Reality vs Adventure

Maybe if a person has a fear of something, they can play that scenario in games and maybe help cope through it by gaining confidence and experience to overcome. Or playing something that relaxes and puts the mind in a better existence has a natural anti anxiety effect. And even playing a game that you can relate personally with the story, can relieve some stagnant emotions.

I can see how GTA is a great game, but not my flavor. If they changed the title to 'Surviving The City' then I'd probably be interested in it. But GTA already puts me in a position where I think, ummm city bandits sounds boring. But 'victims of urban crime trying to get out' appeals to me more. You know how sometimes a series goes by a specific title instead of a number like Skyrim instead of ES V; or Black Flag instead of AC4. GTA 6 should be called something catchy as it's own title and maybe I'll want to play it. But if I even think about playing it, all I think of is GTA and there really isn't anything special. Think about the title Red Dead Redemption by the same developers. That sounds more appealing. Imagine if it was called RTC or Rob the Carriage.

If the game is cartoonish, it can get away with a remaster; everything else older than the ps3 needs a remake. I can think of a ton of games from the ps2 that could use a remake. But in this world we live, stupid prevails. Nature no longer cares about passing the stupid DNA. At this point we are all stupid. So just gives us games to reinforce our stupid.

Well, the republican governor signed the bill to slaughter 90% of Idaho wolf population.

Yep, that too

Two games that come to mind are Horizon Zero Dawn and Mad Max. Both are in a post apocalyptic world where new generations grew up and some (not all) worship the machines left behind by lost generations before. If you grew up in a world with absolutely no answers to how these machines were made, would you eventually develop a spiritual bonding with them? If you think about it, a lot of men get really attached to their cars and even name them. Are there other games you can recall where humans worshipped machine?

Fungus doesn't use photosynthesis! But maybe it provides a symbiotic relationship for bare min. needs.

I have a hard time getting into it. It's one of those, 'am I missing something' games.

I got the game, played for an hour, then deleted it from the console. One day I'll give it another try.

We are in big trouble as a society if we rely on games for empathy. Wait...we ARE in big trouble as a society because people lack empathy.

A finished game isn't entitlement, it's consumer rights. I don't want to buy a loaf of bread with slices missing.

Are they ever gonna make the game not require the internet or multiplayer?

Mad Max My car is my GOD. Take me away from here. Protect me. I will find gas for you. I will kill for you. Maybe I am a saint after all. Let's spread the f***** gospel. This is a holy war.

More than anything, they really need to make it user friendly. Not many people want to stand while gaming. There are games you can sit and play, but I would say the majority of games would require you to stand and move around. That's why there are a very limited number of games in VR. The controls are weird. It's not comfortable on the face. Graphics are lagging. It would be awesome to bluetooth sound through home speakers or built in head phones to go over ears. But then it would feel like your whole head is in a can. I don't need flashbacks of the porcelain nightmares. I would want a VR where I can sit and play any game. Add the option to use actual body movement or everything on a playstation like controller. And then we could Assassin's Creed it and hook it up to someone's DNA and relive the past life of some ancient person and their memories in any time period. Sound far fetched? So was the telephone.

The last title I played was a ps2 game. What is the series like these days? Is there still a million moves to learn and another billion from a cheat magazine???

Yeah I'm probably gonna get. I've got that urge to play it; you know like that feeling when you want a little something special at the grocery store.

I guess it takes me a couple weeks if it's an open world and linear games less than that. Then if I haven't played it for too long, then I have to relearn. So even months I can play a game casually like I do and still learn how to play.

This game is a must and you would probably really enjoy it. Great story and gameplay. It's a lot cheaper these days. A gem not to pass up.

I didn't really like this game because the whole story changed halfway through which pissed me off.

I would read more

I have the whole series collect up until 3. I really want to play it through cause the story is actually good, but it's just one of those 'one day' games. Hmmm; one day I will get there. Can 3 be played without finishing previous games?

Contra was awesome and probably my favorite game back then. But I haven't played anything past the 80's. I wish Contra would do a game something like how Mercenaries was on ps2.

My bounty is like $300 and I only got about $290. I guess after all that work, I gotta start over. I was saving for a horse. Where do you find the Arabians?

It is a beautiful game, but..... I have two problems. One is the bounty hunters won't let me play the game and two, the controls are weird. But if you can scratch those two, then it is a well rounded game.

I agree The Last of Us; and Layers of Fear 1 and 2 kept me on the edge and curious for more.
