  1. Are you setting yourself any personal goals or targets for gaming in 2022? I know we're not quite there yet, but after a rotten 2020/21 I decided it was time to start looking forward. I've set myself a few goals to try and hit, all of which are on PlayStation platforms, and using TrueTrophies to guide me... 65% Completion including Owned DLC (by 31/12/22) Starting at 56.68%, 396 trophies left with 434 days to go (an average of 0.9 per day). 50 Platinum Trophies (by 31/12/22) Starting at 31, an increase of 19 over 433 days. Complete Final Fantasy VII (by 30/06/22) Starting at 12 trophies, an increase of 20 trophies over 249 days. I'm not pushing the boat out with these by any stretch, but it's something to aim for and hopefully go some way to clearing a bit of my backlog.

  2. What are some interesting RPG mechanics you’ve run across? Like, I think the “flaws” system in The Outer Worlds is interesting/distinctive.

  3. Those are great die-casts. There's so much metal used in the construction. I have so many Chevy Stepside toys of all brands. I think I only lost a couple on the playground when I was young.

  4. If you can stomach its age, I'd strongly recommend checking out the old Gothic games, where you can have a whole lot more than one summon. You can summon as many skeletons and whatnot as your mana will allow. Now that's a game that makes you feel like you're in control of a necromancer army! More impressive than summoning though is being able to craft spells, which I believe was introduced in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. But I'm more of an alchemy man myself; potioncraft and cookery is my cup of tea in roleplaying games these days (even when it's as 'authentic' as in Kingdom Come: Deliverance).

  5. While this looks awesome (I'm especially a HUGE fan of GTA III), it's crazy that Rockstar will release just about anything to prolong the release of GTA 6 lol

  6. @Darth and I have previously said about teaming up to organise some kind of community game for Among Us.. Perhaps we could get VGR involved also, @DC?

  7. How about the summons in Skyrim? The use of magic mechanics in the game is one thing that stands out for me.

  9. Activision did a very good job with what they did on Destiny 2 production. They use to be careless with some of their games but not with Destiny 2.

  10. I only managed to collect 1980s Yatming Chevy Stepside Red Pickup Truck for how. I'm still looking at getting my hands on more.

  12. There were so many it would be hard to list them all. Here are 10 of the best. Test Drive III: The Passion 1990, this was basically my introduction to PC gaming, and as a kid I was obsessed with cars, so this game blew my mind. I've played some games before this one on other systems but I wasn't much about videogames before this one, this changed everything. I immediately wanted a PC. But it was at least a year later until my parents had the opportunity to buy a retired PC from the company they worked for. For an 8 year old a year is an eternity. Stunts. 1991 This was my favorite racing game for years, mainly due to it having a track builder. I used to plan maps on paper during the day while I was in dreary boring daycare, that I would build after I got home in the evening. Doom II 1994 The first FPS game that I really liked, John Romero is a genius for the level design of this game is another level, a level that I haven't seen since. if someone asked me to name the most perfect videogame this would be it. The Need of Speed 1995. The racing game that stepped up realism to an adequate level, everything before this was a joke, now we were getting serious. Command & Conquer 1995. My real introduction to real time strategy. I played Dune II but it was just a game for me it didn't really stand out. But C&C was a genre defining game, and it's sequel, Red Alert ended up as my most anticipated game ever, dethroned only by The Last of Us Part II. Transport Tycoon Deluxe 1995. The most satisfying game, one I still occasionally play to this date. There is no other game like it. It is timeless. I indeed played it this year too. That is 26 years later, I just want you to feel the weight of that. Other games become obsolete and not really satisfying to play without modern upgrades and remasters. Carmageddon 1997. I've mentioned my obsession with cars, but it's only half of the story, I was/am also obsessed with crashing cars, and this was the first game that allowed that with any kind of realism. So of course it become an instant favorite. The first game I stayed up until 1 am to play. Half Life 1998. If Doom II is the perfect game level design wise, this is the perfect one gameplay wise, shooting was never so visceral and enjoyable before, or since. I completely forgot time when this came out, and I only realized after 4am that I probably should go to sleep. That never happened to me since then, a complete loss of sense of time. System Shock II 1999. The most creepy and atmospheric game ever created. Bioshock is a mainstreamized knock off of System Shock, nothing more, this is the real deal. Gut wrenchingly scary, complex, but not overbearing. DeusEx 2000. Finally the model game that all games should be trying to dethrone as the best immersive simulator. Unfortunately that still hasn't happened to this date.

  13. I'm checking that out right away. If they did updated that and made it compatible, it's good initiative from their end.

  14. GT is one of those racing game a gamer who is into racing wouldn't get his attention off. I simply love the graphics, the gameplay is superfluous.

  16. Yes, gaming addiction isn't worth it at all. We shouldn't spend too much of our time simply for video games. We should play and have time for other things too.

  17. Games addiction isn't healthy at all, I really feel strong pity for anybody who's suffering from it because they are hanging by a thread.
