  1. Yeah I guess you're right fans overhype beyond the advertisement intentions. We all overhype though. I mean depending on if you are optimistic or pessimistic.
  2. Overhype is all part of advertisement. They get paid to overhype. It's the whole point to sell. Overhype is redundant. Overrated is something different. That's people's opinions which is always influenced, especially by overhype.
  3. I actually like a bit of brightness so I can see things. I actually don't like the weather changing too fast in games from day to dark and it gives me anxiety as if I have to accomplish things before dark falls. But when dark is still bright enough I enjoy the ambience.
  4. I read your review on Plague Tale and it made me want to talk about my recent gaming experiences, even maybe make a review myself.
  5. I tried to personal message you but said unavailable. I wanted to apologize to you personally for being a jerk
  6. It's looking good. I was concerned about the characters being the Game of Thrones cast, but the actors look really intense and just dissolves any concerns I had. Very good trailer.
  7. All my games on my console are open worlds now. I get frustrated not getting to a plot. But I love it too
  8. Film is meant to watch, games are meant to play. How many movies have a 1st person view? None besides Blair witch. Do you want every movie to be 1st person?
  9. Watch Dogs 1 Series is hardcore
  10. At this point, it all depends on the game. In Saints Row it's just plain fun and hilarious to kill people. In Watch Dogs Legion I'm more cautious because anyone can be your recruit. GTA games I have mixed feelings. In Assassin's Creed around temples, I try to avoid fighting the enemy because the innocent will get cut down too. To see them so vulnerable on their knees worshipping a deity, then engage in open combat next to them I just try to avoid.
  11. I honestly couldn't find anything in a couple of news articles that gave any real insight to why he was resigning. Does that mean I can't post something with a question? Does that mean that for every post, there should be an explanation instead of just a video? Or should every post be more than one sentence? Based on this standard, my post in Stoicism vs cynicism recently should be removed or criticized. This topic has largely fell under the radar for some reason in the news. So when I came across it I decided to post a question. So when I do actually put a lot of thought into something, nobody really responds. There are far too many topics that are posted with just a question even currently, w/o their own input or opinions. This standard should go for all across the board and not just me. I've actually posted a topic a year ago about all new posts should include their own opinions and not just a question and I remember being told that people can post what they want. So maybe all new posts should have a rule that they have to express their personal opinion and not just a question.
  12. My Sunday is going to be 104 degrees outside. June and July have been horrible so far. The humidity will be in the 30’s which isn’t that bad. But that will be the hottest day so far. Today when I opened my door it just felt like a heat wave just sunk in. There is some strange pressure affect with all that heat compared to inside. And when it cools at night it feels like the heat gets pushed into my home like a vacuum and It just feels super hot inside so I have to keep dunking my head in water and let the fan blast me.
  13. I can kind of see the message there to not be afraid and stand together, or ask politely and you shall receive (when they made the witch ask politely for her broom), but that witch sure is creepy. I do think it's a bit disturbing for a happy kid to watch. Not sure if it's enough to pull it and never show it again though. And for her to lose the broom again, kind of leaves a stench in Sesame St. If you've never seen Wizard of Oz before and watch that as a kid, it would be even worse probably.
  14. Actually, I don't remember ever doing that. I lived in a really dry climate surrounded by desert in Vegas. When it finally did rain, it flooded waste high and we would swim in it with dirt and all.
  15. That is something constantly on my mind I struggle with. Almost like a type of game anxiety. I remember there being another thread about gaming anxiety and I don't think I really understood it till now. I'll try to explain. Sometimes I neglect a game for too long and I lose story immersion so I start a new game and play focusing on story and progression till I get up to my current game save spot, then I open that save and continue from there as if I never started all over. Doing that, I realize that I have less anxiety and get through it and enjoy it because I know what happens. My first playthroughs I always try so hard to get everything perfect, even my surroundings at home so I don't bust concentration in a cutscene. And that gives me anxiety when I know the story cut scene is about to kick in. So yeah, I find it enjoyable playing through a game I already have played. When I played TLOU2, I played it a second time right away back to back. The first time I was so preoccupied at times with scenery. The second play was story focused and fast paced and very enjoyable because I already knew what was going to happen. I didn't have to slap myself to focus. lol
