Just finished Resident Evil 7 last night, Damn that was the most scariest game I've ever played. (I dont play horror games that much)

I love indie games. They can be really good, almost AAA quality good!

I understand what you mean. Some of the titles I've seen have been so weird but so fun

I’m super pumped for it! Obsidian are a very talented and experienced developer and yes, Fallout New Vegas is incredible and indeed a testament to this. Can’t wait!

@DylanC is the winner. Congrats! I've awarded 500 Points to your account.

This is an insane deal. Unreal! Good find @DylanC

It’s legit. I’ve bought from base here in the UK before and they delivered the game within 48 hours. I had a good service from them, personally.

@DylanC is in the lead with three votes. Good luck to everyone who is listed in the Poll. A couple more hours to go yet, may the best win!

Making sure to backup your teammates, listen to your teammates, revive them and actually try and achieve the objectives of the game. 

Metro Exodus thanks to the kind folks at VGR👍

Minecraft is very immersive. I would love to play the story mode, thank you friend! :)

This is such a great news! I didn't see it coming, haha! Really, that was a very nice surprise. When it's available, I'm definitely going to play it as soon as possible (and... I think I'm gonna be addicted to it again, haha)!

Great news!
I don't even have to think twice to say how this game is so amazing and one of my favorites in the whole world! This was one of the responsible for make me an addicted to the world of vídeo games, haha! Since I met this game, I'm not the same guy anymore, haha!

Though I've not had an opportunity to play Anthem yet, I do agree with you. Both games are indeed online-centric games from acclaimed single player-focused teams. It's interesting because I think that making an online game is VERY different to making a single player game and I think that both Fallout 76 and Anthem will unfortunately suffer polish-wise as a result. The good thing is that games like these can be updated over time. I seriously love Fallout 76. It's flawed but easily one of the highlights of last year for me from an adventure/RPG standpoint. I know I'm in the minority with that feeling, but I'm a sucker for Bethesda's RPGs. I think some gamers have been waiting like a monkey on their back to do something wrong and an online Fallout game was the time to strike. On the other hand, Bethesda haven't done much in placating them as they've made a shit ton of mistakes, too.

Fallout 76 I gave a fairly positive review but I just haven't really felt like playing it much lately even if I've enjoyed it despite how much of a mess it is.
Anthem on the other hand I freaking love and my opinion of it is pretty much diametrically opposed to the majority's. I'm seriously addicted to it and have loved every second I've played of it. Is it without its flaws though? Hell no and I do plan to point those out in my eventual review of it. But it's definitely on my top 10 games of 2019 list so far.

Today I had the opportunity to play Fallout 76 and Anthem and I have to say they are not bad games but they do fail on their main objective. The gameplay on their own have a lot of issues and they both feel like unpolished games that still need a lot of patches, I'm not going to mention all their issues because it has been discussed many times.The problem is the expectation for the games from both the fans and the developers. If you are a fan of Bethesda games and Bioware you will know that they have a history of incredible single player franchises, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Mass Effect and Dragon Age series respectively, so we where all expecting that same single player experience from these games but that was our mistake, It is very hard to translate a single player experience with excellent narrative to a multiplayer, this was also the mistake of the developers for thinking they could do it and and also advertise the games as such. Both games where destined to fail because they could not recreate that single player experience that we are accustomed at from Bethesda and Bioware on a Multiplayer platform. 

Do you agree or do you have a different opinion as to why these games failed ?

I'm yet to nominate a user for the vote of. I'm nominating DylanC for his high quality, meaning full forum posts. Good luck to everyone who has been nominated for February. May the best user win! 

I think philosophy wise Bioshock and Silent Hill make the cut. You may find there is conspiracy in both of thosse games.  I have also found out same thing in half life. I mean there are tangent stories on most of the games. Even the darksiders 3 has the tangent storyline and we get to learn that hosemen were just pawns of the power in the higher hierarchy. So it kind of deep in most stories. 

Fair dos, I’m liking all this post release support for the game. It needed it, sure, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

My technique is one that has worked on almost any game with dungeons. Getting lost for about an hour, check map, get lost again, spent another hour with a Puzzle, Solve the puzzle which turned out to be something simple and dumb, get lost one more time and finally reach the objective.

Fair enough. I'm glad not all mobile games are ruined by microtransactions.

I disagree. There are some amazing mobile games. Reigns is a really inventive card-based kingdom sim published by Devolver Digital (a very talented indie publisher). FTL is on mobile devices and is one of my fave games ever. Year Walk is a brilliant horror game based on Swedish folklore. Darkest Dungeon, Legend Of Grimrock, Papers Please and Monument Valley are all excellent. There are so many interesting, clever mobile games. It’s very much like the indie space - incredibly inventive and creative. Admittedly, there is a lot of shovelware. But I do think there are some great experiences on mobile and gamers tend to paint mobile gaming with the same brush as if all mobile games stink. I think we as gamers should try and move past this misnomer.
