General gaming discussion

It's a stunning looking game. The art style is beautiful. Timeless. It's like looking at an old painting or photograph. They really nailed the landscape and weather. I wish they'd bring out a 60 FPS version/patch.

Also, it's hard to play the main game again when you know what happens to Arthur.

I think I might start it again, and just play prior to the touchstone point and fill out the animal compendium, do the fishing and card, board games. Chill. Dip in and out and leave it on instant resume on the Xbox. 😁

(Single player, not online version)

Would be great if an Avatar game was published where you could play as the RDA against the avatar: I'm getting sick of hearing the plaintiff quote : I was abducted and trained by the RDA.

I'd love to defeat the indigenous natives as an RDA fighter!

way back when, I bought game Luftwaffe Commander. There was also secret weapons of the Luftwaffe

Team Red will always be cooler than team blue

I never finished the game. You guys have convinced me, it's next on my backlog.

I originally played it on xbox. I'll pick it up on PC and hopefully get 60fps, although I'd imagine it's still quite taxing even on modern gpu's.

I had little gaming time back then. I'd try to get 20 mins here and there. I just remember mashing the A button to get from point A to point B, only to find out I'd to go to point C. Then it was time to turn off the xbox 😄

But to be fair it's not unique in that.

Avatar The Game from 2009. Apparently delisted from PC stores.

You play as RDA soldier for a bit and an Avatar at the start, then it makes you choose a side so you play the majority as either a soldier fighting the Na'vi or a Na'vi fighting the RDA. it saves it at the decision point so can do what I did and play all the way through as one then go back to that point and play again as the other.

The Na'vi gets to use creatures and all while the soldiers get to use machinery, as you'd expect.

ps plus last july

It's in the PS+ library but no + symbol beside it.

Maybe I did add it last summer but it's not a game I have much interest in playing. I don't know why I would do that.

One advantage of getting physical games only/mostly is that you know exactly what you have and what's left on the backlog. And you can trade them if you can't stand the sight of them. 😁

But, I guess it only works with consoles and not PC/SteamDeck ...

My Switch physical game collection fits in a shoe box. Mostly classics. Room for a few more if there are any next year. I do have a few digital games and DLC on Switch, but I'm not worried if I lose my account or get hacked. Similar for 3DS. If I don't like something off to CEX it goes. It's great !

Meanwhile I've some XBox digital games and DLC I've bought and free digital games lurking in some digital library that I'll never play and which tie me to the platform.

I am trying to go 100% physical on PS5, but I managed to snag Spiderman Remastered digitally with Miles Morales. There isn't a physical version of that game

It's weird. I hate digital. It just becomes overwhelming, like netflix etc etc. Too much bland content. Too easy to buy crap, especially when you've limited time to play games. Can't return it or sell it.

I really don't understand the concept of having a backlog, I have some game that I haven't gotten to yet, but wtf is with people hoarding tonnes of games that they are never gonna play? Also, not that I'm saying I see it here, but I really don't understand how people brag about this.

Yea this is pretty much where I am at. I pretty much plan out the broad strokes of what I am playing months in advance to make sure I get to everything I plan on buying. I wish I had the time to play everything, I havent even started Baldurs Gate cos I know I would need 3 months for it. I have that slotted in for late March after I finish FF7R 2.
