I feel like an idiot, but I can't find the "Sign up" option on you website. I an see the login, but not sign up. Should I just be trying to "log in" with a new email to trigger the sign up option or something?

Tell you what, I'll lock the thread, but leave it up. The the information posted here might still be useful to somebody even if the conversation itself has nowhere to go.

I'll tell you exactly when it was the last time we got a good Terminator game. It was in 2019 when Teyon, the developer behind RoboCop Rouge City, made one. This bluder is something that's bound to happen when someone is intent posting new topics supuriosly and very little else and it wouldn't have happend if you cared enough about the topic to research it first. Take time to respond to others and actually care about the topics you post rather than just posting for the sake of it. There are no grounds to lock this thread, but given the erroneous nature of this topic, I'm not sure where it can go from here. So, I'll leave it up to you @Kane99, whare do you want to go from here?

I just noticed this morning that the follow up to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga launches in a couple of days (January 21st 2024), so this is a good time to get I to the franchise.

Batteries don't last forever. They loose thier ability to retain a charge after being charged and depleted so many times. So whilst its true gaming increases the power output of (what I assume is) a laptop making a battery deplete faster, that's not actually the problem.

Try Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It's only around 8 hours, but whilst I'm not going to say anything more it's an 8 hours you will be better for. It's technically not a horror game, but I must tell you it does have that kind of ambiance.

@Kennysplash If you've made a double post post, report it so one of the mods can remove it.

The general concensus as far as I know ia was that Hogwarts legacy was pretty stable at launch. I didn't hear any horror stories and the game worked perfectly fine for me, and I'm not using a powerful PC either.

I actually find the very question "Will we ever have something like E3 for fans again?" questionable as E3 was never meant for fans in the first place. It was meant for the press and journalists to meet with developers, publishers and console manufactures to get a look at upcoming games and hardware that would then be reported on by said journalist in news outlets, newspapers, online publications and magazines. The turn from a press only event to basically a glorified convention was the start of E3's demise. not to mention we have TGA's and the rise of developers having thier own showcases and announcement events going on regularly as well as actual conventions and festivals, so we already have replacements for E3. And honestly @Kane99, I don't see why we couldn't have had this discussed on the thread discussing E3 officially coming to an end that you already started. Do you realize it's been nearly year since you replied to a thread instead of starting a new one? I'm not saying your braking any rules, but forums are about engagement, not just putting up new topics and ignoring everyone else.

They could call it the Xbox Steven and it would make as much sense as any other name they've used.

Story is huge thing for me, it pretty much what makes a game for me these days. It's the motivation to keep playing and exploring whatever game it is. Let me put it this way, I can play a bad game with a great story more easily than a good game with a poor story.

It's pretty much is Doom with Dinosaurs, so if that's your thing, then great stuff. Personally, I'd feel content to just go back to Doom.

I've got my fair share of experience hosting game nights from the work I used to do for another community a few years go and would be all for VGR having game nights, but a tournament between different gaming communities is just not practical. That's especially the case if prizes are involved as somebody would have to sponsor the price and that's a barrel of problems on it's own.

It's cold, wet and wreaks havoc. There is literally nothing to like.

I waited a couple of days on this new development to this story to see if the rancid old bitch involved or the company she works for would respond, but so so far they have not. Before I get to that though, might I say congratulations to this kind for doing something that people considered impossible for over three decades. It is truly a remarkable achievement. To achieve this takes a level of, skill, dedication and stress management beyond what the vast majority of people can even dream of, so to see it from somebody so young is remarkable. Well done. No onto the update. A 51 year old Sky News anchor/prestentor in the UK named Jayne Secker was reporting on this story on live TV a few days ago. Instead of praising this young man for the accomplishment, she instead scoose to mock him and tell him to "go outside" and say beating Tetris is "not a life goal". Full story from The Daily Mail and here is ReviewtechUSA discussing the matter on YouTube. This same hag was praising a 16 year old darts player that did not win the world championship on the same broadcast. Not that I'm taking anything away from that young man, I'm just pointing out the double standerd. Suffice to say, this makes my piss boil. The bitch is a disgrace, obviously, but this does prove that a ridiculous stigma still applies to video games and the people who play them and it needs to stop. If we start somewhere, I'd say start by this woman apologizing and getting sacked.

Star Citizen never fails to outdo itself with this bullshit. Why people still buy into this scam that clearly has no interest in catering to the average gamer I have no idea. $650 million of thier fans money, more money that was invested into Destiny 1 and 2 combined, and we still don't have a game. This is not even funny anymore.

I know this is stating the obvious, but this is some supreme bullshit. If Xbox won't allow clips of nudity or sex from video games to be recorded they shouldn't be selling games with nudity or sex in them in the first place. I guess that when it's a game that sold like new years booze, such as Baldur's Gate 3, hypocrisy is fine so long as it makes money. This ban should be reversed even though I know it won't be.

Wait a second, how can you say this; And this; Within the same post and expect it to make sense? Not to mention that you're also wrong: @Dismal_Bliss stated quite clearly that there was now a greater understanding of why Elon was being mocked over his comments. The sympathy was described very much as a past tense. Whether or not he still sympathizes with him is his propagative. @Dismal_Bliss did admit that there was a political motivation to Elon's statements before you even made made your apology. And that was a reply directly to you, so I find it hard to believe that you missed it. I think you need to get your thoughts straight because you're not making a lot of sense right now.

If I did and decided to boast about it my friend wouldn't need to wear this anymore:

I would prefer game companies re-learn how to get a release right because they've clearly forgotten. Once they figure that out, then we can address celebrating it.

My biggest problem with "Walking Simulators" is when people call them that. In a "Role Playing Game" or "First Person Shooter" the term indicates in a clear, if somewhat vague, manner whare the core of the game and potential appeal lie. That's what a genre tag is supposed to do. Calling what I would describe as an "Interactive Narrative" as a "Walking Simulator" does nothing to indicate what the core appeal of such a game actually is. It's just derugetery and Innacurate. Games like The Telltale Games, Life is Strange, Tell Me More, Until Dawn, Detroit: Become Human, Star Trek Resurgence and another fine game I discovered recently called Deliver Us Mars have niche appeal, but I am sick to death to Gamers™ looking down on people who enjoy them. There's nothing wrong with playing a video game to run around in mindless fun and blow shit up, but I'd prefer the company of somebody who wants to discuss the complex social issues addressed in Life is Strange rather than some hardcore COD bro.

If you two are not comfortable with violence against police in a fictional fantasy, then that's fine, but I must be honest and it doesn't make sense to me to feel that way. I've talked at length about how blaming video games and other entertainment media for acts of violence and other social problems is hypocritical and counterproductive, so I won't go into great detail again and just summarize it. Like it or not, we have violent instincts. We evolved from predators after all. Standing up to and challenging those with power, the "Alphas", in our social group is also something that evolved from our base instincts, so if anything I'd describe the opportunity to express those instincts in a harmless fantasy that video games like GTA offer as healthy. Humans have sentience, that gives us the capacity to fantasize. It's a good thing. Most of us can commit heinous acts in fantasy without any harm done because we understand the difference between fantasy and reality. Expressing fantasy though a video game is not much different that doing it though pure imagination. People who can't define the difference between fantasy and reality in a video game or in any other form of entertainment media have a problem with thier mind, it's that simple. What makes what Elon sain hypocritical is the implication that video games are in some way responsible for violent behaviours or attitudes, which is clearly nonsense. Elon knows this perfectly well, he only said it to manipulate an area of the public that want to believe that as it's convenient for them for it to be to true as it aligns with thier social/political bias. The man isn't stupid, he knew exactly what he was doing. Like @Dismal_Bliss said, for Musk it is politically motivated, not by passion or any actual moral stance. It's purely for clout. That alone is enough to call Elon a hypocrite, but @Reality vs Adventure quite rightly pointing out the acts of actual cruelty and mistreatment he's been guilty of and that also makes him a hypocrite. Hypocrisy deserves to be mocked and ridiculed because it's dishonest, disrespectful, stupid, manipulative and even potentially dangerous when it comes from somebody with the kind of power Elon Must has. That's my opinion, now switching to Moderator Mode: @Dismal_Bliss, unless I'm misreading this, you keep saying in your own way that you're not interested in the politics of this situation, but the fact of the matter is the politics are relevant here and can't be separated from this topic. You even admitted yourself that Elon Musk's motivations for his statements on social media were political, so like it or not that makes politics a very relevant part of this topic. I'm a moderator on this forum, a forum that has an entire separate sub forum for political discussions for a very good reason, reasons I know from my experience are very necessary. So why haven't I locked or moved this thread? Because, like deep down we both know, the polices can't be separated from this gaming related story. I made that judgment call when @Kane99 first posted this thread, and I still stand by that judgment. So my advice is, and it is nothing more than advice, if you want to continue to engage with this thread, don't just decide the politics of the topic aren't relevant just because you don't want them to be. I remember when the TV cop comedy show Brooklyn 99 aired it's final season in the wake of the BLM movement and didn't shy away from the controversy despite showing the police (mostly) as the good guys throughout it's previous seasons. Instead, they addressed it head on, and that was the right way to do it. Now @Dismal_Bliss , you're right, everyone has a right to thier own opinion and a right to express it, but everyone also has a right to challenge and question somebody else's opinion, that's what debate is. That's true of the free world, and it's true on this forum. You are also right about at least one other thing: @Reality vs Adventure You're starting to stray dangerously close to the line between challenging @Dismal_Bliss's opinion and making personal assumptions and attacks. Because this thread isn't on the political sub-forum, my tolerance for this is lower than it would be if it were. Because you can't have necessarily been expected to know that, there will be no action, but please reign it in a little and keep this appropriate. And that is NOT advice. This next part goes to you, @Dismal_Bliss and everyone else on this forum. If having your opinion challenged is too much for you to handle, you shouldn't express that opinion at all. Now @Reality vs Adventure, I actually agree with you here, I think Elon Muck is a hypocritical prick, but as a mod, I will never disallow people to challenge anyone's opinion even if I agree with it. All I ask is for people to keep it civil, and if they can't (And there is nothing wrong with admitting you can't keep a cool head with certain topics.), don't engage. That is all.

These kinds of batteries are not made to last forever, they slowly loose thier ability to retain a charge over time. Given that the Vita is quite an old console at this point, not only is it not surprising that your battery is struggling with age, but it won't be a very sophisticated battery by modern standards either. I understand that it's a frustrating wait, but just order the new battery.

I didn't actually know there were wild Wallabies in Scotland, so I actually had to research @The Blackangel's story. As far as I was see, the population of Wallibies on Inchconnachan Island is small, contained and stable, so the effect of the environment has been minimal at most and the Wallabies themselves are obviously coping within that environment. I don't necessarily know how that balance has been found nor whether people are directly involved, but for one reason or another it is working. I'm not comparing Scotland to a much larger country like America or Australia, but the differences in the extremes of the environment is broader than one might think. Even in Scotland, there are places whare the ground doesn't freeze. For example, there is a place on the west cost whare natural Palm Tree's grow. Even so, Scotland has had problems with invasive species and removal of native species that has lead to some serious issues. @Reality vs Adventure described the culling of wolves in Yellowstone (Wyoming) and how the lessons weren't learned for Idaho. Well, it turns out the lesson wasn't learned for Yellowstone either as the colonials should have known better as the same thing happened in Briton. We've spent centuries trying to keep a lid on an out of control rise in the population of Deer, especially here in Scotland, because thier natural predator is long gone. One of the worst issues we've had with invasive species the Gray Squirrel. Owners of stately homes imported the Grey Squirrel from North America from 1876 up until the release of the Gray Squirrels into the wild was banned in 1930 after we say the damage they were causing. Gray Squirrels negatively affected the health of native trees by stripping thier bark, but even worse they've decimated the population of our native Red Squirrels. Grey Squirrels are larger, more fierce and more ravenous, so the Red Squirrels simply couldn't compete with thier North American counterparts that adapted beautifully to our environment. Even after nearly 100 years of conservation efforts to save the Red Squirrel, they are still very much endangered. I'm actually have been very fortunate to have a Red Squirrel in the wild as a protected, natural woodland is only around a 15 minute walk from my house and is one of the few places the species survives.

In my case, if anything I get more exited about games now than I did as a kid. I wasn't the most sociable child and whilst I did play video games with the friends I did have, back then it wasn't really the full on hobby that it is for me now. Yes, my pecimissum and cynissisum have definitely grown with time along with the rise of cooperate greed that plauges the industry today, but I do love gaming more as an adult that I did as a kid
