I had an older (VGA) port on my old monitor and didn't have newer ones like HDMI. When I upgraded to a 1060 6GB, the cables weren't compatible since apparently the old monitors have been phased out and won't be able to use newer graphics cards without having massive set backs in terms of quality...

For me it's pretty simple; whenever I am addicted to a game, I just keep playing. Yeah. I play and play, one playthrough after another, until I have done absolutely everything and anything in the game that you can possibly do. This includes: 1. All main quests, side quests, and all consequences...

Like you're in the game yourself? I've never had that. Most game related dreams I have are those where I'm playing and I know I'm playing. I have those when I played a new game and I'm still trying to discover stuff. When I go to sleep, I just revisit those levels I played but nothing more than...

Trailers often lie. Lots of games show "footage" that don't look even close to what the game actually showcases, and the videos are just enhanced versions to entice people into pre-ordering the game. It's main goal is to hype people up; it's not the trailer's job to actually explain what happens...

I play the default difficulty on the first playthrough. It's how the game devs wanted the game to be played, so I go there. For speed run challenges after I finish the game, I go easy mode; and I do the harder difficulties since most games have an achievement for completing them anyway. It's...

I thought it was great. A return to old form from which the franchise was built upon. I played it and it's first person, but it's not just "shoot everything until it's quiet" since there's not a lot of ammo available in the game, and you have to decide whether to waste it on common mooks or save...

The sniper duel in Snake Eater was also fun. I didn't know about the calendar cheat on my first playthrough I had to really work hard trying to spot an old man in a dense forest. Holy crap that took a while. It was frustrating and enjoyable at the same time, and I haven't experienced another...

Work has been more this past few weeks I haven't played a lot lmao. I think I played a few minutes at a game, stare at the start-up screen, realize this is going to take a while and I still have a lot of work needed to be done, and I close it. Price of being an adult with responsibilities, huh...

It's a superior version of the arrows I agree. I remember when the transition happened between PS1 controls (where direction buttons are absolute) into using analog sticks, I thought it was clunky and I might destroy it from use. But it ended up a lot better than directional arrow keys since you...

Which sucks because they can make a game that's both great and worth spending hundreds of hours over. Too bad that needs far too much work to be done, as well as DLCs to be made; but hey, at least they don't have to do any of the bug fixes since the modding community handles it without ever...

Used to be Bethesda (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Dishonored) but since they just can't let the idea of paid mods go, I lost faith in them. DLCs of Fallout 4 didn't help much either; very expensive DLCs (twice the base game's price at one point) for just items and junk, with little areas and stories...

I have different approaches when it comes to video games and movies. For movies, I don't watch any of the trailers because they spoil a lot of the story and you kinda know what happens even before the movie starts. For games, I have to do my research because it's not just a few hours of watching...

Yeah I thought "arcade" referred to token games in gaming centers too. That's why I was confused when I didn't recognize the games they were talking about. Last "arcade" game I played was a Street Fighter game I think, and since whenever you lost you had to insert a token (which was expensive)...

Nothing ruins a game more than those noobs who try hard to rage on everyone because they suck at the game. It's a pain to deal with, and I'd rather not lose MMR because I played with kids who leave when things go rough, or complain to everyone when they keep getting killed. It's annoying but...

It was fun though. When RE started to transition into a more of third person shooting game, it started to get really bland and boring. Lots of games do that, and with Resident Evil's zombie theme, it's not that unique compared to survival horror and puzzles. Left 4 Dead games did a far superior...

Minesweeper was one of those games that I never bothered to get good at. Just keep clicking on things until you die, I say. The only good games in the Windows freebies are Pinball (RIP) and solitaire since everyone can enjoy a good game of arranging cards every once in a while. But Minesweeper...

Online games are usually the worst during afternoons though. Lots of kids coming home and playing, meaning you'll get a more toxic experience with flamers and rage quitters when playing online games. Even more so in ranked. I play during the evening near midnight since the kids would be asleep...

Older Resident Evil games were scary not because of the story, but because of the gameplay. It's hard to navigate through the areas with a fixed camera angle, and aiming is a bitch as well. The likelihood of you making a mistake because the controls are slow or you get stuck in an area because...

I didn't like 6. I preordered it and played it immediately after the game unlocked on Steam. It was at midnight. I played an hour, then asked for a refund. I'm playing 5 again right now. 6 was such a disappointment for me I didn't even think twice about getting the refund; I'd rather move fast...

I still would have wanted to play aged Solid Snake though. But hey, most people who played 5 apparently have one thing in common, they all thought the ending (or at least the final parts) felt rushed and it really ruined a good game. That's the only thing I hear when people talk about Phantom...
