  1. Honestly, I think it's more likely that Zoey is a laptop in Nigeria. I had to delete a very suspicious link from that very post.
  2. People would still shoot each other, but the politicians would have one less thing they could use as a scapegoat.
  3. Another one of those I've played, but have not got around to finishing. What I played of it was very impressive, more of a horror game than an action one which I think is much more appropriate with the Alien licence

    hi

    Welcome to VGR. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I know you'll come to enjoy this pit of the mad and the dammed.
  5. Great stories is an easy way to bring me back to a game. I've played through games like Final Fantasy X, Horizon Zero Dawn and TLOU more time than I needed to becasue I love the stories.
  6. Just played through a mod called The Inheritance on Fallout NV. It's a fully voice acted new quest line, and it was brilliant. Anyone who has NV on PC should check it out. Find it here on Nexus Mods.
  7. Devil May Cry 2 was complete and utter pish and a truly abhorrent mockery of the first game, that simple is one of the very best video games ever made. Other than that mishap, it's a strong series, although Ninja Theory's DMC had an image problem and made Dante look like a complete douche.
  8. To be honest, I'd never actually heard of Axiom Verge, but it looks like a sweet game and a must play for Metroidvania fans. According to my research, it was developed by just one man, Thomas Happ. Took him five years of his spare time to finish it. If it's the same situation with Axiom Verge 2, it's just gonna take as long as it takes I'm afraid. Still, thanks for mentioning this game, I might have to try it myself at some point.
  9. I apricate that more than you know. Thank you. However, I'm not in a position to pin threads just because I like them, especially when it comes to threads I started. If @DC wants to pin it, that is his choice, and he'll do so for the right reasons. In the meantime, please address the topic at hand.
  10. There's no reason to go that far into my choice of case, I just picked the first well known court case that came to mind to set up the joke. A joke got. So, to take the topic seriously, I can't actually get invested in a contest of "which ass hole wins", so i make jokes instead. I do what I do. please send letters of complaint to shagger@EXTREMELY_HOTmail.fuckcares.
  11. All I care to say is that there will be more lawyers in this case from both sides then there was people in total in court over the O.J Simpson murder trial, and that's the level of petty this is.
  12. Selling accounts is something different. That's not selling games, that's selling accounts and it is not something I'd recommend anyone do. As a Seller. It bars you from using the same details for any future accounts on that platform. You will need to give the buyer access to your e-mail, so that email account is also gone, so rather inconvenient if you use that e-mail for anything besides that game store account. it can also be dangerous as the person buying the account can use it for, let's say, "other purposes" than playing the games in your library. They could use the account to front money laundering or sell, let's say, "controversial" digital goods, all of which could get traced back to YOU in the end. They could possibly access you phone number, social media accounts and even bank details held on that account if you're not careful. As a Buyer You can't be sure how those games on that account were obtained. They could have been bought with stolen credit card information (fraud), the login info could be wrong or they could change it after you bought it, especially if they have things like 2-step verification enabled or even just use fake screenshots to con people into thinking they're buying an account that doesn't actually exist. Selling accounts is not illegal as far as I know, an even if it were it would be impossible to enforce, but it's not safe and It's certainly not a comparable substitute for selling used games on PC. I would beg anyone considering it not to do it.
  13. As bad as this is, and it is bad, it's the lesser of two evils. Game companies selling in-game items on cross play titles was why Sony were so reluctant to allow cross play in the first place as the complaint behind the game wold have to use their own system and not PSN to make that work (thus, working around Son's cut). So for Sony to say, "OK, you can have cross play, but we want a cut of those in-game item sales." is not suppressing. Don't get me wrong, it's still atrocious when other companies appear to work fine with game companies when they host cross play, but Sony had to be all Sony about it.
  14. You can only sell keys if they haven't been used, so it's not the same as selling and buying used games they way you can with physical media. in answer to @StaceyPowers question, it dose a bit, but any system that would allow the sale of used game keys would just be too easy to exploit and no game publisher/developer would want to sell their games on it. Sadly, that limitation when it comes to digital games is something that must continue to exist. @Patrik You can't sell used games on digital platforms. You just can't.
  15. Same here. I usually end up selling them. I almost never use any kind of one shot item or temporary combat ability in any game because they're bad things to rely on. If you can't, for example, defeat a certain enemy without having a load of such items/abilities on hand it's probably not wise to take that enemy on at all. Not to mention the first time you encounter said situation the odds are you won't have all those things you need on hand anyway.
  16. Night mode is something designed specifically to put less strain on the eyes and be more relaxing to look at, so by it's very nature it's in conflict with what one usually needs a display to do while gaming. Gaming screens need to be sharp and bright to draw focus and keep you alert. My better half uses night mode to read in bed and that makes sense, but to game, not so much.
  17. Older consoles of this make are bound to have these issues. Other than a deep cleaning of the fans and heat sinks there isn't much else that can be done. My PS3 was literally screeming in pain for weeks before finally dying while I was playing Beyond Two Souls a few years back.
  18. The various reviews and articles that came up with regard to Cyberpunk 2077 were consistent and numerous enough in their criticisms to put me off. If I hadn't been paying attention, I might have bought it. True I was, as some of you might remember, very suspicious about the game as the development dragged on, but all that really meant was I wasn't suppressed when the game came out busted. I still could have just as easily fell for the trap that CDPR were "all for the gamers" saints and bought the game on that good faith. If I had, that would have been the biggest dose of buyers remorse I'd have had since the likes of Destiny and No Man's Sky.
  19. Things have changed in the last two years on here. There are new rules regarding SSP. It won't be held against you given that you did start posting so long ago. If you have updates to tell us about, that's fine, but you've already made enough threads and posts discussing the game, there's no need for any more. So for those reasons, I'm locking this thread, but please feel free to update us and answer questions on the threads that we already have.
  20. I knew it, this was all just a precursor to try and add bad links. Locking the thread and flagging the user.
  21. With all due respect, why did you sign up to a gaming forum to ask a for help about a Roku TV remote? I don't get it, it just makes no sense to me. I found Roku's own support and troubleshooting website for you, that's the best any of us can do.
  22. Regular members can only edit posts within 10 minutes of originally posting them, but I can change if for you if you want.
  23. Fallout New Vafas comes to mind for me. With all the various factions with good and bad elements to them all, it was cool to learn about then and pick your own alliances. It was a simple spelling of of "good guys and bad guys", you intemperated it yourself and accosiated with them however you wanted.
  24. OK @m76 and @The Blackangel, this spat has derailed this topic quite enough. @m76 Your first post questioning whether @The Blackangel had played other modern games was worded with tone and didn't serve the topic at hand, and you know perfectly well it didn't because you then made another completely separate post to actually address the topic. In fact, your fist post served no purpose other than to antagonise @The Blackangel. Between having a thought and typing out a post, there's a realm of good taste and common sense begging to make your acquaintance. If what you wanted to know was more about her history with more modern games, something along the lines of this would have been enough; "I've seen you referenhce RDR2 a lot on threads and it's left me curious. What other modern games have you played?" If you had done that, I'm sure @The Blackangel would have provided a perfectly curious and satisfactory response. In the response to her reply (and we'll get to that, @The Blackangel) you only antagonise her even more. From whare I stand, it looks like you were trying to get a rise out of her, and that's not fair. Whilst I'm sure that wasn't the intention, what you should have done was think a little harder about what you were going to say, and that's what I expect you to do from now on. Consider yourself warned. @The Blackangel I meant what I said about him just there, I see this as his doing, but in future it might be an idea to follow your own advice and Ignore him. Your brazen, confrontational responses did not help matters, so try and be mindfull of that. It may.it have been his intention to upset you, like I said he probably just bypassed his centre of good taste and common sence, but even if he was trying to antagonise you on purpose the worst thing you can do if give his the response he wanted. If it gets to a point we're someone, beit him or anyone else, is crossing a line, report it. Same goes to you @m76 as well as everyone else. I want you two to stop, but if you two insist on continuing this ruckus, do it through PM's. In the meantime, I'll remove the offending posts so this thread can hopefully get back on track.
