Reality vs Adventure

The Walking Dead Complete Series. It helped me see how humanity can devolve at the flip of a dime. The ones you trust can change. And I pay attention to a person's character that may be a threat in an apocalypse or a very poor decision maker that can endanger lives of others. And I know people like that. Scary. I don't have a bug out bag yet, but may need one soon in the good ol USA.

I'll give RDR2 another try. Need to ride around and explore some more. But right now, I'm all in with Assassins Creed. RDR2 takes up 90 gb. So when I start it again I'll have to finish up some other games. I have Resident Evil 7 unopened I plan on playing around Halloween! It better be gory.

Yes, nothing like turning a corner and seeing half a body hanging from the ceiling by chains with intestines hanging out dripping blood you can slip on. Give me all or nothing.

I don't know why, but I can't seem to get into Red Dead Redemption or Grand Theft Auto. I had the ps2 and played GTA3 a few times and stopped. Got the ps3 and played GTA 4 a few times and stopped. I played Red Dead Redemption, got to the nearest 1st town and stopped. I played RDR Undead Nightmare more than the original. Got the ps4 and played GTA5. I got to where at the beginning they learn to tow a vehicle in a quest. Then I stopped. Played RDR 2 and got to where you make your first camp and hunt the bear. Then I stopped. Something just doesn't draw me in. Wouldn't say I hate it though. I think I hate the fact that they are so popular. Maybe my expectations are too high.

For me I guess it's sensory appeal. In horror, the more the better. Having body parts laying around or torture rooms, mass murder, or scenes of science experiment gone wrong, etc makes it all real and scary. Shoot em up games usually don't have that appeal for me. But if you shoot someone with a shotgun and limbs fly off, blood stains the wall, and the body stays there without disappearing, then that reality appeals to me. Maybe that's why I like games using medieval/ancient weapons more than the age of guns because if you wack at someone with a hatchet, you know it hurts more than an instant bullet. Just about all games are violent. Even cartoonish games like sonic or jak and dexter and even Okami. Only game I can think of without violence is flowers or journey. Violence is embedded in all entertainment unless it's a song of Jesus and bunnies. And if it's not sensory appeal such as being able to see details of one's innards ripped out, then it's large battle simulations. I used to love that in Age of Empires.

You can't attack the press, people of color, and rights as depicted in the game and the rhetoric or conspiracies from this administration and not be a Nazi. The game came out 2017. Almost word for word the fake leaders in 2020 say the same things, not vice versa! Stop defending it. We all know and see what fascism is. The days of denying it are over.

Good question. Thinking about it there are a couple things that turn me off. Characters that look like potato faces or poor detail and little graphics throws me off from getting into the game. Scenes of running around pointlessly shooting and not much scenery turns me away big time. Difficulty turns me away. Ive heard Bloodborne was hard; played it; yes its hard and I stopped. One last thing is watching a clip of a character just walking around looking for stuff. I like to play, not puzzle around, or shoot aimlessly. What draws me in? Graphics, hot female character; I'm extremely tired of playing a male. It's always the same. Every male is always the biggest, baddest, toughest guy on the planet. It's old. Nothing like a strong beautiful female to play where you can switch with cool outfits. Don't need man chest, when you can have lady chest. Metal Gear Solid latest one is an exception. He's got stuff stuck in his head and scarred up.

I remember a few years ago before I ever got any playstation, a friend was playing AC on a ps3. I thought it was boring. A year ago I got a ps4 and bought a bunch of games, got 40 games now. I gave Odyssey a try and woah. Best game I ever played. Then I got Origins and now I play alternatively and will play for years to come! And now Valhalla is coming out. I'm happy and a big fan of their accomplishments. Out of every game I played, these are exactly what I have been looking for. All the other games I have, I just stopped playing most of them. I have all the best rated games like RDR2, GTA5, Metal Gear Solid, Witcher 3, Persona 5, God of War, etc. and none I enjoy as much as Odyssey and Origins and it has a lot lower ratings for some reason. Whatever floats your boat usually won't float mine.

Ps4 Wolfenstein 2 the New Colossus because all the propaganda you collect from the Nazis in newspapers, letters, post cards, signs, etc. all say the same thing republicans and trump say today. It is very eerie the similarities. I've taken pics of many of them and shared it to people and look at it side by side what republicans say today in 2020. It's the same!!!

Both Assassins Creed Odyssey and Origins. They are a masterpiece and exactly what I personally love in games. Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn is my top of list too. Best zombie/apocalypse game I played on ps4 is Dying Light. Beat the game and loved it!

Gears of War because I never had xbox. Skyrim, but does it compare to Witcher 3? Warhammer

I grew up playing nintendo and sega. After all these years I decided to check out ps2. Played for a while, then decided to get ps3 and never went back to ps2. Saw some cool games on ps4 so I got that and just can't go back to ps3 now. For me, there is too much to get for computer gaming. Big screen monitor, gigabytes, this and that, that and this. Ps4 I'm content. Till I try ps5 and on and on and on.

I'm at 200 hours on Assassins Creed Odyssey. I have almost 40 games on ps4, played them, but what stuck for me is Odyssey and Witcher 3. I have never been into a game as much as these two. Just got AC Origins and never gonna stop those three games. What keeps me playing the most is beautiful exploration. It's an adventure better than tv or books because I am controlling what to do and where to go. In AC I enjoy the villages and all that is going on as if I were there. The graphics are amazing and sometimes I can just picture myself there in an ancient village, fishing village, or on a mountain or forest or ocean. And I have at least 100 hours in Horizon Zero Dawn. Once again, the exploration and beauty keep me in it. For me those will stick for a long time. Interestingly, Witcher 3 I didn't like at first cause there was too much potions to learn, things to craft, gear wearing down, weight problems of gear I have to stop and lose things in inventory to fix weight issues. I stopped the game for 6 months till I picked it back up and gave it another try. The quests started to get really good and along with exploration got me hooked. Fallout 4 I stopped playing cause of weight issues. Monster Hunter World I am at a loss in that game. Not sure what to do, too much weapons to learn and inventory stuff, I stopped playing and probably won't go back for a long while. I get bored with shooting and not so interesting atmosphere. I need adventure and beautiful places to see. And getting awesome outfits/gear for the character in 3rd person games I love too.
