Violence. But that's not really due to gaming. It only helped me go numb to it. I often walk up to people I've killed in RDR2 and shoot them in the head with a shotgun of some sort just to watch their head explode. It's really funny to see them laying there, their head explodes, and there's nothing left but a stump. It's also why I play Hatred. I relate to The Antagonist and feel everything he does. Going out and killing every human that he encounters. The cops eventually get you, but you can make it into the PD and kill a lot cops them in there, as opposed to looking for civilians. But running out of ammo sucks.

Do you ever steer clear of certain areas in open world games just to prevent triggering events that will kill NPCs? Like I avoid the orc settlement near Riften in Skyrim because walking past it often triggers a giant attack I can’t always intervene with in time.

I'm not interested in the games, but thank you for having us.

I'm actually fine with that, I think graphics quality is at the level where we don't really need FMV anymore. And using only motion capture frees up creativity, and you are not constricted by how the actor looks like, of course you still have to get someone who matches your character in broad strokes, but if necessary you can use different actors for animating for the face and the body.

I can appreciate this mindset, and yes, I do. Failing that I save-scum trying to defeat the threat before the character dies. Going with your example of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, I frequently try to defeat the first giant you come across before the Companions do so I don't get scolded and feel welcome for my inevitable joining. But there's all manner of RPGs where I do the same, I just can't quite figure out which ones. They're mostly Elder Scrolls ones though, I can tell you that much. There's a lot of opportunities for this in Spyro the Dragon, where enemies try to trap, chase and eat the fodder which Sparx can use to restore his health. Destroy the trap(per) and the fodder can go on its pre-programmed route oblivious that its life has been saved.

I don't have a great interest in the games offered here, but would like to join @DC in thanking the VGR community for making 2021 such a good year for the VGR forum.

DELETE if not allowed i don't have a ps5, but my buddy in CO does. he sent me this:

If that's the case, then I believe that it's something that can work out well in getting you to house your gaming console's well. Most of my folks have their games set up in their living room.

Yeah, it's why they are new games, there is no way you would expect to pick up and be balling it like you own it immediately.

New games that you never played would always seem to be off the very first time you play it. It's after subsequent attempts that it gets to feel good.

That's it, and I follow such steps too. Never to talk much about game I never played before. I can only sound strong in a same I've known it's in and out.

I would never be a critique towards any games that I'm yet to play. It's something that's more common in the life of games fanboys.

That's how it should be buddy. You'll only come too critical of it when you've played it. From there you can either criticise it or applaud it.

If I'm choosing between car racing games and motorcycle racing games, my answer is obviously going to be car racing games no matter what.
