I normally hate mini-games in games. Most of the time I’ll try them once and never touch them again.
But that coin game in Ghost of Yōtei? I’m completely hooked
It’s so simple but weirdly addictive. Every time I come across it I have to stop and have a few games. Didn’t expect to enjoy it anywhere near as much as I do.

We just finished Big Walk (and absolutely loved it) and are looking for recommendations on games to play with 5-10 people at a time.

We’re looking at: Valheim, Enshrouded, DragonWilds, Peak, Dune Awakening..

Like most dudes the consensus is “yeah man pick whatever and we’ll play it” so any recommendations I’ll take!

We’re big nerds that basically like anything!!

I'm a big fan of the fire emblem games, but I will admit that I didn't like engage. I found the combat to be as engaging as ever, but the anime tropes and characters were really annoying. I liked 3H, though. My issues is that I heard the new one is heavily skewed towards the out of combat activities, particularly the social features. Is this true?

Watching Shangri La Frontier made me think of some of the great Adventure JRPG's I've played over the course of my life. Games that I feel really nailed that sense of Adventure and discovery and excitement when finding a new major city/hub/settlement to trade and find new quests. The most recent games for me would be Octopath Traveler series, FF7 Rebirth, and Dragon Quest XI.

What games new or old really nail that sense of Adventure?

A game that doesn’t use stamina/gacha/VIP/resource speed-up/Ads/etc… mechanics. It can have ways to buy stuff, but the game itself is decided by skill/luck, and in no way decided by money. Cosmetics costing money is fine, but the core game must be $0.

I’ve noticed F2P games these days get a bad rap, but I know that there are games out there where greed isn’t the #1 priority. Sure it can be there with something like cosmetics, but I want this post to celebrate the good ones.

So what have you got?

Switch 2 Dock Hyperion 3 Joycons 120-game card case Cable bag (HDMI, USB-C, walls adapter) Four Switch 2 Pro Controllers

Plucked the foam, glued the upper and lower foam sheets together for rigidity, and Plasti-Dip'd the combined foam inserts for longterm strength. Great case for family vacations (especially flights).

what are some of the oldest game you have on your wishlist that you still haven't bought?

Getting an ultrawide monitor for my pc. Would you recommend an IPS display or a curved vga.? Getting them around same price. Currently have a 21 inch monitor.

Might be a weird question, but are there any internet sites where you can just download voice packs/announcer packs/voice lines from various characters to create for example stuff like soundboards or such, without ripping it out of the games directly?

I want to make some mods that adds characters from other franchises (and some of their voice lines) into a game and need voice lines for that and wonder if there is a easier way than extracting them from the games and browsing and cataloguing and assigning them manually. i'd need "barks" for like selecting and sending a unit and attacking a target and such.

I also thought of just recording them, but then you often have background noises like music or gunfire or walking etcetc.

Of course the mods will be free and all. And i am aware that this is still a grey area for many. But i am still curious if something like that exists.

Not naming the game on purpose, first of all i dont know if it will ever happen and second of all i dont want to promote, i just need info.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

So I have been in between games more often lately and I have been looking at my last played list to find a game that I can replay. I have come across games that I swear I just played, only to find I haven't played them in almost a year. I do purchase Early Access games a lot since its usually much cheaper, half to a quarter of the 1.0 price tag, so I tend to try games, quit to wait for major updates.

Is anyone else having this problem? I know its joked about having too many games(Steam X season sales) but those typically refer to unplayed games, I've played these games before which seem like only yesterday or last month that I played them when in reality, much longer. Another title is Enshrouded, I swear I just played it 6 months ago but my last played, 1.5 years ago... Granted I'm waiting on 1.0 this month but when I heard about it going to 1.0, it didn't even dawn on me its been over a year since I played...Valheim, just played, 2 years ago.... Too many titles, yet still fresh like I played them yesterday..

After finishing Onimusha, it's hard to go to other games. I tried Control Resonant, and it's a good game, but not like Onimusha. Sekiro is obviously also great. I've tried the Dark Souls games and Elden Ring, and while they're fine. I prefer faster paced games. I loved DMC, Ninja Gaiden. The new Jedi games. How is Stellar Blade? Any other games you guys would recommend? I tried Lies of P, but found it too slow.

And constant dlc?

I know people make posts like this a lot and they can seem repetitive and low effort; but I honestly want some feedback, suggestions, and to open up discussions on which game you prefer out of the two.. or would recommend the most..

I finished Onimusha and am just about done with Dawnwalker (both outstanding games btw; and I highly recommend them). But now I can't decide whether to get Control Resonant to play next or Gears E-Day?

So anyone who has had experience with both games; I'd appreciate your feedback, thoughts, and/or suggestions (without spoilers for either game pls). Thanks!

My wife and I are new parents, and she returned to work last week. For the first week of her being back at work, I took over all the nighttime duties, and playing Zero Company has been amazing. Being able to play with one hand while I’m feeding him or rocking him back to sleep has been a lifesaver. Also, our little guy loves Star Wars music, or it at least helps him fall asleep.

This is a seriously tough one, I know 😅

I just had a random shower thought: I wonder how many games have a number in them that isn't a part of a sequel. For example, Fallout 3&4 wouldn't count, but Fallout 76 would, as would Horizon Zero Dawn. All the Anno games fall in the grey area.

What weird titles come to mind for you?

Edit to add: not sequels, not prequels, not to indicate a number in a series of arbitrary canon/non-spinoff franchises. Final Fantasy is a prime example of what I'm NOT looking for. 😁
