However, there could be a fairly simple explanation there: Morpheus dies in the MMO game The Matrix Online. That specific event in the game is considered canon because the writer-directors, the Wachowskis, gave their approval to the game.
I can't afford a new computer right now and tariffs meaning higher prices means I can't anticipate affording one in the near future. My plan is to see where everything's at when they stop doing updates. Unfortunately.
I'm somewhat open to the idea, but the thought of messing up and not having any computer other than my phone until i figure it out is tough to get over.
Is this something that's relatively fool proof to do? I'm very good at imagining disasters. That's the big mental block I got when I thought about dual booting before.
The first one is basically a good Yume Nikki clone. You’re wandering through the dreams of a girl who is being abused by her father. The ending, like Yume Nikki, is suicide. (You don’t have to play it to understand the series, tbh it’s better to just watch a YouTube long play)...
I've heard of it before and considered playing it, but I have a tough time committing to play a game with sexual violence as a theme. It's nothing against the game, which looks interesting. If anyone knows of a good let's play for the series, I'd love to experience it in some way, even if it's a dulled experience.
I feel like my “all-time favorite” changes depending on my mood, but if I had to pick just one, I’d probably go with The Witcher 3. That game just hit all the right notes—amazing story, incredible world-building, and so much stuff to do without feeling like pointless filler. Plus, the expansions were just as good, if not...
My nostalgia faves are still The Longest Journey and Grim Fandango. My love of stories told with games started here. I do need to think about what my all time favorites are, though. That's a big question.
One thing I really loved about it was even though the character models were as weird looking as you'd expect from the era, the backgrounds were beautiful and when i played it years later with more modern sensibilities, I still was fond of them. The story took advantage of the fact that the main character was an artist, so there were a number of colorful or visually interesting segments.
The whole experience felt so vast, and even not being a child any more (which can make stories seem vast because of your own imagination), there still feels like there's a lot to both worlds. And history to characters, just out of view.
It also lives up pretty well to its name. There's a lot of it. A lot of lore and locations and puzzles. Some of the puzzles are obtuse to the extreme, and silly. There's one that's almost legendarily bad, so it has that bit of history if you're interested lol.
It's tough to say what's nostalgia and what's my preference and what's genuinely great. You'd probably have to play it to find out!
Looking for the new Baldur’s Gate 3 subclasses? Although patch 8 has a host of content to be excited about, arguably the most important is the 12 new subclasses. Below, we have a thorough breakdown of all 12 new subclasses in Baldur’s Gate 3, their associated abilities, levels and more.
Interesting that in the title, stated in absolute terms in the text, and from the designers they interviewed, they cite getting lost as crucial for the genre. Personally, I disagree. Getting lost has tended to be why I didn’t care for certain games in this genre, like Axiom Verge, and it soured my otherwise higher opinion of...
I hate inventory management, because it takes away from the fun parts of the game. When it is the game, they've made the effort to make it fun (or it's just a bad game).
If you like puzzle games, an inventory managenent game is just one of those, basically. It stands on how good the puzzles are.
His positions have swung around a lot, and apparently he's inclined to depression and moods swings? I hope he's come out of the cult thinking, at least, and making a new game is a sign he's not in that obsessive mindset anymore. I'm not interested in giving him my money, but it'd be better for everyone if he wasn't into conspiracies.
Happy new year guys!😀 Just now, it hit midnight here, and it’s officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it’s the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I’m curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?
It's generally implemented in a way that takes away fun. If a game had fun fights that were always intended to be strategic, it'd be ok, but when you have to kill identical mob after identical mob to progress in the plot, i don't see the point.
i remember getting bored and annoyed near the end of oblivion.
Today i decided to take it easy now that my Week is starting to lay off. I decided to Celebrate both 150 days and All my Finals finishing up, by playing a game important to me. I ended up playing Super Mario 64....
I don't think there's anything wrong with it. The genres I like keep getting new games, but if most games now were precision platformers or MMORPGs, I'd read more lol.
Just try to hold back the good ol days mentality, try new stuff if it catches your interest, and let yourself enjoy your 10000th replay of your favorites? You aren't against new things entirely, after all. You just don't make yourself play games you don't like. Somewhere out there is an indie developer with similar taste, also frustrated they can't find a game they want to play, and I hope you find them and add a new game to your list.
I was hoping to keep up daily Halloween-themed posts through all of October, but I had way too much on my plate yesterday and didn’t get a moment to myself until almost midnight.

enjoying jumpscares is probably like enjoying rollercoasters (which i do). the adrenaline burst feels great for some people, and other people hate it. It seems a shame to have lots of them in games where that sort of feeling isn't the point.

Played it and loved it. I know I should hold off and wait until it's complete before I play again, bit it's going to be tough not loading it up the second there's another update.
I can't say I've ever really liked a controller, so I never experimented with fancy ones. The one that was the most fine was the ps controller. the joycon was ok until drift kicked in. The xbox controller made my hands hurt after too long. I think if I'd had more xbox games back then I would have gotten more into controllers to find one for my tiny hands. I mostly prefer a keyboard.
This one’s been in early access for a while, but it’s finally hitting 1.0. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s a procedurally generated murder mystery immersive sim. A murder happens, you scan for evidence, track people by their address in the phone book, and make connections with red string yourself. When I played the demo a...
I had a fun time playing in early access, even with the bugs. I should check it out again when it hits 1.0. I recall generating a new location and immediately falling through the ground to my death and deciding i would wait a bit to play more.
I was in college around the same time and recall doing my usual minimum research for a new system and still to this day think "acer's crap, right?" when someone mentions it, even though the memory of why is gone.
