Has seriously no one mentioned The Last of Us? That’s crazy.
I think the second should be included.
As well as red dead redemption 2.
The storytelling is just top tier. Better than literally almost all media made today.

lol oh okay so you just have no idea what you’re talking about.
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 1 week ago:
Why’s that? I enjoyed cyberpunk. I mean, of course it was released with a fuck ton of problems, but that’s not on the studio, it’s on the money people behind the studio forcing them to release and start making their money back.

Mudvayne’s practice tapes
Wow. That’s the first and only mudvayne reference I may have ever heard. Even when they had that one song I can’t even remember playing on the radio. Crazy ref my guy

GTA Online still brings in a billion dollars every year. The next GTA will try to capitalize on that, and cannot, then, be perfect.

- Comment on Man, I really slept on Days Gone (mini review) 4 weeks ago:
I downloaded it on this rec and I’ve been playing the hell out of it the past day. Sweet game that’s filled the last of us void I’ve been in since finishing those games. Def different, but similar genres and themes (so far anyway).

lol what’s not good about the last of us 2? It’s an excellent story, really engaging gameplay, great storytelling, it’s evocative, gorgeous, gruesome, poignant, sad as hell, has tons of depth, great characters, cohesive and interesting themes, great sound, voice acting…you really can’t ask for much more from a game.

Hey! Dropping you a line in this AW2 thread too! lol
I love AW2. I think it might’ve been your post that made me pick up Control, actually. LOVED that! And the DLC is massive and so much fun. I loved the AW tie-ins.
We seem to have a pretty similar taste in games, so I’m glad to hear you loved and wanted to replay Silent Hill 2 right after playing it. That’s my next purchase, for sure. Although, where we differ is that I LOVE replaying games. Especially games like Cyberpunk, where the openness and discovery of the thing leaves a lot to keep finding. I mean, shit, I’m on an embarrassing number of playthroughs and im still finding new locations, new ways to interact or new pieces of each gig story to see. Love it.
My all-time games (I’m a very new gamer) are Cyberpunk, RDR2, AW2, and Control. I want to find more that strike me in the way these have.
- Comment on Day 105 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 months ago:
Hell yes! Dude I still have been replaying it. And finding new stuff. That DLC, too! It’s so damn good. Glad you’re enjoying it! And I’m glad you remembered to let me know hah! I wish there were more games like this.
- Comment on GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100 4 months ago:
The thing is, universal action like this, even on a fraction of the scale necessary to make a dent, just doesn’t work because people will always bow to capitalism. They’ll kick the dirt and grumble under their breath as they pull out their wallets.
- Comment on Day 183 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 4 months ago:
I LOVE cyberpunk. I just finished my [actual number of times I’ve played redacted] play through and I’m stopping myself from starting another. I don’t know what it is about it, but it’s just exactly up my alley. The choices they have you make, they styles of play it let’s you choose, it’s just preem-tier gaming for me. The DLC adds such a massive cherry on top, because it’s so goddamn good it rivals the best the game has to offer.
Enjoy, because it’s so fuckin fun.

So RDR2O is good? I love RDR2, and I’ve played the campaign to death. But I tried online and found it…meh. Maybe I didn’t invest in it and I was looking for a more cohesive story or maybe a helping hand in getting my toes wet, but it just felt like there was nothing novel or interesting to do. I’m sure playing with someone makes it a lot more fun. I was really looking for more of the campaign. That’s not what it is.
- Comment on Call of Duty's massive development budgets revealed: $700 million for Black Ops Cold War 4 months ago:
I mean, factoring in advertising costs and shit, especially with a huge advertising push, could make that total number rise dramatically. And when you actually have the government pumping you full of money, you find ways to spend it. When other games end up asking themselves if they can afford to ____ because the timeline is _____, this kind of production gets to say, “do it. Hire more people.” And it doesn’t have to involve crunch.

Are people really serious about liking him? I mean, I get that there was a lot of tongue in cheek SNL unfunniness in there. But…I felt it was painfully unfunny to watch. S
I’m saying this in the most genuine way possible, what is the appeal exactly? Is it the humor? The information? I was very surprised to see under that video is was on the trending list. I’d never heard of him. But everyone here seems to really like him as well.
Just curious. No hate

- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 5 months ago:
They’re the only games I enjoy. And I could’ve sworn I’ve seen people lamenting the loss of story-driven single player games in this era of GTA online all over the internet. These people are either looking at GTA online profitability and talking bullshit or they’re so goddamn deluded with their head so far up their own ass that they can’t tell their colon from their pancreas.
On the topic, anyway: my favorite games are RDR2, Cyberpunk, and Alan Wake 2. I wasn’t always a gamer, but the graphics have gotten so good and the stories so involved (in these here specifically) that I became one later in life. But now I’ve played all three of those games to death. Do you have any recs for similar games I might enjoy? I was just looking around the PS store and felt like I was swimming through nonsense. I really wanted to play Stalker 2, but it’s not out for PS5 yet. The next game I’m eyeing is a silent Hill 2 remake. Not a big fantasy person, either. I like stories with their feet in the real world. Don’t mean to single you out to give me advice, but figured I’d ask in case you had something you really liked.

Same here. My main wish for photo mode was more expressive body language choices, different, more naturalistic poses. Aiming option when a weapon is in hand. None of that was included unfortunately.

I’m the same way. I just want to live in those stories until I’ve played them and replayed them so much that the feeling goes away. Currently: cyberpunk.
