Digital if it's significantly cheaper than physical. If I'm paying physical prices, then I'd want the full package, disc and case. But also I've found a lot of times getting physical for a game day one can actually be cheaper than digital (in the uk) and that's insane.

I've only played 2 and I feel the same way about it. I wish more games did this approach of using an open world as a setting for a linear game to perform.

You get the best of both worlds with this approach. The feeling of the world being more real and lived in, whilst having the tightness of the storytelling of a linear game.

I've always defended how mafia 2 did it and never understood why people wanted it to be more open world. The story had me gripped too much to even think about that stuff.

I always find it weird in some open world games where something in the story is described as being a race against time or so important it needs to get done now, but as the player you can just forget that for a bit and go do something else before continuing. Even just the ability to do that takes me out of it.

I've read the Hobbit and the fellowship a few years ago. I absolutely adored the Hobbit, genuinely think that is an awesomely written book. Fellowship however, is not a fun read, despite the content in the book actually being good. But the act of reading it is not.

I wonder if it's going to go for the "how does the survivor deal with what happened to them and try to live a normal life" angle. I've always wanted a movie like that.

I kinda liked the uncanny valley from it in this because it made him look more like an android

I don't know if it could be classed as patient gaming. As I understand it, patient gamers will eventually get around to current games, just not now. It doesn't sound like she ever wants to play what's been released now due to her skewed views

Yeah I'm never going to play any of their games now in case I enjoy them.

Fucking awful. I loved DKO and haven't found a replacement for it yet. It had such good potential but they fucked up initially marketing it (the whole pay to access a f2p beta with the ability to get it free outright from giveaways) and then refusing to be transparent about updates and future dev for over a year just letting it slowly die.

I think legally you can download such software as it becomes abandonware. It is a grey area but there's also legal precedence set.

Okay... I don't now why that's massively relevant to what I was saying. I wasn't arguing anything in particular other than saying that I've not seen that stereotype being zoomer v boomer and mostly seen it millennial v boomer

I've not played it yet but beyond all reason is a new rts that's free and i don't think it's "free to play" free either but i might be wrong about that

 

I did a similar charity skate challenge last year with a goal of 50km with me finishing at 80km. This year my overtime goal is 150km if I get enough good weather to push myself beyond the 100km.

Millington's Magical Barn are a lovely vegan ran animal sanctuary that currently look after around 90 animals that were victims of neglect, abuse or were headed towards slaughter. At Millington's they wil be looked after for the lenght of their long natural life. They even look after a few disabled animals too.

Please donate if you believe in this cause, as well as motivating me to push myself further fitness wise!
