I know these are the usual suspects, but... The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. What more is there to say. It's an icon for a reason. Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West. Two of the best games of any kind I've played in years. AC4: Black Flag. Everyone should include thier favourite AC game in a list like this, assuming you like AC of course. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The granddaddy of them all.

I'll probably go with games. Games have can generate a level of connection and immersion that movies can't. Don't get me wrong, movies and TV shows don't have to that, they're all about observing a story and better a lot of the time, but there is nothing like a good game to really suck you in.

Once again, here we are with the same people dancing around in a loop to same points over and over again just to keep the post counts going up. I'm going to keep locking these until you guys learn that these threads are not your personal text chain. Regardless, this thread has run it's course and it's time for it to be locked. And @Boblee, I'm glad you find this and the harm this is doing to the VGR forum funny... ... but one way or another, this is gonna stop. And if you keep up this level of ignorance and disrespect, I'll come up with an answer that I'm sure you won't find funny at all.

My bad.

What do mean the "Lara Croft" version of Tomb Raider? She's always been the protagonist. In every movie and every game. We have talked before about you taking your time and caring about what you post, so tell me how I'm supposed to believe you when you post stuff like that? Just take a few moments to read what you post before you post it, please.

UPDATE: I've decided to do another update. As some of you may have read in this thread here, and I don't know how or when but this issue came about, but Tales of Arise on Steam has some sort of issue that makes using certain controllers impossible. If you do pick this game up on PC with the intention of using a controller, be wary.

They had this on a forum I used to be a part of years ago. The basic layout was actually very similar to what we have here with the profile info of the person, forum handle, role, avatar, number of posts etc on the left with the post itself on the right. I took a snip of one of these profile displays. I've blocked out the information for obvious reasons, I just wanted to give @DC an idea as to how this might look.

I would not describe WatchMojo as a gaming channel though. They post content about lots of things within entertainment and media.

According to what I've read, uses of Xbox controllers have had issues as well. I don't see a pattern to it unless it's affecting wireless controllers only. The fact is though, if Steam didn't auto disable the the stem input function when launching the game, I wouldn't have this issue. Steam appeared to be disabling the steam input function because of how I have to set the controller application option to get the controller to work at all. I find it hard to believe than Bandai Namco are solely at fault for that.

I'm not a massive fan of the series, but there's no denying that this is an exiting announcement. I just pray that this doesn't turn into another Cyberpunk 2077, and that's a good reason for people to reign in thier excitement a bit. I for one have no clue what to expect from this, but despite the recent past CDPR are a good developer and I'm looking forward to this.

This Erazer Defender P10 Gaming notebook I have; Cost me around £1000, but that is a bit of false economy because the laptop only came with 512GB of storage in the form of an NVME SSD as a boot drive, which is just not enough, so I had to add a 2TD SATA SSD to it, bringing the cost up to around £1200. Watch out for that if you looking into a gaming laptop, a lot of them are like that. Spec's; Processor: Intel Core i7-10750H 2,6GHz (Boost clock at 4GHz) Hard Drive: 512GB SSD (+ the aforementioned additional 2TB SSD) RAM: 16GB DDR4-SDRAM Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (6GB of GDD6 VRAM) 17,3in 1080p Screen with a maximum refresh rate of 144hz, easily sufficient for screen that size and this spec' of GPU. Overall, very happy with it. The difference between a 15,6in screen and a 17,3 may not sound like much, but trust me when I say you really notice it. The laptop is sturdy if a bit large and with more upgradeable options then you might expect. For 1080p gaming, it hasn't let me down yet with most games getting upwards of 50fps at max settings.

I want to be optimistic, but I don't feel like I am. The business practices seem to just get worse with each new generation and I for one am not convinced the games themselves are getting any better. I do feel good about how these new consoles look at improving the gameplay experience with the high speed SSD's and ease of use, but ultimately it's the games that count and I'm not sure we'll really see a marked improvement.

This is another thread with usual suspects just going round in circles making meaningless repeats of the same things that been said already. Yet more posting anything just to post something, so this locked.

Just posting this because I think it's really funny. They are actually copying the spam 😄 https://www.igamesnews.com/forum/threads/top-10-insane-graphics-game-realy-i-say-wow.64441/#post-64702

Maybe you're right and I should follow your example because treating people with vitriol and venom just for expressing thier opinion is nothing like you, is it? There is nothing arrogant about stating simple facts, but whatever, I can't be bothered to argue with you.

Well, the launch of HZD on PC wasn't that bad, and has been fixed. It run's fine on my laptop (16GB RAM, Intel i7 10750h and an RTX 2060).

If one of us look like they are loosing thier temper right, quite frankly it's you. We both know that the backlash I described did happen and we can both recognise that @Heatman was unaware of it and hadn't played the game. I was simply advising him that if he knew he didn't know enough about this it would better to not say anything, or (to expand n that) to some research. We both also know that just because a game sells well doesn't automatically mean a game was well received. That has happened more time than can counted. So might I suggest you calm down.

The discussion is about gambling and he didn't link or peddle the website, it was just context, so that's fine.

OK, that's. This another that the crowed who post anything just to post some have ruined by turning it into thier own personal chatroom to shit post about things that are at best barley relevant to topic. This is the exact problem that's being discussed here. Here's the thing @Heatman, @Boblee, @Justin11 and @Head_Hunter, it always you guys. @egghead, for you it's even worse. You keep trying to bring NFT's and crypto into this thread when this thread has nothing to do with that. You even post this twice, I mean the exact same post; This set off alarm bells to me. I'm gonna look further into your post history and I find you've been trying to push this game and/or other crypto scams, you are going to be in a lot of trouble. Whatever the case, I am not allowing this thread to abused further. Locked.

I played it, and you obviously didn't. Destiny was faced with huge backlash when it first launched due to it's lacklustre content and false advertising that made the game to be much more that what it really was. It sold so well because it was sold on a lie. And since you obviously didn't know about about of this, here's some advice. If you don't know what your talking about, don't about talk it. You'll just make yourself look like a fool.

Yes, you like FIFA 22. We got that the first 1000 times you said it. Now can you please stop bringing that game up in threads that are not applicable to it? For example, this thread. A game that isn't even 6 months old has no place in a thread about older games.

OK, so it turns out there is some kind of problem with Tales of Arise that I didn't know about that affects some controllers. I won't go into details as this thread was never meant to be about this particular game, but suffice to say I tried everything. Eventually, I gave up and will plug in one of my old Xbox controllers to use as a wired controller rather than my nice and shiny EasySMX wireless for this particular game. I'm pissed off that that is the answer, because it shouldn't be.

Take all the time you need. Looking forward to your return. If there is anything any of us can do, let us know.

You could add those thing to you profile, but I know you're about. You're about having your gamertags and such displayed below your avatar, right? I like the idea. Of course it would be 100% optional as not everyone wants to share those things, but I like the idea. What do you think @DC?

As it turns out, that didn't fix it at least not for Tales of Arise. After going through all that, the controller still doesn't work. The game is recognising that there is a controller input to some extent as the mouse cursor disappears from the main menu when I press a button on the controller, but there is no action. It turns out that Steam is auto-disabling the Steam controller input when I go into the game. I checked it before booting up the game, everything was enabled, but when I exit, I find this. And I cannot get it to stay on. Choosing any option other than "forced off" for the controller application options menu in big picture makes the controller not work at all. This didn't happen with another game I tried it with, it stayed enabled, so it's my change to the controller application options that triggered this. I have the controller set to player one, I tried playing a game from EGS and it worked fine and as aforementioned I tried doing the stupid process I described and showed in the video for another game on steam and that worked for that game (and no, the controller didn't work on that before changing that setting, I checked.). So this Steam making a complete arse of this yet again. I'll update when I find the answer.
