Whilst it's true that a gaming PC can serve as a utility in a way that a games console can't that's a bit of a false benefit. Mobile phones and tablets can do most of the same stuff that a utility PC does these days. Then there is there's cost. You could buy a PS5 and cheap laptop to cover both your gaming needs and utility PC needs and spend probably half money you would do building a gaming rig that can match a PS5 in terms of in-game performance. So for me, that argument doesn't really work anymore.

I'm not the biggest anime fan, so maybe I'm he wrong person to ask, but I do know of Crunchyroll. You can watch for free of pay a subscription for premium access and it a lot of content.

I've decided I'm just going to lock this topic as I'm fairly certain that this profile is just a front for promotion and this thread is bait for these exact questions.

It's been a while, but a new gameplay trailer has dropped for Black Myth: Wukong. It still looks very promising, even if this is taking a long time to come out.

Please note that the Free Games from Epic this week has changes to now include DOOM 64. check the OP for details.

Even after all this time, I had no idea there was a limit. As far as I know, points aren't awarded for likes (correct me if I'm wrong), so I don't actually see a reason to have a limit at all.

I know you specified no exclusives, but availability is main factor. Most games will run better on my gaming laptop than on the consoles I own plus with it being a laptop there is a convivence factor, so given the choice I will play any said game on PC instead of a console. However, if it turns out a game is cheaper of has some additional content on a console port, I would consider that.

You what I really hate, it's when people say "It's always the last place you look". Well, of course it is! Why would anyone once they finally find something then keep looking for it?

There are regular animals in the game and you can hunt them for resources. To explain what the machines are would lead into spoiler territory, so I'm afraid I can't really say, but the machines haven't replaced the animals if that makes sense.

Don't comment unless it's an actual nomination. You have been warned about this before, consider this you last one.

I'll cast my vote for @kingpotato. Active, insightful and entertaing, every forum needs at least one of him.

Welcome to VGR. That's certainly an impressive back catalogue.

Yay for me, I actually have an opportunity to try this game at last. I was reluctant to buy it given the mixed reaction the game had and buy the time I decided was interested, the community had dropped of somewhat. This is good for me as I know I'm not the only gamepass user who hasn't tried this out yet. I'm not that surprised. The game went multiplatform ages ago, so whilst I see he irony, this isn't that shocking.

First off, the game that @DC gave away (Like I'm sure all of the games he has given away as part of the points system) was in the form of a digital code and, as part of the system, you have to provide proof you have redeemed said code in the "Post here when you get your reward" thread. So no, you can't just sell them off. The system wouldn't exist in the form it does if @DC wanted you to do anything with these games other than play them. Second, @Yaramaki didn't win that game by "bidding more". This wasn't like the Auction No. 17- $15 Amazon Gift Card currently going on. There was a set price for the code in points, first come, first served. Check that thread for Aquadine on Nintendo Switch and you'll see the difference. Lastly, and to expand on what @Yaramaki said, even if the system in place was meant for you to sell the codes you bid for, that would be unethical. Not only is it dishonest, but it also denies one of your fellow forum members the chance to grab a game that they actually wanted. Check out this thread for Tyrant's Blessing for Steam that I recently partook in. Given that I had already got another game called Hard West 2 through bid for rewards that was very similar, I was very reluctant to go for it and would only take it if nobody else was interested: As you can see, in the end @DC felt nobody else was interested, so I got the code, but that's not the point. The point is that it's expected for people to bid for these rewards because they want them, any other motive is not appropriate. I actually held of commenting on that thread for days to give somebody else the chance to claim that game, the thought of claiming the code to then sell it never even crossed my mind. The fact you think that it's OK to claim a reward then just sell it off is, quite frankly, alarming and I'm very concerned. Just in case it is not clear, claiming an award to then only sell it off or exchange it for credit to buy something else in NOT what the Bid for Rewards section is for, so don't even think about it.

I thought it would be fairly self explanatory, but @NightmareFarm is referring to are games with protagonists (The main character(s), usually the character(s) you play as) who don't speak. Doom and GTA3 quickly come to mind as examples. Games such as Fallout 3 or Skyrim the protagonists are not voiced, but they do have dialogue, so that's not the same thing. It's not something that is very common now, but I'm not really a fan of the idea either. Just using the two examples I came up with already, in Doom it's OK because what few expressions the character does have to make are done successfully through action and gesture, so that works, but didn't realise how big of a problem this was in GTA 3 until I played Vice city. It can make understanding and relating to the characters actions and what they're going through much more difficult, especially if the game is not an RPG where you only control the character's actions in gameplay rather than thier role in the story. So games like Dragon's Dogma and Kingdoms of Amalur don't suffer much because your characters place in the role play well established through your actions, but I do believe the protagonist's vague and limited dialogue that lacked personality didn't do those RPGs any favours. Going back to Fallout, especially the earlier Fallout games, you see the difference it makes.

I've this on Steam before and the only thing that the other person can see and access are the games in your library and that's all. The have no access to anything regarding your profile including your payment info, they can't access nor change your login details and they cannot add nor remove games from your account. It just adds thier games onto your library and that's it. Fearing your sensitive info being compromised is always a fair concern, but the family sharing feature on Steam doesn't make that any more or less likely.

I find it hard believe that somebody could mistake a PSP for a Switch anyway, but if you genuinely didn't know what a Switch looks like (Again, hard to believe. Even if you don't own a Switch, you must at least have seen a picture of one.), why wouldn't you just do a quick search online? You obviously were not invested in the answer because if you were you would have looked it up, so what exactly was the point of this?

I hate Tonberry's, they are pains in the ass. But, for you I'll make an exception. Welcome to VGR.

Welcome to VGR, happy to have you. No shortage of fun here, just get stuck in and post.

First things first, welcome to VGR. I've move this thread to the Gaming Sub-Forum as that is a more appropriate host for this thread. As for your request, all I can suggest is check out this thread here for some inspiration in terms of finding modable games. I also know of a game called SHENZHEN I/O that might appeal.

I appreciate the compliments @Yaramaki, but you're wrong. THAT is the perfect way to word it.

What's that mess on shoulder? Oh wait, It's my brain. Honestly though, I actually really like the look of this. I dig the humour, the mechanics are inventive and fun, it's a good looking game and the story and world presented has a lot of potential. I think this will surprise a lot of people.

This has nothing to do with political correctness, just... correctness. Most games, especially in the AAA scene, are developed by one company and published by another. The relationship is comparable to a recording artist (the developer) and a record label (the publisher). For example, Battlefield is developed by Dice and published by donkey shit... I mean EA. An indie game is a game that has been independantly published by the same company who developed it without a third party publisher. That's whare the term "indie" comes from, it's an abbreviation. That single company can be a company of just one person in a shed or a cooperation employing thousands, the scale is is irrelevant. So you can come up a list indie games and include the aforementioned AC Series, GTA4, Skyrim, Fallout 3, FIFA, The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077 and nobody would be able to argue with you as those games are all published by the same companies that made them.

I've used the system before. It's actually been a thing for quite a while. It works, but I'm unsure what the limits are of the system without looking it up.

That is a slightly ironic post given that the AC series are both published and developed by Ubisoft, as in there not separate companies doing both things. In other words, the AC series is independently published, so technically they are indie games. I know what you mean by indie games though, don't get me wrong, but I just find it interesting how people through that term around without really understanding what it means
