Both games are currently on sale on Steam for about the same price ($59.99 CAD vs $58.49 CAD). I’ve never played either. I know they’re both supposed to be excellent games. My question is, for those who have played both, which do you prefer?...
do you have access to a console? can you rent games from the library? put in a hold for clair obscur at the library now, buy baldurs gate now. buy clair obscur later. I have been listening to the music from clair obscur even when not playing it’s so good. bg3 is good, but i’ve gotten distracted from it more than a few times. it has more replay value, but clair obscur is going up there in my top 5 of all time. bg3 is top 10, but not top 5.
and they’re going to prove the same point stardew did, by selling multiple copies to the same people on different platforms and blowing any sales projections they might have made out of the water, that video games right now are ridiculously overpriced.
I have been considering livestreaming gaming (mostly Retroachievements, and maybe some noncompetitive speed running), but I cannot find/decide a good service. I am not considering it as a source of income, or wanting a huge number of viewers....
so i’ll admit it’s not the genre i’m typically listening to or playing in, but it was fun. without getting technical because i’m not sure how to communicate this technically, i enjoyed the energy coming off the music. i got pumped up. i liked it.
old blues (think big mama thornton and lead belly), mountain goats and “similar” indieish bands, some easier jazz, those tend to be my casual listening. i’m currently working through the collection of LPs i inherited which has a lot of Boz Scaggs and some original Beatles pressings and stuff like that, got this great classical collection of Soviet classical composers another close friend and former coworker gave to us when she heard we got a record player that she got from her mom that her mom got from a Beach Boy she was friends with I’ve been asked not to name and it’s an amazing collection.
My NEED TO LISTEN TO pile is taller than my NEED TO READ pile it’s a little embarrassing.
i mean, i don’t like pirating. i get a shitton of “free” (okay, minimal cost tax-subsidized if you want to pedant. probably a dollar a month that I’m gladly paying anyways) games from the library. i buy maybe one game a year.
I was going to buy my wife the latest Lara Croft trilogy for Christmas a few years ago and then epic gave it to me for free so I had to actually think about her gift
Something I’ve picked up on with my gaming preference is stories that don’t simply focus on one “mood” for the game, but alter it to fit the situation. Players get a relaxed time exploring or diving into combat, and the world is inviting and colorful, but when the story builds, it puts brutal tests of character in front...
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.
omg i just got to the point where maelle’s hair did the thing and i just about died. i’m going to have to buy this one, i got it from my local library.
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.
Most people look fondly on the last time they were truly healthy and energetic. Some people, early in their 50s, some people their early childhood, some people don’t have it.
in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically
i mean i still have my old 3.5 and 5.25 floppy collection of sierra games published in DOS, pre-windows (since you obviously weren’t around then), that doesn’t use any ascii art. you’re the one throwing out wild anachronisms to make a point you don’t have.
Right? The graphic choice tells me what I’m getting, and they somehow made it pretty. There could be more signs telling me to play it, but I don’t really need them.
Today’s game is The Last of Us Part 2. I… probably need to stop buying and picking up games. This is what? The 5th new game i picked up? In my defense though, it was cheaper than i expected and i got paid early than i thought. At this point i think i need to start cutting things loose and go back later. We did finish Halo 4...
Battledield now throwing an error because Valorant is already sitting in kernel memory. Time to buy your EA Battlefield PC but don’t forget your Valorant PC
yeah, i haven’t done tech support in a hot minute either and had to look up some shit too. All that makes sense, although I don’t recall it existing in the early 90s when I actually thought I knew what i was talking about.
Just another one of those questions that have been on my mind. I want to know what its like to be in a competitive game competition and if its worth it. Theres no way ill even be in 1 because they look hard and im a casual gamer.
most of the time i get the “you’re having an earthquake” text a few seconds after the shaking stops, but a few times it’s come before it started so hey
i get the feeling gamepass gives you access to the library of games that my library has. fantastic if your library doesn’t have video games or you have difficulty getting out of the house, but i love my local library
