Anyone here play video games?

@Nick very true. i think the ceo made a good point in an interview that anybody could do it. They just don't. I guess the point was that its a high risk - high reward thing. Its kinda like what i appreciate about a Hideo Kojima game. I'm here for it too though. It takes a certain level of crazy to go all-in on something that requires so much effort, capital, etc. then also a certain amount of luck to pull it off. Idk if i'd want every iteration of a game to be 15 years in between though...
And the current gens tech, is starting to look really impressive. When PS5 launched, i thought it was a marginal incremental boost over PS4, but this game looks almost like a new platform. It does always seem to take till about the end of a cycle till they really push it though.

@WhiskeySandwich the original was totally responsible for teaching me driving mechanics. GOURANGA!!

I was neutral on GTA 6 up to this point, but after this preview I'm fully hyped. Might even get a console instead of waiting for PC version.

Apparently you won't have to continually mash X to sprint anymore. Suddenly I'm a lot more interested in GTA6.

GROUNDED 2 (EARLY ACCESS!) PS5... Buy now, get the future updates for free. Game is fantastic.
I love how often I get frustrated and have to watch a shitty arse YouTube clip of a man with a shitty arse moustache wearing a stained wifebeater,
nonetheless the cold hard facts are he's obviously smarter than I am, cause he figures it out and I'm watching the bleeding clip.

@Nick Humming the ocarina tunes instead of manually inputting them is a huge quality of life improvement haha

@Tago-Mago I'm thinking of getting the special edition one, but they seem to be sold out and scalpers and reselling them... I think they'll restock, though

Not long now. Going to avoid all discourse and reviews on launch day and the week that follows. Already seen some triggering knee-jerking (no doubt the biggest game of all time will somehow leave certain gamers a little overwhelmed then underwhelmed). There's a generation of kids that just played GTA Online that think GTA6 is going to be a life simulator. Anyways. Soon, we ride.
Elsewhere, Ocarina of Time is beautiful. If you have kids, get them to play it (esp if it's an introduction to gaming). If you don't, then claim the nostalgia. The game was ground breaking when released 30 years ago. Nintendo have done a magical job is aligning it to modern day tech. Win after win after win for them this past year.

@Nick yeah, their loss for snoozing on the "later 2026" release date. They're going to miss out on that holiday money.
I am probably going to take off next friday for release, like all the other nerds. seems obligatory at this point.
Also couldn't care less what the review outlets and "influencers" have to say about it, or anything for that matter.

@Seul Disco Elysium is absolutely top tier but I've heard mixed reviews for Zero Parades... athough I do wonder how much of that is to do with the game itself and how much is to do with what happened with ZA/UM.
I'm pumped for Red Rooster, hopefully we will get a few more Disco-inspired games from the team that worked on Disco Elysium.

I didn't let the whole debacle at Zaum enter my opinion... I wouldn't be able to play SUBNAUTICA 2 either if I did...
DISCO ELYSIUM is insurmountable... I played and finished the FINAL CUT version a handful of times... Loved it... But ZP is equally as good if you give it a fair chance...
It has definitive QOL upgrades, a gripping story, a healthy dose of surrealism and humour... Soundtrack isn't as good and it isn't outrageously weird... But it'll do... -
Hi everyone, I just discovered this thread and I'm wondering if anyone is playing Counter Strike 2?
Or if anyone has a recommendation for a good game to play?
