In some respect graphics is already better than that. The CGI of the cars actually looks much worse than top racing games of yesteryear. The animations are also not that great, for example TLOU2 has far superior character animations. And the character models are comparable in Detroit Become Human So individually we already seen everything done this good or even better. The only thing that is better than what I've already seen in games available currently is the ray traced lighting.

Actually VR has already had an attempt in the 90s, so it's really not that new. Yeah the technology was worse then but the concept was exactly the same. It's actually pretty amazing that they already achieved full head tracking in the mid 90s for VR. My opinion is that if VR was going mainstream it would have already done so by now. It seems to me that the hype around it is dying down actually. I haven't really heard anyone mention VR until now, since the hype about HL:Alyx died down. I don't think VR headsets are going away completely but they'll be a niche accessory that only a few people will invest in. Much like racing wheels and sim rigs.

I've recently purchased Snowrunner after playing it on games pass. I also purchased Jedi Fallen Order after playing it on EA Play, but it was only 40 cents to buy, so as my late grandfather would say: For that kind of money I couldn't leave it there.

No, I'm not referring to games that were cancelled, but games that were made and available, and you wanted to play just didn't for various personal reasons before they went completely out of date.

Then there would be two topics for "Game of the generation" Then how would you tell them apart? You really don't see that as a possible source of confusion?

So which generation is this topic about then? Tell me, because people are randomly posting games from both last and current gen. Geez, that's what you get for trying to be helpful and clarify things.

This would need to be renamed to clearly indicate which gen it's about first. Only a mod can do that.

Worst year since I started playing videogames in the 90s. http://madblog.shacknet.us/2021-the-year-in-gaming/

Because the topic starts with a PS4 game, and the current gen is clearly the Ps5 / Xbox series X. So which generation are we talking about then? Wouldn't it be prudent to open a topic for actual current gen?

I wonder what do we consider "the generation?" When does it start, and when does it end?

What some call cultural appropriation, is actually honouring and preserving cultures by those who were not born into it. If only those people were allowed to participate in a culture who were those born into it, then every culture would die out eventually.

If it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't.

In Dishonored II the game keeps constantly reminding you that if you kill too many the ending will be dark and cynical. But I didn't think the actual ending I got was bad.

If you do videogames for a living it stops being fun. As soon as monetary incentives get in the mix the whole thing is ruined. NFTs and the metaverse are the worst things ever for gaming. Not lootbox / microtransactoins bad, try million times worse.

Odyssey / Valhalla depicts mythology as real, obviously that can't be historically accurate. So by definition the games aren't good historical representations. I'm not saying that they aren't fun games, but they are 99% fantasy. Even if ancient greeks believed their myths that doesn't make it reality.

Horrible kind. You see, I very rarely have to speak English as I usually communicate in writing. I was contemplating starting a podcast just to get some practice, but I hate listening to my own voice so cutting it would be torture. And arguably I speak incomprehensibly fast even in my own language. Especially when I'm excited or upset.

You said it yourself AC depicts mythology as real. And features characters who are vaguely based on historical figures. They are basically just using their names, to create a fictional spin on them. While Wildlands actually depicts something what I see as pretty damn accurate. When I was playing it first I didn't think much of the geopolitical accuracy of the game, but some documentaries made me realize that it's actually as good as it gets from videogames.

The most historically accurate were probably the cold war era games that I've played. Obviously the individual stories are fictional, but a fictional story can either fit into history, or contradict it. I think COD Black Ops was pretty good in this regard, also Vietcong is a good depiction of the Vietnam war, down to tactics and the details of warfare. Ghost Recon Wildlands while not historic but seems pretty accurate in its depiction of South American cocaleros, the culture, the architecture and the environment. But overall I play much more fantasy and science fiction games that are only loosely based on real settings. For example I consider Assassin's Creed a fantasy game, as a historical period piece it would be terrible.

I've had similar results in outer worlds, I Think they deliberately made it that way to be more ambiguous with no clear good side. I somehow felt however that this made me cynical for the rest of the game with not caring about any other outcomes.

Multiplayer games are fundamentally different, they don't have a start and end point. My observations are based on single player games, but some do apply to multiplayer games as well.

Yeah, I actually worked in Flanders, between Aalst and Oestende I've probably been in almost every town. But I lived in Wemmel while I was there.

Hi, Belgium is one of my favorite countries I worked in. Which region are you from?

Dying Light -> If weapons didn't break in 2 hits NFS: Heat -> If police chases were more realistic The Ascent -> If balance was not out of whack Cyberpunk 2077 -> If they stuck to the original story idea and didn't change it for Keanu Mafia: Definitive Edition -> Had they used the original lines of dialogue exactly as written The Last of Us Part II -> If instead of shock value they would've went for building the characters up first Snowrunner -> if there was an option to retry / rewind the game a few minutes Far Cry 6 -> If the combat was at least as hard as in Ghost Recon.
