Are there any quests or tasks that show up pretty early in a game that you put off for an insane amount of time?
Like, I am somewhat embarrassed to admit, but I still haven’t done Weapons Expert 2 in RDR 2, lol, despite playing the game for ages now. I don’t even know if it’s actually hard. I haven’t even tried it. It just looks like a pain, and every time I think about doing it, I just go do some other challenge.

What are everyone's gaming plans for 2025? Any specific games you hope to get around to this year? Or games you plan to finish?
-
How long has it been since your last playthrough of your favorite game? For me, it’s been a few years. Way too long.
-
Are there any specific video game adaptations you visualize that you would love to see?
I don’t just mean games you want to see adapted, but details about who would be doing it or how.
As an example, I would love an adaptation of BioShock Infinite made by the same studio that did Arcane.

What is the most ridiculous, tedious thing you’ve ever done because of completionism?
-
If you play games with lootboxes or similar mechanics, do you buy them? Whether or not you do, how tempting do you find them? What do you do to manage your spending?
-
What are some very impressive games that on the whole, most gamers have missed out on?
-
Has anybody else become frustrated with game reviews and comments lately? I find myself actively avoiding them, because so many seem to me to be motivated by politics now. I don’t feel discussions about games need to be politics-free, but I suspect a lot of reviews and comments nowadays are written by bots, or are similarly artificial in some way. That gets fatiguing to wade through.
-
Are there any elements or mechanics that were present in earlier games in series that were later removed, that you wish would come back in future installments?
-
Is there a game that you love in a genre you usually don’t? I.e. you maybe don’t usually like 2D platformers, but there is one special one that you do? Or maybe you don’t usually like shooters, but there is one exception?
-
Are there any games you have started over multiple times, but still can’t seem to get into?
That is No Man’s Sky for me. And I still wish I could get into it. But the learning curve feels so steep.
-
If you keep seeing a game you want on sale at a modest discount, but never more than that, what do you usually do? Is there a point where you give up and buy it? Or do you keep holding out for it to come down further?
-
Cleo is good! It took me some thought to understand the concept of buying gift cards to get discounts, but it works. It's super easy to use, and it's saved me a fair bit of money on some large purchases.

I once betrayed allies for personal gain in an RPG. It felt thrilling in the moment, but left me guilty afterward.
Do you mean in a multiplayer RPG?

Absolutely! Another great example is "The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone," which offers a substantial narrative experience compared to the base game.
I’m on my first playthrough of The Witcher 3. I always hear that the DLC is amazing.

I love Skyrim too, but those unexpected dragon attacks can be frustrating! I also find the inventory management quite tedious sometimes.
Inventory management in general kind of drives me crazy in every game. And I agree, the dragon attacks do come at the most annoying moments.
I also can’t stand when the dragons fly way far away in mid-fight, and you have to wait for them to come back.
-
This thread made me realize that arena shooters are all I’ve actually really played. So, I guess I don’t have a preference, because I don’t have enough information to have one.

It's not really horror - more like action-adventure stealth but it did have a very sad ending though.
“Sad” doesn’t capture my feelings about it. More like … crushed, horrified, broken inside, lol.
-
For me, third person games are the ones that make me feel like I can’t see. I can see around my character, but I can’t walk up to things and see their small details. First person is how I experience RL, so it feels more immersive and real to me in a game too. It also doesn’t make me dizzy.
-
The Witcher 3 is great with this. Also, Dragon Age II is pretty much the game of side quests.
-
Does A Plague Tale: Requiem count? Absolutely crushing.
-
What classic Windows games do you miss? I miss the old pinball game.
-
How do you feel about games that limit the number of heal potions/spells/items you are allowed to stockpile or cast?
-
What are some multiplayer games you used to enjoy that still exist, but largely are sitting around empty?

Like, I played golf games a lot as a child. But I didn’t care about the golf; I just liked exploring the courses. So, once open world games became a thing, I lost interest in the golf games.
