How is everyone doing?

I'm curious what the earliest video game memory is for everyone, and the story behind it.

Closing in on 900 posts.

I am very excited to play Cyberpunk 2077 and believe it will be a revolutionary game in terms of graphics and storyline, however, this is embarrassing. I don't know if it's bad PR or incompetence but people should lose their jobs over this. It's a total shame.

Windows has almost undisputed dominance in the PC gaming market simply because most PC games either don't run on competing operating systems at all or run worse. But attempts have been made to render Windows-only games compatible with other operating systems ( e.g. through compatibility layers like Wine and Proton). If there is a piece of software in the future that allows you to run a game on any operating system with minimal problems, what operating system would you like to use on your PC?

Will you go back and play some of the critically acclaimed good games that were unbelievable at the time and really pushed the envelope of what games might be, which may seem a little visually outdated today? Or are you mostly just focusing on what's new? Or do you refuse to play any old games and just stick to what's new? And a bonus question: do you think it's important to go back and check out the classic masterpieces? Why? Why not?

How is everyone doing so far this week?

I'm closing this thread in a couple days!

Never heard of it. Why don't you tell us more?

Because you're promoting a game as your first forum post. I'll leave this thread open but please contribute to the forum - you and your content will receive more respect from our established community members.

Forum just recently passed 40,000 posts. On our way to 41,000 😄

Seems appropriate but again hope he got arrested too, otherwise I would say he got off easy.

Remember, you can participate 2x daily. Ending this soon.

@Shagger If you could have an all-expenses paid trip to see any famous world monument, which monument would you choose?

@Dead2009 how are you? Been a while since you've been online, everything ok? 🙂

Antman 2 - 4/5

What is a really good game, but only noticed by a few? If you'd like to point out one hidden gem of a game, what would it be? Which other hidden gems are you suggesting?

This has been known for a while, but watching the PC Gamer show and the Guerilla Collective over the weekend really strengthened this. Now, there were a lot of games announced for the consoles along with the PC games shown, but I noticed that almost none of the indie games from smaller studios left switching off if they came to the consoles. In fact, I also noticed that some indies had just been announced as coming to PC and Switch and skipping XB1 and PS4 for the time being. It's so crazy how many indies the Switch has prioritized over the other consoles. Looking back to 2013 when the PS4 was announced, and you wouldn't disagree with it if you said that the PS4 would be the console of choice for the Indians. Particularly with how everyone talked about the easy-to-develop-architecture and the fact that Sony was putting a ton of indie games on their stage. And maybe even if you thought it would be the XB1, considering the 360 's approach to indie games was pretty good at the time. It was definitely a surprise when the switch came in, and suddenly there was an indie powerhouse. I think I 'm talking to a lot of people when I say I didn't see that coming 3 years ago.

A lot of consoles have had the ability to position them vertically in the last few years. Many of these machines are designed to look their best vertically (especially PS5). How many of you put your machines vertically? I think the only system I've ever done that was with the PS3, and because of limited space, in all other cases, my consoles have always been horizontal.

I've all but dropped this game for 2 months due to a lack of content. Comparatively, I played New Leaf for 6 months before slowing down because there was a lot more to do right off the bat. While they've added some new stuff, primarily to be able to change your island, I don't think it's enough to counteract what's gone. Cutting content from the base game to slowly feed it through updates to gradually prolong the life of the game has really reduced my interest in continuing, maybe I'll get back to it a few months later when there's more to do, but as it stands the game feels very empty. I know this is a stupid thing to say, but does anyone else feel it?
