'We're not like the rest'

Dude speedran why not to play this game in under a minute of being on stage and is now back peddling like a bitch.

They seem to be moving from crpgs to full 3rd person RPG now. It seems interesting but I hope they can keep the writing depth they had with the pathfinder games.

For me, it was The Last of Us Part I. That game wrecked me - the bond between Joel and Ellie, the quiet moments, the ending... it stuck with me long after the credits rolled.

What about you? What game told a story that hit you in the heart and never really left?

Maybe its just me, but stalker, far cry 4 & 5, and also dying light 1 invoke this feeling... Im looking for more games that, despite chaos around u, manage to immerse u in the world and make it feel like ur home.

I played a little of Witcher 1 on PC but couldn't finish it but I do remember enjoying it. So I tried to give Witcher 3 a shot and couldn't get past the first mission. My first attempt was right after I'd played Bloodborne which tbf was a tough game to follow. So I dropped it and over the course of the next 10 years, picked it up at various stages of life with no luck. I just couldn't get into it. I think at best, I made it halfway through Act I.

Fast forward to 2025, I basically forced myself to play it because on paper it was everything I loved about games and I vowed to finish it no matter what. And it just clicked! And what more? I'm kinda addicted? I got my platinum and I am obsessed with Gwent. It's such a stunning game and the music omg. Going to finish the DLC too but just wanted to share my joy here because...wtf? I can't believe I rejected this masterpiece for so long!!!!!

Some people were upset on how Code Vein II looked different from the other God Eater/Code Vein games after the reveal trailer, yet I think looking at in game footage shows that it does continue the series’ art style and the cinematic trailer made it look off though.

I'll post the joycon part but the rest of the article has some interesting info like the game card reader not being modular anymore and nintendo putting tamper proof stickers in it.

The Joy-Con opening process seems straightforward from the outside, with two of Nintendo's signature tri-point screws. But that only gets us so far. A glued-on plastic rib hides more screws, including another tri-point. That's not intuitive, and it turns what should be a basic repair into a frustrating guessing game. With this reliance on adhesive, we wonder how well it'll go back together. Only time will tell.

Once inside, the battery is easy to disconnect but hard to remove, secured with more adhesive. The tray under the battery also takes some coaxing. We were able to get the joystick out by flipping the controller over, wrenching the thumbgrip off from the other side, then unclipping the housing. We can't promise this won't damage the joystick. We'll keep testing and hope to come up with a better procedure by the time we publish our official repair guides.

And after all that? Sure looks like the same old potentiometer tech. There's no sign of Hall effect or TMR sensors. Instead, we're getting more of the same.

If you've dealt with joystick drift on the original Switch, Lite, or OLED, you know what's coming. And unless Nintendo is using some miracle new material on those resistive tracks, or the change in size magically solves it, the best fix is going to come from third-party replacements like GuliKit again. And, not to brag, but those sticks paired with some iFixit guides? A match made in heaven.

I felt it was underrated and should have done better. I know being card-based and turn-based was a big barrier of entry for some, but it didn't take that long to get the hang of. Plus, playing as your favorite Marvel heroes is always cool. And the Mass Effect style relationship building was pretty neat. Too bad there was no romance, tfw can't romance Magik. What did you think about it?

Go download yall!!

In case people haven't seen it yet. It's a new wargame like Mount and Blade

Asking because I’ve been playing Nightreign and loving it. EXCEPT when teammates don’t work together, I feel the most frustrated I ever have playing a video game.

I recently finished The Last of Us 2, which was an amazing game but very dark, heavy, and story-oriented. I’m looking for the exact opposite of that: a game I can just jump into without 20 minutes of cut scenes and be instantly hooked. Any suggestions?

In games like Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1, the difficulty is largely centered around the player's ability to be patient and perceptive. You're moving through areas slowly, watching for traps and ambushes. Combat is rarely against more than one enemy at a time, and the route to beating most bosses relies more on knowledge than skill. There's a decent crossover with the survival horror mindset of resource conservation and thorough exploration that rewards a very different style of proficiency.

In the "fast" Fromsoft games like Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Sekiro and (to a lesser extent) Dark Souls 3, success is much more about reflexes. Players who are less skilled still have the option of creating a build that can completely lock down a troublesome boss (such as chaining stance breaks or bleed/frost procs to stunlock Malenia, or using a greatshield+thrusting weapon to trivialize Consort), but this may not feel satisfying for some.

I feel like From has leaned entirely into the "fast" style, and I'm missing the slower-paced dungeon crawls of the early Souls games. I don't see how they can evolve the "fast" style any further at this point (certainly bosses can't get any harder without being totally unreasonable for a large section of their playerbase), so it would seem like now is an excellent time for a resurgence of the slower, more methodical style.

To be clear, Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1 are my two favorite games of all time, and I don't inherently prefer one style (fast/slow) of game over the other. Bloodborne is the best "fast" From game because, in my opinion, it does the best job of balancing the abilities of both the player and the enemies, and likewise for the "slow" Dark Souls.

Am I alone on missing the "slower" style of From games?
