Unrelated to the video itself but thanks for introducing me to FreeTube and Libredirect!

Veilguard, Session, and a lot of Skate 3. It’s all been an adventure.

orca, 17 dni temu

Oh yeah. I’m still regularly playing Skate 3 and making video clips from it. I mix it up though. I play tons of old console and PC games (Steam Deck), and occasionally get into a headspace where I dive back into retro games. N64, NES, Genesis/Master System, etc.

On the flip side, I’m playing Veilguard right now. I usually don’t buy games on release day, but I make exceptions. The other exception I made was Elden Ring and I have nearly 400 hours into that. No regrets.

I liked The Messenger a lot.

I actually found The Messenger after completing Sea of Stars and being so invested in it. I looked the devs up and decided I’d buy all of their stuff.

Anyone that uses “woke” unironically is not someone I will ever take seriously. Criticizing someone for having awareness of reality is peak modern day anti-intellectualism.

My (non-)issue is more with the fact that she looks too polished for a character that exists in a post-apocalyptic world. Both her clothes and some facial characteristics, like the perfect eyebrows.

This game is already great IMO. It really doesn’t need a remaster.

Project Zomboid. That’s the most recent game I can think of where I reduced the difficulty (and that’s coming from someone that has nearly 400 hours into Elden Ring). It’s not that the game is tougher than ER or anything like that. It has a ton of cool mechanics and detail that are really enjoyable if you’re into zombie survival games, but the zombies can really swarm you in that game and you won’t live long.

It also has sandbox mode where there’s no zombies and you can focus on farming, building, etc.

Definitely Shadow of the Erdtree! I’ve already beaten the Dancing Lion boss. Just started playing WoW Classic again too and found a guild filled with super nice people. So that’s been fun.

These are just a few. I cycle through games a lot.

It’s top tier fun. I come back to it routinely and make a bunch of ridiculous skate videos. Never gets old.

You can get it used pretty cheap. I have it for the Xbox 360 and downloaded it once I finally got an Xbox X.

Quake 3 if you wanna go old school. Pretty much anything will run it these days and you can easily spin up a local server for it. You can do FFA or play on teams.

Rocket League is always fun IMO. Good to blow off steam and not have to focus on story.

I installed 1,000 old game ROMs for NES, SNES, Sega Genesis/Master System, N64, and PS1. I’ve been reliving all of my childhood games since I got it. Road Rash on the PS1 was one I never played (and forgot existed) until my wife told me about it. What a blast.

Oh, no haha. It was just nice to have them as categories in the Steam app alongside my 250+ PC games.

Yeah! I binged that game when I found it. Completed the whole story and then started another playthrough.

I saw recent studies show that Facebook is no longer cool to younger generations, and the older generations are either not remotely interested in VR, and/or aren’t interested in Meta out of principle (security, ethics, etc). I know that’s hand-wavy and anecdotal, but I’m trying to gather who is going to buy these in big enough numbers to make them profitable. Probably just another vector that they want to hoard your data from.

Wow, this game looks awesome!

I dumped a ton of hours into Battlefield 3, and the Bad Company games. Now in terms of BF, I mostly play Battlefield 1943. I tried 2042 but immediately hated it. They gutted the game of everything that made the series so good.

Totally going to snatch this one, thanks!

I used to play Urban Terror a ton back in the day. Not a massive game like BF and BattleBit but it’s a super fun shooter (and it’s free!).

This is the same reason TV shows like NCIS get 500 seasons.

It also means players get rugpulled whenever the suits decide the game is no longer worth maintaining.

I see we’ve teleported back into the 1990s during the violent video games scare among parents. Gotta make excuses instead of, you know, actually facing the real problems.

I’ve been playing the first one on my Steam Deck so this is good timing.

Yeah, it’s wonderful. I was playing it for nearly 2 hours straight on a flight recently. If you adjust the CPU clock speed and a couple other things, you can squeeze some solid play time out of the Deck with Zero Dawn. It runs amazingly smooth.

There’s an official dock you can get for it. I have one and it’s awesome. Has a USB-C for power, HDMI, and 2 regular USB ports for peripherals. It even has an Ethernet port.

What was the worst game that comes to mind from your time writing? I used to write album reviews for a metal site years ago and one of our writers got HIM’s latest album at the time. They really just didn’t like the album and I shit you not, the review garnered 1,000+ comments from pissed off fans. It got so out of hand, we had to close comments.

Man, DN4E sat in limbo forever. I remember waiting patiently for it knowing full well it would be a mess, but I didn’t care because I was such a massive Duke Nukem fan. Definitely on my list of bad games but I managed to complete it. It was so dated and clunky.

I vaguely remember Brink and all of the hype absolutely vanishing when it came out. I think I ended up skipping it because of the feedback people had.

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, maybe the 2,062 cheese wheels I have stored in my house could be bugging things out but I doubt it.

I’m envious that you get to experience it for the first time. The Quake games are so worth it. Quake 3 becomes more arena-based but is an absolute blast to play online against people. It was a good chunk of my gaming life. 1 and 2 are FPS royalty. Simple and to the point.

orca, rok temu

I played the Quake games originally on the PC, but they’re great with a controller. Just dial the sensitivity in and you’re good. That’s always my concern because I mostly play on consoles now too, but Id and Bethesda put a lot of care into their gamepad layouts and settings.

Adding on, if you haven’t played the System Shock remake yet, I highly recommend it!

I will happily continue to not pay for games that do this and I won’t be missing out on anything.

This is on par with restaurants that microwave garbage food. They’re phoning it in to squeeze as much profit as possible out of the product. That tells me you don’t want to make games people enjoy, you want to make games that do nothing but maximize profit. I ain’t here for that shit. I’m willing to pay money for companies that respect art and trades, not ones that worship capitalism and exist to appease assholes in suits.

I’ll be playing it via GamePass and can try to report back once I have some hours under my belt in it.

BG3 like everyone else seems to be, the System Shock remake, and I started replaying Half Life 2 and Dishonored recently. Just got a Steam Deck so it’s been fun being able to play all of my Steam games wherever I want.

I had a Q3 server running for a while that I’d hop in and out of. It was funny knowing that it had bots on it just endlessly fighting each other. I miss the Instagib and Urban Terror days.

The benefit to the radio stations in game is that you get the silly commercials and commentary too. I like the whole package together. Sometimes I’ll drive around while just listening too, which is fun.

My dad and I used to play 7th Guest together. What a classic! It’s been a long time since I played that one. Had it on CD-ROM. Now I need to go find the soundtrack.
