5.1 sound system from DaLi (Danish Loudspeakers). Even the Oberon series is fine for ambience. Love losing myself in Zelda BotW and its weather effects. A good subwoofer adds a lot to the experience aswell.
S760D (5.1) from edifier. It punches far above its weight imo. I use a sennheiser pc37x if I need to be in voice chat but as good as headphones sound I don’t necessarily want to be wearing them all day.
At my gaming PC, I got Logitech G560 speakers and also a G733 headset. Both were gifts. I slightly prefer the headset (used to gaming with headphones after decades), but the speakers are nice to give my ears a temporary rest plus them lighting up the wall behind the monitor is cool.
On the TV, an Ultimea soundbar + rear speakers set. Cheapest I could find with surround where subwoofer and rears are wireless as due to my living room layout running cables there would be impractical. Not the best soujd but worlds better than the TV itself and good enough for all my gaming needs.
Sweet! Didn’t even know Logitech makes speakers! Wireless sound has come a long way, in my opinion. I don’t think one would notice any difference playing games anyway. Really wish I could try gaming with a subwoofer! :)
Tanking with shields (force/kinetic shields in sci-fi games, not physical shields)
I liked when games let you face-tank damage with your shield (like in Mass Effect, before Andromeda where they made shields weak af and even removed shield gating) and not having to care for healing (unless you lose all your shields)
I don’t know if it’s due to the souls-like trend, but it feels like game developers need to make punitive games nowadays
Battlezone II had force shields. They used your vehicle’s weapon energy. The shields used energy, and also taking hits would drain your energy. You needed a ship with fast energy regen to make the most use out of them. One ship from the X-Mod mod, the Jade Falcon, could actually regenerate faster than the shields drained. So you could keep them on all the time, and still shoot some. It wasn’t invincible by any means, but that regen speed plus the fact that the radar ping twice as frequently made it my absolute favorite ship.
After many years I finished myself a few weeks ago! Nice gameplay, and funny you mention Arkham which I played for the first time also a month ago and it’s definitely recycled mechanics, which is good!
Thank you! It’s been a lot of fun doing these. I’m just glad I’ve gotten a chance to talk about games I play. I like to help people broaden their horizons, and I think in a way this has helped me broaden mine too. There’s been so many people who have suggested new games and other stuff that it’s helped me try new experiences (ironic considering all the Halo it’s been lately though).
I think the steam deck might be worth it for the sake of giving her the option to play stuff that’s isn’t on switch.
Like, sure, maybe she never ends up caring about anything but first party Nintendo originals. But, giving that option opens up a world of possibility.
I have a little cousin, he’s not exactly the most technical, not the most patient with such things, he calls me a lot for help with stuff. But he’s on a laptop instead of a switch or a console because he wanted to play modded Minecraft, i’ve seen him grow a lot in being willing to understand this stuff because he was given an opportunity and a reason to engage with it.
