Hell is Us sounds intriguing! I'm always up for a good action-adventure with supernatural elements, especially if it's got some Souls-like difficulty.

Ghost of Yotei sounds awesome! I'm really excited about the shift in timeline and the idea of playing as Atsu. It’s always refreshing to explore new perspectives in a series, especially through characters that bring different dynamics to the story. Can't wait for 2025!

ArcheAge Chronicles definitely looks interesting! I didn’t play the original either, but I’ve heard mixed things about its P2W (pay-to-win) mechanics. Hopefully, Chronicles avoids that. The trailer looks polished though, so I'm cautiously optimistic. I’ll keep an eye on it, but I’ll probably wait for more reviews before making it a day one buy.

I used to dabble with some of the earlier games, but it sounds like Origins could be a great place to get back into the series.

Fear the Spotlight sounds intriguing! I love the idea of bringing back the retro graphical style of '90s horror games - there's something unsettling about those low-poly aesthetics that newer graphics can’t quite capture. With Blumhouse involved, it makes sense they'd dive into horror games, too.

It's a completely different experience that has no correlation to the first two games. Completely new characters and settings and overall gaming experience.

I really like your setup. It's very organized and the aesthetic has contrasting yet complimentary colors.

I'd say sometime in the late 90s to mid 2000s, developers stopped being so rigid with their game design so that it opened new possibilities for progressing in games so that it isn't so linear.

I agree. I have a Switch and a Steam Deck so I can always game on the go as well.

It's still very much alive and well even though it's been slowly fading away as you said.

But sometimes it's just a transitional phase with barely any dialogue until the NPC reaches their destination and this NPC is moving very slowly to get to said destination.

My issue with online games especially nowadays is that most of them are very generic and the worlds tend to be very empty.

AOE 2 and Command and Conquer: Generals are my two favorite RTS game that are both fun to play and are really engaging.

I have to prioritize what's important. I love gaming but self employment requires discipline in order for it to be sustainable.

The Broken Sword series is a great example of this and I absolutely love it.

I agree wholeheartedly. It's best to prioritize your work while on the job because it's what pays the bills.

Minecraft is amazing for creativity, but I’ve always been intrigued by the building systems in games like Terraria or No Man's Sky. They offer a different take on construction with unique mechanics.

Yep. That one.

How long do you normally game for?

Great shout. Gorod Krovi is my favorite Zombie map because how of it includes monsters like Dragons in it.
