| Does anyone else find it hard to get excited about upcoming games as they've gotten older? Posted: 10 May 2018 08:05 AM PDT I started wondering this the other day after I watched the new Red Dead trailer and am interested to hear if others feel the same way. Basically I find that despite playing games fairly often and trying to keep up with news about upcoming games, I just can't recapture that feeling I had as a teenager when a game I was looking forward to was coming out. Back when the first Red Dead Redemption was released I was 17. I was very big into Westerns at the time and loved any kind of Western themed game. So naturally I was fucking stoked about Red Dead. The entire year leading up to its release I was constantly checking for news about it, posting in Rockstars forum, rewatching the trailers and teasers over and over. I spent every day counting down to the release. I don't think there were any other games I've been excited for as much as that one and when I finally got to play it was incredibly satisfying and I spent probably that whole week completely engrossed in the game world and story. Fast forward 8 years later (holy shit does time fly) and I'm 25 and Red Dead 2 is right around the corner. Now, although I'm looking forward to the game, I just can't feel that same excitement I did back then. Maybe part of it is just that I've got more stress and other things going on my life now but the "magic" of games just seems to be gone for me. After watching the new RDR2 trailer my reaction was pretty subdued. I thought it looked cool and I'm sure will be a great game but I'm not marking it off on my calendar and checking off the days. I just figure that when the game does release I'll no doubt hear about it and then pick up a copy eventually. I know though that if 17 year old me was the one watching that trailer his mind would have been blown completely. I would have had a completely different attitude to the "Eh it looks cool I'll check it out eventually" attitude that I have now. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Is it just a symptom of getting older and being burned out by the "hype cycle" surrounding new games? Most importantly is there a way to recapture that same feeling I had when I was younger and actually get myself excited about gaming again? Interested to hear your thoughts on this.

| Has there been any games like Full Spectrum Warrior? Posted: 10 May 2018 08:43 AM PDT Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out if there are any modern games being made that follow the same theme of a real time strategy shooter style gameplay. I was trying to replay the game but the graphics haven't aged that well for me, do you guys have any suggestions for games that are similar? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 May 2018 12:03 PM PDT I've been reminded of this by the thread looking for good mobile games. 10 years ago I'd hoped one day that phones would have the power to play GBA, DS or flash games. We made it there and I was excited to see a new market open up. Proper RPGs, Visual Novels, Action Games or Puzzlers were possible. Concept games were free apps, using gyro and touch screen to play around with things, bowling and fruit ninja come to mind. Afew years went by though and the mass market's short attention-span built a new market. Flappy bird clones, temple run, doodle jump, candy crush and angry birds began to dominate the market. The only thing these had in common was the quick-fix they gave, this already spelled the end for "proper" games. The microtransaction era was ushered in, I personally attribute this to Zynga experimenting on Facebook, FarmVille had people hooked and they introduced the real money dollars to speed up the fix. The thing that confuses me about the small transactions is that most people would overlook a £10 game but will pour £20-30 into a free game to rush construction or get new units. I had hoped the Nintendo Switch would satiate my thirst for real games on the go but it's slightly too big to be in a pocket and people are porting the same shovelware from mobile onto it and muddying the waters. Maybe I'm being pessimistic about the whole thing, if I am please change my mind, I'd like to have some hope for this industry. Ps: I'm aware I can play on an emulator but there is never anything new for old consoles. [link] [comments]  |
| Can someone these days enjoy a new videogame without following the hype? Posted: 10 May 2018 02:03 PM PDT These days every new announced game gets weekly 20 articles/discussion threads on big social media sites like Reddit. And when the game eventually is released, almost every popular gaming youtube channel releases its 20 minute video review. And then you have the metacritic of that game having 100 reviews. So to get to the point for the reason I created this thread. After you go buy your game digitally or at a store, you are not that excited anymore, because even though the game is released 2 days already, internet gaming culture has discussed this game till death.

| Would you play a Dirty Harry video game? Posted: 10 May 2018 09:25 AM PDT Dirty Harry has (yet) thank god been one of the few franchises that contemporary Hollywood has not remade. This has meant that as a franchise it has retained an aura of mysteriousness and is iconic and thus a video game might garner some interest. As a video game might do more justice to Dirty Harry than a Hollywood remake could. Ideally a Dirty Harry game would be free roam. Set in 1970's San Francisco (although you should be able to travel around at least other areas in California) you would play the titular protagonist but it would not be based on any of the films. The player would be able to explore a thriving (but conflicted) city. You could travel around the game (on trams as well as cars and buses). It would give players to chance to bust crime but unlike Mafia 3, there would be lots of chances to do side missions unrelated to the main storyline. Plus Harry Callahan blurs interesting lines because he is brutal but nonetheless tries to uphold the law. Advantages of such a game. 1) Iconic. Dirty Harry is arguably the greatest thriller film ever and set the pace for cop films as they are known today. People would play for the nostalgia alone. It has yet to be touches by a Hollywood remake and retains a fresh aspect. 2) While lots of cop film have explored LA and New York. San Francisco is a city worth exploring further. 3) The 1970's is an interesting era for games. The themes of urban decay and unresolved tensions remain. Furthermore, there is transport like we know today (cars, planes, etc,etc). However, there is still an old school feel. Although I don't believe the Golden State Killer was active much in San Francisco it has nonetheless brought back an interest into the serial killers of the 1970's (and 80's). Maybe Dirty Harry there could be side missions exploring one of these. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 May 2018 12:50 PM PDT Hello, fellow reddiotrs! We are announcing the Kickstarter of True Mining Simulator – a PC strategy-tycoon game allowing you to sell your kidney, when you are out of money (cryptocurrency as well). A real-like mining simulator, where player will experience all the problems that day to day cryptocurrency miners encounter. In a hurry? Check our gif - https://media.giphy.com/media/1o1uazgBi4iIWVnLLy/giphy.gif If you got only 10 seconds check our game's coub – http://coub.com/view/14ci0a 45 seconds? Great – our teaser! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWJgIDSo2fs And the Kickstarter page itself: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/753928237/true-mining-simulator?utm_source=reddit We want to show a fast-growing market of cryptocurrencies in our game: how from electricity and videocards non-existent money are extracted, which later are exchanged for real ones and are spent in the most unexpected way The player needs to monitor his equipment, predict (or guess) the behavior of floating exchange rates, plan farm and entertainment expenses, quickly solve incoming problems (for example – extinguishing burning video cards), fight stress with the help of alcohol and chaste girls. And if something goes wrong, you can always sell the kidney. For the first time the game was demonstrated to the public at the international game conference DevGAMM in Minsk. Now we are working on Kickstarter, and our next step is alpha version of the game, and it will be released summer 2018. [link] [comments]  |

| Tiny indie games scoring higher than AAA mainstream titles Posted: 10 May 2018 09:54 AM PDT For the last few years, every time I try to search for reviews and good games to try out I have to filter out all the little indie games scoring tons of hype and rave reviews to find the more comprehensive bigger games. Tiny games like Pyre scoring 9.7 from IGN while massive undertakings like Witcher 3 score a 9.3? Undertale scoring a perfect 10 while Dark Souls 3 scores a 9.5? Celeste getting a perfect 10 while World of Warcraft Legion gets a 9.1? I get that these titles are good games, but they last a handful of hours and use pixel graphics half the time. I'm just venting a bit here but, when Pyre is somehow considered to be a better game than Witcher 3 the world just stops making sense. Pyre is a 10 hour straight forward adventure, Witcher 3 is a world and a universe and you can spend more time in just the first map alone than you spend on the entire Pyre game without running out of things to do.

| Posted: 09 May 2018 10:56 PM PDT I know that there were wars in the Old Testament, but Jesus and Paul practiced nonviolent resistance, for example Video game: The prison falls apart, Paul and Silas escape while parrying strikes from guards in their way Bible: Paul and Silas just sit there to show that they don't engage in dishonest conduct and that they have committed no crime that would justify running away I was thinking that why don't more video games put real life religions in them, and I realized besides the demographics problems that lots of video games use "Whop the bad guys" as the solution to injustice. Whereas in the examples of Jesus and Paul they did nothing of the sort. I know Ehud was practically a ninja but we literally use Jesus' lack of violence to show that He is above how humans act. So even if you did mention Jesus, how would you make a game that people would actually want to play without violence, that has an actual conflict? By which I mean Frogger and Minecraft have non violent options but there is no good or evil in those games besides not dying. Mario, Zelda and Sonic have heroes and villains but the heroes only win through superior force. And before you mention Undertale the reason that game was so shocking was that its nonviolence moral made you play completely differently from most video games to do so, the exception that proves the rule. So I mean even if you switched "I prayed to Hylia" to "I prayed to God" would that make Zelda any more Christian? Showing you're better than villains by doing what they do just for the other side?

| Posted: 09 May 2018 06:11 PM PDT Yep the title is about as plain and clear as it can get. I want to know your top five favorite games. I'm going to post mine in the OP later because of the raw difficulty it is for me to choose. I'm assuming #1 will be your favorite and #5 the least, I'm super interested in your comments. 5 Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time: classic title and played by almost every kid born in the 90s this was a absolute golden masterpiece during its time and still holds up to this day.4 The last of us: This one hit home for me pretty hard as did it for a lot of people I know. The fact there's a second game coming out solidify its spot at #4 for me3 Fall out new vegas: This game was one of my first big open world games (I missed Skyrim) something about it really hit me harder then Fallout 3 and 4 it had a very different feel to it that holds a special spot in my heart after replaying this game 20+ times and beating the dlcs countless times it definitely scores the #3 spot without a doubt.2 Bioshock: This game is simply badass no other word to use the genetic splicing the madness it really is a true game of champions. To this day I haven't met a single soul who hasn't at least gave this game 10 minutes.1 Bloodbourne: So I could go on for a while about this game the fact it's HP Lovecraft proof and it was born out of a already bad ass trilogy which I will say the same for Bioshock. This game had a certain feel to it, something I loved about the madness and beasts the true philosophy to it and the breath taking art and game play drew me in. I've beat this game so many times I've lost count tried every build path one could go and to this day I still boot it up and replay it time to time Bloodbourne truly is my #1 favorite game period.[link] [comments]  |
