sequel to their Red Dead games, neither of which really went anywhere (popularity wise) but whatever, RDR2 (sequel to Red Dead Redemption, itself a sequel to Red Dead Revolver) ended up being a massive hit. Wasn’t for me, but I enjoyed what I played (the intro and maybe a couple hours after).
I don’t think GTA VI will be worth $100. I’m not interested in paying more than like $40 for it, tops. But, that’s just me. I know even at $100 it will break records and then everyone will think they can sell their games for $100 each. I don’t like it, but it’s going to happen.
Maybe I was lucky, but I had the same issue where I no longer had access to my old e-mail account and they sorted it out for me within a few hours (after a few e-mails back and forth).
It probably helped that I was able to provide them with a screenshot of the game in my Steam library as well as a list of all the games linked to my Rockstar account with dates of purchase. To find the dates of purchase on Steam I went to “account details” and “view purchase history”.
Thanks - from what I can gather the support member is a roulette spin with each message - hopefully I can use your tips and increase my chances of success
yeah this is the circle of ownership because the only way to get your account back at this point is social engineering, which is a serious topic about getting accounts hacked which different companies will handle seriously, as it requires a level of “trust me bro” on identity, If possible, id try to look for a CS that will take receipts of the game purchases to help further prove your identity.
First, it feels like a cozy little game, awesome artwork, everything’s happy and chill. Then they hit you with the real game, helping people cross over after they died. Not so bad. Then the REAL real game is explained to you, and it is gut-wrenching. I didn’t just have a tear or 2, I full on ugly cried. Every emotion is utilized in that game.
God damn I wish I’d stumbled across that naturally instead of being forced into it because i cant tell you lol spoilers iykyk lol dude you gotta play it.
Tap for spoilerI found Inscryption naturally though, I had no idea it was gonna do half the shit it did. That cheered me right up.
which emotional extremes? happiness? joy? fear? sadness? terror? hunger? beautiful food? lust? lust for the beautiful food? i got a lot of emotions just right now lets be real, there’s more than two.
Oh no doubt food can evoke an emotional response, like coming home on a cold rainy day to smell of your loved one baking cookies or something. But hunger itself I wouldnt class as an emotion
i guess you haven’t experienced capitalized Hunger yet then. like, not eating for two months hunger. trust me, it’s an emotion as well as a physical response.
Mother 3 is both the funniest, most charming game and also the most emotionally brutal story about loss, grief, and growing up with trauma. Never has a Gameboy advance game made me cry so much
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II did this really well just this year. Largely a story about contrasting a desire for adventure with the horrors and realities of war, it also has quests that are full of comedy. You can try to attract a pack of wolves using what the shepherd refers to as his absolute dumbest sheep; you can get blackout drunk with a band of mercenaries who may or may not have killed your childhood friends; you can clean up and decorate a crypt full of loose bones for a man who speaks only in rhymes, poorly, and might be a ghost.
My bet is: you can’t reliably fire unionised workers, so you make them want to quit instead.
The IGN newsroom is a joke, name one reputable journalist you are SURE works there without checking first, and I’ll be genuinely surprised, the only value is in the brandname, their coverage can probably be replaced by some LLM horseshit with nobody really noticing.
The higher ups know it, the journos know it (hence why they unionised) and thus they’re at an impasse.
Once they inevitably lose this standoff they’ll be replaced by third-worlder english speakers with chatgpt, mark my words.
I mostly play open world games like just cause 2, GTA VC, and total overdose. I have also tried bully in past. Moreover i have played NFS MW, and moto gp2
I’ve been playing Battlefield-like Wild Assault, and each time I die, the difficulty of reviving me helps me to realize how out of position I was. Other times when I was popping from cover and got hit by a rusher, a teammate quickly retaliates and then revives me.
The game also has some crazy moments with the healer’s ultimate, which revives people they’re standing on while the healer can keep shooting.
We sure did. Not only was hard to find the intended route to advance the game, it also got too long in consequence, to the point I lost all interest in the story and lore. With some luck, maybe our experiences could have been similar.
Can I ask what part you remember being lost at? Im not trying to retroactively guide you through the game, just trying to come to grips with where the game lost you
Well, several parts, actually, but I definitely don’t remember all of them. I just let go after defeating the Fire Giant when I realized there was still too much of the game to play to finish it. I was already burnt out and not enjoying my time. Other parts that got me bored were the infinite amount of optional bosses, so many of them being harder than actual bosses. I remember that getting to Radhan was a maze, too. Also the Giant Snake boss that requires a specific magical weapon that doesn’t show anything special against other enemies to be defeated, I mean, I guess someone had beaten it without that weapon, but it becomes stupidly hard even for Souls games. One thing that was a constant set back was that comment in the Round table about an albinuaric woman knowing some secret path to advance. Overall, I really couldn’t keep track of the secondary quests.
Now that I think about it, it probably had to do with the fact that I don’t play games online. So, there is a lot of feedback and help from other players that wasn’t coming to me, I guess.
Elden Ring has a lot of focus on bouncing around the map and sort of finding stuff.
There’s hints if you’re looking for a specific challenge, but overall you just sort of wander until you say “ooh cool” followed by “ow that was really tough” and eventually getting through it laughing and saying “you all said a tarnished couldn’t possibly do this, now who’s laughing!”.
But hey, if you’re not feeling it, don’t feel bad about it. You kinda need to be in the right mood for it, and I’ve not been able to find the energy for a replay because the ‘oooh shiny’ from exploration is gone.
Dark Souls has a similar exploration piece, but much more defined pathways, and I find it more replayable. ER is just so much.
I had this exact issue with the first two Dark Souls games. I explored, but did not find the “intended path forward” that would give me a gradual difficulty curve.
This is why I think a better game formula is: Give players some kind of overt objective marker or in-world guidance for their primary destination, but also point out they’re going to start having a very hard time if they never explore for themselves.
