They were back on the right direction with 7, but 5 and 6 were nothing more than Left 4 Dead in 3rd person. It's not survival horror anymore since you can easily buy guns and upgrades on a shop that they get somewhere. It's not survival when you can just buy a rocket launcher and have infinite...

Time well spent I'm sure. I wonder sometimes how those people tend to fund their gaming. Clearly they're old enough to be out of college. Are they still living with their parents? Are they really rich to afford being in a game for 12+ hours a day doing absolutely nothing at all?

I remember doing the hardest difficulty just so I could get that light beam gun that instantly kills the plagas. Basically my tactic was shoot in the knee, kick, then swipe the knife non-stop while they are down. Unloading your ammo on even the most generic of enemies would just be a pain since...

Haven't played Red Alert 2 for a while. When I upgraded to Windows 10 a lot of older games just stopped working :persevere: Even Photoshop for some reason has been incredibly slow when before in Windows 7, it runs incredibly smoothly. I appreciate all the additions W10 gave, but the stuff they...

A few months ago when I upgraded from my Sapphire 7970 to a GTX 1060 6GB. It's a significant improvement both in performance in the game and in the software support itself. Radeon stuff have errors in updates and I can't even open their program most of the time. When I switched to Nvidia, every...

These video game items are an addiction on its own. It's not enough the games themselves are addicting, owning rare items in itself is another game where people spend real money for items with at least a 10x mark up rate. Virtual items cost more than their real life counterparts. How messed up...

Yeah, I have tons of work currently and I haven't even touched a game at all this week. I start the game, look at the start screen for a few minutes, realize this will take a lot of time and I really need to finish a lot of work, and I close it. It's sad considering when I was growing up, all I...

"Just stop playing" isn't very effective. Sure, you can stop for a day or two, but you'll eventually be back at it. The best you can do is moderate on the gaming time; for example if you play 8 hours a day, you can opt to just play 6 hours a day, then move down the hours gradually. It's a lot...

Funny like killing your visitors with fire? Or funny like removing the steps from the pool so the SIMS will be swimming for hours on end and dying while being extremely buff from all the exercise they did? I dunno, most of the "funny" moments in SIMS involve someone dying for some reason... :wink:

Lots of SIMS players in this thread. Only memorable thing in the recent SIMS games I played was that you could have pets in one of them (2 or 3, I forgot) and the pets can even take jobs. I thought that was pretty neat, since I've always wanted pets as a kid but the house never allowed them. I...

Yeah, everybody wants to be the hero. Too bad team games rely on teamwork rather than single accomplishments. A well coordinated team will beat any single player no matter how good he is. People can't seem to understand that. They just want to kill everyone and be the star, and they blame their...

The idea of "winning" for a bet really brings out the worst in people. You see people flaming, people yelling, people rage quitting; just basically dragging everybody down with them just because money - and not even real money, sometimes even just virtual currency - would make them hungry to...

What's roller coaster tycoon like? I played Lemonade Tycoon as a kid so I figure it's the same kinda thing? You own a small business and you buy stuff to improve it until you get rich? Haven't really played a lot of Tycoon games though I did find running a lemonade stand in the baseball stadium...

Lots of horror stories online about gamers who died from heart attacks and blood clots. The answer is pretty simple: if you die, you can't play anymore games. I've read about people who died in those 24 hour computer shops because the player didn't move the entire time while playing. They only...

Owned: 1. PS2 2. GBA (the big one without the LED light on the screen) Played (owned by relatives) 1. PS1 2. PS3 3. Gamecube 4. Brick game (if that counts lol)

PS2 and GBA for me solely because I had them as a kid, and played them for most of my childhood. GBA had Pokemon games that were incredibly fun and made me live out the adventures of the TV show, while PS2 had tons of games that really held their own even when they were beginning to phase the...

Just your basic black controller for me. I use it for my PC and it really does the job right so I can't complain. The expensive ones like specific video game themed decal would be awesome, but they don't really help in any way on the gameplay so I really don't like getting them, no matter how...

Didn't Playstation release a Vita or something a few years ago? Haven't heard from it since one peep of it in the news because of the release. Never tried it, never seen games advertise on being on it, and basically I've never really seen anything that resembles any sort of advertising for that...

Only time I buy add-ons is when the package deal includes them. For example, I really don't care about extra maps for Civ 5, but when I bought the Civ 5 game, they were having a sale on the entire package, with all the DLCs and maps included, so I bought it then. It was cheaper than the entire...

Haven't really been paying much attention to racing games. Every single time people ask that question, most would prefer Need for Speed games from the late 2000s rather than games today. But for me it hasn't really changed that much since the 90s. You start at the bottom, race against the AI and...
