I have to assume the formal testimonials are written on toilet paper, right?

The problem is, wether you were aware of it or not, you opened a gate here. Someone needs help with a video game, you give advice and it all ends with that someone getting their head stuck down a toilet. I don't care if the story is real or not, there's a middle part to that story that needs told!

What the bloody hell was the question!?

You mean all those time I tried to set you up for failure didn't work? God, I'm useless...

I've never been more proud to be a Scotsman...

If it's the room I'm thinking off, then it is indeed hellish. It is possible to stealth kill everything is you take your time. I tend to try an focus on the runners, take them out to open a path to clicker to shiv it, then then that's the worst of it over. It is possible and helpful to backtrack and head the opposite direction from your start point to access the far side of the area and pick up a few stealth kills that way as well.

If the only point on playing FPS games was to be more accurate at the cost of the control system being more detached from reality, we would be using touch screens to simply "touch" the target to hit it every time. The argument that people should only play FPS games on PC because you can more competitive using a mouse and keyboard gets more ridiculous every time I hear it. Dose it ever occur to the PC Master "of-nothing-except-thier-own-choice-of-corn-snacks" Race that it actually takes more skill and practice to control these kinds of games accuracy using a controller? Interesting how doing it the easy, lazy way breads such arrogance. On topic, exclusive games from console brands aside because that's a whole other debate, no type of game should ony exist on one platform. I hate playing 3rd person action games with a M/K, and I also hate playing RTS games with a controller, but doesn't mean people should be allowed to play certain types of games on one platform and not another. End of.

Repairing heavy armour will take more hammer strikes than light armour, so one would use more hammers, but aside from mods and console commands (in other words, cheating), the only way to do it is to fucking do it. Sorry.

In an article form Video Games Chronicle, we have Naughty Dog's co-president Evan Wells confirming that a new Jack and Dexter game is not currently in development. During a chat with Insomniac Game's Ted Price, Evan was asked if they get requests for a new J&D game, and of course, he answered that they do all the time, but confirmed thay are not currently working on one. He said Naughty Dog is more focused on new games rather than "endless sequels". That's amusing given the utterly pointless PS5 remake of the The Last of Us being discussed here. Honestly, a new J&D would be a better use of the time and resources Naughty Dog has that is now almost certainly being spent on TLOU remake. I hope for thier sake they're telling the truth when this is about working on new games rather than TLOU remake, because if they're not, people will have every right to be pissed, especially the J&D fan base.

My bad, thanks for the correction.

This thing is ridiculous because; QHD (4K) on a laptop is pointless. Even at 17in the screen is to small to benefit much from such a high resolution. The only purpose is to add to the price and temp fools who don't understand tech all that well. If if there was a good reason to have a 4K gaming laptop... ... the 3060 is not the GPU for the job. You just cannot expect that card to run demanding games at 4K without compromise. I've seen laptops with a GTX 3070 GPU for less money. You pay that price to satisfy the arrogance of the Razer name, and that name doesn't even deserve to think that much of itself.

I actually heard about this a couple of days ago. I would have stated a thread myself, but wanted to wait for more validity to the rumour. Now, you won't find very many people who love this franchise more than me, but even I can't get behind this at all. This is a complete waste of time, effort and cash, however little of those things it would actually take to pull this off. I don't think a sequel to Days Gone would have made me any happier as I didn't actually enjoy that game very much, but it would be easier to justify. I see this as an attempt to strike the hot pan close to the release of the upcoming TV show and that's about it. I hope they don't do it, but Sony are making more than thier fair share of bad decisions as of late, so we shouldn't be surprised. @The Blackangel The PS4 version of the game is a remaster already, just another reason why this rumoured PS5 version should not exist.

I'm not paying double the price to have some ass hole's name on display above my right nipple. That is all.

This vague, badly written description leaves me unsure of exactly what this is, but it sounds shady as hell, so I'm locking this thread until @DanielStone offers more information to me through a pm.

You're right, this doesn't feel like the correct section. I was about to move it, but then realised there wasn't really a place to move it to. I'll have a word with @DC about creating a general tech' issues and and troubleshooting section on the forums.

This won't be a popular opinion and I already regret it as it is a great chance to stick it to a company I hate, but I gotta be honest, the whole thing about them not including a charger with the iPhone didn't actually bother me. 99% of people who fit the combined requirements of both wealth and stupidity to actually buy and iPhone will have at least one USB charger at home already. So including a charger in the box means significantly larger boxes to ship. That means more manufacturing materials and processes used for the contents of the box and more trucks and shipping containers to ship less goods that had a higher cost financially, but more importantly, a higher cost to the environment. And all that for, in the case of 99% of customers, no good reason. So I'm actually fine with the idea of shipping such devices without the charging block just so long as the cable is still included, and if I remember correctly the iPhone still comes with a cable, just not the charge block. I will say this, though. I don't believe that the environment was the prime motive for Apple here because of the ridiculous price hike thier chargers suddenly had after this policy came in. Yes, there was a fine motive buried in there somewhere, but that wasn't their motive. The motive was to rip people off, so I offer Apple no sympathies at all.

Welcome to VGR. Getting to the point, the answer is no. There has been dozens of people trying to spam this these "surveys for collage" and I never buy that story because it was obvious they were really mining information for commercial reasons. Even if you are being honest, this is gaming forum, not a free billboard. We have no interest in people joining then immediately posting self serving spam and being here only for that reason. If you were willing to contribute meaningfully to the VGR community, then it would be different story, but that is obviously not the case. I don't mean to sound harsh, I really appreciate you having the courtesy to ask first, most people just post with no regard, so I genuinely thank you that, but the answer is still no. A full list of our forum's rules and guidelines is available here, in the meantime, locking this thread.

There has been attempts at similar things before, but none them really caught on. The tended to be underperforming, impractical, expensive or a combination of those things. This new system looks like something different... What you're looking at is, believe it or not, a Windows gaming PC. 16gb of hyper fast ram, a beastly Ryzen 5 4500U APU, an integrated XB1 style controller and a choice 512GB or 1TB SSD storage. All built into a device no bigger than a Nintendo Switch. Full specs: The big difference between AYA NEO and the Switch is the AYA NEO can run games the Switch can't. It'll take lowering the settings for some modern games of course, but games like COD Cold War, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Metro Exodus will run on this thing, and that's impressive. It does borrow one clever ides from the Switch by enabling TV out via USB-C. It even has a dock available. My favourite thing though is the price. At the the equivalent of £692 for the 1TB model with the dock and few other goodies it's honestly not much more expensive than the equivalent hand built desktop. A couple of of concerns. It doesn't look as ergonomic as the Switch and, as with any 1st generation device, durability and build quality have to be a concern. Another disappointing thing is that the triggers are not analogue, and could be an issue for certain types of games, especially racing games. The battery doesn't look it it will last all that long unplugged either. I am honestly impressed with this. I'm even considering getting one. The Indiegogo has only a couple of days left, so I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

The simple answer is yes. There's a lot of Esports teams that compete on racing sim' games covering all sorts of motorsports, include teams representing actual racing teams like Mclaren, Red Bull and Williams. As for getting involved, that's not a question I can answer and, to be honest, you're asking the wrong place. The best any of us can realistically do is Google it the same questions you should be asking.

Yes, video games and the stories they tell are a form of entertainment, but creative writing is also a form of art. Like all art, it's defining purpose is itself, and that's the only purpose art should ever have. Creative writers always leave something of themselves in what write because they have to, they write what they know. A case can be made ALL creative fiction is self serving for those who create it because of that. So the question is when does a creative writer go too far when is comes to signature? For me, the line gets drawn when a creative writer stops serving the plot at the cost of the story to add unnecessary quirks and style to distract the audience. Breaking immersion to see that the audience not only knows that this is fiction, but more importantly, that it's their fiction. Doesn't matter if it's nonsensical, boring, doesn't develop anything or add meaningfully to the story, all that matters is that the audience is taken out of the story to be reminded who created it. Given how emotional both fans and haters have gotten when it comes to The Last of Us Part 1 and especially Part 2 over the games, it's clear to me that Neil Druckmann is not that kind of writer. I can't even identify any specific thing that feels that indigenous to his work. He's not shy about being left leaning in his personal politics and it dose show is his writing from time to time, but not to the extent that I would have noticed that if I didn't already know that about him. Then there's the "abuser of character" angle you mentioned. I don't know whare you heard that and my own efforts to find that quote have not been successful, so if you can, please link the quote for me. In the meantime, I'll proceed under the assumption that he did say that. The Last of Us has always had a strong theme of suffering, struggle and survival, so it makes sense for the characters to go through some shit. Still, that doesn't immediately sound like one of Neil Druckmann's tropes. Hero's have to suffer to come through the other end, so if anything it is a trope of action. Remember, Druckmann also wrote Uncharted, and I suppose he does put Nathan Drake through hell in that game series, but not any more than most traditional hero's go through in their adventures. It certainly not worse than, for example, what the often compared India Jones or Lara Croft have gone through, so don't see that as a Niel Druckmann trope, it's just how action is written. The Last of Us definitely has a darker, less positive them, but it's still an action game it's core. While you see as a man trying inflate his ego through his work, I see someone who stuck to his guns and told the story he wanted to tell. Maybe we will just have to agree to disagree as it's not up to me to decide how you define this. I respect your point of view. I just like to believe that people have come to the conclusions they have for the right reasons, that's all. Good point, and that could be considered another example of writers being self serving, but in a way that's even worse. Stifling themselves and their work to make it more commercially palatable. Writing a divisive story if anything limits the products commercial potential, so Druckman certainly isn't guilty of that form of "self serving" either.

So he wrote a story that's morally grey and open to interpretation knowing it would divide opinion to feed his ego? Wow, did I get that wrong! All this time I thought he was writing a tragic story for adults with a complex, challenging take on morals and emotional trauma and not children that needing to be taught the very basics of right and wrong and where everything is happy clappy. Man, was I silly.

Don't get me wrong, I get the idea of a writer and/or director taking more value with the audience knowing it's their story over simply serving the story itself. I'd call out M Night Shamalan to a prime example of that, but in what is Neil Druckman in that category? I personally find his writing more subtle and in service to the plot.

It's a pre-teen gambling game masquerading as an FPS. In other words, it exactly the same, albeit a worse execution, of the main game. In other words, fuck the game and also fuck anyone still stupid enough to play it.

What a race to start the season. It was exactly what fans wanted. A rookie scoring points, drama and a battle with both with strategies and wheel to wheel between the tho favorites for the championship. It was very fun in the mid-field, although I'm a little disappointed buy Aston Martin, I hoped for more from them. Hamilton proved, once again, how good he he is. Had what's been the slower car, but still won. Well done.

Now that the F1/F2 season in starting, goot a time as any start talk of motorsports on VGR. I'll be following the F1 and F2 season throughout. F2's new format is a bit weird, but has brought about great racing already. As for F1, happy to see a very game Red Bull to against Mercedes. Still a Sir Lewis Hamilton guy despite that and want ham to get title no 8.
