Almost exclusively. For whatever reason I shifted into playing female characters at some point after Mass Effect 3. If I can create a character who choose who to play then I almost exclusively choose the female option.
A gaming laptop if you've any interest in gaming with it. If you catch a sale it's not too hard to find something with decent performance for a reasonable price.
Do it. I'm of the mind that all the old fogies still cluttering up development should be nudged into retirement. I'd love to see Zelda move on without corporate and managerial mandates saying it has to adhere to a particular gameplay and narrative formula.
I'm pretty sure the solution to each puzzle is highlights on the wall of the opposite shrine. There's a second shine on the mountain that offers the solution it the first, while the first contains the solution for the second.
I recommend taking a screenshot.
The only thing I tend to keep in mind is how consistently incompetent the monarchy is. They're typically portrayed as idiots with no foresight, no record-keeping, and whose military forces crumble at the drop of a hat.
War.
War never changes.
The year is 1992. Wolfenstein 3D hits store shelves. While technically the third entry in the Wolfenstein series, the first two entries are but whispers on the gentle brush of gaming history. Fresh on the market with weapons to wield, floors to descend, and Nazis to...
Today I did a little fleet managing at my fleet manager job by reassigning a driver to pick up an assigned load after the original driver called off work sick. I consulted their dispatcher's board that contained all the relevant information on who to use and what loads were assigned to them...
In a world where AMD and Nvidia quit jorking each other off and produce meaningful upgrades? A new GPU. I'd like to get something more powerful, but the Nvidia 40x series just felt like a waste of time when I've got a 3070 in my PC.
Despite being knee-deep in Dragon's Dogma 2 I've decided to pick up a copy of the System Shock remake. It's been on my radar for a minute now and I decided to take the plunge after I spotted it for 50% off on GOG.
Dragon's Dogma 2.
Like the first game this is a bit of a weird one. It's mechanically fun, but can often be obtuse in its design or frustrating it's repetition. It's got some great combat and exploration mechanics, especially the returning ability to cling monsters, but that combat is often...
I tens to be a back sleeper. I'll sometimes roll on my left side when I'm shifting around and trying to get comfortable, but I'll always shift to my jack in the end.
I tend to be a creature not habit. I settle on something I like and tend to stick with it. Heck, I'm such a dull creature of habit that I will seek out a restaurant's menu before I get there so I can order right away without having to waste the server's time.
It depends on the streamer. I'm not really interested in watching someone play a game so much as I am interesting commentary and interactions. It has to be the sort of streamer who can entertain me without being the focus of my screen.
Helldivers 2 and Dragon's Dogma 2 are my current obsessions. They're both great in their own ways, but there's a certain chaos to HD2 that not many games can replicate.
I think the caves could be fun, but I think it would have been nice if we saw differing themes throughout, like how Elden Ring mixes up its own side dungeons as caves, dungeons, and tombs.
Many, but probably Elden Ring. That's a game that blows your expectations out of the water with how big it is. You'll spend dozens of hours in game and think, 'There's no way they could drop a whole other region on me,' and then the game reveals some huge secret area you didn't know about before.
Usually, no. The old Xbox 360 days of racial and homophobic slurs being hurled through cheap pack-in headsets ingrained in me that voice chat with randoms is to be avoided. When I'm in voice chat it tends to be with friends and is usually done through an external client like Discord.
Until the...
Since I'm 31 now that'd put my halfway mark at around 2008/2009-ish. My favorite game from that era was definitely Dragon Age Origins. It was Bioware's last big hurrah into the realm of complex RPGs, since from Mass Effect 2 onward their stuff would be streamlined and simplified per the EA...
It depends. Most of my stuff is wired (barring my earbuds, since phone companies suck and my Pixel 7a lacks a headphone jack), but I do use wireless headphones at home. There's something freeing about getting up to do the dishes without breaking the rhythm set by whatever video essay I'm watching.
I don't think there's any world where I'd prefer motion controls over standard button stuff in a third person game, especially with the Switch's primitive gyro motion controls.
Well, that's what they've been doing for decades now. Zelda has always been a series of incredibly disconnected games. Even the direct sequels try their hardest not to be.
Might I recommend checking your controller? I don't recall having any significant issues with the game's controls. Heck, it felt to me like controlling Link was more precise in BotW, since stuff like jumping used to be automatic half the time.
The real question is will the next Nintendo console have betters specs than the Steam Deck, a portable gaming PC that can run modern PC games and that will currently cost you $350? :eyes:
Turret sections are one of those trends from the seventh generation of gaming that seemingly came and went alongside the brown cover shooters with chest high walls and chonky space marines. Video games that were previously high (or at least medium-well) energy would come to a halt, freeze the...
I guess in terms of pure collectability, but it doesn't feel good from a content and price point perspective. It's asking players spend $60 on a gussied up GameCube game with a fancy hat. I'm sure people will, because Nintendo, but I'd still point to emulation as a superior option.
Nintendo...
So I'm taking that Pokemon Z announcement as a sign that the Switch U is heading for some sort of release next year maybe. I'm basing this mostly on how bad all the open world games on the Switch have looked even though the system can run Breath of the Wild, so they're probably waiting to show...
